Chapter 571: Signal
When the sun rose again, Xu Yichen also woke up from the [meditation] state, and all night, except for the crackling sound of burning corpses in flames, these illegally built buildings seemed very quiet.
I'm afraid that the undead who were left behind in this neighborhood were attracted to the vicinity of the wooden house last night, and were stewed by themselves.
Now, the Demon Hunter was faced with the question of how to get through the walls.
Obviously, the half-demonic gate is not easy to mess with, and the wall is not easy to mess with, otherwise the survivors in the Storm's Rest would have evacuated long ago, and they wouldn't have just run out with a few people to deliver the message.
Jared Harris's diary records that the Seris had prophesied that the Brotherhood's higher-ups would sacrifice the entire population of Storm's End to the gods in exchange for eternal life.
Does this mean that the population of Storm's End represents a threshold where the plague will change when all the survivors who are still alive fall prey to the plague?
As for the way of eternal life pursued by the high-level of the Brotherhood, Xu Yichen glanced at the plague named 'Cancer of Eternal Life' in the mission introduction with a sneer, and they were now eighty percent seeking benevolence, and it was difficult to die.
Every year the Republic discovers several cases of this kind of trying to profit from black technology, and generally brings out one or several whisperers who are hiding behind the scenes.
The same thing, in this world, is nothing more than a few reasons.
A nobleman who has a luxury of immortality hears a murmur that should not be heard on a mysterious ritual or mysterious object, or reads a mysterious text that should not be read.
Chaos' favorite thing is this kind of fool who kills himself.
Xu Yichen listened attentively, and there was a rhythmic sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and not long after, the centaur lady who had a relationship with each other before appeared on the road.
Centaur Lady had already entered the range of the 'Wall of Nature' barrier, but she didn't dare to act at night, she was afraid of encountering an infected person who couldn't solve it herself.
This kind of plague is so severe that the druids have never seen it before, and at the beginning of the purge, many reckless druids were tricked, and finally had to be given the last mercy.
The centaur lady didn't want to follow in their footsteps, and although she took orders from Master Gast, the Storm's Rest was so big that she didn't meet the demon hunter.
It stayed up until dawn, and the centaur girl, who had been running back and forth in the wilderness for half a night and did not dare to rest, ran along the main road into the residential area.
Then he directly met Xu Yichen who was standing in the middle of the road.
"Does Master Gast have anything to explain?" The Demon Hunter stood next to the room where the corpse had been burned last night, and even after a few hours of extinguishing the flames, the stench of roasting rotting corpses still lingered nearby.
"Master Gast asked me to give this to you!" The centaur lady threw a storage bag three meters away from Xu Yichen.
Although she had heard from Master Gast about the valor of this demon hunter, she still didn't want to take any chances, what if the other party had already been infected?
This plague can't help but be transmitted by gas, and can also be transmitted through bodily fluids, the former can also be carried by the physique, and the latter is much more troublesome.
"Here are water purification stones and magic seeds, a water purification stone can purify fifty gallons of drinking water in an hour, although those seeds can only be planted once, but they are enough for two thousand people to eat for a month." The centaur lady looked at the burned houses behind the demon hunters, densely packed with corpses, most of them burned beyond recognition, and moved back and forth with some uneasiness.
"Have the druids found an effective way to suppress the plague?" Xu Yichen took the thing thrown by the centaur lady, opened it and checked it: "If I really have a chance to bring out the people who are still alive in the city, what are you going to do with them?" ”
The centaur lady was silent for a second, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I'm afraid we don't have any way to cure this plague, and those survivors can't leave the range of the 'wall of nature', although they haven't mutated yet, they are already plague carriers themselves." ”
"What's your name?" Xu Yichen didn't make a fuss, Resident Evil is so troublesome, every time the survivors need to go through a long observation period before they can leave the quarantine area freely.
Of course, this is still based on the ability of the Republic to develop an antidote, and sometimes the virus is too tenacious and mutates too fast, and they have to be isolated for life.
Xu Yichen has seen such a tragedy a few times, but fortunately, as the secret base of the umbrella company continues to fall, more information is interpreted, and they still have a chance to see the light of day.
"My name is Haus Haulner, a druid who is just starting out in the Way of Nature." The centaur lady still kept a safe distance from the demon hunters: "Is there anything else I can do to help?" Although I don't have a good impression of humans, I don't want to see such a person die of this plague and become immortal and endanger other lives again. ”
"See that bell tower in the city?" Xu Yichen pointed to a high point in the city in the distance, and said to the centaur mother: "If I have the opportunity to bring the people inside, I will light a beacon fire on that bell tower." ”
"Blinking twice means that everything is going well, I'm going to take them out, ask the druids to prepare enough food and water to calm the survivors' emotions." Xu Yichen said to the centaur in detail: "Flickering three times means that the plague has another hidden situation, I need to go deeper into the city, but the survivors are safe." ”
The centaur lady nodded, trying to memorize what the demon hunter had said.
"If it flashes four times, it means that there are no survivors left in the city, and you can dispose of this plague in your own way." Xu Yichen continued: "Once the beacon fire is lit, I will repeat the signal every five minutes for half an hour, and I will do it three times every night to prevent you from seeing it. ”
"If you see my signal and set fire to a house outside the city, I know you're ready." Xu Yichen emphasized to the centaur mother again: "Remember the signal order, don't get confused." ”
"I remember Mr. Demon Hunter!" The centaur lady nodded, and suddenly asked, "What if I haven't waited for the beacon fire to ignite?" ”
"That means I'm dead, you can do whatever you want, and I can't control it at that time." After finishing speaking, Xu Yichen turned around and walked in the direction of the big city gate: "At the latest, I will light the beacon fire on the third night, and if it is too late, you don't have to wait." ”
