Chapter 154: The Source of the Plague, Incomprehensible
I used to think that the hidden danger would explode in an adventure, but I never expected that the hidden danger would explode in the city of Zuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yes, I was careless at the time.
Zaun is a city-state alliance of technological, magical, and mercantilist city-states, and the young next-age technology and science have greatly contributed to the development of civilization, and its research and application in Zaun has increasingly expanded the boundaries of morality. Countless factories and laboratories are constantly excreting waste into the environment, turning Zu'an into a smoky place. Compared to the sky of Zaun, its underground pollution is even more severe.
Kovacs is the capital of Zaun and the tech center of the whole of Zaun, where there is a miasma, smoke and dust, and all kinds of strange things happening all kinds of strange things.
It was also my home base in Ebner, and I fell asleep after returning from an adventure, when my self-employed group took on a mission behind my back and Will.
Zaun's waste collects in its sewers and mixes into a highly toxic and mysterious concoction. Out of this terrible mixture, some inexplicable creatures are often born, and the evolution of life is uncertain, so most of them are misshapen toys.
But that time seemed a little unusual.
The horrific poison gas took the names of several Zaun citizens, and one seemed to see a sinister shadow flickering through the sewers, and an attacked citizen struggled to escape, but even Zaum'an's best medicine failed to save his life, and "rat" was his last word.
This incident caused a lot of panic in Zaun.
I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I got home, but the two guys, Qianluo and Samadhi, happened to have nothing to do and took on the task.
In fact, with the comprehensive strength of my adventure group, the investigation is not a big deal, as long as the dead are studied, and at the same time carefully follow the clues, the mouse has nothing to hide. No matter who it is, as long as its means are known, then its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
A creature born out of the gutter, nothing to fear. Zuan is also our home base, we both occupy a good location, and theoretically there is no reason for us to lose.
But these members of my team stubbornly lost all the good hands. Is a newborn calf not afraid of tigers? Who knows.
They thought that they were not afraid of heaven and earth, that they were living in comics, that no matter how risky they were, they would not die, and they went directly to the enemy's lair without the slightest research on them.
What I had been fearing finally happened.
The first to miss was the Qianluo, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, he did a good job at the beginning, completed his task perfectly, perfectly detected the existence of the source of the plague Tuqi, perfectly obtained the sample of the poison, and perfectly discovered the few Zuan citizens who were captured by the source of the plague.
In order to obtain the plague seeds, Tucci imprisoned several humans for experimentation.
Qianluo is very good, he is one of the most powerful scouts in Zu'an, he can do patrol back and forth in the enemy's lair, and he will not be discovered, but he often walks by the river without getting his feet wet, and many of the scout's secret techniques can only cover up his traces for a while, and after a long time, clues will always be revealed.
To put it simply, many of his tricks are time-sensitive, and once time passes, they will lose their effect and attract the attention of the enemy.
Qianluo wanted to rescue the hostages together, but he was unwittingly tracked down by the source of the plague, and by the time he realized that something was wrong, it was too late.
When Qianluo and Samadhi reconciled, Tucci appeared out of thin air, let out a manic and crazy laugh, raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, and used the deadly venom, but in an instant, the hostages that Qianluo had managed to rescue were shot alive by the source of the plague, and they rushed to fight, and at this time, Tucci's army of rats suddenly appeared!
Everyone has to pay for what he does, and Samadhi is a proud boy who is overconfident in his craft and never checks, but on that day, his lead is drenched and fails.
When Samadhi was about to launch the explosives buried around, he was shocked to find that it could not be detonated, and by the time he was ready to change hands, it was too late!
The army of rats at the source of the plague scarlet eyes surged overwhelmingly, easily tearing him to pieces, Samadhi's miss caused a chain reaction, which surprised the members of the group present at the time, the people who fought in the adventure group have always been a whole, and one person has no rhythm, it is a naked disaster for everyone!
It's funny to say, we just crawled out of the tiger's den in Longtan, and even teased the legendary powerhouse, but we fell hard here in the epic source of the plague, Tucci, and the price was the lives of my brothers!
The reason is their negligence!
The rats roared and poured in, and by the time I arrived, it was all over, and the corpses everywhere couldn't tell who was who, and the rats of Tucci unleashed the deadliest of revenge, crushing all the bastards who dared to disobey their will to pieces.
But at that time, my adventuring group was actually alive.
Although there were a large number of dead people, it was only a temporary stop after all, except for Samadhi and Qianluo, there were only three companions staying here, and the dead were either ordinary people rescued by Qianluo, or adventurers who happened to be stationed there, my adventure group was not injured, everything was fine.
So what's next? At that time, it was a revenge set.
Because the information brought back by Qianluo disappeared with his death, I could only temporarily go to the Zu'an laboratory to find out, through the analysis of the venom left by Tucci a long time ago, I knew the specific methods and specific information of this mouse, but unfortunately, the pharmacist of our adventure group happened to be killed in that battle, and there were no bones left.
I had no choice but to go directly to Will's father for help.
But at this time, another incident happened, those members of the adventure group who did not participate in the Samadhi and Qianluo incidents lost their minds because of the death of their companions, and took matters into their own hands before I came back!
Are their brains empty?
I really don't know what they're anxious about, I won't say if it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, can't I even wait for three days? I don't know the details of the enemy, and I really don't know what is going on in their heads!
I really don't know, what I'm anxious about?
Can anger make you stronger? Will, companion can make you stronger? Just kidding! Impulses and emotions in action only bring destruction!
What's in a hurry, what are you anxious about, don't you think your companions haven't died enough? The real murderer is not the source of the plague, Tucci, but yourselves!
When I asked Will's father for help, he happened to be very dissatisfied with the progress of the relationship between me and Will, and dragged me for most of the day to refuse to help, wasting me a long time in vain, and by the time I went to find a companion with help, it was already too late.
My reckless companion had rushed into Tucci's cavern and engaged in a great battle with a swarm of rats they knew nothing about, and the battle was indeed an overwhelming victory, Tucci was only an epic creature after all, how could it stop my adventure party, but its venom was really capable of killing people!
The antidote I brought can only cure the poison in the living, how can it cure the poison of the dead, looking at the distorted faces of those people because of their anger at the source of the plague, I can't help but feel funny, who is the one who really killed his companions?
And did they catch the source of the plague? No.
Dealing with this kind of enemy that can be invisible requires special development water, but these men of mine have no idea about Tucci's methods before, or have not learned about Tucci at all, will they bring this kind of troublesome potion?
Burned with anger, he couldn't do anything in the end.
By the time I arrived with the potion, it was too late, the source of the plague had fled, and its rats and rats had been completely slaughtered by us, but my adventuring party had suffered heavy casualties, and looking at my companions with a mixture of anger and sorrow, I was comforting them on the surface, but inwardly I was already sneering.
Who is responsible for all this?
But soon I couldn't sneer in my heart, because I found the corpse of Fan Lei, the woman I loved the most.
She wasn't a member of our party, so I didn't expect her to come with my unwritten henchmen at first, but looking at her corpse, I knew it all.
Fan Lei is a very soft-hearted girl, she is Zu'an's doctor, she is kind-hearted, and the last thing she can see is that the people around her are hurt. She must have been looking for me at the location of our party, and when she knew that everyone was going to fight against Tuci, she was worried that they might encounter all kinds of poisons, so she came with her.
She must have advised my men, but my men must have not heeded her.
I stood beside Fan Lei in a daze, I don't know why I didn't shed tears, is it because I have been hiding my emotions and forgetting how to cry?
Or was it because I was so shocked that I forgot if I was in tears?
I don't know, I don't know if my heart is twisted, because the excessive sadness at that time almost made me lose all my feelings, I just stared at the corpse in a daze, and my fingers trembled uncontrollably.
I was half-on my knees, letting the sewage from the sewer flow through my knees, and the sharp pain of pins and needles did not make me stand up again, and I later examined my body and realized that my body had been badly damaged by the relationship of being soaked in sewage for a long time, and I could no longer be a life mage.
But I don't care anymore.
Since that day, the original Ebner has been dead, and the purpose of my life is to make Tucci's blood debt pay for it, and to make the real murderers pay the price.
Will sensed something was wrong with me, but I didn't care, she wasn't the one who instigated the fight in the first place, and I didn't have to take her life, so I waited.
Then I found out about the little action of the Seed Council, and then I got in touch with Pidley, and then—
That's what happened today.
