Chapter 202: The Pole
Ye Fanghua poured a glass of water first, handed it to Chen Pi, and then said: "Senior, judging from the information I have obtained now, the leader of the Nether Monarch should be a carrier of bacteria, and his blood seems to be able to suppress the outbreak of the plague. ”
"The people in charge of monitoring them told us that the leader of the Nether Monarch suddenly appeared in the Nether Monarchs, and he made each of the Nether Kings suck a little blood from him, and then the Nether Monarchs, who were already so sick that they didn't even have the strength to move a finger, actually stood up one by one, and our people tried to stop them from leaving, and the leader of the Nether Kings killed four of them, and the rest were injured, and all of them were infected with the plague."
Hearing Ye Fanghua's words, Chen Pi couldn't help but be taken aback, the blood of the leader of the Nether Monarch could suppress this ferocious plague, and the people who did it with him would actually be infected with the plague, in this case, it would be even more difficult to encircle and suppress them again.
"These Nether Monarchs finally fled into the city of Himi, which was under martial law, and it is impossible for the people in charge of the periphery to stop them, and we can't send people in to chase them down now, and the city itself is a plague-stricken area, and a third of the population has been infected with the plague so far." Ye Fanghua said solemnly, "We don't know what to do now, so I begged Daoist Tiansongzi to urgently recruit you back." ”
Chen Pi couldn't help but feel very troubled at this time, the situation forced him into a dilemma, if this is left alone, these Netherworld Monarchs are doing nonsense in Bingjian City, and once again create a large number of blood slaves, which will be more difficult to exterminate in the future, if it is decided to chase and kill immediately, the threat of the plague really cannot be ignored, especially these Netherworld Kings with bacteria, how can they ensure that they are not infected in the process of fighting.
Chen Pi racked his brain and thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't decide.
The room was terrifyingly quiet, and the eyes of the three of Tian Songzi fell on Chen Pi, who was meditating, and everyone knew that the fundamental purpose of this group of Netherworld Kings was to avenge the fallen Netherworld King, and Chen Pi was one of their primary targets. In the bloody battle of Liangtai, Chen Pi was also seriously injured because of this, and recuperated in Bear City for a period of time, if it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the plague, Chen Pi should still be recuperating in Bear City, and now that the Nether King has returned, the person who feels the most personal threat is still him.
"I can't ignore it, I can't ignore it." Chen Pi sighed, "If these Nether Monarchs are given a chance to breathe, the plague that we have worked so hard to control will inevitably spread on a large scale again, and since they can't stop their entry outside Himi City, naturally they can't be allowed to stay in Himi City obediently, I think these Nether Kings are just looking for a temporary place to recuperate from their injuries, and their ultimate goal is to take revenge on us." ”
Ye Fanghua nodded and said: "Seniors are right, I have already discussed this issue with Daoist Elder Tian Songzi and Lin Xingchen before I came, and we have also come to a similar conclusion as you, but the question now is, in the face of these plague-ridden Nether Monarchs, how do we exterminate them, how do we avoid the personnel sent from being infected, our current manpower is very tight, and we can no longer afford a large number of losses." ”
Chen Pi nodded sympathetically, because of the sudden outbreak of the plague, they could only use the existing human resources in their hands to arrange the defensive line, and the mobile force was seriously insufficient.
"Those who proposed to use incendiary bombs to deal a devastating blow to Himi City were vetoed." Ye Fanghua rubbed her temples and smiled bitterly, "This group of fools thought that they would be able to wipe out those Nether Monarchs, so even if there were hundreds of thousands of civilians buried with them, but I can understand their feelings, this plague is really terrible, if the 100% mortality rate spreads, I am afraid that it will completely disappear from the world." Chen Pi and the three nodded understandingly, it is not surprising that when the survival of a nation is threatened, this mood appears.
"Tian Songzi, have they made any new discoveries in Bear City Hospital recently?" Chen Pi turned his head and asked Tian Songzi, "It's been nearly half a month, there should be some results, right?" ”
Tian Songzi saluted respectfully, and then said: "Senior, those scientific researchers found in experiments that the transmission speed of this plague virus is related to temperature, the higher the temperature, the stronger their ability to reproduce and spread, and conversely, the lower the temperature, the weaker their activity ability. According to experimental data, minus 45 degrees is the time when they are most active, and minus 50 degrees Celsius, their activity tends to stop, and almost no reproduction occurs, and it is according to this theory that those cultivators who have been infected by the leader of the Nether Monarch are now in cold storage to prolong their lifespan. ”
"Oh, and that property." Chen Pi nodded thoughtfully.
"And some of them suspect that the origin of this plague is in the verandah." Tian Songzi hesitated slightly, but still said it.
"Balcony." Chen Pi couldn't help but be taken aback, couldn't help but stand up, and asked in a loud voice, "Tell me, why do you suspect it's Minamata?" "If the origin of the plague can be confirmed, it undoubtedly means that the research work has made great progress.
It turned out that one of the experts was from a family of cultivators, although he was not very interested in cultivation since he was a child, but after all, he was born in a family, he still knows a lot about these things, and has a certain foundation in practice, and when he became an adult, he became the youngest disease transmission expert, and has been working on the front line of treating the spread of disease, this time, he took the initiative to ask for the study of this new kind of plague, after this half a month of hard work, he raised this suspicion.
"First, this plague appeared precisely after Liangtai City was occupied by the demon clan, and spread to the surrounding areas with this as the center, so Liangtai City is very suspicious; Second, most of the aquatic products in the waters near Liangtai City have different degrees of mercury pollution, which is well known; Third, the monsters that appeared in Liangtai City were actually mutated creatures catalyzed by the demon qi of the animals contaminated with mercury, so some of the creatures that mutated again were produced, and where did the corpses of those creatures that failed to complete the mutation go? ”
"He checked the weather conditions in Liangtai City during this period of time, and found that there had been several heavy rains in Liangtai City a few days ago, so he suspected that a large number of mutant corpses were washed into the bay and became food for fish, thus re-infecting fish." Tian Songzi said in one breath.
Chen Pi thoughtfully touched his chin, closed his eyes and thought for a moment before he spoke: "What does he mean is that this plague is likely to be mutated into the current plague by some common germ that has been contaminated with mercury, catalyzed by demonic gas, and combined with the action of three mixed poisonous gases?" ”
"Yes, that's exactly what he thinks." Tian Songzi replied categorically, Ye Fanghua, who was sitting next to him, immediately turned blue and white, and looked a little restless, if what Tian Songzi said was true, this time it was another big disaster. Mercury pollution is an old thing, and what happened half a century ago can't be said now, after all, in that era, there were too many such things, and almost no country could completely avoid it, and the demon gas catalyst was not to blame, after all, it was the behavior of the demon clan, but the poison gas could not be avoided in any way.
Recently, because of the epidemic, the world's attention has been diverted from the use of chemical weapons.
Ye Fanghua hated those who made up their own opinions, if it weren't for their ignorant practices, how could they have caused so many rights and wrongs, and because they were so bold, tens of thousands of elites died on the balcony, and a group of more terrible monsters were born, and now, even this damn plague could have been born because of this, Ye Fanghua really wanted to tear apart those bastard bastards who decided to use chemical weapons.
Chen Pi looked at Ye Fanghua who gritted his teeth twice, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, how could he not have imagined that Ye Fanghua was worried about it, this time he was lifting a stone to hit his own feet, and it was not light.
"Is there any good way for him to prove this suspicion now?" Chen Pi then asked Tian Songzi.
"At present, he is only speculating, so he hopes to obtain water quality and fish samples from the waters of Liangtai for further research, and this will have to trouble Mr. Ye Fanghua and ask him to arrange a boat." Tian Songzi looked at Ye Fanghua and said.
Ye Fang Huaqiang said with a smile: "Dao Chief, please rest assured, I will immediately start arranging the sampling work, I believe that in three days at most, the scholars will be able to get the samples." ”
"We must act quickly in this matter, the sooner we can determine the source of the plague, the sooner we can find a way to prevent it, this is a major matter related to the safety of everyone's lives." Chen Pi admonished Ye Fanghua two more words, and then everyone's conversation once again turned to how to exterminate the Netherworld King.
"Mr. Chen, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not." Lin Xingchen, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, said suddenly.
"Tell me about it." Chen Pi, who seemed to be at a loss for what to do about how to exterminate the Nether King, said happily.
"There is a kind of magic that we call the Holy Light Protection, which is an important protective magic before we do wars with the Nether King and other alien races, with its protection, it can reduce the non-physical damage suffered by the judge and the alien race to the extreme, but unfortunately it is slower to cast, it can't be done in one hurry, someone needs to protect the law, if the generation of this plague has a demonic catalytic effect, I think the Holy Light Blessing should be able to play a certain protective role, but how long it can be protected, to what extent, I can't be sure." Lin Xingchen said.
Chen Pi looked at Ye Fanghua and Tian Songzi, who were happy on their faces, and said happily: "In this way, it should still have a protective effect, as for how much it can be protected, I think this requires us to use a series of experiments to prove it, this work will be handed over to you, as soon as possible to confirm how great the protective effect of this magic is, this is the key to our next step." ”
Ye Fanghua stood up excitedly and said, "I will immediately arrange for people to assist Lin Xingchen in carrying out this work. He knew very well in his heart that Chen Pi and Tian Songzi were not willing to put their manpower into the battle against the Netherworld Monarch without any guarantee, if the Holy Light Protection could really work as Lin Xingchen said, they would not refuse this opportunity to kill the Netherworld Monarch who went to Japan.
"Okay, let's all get busy, and let me know as soon as there is a result, so we can decide on the next step." Chen Pi stood up and said to the three of them, and the three of them said goodbye in a witty way.
Chen Pi said loudly: "Come out, it's not a good habit to listen to the corner." ”
The third girl walked out of the hiding place with a flushed face: "I said that everyone should not come, he will definitely find out, and you will not listen to the tears." Youlu muttered quietly, "If you find it, you will find it, he can still skin us, so I am not afraid of him." Hua smiled nonchalantly with tears in her eyes, "Besides, these are not big things, we hear them, and they won't harm them." ”
However, her heart was really startled by the news she had just heard, it turned out that the corpses of those creatures in Liangtai City that had not completely completed their evolution could be the source of the plague, this is very important news, she must notify Shu Zhong in time to reduce the time of activity in Liangtai as much as possible, although so far, no one from the demon clan from the demon world has been infected, but who dares to say that there is no possibility of infection in the future, Hua Tear can't help but secretly rejoice in her heart, she really ran into a treasure by accident, It was so easy to enter the command level of a human cultivator.
Although the cultivation of Tian Songzi, Ye Fanghua and Lin Xingchen is already quite an accomplished figure among human beings, it is nothing to her, unless the three of them join forces, they are no threat to her at all. But Chen Pi she can't see through it, the breath on his body is like a demon but not a demon, like a fairy but not an immortal, and even his true strength she can't see clearly, she just thinks that since Chen Pi can subdue Youlu and Xue Ji, two demon clans with considerable demon power, his strength must be higher than the two of them.
Chen Pi glanced at Youlu, and Youlu, who understood it, smiled and said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, he wants to say something to your sister Xueji, and he doesn't want us to get in the way, let's go swimming with my sister." Although Hua Tear was a little reluctant, she was embarrassed to say that she wanted to stay here, so she had to mumble and go with the trip.
Chen Pi watched the two girls leave the room, then turned his head, Xue Ji sat opposite him with a blushing face, obviously taking what Youlu said seriously, Chen Pi scratched his head, muttered for a moment, and then said, "Xue Ji, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
"What's the rush? How can I help you? Yukihime asked in surprise.
"Yes, you are the only one who can help me now. I need your help. "Tangerine peel is colorful.
"But I really don't know what to help you?" Yukihime replied blankly.
"You heard it in secret, according to the research of disease transmission experts, this plague virus tends to be static when it is minus 50 degrees, that is, if the temperature is below minus 50 degrees, then this virus will not spread, and now it is summer, and the temperature cannot drop below zero under normal circumstances, let alone below minus 50 degrees, so I need the support of your Snow Maiden clan to create this condition for me."
"Huh?" Xue Ji opened her lips slightly in surprise, looked at Chen Pi in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice for a long time, "Big brother, do you mean to ask our Snow Maiden clan to help those awakened and human beings who have ruthlessly hurt us, do you know that for thousands of years, the activity territory of the Snow Maiden clan has retreated from a small remote corner now, how many of our sisters have been swept away by the awakened, forcibly erased their memories and turned into Shikami, and some sisters have been sold to other countries, Become the playthings and ornaments of mankind, they are the enemies of our Snow Maiden clan. ”
Xue Ji paused, and said hatefully: "Now is a good time to weaken their strength, our Snow Maiden clan did not take the opportunity to unite with other demon clans to give them a bigger blow, it is already very undeserved, you still ask us to help them tide over the difficulty, and when they get through the difficulty, is there still a place for our Snow Maiden clan." "Xue Ji really can't understand how Chen Pi, who is a member of the demon clan, would ask her to help the enemy who has hated for thousands of years.
