Chapter 450: Crimson

"You three...... Go to the Quarantine East Zone and report to the [Prisra Knight], and the knight will lead you deep into the quarantine zone to eliminate the plague.

This Red Plague event is extremely potentially dangerous, and no one is allowed to leave the team without permission and must not do anything superfluous.

Once you are infected with the Red Plague, you will also be quarantined.

Although it is said to be a 'plague', the actual number of infections goes beyond the scope of ordinary plagues.

So far, there have been three cases of trainee knights being infected and dying, so you must not be careless, everything is subject to the knight's arrangement. ”

"Yes!"

Han Dong and Mia, as well as a mysterious apprentice who was only more than one meter four tall and had a cute appearance, were grouped together.

Apparently, the apprentice was frightened by the teacher's stern admonition, and his eyes shone with a not-so-resolute glow.

Together, the trio ride to the quarantine area in an undead carriage provided by the cemetery's steward.

"Hello senior, my name is Flora. Shelley! Specializing in sutures, this year's sophomore ...... I'll help as much as I can! Excuse me, are you Mia-senpai? ”

"Yes...... What's wrong? ”

Mia was disgusted by this kind of elementary school girl who might not be able to help and would definitely rob her man.

"Wow! You're really Mia-senpai, the chief witch apprentice! ”

"Huh? Mia, are you so famous now? Han Dong deliberately quipped.

Mia's hand was drawing circles on Han Dong's chest as she whispered:

"Oops...... Witch she always likes to do some meaningless competitions in the witch school, and in the witchcraft competition not long ago, people accidentally took the first place.

What's the use, though, it's not like you. ”

Such a sentence made Flora Elementary School, who was sitting opposite, puzzled.

She had never heard of a senior in particular, and she had no impression of this senior who looked 'frail and sickly', and she had never even seen it in the mysterious department.

But the chief witch senpai showed a strong 'sense of dependence' on the senior.

"Senior, are you?"

"Just call me Nicholas."

"Oh......"

Flora hadn't heard the name before, but she became more and more curious about the mysterious senior.

Soon.

The carriage came to the designated area.

In charge of leading Han Dong and the three of them is a formal knight who also graduated from the mystery department.

Prisra who belongs to the Knights of Doom. Cecil Knight.

Two years ago, Prisra was selected into the Knights of Doom in a normal position, although it was not particularly good, but it was also an official knight who broke the race and surpassed Han Dong and them.

It may be because the knights born in the occult are more 'weird'.

At least in terms of dress, the knight in metal armor is very different from the impression.

Knight Prisra wears a gray robe with occasional dark streamers,

Wrapped in a strange white turban,

Dark brown hair spills out of the gaps in the turban like kelp and scatters over the shoulders.

He has a lot of freckles on his face, but he has a pair of special emerald green eyes.

You can feel a strong curse aura on this graduating sister, and it seems that she specializes in a curse science that is extremely lethal, but it will also have a counter-devouring effect on herself.

"Here's a copy of the Red Plague that you can read in 10 minutes...... We will go deep into the infected area in fifteen minutes.

If it weren't for the sheer number of infected people, the Order wouldn't be able to afford it, and it wouldn't have left you newcomers to deal with such a dangerous event.

Don't die...... You still have big goals to achieve. ”

But judging from this sentence, it shows that the female knight still has a good heart.

When Han Dong took over the document, he immediately entered a state of concentrated reading.

"Red Plague"

Route-of-transmission:

●Transmission from body fluids (mainly blood-borne)

When more than 10ml of infected blood enters another person's body, the infection rate is as high as 100%.

●Transarthropod transmission (vectors of crimson blood insects (insects, flies, fleas, lice, etc., spider ticks and mites) born in infected individuals)

The worm will multiply rapidly by sucking blood, and once it enters the human body, the infection rate is as high as 100%.

It cannot be spread in the air (droplets and dust are ineffective) and in water (diluted blood is not infectious).

Symptoms of infection (in three stages):

(1). In the early stage of infection (the first stage), the myocardial ability of the infected person is enhanced, the oxygen storage capacity of red blood cells is improved, and the self-recovery ability is enhanced.

Not only do patients not have any discomfort symptoms, but they will even show unprecedented liveliness and energy, and even some existing diseases and old injuries will be recovered in the process.

This state lasts for about 12 hours.

Until the "red plague" is fully transported to the brain through the bloodstream, it will enter the second stage.

(2). The "Red Plague" that spreads throughout the body begins to consume normal blood.

Without affecting cognitive ability, the brain is induced to produce a strong demand for blood (forced toleration will lead to a collapse of consciousness and indiscriminate eating).

At this stage, the infected person will become intensely aggressive, trying to attack others and suck blood.

At the same time, they will inject their own blood into the prey, prompting the creation of new infected.

Special instructions (recognition method): In the induction of the brain, it will inevitably affect the hypothalamus motor auxiliary area, thereby stimulating the individual to have a 'foolish laugh', and the individual in the second stage will be unable to suppress laughter.

(3). When the concentration of "Red Plague" in the body reaches 30%, it will enter the third stage.

Induce the hypothalamus to secrete growth hormone-releasing hormone, so that the secretion of growth hormone is 20 times that of normal people.

The red plague in the body will regulate the activation of growth hormone on cells and carry out [proliferation].

The hyperplasia at this stage varies depending on the type of infection.

[Pure blood infection hyperplasia]: The individual will derive more limbs in response to the increase in growth hormone.

It usually manifests as the growth of hands and feet, and rarely the development of wings or strange keratinized structures.

Individuals in this state exhibit stronger symptoms of 'laughing', even tearing the corners of their mouths due to maniacal laughter.

[Arthropod infection proliferation]: Growth hormone will be used as a 'nourishment' to catalyze the growth of "deep red blood worms" in the body.

When the insect matures, the individual will be completely incapacitated and fixed by the proliferation of mucocutaneous tissue and the surrounding environment, becoming a living nest.

After feeding on the blood of other living organisms, the crimson blood worm will feed the individual with the remaining blood to ensure the vitality of the hive.

Similarly, the 'laughing' symptom will not be relieved by turning into a hive, and will still laugh even if the human form is completely lost.
