"You're back? How's that person, it's okay alright? Pude Tongling has been waiting for Henry and Zhuge Xun in the living room.

"It's dead......" Henry regretted to announce the results.

"Dead?" Ling and Pude both thought they had misheard.

"Yes."

"I have something to say to Mr. Budde about this. Let the other servants go down. Zhuge Xun's determined expression made Pude feel that things were not as simple as he thought.

Then let the rest of the room retreat, leaving only Pud, Henry, Ling, and Zhuge Xun.

"Now it's okay."

Zhuge Xun took out a small glass bottle from his pocket and put it in front of everyone. "Remember that, right?"

"What is this?"

"That bug that was taken out of Ellis's body? Called a sound-eating bug? Henry remembered that little Ellis couldn't speak because of this bug, why did Zhuge Xun take it out now?

"I also said that the reason why Ellis still has a chance to speak is also because this bug is 'hibernating' If it weren't for that, little Ellis would have died long ago. There is only one creature that can hibernate this bug! That is, its natural predator, the insect will 'hibernate' out of fear only when the natural predator appears near it, and its natural enemy is a creature called a 'sandfly'. ”

"Sandflies? Haven't heard of this creature...... What does it look like, and does it have anything to do with this incident? Pudd asked.

"Sandflies, that is, white moths, similar in appearance to butterflies, were a harmful creature in previous times, but its damage was limited to crops and small livestock. The phosphorus powder it carries can reduce the yield of crops a lot, and its larvae live in the animal's body, and after a certain period of time, they will leave the host, which is very similar to the sound phagosome, but the sound eater will kill the host, but the sandfly will not.

However, due to changes in the world environment, sandflies became extinct a hundred years ago, so people don't care about its existence nowadays. Until the last time, when little Ellis found a 'hibernating' sound-eating insect in his body, I had a premonition that the sandfly had reappeared in this world, at least in the second circle, and there was a 'flora and fauna' garden that was most suitable for its survival. ”

"So what does that mean? It's just that sandflies have appeared again in the second circle. We can find its nest and kill it all. Henry disagreed.

"Mr. Henry, you saw the man who dissected it, and his abdominal cavity was white. This is only the case when it is parasitized by sandflies, but it used to appear on animals, and if the abdominal cavity is opened, all the larvae of sandflies that have not grown inside will die inside. But the man we dissected had nothing in his stomach. I still don't understand this, but what is certain is that there are sandflies in the second circle, and the current sandflies can parasitize in the human body. ”

"What does Mr. Zhuge mean?!" Pudd got up from his chair, as if he had thought of something.

"Well, what Mr. Budd had in mind is what I'm going to say next. Because there have been rumors that 'the second circle will be attacked', I am worried about whether the sandflies that appear in the second circle now will be deliberately placed in the second circle. If that's the case, I'm afraid that at least a third of the people in the second circle must have been infected with sandflies by now! When I dissected the person, I noticed that all aspects of the infected person's body weakened very quickly, so they became a 'dry corpse', and according to the results of the autopsy, the time from being infected to the death of the infected person was about five days. Now that we know that the infected people have died, I don't have a way to get more information about this, so it's a difficult problem to solve it. Next, I need the cooperation of Pude and all the forces in the second circle, the second circle has the most advanced medical treatment, and the rules of life, so I hope to do a physical examination for all the people in the second circle! No one else has been infected. Zhuge Xun was waiting for Pude's answer.

"How can Kaoru be sure it must be a sandfly? Didn't you see the larvae of sandflies when you dissected them? ”

"This reason is still under investigation. However, the symptoms are similar to those of sandflies. Now that we are in the midst of a crisis in the second circle, shouldn't we take any possible precautions? ”

"And how do sandflies infect people?"

"In the past, I laid my eggs on things that animals would eat, but I used the unique aroma of my phosphor powder to tempt the host to eat them. But the infection between people, I don't know yet. Let's do a good job of disinfection first, and when you come home from outside, disinfect your whole body, and pay attention to the quality of the air. The 'botanical and botanical' garden in the second circle can be said to be a natural purifier, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

What is most needed now is the prevention of the second circle! The 'Lord' that the two-faced man said before he died during the last turmoil will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and besides, this incident may also be part of his plan, if so, we are in danger. Zhuge Xun's expression was terrifyingly serious.

"It just so happens that I will also go back to the Central Management Office, and then I will call someone to prepare, and please let Mr. Zhuge inform us in time if he finds anything." Henry simply took it in and went back to deal with the matter that Zhuge Xun confessed, but he didn't expect the death of a servant to lead to such a thing, if it wasn't for Zhuge Xun's timely discovery, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"Thank you so much for this incident." Pude just put down the phone and looked back to see Zhuge Xun sitting on the sofa thinking about things.

"I'm back, this time, I told Morley, he said that the Central Circle is on guard throughout the whole process, and everyone is not allowed to leave the Central Circle without permission, because the three alien embryo samples in the Central Circle laboratory are missing. It hasn't been found yet, but the only people who can enter the lab and steal samples are 'insiders', so the Central Circle has now sealed any information from the outside world.

Also, what Kaoru handed me, I've given to Ilian, and she's analyzing. However, because the sample is missing, her work is not easy to do now. I'm afraid it will take a while to wait for the results to come out. Ling took the water that Pud had handed her.

"What's wrong Kaoru?" Ling noticed Zhuge Xun's expression.

"Why am I so upset, I always feel like I've forgotten something important." Zhuge Xun quickly filtered through what had happened today in his mind, trying to find out what was uneasy about him.

"Kaoru!? It's okay. Pude patted Zhuge Xun on the shoulder, telling him not to worry too much.

"Well, I hope so." Zhuge Xun rubbed his brows, he was too nervous. The second lap is not like the third lap, the second lap is a 'peach source', and the second lap under Pude's management will not be broken because of this little thing. I hope it's just that I'm more mindful.

"By the way, Pudde, what I just told you, you ordered to go down, right?"

"Well, I've already called, and now the 'Zotanical and Botanical' garden is closed and closed to the general public. And I also sent people to a carpet search to see if I could find the habitat of sandflies. "The phone call just now was to explain the matter to the animal and plant staff. According to Zhuge Xun, sandflies are likely to emerge from the 'deep forest area'.

"Oh, I'm too nervous, I'm going for a walk."

"I'll go with you, I'm still more familiar with the second circle than you." Ling gets dressed.

"Okay, by the way, I don't know if it will work yet, but I think it's better to be cautious." Zhuge Xun took out a stack of cut paper figures from his bag, and used a piece of his long hair to pass the paper figure through the position of the heart, put the paper figure in the palm of his hand, and chanted what seemed to be a spell in his mouth, only to see the paper man himself fly out of Kaoru's hand and disappear into the room.

"What is this?" Pude didn't understand Zhuge Xun's intentions.

"It's uncertain if there are any other infected in this mansion, so I've opened a barrier around this mansion to keep any creatures from entering. If the barrier is broken, I'll know too. Of course, during this period, Mr. Budde was required to conduct a thorough physical examination of all the people living in the house. If you notice someone with a high fever, take them out of the room immediately. Please notify me immediately.

Now we can only wait for the results of Miss Elian's analysis to come back to determine the specific symptoms of the infected person. "Previously, Zhuge Xun brought back a small specimen from the dried corpse for Ling to bring to Pude's daughter Elian, who was researching in the Central Circle, so that she could find out the infectious agent this time.

"However, can't Mr. Zhuge make an enchantment in the entire second circle?" Pudd asked.

"Not right now. Because if there are really other infected people in the second circle, the establishment of the barrier is like locking the patient in a sealed space with ordinary people, which will increase the death. Also, the area of the second circle is also outside the range of the barrier I have established, so if it weren't for the limited strength, it might be okay. ”

One-third of Zhuge Xun's current ability is sealed. It's because of the silver bullet in the heart that was previously shot into by a vampire hunter.

"That's right." Pude thought that what Zhuge Xun said was not unreasonable, so he didn't continue to ask. "If you want to go out, drive my car. If Henry's side gives an order, your movement will also be restricted, and it will be easier for you to drive my car. Pud tossed the key to Ling.

"Hmm. That's for the best. If there's any news from Arian and Morley, we'll be in touch. Ling took the key and left the hall with Zhuge Xun.

"Ling, let's go to the Botanical and Botanical Garden first." Zhuge Xun said to Ling who was in the driver's seat.

"There's nothing else you have to say." Ling started the car.

“…… Nor is it ...... It's just that I'm not sure of it myself, and I'm afraid it will cause a misunderstanding of Pude. ”

Sure enough, the lockdown order of Henry and the government of the second circle has reached the second circle, and the medical office of the second circle has focused on many people waiting for inspection, and at the same time, the unified 'laundry office' of the second circle has begun to change the clothes of every person in the second circle, and all supermarkets have done security checks on the food sold.

"We're here." Ling parked her car at the entrance of the Botanical and Botanical Garden. "If you want to get in, you'll need to take the private car, so we'll get off here."

"Oh."

Botanical and Botanical Gardens:

"I'm sorry, according to the order from above, from now on the flora and fauna are completely closed. No one is allowed to enter. The guards at the gate of the garden stopped Ling and Zhuge Xun.

"I'm ......," Ling Gang wanted to explain.

"It's ZERO, it's okay, Mr. Henry asked him to come. He can enter. The senior supervisor of the park motioned for the guards to let Ling enter the park.

"It's Paul, you're just in time." Hearing the words, Ling saw that it was Paul, the top manager of the Botanical and Botanical Garden. Paul, Pude's most powerful subordinate in the past, was invited to the Hunters' Guild by himself. Since the second circle belonged to Pudde, Paul has been in charge of the 'Zoological and Botanical' garden.

"Pudder told me that if you two come to me, let me accompany them all the time. This must be Mr. Zhuge Xun, I am Paul, the manager here. Paul introduced himself to Zhuge Xun, who was standing beside Ling.

"Hello. We would like to go to the 'Deep Forest Zone', so please lead the way. ”

"Well, wait until I'm going to drive."

After Paul left, Zhuge Xun took a small paper figure from his bosom, wrote his name on it, and handed it to Ling. "Take him with you, and if we get separated, you blow on the paper man, and it will come back to me, and we will find each other."

Ling put away the paper man. "What is Kaoru suspicious?"

"I'm just ......"

"I've kept you waiting. We can go now. Paul poked his head out of the car and said to Ling and Zhuge Xun who were standing on the side.

Zhuge Xun noticed that the car in the Botanical and Botanical Garden is a bit similar to the 'passenger car' outside, except for the chassis, the entire body is made of glass, which is very conducive to tourists' visits. Ling and Zhuge Xun got into the car one after another.

"There were antibacterial suits on board. There was no way to drive in the deep forest area, so we had to hike, because of the 'infection', so I specially prepared. Paul said as he drove.

"Where did Mr. Paul know about the 'infection'?" Zhuge Xun asked.

"Haha, don't worry, 'infection' is that some of our senior managers know that for the general public, we are just talking about routine annual health checks. It happens that the national health check-up is held about a month later every year, so there is no anxiety among the people. Paul knew Zhuge Xun's concerns. If it causes panic among the population, it will not do much to make things progress.

"It's for the best."

"We're going through the 'shallow forest area' for half an hour, and we'll be able to reach the 'deep forest area' and the 'wild area', after which we'll get off." Paul reminded Ling and Zhuge Xun.

"Hmm."
