Isolation, this simple word gave me a little shock, and brought some very bad associations, infectious diseases, plagues, mass combat attrition, etc. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, when I opened my eyes and looked at the soldiers standing guard or patrolling the corridors, and seeing the calm and composed expressions on their faces, I felt as if I was thinking too much.

Sylvia, however, was much more sensitive and stern than I was, and she immediately stopped, turned around, and asked, "How did you get on the heresy before?" The prerogative of the Inquisitor allows you to escape the routine quarantine process? ”

I can understand Sylvia's nervousness, perhaps the people in the navy take this kind of thing seriously, and many of the legends of ghost ships that are passed down among the sailors are the result of the plague that broke out on board. Fortunately, most of the unlucky ships belonged to wandering merchants or pirates, and the navy strictly implemented the ancient quarantine system and good organizational skills, so that even if there was an accident, it could be isolated in time to avoid deterioration, but there were few accidents.

It's just that it's too uncomfortable for the people on the boat, and every time I take the boat, after a rigorous physical examination and decontamination process, I can almost lose two or three kilograms of weight, and most of the day's tossing is more tiring than going through a small-scale low-intensity battle. Being questioned so sharply, Ah Wei didn't show any unhappiness, but said very calmly: "Of course we have gone through quarantine, maybe there is something wrong with the quarantine process itself." Why don't you go to the medical room and see the situation yourself? ”

This answer obviously didn't please Sylvia, but before she could ask any more questions, Avi closed the hatch and shut us out.

So Sylvia carried me in the direction of the infirmary with a grunt, and when there was no one else in the hallway, she put me down.

"Are you okay?" She still didn't have a good face, as if she had transferred her hostility to Ah Wei to me.

I touched my swollen face, and said in my heart that I was almost beaten out by you, but what came out of my mouth was a rhetorical question: "What about you?" ”

"How good can it be, after a long day and a busy night, it is easy to make up my mind to sleep for a while, but I heard that there is a suspected outbreak of plague among my brothers. Father of War, I have been in the army for ten years, and I have only heard of the plague before, and if we don't handle it well, maybe our future will be completely over. Sylvia babbled on and on, her expression revealing an unprecedented depression. However, she didn't seem to care about the inexplicable fight just now, and she didn't show any special antipathy to Ah Wei - yes, for the Fenris, fighting was a daily pastime and entertainment.

"The Katakán have been proven to be the source of infection?"

I don't have anything to say about this question. Sylvia's crew was obviously impossible to carry pathogens, and the navy itself was strict to the point of perversion in the procedures for carrying out quarantine and decontamination. It's also unlikely that the Fenris would have had such a thing as plague in the ice and snow. And Katachan? Why is the vibrant environment of the rainforest considered a dead world? The most important reason is, of course, the variety and ubiquity of deadly germs.

This is not my hearsay, I have experienced it firsthand. For most of the three months I spent in Katachan, I lived in a rudimentary medical tent with one illness or another, and there were more than 100 drugs and vaccines for oral and injectable treatments. The Emperor blessed me to survive at last, and there were many political commissars and bishops who had been sent to Katachan with me, and they had steely bodies and wills tempered by blood and fire, but most of them did not survive even a month under the torture of illness. It may be true that the Fenris are the strongest people in the human race, but the environment is very clean, and the Fenris have never faced the threat of the plague.

Thinking about this, I can't help but wonder if I made a stupid decision. The tradition of the Imperial Defence not to put soldiers from different worlds in the same unit is rational and realistic, and the differences between the worlds are not only in language, customs, and behavior, but even in their physical characteristics. Perhaps the more ancient and powerful traditions of the navy can bend human character and cobble together people from different worlds into one army, but when the differences between races are so great as those of the Katakchans and the Fenris, that is of little use.

Luckily, the Katachans mainly serve in the Imperial Defense Forces, and the Fenris only have a small team of wolf servants who can participate, and the Imperial Navy never has to think about the problem of serving the two together. Unfortunately, this is a difficult problem for us.

I added, "Has it been proven to be a contagious disease?" ”

"There have been several cases of similar symptoms, and we can only think in the worst-case direction." Sylvia said worriedly, "Not only the Fenris, but also the Catachans have fallen ill. ”

The news scared me. Who are the Katakan people? They can eat carrion raw, drink raw sewage, breathe the foul-smelling miasma without worrying about any health problems, and they are more resistant to germs than hyenas and vultures, so they can survive in the disease-ridden world of death. Regardless of the transformed superhumans of the Space Marines, the most resistant to disease among mortals is undoubtedly the Katachans, and if even one of them falls ill, what does that mean?

Maybe it's not a natural disease, but a supernatural force, Nurgle?

The name made me break out in a cold sweat, and I tried to convince myself that the minions of the three evil gods had appeared in yesterday's battle - the sadistic berserker, the noise warrior of Shalis, and the Chaos wizard of Sinliezhi, but it was a very fortunate thing that there was no Plague Warrior of Nurgle. The Plague Warriors are terrifying opponents, not because they are difficult to kill, but because their weapons are more powerful than swords and guns, and they are capable of bringing plagues on a wide scale, deadly, and pervasive, harming lives and health while spreading irresistible panic. Just like now, even if there is no evidence that Nurgle's power has ever appeared, just a few cases of it, fear has spread in our hearts. Emperor forbid, we have just won a brilliant victory, so we will not be so unlucky to encounter such troubles, right? I prayed silently in my heart. When the situation is too bad to deal with with swords and guns, we rely on the Emperor's protection.

"Don't worry so much, those Katakan people don't look anxious at all. Even if the average soldier didn't know the gravity, the inquisitor should know. I reluctantly excused.

"They know everything, but they don't say anything." Sylvia was even more worried, "By the way, did your brother take his nuns with him because he expected this to happen?" Otherwise, with the virtues of those men in the Inquisition, they would have given up such a valuable trophy as a battleship so easily? ”

It must be that you are thinking too much.

However, when I walked to the medical cabin, I felt that the situation might be really serious.

The medical chamber is no longer just the large cabin used for the wounded, many of the adjacent chambers occupy a corridor of nearly 50 meters, and the entire corridor is divided into isolation areas. There are Navy soldiers in full spacesuits, and there are Star Marines in power armor and helmets at both ends of the quarantine area, and the glow on the helmet window brings a solemn atmosphere, as if the war is not far away.

The Space Marines stationed on our side are from the Storm Guardian Warband. Fifty meters away, on the other side, stood two wild wolves, whose identities were marked on the display on my helmet, Role Goso and Dozavier, who had been fighting side by side with me for a long time yesterday, and who never wore their helmets as long as it wasn't in a vacuum. If it weren't for them, these navy soldiers alone wouldn't have been able to stop the excited Fenris at the other end of the quarantine zone.

The situation seems to have reached the brink of its worst.
