Chapter 368: The Plague
After five days of hard work, the church finally finished distributing the relief materials that had been transported thousands of miles away. How much can a giant freighter carry? Just thinking about the containers that he has seen in the past few days being emptied little by little, Cesar has a kind of shock of ants eating elephants. It's a pity that this mountain-like material is still a drop in the bucket when it is put in front of this rainforest.
In this disaster relief, the only people that the church can contact are the marginal areas of the rainforest, those small tribes who are weak and have no status. Walking deeper into the rainforest, there are all large tribes that have mastered the veins of the advanced world, the weaker ones have secondary gods, and the stronger ones even have more than one true god.
These large tribes are the main force in the fight against the plague in the rainforest, and they do not need outside support or contact with the outside world. For countless years, the Rezhou rainforest has been a closed and independent circle, and everything that happens in it is isolated from the outside world and does not affect each other.
After dealing with the disaster relief matters, Gordon gave the group two hours to pack their equipment, then hurriedly said goodbye to the church members and stepped into the depths of the rainforest. This is the essence of this mission, to gather information about the plague and assess the level of the disaster.
Entering the rainforest, Gordon is at the forefront, responsible for discerning the direction and avoiding danger. And further in front of Gordon, there seems to be a female scout? What does it look like, what is its name? Cesar suddenly realizes that he can't remember it anymore! Well, it seems that he met him at breakfast? Hey, what a person who doesn't have a sense of zài!
Behind Gordon are two investigators from the church, one behind the other, protecting Dr. Harunaki, who has little combat power. Further back, there were Blackwater and Robert, two outsiders who had blended into the big army. Muscle bodyguards follow Blackwater's side to protect the bird reporter. Cesar walked behind them, with a black cat on his head, talking and laughing with Rita. It's like stepping into the green, and you can't see the slightest nervousness.
At the end of the line, there are John and Nini, a pair of uncles and nephews. After a few days of contact, Cesar knew that John was an old mercenary with average strength but experience. Gordon hired him because he liked the black cat's rich experience in surviving in the wild. As for Nini, it's purely a giveaway for soy sauce. The strength is stuck in the lower position, and it has only been advanced for a short time, and it is a little reluctant to protect itself in the plague-ridden rainforest. Fortunately, the church's goal this time is only to investigate, and there is no need for high-intensity battles, and since it has already brought such a burden as reporters and market investigators, it doesn't care about one more waste wood kitten.
At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had already entered the lush rainforest area, and the layers of plants above their heads blocked the sunlight tightly, and could only cast sporadic spots of light. The air is hot and humid. It's like a steamer. There was no dirt under your feet, it was all layers of dead branches and rotting leaves, and there were an unimaginable number of poisonous insects and ants hidden inside. Just by stepping on it, you can surprise countless poisonous insects of different shapes.
The team was trekking hard, but Cesar, with a pair of clogs on his feet, was not in the slightest. With Rita, the perfect maid, by his side, an invisible force field with a range of two meters enveloped Cesar at all times, leaving him isolated from the world. This is the domain ability of the maid sister.
Whenever Cesar took a step, he stepped on a dead branch that was not on the ground. Rather, it is a transparent barrier created by Rita compressing the air. At Cesar's side, Rita first wrapped him in an invisible stance. Then open the field of gravity on the periphery of the position. Whenever a mosquito flies to Cesar, it will 'pop' and explode into a slurry under the action of the gravitational field. Even if an infected super mosquito breaks through the gravity field, it will be frozen by the position of Cesar's side, and then killed by Rita quietly. In addition, the maid sister also adjusted the temperature in the realm according to Cesar's preferences. Control the air circulation, change the humidity, and create a small environment that makes people feel more comfortable.
Seeing the emperor-level luxury treatment enjoyed by Cesar, the little cat Nini showed envy, and the few people in front of her were also secretly speechless. Both shocked by Rita's strong strength and control. I also sighed, how could I enjoy such treatment?
The level of harm is also hierarchical, and the biggest watershed is the field. The so-called domain is the product of the reverse erosion of the world after its own ability is raised to the limit, changing the rules of the outside world, and making it more suitable for itself. Anyone who has the ability of the domain is the top level of the realm.
Rita's 'Force Field Domain' is a mutated product of the Soul Fire Burning Gravity Generator, and it is not something that has been honed little by little by the ability, so it is suspected of cheating. But this can't negate her strength, and now the maid sister is at full strength, not weaker than any top hazard level.
"It's really an exaggeration, I actually let a victim do a humanoid air conditioner. And the evil level still showed a happy and satisfied look. The crow Blackwater flew onto Robert's shoulder and whispered.
"See those dead mosquitoes?" said Robert, "what a terrifying power, that maid has at least three powers. Combining that special force field and gravity control, she also mastered the magic of the wind element, and was able to condense the wind into a needle to accurately kill flying insects. In addition, she can use the fire elemental to easily incinerate the corpses of flying insects. ”
"Tsk, Hisahara's family must be very rich, this kind of maid powerhouse must have been cultivated since childhood, otherwise how could he serve others willingly?
......
Within two hours of entering the rainforest, the Warmth Squad encountered four large-scale beast attacks, in addition to a series of small attacks. Because it is still on the periphery of the rainforest, the plague infection here is not strict, and the creature's own essence is not high, so it can be easily solved by a few people in the front row.
During this period, Cesar also collected many corpses of creatures in an attempt to analyze the secrets of the plague.
He injected the demonic virus from his body into the corpse, trying to stimulate the plagues, causing some reactions. But the result was strange, he could feel a large number of invisible, extremely active and infectious small things in the insect corpses. But they are smaller in size than viruses, and after encountering the demonic virus, the two seem to be two completely different substances from two different worlds, which can be lightly fused, but they do not interfere with each other and operate separately.
"How's it going? With Rita's realm cut off, the outside world can't hear anything, and she's not worried about exposing anything.
"The plague here is unlike anything I've ever seen. I've never seen such a tiny source of infection. Cesar frowned and said with difficulty, "It is very difficult for any creature infected by this plague to be invaded by other viruses. My demonic virus doesn't work against these creatures. ”
"What? your virus is a mixture of 'filth' stuff, and I've never heard of anything that filth and malice can't infect!" Camilla exclaimed.
The virus of Cesar is a weakened version of the filth and malice of hell. The filth of hell is a taboo, unless it is strong enough to resist, it will transform into a monster once it is contaminated. Now there is a plague that is more ferocious than filth and malice, and Camilla will not believe it in any way.
"It can't be compared to filth. My virus is a knockoff, and the level is low, not as good as this plague. If the guess is correct, the monsters infected by the filth will not be affected by this plague. The two seem to be on the same level, but that's not the point, this plague is completely beyond my comprehension, not at all like what nature should be. In Earthling, this thing should be nanoscale, or even finer, picometer. ”
Cesar's face was not very good-looking. Originally, he was still interested in researching this new plague to see if he could broaden his thinking and take the demonic virus to the next level. It turned out to be the complete opposite, the plague and the virus were two completely different things, and although the effect was similar, it was incompatible with his virus.
Not only that, but this plague also has the effect of restraining the virus. Normally, Cesar injected the virus into the living organism, which quickly became infected and multiplied, transforming a zombie. When not needed, the virus can also be extracted and integrated into the body in case of emergency. However, the creatures infected by this plague will no longer react with the virus at all, and the series of attack methods derived from the demonized virus will all fail.
Although it was not as full of restraint as Haiyan, the plague was also disgusting to Western Sahar.
"Could it be that this plague is really one of the nine plagues?" Camilla guessed.
"How is it possible? The Demon Calamity was able to be discharged into the Nine Calamities, not because of its terrifying contagiousness, but because of the source of the filth of hell. As long as hell remains, the filth will flow into Ceylon and will never stop and will never be lifted. Only this kind of catastrophe that involves the root of the world can be ranked into the nine plagues. The plague in Rezhou is likely to be man-made. The source of this infection is not a natural occurrence, but a deliberate creation!" Cesar deduced.
"Why do you say that?" asked Camilla, unconvinced.
"Whether it is a virus or bacteria in nature, or my demonic virus, it will evolve all kinds of unpredictable mutations according to the changes in the environment, temperature, and host. If you think about the zombies I make, each one is strange and unique. But the creatures infected by this plague are all the same. This source of infection seems to be a complete transformation of the structure of living things from the most basic level. Looking at the insects with black and green spots on their bodies, Cesara analyzed.
There are two types of infected organisms he has collected. One is dark spots on the body surface, and the other is green spots. The plague in the bodies of both organisms is exactly the same, and the difference arises only because of their different qualities.
For example, human beings can be divided into ordinary people and those with abilities, mortals will form this kind of black spot when they are infected, and those with ability will form green spots. If you have a talent with bloodline, there may be other changes. (To be continued......)
PS: I heard that it costs money to like it, so don't order it anymore. From zero to thirteen, the wounded heart has been comforted, and the sprinkler family is satisfied.
