Chapter 166: Barbarian Tribe No. 9 (First Update)
The beautiful lake in front of him, and the area of black pressure in the distance, formed a strong contrast, and it would be difficult for Qu Ember to imagine such a situation if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"We're not going to go through there, though, just passing through this Sunset Highway." Listen to Zhang Yuandao again.
Because this sunset highway is the closest, it can't be bypassed.
There is another reason, that is, because of the existence of the No. 9 barbarian tribe, ordinary people do not dare to destroy here, and this highway is extremely intact.
Now they stopped to rest and set off in the afternoon, needing to get around the Savage Tribe 9 in one go.
After getting out of the car, Qu Ember kept his eyes on the area of the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe in front of him.
He had gotten a lot of information about Savage Tribe 9 from the dark web, so he definitely knew a little more about Savage Tribe 9 than the others.
Especially along the way, he also thought about whether there was any way to exchange the Devil Fruit with the people of the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe.
But judging from the information provided by the person on the dark web, the other party needs special items, ordinary things, and the people of the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe are not interested.
Now in Qu Yan's hands, there are no special items, which is also where he finds troublesome.
At this time, the two city guards beside him each released a drone.
It is extremely convenient to use drones to detect the surrounding situation.
However, in broad daylight, there should be no surprises.
Others took out the utensils, as well as various ingredients, and began to cook. Still others take oil from the tanks on the big trucks and fill each car with oil.
Interestingly, at this time, Qu Shen noticed that the spirit of the big man seemed to be a little abnormal.
He guessed that the other party should have been sprayed with black goo by the long-haired man's head after his head burst open, which caused him to become like this.
The long-haired man was clearly a suicide bomber who had released some kind of virus by committing suicide.
According to the characteristics, Qu Ember felt that the other party released the R virus.
The virus is contagious, the infected person's brain is burned off, and the brain grows some kind of bacteria that can drive people crazy.
Then by blowing up the head, the bacteria are released.
As long as a certain amount of this bacteria is inhaled, the average person will go crazy.
A vaccine for this virus is currently being studied, and there are some clinical trials, but the results are not very good because of the virulent and rapidly contagious nature of the R virus.
Even some of the largest biotech companies don't have any obvious research results.
What's even more troubling is that the R virus is spreading rapidly and is now appearing more and more widely, so it is imperative or even urgent to develop a vaccine.
Unexpectedly, even the genetic warriors were infected, which is enough to see the horror of this R type virus.
In addition, Qu Ember also thought that the long-haired man carrying the R virus was coming for the big guy, right?
Looking at the big man who didn't look very good, he felt more and more that there was such a possibility.
Qu Yan heard Zhang Dongdong say that that the big man was completely immune to spiritual power, and the other party was a person with a special ability of pure flesh type.
The R type virus, which is a bacterium that specifically targets the flesh, is most likely used to deal with this large man.
Even if it can't make him crazy, it can pollute the other party's body and make the big man lose his strength.
After retracting his gaze, he put his hand in his pocket and sensed the two-headed dog and the direction and distance of the man who had left the cigarette butt.
With a mere 100 energy points, he can still afford to consume it.
Soon Qu Ember sensed that the other party's direction had indeed changed, and it was now in front of them, which should be a certain location they would pass through in the afternoon.
Now it seems that the other party has really set a trap.
He had to remind the young man surnamed Ji about this matter.
So Qu Ember walked towards the other party.
Seeing him coming, the young man surnamed Ji looked up at him, revealing a suspicious look.
When he came to his approach, he only listened to Qu Shen and said, "Have you found out who did it to us last night?" ”
"You don't have to worry about these things, you just need to do your job." The young man surnamed Ji said.
Feeling the other party's attitude, Qu Shen squinted at him.
The surnamed Ji also looked at him, and a subtle atmosphere seemed to form between the two.
In the end, it was Qu Ember who broke the atmosphere, "They will still do it, you should know this, now I tell you, they are ahead." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Looking at his back, the surnamed Ji thought for a while, and then asked, "Where are they?" ”
Although he didn't know how Qu Ember knew those people in front of him, Qu Ember shouldn't be targeted for no reason.
"I don't know." Qu Ember didn't look back and dropped three words.
Since the other party is so arrogant, of course he won't say anything.
This time, he carried out the task on behalf of Moonlight City, and since the surname Ji is the leader, then he just needs to do a good job of reminding the other party, but he doesn't want to put a hot face on his cold ass.
"I'll go ahead and have a look."
When they came to Captain Qin and Zhang Dongdong's side, Qu Shen said hello to them, and then left alone.
"Wait a minute, I'll go too."
Zhang Dongdong also seemed to want to take a look, and after finishing speaking, he kept up with Qu Yan's pace.
Qu Ember glanced at him, and then the two of them walked silently along the highway by the lake.
"The scenery here is truly stunning."
Zhang Dongdong sighed.
At the same time, he also took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the scenery that he thought was beautiful.
"It's very good." As he spoke, Qu Ember looked at the sparkling lake beside him.
Of course, it would be perfect if there was no dark area directly in front of you.
"Here, take a picture of me."
Zhang Dongdong handed Qu Shen his phone and asked him to help take a photo.
Qu Yan did not refuse, and after taking his mobile phone, he took a few photos of Zhang Dongdong.
And Zhang Dongdong's tourist photos are still very standard, with one leg on the guardrail and his hands on his waist.
Or with your hands on your chest, you raise your head proudly and stare at the camera with your two nostrils.
There is also a turn around, first throw the windbreaker back, and when the windbreaker flies up, let Qu Ember capture a chic back for him.
"Would you like to take two shots?"
After Zhang Dongdong took the mobile phone, he asked Qu Ember while watching the effect that Qu Ember took for him.
"I won't." Qu Ember shook his head.
Still, he took out his phone and looked at it.
But his purpose was to see if Miss Yan had replied to his text messages, but the result was still no.
It seems that Miss Yan has really changed her temper, which makes Qu Yan start to wonder what the other party's purpose is.
If the genders were reversed, he would still understand.
But this kind of thing shouldn't happen to Miss Yan.
"Have you heard of that place?"
As he walked forward, Zhang Dongdong looked at the No. 9 barbarian tribe in front of him and asked.
Qu Ember nodded, "I heard, it seems that that there are Devil Fruits in that place." ”
"Huh!" Zhang Dongdong was surprised, "You've actually heard of the Devil Fruit?" ”
He had only heard these four words in Venus City two days ago, and he didn't know much about Devil Fruits.
"You've heard of it too?" Qu Shen asked rhetorically.
Maybe he can get some other information from Zhang Dongdong.
"It is said that this thing can make ordinary people become mutants, and I don't know if it's true or not." Speaking of this, Zhang Dongdong's tone was still full of surprise.
"What else?"
"I don't know." Zhang Dongdong shook his head.
Qu Yan retracted his gaze in disappointment, because he was thinking too much.
"There should be a blockade of Venus City in that place." At this time, Qu Ember looked at the No. 9 barbarian tribe in front of him again.
"Yes, in order to prevent ordinary people from entering, and at the same time, we must also guard against the mutations inside. There was a large-scale mutation event here, and a large group of mutations that poured out from the No. 9 barbarian tribe all rushed into Venus City, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties, and that matter has not completely subsided until now. ”
Qu Ember also knew about this matter, and he also saw a lot of relevant information on the dark web.
The two of them walked a distance, and found that they were still very far away from the dark area in front of them.
"Let's go, go back to dinner."
After Zhang Dongdong took a few more landscape photos, he felt bored, so he wanted to go home.
Qu Ember originally wanted to see if he could use the method of that person on the dark web to find out if there were any people from the No. 9 barbarian tribe around, and then find a way to exchange a Devil Fruit from their hands.
But Zhang Dongdong was by his side, and in addition, there were a large group of city guards behind him, and it was daylight, so it was not convenient for him to move around.
So he walked back with Zhang Dongdong.
[You have a new mission: Go to the No. 9 Savage Tribe and pick a Devil Fruit.] 】
Just then, a new task was released.
Qu Ember was stunned for a moment, and then continued to walk forward.
The No. 9 barbarian tribe is the lair of mutations, how could he go to that place.
So for this task, Qu Ember will not care.
Fortunately, the system tasks are not mandatory, and even if he does not complete them, there will be no punishment.
After returning to the camp, Qu Shen saw that the person surnamed Ji was talking on the phone by the lake, pacing back and forth while calling, and his face was a little solemn.
When he hung up the phone, he walked towards the crowd and said aloud: "Hurry up, everyone, we hurry up in the afternoon, for soon a rainstorm will come, and we must rush to the camp in the evening." ”
Hearing his order, all the city guards immediately sped up their movements.
In less than half an hour, a simple lunch was ready. Everyone took the bowls and ate quickly, and before they even had time to wash them, they put all their things on the transport truck.
Then under the leadership of the first car, the convoy set off.
The rest of the journey was on the highway, so their speed was perfectly lifted.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Qu Ember suddenly noticed that in the direction of the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe in front of him, there was a long black shadow in the sky, which was heading towards the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe at an alarming speed.
And that black shadow in the shape of a long strip is no stranger to him.
It is not much different from the missile that bombarded the Moonlight Hospital last time.
Not only him, but Zhang Yuan, who was driving, and Captain Qin and Zhang Dongdong in the rear all saw it, and the faces of the three of them were full of incredulity.
Because of the distance, the missile felt silent.
Quietly, he disappeared into the black area that enveloped the No. 9 barbarian tribe.
The strange thing is that after a long time, none of the No. 9 barbarian tribes in front of them made any movement, and they did not hear the loud noise after the missile exploded.
But at this moment, Qu Ember clearly felt that the sky suddenly lost its brightness just now, and it seemed to become dark in an instant.
And this gloom seems to be influenced by the black area where the No. 9 barbarian tribe is located in front.
The black area trembled, and the surrounding area of more than ten kilometers was rendered.
At this moment, the walkie-talkie of the head car rang, and the voice of a young man surnamed Ji came from inside.
"The lead car sped up."
Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Yuan did not hesitate, and stepped on the accelerator with one foot.
He needs to be some distance ahead of the car behind him to find out the road conditions before the big truck behind can pass directly.
Qu Ember frowned, if his expectations were correct, someone should be attacking the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe.
But the purpose of those people was not necessarily the Barbarian Tribe's 9th Tribe, but their convoy.
Because attacking the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe will inevitably cause some unexpected consequences, such as the appearance of a mutation in the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe.
Their convoys were so close that they would suffer the brunt.
The plan surnamed Ji should be to speed up the departure of this area and not let the other party's plan succeed.
But doing so is a huge risk, and it's a race against the mutation.
Sure enough, the next moment he saw that the sky above his head was getting darker and darker, and a depressing aura was also brewing invisibly.
I don't know if it's due to the influence of the dark area of the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe, and the rainstorm is about to fall early.
