Chapter 24: The Spreading Virus
The good news is that the wandering merchant who was confined in that small area is still here, standing there obediently, looking at his alpacas.
Fang Yuan stepped forward and found the previous trading option.
"Five for mushrooms!" Fang Yuan threw out five emeralds.
"Jungle saplings for four!" He threw out twenty emeralds.
"Watermelon seeds for five!" Five more emeralds left him.
"Oh! There are no dripping stone picks, but there are magma barrels! Fang Yuan was pleasantly surprised to see the most expensive barrel worth 16 emeralds, "All for it!" ”
He still had 58 emeralds in his hand, just enough to exchange for three magma buckets.
Fang Yuan ran to the villagers like crazy, and used the compost bucket in his hand to successfully turn another villager into a farmer, and exchanged all the crops in his hand for 12 emeralds, which was the limit of the wandering merchant's disappearance, and exchanged the last bucket of magma!
"Whew!" He let out a sigh of relief, looked at the thing in his hand and the two alpacas in the distance who were still staring at each other, and smiled with relief.
"That's it...... Let's do it first! Fang Yuan smiled with some relief, the moment the wandering merchant disappeared just now, he even felt that his head was a little deprived of oxygen, but fortunately, most of the things had been completed, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.
He placed the exchanged items next to the two villagers' positions, where he placed a small wooden box.
When he's free tomorrow, he'll come over and clean up the place so he can take the next step.
Fang Yuan only felt that his great wish was over, his heart was comfortable, and he fell on the bed, without even closing the door, and had already fallen asleep slowly.
It was getting late, and a few phantom wings were flying in the sky a little unwillingly, but this time, they didn't even have a reason to fall.
The night passed peacefully.
"Hmm!" With the sound of the alpaca getting up a little excitedly, Fang Yuan walked out of the room, the good news is that it is not raining today, although the rainy day will not affect his actions, but it is always good to be able to make himself feel better.
It's a pity that just as he was about to continue his activities, he saw two people standing on the empty island platform like this, quite in a dilemma.
Fang Yuan's eyes froze, and he saw the people who came clearly, one of them was Robert, whose black skin was particularly conspicuous in the Sky Island, and the other was a white man, but he couldn't see it very clearly, it should be a night demon transformer he didn't know.
The reason why they were stuck here, after all, was Fang Yuan's reason, he put the portal next to the hut, and as a result, the two alpacas seemed to be very territorial and sprayed wildly at the door.
The position of this spray is very good, just the range of them walking out after entering the portal, and as soon as it is stuck, the two of them can only be embarrassed at the door, unable to move.
Fang Yuan put it like this, mainly to facilitate his own access, but now it has become an obstacle for others to come over, and it is still a little embarrassing.
If this had stopped directly in the void, wouldn't they have fallen the moment they came in?
He suddenly thought of a way to deal with those big monsters, and a hint of joy appeared in his heart, so he came out to greet them.
He led the two alpacas away and tied them to the distant cattle pen before coming back over.
"Robert, you haven't seen me for a few days?" Unlike his relaxed demeanor, Robert's face was full of solemnity.
"Mr. Fang Yuan, I'm going to leave here and go to the north to find help, but the situation in New York has deteriorated a little terribly!"
"Deterioration?" Fang Yuan was stunned, shouldn't they be a thriving scene now? What does this deterioration mean?
"This is the former Daredevil leader of New York, and he took his daughter into the milk pool on his own initiative!" Robert introduced the man beside him, and Fang Yuan turned his attention to it.
This man was a typical middle-aged white man, with a high nose and deep eye sockets, and he saluted Fang Yuan, "God of another world, you can call me John!" ”
Fang Yuan was a little different for a while, because he called himself "god"!
This title is a deity, or it can be a god, and the expression of a middle-aged white man is clearly the latter.
Fang Yuan reacted, this guy really thought he was walking in the world of some Yawei!
He does not refute that some of his abilities are more divine than gods, more divine than gods.
He had already remembered the identity of the person opposite, this face looked neutral and gentle, but the face in the movie could be described as hideous and terrifying!
In the movie, he ended the age of mankind, and perhaps in the future, he will become the true king of the night demons!
This guy is really the Daredevil of this city, at least a certain area, according to the plot, he should already have his own consciousness, how could he take the initiative to enter the milk pool?
Fang Yuan walked towards a box and took out his daily tools from it, only then summoned the portal, "John, right?" Go out and talk! ”
The portal slashed through the three of them, taking them to the high walls of the outside world, which was of course also the result of Fang Yuan's control.
Coming out of the door, the first thing I saw was the middle of the high wall that had changed a lot, the original site was black, full of some strange marks, but now it has been filled with all kinds of buildings, it looks colorful but not messy.
This is the spontaneous act of creation that occurs when people recover from the fear of becoming a night demon.
Fang Yuanyao looked at these people, they were still working very hard, in the case of extremely rich resources but extremely short of manpower, this society did have a feeling that everything was the same.
At this time, the two people around him came back to their senses from the vertigo of the crossing, Fang Yuan looked at them, "Let's talk about it, what is the deteriorating horror?" ”
"The night demons in the city did not decrease at this time, but two years ago!" John spoke, "I'm not like them, I retain some wisdom, but I still lack humanity, so I have a clear memory of that time!" ”
"At that time, there were still some people in the city who looked like us night demons, about a million," he said very flatly, but the description in his words contained inches of blood and tears, "Just like the KV virus three years ago, there is also such a virus in the night demons, but this time there are no survivors, only unlucky people!" ”
"In that month's time, we've lost nearly half of our kind, and we're even harder to find humans in the city!"
"This virus only seems to work on us, it is like maggots attached to the bones, if you are infected, you can only wait to die, and running to the sun is the easiest way to avoid pain!"
His description was exactly the same as what Robert had observed, except that it was two years earlier.
"So you realized that this was not an accident at all, but a premeditated plan?" Fang Yuan frowned, what he hated most was this kind of special conspiracy hidden in the dark, what the hell were these conspirators trying to do?
But his expression did not change, since these two people came to him to discuss, there must be some special solution.
"What do you guys think?"
"According to John, the virus takes about a month from start to finish, and I think is, can we rely on such a time difference to deliver the antidote to the world?" Robert's ideas are still fraternal.
Fang Yuan nodded, "Things may not be as bad as you think, since there are areas in the north that the KV virus can't reach, is there a place where the special virus can't reach now?" ”
"If you can......" Robert was comforted by Fang Yuan, and his eyes gradually lit up, "There is a chance!" There must be a chance! There should be a lot of cities that haven't been covered, and there must be survivors in those places! ”
The sound of rumbling generators rang out, and they used two rather large machines to open the stone-sealed door, the torsion of the belt forcibly pulling the stone apart, revealing enough space to pass.
Fang Yuan knew that this was a defense facility that he had made for them, and with the help of this modern industry, it seemed to be working quite smoothly.
"So what you need to do now is to get enough people to save as many local citizens as possible!" Fang Yuan looked at Robert, "You can't delay any longer!" ”
"I thought I was going to let the people here recover some production capacity before I wen......t," Robert was a little annoyed, "I'll leave some things to John, and I'll take care of you here, Mr. Fang, thank you for your hard work!" ”
"Go, go, hurry up, after you pass, you can directly open the portal and send all the people to you!" Fang Yuan nodded, "As long as you can connect with the surviving forces now, I believe they won't refuse our proposal!" ”
Since there are still millions of people in the world who have survived, it is inevitable that larger countries will organize the migration of people to the north, even if they cannot form major cities, and they can temporarily link the major transitions of the whole world, which is actually the most important.
Robert drove through the entire United States for a month, and if they want to deliver the vaccine to the world within a month, they must rely on the power of the world's governments or armies that are still running!
"Then I'll go first!" Robert was obviously ready, most likely just to inform Fang Yuan today, he walked quickly down the high wall - they had put a rope ladder next to the wall that allowed for fast passage.
Fang Yuan jumped down from the high wall, since he found that his abilities and levels in this world were higher, he had let himself go a little, besides, the ten-meter-high wall would not let him fall to his death, he could try.
Sure enough, as he expected, Fang Yuan didn't even lose blood, just shook the ground lightly twice, and then returned to normal.
This made him even more confident in his origin, watching Robert take a few people into a specially reinforced RV, he couldn't help but sigh, "The future of mankind is in your hands!" ”
"Your Excellency, three years ago I was the head of surgery at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York, and now I will take care of the affairs here for the time being!" John said, and also told Fang Yuan their goal during this time.
"Robert said, we need a complete vaccine production plant to produce the KV-6 vaccine, can you help us get a position?"
His euphemistic statement made Fang Yuan understand the thoughts of this person, it was very simple, after a few days of buffering, this group of people still had the upper hand in human nature after all.
They wanted to do something for the future of the human race, and it might be a big war next, but they didn't have much confidence in their own strength, so they wanted Fang Yuan to help calm the scene.
"Yes, let's talk about your plans first!" Fang Yuan nodded slightly, the two of them walked through this base, obviously it hadn't been a few days, but the changes here were much greater than he expected.
Although there was little bustle here, the sound of rapid breathing similar to that of a night demon could be heard in the previously configured tents, as well as the whining of some air conditioners.
"In order to ensure that the conversion can be successful, all patients should stay in a cold environment, which can reduce the activity of the KV virus and make the vaccine work faster." John also made some interpretations in passing.
Fang Yuan nodded slightly to show understanding, there are no plants that can survive here, so looking at the cold industrial wind, combined with the movable board house with metal steel frame and color tiles, it is indeed very punk.
"We plan to attack Pfizer's head office in New York, although there is no one there, but their vaccine factory and disinfection workshop are all using military-grade protection, and three years later, the most likely surviving vaccine factory in New York is there!"
John said, he clearly had a plan, "I was there when I was a night demon, and there were no people, but there were quite a few animals. ”
This is actually the greatest legacy that the survivors of human society that has not been completely wiped out in the years before the end of the day, the factories, machines and materials that have not lost their function in the short passage of time.
In another ten years, there won't be anything meaningful to humans in the whole city except for canned food, so they actually have time at this time.
"John!" Anna hurriedly walked over and saluted in surprise when she saw Fang Yuan, "Mr. Fang is also there, Robert said about protecting the milk pool, but those night demons are like crazy, and they start jumping into the milk pool at night!" ”
Her face was full of anxiety, "We don't have that many vaccines, and if we continue to jump like this, all the remaining Daredevils will die in the pool in five days at most!" ”
"Your Excellency, you can go and have a look!" John was silent for a while, as if it was rare to say anything like this.
Fang Yuan walked straight out of the door, outside the door was a large amount of sunlight and a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, the night demons had already given up the secret observation, and directly turned to peep on the bright side, and their eyes were not on so many humans, only in the center of the milk pool, it seemed that as soon as the sunlight went out, they would charge at the milk pool!
There are still a lot of people in the milk pool, they are fishing out of the pool a fair-skinned, hairless human, some of them will even secretly take a sip of milk, I don't know what to do.
"Now all the Daredevil are around here, and they seem to have figured out how to transform, but we don't have enough vaccines, and those who can't fight off the KV virus will become infected again, and this is another 10% screening!"
John stated their real concern, "If this continues, there may be less than 7,000 last humans in all of New York!" ”
