The High Priest was quite unconscious, and although the Wild Devourer was slowly repairing the wounds on his face, it seemed that the old man would not wake up anytime soon.

After leaving that last sentence, another layer of will attached to him also disappeared.

Song Lan assisted the person to the bed so that he could rest better.

"In this way, the people of the town have turned into zombies, not the so-called wild devourer, but the product of the influence of the moon."

He was thoughtful.

"The question is, who threw the Devourer here?"

Lu Xiang said that although Song Lan has always described this devourer as a wild devourer, all devourers are not products bred by nature, they were born from the research accident of Yungang Biopharmaceutical, and they are artificially created creatures, "Maybe there was a laboratory in this place in the past." ”

It seems that even the inhabitants of the town do not know that there is such a huge space hidden beneath their feet.

The only way to find out the truth of the matter is to go all the way down the Holy Land to the place where the Devourer is.

The two of them did not linger long, and after the high priest had fallen into a coma, he went down the holy place, through the pool of the hatchery, and under the guidance of the orange candlelight, he walked across a bridge, and on both sides of the bridge was a bottomless abyss, and from time to time there was a whispering echo, and no one knew where the abyss led or what was hidden underneath.

At the end of the bridge, a building with a completely different decoration style from the believer's hut appeared in front of the two of them.

At first glance, it looks like a ruined research facility, with a crescent-shaped emblem beneath that layer of flesh and blood.

"It's ...... Eclipse? ”

After seeing the emblem, Lu Xiang was stunned.

"Lunar eclipse?"

"I've seen this kind of emblem before, and they're the largest sect in a third country."

In the aftermath of the Third War, the people of third countries suffered a great deal of suffering, the most serious of which was the various diseases caused by radiation, and it was in this environment that the Lunar Eclipse Sect came into being.

"On a previous mission, we dealt with followers of the Eclipse Sect."

These people do not worship a god, but the moon itself, and "their teachings say that on the night of a lunar eclipse, faith will cleanse them from all their suffering, so that they will no longer have to suffer from the ravages of reality." ”

"When was the last lunar eclipse?"

Song Lan suddenly thought of something and asked.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiang came up with an answer, "A month ago." ”

"The timing of the spread of the virus is at the right time."

In this way, the Lunar Eclipse Sect did fulfill their doctrine and "washed" the suffering of their followers, but in the way that they turned them all into zombies, as long as they had no brains, they would no longer suffer, and they would not even have to worry about radiation when they were lying in the glowing sea bathing.

"You mean that the virus was actually brought by the moon?" Lu Xiang fell into deep thought, "The frequency of lunar eclipses occurs 1-3 times a year, which coincides with the frequency of infection outbreaks in third countries. ”

No wonder Dr. Oleg and his team have traveled almost to the entire third country over the years and have not found the source of the infection, who would have thought that the cause of the infection was a lunar eclipse?

"It's the moon that brings the virus, and I don't think even if you say that, they may not be able to accept it."

"Maybe it's not a virus, do you remember Andrew?"

Although the infected person did look like he was infected by some kind of spreading virus on the surface, Andrew's example made Song Lan think differently, "Dr. Oleg said that before Andrew escaped from the gym, they had done six physical examinations on him, and all the results showed that he was not infected with the virus, and after escaping, Andrew immediately left the town and fled all the way to the location where the signal for help was issued. ”

What is the virus that even the most professional doctors can't detect, but can turn a person into a zombie alive?

"After Andrew's entry into the pit, the biggest difference from before was that he saw the mural and learned about the existence of the 'mother', the story described in the mural was so religious in nature that he believed at least part of it, and after that, the biggest difference between him and Dr. Oleg was that he always believed that he had been infected with the virus."

This is evident in the memo in his exoskeleton armor.

Even though six physical examinations gave negative results, Andrew still firmly believed that the virus in his body had only been detected by the medical team for the time being, but sooner or later it would break out.

"The question is, why did he have this perception?"

As a doctor, what can help him make an accurate judgment should be an objective medical examination, not to mention that the coalition government probably has no doctor who knows more about infection than Oleg.

Andrew, however, developed a kind of blind faith for no reason.

"You're saying it's actually some kind of psychic virus?"

"Or rather, ability."

People who are blindly influenced by their abilities will be affected by the "virus", whether it is for believers who have good hopes for washing, or Andrew who falls into self-doubt because of stress and panic, and the same thing happens to him in the end.

And the one who spreads this ability is probably the huge eye in the night sky that replaces the moon.

"Now the question is, why was that eye bumped into by Oleg and them only this time?"

Obviously, this wasn't the first time Oleg had dealt with an infection, and it wasn't the first time he had gone deep into an infected town, but it was definitely the first time they had seen the eerie moon.

What happened to the high priest seems to have brought them answer.

"This wild Devourer seems to want me to help him deal with the Moon, while the other will from the Moon wants us to get out, and the Devourer has slowed down his metamorphosis in order to fight the Moon."

Everything they had learned meant that the moon was waiting for the moment when the Devourer's transformation was complete.

"Maybe it's the same as us, it's also coming for this devourer."

Song Lan looked up at the crescent-shaped emblem on the destruction experiment facility, and after connecting everything together, all the mysteries were answered, "I was wrong before, this is not a wild devourer, but a creation created by the Eclipse Sect. ”

Place the Devourer somewhere in a third country to be cultivated, and when they metamorphose, recycle them.

In order to hide all this secret, all the inhabitants of the town are transformed into zombies without independent thinking under the influence of the lunar eclipse.

"There was a problem with their recovery this time, and the 'mother' gave birth to the will to rebel against them, so that it missed the time of 'receiving', so it was hit by Dr. Oleg's team."
