Chapter 35: The Great Conspiracy...
Meg and Lao Lei escaped together in that battle, and the two combined to sort out with Cheng Whistle, and most of the scenes of that day were restored, and there was basically nothing missing.
The last news about the person who delivered the scales was that Meg later secretly returned to the Colossus once and asked about it.
In addition to the Scales of Justice, the man told Meg two strange things.
He said. At that time, the city lord was talking to himself to the sky alone, as if he was talking to someone, but he couldn't hear the specific content clearly, and he didn't dare to listen. ”
"In addition, after he moved the Justice Libra into the warehouse, there was a strange buzzing sound in the basement below the warehouse, and then there were several knock knocks~ several sounds, which seemed to be the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground."
Cheng Xiaofeng thought for a moment and seemed to think of something: "Can you still contact the scale delivery person now?" ”
"Died early...... The lifespan of ordinary people is not high, and there are so many accidents that happen every day in the wasteland, and they can't be found. ”
Meg said with great certainty.
Cheng Whistle nodded and didn't ask again, which also matched the justice scale they found in the City Lord's Mansion later.
The city lord can't use it, and if he moves it, he will be burned, so he will naturally put it in the warehouse and eat ashes.
The basement below is where the shrine is located, and some kind of change may be taking place inside.
'Pollution? ’
Cheng Xiaofeng is not sure what the process of contamination of the shrine was, so he can only speculate for the time being.
"Alas... I've also summed it up many times, the other party's attack that day was too unexpected, we had no news, and the poisonous wine was so well disguised, even my master didn't drink it, and I could only let the mermaid meat in the middle of the set, if it weren't for my master's artifact protector, borrowing the energy inside to protect us from retreating, we would all die in it at that time......"
Lao Lei shook his head, he couldn't find any solution in this game.
After listening to the detailed version, Cheng Xiaofeng also had his own judgment in his heart, and several of the unreasonable points became more and more prominent.
"First question, why did the Mystic Inheritance attack you? Why didn't the Human Alliance cure them later? ”
Lao Lei said angrily: "It's not because my uncle and master killed their mysterious scum who betrayed the human race!" ”
"Scum?"
"That's right! It's because of that scum who colluded with zombies! A traitor who eats inside and outside, he is the enemy of the whole human race, my uncle and master killed him to eliminate harm, they said on the surface that we killed well, and everyone was punished, but in private they still held grudges, so they hurt my uncles, and finally killed my master."
That mysterious traitor, Cheng Whistle has heard of it, and it is also recorded in the history of the Human Alliance, that it is a trade with zombies, and it is not too much to kill a hundred times if he captures live humans in exchange for the secret materials he needs, full of dog things.
Listening to Lao Lei's description, Cheng Xiaofeng frowned.
"That's not right."
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"The logic is not right for this kind of treacherous thing, there is no need for the mysterious inheritance to trouble you, you got rid of him, but it saves the mysterious inheritance, otherwise it will be reported to the human alliance, this person will also die, and the mysterious inheritance will be liquidated afterwards, they have no reason to attack the inquisitor because of a mortal person, and the most important thing is that if he really has this reason to make trouble, then the human alliance cannot sit idly by, according to my feelings about dealing with the human alliance recently."
Lao Lei was stunned: "But apart from this incident, we and the mysterious well water do not interfere with the river water, and there has been almost no head-on conflict, why should they raid us?" And it has continued to sweep for so many years, killing most of the inquisitors who escaped at the beginning, and only a few of us who have hidden good old things are still surviving. ”
"Are you sure you don't?"
Meg and Old Ray both shook their heads in unison: "No. We remember very well in the trial record of our inquisitor, and there was such a bad relationship with Mystic during that time. ”
"Understood, then obviously you are looking in the wrong direction, after listening to Lao Lei's description. The main culprits back then were not mysterious inheritances, they were just thugs, and the real principals were the city lords! He definitely made some kind of deal with the Mystic Inheritance, so that the people of the Mystic Inheritance did what he wanted, and thus launched that sneak attack, and the reasons for the sneak attack could be complicated. ”
"Huh?"
Both of them were shocked, for so many years, they had always thought that it was the sneak attack led by the mysterious inheritance, and Cheng Whistlefeng's statement made the two unacceptable for a while.
"Why? We didn't know the lord, and he was definitely a human at the time! Otherwise, my master's artifact would definitely detect it, and he only noticed that the city lord was full of sin at that time, and did not say that he was a zombie. ”
"That should have been transformed into zombies and so on!"
Cheng Xuanfeng woke up suddenly, and suddenly thought of an extremely terrible thing!
He pulled out his smartwatch.
["Lin Tang, after your artifact is opened, can you sense whether the enemy is a zombie or a human? ”】
Lin Tang, who was killing zombies on the front line, saw the long-lost lord's message, first happy, and then quickly replied with a voice.
[Lin Tang: "Yes! After opening, in addition to seeing the other party's sin value, you can also perceive whether it is the sin of another race or the sin of humans, and there is a very clear distinction. ”】
[Lord: "Good! Now go find a few soldiers who have recovered from the infection, open the artifact and see if they are human or zombies! ”】
[Lin Tang: "Okay! Right away! ”】
Lao Lei listened to Cheng Whistlefeng's voice message and showed a solemn look.
"You're saying that the recent violent infection has something to do with this zombie lord?"
"I can't say it, but I hope not."
Cheng Xianfeng felt that he had vaguely grasped the context of the whole thing, and there was a pair of invisible hands in the middle that connected the events of 50 years.
If that's the case. There may be big problems within humanity. ’
'Mystic Legacy. Maybe it's not just a mystical inheritance. ’
Cheng Xuanfeng pinched his hair and kept spinning, and one by one inferences appeared in his mind, a feeling that he was about to see clearly, but there were many points of logic that were not very smooth.
Old Ray and Meg looked at each other. It's not as simple as they think.
But Meg said firmly: "No matter what the reason, the mysterious inheritance cannot escape responsibility, their attack that day only killed some of us, and the other inquisitors scattered around the world were forcefully purged afterwards, and they did it all!" We, the Inquisitors, and the Mystic Legacy are at odds! They will be destroyed. ”
Cheng Whistle nodded undeniably.
After waiting for half an hour, news came from Lin Tang.
[Lin Tang: "Lord Lord, it's so dangerous! I just took a gun and went to the 3rd Battalion of Infection, pointed at the infected soldiers, told them to stand up, and then were surrounded by people! It's good to explain it clearly, otherwise I'd have died"]
The corners of Cheng Whistlefeng's mouth twitched slightly, this is what Lin Tang can do.
[Lin Tang: "Fortunately, it is not dishonorable to the mission, these soldiers are all normal human reactions under the perception of my artifact, it seems that this infection does not have much impact, Lord Lord, you can rest assured." ”】
Feel relieved?
Cheng Xiangfeng closed his eyes and sighed.
Cheng Xiangfeng closed his eyes and sighed.
"The worst has happened. This kind of infection will confuse your inquisitor's artifact, and it is still a human being who perceives it, so the city lord at that time really can't say what the situation was, maybe he was just this kind of infected person at that time. ”
Old Lei was surprised: "That's not right! Didn't the soldiers say that this was the latest virus? How could it have appeared 50 years ago? ”
Cheng Whistle thought of the dense human experiments in the basement of the zombie city lord and took a deep breath.
"If I'm not mistaken, that zombie lord is carrying the original virus, and they have spent 50 years researching it. Evolved to a highly infectious and stealthy variant, and even the large-scale appearance of intelligent zombies on the zombie side may also be another variant of their virus. ”
"Ahh
Old Ray and Meg were already so surprised that they couldn't speak, it was just their hatred with the mysterious inheritance, but suddenly a zombie appeared, playing an extremely important role in it.
Lao Lei: "Then why did the mysterious inheritor help that zombie city lord?" Even though I hate them very much, in the face of alien races, human beings are still very united, one or two rapes may appear, but it is unlikely that the entire mystical inheritance has rebelled. ”
Meg: "I'm the same as Lao Lei thought, the mysterious inheritance is very powerful, but it is impossible to help the zombies. ”
Even if they hate the mystery to death, the two of them still maintain an objective perspective on this kind of major event.
Cheng Xuanfeng spread his hands helplessly: "Indeed. So there may be reasons for this that we don't know yet. ”
All events point to a mysterious inheritance and a new zombie virus, but a key thread is missing to tie the whole story together.
'Zombie City Lord. The new virus exterminates the Inquisitor. The lord of the castle muttered to himself to the sky and the shrine made strange noises for 50 years studying humans and zombies. Sudden outbreak of virus-infected soldiers. Artifact Induction.'
Clues kept appearing in Cheng Xianfeng's mind, but something was always missing.
'What the hell do zombies want to do?' ’
Just as Cheng Whistle was in deep thought, his smartwatch vibrated again.
It's Lintang.
[Lin Tang: "That's right! My lord, there is another very detailed thing that I haven't told you just now, but it's a little strange that I think about it, so I still have to report it to you. ”】
[Lin Tang: "Although those infected soldiers sense that they are human beings, and they are all good people, but a small number of them have a little bit of evil entangled in their bodies, they may have done something bad recently, but the glory of the soldiers who have been killing aliens all year round is too dazzling, if I am not careful enough, I will definitely not be able to find it!" ”】
"Huh? Smell of sin? Old Lei, what does this mean? ”
"It means that they have done bad things that are recognized in the human code, not ambiguous, but pure bad things, otherwise the evil breath will not be entangled."
Aunt Mei answered first.
Cheng Xuanfeng wondered: "They have been isolated by soldiers some time ago, and after they were released, they also lived in a camp specially infected with soldiers, and they assisted us in fighting together yesterday, so there is no chance to do bad things in between, right?" Odd. How could a soldier be entangled in the smell of sin? ”
Syllable!
Lao Lei suddenly clapped his hands.
"I see!"
"It is likely that they have transmitted the virus on their bodies to others, and the sin of spreading the plague is also very serious! There was an incident recorded in the records of the ancestors, in the early days of the wasteland era, radiation caused a lot of strange diseases, there was an infected person who said that he was not sick because he was afraid of death, and secretly hid in a human gathering place, and then infected a whole settlement, all of which died tragically He saw the dying man, with black gas wrapped around his head, and the sin was monstrous! ”
"Oh, that's right." Cheng Xuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Hi! I thought these soldiers were doing something bad when they were controlled by the zombie virus, but if it was infected, they didn't mean to, after all, this virus is very hidden, and"
Suddenly, Cheng Whistle was startled.
"It's broken!"
Meg and Old Ray: "What's wrong!?" ”
"Infected! They spread the infection!? When! Who is infected? There was no news from the soldiers and my sub-base! ”
This virus seems to be nothing on the surface, but through the zombie lord and its secret experimental base 50 years ago, Cheng Whistle has seriously suspected that this virus is not so simple!
If other people are infected, and these people are not under the control of the soldiers, once they reach a crowded area
The consequences are unimaginable!
"Let's talk about what happened 50 years ago, I'll go and contact the soldiers first!"
The three shadow guards opened their eyes at the same time in the administrative center of the Red City.
"Let's go back to the northern battlefield quickly!"
Call!
The Red Devil Flying Machine spewed blue flames and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Cheng whistle also dialed Hong Changsheng's smart watch.
"Something's wrong! You guys have a problem with the infection 3 battalion! Find out who those soldiers have been in contact with lately! They may have inadvertently spread a new infection of zombies! ”
Hong Changsheng was a little puzzled.
"Infected with a virus? No way. Our headquarters and the Human Alliance have tested it, this virus will not spread through the air and water, it is okay to sit and eat face-to-face, this new virus is the same as the traditional zombie virus, it needs blood to spread, that is, they have to bite someone else to do it, how can it be spread inadvertently? ”
"Huh?"
Cheng Whistle was a little surprised, but it made sense when he thought about it.
'If the Human Alliance and the soldiers hadn't investigated the route of infection, they wouldn't have let them out of quarantine easily, so what's going on?' Do they deliberately hurt others? Impossible, consciousness is not controlled, how can these most loyal soldiers harm humans? ’
He shook his head: "No matter, anyway, my people noticed that they had a problem, you first go and check who has been in contact with them in the past few days, and then control it first!" ”
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate."
Hong Changsheng was a little strange, but the lord of the natural disaster base personally gave him a voice call, and he had to be respected.
"Lin Hao, go to Camp 3 to find out what outsiders they have been in contact with recently."
"Yes!"
After the arrangement, Hong Changsheng reached into his clothes and touched the dry muscles on his left rib like a zombie, which were as natural as his own body.
"Nothing other than a few body changes."
"Alas, when this session is over, I should also retire, and then go home to accompany my wife and children to enjoy my old age, there are ruthless people in the natural disaster base here, and I don't need this old bone."
He pulled out the pale, slightly whitish picture from his wallet, and smiled lovingly.
"I really want them to come and accompany me now." (End of chapter)
