Chapter 17: The Underground Black Market

"Woo-woo-"

It was the whistle of a steam train, and a black train slowly stopped at the Florence stop.

[Arriving at Florence in front, please bring your belongings if you need to get off the train!] 】

A loud radio began to play in the station, and the bustling crowd stepped down from the train, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes slowly walked down from the VIP car of train A1.

The blonde youth was dressed in a black trench coat and wore a hat with a slightly narrowed brim and a slight upward turn on his head, and a large white-haired and red-eyed dog followed behind him with a wagging tail.

"According to the information provided by Sharon Eulvius, [Hand of Blight] has a station in Carignano, which is the kind of dangerous place that no one should enter because of its high-risk distortion, and only the [Hand of Blight] will run away from these unfathomable madmen."

Xia Xiu held a photo in his hand and said to himself in his heart, the photo in his hand was a swampy woodland in Carignano, the swampy woodland on the photo was overgrown with wet grasses and mosses, and in addition to these, he could also see decaying and dilapidated trees.

The EVE particles in the marshy woodlands of Carmignano are unusually disordered, and the high degree of distortion makes the ARad field there unusually incongruous, and the [Blight Hands] camp there purely because they are not afraid of death, and they themselves grow like leeks.

"The plague spreaders are probably also famous in [the hand of the plague], so you have to ask someone for a friendly question."

When Jiamu saw the warm smile on the boss's face, he knew that someone was going to be unlucky again.

"Let's go, let's go and see the believers of the Father."

"Wang—"

········

Carmignano Marshy Woodland.

The front of a former sedan had hit a thick rotten piece of wood, the roof of the sedan was on fire, and two men wearing special masks were surrounding the sedan in front of the burning sedan.

"Alec, this virus was really created by you, why does this flesh virus look so like it was created by the Sarkic."

Wende looked at the four deformed bodies and asked Alec on the side.

"What bullshit Sarkicism, this is a prion that Lao Tzu just developed!" Alec yelled at his companion in displeasure.

For the members of [Hand of the Plague], the plague they created is very important, and they sometimes even fight for the authorship of the epidemic, and now Alec's virus is said by Wende to be like a Sarkic, which is not to doubt that his virus is not self-made, which he can't bear.

"Let me tell you, my prion is also a special zombie virus, which can induce sporadic cell necrosis in the human body, and the receptor must die within 12 hours of infection with the virus, and the nervous and muscular systems remain unaffected after a few hours of total organ failure."

Alec walked up to the four aberrant corpses, which were originally a family of four who had come out for a picnic, and who had the misfortune to meet Alec and Wende while passing through Carignano.

Out of his own distorted and dark desire to destroy, Alec threw his newly developed virus to a happy family of four, and he wanted to make this happy family of four the first recipients of his own virus.

"After infection with the prion, the metabolism of the receptor will drop to a very low level, it will allow the receptor to survive without nutrient intake for more than ten years, the red blood cells in the receptor will greatly increase the oxygen storage capacity, their blood flow will be slowed down exponentially, and at the same time, the endurance and strength of their muscles will increase."

Alec spoke proudly and proudly to Wend about the newly developed prions.

"Alec, the zombie virus is not something we can get involved casually, let alone a normal force, the alien force group is also very taboo about the zombie virus, if you make the virus, it will ······· spread"

"My prion is not highly contagious, it's not the same exponential explosion zombie virus that can be transmitted with a bite, and of course, it doesn't chase life all the time."

Alec interrupted Wende's narration, and he raised his hand to point to the four deformed corpses, and then ordered:

"Attack the tree in front of you!"

Touch! Touch! Touch!

The four deformed corpses swung their fists at a tree in front of them, while Alec in the back turned back to Wende and said:

"The virus I created is controllable, it is different from those uncontrollable zombie viruses, it will be completely under my control, and it can survive for more than 10 years without any nutritional intake, this is simply the most perfect zombie soldier."

Speaking of this, Alec's face showed a look of disdain, and he continued proudly to Wende:

"Don't compare my prions to the traditional viruses, which are not aesthetically pleasing to all, and the people who developed them only care about exponential infection and live tracking, which is simply humiliating."

"My virus is an immortal masterpiece that can be enshrined in my father's virus code!"

"Virus, this is the salvation given to us by the Great Father, and the plague is the only way to understand the truth of the world."

Looking at Alec, who was in a frenzy, Wende was already surprised, probably because he joined the club late, so Wende still had a little bit of the human flavor of civilized society on his body, but there was not much human flavor in this place, and he felt that sooner or later he would become as crazy as Alec.

"I'm so lucky, I just met the members of [Blight's Hand] when I first came here."

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Alec and Wende, their faces changing sharply as they quickly moved several steps forward as they turned sideways to look back at the figure that appeared behind them.

Xia Xiu walked out with Jiamu slowly on the other side of the swamp woodland, he didn't expect his luck to be so good, as soon as he entered the swamp woodland, he met the members of the [Blight Hand] who were going crazy.

Xia Xiu's gaze briefly glanced at the burning vehicles and the four distorted corpses, and from the crazy words of the [Hand of the Plague] just now, he could probably deduce what had just happened here.

"Tsk, the members of [Hand of the Plague] are all so pulling, you dare to say that this is a virus you created after casually changing the Sarkic BIO technology a few times, who gave you the courage, your great loving father?" Xia Xiu said mockingly to Alec and Wende.

"Bastard, how can you blaspheme the name of a loving father!!"

Alec was furious when he saw that the blonde young man who suddenly appeared on the other side dared to mock his father, and he roared and instructed the four deformed corpses to attack each other.

"Give me this scrap to pieces!!"

As Alec's words fell, four deformed corpses rushed towards the blonde youth, who unhurriedly stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Smack-

"If you change the BIO species casually, you dare to use it to kill Sarkic members, who gave you this inexplicable courage?"

In the Sarkic lineage, the Sarkic creations of the BIO species are absolutely subordinate to the members of the Sarkic lineage.

With the snapping of fingers, the mutation occurred.

Under the horrified gaze of Alec and Wende, the four deformed corpses that should have rushed towards the blonde youth suddenly turned around and rushed towards Alec alone.

"Don't come here—"

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

The deformed zombie's bloody mouth filled with corrosive slime bit into Alec's body, and his left shoulder, left leg, right hand, and right leg were bitten at the same time, and the flesh with sticky blood was removed from it.

"Ahh

Alec let out a terrible cry, and Wend, who was on the side, turned pale and ran towards the depths of the swampy woodland.

Puff –

Wende, who was running forward, felt a sharp pain in his right foot, and he couldn't help but fall forward, and directly gnawed on the mud.

"Shhhh

Wende rolled from side to side on the ground with his right leg bent, and beside him, Cam unfogged himself with a look of relief.

If you look closely, you can see three paw prints on the wound on Wende's right leg.

Xia Xiu hadn't moved since he snapped his fingers just now, and only after Alec in front of him was almost broken into pieces by four deformed zombies, he walked forward without hurry.

Soon, Xia Xiu walked in front of the aberrant corpse with blood stained on his mouth.

"Congratulations to the four of you, you personally stabbed the enemy."

The blonde youth took off his top hat and smiled at the four corpses, who stared at each other blankly, their consciousness already gone, and now they were left with the instinct to obey orders.

"Four, let's go."

Boom –

The [Adora Burst] flame tainted by the terrifying Mimu covered the four deformed corpses, and Xia Xiu had already raised his feet again in front of the immobile Wende at this time, and in front of the other party's frightened face, he smiled at the other party and said:

"Sir, can I ask you a few things?"

Wende saw the warm smile on the blonde youth's face, and he couldn't help but slide back with his palms on the ground.

"You... If you have anything to do, just ask..."

Looking at the frightened Wende, Xia Xiu pretended to reproach and reprimanded Jia Mu, who was wagging his tail on the side:

"Look at you, you don't know how to start lighter, and you will scare people."

Wang, boss, the other party is obviously afraid of you.

Jiamu said to himself, but he was used to his boss's play.

After reprimanding Jiamu in a fake manner, Xia Xiu then said to Wende with a concerned face:

"Come, I'll help you heal your leg, let's talk about it in another place, I think we'll definitely talk about it."

"Gollum—"

Looking at the other party's kind smile, Wende couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Ahaha, I also believe that we will talk..." An embarrassed laugh came out of Wende's mouth.

MD, why is your luck so bad that you met a Sarkic madman!

Wende smiled awkwardly on the surface, and said depressedly in his heart.

·········

Carmignano Underground Cave.

"I didn't expect there to be a natural karst here." Xia Xiu looked at the roof of the cave that exuded a colorful luster above his head and said with a sigh.

"This is a natural underground black market, and because the limestone layers contain different amounts of limestone and are eroded to different degrees, they are dissolved and divided into separate caves." Wende, who led Xia Xiu here, explained to the other party.

"The terrain here is varied, and because it's located in a high-distortion area of Carignano, it's become an underground trading place for anomalies over time."

Listening to Wende's words, Xia Xiu nodded clearly.

The complex terrain of this underground cave itself, coupled with the disturbance of EVE particles caused by the high degree of distortion, makes it impossible for the average thaumaturgist to find a real underground black market without an acquaintance to lead the way.

"Being Carmignano's underground black market means he sells everything, right?" Xia Xiu asked Wende, who was flattering on the side.

"Yes, didn't you ask me how to buy large quantities of virus samples, most of the members of [Hands of Disease] regularly sell their own viruses here." Wende replied to Xia Xiu.

"Do you know when the last virus deal took place?" Xia Xiu asked at Wende.

"Well, the most recent one is estimated to be three days away."

"Three days later, ······"

Xia Xiumo rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

Three days later, it's not too long, the plague spreader can't create a large number of viruses to release by himself, and if he wants to get a large number of virus samples, he will definitely not miss the party where he can buy a large number of virus samples.

"What do I need to meet if I want to buy and sell at a party?"

Hearing Xia Xiu's question, Wende thought about it, if you want to participate in the gathering of the [Hand of the Plague], you need to meet certain conditions.

"To attend the meeting, three conditions must be met, first of all, he must follow the sacred theory of the evolution of the epidemic from the bottom of his heart." Wende said to Xia Xiu with a solemn face.

Xia Xiu had actually heard of the theory of the evolution of epidemic disease in Wende's mouth, and the early advocates of the theory of epidemic evolution believed that viruses had the following four characteristics:

(1): Diseases can change their characteristics through genetic mutations, heredity, and other evolutionary mechanisms.

(2): Humans and animals can also change their resistance to disease over time.

(3): The interaction between disease and humans and animals is complex and can influence the evolution of disease.

(4): The evolution of diseases has an important impact on the health and survival of humans and animals.

Objectively speaking, the above four points are more or less reasonable, but it is a pity that [the hand of the epidemic] has distorted these four points to grandma's house, and they now only think that the epidemic is the only way for human beings to evolve, and the epidemic is the most just and selfless trial.

"You can see that I know from the bottom of my heart, of course, I sincerely believe in the evolution of epidemics." Xia Xiu said nonsense to Wende.

Looking at the sincere expression on the blonde young man's face, Wende didn't dare to do anything.

"And what about the second condition?"

Xia Xiu continued to ask Wende.
