Chapter X

The key family is actually a kind of alien element intelligent life that has existed for a long time, and the melting point of the key element that constitutes the life body is about 23 degrees Celsius, so the body of the key family is between solid and liquid all year round, and it needs a key core to condense and regulate. The key family can change its form according to its own needs. As for how the key core came about, Jiang himself couldn't explain it clearly, and in its words, it was like a human soul. If the key element is not controlled by the key core, it will quickly vaporize and form the key gas. Key gas is a kind of gas that is toxic to the human race, if it is inhaled, it will slowly penetrate into the bone marrow, and then slowly corrode and assimilate the human elements from the inside to the outside from the bones, which is also purple eye, and the key calls these people the key people: the people who are eroded by the key.

These are the secrets that Jiang told Shi Liang, but many special terms Shi Liang heard of for the first time, and from his blank look, he could roughly guess how much he didn't understand.

"I'm back." Yang Haoren arrived before he arrived.

Jiang who was still chatting "Whoosh! Suddenly it changed back to the half-section of the mask on Arashi's face. Jiang Lan immediately got up, jumped into the cat, and hid in the wooden box next to the bed. Before Shi Liang walked out of the utility room, Yang Hao had already probed in.

"What are you doing here?" Yang Hao glanced at the cramped storage room, and lost interest.

"The door lock is broken, I guess it was made by the fierce armor last time. As soon as I got back to the dormitory, I heard a noise, so I came in to take a look, but there was nothing, I guess it was Xiao Mouse running in. Shi Liang pretended to be calm, found a reason at random, and followed Yang Hao back to the middle hall while explaining, and did not forget to quietly close the door when he went out.

"Then I'll ask for some rat poison another day." Yang Hao did not doubt him.

Seeing that Yang Hao didn't think much about it, Shi Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. took out the ring given by the second uncle to divert attention. Yang Hao was naturally very happy when he saw the novelty baby, and regardless of Shi Liang's special instructions, after putting on the ring, he slapped the red fire crystal with the palm of his other hand. "Weng!" With a muffled sound, a light and shadow flashed on the ring's fire crystal, and a fiery red translucent shield stretched outward from the ring, turning into a three-foot round shield that fit the back of the hand in less than a breath.

Yang Hao was very excited, and shouted Shi Liang to find a brick outside the door, and smashed it more than a dozen times, but he didn't see the light shield deformed. After that, the two tried various methods, but they could not cause damage to them.

"Aoxue Sect really lives up to its reputation," Yang Hao sighed, "Uncle our ring's ring is not cheap." ”

"What, you still want to exchange money?"

"That's not it, how can you give it up, by the way, how can this shield be removed? It's inconvenient to hold it. ”

"Second uncle didn't tell me."

"If you don't tell me, you won't ask! Oh my God, do I have to hold it all the time? Oh, my God! Yang Hao looked at the translucent shield on his wrist and shouted in despair.

After about two incense sticks, the single-use energy to maintain the shield was finally exhausted, and the light shield slowly retracted back to its original ring appearance. It's just that when Yang Hao's ring is compared with Shi Liang's unused ring, it can be clearly seen that the fire crystal on the ring has dimmed a lot. It seems that this ring shield will not be used a few times, and it will need to be recharged. However, the charging method is currently a secret that Shi and Yang have not yet been able to access.

The night became more and more quiet, Yang Hao did not wait for the shield ring to recover, he lay on his side, holding the shield and falling asleep, he was already snoring loudly at this moment. Shi Liang lay on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about the secret that Jiang Lan had told him. The plague in Sishuitun is obviously related to the Key Clan, and according to Jiang, the key element infected by the villagers has a special imprint, and she cannot absorb and transform. Therefore, we must find a way to find the hidden key, otherwise, all the villagers suffering from purple eye will be swallowed by the key qi, and eventually die like Lao Zhangtou. Thinking of the Sishui villagers who were quite kind to him these days, it wouldn't be long before they would go crazy one after another, Shi Liang's heart couldn't help but tighten.

At night, in the command room where the lights were still on, two reports of doctors about the villagers who were shot by Wu Kai during the day had been released, and Shi Guangzhong and other important officials sat around the table and circulated them one after another.

"After the two died, within a stick of incense, the body, especially the abdomen, was swollen in many places, and the organs in the abdomen were squeezed and ruptured by the gas. The bones of the corpse were broken in a mesh shape, and the internal bone marrow had been eroded in a large area, and about two hours after being killed, the flesh and blood slowly dried up, releasing key qi. Chang Tian read it softly, his tone was a little tired, and he seemed to think of something and asked Wu Kai who was sitting next to him softly: "What to do with the corpse now?" ”

Wu Kai explained in a low voice: "In order to prevent the spread of key qi, the body has been cremated. ”

Shi Guangzhong glanced at everyone and made sure that everyone had finished reading it, then got up and said: "Judging from the doctor's corpse examination, the main harm of this key qi disease is the erosion of bone marrow and flesh, and the longer the infection, the more serious the erosion. In the end, it is likely to be the same as Zhang Caifa's old man, going crazy, turning into anger, and leaving a human skin. ”

After Shi Guangzhong finished speaking, Wu Kai got up and added: "From the comparison of the erosion of the two corpses, it can be seen that the speed is related to the bone density, and the older you are, the faster the bone erosion rate. ”

"Now among the villagers, the older ones and those in poor health seem to be the most dangerous." Chang Tian said.

Shi Guangzhong nodded when he heard this, pinched the bridge of his nose, and cheered up to arrange the next stage of work: "Peng Hu, you work hard, take your brothers to the inner village, and all the villagers who are over forty or weak will be centrally resettled and managed in a unified manner." After speaking, he paused, as if he thought of something, glanced at Wu Kai, and commanded;" Xiao Wu, I remember that there is a newborn baby, just in case, you take two doctors to check it again, and if there is a problem, take measures immediately. ”

After explaining the important deployment, Shi Guangzhong pointed to several key points on the defense map and said: "All the fierce soldiers continue to be on duty at five points, and the two groups take turns to rest. ”

After arranging all the work, Shi Guangzhong waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's all for today, let's disperse, it's all hard work." ”

"Report!" In the command room at night, Shi Guangzhong was just about to turn off the lights when a report came from outside the door.

Shi Guangzhong got up and put on a smock, and ordered, "Come in." ”

A regular servant hurriedly walked in the door, took a breath and reported: "The head of the report, the martial arts row has spread that a thief from the Sun family has infiltrated, his right hand has been abolished, and after robbing the baby boy, he fled to the southwest!" ”

Shi Guangzhong pinched his thigh when he heard this, cheered up and quickly got up to put on it, and at the same time commanded: "Blow a first-level alarm!" ”

"Woo! Woo! Woo! With the sound of a tight piccolo, the villages in Sishuitun were lit up from the periphery to the inside, and within a few breaths. Shi Liang Yang Hao got up and got dressed and hurriedly went out. At this time, the roads in the outer villages were already full of people, and Shi Guangzhong directly brought half of the garrison of Yujieyi this time, and the first-level alarm sounded, and all the staff entered the stage of combat preparation. After a while, the fierce armor soldiers stationed nearby had finished their armor.

"Whoosh!" A signal light from the southwest crossed the sky, and a number of combat heavy mechs rose into the sky, jumped into the air and then made an emergency stop, turned around to adjust the direction, and the flames flashed into multiple lines of fire and flew towards the signal.
