Chapter 538: T-Virus?
"Yes." Gavin generously admitted, "It's just that what she said is only the most superficial thing, can you help us introduce this Arms and his bone dragon in detail?" Aren't bone dragons all a bunch of unintelligent puppets? How can you hurt a lady so badly? β
Ye Shandara's strength is not weak, he is also a quasi-legend, and it is precisely because of his tenacious life that he can resist the erosion of this strange toxin, if he were an ordinary person, he would have died a long time ago.
The Bone Dragon sounds very ferocious and powerful at first glance, but in fact it is not worthy of its name, because it is a dragon-type skeleton made of dragon bones, and only retains some of the dragon's special abilities, such as ferocity or mastery of grappling, etc., while supernatural abilities, spell-like special attacks, and the dragon's famous dragon breath are lost.
In addition, there is no IQ, and the strength is only half of the peak, even if it is a bone dragon formed by the corpse of an ancient dragon, the combat effectiveness is very limited, and it is estimated that it is about the same as an adult dragon of the same kind.
Gavin was the least afraid of dealing with such an unintelligent enemy, and when he heard that the powerful force that Grace showed off was a bone dragon, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
The special situation of Yesandara forced Gavin to re-examine it, and from her wounds, he felt a familiar smell and breathβthe smell of corruption, belonging to the corrupt god of Moredor .
Her symptoms are very similar to the festering blight, whether it is or not, and it is up to Half Moon Ju to help determine that she is a professional in this area.
"This matter, let me talk about it, the injuries on the regiment commander's body are related to his own emotions, once too many negative emotions are generated, the injuries will be aggravated." Fan Rena took the initiative to speak, "Most bone dragons are indeed as you say, but Agsha is a skeleton dragon with intelligence, it is said that she was an extremely vicious black dragon when she was alive, after being killed by a group of dragon slayers, she was unwilling to give up her treasure, and made a deal with a certain abyss lord, imprisoned her dragon soul back into her bones, and transformed into a bone dragon, nicknamed Razor Claw, and even had more power than before her death.
What really made her unusual was when she got along with the necromancer Ames.
Arms has always been committed to researching all kinds of plagues, especially once they spread, which can turn all infected people into zombies, and can constantly evolve into a more powerful undead plague virus......"
After Gavin listened to it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "T virus? β
The Resident Evil series is so successful that it has embedded the concept of virus zombies in people's hearts, and when they hear similar descriptions, they immediately think of it.
"What T-virus?" The people present were at a loss.
"It's okay, it's just that from what you said, something comes to mind, you continue." Gavin's face is still not very good-looking, if the T virus is placed on the earth, it is definitely a science fiction or fantasy existence, it only exists in the imagination, and it is really difficult to succeed, just saying that a conservation of energy will limit many things.
But in Faeron, there are basic conditions for this kind of thing to exist.
The magic power and the negative energy of the shadow plane are enough to provide it with the most basic energy support, not to mention that Faeron itself exists in similar viruses, epidemics, and the like.
Once someone thinks of a topic in this area and spends time and energy on it, the problem is relatively large.
Even if it doesn't lead to the destruction of the entire world like in the game and the movie - this is a world with countless extraordinary means and the real existence of the gods, even if the T-virus outbreak is large-scale, it will be a local disaster at best, and it will be difficult to evolve into a continent-wide or even global disaster, but before everyone reacts, it is not impossible to come to a zombie siege.
Especially in the army of conquerors led by himself, the population is so dense, most of them are ordinary civilians, what he is most afraid of is this kind of thing, the lethality is too great.
Yeshandara and Fan Rena didn't know much about Gavin, so they didn't think about it deeply, but Veranika was different, knowing that although her lord was not very old, the city government was deep, and what could make him lose his temper on this occasion was definitely not an ordinary thing, but now, it was obviously not a suitable opportunity to discuss this matter, so he could only write it down silently and postpone it.
"After Arms occupied Ivanthor, he drove the citizens and the undead to establish a huge virus experimental base for him underground, and has been engaged in secret research here, and they do rarely use Ivancy Cosmos citizens for experiments, but in other cities on the Dragon Coast, a large number of people go missing every year, and many of them are traced to the end, all of them have traced Avansor and traced to Arms, do you know why our rebels are called Avengers?" Fan Rena gritted with a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said with unconcealed hatred in her eyes, "We are the relatives of those missing people, and we have gathered to avenge them in order to trace the traces of our relatives, and Arms and Ivanaor are one of them, if not the culprits who caused their disappearance." β
Gavin didn't interrupt her this time because the other person was pulling her away, and was pretty much sure that what she was saying was the truth.
Since the study of epidemic diseases, there is no way to avoid the inevitable step of live experimentation.
If you don't do it to the citizens of Ivendo, you can only do it to outsiders.
In this way, what Grace said is very likely to be true, and their reputation in Ivantil may be really good, and many citizens of Evantil are genuinely supportive of them.
This is not only happening to Avanshor, but also to many evil forces.
Many robbers not only do not rob the villages around their lair, but will be unusually kind to them, often help them, and even scatter some of the goods they have looted to them, and when the officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress these robbers, those villages that have received their favors will not only not help, but will even take the initiative to report the news, and will provide military help in the extreme.
It is often said that rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest.
This does not mean that these bandits have become good people.
In the same way, it does not mean that all the missing people on the Dragon Coast are Evantel's cauldron.
This place is a chaotic place, murder between the same kind, human trafficking, secret hunting of monsters, robbers and pirates, etc., are the causes of human disappearance, especially human trafficking occupies the absolute main reason, and there are many countries in Faeron that have not abolished slavery, the most typical representatives are Kalinshan and Serre.
If there is a sale, there will naturally be harm.
Ivanael did not necessarily find the test by taking people into captives, but it was more pleasant to buy them directly from the slave traders, because in the slave market, the price of a human slave was not even comparable to that of an animal, which was due to the low cost of slaves, many of which had no breeding costs.
Fan Rena took a deep breath and calmed her mind before continuing: "Arms used the results of his experiments on those undead soldiers, especially the bone dragon Agsha, we were ambushed by them in the process of sabotaging their trade with slave traders, and the regimental commander was injured by Agsha's sneak attack in order to save me. β
"To what extent has the plague virus of Arms been studied? Is there a capacity for mass contagion? Like by biting or something? "Gavin's primary concern is the plague.
"The plague virus in my body is very difficult, it is not only contagious in the body, but also erodes the soul and entangles with my negative emotions, which causes it to recur and be difficult to completely eradicate." It was Yesandara herself who answered Gavin this time, "But so far, it has not shown the ability to spread, and only when it is hit by Agsha's claws, teeth, and saw wings." β
Veranika asked, "This kind of poisonous attack, only that skull dragon has?" Or do all their undead soldiers have it? β
"At the moment, only the bone dragon has it, but it is rumored that Arms recently made a secret deal with a ghost woman in the Swamp of the Far Sea, and purchased from them a method of making undead creatures called Bone Claws, which is said to be a very powerful undead creature, which is the undead soldier that Arms uses to carry this unique virus, but no one has ever actually seen it." Yesandala knew everything about Evantil, and they didn't hide it because they tried to win over Gavin and his army of conquerors, which would only overshadow the cooperation from the beginning.
As for what she said, it was certainly not a rumor, but an in-can't fully verify piece of information gathered by the spies they had planted in Ivantis.
"Bone Claw?" Gavin quickly retrieved information about the familiar name in his brain, and after a few seconds, he asked, "Has Ivantil been buying large humanoid corpses in large quantities lately?" β
This was more of a statement than a question, because not long ago, Grace's first deal was to try to buy a large number of troll corpses from him.
Ye Shandala thought about it for a while, and nodded involuntarily: "That's right, since last year, they have paid special attention to the corpses of large humanoids, and at the beginning of this year, they even sent an army of undead to try to go deep into the Giant Plains to collect corpses, which were destroyed by the people we brought people, and if you think about it seriously, their primary goal is the huge corpses on the Giant Plains, what's wrong?" Could it be that this matter has something to do with the bone claws I just mentioned? Adults have seen bone claws? Is it inconvenient to share? β
"If that's the case, then the bone claw you are talking about should be the same thing as the bone claw I know." Gavin's expression was a little heavy and said, "They are not skeleton soldiers made up of bones, but the legendary intelligent large undead creatures created by a legendary ghost woman's gathering, at least extraordinary starts, the claws in their hands are tens of centimeters long, hence the name, their combat power itself is very amazing, if combined with the epidemic poison specially prepared for them, it will be a very terrifying battlefield killing machine." β
"Intelligent Undead!" Yesandala's cheeks twitched involuntarily again.
The greatest flaw of the undead against intelligent beings is the lack of intelligence.
This gives intelligent beings a chance to defeat them.
But once the undead creature has intelligence, its threat skyrockets.
The characteristics of undead creatures make them immune to many means of control, and directly nullify many combat skills and special abilities.
Painless and unconscious, making them less affected on the battlefield.
If you add to this the combat experience and cunning wisdom before death, there is no need to say much about their terrifying nature.
Below the transcendental, at the same level, it is definitely the intelligent undead who wins.
When it comes to transcendence, as the ability and means of professionals increase, the victory or defeat is more unpredictable, and each has its own advantages.
But if it is added to the Ames Plague Virus Medicine, the nature is a little different, as a first-hand experiencer, she knows very well that the horror of this Plague Virus Medicine, if it weren't for the fact that among their Avengers, there is a master potion who tailors the inhibitory potion, she would not be a question of whether she will die or not, but it is very likely that she will be transformed into an immortal spirit who only obeys Ams's orders.
"Even if it is an undead, it must abide by the principle of equal exchange, this kind of extraordinary undead is certainly not something that ordinary people's bones can create, according to me, if you want to make bone claws, you must use the corpses of large humanoids, and you must have at least ten life dice before you die.
This alone makes them unable to use the undead's best tactics of crowds, but as an elite, to form an elite warband.
I just don't know, how many corpses of large-sized humanoids they have looted from this side of the Giant Plains, those monster tribes, but they don't have any moral bottom line, let alone enemies, even if they are their own tribes, they don't have any psychological burden when they sell them. β
This is the real point to worry about, the huge proportion on the Giant Plains is not very high at first glance, according to the data that Gavin and they currently have, the proportion is more than one in the twentieth.
However, it cannot support the large area of the entire Giant Plain, more than 500 kilometers from north to south, and more than 300 kilometers from east to west, and this piece alone is 150,000 square kilometers.
The Troll Mountain Range and the Giant Running Mountain Range are also shrouded in the same special laws as the Giant Plains, and their area is only much larger than the Giant Plains.
There are more than a million monsters of various races living on it, and in addition, there are many humanoids born like trolls and ogres, and the number is definitely more than imagined.
It is estimated that Arms saw the uniqueness of the Giant Plains, and only then did he trade with the ghost woman to make the production method of the bone claw.
You must know that the greed of the ghost woman is definitely no less than that of the devil of hell, and many of the ghost women are famous hell brokers and soul dealers, such as the old ghost woman.
Even more terrifying than a ghost woman is a gathering of ghost women who will definitely take the opportunity to extort your most precious treasures, and their transactions are always full of malice.
Many times, traders do find that their wishes have been granted, but in a terrifying way.
For example, a person who trades wealth with ghost women ends up being extremely poor all his life, until he dies and is buried in a mountain of gold.
You can't say that the ghost woman didn't keep the deal, it's just the way the deal was made, not the kind you wanted.
"I still have in my hands a piece of news that has not been fully verified, the research on the plague virus of Ames, and there is a new breakthrough, this new plague virus can be carried by ordinary undead soldiers, and if they are hit, they will become virus carriers.
These viruses do not serve any purpose during the lifetime of the carrier, and once they die, they become active, transforming corpses into plague zombies and joining their armies.
Such an undead army is very easy to create crowd tactics, and if it is combined with a certain number of bone claws to form an extraordinary war group, Ivanal's war strength is far beyond our imagination. Ye Shandala gritted her teeth and directly shook out all the information she had.
They were just a rebel army with no fixed home, and under the siege and suppression of Ivanthor, it was very difficult to replenish them in normal times.
There is no way to compete with Ivan Suo for financial resources, let alone the benefits that can make the other party excited.
As for the various promises made after the occupation of Ivanoso, they were just empty promises, and it might be useful to fool those enthusiastic members, but for a man who can control tens of thousands of people for his own use, saying them is just to make him laugh.
The most practical way to get him to join his side is to make him recognize the evil face of Arms, so that he can also feel threatened from it, after all, his territory is in the valley.
If you go around it by land, there are indeed more than 1,000 kilometers, but if you take the sea route, the distance in a straight line is not more than 500 kilometers.
A dragon lake alone will not be able to stop the plague.
After hearing this, Gavin's brow couldn't help but furrow.
This is a weakened zombie tactic.
This made him can't help but retrieve the memories about the Dragon Coast in his brain, and there is little new gain.
At the same point in time in his previous life, at this moment, he was still struggling to survive in the death arena of the Santarin Society, and he didn't know what happened at this point in time on the Dragon Coast.
After having a certain amount of freedom in the later period, he was mainly active in the Moon Sea area, the valley, and the side of Waterdeep.
When he crossed paths with Van Rena, it wasn't Gavin who went to the Dragon Coast, but Van Rina went to the Vale.
Therefore, it is not clear when Yeshandara and Van Rena seized the power of Ivana, nor how they did so, nor is it clear whether a large-scale plague broke out on this side of the Dragon Coast in the process, setting off a widespread war of the undead.
Since there is no more prophetic information to draw on, it is not used for reference, but it is completely treated as a normal thing, ignoring the role that Yeshandara can play in it, but simply as a source of information.
When this decision was made, Gavin was much more relaxed, so that things were much simpler, and he was free to play according to his own ideas, and said to Yesandara: "I have a little speculation about the plague in the lady's house, but I am not very sure, I need the help of more professional people, if you can, I hope you can come back with me to Misnoel, there are not only professionals, but also unique geographical advantages, maybe I can find a way to heal your injuries." β
