Chapter 420 The Arrogant Plaguebringer
"How's it going?"
Ron quickly stepped into the war conference room, where Tucker and others were already waiting.
On the territory star map in mid-air, red dots light up from time to time, which means that another area has discovered the plague or is being attacked by the presence of the plague.
Now, the plague has spread to many areas.
The star map changes all the time, with new red dots appearing from time to time, but also red dots disappearing.
Because the defense system of the Savior's Territory has been activated, almost all relevant departments are in operation and have begun to extinguish the plague.
"Lord Savior, all planets have entered a state of emergency, and the Ministry of Military Affairs and medical treatment teams are in place..."
Taco reported methodically.
Since the territory has been fully prepared for war in advance, large hospitals and a large number of temporary treatment points, checkpoints, etc. have been established on each planet.
At the same time, a disinfection department has been established to decontaminate the affected areas.
These are all under the unified command of the temporarily established epidemic control department, and various departments act jointly to make every effort to eliminate this disaster.
Now, the Savior’s territory has been divided into many epidemic prevention areas.
From star districts, galaxies to various regions of the planet, it is divided layer by layer, down to the specific residential grid points and even each building, and specialized administrative personnel are arranged to manage it.
Countless grid points were united to establish a detailed intelligence network and plague data records.
Once signs of the plague appear, they will be immediately reported, the relevant areas sealed and quarantined, the movement of people reduced, and then investigated one by one to find out the infected persons and the source of infection.
Send them to a treatment facility.
At the same time, the Space Marine team and the disinfection force will arrive to deal with the intruders immediately and disinfect the entire area.
Other departments cooperated to maintain order and ensure the supply of relevant materials.
This is also the reason why plagues can be eradicated so quickly in many areas. Often, the disease is eliminated from the source before it spreads.
"We have also become the target of the plague lord..."
Ron looked at the area of the star map that kept turning red and then extinguishing, and sighed slightly.
Today, only the area near the Erth Holy Land world does not have any red dots and is operating normally.
As the core world, this is the only area in the entire territory that covers the sacred tower in all directions, and the sacred light shines almost everywhere.
Although doing this consumes a terrifying amount of resources, the effect is obvious to all.
The Holy Land of Erth has a solid barrier against Chaos. All evil and diseases have no escape, and no existence of Chaos dares to offend.
It also gives the territory a stable rear area that can respond to invasions in an orderly manner.
The only disadvantage is that it will cause the entire planet area to be in endless daylight, requiring artificial darkness to allow people to rest.
As for other planets, they are not so lucky.
Although most of the planets have built sacred towers, and there will be more on key planets, they can only protect some core areas.
Let these planets be able to resist for a longer time when facing invasion and persist until rescue arrives.
In other words, they will still be invaded, but they will not fall easily.
Ron was sitting in the conference room, listening to reports from various regions. Regions were recovered one after another, but new plagues appeared.
It seems endless.
Even if the territory is processed extremely quickly and there are almost no casualties, the sum of many planet areas is still a very scary number.
In just one week, hundreds of millions of people died.
If this is the case in the Savior Territory, then other empire regions are even more terrifying, and countless lives are perishing.
All this will give Nurgle, the Lord of Plague, unimaginable power!
Even though he had been prepared, the terror of the Plague Lord still exceeded everyone's expectations.
Ron thought of something and asked: "How is the situation with the Prince Regent?"
"The medical troops we sent have assisted Ultramar in establishing a hospital world on Yax, and have also set up medical points on more planets."
Taco flipped through the information: "The Regent also listened to your suggestions and especially strengthened Yax's defense."
"Please make arrangements to send a new batch of medical supplies to the Prince Regent as soon as possible."
Ron ordered.
Lao Ji's side is the main battlefield for the invasion of Nurgle forces, and the pressure is expected to be even greater.
Especially Yax.
If it cannot be defended, it will become a paradise for plague and give birth to the divine plague, a terrible thing that can kill the primarch instantly.
Just one tube can destroy the entire galaxy and there is no way to save it!
Now, Ron probably already knows the purpose of Nurgle's forces, which is to use a steady stream of attacks to hold back and continuously weaken the power of the Savior's territory.
This makes it difficult for the Savior Territory to support other areas.
He only hoped that he could quickly extinguish the plague in his territory, and then use his hands to save other worlds, especially Ultramar.
"Continue to increase the scope of the search, we are running out of time..."
Ron gave the order.
Let the psykers and think tanks expand the scope of the search and find the source of the plague as soon as possible.
Such continuous plague attacks must be closely related to the subspace.
Maybe it's some kind of terrible plague life form, or maybe it's a special weapon developed by the giant moth Molita'an.
After that, he went to the Plague Research Institute-O'Neill through the webway, a planet dedicated to researching plagues and producing treatment drugs.
The results developed there will become the key to resisting the plague.
……
Plague Institute, Laboratory.
Zi——
Ron passed through several sterilization devices and was sprayed with special sterilizing gas before he successfully reached the deep experimental area.
After he came in, he saw batch after batch of petri dishes, and a large number of rotting lives with stinking yellow mist were locked in reinforced glass columns.
Those are the pathogens that carry the plague.
Occasionally, you can still hear the wails from the decaying life forms, which have been injected with various drugs and used for experiments.
Many of the plague treatment drugs and disinfectants used in the Savior's Territory today are the results of this research institute, which can be said to have saved countless lives.
However, this alone is not enough.
He hopes to get more effective treatment drugs or weapon reagents.
"Lord Savior..."
Wanbian Healer hurried over to salute, feeling a little nervous.
The plague war broke out ahead of schedule, and the institute has not yet been able to deliver the promised results. There are only a few days left before the five-year deadline.
The great savior invested massive resources and placed high hopes on this planet.
If it fails, O'Neill's researchers really don't know how to face that existence.
That is a betrayal to everyone and is an unforgivable crime!
Ron's attitude was gentle, and he raised his hand slightly to indicate to the ever-changing healer that he should not be restrained.
He asked: "How far has your experiment progressed?"
"The Black Abyss Base has given out the latest plague data. We have made a new potion based on that data, and the results will be available soon."
The Wan Chang Healer narrated: "Once the injection test is successful, we will have a powerful drug weapon that can be quickly put into production..."
Ron was looking forward to hearing this.
This is what he wants.
There is a deadly plague on the side of Nurgle's kind father, so he makes a super plague killer here, a medicinal weapon that combines the energy of the small sun, the energy of the sacred sun and many medicines.
That thing can deal with most known plagues.
When the plague killer is mass-produced, it will be able to disinfect large areas of relevant areas, which will be more effective, and it will also cause more harm to the life of Nurgle.
Sterilize them well!
However, before he could be happy for long, the All-Change Healer received new information, and a violent arc of electricity erupted on the mechanical body.
He looked a little emotional.
"What's wrong?"
Ron frowned and had a bad feeling.
Afterwards, the voice of the great biological sage came:
"Lord Savior...the experiment failed. The latest pharmaceutical reagent failed to achieve the desired effect..."
In front of the glass cage.
Ron looked at the things imprisoned inside, which were the seven chosen ones by Nurgle, including ordinary civilians, nobles, and evildoers of the Corruption Cult.
Nothing can be seen from their appearance, but these guys without exception carry a deadly plague that is enough to corrupt the entire planet.
What’s even more frightening is that ordinary detection instruments cannot detect it at all.
Fortunately, the Demon Tribunal found them in time, and the arrest method was not too complicated.
Now the Savior Territory has established a monitoring system as a whole, and citizens are also aware of Chaos.
Especially the enthusiastic masses of certain faithful parishes.
If you see someone mumbling strange numbers, report them immediately to the Demon Tribunal and catch them.
Or play sacred music praising the Emperor in the entire suspected area, allowing everyone to praise the Emperor, chant the Emperor's divine name, and then implicitly call the Plague Lord a Dash*.
Anyone who fails to comply will be arrested directly.
If that doesn't work, just go to the sacred tower to bask in the sun together and see who has special symptoms.
After such a complete set, there is basically no mistake.
Afterwards, the Demon Tribunal sent these Nurgle chosen ones here as important experimental materials.
These Nurgle chosen ones have been injected with the latest drugs.
Although there were burn marks on their bodies, they did not cause much damage. There was no doubt that the experiment failed.
Although those medicines have the effect of treating epidemic diseases, they cannot resist the more powerful plague life.
"Forty-nine..."
"Ten...five..."
The Chosen Ones of Nurgle were alive and well, wandering around the isolation room, showing a smile from time to time, and then revealing the numbers related to the Holy Number of the Father.
But the next second. They returned to normal and begged people outside to let them out.
Boom——
A noble-looking Nurgle Chosen one hit the glass, groaning in pain and staring at the existence outside.
Although it was a one-way mirror, he seemed to be able to see outside.
"One"
said the noble.
The circles under his eyes turned dark and he counted the numbers seriously: "Two...five, six..."
Along with the numbers, maggot-like creatures swam under the skin of the nobleman until they gushed out of his eyeballs and pus flowed from his mouth.
His skin was cracking, his fingers twisting, his skin melting like wax.
Behind the nobles, other Nurgle Chosen people gathered around, as if reminding in unison: "Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven!"
Even if this isolation room has been isolated and silenced, and multiple isolation measures have been used, it can even attract the holy light of the sacred sun at any time.
I still can't resist all the influences.
Those voices were conveyed, making people feel chilled in their hearts.
"Seven!!!"
The noble raised his hand and pointed outward, roaring like a demon.
His back swelled up, and a rotten and thick horn slowly appeared through his forehead, twisting upward.
The pain intensified for Nurgle's Chosen One, but he chuckled, no longer bothered by it.
Because he has become the messenger of the plague, the released flies and germs are raging in the isolation room, and the rotten bacteria slowly grow out.
The plague messenger looked straight outside, as if he saw the savior.
"Life belongs to corruption, you can't stop it..."
He maintained an indescribably sarcastic smile.
It was a silent mockery. The savior had nothing to do with the plague and could only destroy but not cure it.
Corruption is always endless, and there will always be new plagues, just like the life of nature.
"How long will it take... for you to conduct the next drug experiment?"
Ron took a deep breath and asked.
He knew that it was a provocation from the Plague Lord or a certain Nurgle Demon behind him, and he could also make the Plaguebringer die in torture.
But that means nothing.
Ron hoped to kill the opponent with the medicine or potion weapon he had envisioned, and asked the plague bringer to drink the medicine and drink him to death!
The All-Changing Healer was a little depressed, and the electronic voice became low: "Our research direction has gone wrong, and we need to verify a large amount of data and start a new path.
The entire research process will probably take at least one standard Terran year, and the success of the experiment cannot be guaranteed. ”
The biological sage answered the question truthfully.
In scientific and technological research, it is extremely troublesome if the research direction is wrong.
That means that most of the previous efforts have been wasted, and more time will be spent in the follow-up. Especially within the Mechanicus, such a wrong direction may waste tens or hundreds of years.
It even makes a technical priest spend his whole life inactive.
The Plague Research Institute has the support of many planets and can rely on a large amount of manpower and material resources to shorten the research time, and the impact is not that big.
But the problem is that the Savior Territory can’t wait that long.
What if the next experiment fails again?
The ever-changing doctor lowered his head, not daring to face the disappointed eyes of the savior. He had failed this existence.
However, Ron did not blame the great biological sage, and even his expression did not change much.
Scientific experiments are always accompanied by failure, which he had expected.
What's more, he already has a plan.
Ron looked at the ever-changing healer and reminded: "You should ask for help from greater wisdom, maybe you can get the right answer."
"Are you talking about the great mechanical goddess?"
The Wanbian Healer shook his head and sighed vaguely: "My Goddess Mechanical, we have tried our best, but the result is still the same..."
He did not dare to blaspheme the mechanical goddess.
In fact, the mechanical goddess Xiaoling has analyzed and provided all biological data and computing resources, including the valuable knowledge provided by the goddess of life Aisha.
But unfortunately, it is still too difficult to research such high-level drugs. After all, we are fighting against the plague bacteria created by the Plague Lord.
Even if you use the sacred energy of the small sun and the sacred sun, it is still a bit difficult.
Maybe it's because I can't use such great power?
The ever-changing healer thought so.
"No, I am not referring to the mechanical goddess, nor anything else, but the most intelligent and knowledgeable being in the universe.
The Library of that Being contains all knowledge that has ever existed or will ever exist. ”
Ron said calmly, meaning: "If it is Him, he will definitely be able to help you find the correct answer..."
The Wan Bian Healer's expression suddenly changed as he listened.
Because the words of the savior pointed to a certain terrifying existence in the subspace.
A chaotic evil god who masters change, curiosity, creativity, knowledge and magic - the Lord of Change, Tzeentch!
"You mean... ten thousand... no, you believe me, I will never make such a mistake!"
The Wanbian Healer was a little panicked.
Everyone knows that the technical priests are most afraid of and taboo about that existence. Although he can bring knowledge, he will create more chaos and errors.
Leading seekers of knowledge to confusion and a miserable fate.
What's more, this is an extremely serious accusation, and no serious technical priest wants to have anything to do with that being.
He glanced at the entrance, fearing that someone from the Inquisition would suddenly rush in and take him away for tea or be imprisoned in a terrible prison deep underground.
"Did the savior notice something?"
Countless data and speculations flashed through the electronic brain of the ever-changing doctor, and he felt that the savior was testing him.
That Being is so perceptive and understands everything.
In just a few breaths, the great sage's psychological defense collapsed.
The ever-changing doctor knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness: "Lord Savior, I did feel the existence of that taboo, but I never dared to go beyond it.
My loyalty to you has never changed! ”
In order to study the medicine to resist the plague, he was under tremendous pressure and was extremely eager to have more knowledge to achieve all this.
Especially recently, I have frequently felt a blue changing figure.
The terrifying Chaos Evil God was tempting him, trying to give him the knowledge he longed for, as if with that knowledge, he could create the perfect medicine he dreamed of to fight the plague.
However, he adhered to his loyalty to the savior and firmly refused again and again.
No matter how much the Chaos Evil God tempted or even made him angry, he never did anything disloyal, never!
The moment the All-Changing Healer knelt down, his detection device scanned the new arrivals, which were a group of high-level judges from the Demonic Tribunal!
They walked in quickly and aggressively.
"Lord Savior, I am willing to accept punishment..."
The All-Changing Healer seemed to have lost his strength, and his electronic eyes dimmed. In any case, his mind had been exposed to an unclean existence.
Even if you do nothing, you are mentally disloyal.
"What punishment?"
Ron shook his head and quickly helped the other person up: "The territory needs talents like you now!"
As they spoke, the high-ranking judges of the Demonic Tribunal bowed slightly, quickly plundered from the two of them, and then formed a formation to guard in front of the isolation room.
They were just ordered to guard this place to avoid any accidents.
"Aren't you here to catch me?"
The All-Change Healer seemed relieved.
"Of course not. You said you saw the blue birdman?"
Ron was very satisfied: "It seems that my guess is correct. I will make an altar later, and you can go to the Lord of Changes to communicate and seek answers..."
"Huh?"
The All-Changing Healer screamed in surprise, a little unbelievable, and did not dare to respond for a moment. The Demonic Tribunal is still there!
The laboratory fell into silence.
When those high-level tribunals heard the key words, they subconsciously clenched their weapons and cast cold gazes, and then slowly turned their heads one after another.
They heard nothing and knew nothing.
There must be a reason for the great savior to do this. Otherwise, would they still be able to arrest the savior? !
Ron also felt that this was not a good idea, so he took the ever-changing healer to a more hidden area and emphasized the issue again.
Let the other person know that you are serious.
Now, Nurgle, who is also one of the Four Chaos Gods of Warp, has become rich and has become the most powerful existence.
Although Tzeentch often teases the Blood God or is beaten by him.
But his real enemy is actually Nurgle, and the competition between the two sides is the most fierce.
Tzeentch represents innovation, change, transformation and chaos, while Nurgle represents the completely opposite ideology - one who has no choice but to accept the pessimism and despair of the status quo and indulge in it to find joy.
This is why Tzeentch was so hesitant after the Plague War began.
He is desperately trying to stop Nurgle.
This guy even approached the All-Change Healer who was researching plague treatments and tried to give him knowledge.
It seemed like he was really anxious.
I guess now I’m going to ask the Lord of Changes about things related to Nurgle, and I’ll be sure to ask you for sure, because I’m afraid you won’t believe me.
But be honest.
"Then...what should I do?"
The All-Changing Healer felt a little worried. Even though he was a great sage, he was still inevitably afraid after knowing that he was going to face an evil god of chaos.
Ron comforted the other person: "You don't have to worry, I will go with you and bless your soul."
With his current strength, he can still cover a mortal's soul.
This time, part of his soul will also go to the Crystal Maze to take a look. In addition to protecting his own talents, he also wants to see if he can harvest some wool.
There are not many opportunities like this...
