Chapter 217 Underground Laboratory
Because of the infected people raging on the street, the door of the inn was closed tightly, and tables and chairs seemed to be used to block it inside. Everyone knocked for a while before the door opened.
"Come in!" The person who opened the door was a student from Teacher Tie's group.
Everyone filed in and found that in addition to the shopkeeper and waiter, there were also many armed martial arts people guarding the lobby. Obviously, they also saw the danger of infected people and temporarily used the inn as a stronghold to defend themselves against invading infected people.
“Where are Uncle Tie and the others?” Deng Qian asked.
"Other brothers are assembling the carriage in the backyard, and Uncle Tie has gone to meet Brother Li and the others..."
Li Xinyu's team lives relatively far away, and Tie Jinggang was probably worried that they would not be able to come alone, so he went there in person Go to the reception.
After all, the carriages are all at Yunlai Inn. Even if they want to leave, they have to gather here first.
"I'll go to the backyard and take a look. Deng Qian, please lead them here to guard the front hall!" Song Shan ordered and walked towards the back door.
"Okay!" Deng Qian immediately asked everyone to seal the doors and windows to prevent infected people from rushing into the inn.
"I advise you not to act rashly..." A person from the Jianghu holding an iron gun advised: "What happened this time is weird. The demons outside kill people when they see them, and the people they kill will turn into zombies. I don't know why. What kind of magic..."
"If you don't leave, are you waiting to die here?" Song Shan snorted coldly.
“Can’t you see it yet?” Another double-sword heroine said: “This is obviously a conspiracy of the Demon Cult. With such a big commotion in the city, Qingfeng Village will definitely come to clean up the situation! Although these zombies and monsters are ferocious, they are only capable of that. We can't fight them alone. If the people from Qingfeng Village come, they will definitely be able to eliminate them!"
Qingfeng Village has been operating here for decades. There are nearly a thousand gang members, and they are all very powerful. These infected people mainly spread the virus by scratching and biting. Experts in the Peiyuan realm are basically immune to their attacks. As long as there are enough manpower, it is not difficult to deal with them.
Not to mention that Shannan Town has a total population of more than 10,000, not to mention that only a few are infected now. Even if they are all infected, Qingfeng Village may not be able to deal with it.
But students from the main world know that things are not that simple.
Most of what they have seen so far are ordinary infected people like zombies, and a few will mutate into first-order mutants with sharp limbs and tails... But the power of the eternal virus is far more than that... …
Although I have never been to [Wasteland], I can occasionally see relevant information on the forum. Without human intervention, the Eternal Virus is infected wantonly, and the possible variants can reach up to the fourth level!
Among the first-level mutants, ordinary people will basically die if they encounter them without firearms. However, practitioners in the solid realm can still compete with cold weapons and are careful not to be injured.
The second-level mutant is an enhanced version of the first-level variant. If the Qi of the Peiyuan realm is not strong enough, it may be penetrated and injured.
At the third level, the mutants will become larger and stronger, and at least masters at the high-level cultivation realm or even the mind-condensing realm can compete with them.
If it mutates to the fourth level, it can already be called a monster, with top-notch combat power and infection ability. No matter what kind of master you are, if you don’t have the confidence to kill it from a distance, If you encounter it, it's best to avoid it.
The combat power of this kind of monster is second. If you are not careful and you are infected by it, without the anti-venom serum, even the most powerful person may not be able to resist it...
Of course, if it is just one In a small town with a size of 10,000 to 20,000 people, the chance of a fourth-level infected person being born is very slim... But if the spread continues, second-level, or even third-level infections may appear, and the level of danger will rise sharply by then!
What's more, it is still unknown why the Eternal Virus appeared in [Wulin]. Who knows what kind of mutations have occurred with the virus that can be infected here, and whether it can be dealt with using previous experience...
"Whatever you want..." Deng Qian said: "We have to leave anyway. If you want to escape from this town, you can come with us and take care of each other... This may be the last chance!"
At this time, a student came back from the backyard: "Senior Sister Deng, everything is done. Senior Brother Song will lead people to watch the carriage and let me inform you."
"Okay, now we will wait for the iron. Uncle Master brought Senior Brother Li and the others over for a round." Deng Qian nodded and looked at the students in the lobby: "Let's stay here for now, everyone, watch the doors and windows, don't let the infected take advantage of them!"
The square shape of the inn lobby is obvious at a glance. In addition to students, many martial arts people also participated in the defense. Everyone extinguished their lights and kept quiet. As for the ordinary guests upstairs, they were also under the threat of this group of armed Jianghu people. Dare to speak out, but for a while it didn't attract the infected.
As for the backyard, it is only separated from the front hall by a door. Songshan can take care of anything at any time.
Taking this opportunity, Luo Jun came to the corner of the lobby, took out a round white patch, and stuck it on his temple.
Suddenly, the scenery in front of him changed. In addition to the inn lobby, he could also see the streets where monsters were raging and screaming. It felt like a split-screen scene when playing a game. It was very magical.
Yes, this disc is also a Noble Phantasm, an ordinary-level consumable, collected from the wilderness. The disc is divided into two pieces, which are usually stuck together, with one side black and one white. After being separated, no matter where the black piece is stuck, as long as the white piece is stuck to the temple, you can see the corresponding spot of the black piece. scene.
And if the black and white pieces are attached to two people respectively, the two people can communicate remotely.
To put it simply, it can be understood as a hidden camera with voice function. What Luo Jun sees now is that the street scene is constantly sweeping back, and it is obvious that the black piece is attached to some movable object. In the field of vision, both the wandering infected and the fleeing residents ignored the object with the black patch on it, and let it pass by without any reaction.
It's simple, because Luo Jun's black film is attached to an invisible object.
Tomb King!
That’s right, Luo Jun just took out the urn under the pretense of peeing, released the Tomb King, and put a black piece on the Tomb King’s forehead.
In this way, the invisible Tomb King wanders around the town, and Luo Jun can see what is happening in the town even if he stays in a safe place.
Soon, the Tomb King came to the source of everything, the oil mill that was still on fire.
"Go in and take a look!" Luo Jun put his fingers on his temples and ordered secretly.
The Tomb King naturally did not dare to disobey, and entered the fire scene invisibly. The death aura around him merged into a dark wind, resisting the flames in the high temperature fire scene.
Instead of rescuing the townspeople who are being chased by monsters, only by figuring out the source of this eternal virus can we solve the problem fundamentally. What's more, Luo Jun is also very curious as to why the virus on the other side of the ocean in the Wasteland will cause disaster in the Wulin.
After the explosion and violent burning, nothing intact could be seen in the oil mill, but as he went deeper, Luo Jun saw several charred corpses.
Most of them looked like ordinary people, but one of them had already developed limbs and a tail. It was obviously a first-order mutant!
People infected with the eternal virus can walk on fire because they don’t know pain. They will die if they are burned for too long...
As they continue to walk forward, there are more and more charred corpses. Until the end, under a charred corpse, Luo Jun saw a destroyed iron door...
"Basement?" Luo Jun frowned: "Go down and take a look!"
< br>The Tomb King obeyed, removed the body, opened the iron door of the basement, and walked in while remaining invisible.
Under the cover is a staircase going downwards. Through the firelight coming from above, one can see a very huge space, almost no smaller than the oil mill above. It was supported by thick pillars, and there were rows of shelves holding various bottles and cans.
At the foot of the stairs, there are many rabbit cages, but the things in them can hardly be called rabbits. Their bodies have undergone varying degrees of mutation. Although they are all dead, the splatters of blood in the cages indicate that they must have endured great pain during their lifetimes.
Because the flames spread upward, the basement was not affected, but the high temperature above still made the temperature here extremely high, like a huge stew oven.
Fortunately, the Tomb King is an undead creature, so there is no pain. The water on his body has been evaporated long ago, and the spell can also reduce the temperature. There is no inconvenience in moving here.
"What are these..." The Tomb King walked through the rows of shelves and found that some of the utensils placed on them were common pottery pots and porcelain bottles in this world, and some were actually glass utensils, and they were shaped like It is also very similar to those instruments used in chemical experiments.
It is not difficult to make glass in the [Martial Arts] world, but the problem is that the shape of these vessels obviously shows that the owner here comes from the main world!
The Gate of Wulin is in the hands of the Yuan Xiu Hui. To enter here, you must go through the review and registration of the Yuan Xiu Hui. If the Yuan Xiu Hui investigates, this guy's identity will definitely be found out.
The key now is whether that guy is still here...
The temperature in the basement is so high. Although the Gangqi of the Peiyuan Realm can insulate the high temperature from being roasted to death, the virus The outbreak has been going on for a while, and the owner here must have left long ago...
But we should be able to find some clues...
Luo Jun ordered the Tomb King to move forward, and finally found a huge experimental platform in the deepest part of the basement.
Here is...
Ordering the Tomb King to step forward, Luo Jun saw various instruments stacked on the experimental table, which also contained unknown solutions. Next to it, there are two notebooks and a small pen next to them.
Different from [Wulin]'s brushes, this one has a sharp and hard tip, which is obviously more in line with modern people's writing habits. The shape is somewhat similar to a fountain pen, but the structure is simple, and there is an inkstone next to it...
Is it a dip pen, writing with a steel pen tip dipped in local ink?
In order not to attract attention, explorers who are stationed in [Wulin] must learn brush calligraphy and try to use local writing tools in daily life.
But even after training, most people in the main world are not used to using brushes, especially when they need to record a large amount of information quickly. The writing speed and recording density of brushes are not as good as hard pens, at least in the hands of people in the main world. so.
I specially made such a dip pen. It seems that this owner has a lot to record...
Luo Jun took his attention away from the pen and ordered the Tomb King to take it Pick up the notebook and look through it.
