The days in the safe zone passed day by day, and the black flu finally spread in the Yancheng survivor base. Walking on the road, you can see people covering their mouths and noses with scarves and collars everywhere, and you can hear coughs everywhere.
According to statistics from the T City Research Institute, the fatality rate of this disease is around 3%. This figure is not low during the flu, and it makes the Yancheng survivor base, which is already short of manpower, even worse.
The black flu is as powerful as a small cold to ordinary people. It is not very serious and has a very low fatality rate. However, for people with super powers, the fatality rate of this disease is as high as 40% or more. It seems to be a virus specially designed to restrain people with super powers. .
People with special abilities are precious, and they cannot stop performing tasks, let alone be careless in the slightest. Before a vaccine was developed, more superpowers died of illness in the Yancheng Survivor Base than due to the mission itself. Every day, the bodies of superpowers were taken out and cremated.
Even Zhou Chenghua, Xiao Miao and others were in danger, but Minister Zhou had a straight face as before, making it impossible to see any fear.
At this time, another of Tan Yue's tasks was completed.
[Ding dong! The ninth task: Cultivating a school of pearl turtles is completed. Reward: 4000 energy points. 】
Tan Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "System, why did you give so much today?"
The system said coquettishly: [Isn't there a flu recently... The system will make it convenient for the host, and the host will save those patients...]
"I thought you would just issue the mission."
[Yeah, thank you host for the good ideas! Ding dong! Publish a side mission: Use the beaded turtle to quell the flu in the Yancheng survivor base. Reward: A pair of aura-powered hang gliders. 】
"..." Every time the system releases a temporary task, the rewards are very strange.
"Then let's go." Tan Yue said.
"Chen Xi! Let's go!"
"Meow~"
…
Tan Yue told Gu Zhuoran about the Pearl Turtle Fish, and the two went to the manor together.
The expansion of the manor has been completed, and the supernatural warriors who could be seen here a few days ago have disappeared, leaving only a small team of people protecting the safety of the manor.
Tan Yue went straight to the small lake. Unexpectedly, the turtle fish swam too fast and he couldn't catch it.
Suddenly, her sleeve was pulled.
"Qin...Qin Heng?"
The little dragon pointed at the lake with its wings and called out again.
"You mean, you can help catch fish?"
Xiaolong volunteered and called out.
Tan Yue put the little dragon in his hand on the ground, and saw it flying into the air, hovering over the lake, staring at the bottom of the lake with sharp eyes, suddenly swooping across the lake, and when it flew up again, the dragon's claws were caught A turtle fish with four eyes and six legs.
Tan Yue caught the big and lively fish, and the little dragon cried out and flew above the lake again.
The fish fell into her hand, squirmed for a moment, and spit out something covered in mucus from its mouth - Tan Yue took a closer look and saw that it was a pearl!
Gu Zhuoran watched with interest and said from time to time: "It's amazing."
"Dean Gu," she asked, "do you know how many superpowers there are in Yancheng Base?"
Gu Zhuoran thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, there are more than 2,400 people. What's wrong?"
Tan Yue felt ashamed. The number of superpowers in his base still needed to be known from the population of T City.
She was a little confused: "Eating pearl turtles can indeed make you immune to the black influenza, but we can't cultivate enough fish to feed more than 2,000 people in a short period of time."
"It's a question." Gu Zhuoran also started thinking.
Tan Yue suddenly thought of something, opened the card page of the system mall, and started rummaging around.
Sure enough, the beaded turtle is not the only creature that can resist the epidemic. There is also a kind of spiritual beast called Qing Geng Bird. It is recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" as "There is a bird, which looks like a magpie, with a green body and white beak, white eyes and white tail. It is called Qing Geng. It can ward off epidemics, and its song is from Call".
Tan Yue had a guess. She asked the system: "System, can the principle of Qinggongniao's disease prevention be understood as emitting a special kind of radiation that can stop the spread of infectious diseases within the radiation range?"
[The host guessed correctly. The special phenomenon about the green plowing bird recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is indeed a kind of radiation in nature. 】
"If this kind of radiation can be simulated and replicated, wouldn't the source of the disease's infection be cut off?"
[The host is right. Based on the current research progress of the institute, it is possible to simulate a specific broadcast for a long time. This idea is valid. 】
Tan Yue felt excited and tentatively said to Gu Zhuoran: "If I have a radiation source whose radiation can stop the spread of the disease, is there a way for the institute to broadcast this radiation?"
Gu Zhuoran's eyes lit up: "What do you mean? Do you have this kind of radiation source?"
Gu Zhuoran became excited and started to speak some terms that Tan Yue didn't understand.
Tan Yue was overwhelmed by his sudden enthusiasm, and decided to exchange the cards first.
It cost her 4999 energy points to redeem the card. Tan Yue stroked the gold-rimmed SSR card and felt that the whole card was saying "use me quickly, use me quickly".
She resisted the urge and decided to return to the base before using this card. She must first find out whether the institute has the ability to broadcast on a large scale, otherwise it would be very dangerous to reveal her trump card rashly.
I don't know if Gu Zhuoran saw something, but he said to Tan Yue: "If you want to see the research results of the institute in this area, of course we can demonstrate it to you."
…
An hour later, Yancheng Underground Base Research Institute.
A huge piece of ore was placed in the center of the square room, and Gu Zhuoran introduced beside her: "This is a kind of ore that has been dug deep in the mine in the past two years, and it can simulate the various radiations it absorbs. We use it with a radiation amplification device to achieve what you asked for."
"How many such ores are there?"
"A lot, enough."
"Can you let us see your trump card now?" Gu Zhuoran and Dean Xiao had obvious uncontrollable joy in their eyes.
Tan Yue nodded, and his mental power covered the card, and suddenly a green and white bird appeared on the desk.
This is a very beautiful bird. The eyes are covered with white feathers. The long tail feathers are also white. The cyan color covering part of the body is very gorgeous. It makes people feel that this is a strange color that cannot be mixed with paint.
Tan Yue said to Qing Gengniao in her heart: "Can you use your ability on that piece of ore?"
The green plowing bird cried, flew above the ore, then slowly landed and lay on it.
It's like hatching an egg.
Tan Yue: "..." It feels weird.
A cyan light lit up inside the colorless ore, and soon the whole body was glowing. There was a bird lying on it, which looked weird and gorgeous in the laboratory.
