Plague, mutants, skeleton soldiers...
Are they all undead creatures? !
In addition to the skeleton soldiers in it, which can be hammered from countless angles, the other two items contain too much information.
You must know that before this, no one, including Saint Xialian, could link the plague in Misha County with the undead creatures. Although the mutants that appeared later were often used by players, They jokingly call them "zombies" and "zombies", but they have obvious vital signs. Their hearts are still beating and their breathing has not stopped. They are completely different from the "undead creatures" within the scope of common sense, so until now everyone still regards them as Those mutants are regarded as crazy and irrational humans.
Although it has been confirmed that their appearance is indeed related to the plague, no one has considered it from the perspective of 'undead creatures', so that until now, there are still several magicians, alchemists, and pharmacists outside Mida City. A small group of priests, priests and scholars are studying how to cure those mutants. Several of them are 'official' teams. Thor, Tyro and Mortan all support them. The Paladins even went out of their way to Two mutants were captured alive and given to them for treatment experiments.
However, if those mutants are already undead creatures and not human beings...
"It's useless, it definitely can't be cured." Luna was leaning on the chair at this moment, muttering as if she was dreaming, "They are already dead... Although the body is still alive, there is nothing we can do about it." Being 'cured'...ummm..."
Yuchen sighed softly, then took out a priest's robe from her luggage (she had kept several sets of low-level equipment with her since the last divine descending incident) and put it on Luna, then turned back and whispered to Mo Tan "If this is true, then we should let Sister Saint know as soon as possible..."
"That's right, but we still don't understand a lot of things." Mo Tan shrugged, and then glanced helplessly at Luna, who had begun to snore softly. "Let's ask after she wakes up. See This disaster in Misha County is no longer just a 'natural disaster'."
Yu Chen pursed his lips, and after a while he looked at Mo Tan again, "Is it really... a man-made disaster?"
The latter nodded silently. He knew that Yuchen had already figured it out, so he didn't explain any more.
There was no sign at all. The large-scale plague that swept through the entire county within a short period of time after the outbreak was very strange. In addition, there were many skeleton soldiers that briefly appeared in the northern part of the epidemic area not long ago. Until now, these people were in the 'Innocent Realm' Mutants who are not consistent with common sense in this world that is not common sense...
Combined with what Luna just said, the conclusion is already obvious.
Although the cause is completely unclear, this disaster is definitely man-made! but……
Mo Tan tapped the wooden table next to him and thought with furrowed brows. Although he had accumulated a lot of knowledge about Misha County during this period, he still couldn't think of what if there really was a certain person. As for the 'culprit', what are his motives and purposes?
Whether it's the plague that's been raging to this day, or the mutants who only know about killing aimlessly, they all give him a very 'casual' feeling.
He found this land very casually, spread fear and disaster very casually, and applauded amidst countless pains and lamentations very casually. It had nothing to do with hatred, purpose or belief, it was just a matter of interest.
Although he didn't know why he thought so, Mo Tan had such a feeling.
It sucks…
He scratched his hair, then looked back at Luna, who had just been helped to the bed by Yu Chen. As a result, she opened her eyes in a daze at the same time.
"Well, I seem to have fallen asleep accidentally. The quilt... the quilt..." The girl casually pulled the quilt next to her and wrapped herself up. Then she nodded to Mo Tan like a silkworm baby, "What else do you want to know?" "
The latter smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "We'll talk about the rest after you wake up."
"It's okay, I quite like talking." Luna yawned listlessly, then sat up slowly wrapped in a quilt, took out a small incense burner from the pocket with space magic and put it next to the pillow "Sleep less It doesn’t matter at all, well, how to activate it...I remember it was...eh..."
She poked at the small incense burner for a while, and finally succeeded in making it smoke.
Mo Tan and Yu Chen looked curiously at the wisps of light blue smoke filling the room. They soon felt refreshed, and a refreshing buff appeared on their bodies. The specific effect was every five seconds. Restores 1 physical energy value.
Luna, who retracted under the quilt and leaned against the bedside, also felt refreshed, and then... yawned sleepily and said, "A little thing made of Awakening Pollen. It's very useful when you don't have time to sleep. Well, so you guys What else do you want to know?”
"Okay, I also want to know how you determined that this plague and those mutants are undead creatures." Mo Tan was not pretentious, so he continued to spread his hands to the alchemist girl in front of him who was gradually getting more energetic and said, "Return There is their source, if you know or have any clues..."
Luna shook her head, "I don't know what the source you are talking about is, and there are no clues. As for confirming that those diseases and monsters are undead creatures... Well, alchemists should know it... Some time ago, a villager came to me and said They got sick, so I took some blood samples and tested them a little bit, and then I knew."
"Do you know how to be an alchemist?" Mo Tan blinked and then looked at Yu Chen next to him.
The latter immediately shook his head and whispered, "It's impossible. There were many alchemists studying the plague in Hofer City at that time, but nothing was analyzed. However, the saint sister said that the highest level among them was only Intermediate alchemist, maybe he is not strong enough?”
"But Teacher Tony said she was a trainee alchemist." Mo Tan scratched his hair, and then asked Luna curiously, "Did he say it wrong?"
The girl shook her head and confirmed slowly with her ethereal voice, "Tony didn't lie. I am indeed a trainee alchemist. Well, that's how the Alchemist Guild in Mida City assessed me. I've been here once before... It seems. Was it about two years ago, or three years?”
"Okay, I roughly understand the situation, but these are not important." Mo Tan interrupted Luna's memories, and then continued to ask, "I heard that although many people in the village where you lived were infected with the plague, No one had transformed into a mutant before that attack, did you do something?"
This question is very important, because Erbozi Village is the only gathering place that Mo Tan knows so far where no infected people have transformed after the emergence of mutants. This is obviously not a coincidence, and this small village is different from other places. The only difference between the places is that they have Luna, a special 'trainee alchemist'.
If it is indeed the credit of the girl in front of him, then it means that 'alienation' can be prevented. Even if it is just a superficial and unreliable prevention, it is precious enough in the current situation.
"Do you mean by 'alienation' the process of those infected with the plague turning into monsters?" Luna asked leisurely, and after receiving Mo Tan's affirmative answer, she nodded and said, "I did do something for them. After some simple treatments, although there is no way to completely dispel those diseases, it can at least have some inhibitory effect...probably..."
Although the look and tone of the girl in front of her made people feel unreliable, Mo Tan believed Luna's words without reservation at the first moment.
Yuchen, who had the same view, asked Luna in surprise, "What should we do?"
"How to do it?" Luna tilted her head, and then whispered... or after being in a daze for a moment, "This plague is not just an ordinary disease, it also has many interesting characteristics. , some can prevent wounds from healing, some can cause the human body to rot from the inside, and some can cause painful hallucinations. The symptoms are different for everyone, so it is difficult to make any targeted treatment, well ,I guess so……"
Next, Luna explained her findings to the two of them in more detail. This was a big challenge for Mo Tan and Yu Chen, but the main reason was not because it was difficult for them to understand what Luna often said. There are various professional terms that appear. After all, one is a doctor and the other is a psychiatrist, and they are relatively receptive in this regard, so there is no communication barrier, but...
Luna's sleepy voice and unhurried tone were so drowsy. Even though Mo Tan and Yu Chen were in a 'sleep' state in a sense, they still couldn't help but listen to this girl speak. There was a lot of sleepiness. Fortunately, the small incense burner kept smoking, otherwise the two of them might have suffered a little more.
"The ointment made from ground colored fresh fat and snake slough can effectively treat abscesses and ulcers, but it can aggravate other diseases, such as internal corruption of limbs." Luna held her small incense burner and used her The ethereal voice said lightly, "The dissolved gas of Narcissus can dispel many malignant hallucinations, but it is a fatal catalyst for several other plague symptoms. Even if highly neutralizing and very expensive star crystals are added to it, The powder is useless, because it catalyzes magic power. All types of diseases contain a certain amount of magic power, so it may lead to death directly. Well, but I don’t have money to buy star crystal powder, so I can’t be sure... but the theory That should be correct."
Yuchen's eyes seemed to have begun to turn mosquito coils, and he could only nod mechanically from a few minutes ago. After Luna finished speaking, he continued to nod in a daze, "Well... Well... So it turns out That’s it…”
"Okay, I probably understand." Mo Tan patted his cheek and sighed extremely tiredly, "In short, because the nature of this plague is complex and it has a variety of malignant symptoms, conventional treatment methods It’s totally useless, right?”
Luna nodded.
"Then the question comes." Mo Tan looked solemn and asked Luna in a deep voice, "Which company has the best excavator technology?"
Luna was stunned for a moment, her foggy light blue eyes full of doubts, "What are you digging for?"
Sure enough, he is not a player~
Mo Tan casually found a reason for his mistake just now, then shrugged and said, "Nothing, can you tell me a little about those mutants?"
Luna did not continue to ask about the excavator. She just flipped through the notes in her hand and said while reading, "I haven't studied those things very much, but I have probably figured out how they are 'alienated'." Yes, the main problem is..."
"Um, I'm sorry~" Yuchen suddenly raised his little hand and interrupted with a yawn, "Can you make it simpler?"
Luna said 'Oh', then lowered her head and turned over two pages of the note, and said softly, "The conclusion is that when the physique of the plague-infected people weakens to a certain extent, there will be a high chance of diseases in their bodies every once in a while. Transform into another form of existence, and after the transformation is completed, you will become a mutant."
Mo Tan and Yu Chen looked at each other, Luna's 'conclusion' was almost exactly the same as their previous analysis.
The two of them are now certain that this girl is definitely not simple. Although they don't know exactly what level the 'trainee alchemist' is, this level obviously has nothing to do with Luna. She has already achieved dozens of intermediate levels. There is no 'great achievement' that even the alchemists combined could accomplish.
"Miss Luna." Mo Tan breathed out softly, then looked at the girl on the bed who had wrapped herself in the shape of a silkworm, and asked seriously, "How did you do that?"
Discovering that plagues and mutants are undead in nature is not important...
Nor is it important to understand the diverse nature of the disease and its complexity...
In a short period of time, the reason for the "alienation" of the infected was analyzed, but it was still not important...
What's important is how she controlled the epidemic and successfully prevented any of the hundreds of people in the small village from turning into monsters before the mutants struck.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Luna did not answer immediately like before, but lowered her eyes and whispered, "My method is quite special, and others cannot use it. If you hope to rely on this to save For most people, my answer will definitely disappoint you."
At this moment, there was no confusion in her tone.
Mo Tan and Yu Chen looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.
"Okay." Luna sighed softly and looked up at the two of them. The haziness in her eyes had faded away. Her light blue eyes were filled with calmness and wisdom that was completely inconsistent with her age. "You are believers in God, right?" Bar?"
Mo Tan nodded slightly, "It's obvious."
Yuchen also shrank his neck and whispered, "Well, I am the favored one of the goddess of dawn."
"Swear to your gods..."
"What?", "Huh?"
"I swear that I will keep my secret no matter what, so I will tell you..."
