Meg and Lao Lei escaped together during that battle. The two of them worked together to sort it out with Cheng Shaofeng. Most of the scenes that day were restored, and basically nothing was missed.
The last news about the person who sent the scales was something Meg asked about when she secretly returned to Colossus City.
In addition to the Scales of Justice, the man told Meg two strange things.
"He said that the city lord was talking to himself in front of the sky, as if he was talking to someone, but the specific content could not be heard clearly, and he did not dare to listen."
"In addition, after he moved the Scales of Justice into the warehouse, there was a strange buzzing sound in the basement below the warehouse, and then several thumps, which seemed to be the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground."
Cheng Shaofeng thought for a while and seemed to think of something: "Can I still contact the person who delivered the scale now?"
"He died long ago... The lifespan of ordinary people is not long. There are so many accidents happening every day in the wasteland, and they can't be found."
Meg said with certainty.
Cheng Shaofeng nodded and did not ask any more questions. This also coincided with the scale of justice they later found in the city lord's mansion.
The city lord couldn't use it. He would get burned if he moved it, so it was naturally left in the warehouse to gather dust.
The basement below is where the shrine is located, and something may be changing inside.
'Polluted?' '
Cheng Shaofeng was not sure how the shrine was contaminated, so he could only speculate.
"Sigh... I have summarized it many times. The other party's attack that day was too unexpected. We had no news. Moreover, the poisoned wine was so well disguised that even my master did not have any problems after drinking it. After being tricked, he could only let it go. Mermaid meat, if my master’s divine weapon hadn’t been used to protect the retreat of the rest of us, we would all have died in it…”
Lao Lei shook his head. He couldn't find any solution in this game.
After listening to the detailed version, Cheng Shaofeng made his own judgment in his mind, and several unreasonable points became more and more prominent.
"First question, why did the mysterious inheritance attack you? Why didn't the Human Alliance deal with them later?"
Lao Lei said angrily: "It's not because my uncle, master, killed their mysterious scum who betrayed humanity!"
"Scum?"
"Yes! It's because of that scum who colluded with the zombies! The traitor who rips off the inside and outside, he is the enemy of the entire human race. My uncle and master killed him to eliminate harm for others. On the surface, they said that we killed him well and everyone can kill him. , but privately I still held grudges, so I harmed my uncles, and finally killed my master as well."
Cheng Shaofeng had heard of that mysterious traitor, and it was also recorded in the history of the Human Alliance. He made deals with zombies, capturing living humans in exchange for the secret materials he needed. It was a complete piece of shit, and it wouldn't take him a hundred times to kill him. Too much.
Listening to Lao Lei's description, Cheng Shaofeng frowned.
"wrong."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"The logic is wrong. For such a traitor, there is no need for the mysterious inheritance to trouble you. If you get rid of him, it will save the mysterious inheritance trouble. Otherwise, if you report it to the Human Alliance, this person will also die. When the time comes, the mysterious inheritance will They have to be liquidated afterwards. There is no reason for them to attack the Inquisitor because of a mortal man. And the most important thing is that if he really has this reason to attack, then the Human Alliance cannot just sit idly by. According to my recent experience with the Human Alliance, the words said."
Lao Lei was stunned: "But apart from this incident, we have almost no direct conflicts with the mysterious wells. Why do they want to raid us? And they have continued their raids for so many years, and the people who escaped from the trial have been Most of the fellow officials were killed, leaving only a few of us old guys who had hidden themselves well and were still lingering."
"Are you sure it's gone?"
Meg and Lao Lei both shook their heads: "No. Our inquisitor clearly remembered it in his trial record book. During that time, he only had such an encounter with Mystery."
"I understand, then you are obviously looking in the wrong direction. After listening to Lao Lei's description, the main culprit back then was not the mysterious inheritance, they were just thugs. The real person in charge was the city lord! He definitely reached some kind of deal with the mysterious inheritance, so that the mysterious inheritance The people who inherited it followed his arrangements and launched that sneak attack, and the reason for the sneak attack may be complicated."
"ah?"
Both of them were shocked. For so many years, they had always believed that the sneak attack was led by the mysterious inheritance. Cheng Shaofeng's statement made them unable to accept it for a while.
"Why? We don't know this city lord, and he was definitely a human at that time! Otherwise, my master's artifact would have detected it. At that time, he only noticed that the city lord was full of sins and did not say that he was a zombie."
"It should have been transformed into zombies later!"
Cheng Shaofeng woke up suddenly and suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying thing!
He took out his smart watch.
["Lintang, after your artifact is turned on, can you sense whether the enemy is a zombie or a human?"]
Lintang, who was killing zombies on the front line, was overjoyed at first when he saw the long-lost message from the lord, and then quickly replied with a voice message.
[Lin Tang: "Yes! After turning it on, in addition to seeing the other party's sin value, you can also sense whether it is the sin of a foreign race or a human being. There is a very clear distinction."]
[Lord: "Okay! Now you go find a few soldiers who have recovered from the infection, and open the artifact to see if they are humans or zombies!"]
[Lintang: "Okay! Right now!"]
Lao Lei looked solemn as he listened to Cheng Shaofeng's voice message.
"Are you saying that the recent severe infection has something to do with this zombie lord?"
"I can't tell, I hope not."
Cheng Shaofeng felt that he had vaguely grasped the context of the whole thing. There was a pair of invisible hands in the middle that connected the 50 years of events.
'If that's the case... there may be a big problem within humanity. '
'Mysterious inheritance. Perhaps it is not just a mysterious inheritance. '
Cheng Shaofeng held his hair and kept spinning it, inferences appeared in his mind one by one, and a feeling that he was about to see clearly but there were many points that were not logically logical.
Lao Lei and Meg looked at each other. This matter was not as simple as they thought.
But Meg said firmly: "No matter what the reason is, the mysterious inheritance cannot escape responsibility. Their attack that day only killed some of us, and other inquisitors scattered around the world were vigorously purged afterwards. This It’s all their fault! We, the judges, and the mysterious inheritance are at odds with each other! These thieves must be destroyed in the future!”
Cheng Shaofeng nodded incredulously.
After waiting for half an hour, news from Lintang came.
[Lin Tang: "Lord, what a danger! I just took a gun to infect the infected soldiers in the 3rd battalion and asked them to stand up, and then they were surrounded by others! Fortunately, I explained it clearly, otherwise I would Died"]
The corners of Cheng Shaofeng's mouth twitched slightly. This was something Lin Tang could do.
[Lin Tang: "Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. These soldiers have normal human reactions under the perception of my artifact. It seems that this infection does not have much impact. Lord, you can rest assured."]
rest assured?
Cheng Shaofeng closed his eyes and sighed.
Cheng Shaofeng closed his eyes and sighed.
"The worst case scenario has occurred. This infection will confuse your inquisitor's artifact, and it will still perceive humans. Then the city lord at the time really couldn't tell what the situation was. Maybe he was just an infected person at the time."
Lao Lei said in surprise: "That's not right! Didn't the soldiers say this is the latest type of virus? How could it have appeared 50 years ago?"
Cheng Shaofeng thought of the dense human experiments in the Zombie City Lord's basement and took a deep breath.
"If I guessed correctly, the zombie lord was carrying the first-generation virus. They spent 50 years researching to make this virus evolve into a variant that is highly infectious and stealthy, even among zombies. The emergence of intelligent zombies on a large scale may be another variant of their virus.”
"Ah this!"
Lao Lei and Meg were so surprised that they couldn't speak. It was originally just a hatred between them and the mysterious inheritance, but a zombie suddenly appeared and played an extremely important role in it.
Lao Lei: "Why did the people of the mysterious inheritance help the zombie city lord? Even though I hate them very much, human beings are still very united when facing alien races. One or two traitors may appear, but the entire mysterious inheritance It’s unlikely that they’ve all rebelled.”
Meg: "I think the same thing as Lao Lei. The mysterious inheritance is fierce in internal fighting, but it is impossible to help the zombies."
Even though they hated the mystery, the two of them still maintained an objective perspective on such a major matter.
Cheng Shaofeng spread his hands helplessly: "Indeed. So there may be reasons we don't know yet."
All events point to the mysterious inheritance and the new zombie virus, but there is a key clue missing to connect the entire events.
'The zombie city lord. The new virus wiped out the inquisitor. The city lord muttered to the sky and the shrine made strange noises. He has been studying humans and zombies for 50 years. A sudden outbreak of virus-infected soldiers. The induction of the artifact.'
Clues kept appearing in Cheng Shaofeng's mind, but something was always missing.
'What do the zombies want to do? '
While Cheng Shaofeng was deep in thought, his smart watch vibrated again.
It's Lintang.
[Lin Tang: "By the way! Lord, there is something very detailed that I didn't tell you just now, but after thinking about it, it's a bit strange, so I still have to report it to you."]
[Lin Tang: "Although those infected soldiers feel that they are human beings and are good people, a small number of them have a little bit of sin lingering on them. They may have done some bad things recently, but they have been doing it all year round. The glory of the soldiers accumulated by killing aliens is too dazzling. If I hadn't been careful enough, I would never have noticed it!"]
"Huh? The smell of sin? Lao Lei, what does this mean?"
"It means that they have done bad things that are recognized by human standards, not the ambiguous kind, but pure bad things, otherwise the aura of sin will not be entangled."
Aunt Mei answered first.
Cheng Shaofeng wondered: "They have been isolated by soldiers some time ago. After they were released, they lived in a camp specially designed to infect soldiers. Yesterday, they helped us fight together. There was no chance of doing bad things in the meantime, right? It's strange. How could the soldiers do this? What about the smell of sin?"
Snapped!
Lao Lei suddenly clapped his hands.
"I see!"
"It's very possible that they transmitted the virus to others. The crime of spreading the plague is also very serious! An incident was recorded in the records of the ancestor. In the early days of the wasteland era, radiation caused many strange diseases. There was one Because the infected person was afraid of death and said he was not sick, he secretly hid in a human gathering place, and then infected the entire settlement, and they all died miserably. He saw the dying person, with black energy wrapped around his head and a sinister sky!"
"Oh, that's it." Cheng Shaofeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey! I thought these soldiers were controlled by the zombie virus and did some bad things. If they were just infected, they didn't mean it. After all, this virus is very concealed, and "
Suddenly, Cheng Shaofeng was startled.
"broken!"
Meg and Lao Lei: "What's wrong!?"
"Infected! Did they spread the infection!? When! Who was infected? There is no news at all from the soldiers and my sub-base!"
This virus seems to be nothing on the surface, but through the zombie lord and its secret experimental base 50 years ago, Cheng Shaofeng has seriously suspected that this virus is not that simple!
If other people are really infected, and these people are not under the control of soldiers, once they arrive in a place with dense human beings,
The consequences could be disastrous!
"Let's talk about what happened 50 years ago later. I'll go contact the soldiers first!"
The three shadow guards opened their eyes at the same time in the Hongcheng Administrative Center.
"Let's return to the northern battlefield quickly!"
call!
The Red Devil aircraft sprayed blue flames and quickly disappeared from the horizon.
Cheng Shaofeng also dialed Hong Changsheng's smart watch.
"Something happened! There is a problem with your Infection Battalion 3! Go find out who those soldiers have been in contact with outside recently! They may have inadvertently spread the new infection virus of zombies!"
Hong Changsheng was a little puzzled.
"Infected with a virus? No way. Our headquarters and the Human League have tested it. This virus will not spread through the air and water. It will be fine even if you sit face to face and eat. This new type of virus is the same as the traditional zombie virus. It requires blood to spread, which means they have to bite someone else to do it, so how could it be spread unintentionally?"
"Um?"
Cheng Shaofeng was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it made sense.
'What's going on if the Human Alliance and soldiers didn't investigate the source of infection clearly and wouldn't let them leave the isolation area easily? Do they intentionally hurt others? Impossible! Their consciousness is not controlled. How could these most loyal soldiers harm humans? '
He shook his head: "No matter, my people noticed that there is a problem with them anyway. You first go check who has been in contact with them in the past few days since they were released, and control them first!"
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to check."
Hong Changsheng was a little strange, but the lord of the natural disaster base personally gave him a voice call, so he must be respected.
"Lin Hao, go to Infection Camp 3 to find out what outsiders they have come into contact with recently."
"yes!"
After making arrangements, Hong Changsheng put his hand into his clothes and touched the zombie-like dry muscles on his left ribs, which were as natural as his own body.
"Aside from some body changes, there is nothing else."
"Well, when this term is over, it's time for me to retire. Then I can go home and enjoy my old age with my wife and children. There are ruthless people from the natural disaster base here, and they don't need my old bones anymore."
He took out the pale photo from his wallet and showed a loving smile.
"I really want them to come and accompany me now." (End of Chapter)
