Embers Ad Infinitum

People in the "new world" can take the initiative to spread "unintentional diseases" to their surroundings!

These words were like a charged arrow that shot into the minds of Long Yuehong and others, shattering their thoughts into pieces and causing their bodies and minds to tremble and become paralyzed.

The "Old Tune Group" had actually made some speculations about the connection between "Wu Xin Biao" and "New World" before, and suspected that when the strong men of "New World" return, the strengthening of nodes will cause the "Wu Xin Biao" virus to spread from "New World" world” spreads, infecting the surrounding humans.

And even if there is no return, as long as the body of the person who enters the "new world" is still alive, it is equivalent to a natural node. The "innocent disease" virus will also spread into the dust. It all depends on whether he is willing to control it.

Of course, this type of node is very weak, and the corresponding "channel" is extremely narrow. The "unintentional" virus that enters the dust through this has a very low viral load, and its survivability is not enough. It can only affect a small area near the node. The farther out, the virus Less, until none.

With these cognitions as the psychological basis, Long Yuehong originally felt that even if the guess was confirmed and it was clear that "Wuxinyi" came from the "New World", she would not be too shocked, and her emotions would be heavy.

But Commissioner Huang actually told them that once people in the "New World" return to the dust, they can actively spread "unintentional diseases" to their surroundings!

This means that every strong man in the "new world" is equivalent to a weapon of mass destruction, and it is also a precision-guided kind. It also means that in the face of "unintentional disease", human beings currently have no chance of winning. "The Adjustment Team" is really going to meet the returning "Doctor", and it will be a life-or-death situation!

At this moment, Jiang Baimian's mind was in a state of confusion and fragmentation.

Then, she remembered something:

The city where Shang Jianyao's father last appeared was one of the few places where "Wuxin Disease" broke out on a large scale after the New Year. This caused a human settlement not much smaller than Wubei to instantly become ruins.

Could it be that they met some strong man who had returned from the "New World" there? Jiang Baimian's various thoughts gradually faded away, and he slowly regained his normal thoughts.

At this time, Commissioner Huang looked around and took in the changes in the expressions of Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others.

He sighed and said with a wry smile:

“When this was initially confirmed, my reaction was similar to yours.

"Haha, this was originally classified as highly confidential information, but firstly, you have encountered the threat of powerful people from the 'New World', and this is likely to affect Wubei, so we must respond. Secondly, I have always insisted that this should be It is disclosed to all mankind so that everyone can take more precautions. Therefore, based on the special regulations in emergencies and within the scope of my authority, I will share the corresponding situation with you."

Before Jiang Baimian and others could respond, Shang Jianyao asked:

"Then why not open it to all mankind?"

He seemed to care more about this.

Regarding his reaction, Commissioner Huang was not too surprised and replied calmly:

"Because we haven't yet figured out the true cause of the destruction of the old world and the secret of the 'new world'. Once the source of 'Wuxin Disease' is revealed, we are afraid that mankind will once again encounter a 'great purge' similar to the original one. In that case, We are not sure whether humanity can survive and slowly rebuild civilization."

"It's a very reasonable concern." Jiang Baimian commented before Shang Jianyao.

She regained her composure and asked:

"How did you confirm that people who have returned from the 'New World' can actively spread 'Wuxin Disease' to their surroundings?"

this point is very important.

Commissioner Huang held an unlit cigarette between his arms and walked back and forth:

"At the beginning, we met a few humans who had been sleeping for many years but did not die. Once we stay around them for a long time, we will inevitably be infected with the 'Wuxin Disease'..."

Similar to Yan Hu's situation... Bai Chen pursed his lips and recalled the first "New World" strongman encountered by the "Old Tune Team", and the only one so far who could not return there to pray for help. "New World" strong man.

Commissioner Huang continued:

"At that time, the strongest among us had just stepped into the 'Soul Corridor' not long ago. We couldn't figure out what was going on, so we could only issue a ban to keep all soldiers away from the corresponding area."

Well, the "Salvation Army" was gradually formed after many human beings experienced disappointments and failures in the middle and late stages of the chaotic era. At that time, there may indeed have been awakened people who opened the door to the "new world"... …Jiang Baimian analyzed whether Commissioner Huang’s words were true from another angle.

"Later, someone among my colleagues finally found the door to the 'New World' and walked in. From some of the hints he gave us, we understood the origin of the previous phenomenon and initially confirmed the people who had returned to the 'New World' You can actively spread 'unintentional disease'." Commissioner Huang seems to have preserved this part of his memory quite well, or in other words, he has been reading the corresponding information over and over again to form new memories again and again.

Shang Jianyao once again expressed his confusion:

"Why do your colleagues who have entered the 'new world' only hint at it but not say anything about it?"

Commissioner Huang's expression changed slightly:

"I have forgotten my original doubts and can only make some guesses from the documents recording these things:

"My colleagues seemed to be subject to some kind of restriction. Even a few years after giving the hint, they turned into real vegetative states one after another, and could no longer transmit information back from the 'New World'. This situation continued until they The body is completely dead.

“I still don’t know if they are still alive in the ‘New World’.

"Those of us who later entered the 'new world' were taught a lesson and did not give similar hints. Most of our bodies have successfully survived until now."

Having said this, Commissioner Huang sighed solemnly:

“Currently, it seems that the situation in the ‘New World’ is very complicated.

“Maybe we have to wait until a few more groups of like-minded people join us before we can stir up a splash.”

"Okay." Shang Jianyao said in a tone of promise.

Before Jiang Baimian could speak, Commissioner Huang pondered for a moment and said:

"The rules for transmitting information within the 'New World' are unclear, and we still have to be prepared for possible attacks by the 'Doctor'.

"In this way, you wait a few more hours, and I will change the current arrangement and let ordinary people leave from the other side of Wubei, and you, the one sleeping in Wubei, and the team escorting him, will go west along the Yuelin River. South evacuates.”

The one sleeping in Wubei? Long Yuehong immediately understood that this represented a "New World" strongman from the "Salvation Army".

The first thought that came to his mind was not that he was finally safe, but that the strong men in the "new world" were also afraid of nuclear bomb explosions.

Immediately afterwards, he felt some indescribable emotions:

Commissioner Huang arranged for most of the humans in Wubei to be evacuated in another direction, giving him the feeling that the "Old Tune Group" was the source of the disaster, and that it was easy to be accidentally struck by lightning when he and others were around him.

Of course, Long Yuehong also understood why Commissioner Huang arranged this - he was worried that the "Doctor" would really attack. When the time comes, there would be a fierce battle, and ordinary people would be easily affected if they were still nearby.

"No problem." Jiang Baimian, as the team leader, agreed to Commissioner Huang's proposal on behalf of the "Old Adjustment Team".

After leaving the room where Commissioner Huang was and returning to the third floor, the four carbon-based people in the "Old Tune Team" fell silent at the same time.

Gnawa looked at each side and said:

“Shouldn’t we be happy that the relationship between ‘Wuxin’you’ and ‘New World’ has been further confirmed?”

This is the main mission of the "Old Tune Team".

"I mainly feel heavy." Long Yuehong did not hide her feelings.

Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and chuckled:

"I'm thinking about some issues."

"What's the problem?" Bai Chen felt that although Shang Jianyao's ideas were always strange, they were often highly inspiring.

This time, it was not Shang Jianyao who answered her, but Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian looked at the sunshine outside the window and said slowly:

"I'm thinking that the company also has strong people from the 'new world'. The board of directors will not understand the source of the 'unintentional illness'. Why do they have to set up 'old tune teams' to pursue the truth in this regard?"

"Perhaps, the 'New World' strong men in the company hinted more unclearly, so as not to make the same mistake as the first batch of 'New World' strong men in the 'Salvation Army'." The calm and rational Shang Jianyao gave his own explanation. .

Jiang Baimian nodded:

“It depends on whether someone from the company enters the ‘new world’ first, or whether someone from the ‘Salvation Army’ enters first.”

Normally, after experiencing the destruction of the old world and entering the "new world" through all kinds of hardships, human beings will more or less try to convey some important information to the outside world without having corresponding experience or receiving enough lessons.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Gnawa respectively, and continued with a solemn expression:

"I think of the attention we received, and the first time we went to Huitu for training. By coincidence, we went to the ruins of Marsh No. 1 and met Xiao Chong..."

Hiss... Long Yuehong took a breath after hearing this.

He smelled the smell of "arrangement".
