I am your natural enemy

A few days later, a biological laboratory in Robin caught fire. The person in charge who was not inside sealed all the exits to prevent the spread of the things inside, allowing the fire to burn the inside cleanly, and everything was purified.

This biological laboratory had just obtained some biological samples obtained from the extinction town a few days ago, and had just found out something, and it happened to catch fire.

This news was very inconspicuous. Only a local newspaper published a brief newsletter, and did not mention the casualties at all.

The owner of Torredo was very sharp. Before getting the samples, he took action on some of Robin's industries, and only some were left in Maple Leaf Country.

However, just after getting the samples here, the next day I heard that the "friend" who had given intelligence to many people and may have given samples to several people was robbed on the road, and the robber's gun went off and hit him in the head.

The samples were sealed and taken on the ship. They came to Maple Leaf Country from the sea, and then from the east of Maple Leaf Country to Europe. Finally, after a circle, it took more than ten days to arrive at the port of Nanhai County.

After the things arrived at the port, they passed the normal customs, but they failed to pass the customs of the Lieyang Tribe. There was a contraband inside, so the container was sealed and taken away.

After being transported from Nanhai County to Nanwu County, it went around for two days, and finally a sealed metal box fell into the hands of the Lieyang Tribe of Nanwu County.

Wen Yan also received news from the little bat at the same time. Their clan leader was also very powerful and well versed in the rules of the game over there. Not only did he get some intelligence, but he also got a sample.

In order to prevent people from knowing, he also specially got some contraband outside that would be stopped by the Lieyang Tribe customs if they were discovered.

When it came to the hands of the Lieyang Tribe, it was equivalent to Wen Yan's hands.

Wen Yan did not take over because the contraband could not be handled by Nanhai County. The normal processing procedure was not to continue to open the box and then send it to Nanwu County for processing.

Feng Yao got the news from Wen Yan and naturally knew what was going on.

Contraband naturally went through the normal procedures and was destroyed according to specific methods. The sample that Wen Yan wanted was quietly left.

In half a month, a special floor was built in the underground hive to be used as a laboratory.

In order to distinguish it from the people in the aerospace department below, they were not connected to each other, so Guihai Building 1 opened a new passage.

The equipment needed was not expensive, they were all simple things, mainly because the equipment that Bourne wanted was not expensive.

Bourne would not use those equipment that cost tens of millions of yuan at once, and his direction was different from general scientific research.

The samples were unsealed in the Lieyang Department of Nanwu County, and part of them were left to Feng Yao, who sent them up there, and part of them were left to Wen Yan.

Feng Yao didn't want to leave them to Wen Yan at all, because they were too dangerous.

In the end, I heard that the laboratory floor of the underground hive was completely isolated from the other floors, with separate entrances, all a few kilometers northeast of Decheng.

Moreover, the people who were doing the research were not living people, but undead, and Feng Yao was speechless.

Guihai Building 1 was a construction team with one person, and was almost exhausted by Wen Yan. In more than ten days, Guihai Building 1 built a tunnel several kilometers long.

The materials used were also the materials used in the previous tunnel construction.

No wonder I heard that the people in the design institute complained about the sharp drop in income all last year, but suddenly shut up at the end of the year. They could get a year-end bonus during the Chinese New Year.

One person in Guihai Building is equivalent to a construction team, and the efficiency is incredibly high. The unit that makes prefabricated parts pulls concrete one truck at a time, without stopping every day, and they want as much as they can make.

The time spent on construction is less than the time spent on design, measurement, planning, etc. Those people always have work to do, and this work is even easier than all the previous projects. They are not grinning from ear to ear.

Wen Yan is very self-aware and did not contact anyone throughout the process. None of the people he contacted was alive, not even a corpse.

Bourne was very happy. He had a single floor of the laboratory. The place was very spacious and could be expanded later. Everything he wanted was prepared.

After getting the sample, he began to study it and gave a preliminary conclusion on the same day.

"Boss, this thing does have traces of undead magic. It should be a plague ritual, which is not much different from the previous ones.

It's just that I haven't seen anything that carries this power. It should be those viruses that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

The person who cast the spell is too eager for quick success. This thing will quickly destroy people's vitality.

It's impossible to spread too far without worrying about it. If it is in a sparsely populated area, it is basically impossible to spread."

"Nowadays, transportation is very developed, and it is common to travel thousands of miles a day." Wen Yan reminded.

"That's a bit dangerous, but the power of this thing will be exhausted within a day after it is contaminated by living beings.

And if the person who is contaminated is an ordinary person, his vitality will be destroyed within a day.

The power in the sample has been basically exhausted, leaving only a little remnant, and there is basically no threat."

Born was afraid that Wen Yan didn't understand, so he explained it in detail.

Generally speaking, there is a certain virus in the sample, but this virus itself is actually ordinary. When combined with plague magic, it can burst out with extremely strong lethality.

The power of plague magic is roughly equal to the blue bar of the virus. When the blue bar is exhausted, the spread and death are all over.

And this power can only be spread within one day. Within one day, the power will be exhausted and can no longer be spread.

All the power was focused on killing, pursuing the strongest power in a short period of time and exhausting people's vitality.

On the other hand, the samples sent by Feng Yao were also tested and studied.

Combining the actual situation in the intelligence, the conclusion given here is that this thing is similar to some so-called super viruses.

It is generally very strong in some aspects, such as drug resistance to a certain drug. In fact, in a normal environment, it can't beat the most common competitors at all.

Or it may be very troublesome under certain conditions, such as athlete's foot fungus, which is a special evolution for a specific situation. It can't fight other fungi in the wild. That's why people always say that athlete's foot can be cured by walking barefoot in the fields. The method may not be completely reliable, but it does make sense.

The two sides came to the same conclusion in different ways.

The news was summarized in the hands of the head of the headquarters. He looked at it complementary, and with professional opinions from both sides, he naturally understood what was going on.

This should be an experimental accident, and this thing is indeed a great threat.

After all, plague is really hard to prevent, especially when there are frequent exchanges of people around the world and a huge amount of goods enter and leave ports every day.

But just three days, just after the first month of the year, on February 2, several explosive news appeared.

On a route from Kangaroo Country to Robin, four container ships and three large bulk carriers all sank in two days.

On the northern route of the ocean, six cargo ships departing from the island country or from the west coast to the island country all sank.

Two bulk carriers carrying more than 300,000 tons of iron ore and coal also sank on the way to Shenzhou.

In addition to the cargo ships sailing within the offshore range, in just two days, 18 cargo ships sank in the largest ocean alone.

The sea monster ushered in the outbreak period.

Robin certainly couldn't stand it, and the fleet passed by that day, and then, on the same day, he performed a sea drift and ran away quickly.

Because before they arrived at the place, a giant beast that had never appeared before appeared. It quickly emerged from the bottom of the sea and roared at a warship. The huge sound wave killed most of the crew on the ship on the spot.

A few days ago, the cargo ship was across the Grand Canal. Compared with what happened now, the damage caused was just a drizzle.

In the headquarters of the Lieyang Department, a group of people were having a meeting. This time, not only the people from the Lieyang Department were there, but also the people from the navy and some leaders of related departments.

On the big screen in the conference room, there was a picture with the locations of various giant beasts that appeared in the ocean marked on it.

There were also three in the South China Sea, but they did not cause any major damage.

One of the giant beasts did not approach the offshore area, one sank the sunken ship driven by the water ghost, and then fought with the angry water ghost in the sea for three hundred rounds, and finally the giant beast fled with injuries.

Another one was scared away by the Dahlia. The corpse of the giant beast tied to the Dahlia was used as the food of the Dahlia. The giant beast had a strong deterrent effect on other giant beasts.

"Everyone, this is the result of integrating the latest news.

According to the current results, all large ships that leave the coastline for more than 200 nautical miles are in danger.

The larger the ship, the more dangerous it is.

On the contrary, these giants don't seem to be very interested in small fishing boats."

As he spoke, some close-up photos and videos were shown on the screen, all taken by fishermen in the South China Sea, some of which were less than a thousand meters away from the giants.

When the giants passed by, the waves they raised could overturn those small fishing boats.

The head of the headquarters looked gloomy and watched quietly, then looked at some documents prepared by the chief secretary, which were all some research, or speculation.

I opened it and took a look, and saw that there was a statement that those giants were too large, the speed of nerve conduction would be very slow, and they would appear to be slow to react, clumsy in action, etc.

But when he looked up and took another look at the video, it was obvious that this conclusion was not quite right.

Creatures that are too large can only exist in the ocean, and at present, it is basically correct.

Those giants that are dozens of meters long, or even hundreds of meters long, and appear in the world are basically in the sea.

Some of the characteristics of those giant beasts can be found in some corresponding things, but for most of them, there is actually no record that can be found to correspond to them, and there is no record of them in mythology.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit depressing.

Even though Shenzhou has been preparing for many years and has laid out land transportation, and it has been very effective. Not only has it completed the layout, but it has also increased its influence on the surrounding areas.

But sea transportation still occupies the absolute main force of foreign trade. As of this year, more than half of imports and exports still rely on sea transportation.

The transportation cost of sea transportation has doubled in the past two years, but it is still so low that it crushes land transportation. The costs of the two are not at the same level at all.

If sea transportation is hit hard, the subsequent impact will be great.

We are not afraid of cost increases, and the increase is still within the acceptable range. We are just afraid that we can't transport at all.

With the huge throughput of the port every year, it is impossible for every ship to be escorted. Even according to the current situation, escorting may not be reliable.

The current weapons may not have any good effect on those sea monsters. Some monsters can even be invisible in sonar.

To be honest, it would be better to bring a water ghost than to rely on sonar detection. At this time, the water ghost's perception may be able to sense the approaching danger.

"Can the Dahlia of your Lieyang Department..." someone asked.

The head of the headquarters immediately knocked on the table.

"Wrong, that's not our Fiery Sun Department's ship. By the way, the Dahlia is an outlier. It's just a ship. It doesn't belong to the Fiery Sun Department, but is an outlier registered by the Fiery Sun Department."

The head of the headquarters looked to the side, and the secretary immediately retrieved the information and projected it on the big screen.

The information clearly stated that when the Dahlia was registered, it was registered as an outlier.

The Dahlia's IQ is not particularly high, and it is very good at eating.

However, compared with ships of the same tonnage, the food that the Dahlia eats is at most a fraction of the fuel cost.

At present, the Dahlia is not considered to be working for the Fiery Sun Department, but the two sides have reached a tacit understanding.

We pay a little money here to buy some food, and the Dahlia is patrolled by a group of water ghosts on the sea, that's all.

Fighting with giant beasts and the like is purely hunting behavior of the Dahlia.

These records are written very clearly.

As the leader of the department, the head of the headquarters is very clear about how things should be defined.

Some things can be done, but the name on paper must be another statement.

On the one hand, nominally, the Lieyang Department must not have too much power, just like sometimes when the priority is high, the Lieyang Department only asks people to take action and asks the military to assist.

The past events are vivid in my mind. The head of the headquarters personally experienced the days when the Lieyang Department was almost abolished, and he knows it best.

On the other hand, while restraining yourself, you must also restrain others. To put it bluntly, you must prevent others from reaching out.

In the records, the Dahlia is an independent registered outlier, and it does not belong to Wen Yan.

But when it comes to doing things, it is to communicate directly with Wen Yan, ask Wen Yan to communicate and negotiate, etc.

The matter is still the same matter, the procedure cannot be wrong, and the definition cannot be wrong.

The navy people waved their hands helplessly.

"I mean, can we ask the people of the Lieyang Department to help discuss and ask the Dahlia to help escort? Recently, some giant ships are carrying important things, either ore or soybeans.

We are also escorting, but the current situation may not be enough, and it may not be safe.

The most important thing is to try and find some sustainable methods under the current environment."

"So that's it. We just happen to have this idea. We also know that shipping must not collapse immediately, which will bring catastrophic consequences."

Everyone knows this. If shipping suddenly collapses completely, it will inevitably become a wave of disaster that sweeps everyone.

The consequences of the disaster are much greater than all the impacts from the beginning of the spiritual energy revival to now.

The meeting ended in the morning, then the afternoon, and continued in the evening.

When the meeting was over, the general manager returned to his office, opened the map, and asked the secretary to mark the main routes.

Looking at the information of some of the giant beasts marked, he sighed.

This is a disaster, but in the eyes of some people, it is actually an opportunity.

In this case, whoever can maintain the shipping route can influence the great navigation of the new era.

So far, the safest method is not to escort by a fleet, but by the Dahlia.

The fleet is a bigger target, and it is easier to attract hatred and attract attacks from giant beasts.

Among the known sea beasts, some can create cliffs in the sea, some can be invisible in sonar, and some can kill living people with sound waves...

There are all kinds of them.

It is very difficult to kill them. These things have strong vitality, and some of them can recover by themselves after losing limbs.

Most importantly, these guys will also learn from their mistakes.

At first, some giant beasts dared to swallow torpedoes when they saw them, but they would avoid them later.

After the fight, if they were not killed, these giant beasts would only remember more and retaliate crazily.

The reason why the Dahlia escort is safe is that the nearby giant beasts will regard it as a stronger kind and will actively avoid it.

What they are looking for is how to turn this special case into a replicable method.

It has been tried long ago to simply take some of the spoils of the Dahlia and hang them on other ships, and it doesn't work at all.

Doing so will attract the giants, just like fishing.

Only when the Dahlia is brought by itself will it be considered by other giants as a display of strength and a deterrent to other sea monsters.

The next day, Feng Yao came to Decheng in person, drove his broken car to Wen Yan's house.

"Hey, Minister Feng, why are you here in person?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I have something to talk to you about." Feng Yao sighed.

"What's going on? Is it serious?"

"It's very serious. The sea monster has erupted. In the past four days, there have been 23 cargo ships sunk in the East China Sea alone.

Although there is no large-scale news coverage, everyone who should know knows it.

Ocean freight has been directly destroyed, and no one dares to leave the port.

The most important thing is that only one of the monsters that attacked the giant ships in the past few days died, and he was not beaten to death.

That guy attacked an LNG transport ship and bit through the spherical tank of the transport ship.

The liquefied natural gas with a temperature of more than 100 degrees below zero suddenly vented into its mouth, freezing its mouth there.

In the end, the monster was frozen alive into slag.

Our Shenzhou has also been attacked several times, and a ship transporting iron ore has also sunk."

"Well, you came to me, not expecting me to fight the sea monster, right?"

"That's not the case. We want to use the Dahlia as an escort. Those monsters will avoid the Dahlia. Currently, no ship has sunk in the South China Sea. The Dahlia is wandering around in the South China Sea, occupying a large part of the reason. It is probably because those monsters have tacitly accepted that this is the territory of the Dahlia."

"Okay, I'll go to the South China Sea and talk to those water ghosts to figure out the mission, right?"

"Well, it counts as hiring the Dahlia, including the sailors on it."

"Is it very troublesome?"

"It's very troublesome. Although monsters appeared from time to time before, the threat was not too great, but this time the number suddenly exploded, and some of those monsters can even hide in sonar detectors."
