"what news?"

Xia Ren pricked up his ears and concentrated.

"One of the several containment objects that you entrusted the Foundation to find earlier appeared in Arkham City."

……

This volume is over.

Capuchin summary

The Age of Plague is finally finished, let out a long sigh of relief.

Next comes the third volume.

There will be a lot of new content in this volume, and the foreshadowing laid down in the previous two volumes will gradually be used. There will also be characters who have spent pen and ink in the past but have no effect, and will appear again one after another, surprising everyone.

The complexity of this book and the difficulty of the plot far exceeded my expectations at the beginning. I thought it would be difficult, but I didn’t expect it to be difficult in hell, so that when I wanted to reorganize the follow-up plot yesterday, I watched The outline is simply suspicious of life.

But it has been written to this extent, it is impossible to give up, and I even want to speed up the update speed (expansion).

Looking back on the first two volumes, this book is actually not cool enough, the rhythm is extremely chaotic, and the plot is messy. It is a miracle that it can achieve the current results. I would like to thank everyone for their love and support.

The second volume actually has a big problem. The tone of the whole volume is too heavy, and the main enemy is the plague. The protagonist doesn’t have much contact with people, which leads to the depressing plot and almost no fun. Even some hopeless.

At the beginning, in order to get rid of this problem as soon as possible, I was anxious and forced to advance the progress of the whole volume. I only wrote the two plague plots at the beginning and end of the outline. As a result, the key foreshadowing in the middle was not even mentioned, which seriously affected the follow-up content.

So I rewrote that part, trying to keep the story intact, but still cut a lot of plot, but this time I don't regret it.

The role of Zhou Yuan in the entire plague era, the Supreme Alliance government is not a wage earner of the Foundation and the Superman Alliance, but actually has a detached status, the residents of the archipelago, the secret forest, the real cause of Dr. Liao’s death, etc., etc. These are the main parts I have written it all out, at least I can guarantee that you will not find the follow-up content abrupt and inexplicable.

Regarding the third volume, I can't guarantee anything else, especially the update speed, but the experience will definitely improve compared to the previous two volumes.

Next, please come to Xia Ren's home court.

Volume Three: The Witch Trials.

Chapter 514 City of Chaos and Order: Arkham 】

By plane, Xia Ren and the others came to Xizhou, but before meeting the guide and heading to Arkham, he had one more thing to do.

The city of Dallas no longer exists. According to internal data, the population of Xizhou was about 62.17 billion two months ago, but now there are only about 55.05 billion left. More than 7 million people died in the plague, and there are still several Cities were destroyed and large tracts of land are still under blockade.

Under normal circumstances, such a rapid rate of population death would inevitably lead to serious social problems. However, under the comfort of the Mother Tree of Mercy, the sorrows of the living are forgotten. Coupled with a series of measures by the Supreme Alliance government, people's lives are not affected. How much has changed.

It is only occasionally that adventurous teenagers and girls who are excited to explore the wilderness come to the edge of the restricted area by accident, and when they look at the ashes left by the color of the stars, they will be shocked by the potential danger of this world.

In a city not far from the ruins of Dallas.

inside a hospital.

Under the guidance of the staff of the Superman Association, Xia Ren and the others walked through the cold and empty corridor to the basement.

Like the foundation, almost every city in Bluestar will have a Superman Association station, and there will also be a basement like this one, which is used to deal with emergency situations, or temporarily contain pollutants and storage rooms for polluted dead bodies.

The body of Huichuan Lizi was kept here.

Workers pulled open one of the freezers and placed the body on a metal table.

They didn't conduct any research or disposal on the body, so Riko Aikawa remained as she was when she died, but the clothes on her body were cut off for preservation.

Xia Ren looked at the horrible penetrating scar on her chest, and felt very guilty.

Out of desperation, she posted a request for help on the foundation's internal website. Only she saw the message and came to help even though she knew it was dangerous.

It can be said that he directly caused her death.

"You go out first."

Xia Ren asked the staff to leave, then glanced at the room to confirm that there was no monitoring.

He stared at Chuan Lizi's face, and after a while, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

With the improvement of his strength, most of the functions of the system are no longer available, especially the character attribute panel has become gray, and only the last updated value is kept on it, and there are no new changes.

This proves from the side that the system itself is a defective product. When Xia Ren's strength was still very weak at the beginning, it could still play some role, but as his strength became stronger and the things he came into contact with became more and more complicated, the system The initial crude setting was no longer enough to deal with this situation, so they simply stopped covering it up.

Xia Ren can even foresee that, perhaps in the end, the system may disappear completely, or the man behind the scenes who created this system to restrain himself will be honest with him.

But at least for now, the system store is still available.

His attention turned to the most expensive item among them.

Worth [-] achievement points...the Immortal Sand Resurrection talisman.

Xia Ren already knew that the so-called achievement points were the magic power absorbed from various pollutants, and it was just another name on the system side.

He had absorbed and looked at the heretics infected by the fungus before, and the magic power he obtained was enough to exchange for all the items in the store, and this one was of course no exception.

Opening his eyes again, Xia Ren already had an extra talisman in his hand.

He looked at the palm of his hand, the talisman paper was about half the size of a palm, rectangular in shape, one side of which was painted with simple lines, it looked like some kind of writing, as if it was some kind of totem or formation, every line of it They all seem to be formed naturally, like the horns of antelopes, without any trace.

The entire talisman paper is made of unknown material, it constantly overflows with milky white light, like water droplets, these substances seem to have no substance, and disappear immediately after dripping on the ground, and seem to be directly integrated into the ground, only flowing When holding hands, Xia Ren could feel their slight warmth.

With the appearance of the talisman paper, the originally gloomy, dry and cold air in the basement instantly became pleasant. With just one breath, the body felt unprecedentedly comfortable.

Xia Ren's eyes gradually became deep, and almost instinctively, he took the radiant talisman with both hands and placed it on Huichuan Lizi's forehead.

Unlike just now, those milky white rays of light didn't slide over the body, but directly merged into the body of Aikawa Riko.

Then the talisman paper gradually floated up, gently swaying over the corpse, it began to disintegrate into more staring light spots, like white snow, falling gently.

Warm brilliance filled the entire basement, and those light spots were like dandelions blown away by the wind, sliding over everyone's skin.

Lily looked up at those light spots, her eyes were blurred, as if some memories had been brought back.

No one spoke, they just stood there blankly, enjoying the dreamlike scene, fascinated.

The huge wound on Huichuan Lizi's chest was filled with light spots, her cold body gradually warmed up, and her pale skin began to bleed.

If there is a miracle in the world, it is happening right now.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was only 1 minute, and the last light spots were all integrated into Aikawa Riko's body.

The horrible piercing injury has all healed, and her smooth skin is glowing with a healthy light red color. Perhaps because the temperature in the basement is low, the fine hairs on the surface of the skin have stood up.

Aikawa Lizi moved his eyelids, then opened them, staring at the ceiling in confusion.
