long night fire

It has been repaired by the Ark Management Committee and used to moor the ships it has acquired.

After loading the boxes of canned food and medicine onto a small cargo ship, Bode, who directed the operation, quickly invited Jiang Baimian and others to board.

Amidst the sound of the steam turbine turning, the brown-painted small cargo ship swayed in circles of water and headed for the depths of Nuhu Lake.

After twists and turns, the boat arrived at a desolate island in the middle of the lake.

This island is not big, far from being able to compare with the island in the middle of the lake where Yan Hu sleeps. It can be seen from the front, back, left, and right sides at a glance, connecting with the lake reflecting the sun.

"Let's wait on the island." Bode with freckles pointed to the rocky island in front of him.

Without waiting for Long Yuehong and others to ask, he briefly explained:

"We have to watch out for murlocs turning their faces.

"On the lake, in the water, we are not their opponents at all, and they are unwilling to leave Nuhu Lake and come to the shore to trade with us, so they can only choose such an island as the meeting place. In your gray dialect, it is, It's a compromise.

"Although this island is not too big, we can build fortifications to resist the attack from the ship. Once the murlocs are really malicious, we will stick to it and send a telegram to ask for support.

"At that time, using the drone we got more than half a year ago to cooperate with the awakened ones should be able to snatch us out."

That's right, the ordinary guards in the past are now doing things in an orderly manner... Jiang Baimian secretly praised, and asked on this topic:

"What is the attitude of those awakened ones?"

She was referring to the Awakened DiMarco kept.

"Two are very active and have now been absorbed into the management committee. There is no way around it. Their abilities are very useful to us." Bode replied truthfully, "The rest are unwilling to take on management responsibilities, but we He was also treated very well.”

Indeed, if the management committee does not have enough strength, it will be overthrown sooner or later... Jiang Baimian left Gnava as the temporary president of the "Underground Ark", and she also had the idea of ​​deterring those who are awakened. .

At this time, Shang Jian Yao was bored with waiting, and with his waist and abdomen working hard, he started to play standing long jump.

He jumped directly from the edge of the cargo ship to the island, without taking the boards that had been set up.

All Bode and the others saw was a twitch in the forehead.

Is this a monster?

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian didn't delay any longer, jumped onto the boat board in small steps, and walked onto the island.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen followed closely behind.

After another quarter of an hour, the murlocs arrived at the trading place in a wooden pleasure boat.

They actually collected all kinds of boats scattered in Nu Lake, and their ancestors passed down the corresponding repair technology, but due to the lack of resources such as gasoline, steel, batteries, etc., many boats either could not be repaired at all, or they could not be opened after repairing.

In comparison, ancient wooden boats are more suitable for them.

Looking at the gray-black faces with faint light, looking at their protruding white and black eyes and the gills from the ear to the neck, Long Yuehong felt dizzy for a while, feeling like she had face blindness. disease.

For a while, he could only remember those murlocs by their height, shortness, fatness and thinness.

The tall murloc at the head glanced around, then suddenly jumped two steps back and landed on the shore, getting closer to the lake.

When the rest of the murlocs were commotioning, he raised his palm covered with gray and black scales, pointed at Jiang Baimian and the others, and said in Honghe language:

"who are they?

"There were so many transactions before without them!"

In order to dispel the vigilance of the murlocs, the smuggling team organized by the Ark Management Committee tried to be consistent every time. If anyone really couldn't participate at that time, they would rather have one less person.

Hey, this group of murlocs are forced to believe in "Yougu" by life, and they have become vigilant to a certain extent... Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Bode and motioned him to deal with it.

Before Bode could explain, Shang Jianyao laughed:

"We are the honorary chairman of the Ark Management Committee, the boss behind the smuggling business.

"Don't worry, if you really want to deal with you, you can do it long ago, why wait until now?"

These are not very convincing words, and even Bode and others feel that they are full of loopholes.

They thought that the murlocs would definitely not believe it, so they hurriedly kept Shang Jianyao behind, trying to dispel the vigilance of the murlocs with the rhetoric prepared by President Ulrich.

——Bode and the others knew that Jiang Baimian and the others were very powerful. They blocked Shang Jianyao not because they were afraid that the murlocs would turn against each other, but to resolve conflicts and avoid conflicts, so as not to fail to achieve the intended purpose.

But at this time, the leader of the murloc came back, looked at Shang Jianyao, nodded and said:

"you're right."

Although the other murlocs didn't speak, they supported the leader with actions.

While Bode and others were surprised, Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully:

"We are here this time to exchange materials for information."

"What information?" The leader murloc was full of doubts.

Jiang Baimian said seriously:

"In your tribe, how long did the first batch of people who landed on the island in the middle of the lake wait for the envoy, and where did they wait?"

The head murloc's eyes seemed to protrude even more, and he blurted out in astonishment:

"What do you ask for this?"

Jiang Baimian's heart moved, he changed the question, and asked urgently:

"How are they now?"

The leader murloc was silent for a few seconds, and said in a tone full of fear:

"They, they, all got 'no heart disease'."

Chapter 50 New Assumptions

On the way back from that island to the shore of Nuhu Lake, until the entrance of the Iron Mountain of the "Underground Ark", several members of the "Old Tune Group" kept silent, and those conversations kept echoing in their minds:

"In your tribe, how long did the first batch of people who landed on the island in the middle of the lake wait for the envoy, and where did they wait?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"How are they now?"

"They, they, all got 'no heart disease'."

"all?"

"All."

Returning to the second basement floor and entering the reception room, Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao, breaking the indescribable atmosphere:

"why do not you talk?

"You're the least likely to be scared."

Shang Jian Yao raised his hand and rubbed his temples:

"It's afternoon, and I used my ability again, and the battery is almost exhausted."

His damaged spirit has not fully recovered.

With such an episode, Long Yuehong finally couldn't help but speak:

"If you stay in Yanhu Temple for more than a quarter of an hour, stay in the area around the temple for more than half an hour, and stay in other places on the island for more than three days, you will definitely be infected with 'Wuxin disease'?"

Jiang Baimian nodded invisibly:

"At the moment it looks like this.

"I don't know if the company has experience piled up with human lives..."

"Then what's the reason for all of this?" Bai Chen didn't care too much about why "Panga Biology" could formulate such precautions, what she cared about was the connection between the sleeping Yan Hu and "Wuxin Disease".

On the way back, Jiang Baimian had thought about many possibilities and denied them one by one. At this time, she threw out the one she thought was the most reasonable:

"Yan Hu is actually trapped in the 'New World', his body is equivalent to becoming a node where the 'New World' meets reality?

"Such nodes are out of control, and will slowly leak out the 'new world' breath, matter and..."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian paused and added a word:

"Virus."

Long Yuehong's eyes suddenly widened:

"You mean, the 'Wuxin Disease' virus came from the 'New World', spread to the gray soil through a similar node, and infected the surrounding people, just like when Yan Hu fell asleep, the human settlements on Huxin Island were quickly destroyed 'No heart disease' crushed?"

"This is an explanation, and more evidence is needed." Jiang Baimian tried to calm himself down.

It has always been her dream to investigate the source of "no heart disease".

She exhaled and added:

"In the 'new world', the 'no heart disease' virus might not be a big deal, or even necessarily a virus, but for people living on the dirt, it's deadly."

This reminded her of some books she had read before. After some human beings came to a certain place isolated from the world, the bacteria and viruses that were harmless to them brought large-scale deaths to the indigenous people.

"But, it is said that the 'New World' is a good place, there is no 'no heart disease', no famine, no cold, no monsters, no distortion..." Long Yuehong felt that the holy land in her heart had been polluted.

"Maybe there are no humans." Shang Jianyao, who was weak and mentally ill, added for him.

Hearing these words, Long Yuehong's hairs stood on end.

Bai Chen followed suit and nodded.

"'New World' may not be a good place. Didn't Ole just say that he would rather die than go to 'New World'?"

Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm" and recalled:

"Before we found out that the date of the company's 'unintentional disease' coincided with the time of the initial city turmoil, didn't we make a guess?

"In the beginning, the turmoil in the city was likely to be paid attention to, and even directly intervened in. Their collision produced certain high-level fluctuations, which brought small-scale 'unintentional diseases' to many places in Huitu...

"Now it seems that this speculation needs to be revised."

Shang Jian Yao raised his hands, trying to answer, but rubbed his forehead weakly:

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it."

Jiang Baimian glanced at him, considered his words and said:

"When the city was in turmoil at the beginning, the strong men of the major forces who entered the 'New World' with their spirits and left their bodies in the ashes more or less returned. With the attention and intervention of the executives, that morning, the 'New World' and the There must have been multiple passages between the dust and dirt, which led to another leak of 'Wuxin Disease'."

Compared with the fluctuations caused by force collisions, this guess seems more reasonable and realistic.

Long Yuehong nodded first, and then asked a question:

"Since Yan Hu's sleeping temple and the surrounding area can't stay for too long, otherwise it will inevitably be infected with 'no heart disease', then the 'Crystal Consciousness Teaching' inside and a few streets next to the Xikaluo Temple, the Golden Apple District of the original city and even the entire city Cities, where there are no human beings, have long been ruled by the 'mindless'."

In Long Yuehong's view, there is not much difference between the "Buddha's response body" and the sleeping Yan Hu in essence, and a strong person whose spirit enters the "new world" and whose body is left in the ashes and is still active, will be able to survive at first. There must be more than one.

Yan Hu will bring it, and they will bring it too!

Jiang Baimian responded with a slightly bitter smile:

"How do you think the cases of 'no heart disease' that appear in the city from time to time come from?"

Long Yuehong who asked this question was instantly terrified.

Jiang Baimian continued:

"It's just that, compared to the unlucky Yan Hu, they have more freedom. They can choose when to return and when to sleep, and they also maintain a certain degree of control over the surrounding area. Spread suppressed to very low levels.

"And I suspect that they can also consciously allocate power, who to protect or not to protect, so few people in the company's management have "unintentional disease", and the employee group has it once or twice a year, or even more.

"This point, when we return to the original city later, we can do a verification and compare the incidence of 'no heart disease' among the noble group, the official army, and ordinary citizens."

Bai Chen remembered a certain detail, and echoed with some understanding:

"It's no wonder that when Ole's housekeeper got 'Wuxin Disease', he wasn't sad, panicked, or afraid, but angry and confused...

"Some bits of the steward who he thought were supposed to protect him were not doing their job."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong felt that another link had been locked.

Pa, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm, holding on with a gratified expression:

"So we really wronged Xiao Chong back then!"

The "Old Tune Group" had suspected for a while that the "no-heart disease" outbreak in Chengqing Olive District had something to do with Xiao Chong.

Jiang Baimian laughed "hehe" and said:

"Don't forget what Teacher Du Heng said about Wu Meng and Xiao Chong.
