long night fire

A large number of relic hunters have been there in the follow-up, but they still cannot escape the threat of "innocent disease".

As long as you enter there, no matter whether you have passed the "isolation zone" or not, you have a high probability of being infected with "unintentional disease"?In other words, the Eighth Research Institute actually isolates the entire area?But didn't the Eighth Research Institute leave any hindrance to let those relic hunters pass through?Jiang Baimian was having a lot of thoughts, and when he heard Shang Jianyao's confirmation, he asked back:

"Really?"

Smith nodded intently:

"Although these things are just heard, many relic hunters I know who have been there have indeed never returned, at least I have never met them again."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:

"Actually, I was wondering about one thing before:

"That city and its surrounding areas have been destroyed by 'Wuxin disease' for more than ten years, how come no one knows its exact location?

"It can feed hundreds of thousands of residents, and that force will more or less trade with the outside world, exchanging its own production for necessary resources."

It is quite remarkable to be able to guarantee a basic food supply in such an area, but even if they have a large number of factories that can produce weapons, bullets, cloth, etc., there is a high probability that they will lack the corresponding raw materials.

Even the "Pangaeans", which are hidden deep in the ground and have established an internal ecosystem, still have to buy ore, oil and other materials from the outside world.

And that city is unlikely to be like "Panguan Biology" and the Eighth Research Institute, which are famous for their secrets, have preserved their specific locations very well. When Shang Jian Yao's father's old tune team was able to find them, it was in itself. It can explain a lot of problems. Old He from the city at the end of the year also stated that he could meet people from that city from time to time more than ten years ago.

Now, Jiang Baimian probably knows the answer:

After the news spread that the city was destroyed by "Wuxin disease", almost everyone who knew its exact location rushed to try to get a piece of the pie, but only a few of them returned alive, and they never dared to make any corresponding decisions .

Smith smiled slightly embarrassed:

"I used to want to sell some supplies in the past, but after hearing those rumors, I didn't dare at all, and I don't usually mention the city. state, you need to risk your life to grab supplies, and you will have more chances if you are alive."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao applauded for him.

Jiang Baimian asked about the specific situation of the city before its destruction, and got a satisfactory answer.

Only then did they figure out the full name of the target location:

Corning Meath.

This is an ancient place name, which is different from the current Honghe language, meaning the Forest of Kings.

According to Smith, due to the impact of the southward expansion of the ice sheet, the forest there was seriously lost. Later, humans in that city and the surrounding area cut down a large number of trees in order to reclaim more farmland. The name of the forest is no longer worthy of the name.

……

The next morning, outside the ice and snow ruins.

Long Yuehong sat in the back row of the jeep, watching Shang Jianyao leaning half of his body out of the window, and enthusiastically waved to Smith and other "rootless people" who had returned south to the sphere of influence of the "White Knights".

"Goodbye! Goodbye!" Shang Jianyao shouted loudly, but he didn't implant the corresponding thinking.

When he sat back in the driver's seat, Long Yuehong said solemnly:

"Shall we still go to Cornimath?"

It is so dangerous that once you enter, there is a high probability that you will be infected with "unintentional disease".

At this time, a little bit of snow floated outside the car window, but it was not too big, and the wind was still gentle.

"Why don't you go?" Shang Jianyao asked back, "Since there are still a large number of 'innocent disease' viruses lurking there, and there is a possibility of spreading, then we can't turn a blind eye, well, when the time comes, let Lao Ge Send the nuclear bomb in, detonate it remotely, and with a bang, the doomsday crisis will be resolved."

You speak so noblely and righteously... I thought you would play the family card, after all, that's where your father last appeared... Jiang Baimian thought about it, and said to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen:

"I thought about it for a long time yesterday and had some ideas.

"The scariest thing about 'Wuxin Disease' is the unknown. You don't know how you got the disease, and you don't know when it will happen.

"But we've learned a lot about No Heart Disease, and it's pretty clear that it has something to do with New World.

"The source of 'no heart disease', we currently speculate that there are three ways:

"One is the powerhouses of the 'New World', the second is the nodes that connect to the 'New World', and the third is human's belief in Zhi Sui and even certain 'New World' powerhouses.

"So, where are the 'no-heart disease' viruses that have attenuated and disappeared all over Corning Meath?"

Gnava didn't grab the opportunity of the carbon-based man, and let Bai Chen answer:

"The third way can be ruled out. There are no living humans in Conimis to provide faith. There are only bones and a small number of 'unintentional people' left."

After so many years, it is difficult for the "unintentional people" who don't know how to produce to maintain the original scale. Moreover, although the climate in that area is relatively warm and can be cultivated, which is different from other places on the ice sheet, it can still freeze to death in winter.

Long Yuehong then said:

"The 'new world' effect brought about by faith should not be able to create such a large-scale 'innocent disease'. Since the middle and late stages of the chaotic era, there are many places with faith, but we haven't heard of any place except Koningmis encountered such a serious epidemic.

"As for the powerhouses of the 'New World', I can't find a reason why they have to destroy Conimis, and even stay there, even the follow-up relic hunters will not let go."

Shang Jian Yao smiled and said:

"Maybe it's like Yan Hu, who can't return to reality, can't control his body, and can't help himself."

"That said, it seems quite similar." Long Yuehong nodded while thinking.

After Yan Hu fell asleep, the human settlements on Huxin Island were also destroyed by "Wuxin Disease".

Although not all of them suffered from "unintentional disease", the remaining ones did not last long under the continuous "intentional disease" infection and the attack of "unintentional people".

And people who follow up to explore the island, once they stay longer than a certain limit, will also be infected with "unintentional disease".

"I think there is still a difference." Bai Chen expressed his opinion, "As a relic hunter, when you enter Conimis, you will definitely not want to find any secrets, but to obtain materials as soon as possible, even if there are 'unintentional' They interfere, and given the situation there has not been searched, they can fill their car in a few hours. In short, they should be able to leave Corning Meath on the second day, which will not exceed three days At this critical point, it’s impossible for so many people to be unlucky enough to crash into the area where the powerhouses of the ‘New World’ are sleeping, right?”

Jiang Baimian added:

"The area of ​​the entire Conimis should be much larger than that of the island in the middle of the lake. If you only operate in the peripheral area or even the edge of the city, there may not be any problems for more than three days."

What she meant was that it was impossible to create the current situation of Koningmis simply by relying on the "New World" powerhouses.

Jiang Baimian immediately concluded:

"Either there is an old incarnate body sleeping there, or the investigation created a very large 'New World' node, or a large number of nodes distributed in different places in Conimis 'New World' node."

"Why didn't the people from the Eighth Research Institute get infected with the 'Wuxin disease'? They even claimed to have searched the whole city but couldn't find my dad's whereabouts." Shang Jianyao was very concerned about this, "Can't they do more? ? How much work can this save us!"

His disappointment with the Eighth Academy is palpable.

"Maybe the people in the Eighth Research Institute have also mastered the method of clearing the 'New World' node, but the effect is not long-lasting. When those relic hunters arrive, the 'New World' node will be restored again, or the Eighth Research Institute has not Searched all over the city, and deliberately avoided the most dangerous area." Gnava said his analysis.

Long Yuehong nodded:

"The Eighth Research Institute also has 'Professor Li', 'Deputy Director' and other 'new world' powerhouses, and even the legendary darkness to provide protection. It should not be so easy to get 'innocent disease'."

"We have it too!" Shang Jianyao immediately took out the "Angel of Life" necklace, and said with one hand down, "The night is long, and I will bless you!"

Long Yuehong and the others were speechless.

The background of myself and others is indeed not much worse than that of the Eighth Research Institute...

Shang Jian Yao justified and emphasized:

"Our exploration of Conimis this time is a task permitted by the company, and we will definitely be blessed by the big boss."

It seems that there may be some truth... Jiang Baimian muttered silently.

"At that time, I will hold the 'Angel of Life' necklace, and I will advance to Koningmis with Lao Ge to determine whether the problem there is the node of the 'New World' or the powerhouse of the 'New World', or someone who is in charge of the age. Legacy." Shang Jianyao applied to be a striker.

Jiang Baimian was silent for a moment and said:

"it is good."

She went on to say:

"According to Smith's description, it's only two or three days' drive from Coning Meath and here. We're going there now. Hey, you should pay attention to maintain a good mental state."

The drive she was talking about was the drive at the speed of driving on the ice sheet.

Chapter 43 Faith

Under the slightly dark sky, one after another climbed up the green buildings and extended along the cracked road, like tombstones standing silently in a dead cemetery.

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, and Gnawa, who was wearing a "chameleon" bionic smart armor, walked side by side at a distance, with only the sound of wind in their ears.

Shang Jianyao turned his head, looked around through the helmet mask, and said with great interest:

"Gloomy sky, abandoned buildings, empty roads, one person and one robot walking towards the unknown... This is the taste of the doomsday scene in the entertainment materials of the old world..."

After two days of rushing, the "Old Tune Team" arrived at Coning Meath, and then sent Shang Jianyao and Gnawa carrying the "Angel of Life" necklace into this area according to the predetermined plan to do early reconnaissance. We can figure out the root cause of the "no heart disease" virus remaining here.

What Gnava, who is currently forming a large chameleon, said:

"One dog is missing."

"That's right, without a dog, just relying on a lonely man and a robot, it still lacks a little feeling, the feeling of wasteland." Shang saw Yao's mistake and admitted it.

He then fell into deep thought:

"But I can't find a dog for a while..."

After 30 seconds, Shang Jianyao made a voice:

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"It's all done!" he said with satisfaction.

Gnawa has established a business behavior database early on, and has certain predictions for this development.

He was even more puzzled by another question:

"Why did it take you so long to decide to pretend to be a dog yourself?

"I thought you didn't care about the so-called face of this relationship at all, and you could make a decision on the spot."

Shang Jian Yao smiled and said:

"We're having a democratic consultation and voting on who should fill that role, and it's taking a little while."

"Understood." Gnava enriched his business behavior database.

Shang Jianyao looked up at the sky, completely forgetting what topic he was discussing just now, and said:

"Old Ge, do you feel that the closer you get to the main city of Conimis, the darker the sky becomes?"

Coning Meath is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so the cold current from the south is blocked, and the climate is much warmer than other places on the ice sheet. In this season, the snow has already melted and merged into a trickle, and the earth has grown. Light green, a new scene.

This was supposed to be a very beautiful scene, but for some reason, this place is always gloomy and there is no sunshine, making people feel depressing, like the end of the world.

Gnawa moved his metal-cast neck up and down:

"Have."

On the edge of Conimis, where the "Old Tune Group" camped, this gloom was only equivalent to a cloudy day. When it came to the place near the main city, it felt like dark clouds were covering it.

"It doesn't seem to be my hallucination. This kind of darkness is related to the 'New World'." Shang Jianyao lowered one hand, wrapped around the "Angel of Life" necklace, and covered the metal skeleton with the other hand, holding the "Berserker" assault rifle.

He said happily:

"The next thing is easy, we just look for the darkest place, that is definitely the root of the problem!"

"Your reasoning is too taken for granted and lacks sufficient conditions." Honest Gnava replied, "Maybe it's just about to rain heavily, maybe the whole city is in the same environment."

Shang Jianyao taught his companions confidently:

"Old Ge, have you forgotten the motto of our group?

"Bold assumptions, careful verification!"

"This is Dabai's catchphrase, not the group's motto." Gnava remembers it clearly.

Shang Jianyao, who failed to fool the past, let out a "huh":

"Dabai is my role model!"

"That's no problem." Compared to before, Gnava has a little understanding of what is enough.

He looked at the buildings in the main urban area that were getting closer and closer, and reminded him earnestly:

"Hey, you have to be careful, 'Wuxin disease' may infect you at any time.

"Why don't you let me come in for reconnaissance first, and then decide if you want to find out the root of the problem after you understand the general situation?"

Intelligent robots are not afraid of "unintentional diseases".

"Because I will come in regardless of whether you have detected something useful." Shang Jianyao seemed to be answering that this season is suitable for a spring outing.

Before Gnawa said that you can wait for the initial reconnaissance before entering Conimis, Shang Jianyao added with a smile:

"And I'm not worried about getting infected."
