I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

The concentration of the escaped poison gas gradually decreases, and after spreading to other countries it becomes a chronic virus and will not react so violently.

But poison is still poison, which is the difference between immediate death and slow death.

In this situation, Country H, which is only separated from Country R by a trench, and some small countries next to Country H will be the first to be hit.

The survivors of Country H never imagined that while they were busy dealing with the Zerg in their own country, they would be stabbed in the back by Country R.

In the hall of the Jin family mansion in Zhongting Province of H Country.

Kim Jung-an and his wife Kwon Hye-joo sat in the first seat.

Kneeling below them in order were their second son Kim Jae-nam and youngest son Kim Jae-seo, and behind them were the family managers and staff.

Jin Jae-dong, the most promising eldest son of the Jin family, was currently leading a team outside, responsible for killing the Zerg that entered their territory, and did not participate in this meeting.

Everyone in the hall wore a mask and the atmosphere was depressing, with only occasional coughs from someone.

In such silence, Zhang, who was kneeling behind Jin Jae-xi, had to sit up straight and speak first when he saw this situation.

"Master, some of the people who were sent out have returned. No, the source of the disease has not been found. Cough cough, as of yesterday, more and more people have been coughing and vomiting blood."

After Zhang Muliao finished his report, he leaned over and lowered his head to the ground.

He felt that he was so unlucky! !

It was only in early October that he was assigned by the head of the family to work under Master Zai Xi. At that time, he helped Master Zai Xi secure an opportunity to explore the secret land in Country J.

How high-spirited we were when we set out.

He thought that this trip to Country J would be a fruitful one in terms of experience, but in the end, all 20 awakeners he brought with him died in Country J, and in the end, only he and Master Zaixi returned home in embarrassment.

It's not that they don't want to continue guarding the entrance to the secret realm and watch the situation. It's just that people from various countries arrive every day, and the awakened people they bring are arranged into the secret realm by Young Master Zai Xi. The two of them occupy a high-level rest area but have no armed protection. If someone really comes up to cause trouble, it is definitely not something they can deal with with the two small pistols they carry.

"Master Jae-xi, if they are still alive and can get out, they will definitely return to the Jin family on their own. More than a dozen forces have come today, and there will definitely be more in the future. We'd better force them to retreat first." Zhang Muliao looked at Jin Jae-xi calmly despite feeling uneasy inside.

When arranging people to enter the secret realm, Young Master Zai Xi did not listen to his advice, and now he doesn't know whether he is willing to leave.

Jin Jae-xi also noticed that there were a lot more people hanging around outside their rest area today, but there were none yesterday!

He was also a little panicked.

"Well, you make arrangements to return home."

Zhang Muliao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Master Zaixi listened to the advice this time.

As soon as they left, the rest area was rented by a small force from Country G.

Of course, the first thing the two had to face upon returning to China was President Jin's dissatisfaction, but they couldn't even explain themselves.

They had agreed to find the exit and report back as soon as they entered, but no one came out for a whole day and night, and they had no idea what was going on in that secret realm.

Fortunately, news came out from Xia Kingdom two days later.

There was a general situation about the secret realm, and arrangements were made by Xia Country to have their embassy in Country J go to the entrance of the secret realm.

After learning about the situation in the secret realm, they realized that all the people they sent were probably dead.

Although President Jin knew that it was a problem with the secret realm and stopped blaming them, they were not feeling well either. After all, it was Jin Jae-xi's men who were lost. Jin Jae-xi was in a bad mood and could only comfort himself with the excuse that "my losses were great, and the losses of others were also not small."

Zhang Muliao also secretly regretted that he should not have helped Master Zaixi to seize that opportunity.

I originally wanted to lie low for a while and then help Jin Jae-xi take on some tasks.

However, they didn’t expect that an insect plague broke out in the country just a few days after they returned!

The situation then developed rapidly and bizarrely. It was not just Country H that had problems. Insect plagues broke out in various parts of the entire Blue Planet.

It simply broke everyone's cognition and was moving further and further towards a situation that no human being on the blue planet wanted to see.

The blue planet seemed to be eaten by worms! ? It was like the end of the world.

The Jin family is one of the most powerful families in Country H, but their base is not in the capital of Country H. Instead, it is mainly concentrated in Zhongting Province.

After the insect plague broke out, Zhongting Province was like a lone boat, relying entirely on the Jin family for support. No matter how Chairman Jin contacted, he was unable to get the army of Country H to come to support.

Regions like Zhongting Province that have long been completely controlled by a chaebol family are not the only ones in Country H. Several other similar large provinces have not received military support.

After all, in a place where one company dominates the market, other forces don't want to get involved. Not only do they not get much benefit, but they also have to shoulder the responsibility. Who would be happy about that?

In the end, only Mrs. Jin's family sent some support.

But the people sent by the Quan family only obeyed Mrs. Jin's orders. Even the former president and current head of the family, Jin Zheng'an, could not order them around.

Of course, it was impossible for the Jin family to protect the entire Zhongting Province, so they could only shrink and protect their own mansion.

"Can't find the source!?" Jin Zhengan said in a faint voice.

"You mean, the source of the epidemic is not in Midgard Province?"

Given the Jin family's control over Zhongting Province, if nothing is found, the only possibility is that the problem is not here. Jin Zhengan is still confident about this.

"Yes, Master, that is most likely the case."

"Two of the people sent to other provinces have also returned, and the same situation is happening outside." Zhang's staff responded immediately.

"Only two came back?"

"Yes, master. The situation outside is probably not better than ours. The other people we sent out may take a few days to come back and report..." Zhang Muliao didn't dare to say directly that the person might be dead, so he could only be vague like this.

He still knelt with his head down. No matter what the reason was, he had failed to do his job well again this time.

Zhang Muliao was very worried that he would be marginalized. After all, things were different now. Without the support of the master, his days would plummet.

Zhang Muliao felt bitter when he glanced at Jin Jae-xi who was sitting in front of him without saying a word.

Jin Zhengan also glanced at his young son who was staring straight ahead without saying a word, and then thought of the request made by Doctor Li, he slowly exhaled.

"You don't need to worry about this anymore, just leave."

"Yes!" Without wasting a moment, Zhang got up and walked backwards out of the hall without even looking at Jin Jae-xi.

Although the source of this sudden epidemic has not been investigated, Zhang has his own guess. He believes that the epidemic virus is likely brought by the Zerg, and he may have to find a way to deal with it from the Zerg.

I heard that the hospital is also studying Zerg corpses, and maybe Dr. Li has the same idea as him.

Zhang Muliao gave a bitter smile. He had no other options. He could only pray silently that Dr. Li could come up with a vaccine soon...

Seeing that the staff that his father specially gave to his younger brother was doing his job poorly, the smile on Kim Jae-nam's face was hidden by the mask.

It's fine that the eldest brother is the eldest son and is favored, but why is Kim Jae-seo, the "younger brother" who looks charming and has a questionable identity, favored?

In the end, among his father's three sons, he was the only mediocre one who was least valued.

It would be strange if Kim Jae-nam said he could be mentally balanced!

He rolled his eyes, turned sideways and said to his superior, "Father, please leave the affairs of the epidemic to me. Zaixi is weak and can't do so many things."

After saying this, he also knelt down and kowtowed, waiting for Jin Zheng'an's response.

He didn't do this on a whim. Doctor Li had been secretly won over by him a long time ago. He was in charge of the epidemic just to cooperate with Doctor Li.

Jin Zheng'an exchanged a look with his wife.

Without thinking too long, he nodded.

"Okay, Zainan will be in charge of this matter from now on. You also need to keep an eye on Doctor Li and find a solution to the epidemic as soon as possible. You also know your brother's condition, so hurry up."

"Yes, please rest assured, father and mother, your son will definitely do his best."

"Go."

Kim Jae-nam also left the hall.

As soon as he left, he rolled his eyes. How could this epidemic be so easily solved? His father was just worried that Jin Jae-xi would die if he got the epidemic because of his weak body. Humph, it would be better if he died.

Jin Jae-xi, who had been sitting in silence, had his fingers pinched until they cracked, but he really didn't have the ability to argue with his second brother now.

His physical fitness was not as good as his two older brothers. Before, his father arranged for him to investigate the source of the epidemic, which was led by Zhang Muliao outside. He didn't even dare to go out of the door, for fear of being infected by the disease and losing his life.

Mrs. Jin saw Jin Jae-xi's little movements and knew that he was feeling unwell. She said softly, "Jae-xi should listen to the doctor's advice, rest more, and get well soon."

"Yes, mother."

Of course, the epidemic broke out in Country H not only in Zhongting Province.

In fact, the poisonous gas that drifted over has spread to many places in Country H. The Atrium Province, located in the northwest of Country H, is the area with the least severe disease. The southern provinces close to Country R have already reached the peak of the disease.

Every day, large numbers of people develop symptoms, such as coughing up blood and feeling weak all over, and the death toll is being refreshed all the time.

The virus already exists in the air, but it is very thin. The more you inhale, the more serious the situation will be.

All major provinces have sent people to investigate but they have not been able to find the source of the epidemic because they cannot detect the virus in the air.

All they know is that even isolation is useless for this epidemic.

No matter whether they are ordinary survivors living together in a hodgepodge or nobles living in mansions, they will be punished for what they deserve and what they don't deserve if they disagree with each other.

People have already started dying in the major chaebol families in the southern provinces of Country H, and the medicines they had previously stored are simply incapable of curing the disease.

Once you contract the disease, there is no cure and you will cough up blood until you die. The process of waiting to die is so painful.

The famous doctors trained by the chaebols held many consultations on the network that was finally connected, but they could not come up with an effective way to contain the disease, let alone a cure.

Country H is in a gloomy mood.

Country P, which is also isolated in the ocean, has a slightly larger land area and was invaded by the Zerg relatively slowly. Of course, this may also be related to the fact that they did not take any strange means to deal with the Zerg.

Although the P country government did not act recklessly, they could not come up with a better way to deal with it. Their country's army was not large to begin with, and more than half of them were sacrificed in the first wave of battle with the Zerg.

There were some sensitive people from country P who found a way to escape when the Zerg just came out of the sea to attack country P. But those who left at the first moment missed it, and it became difficult for them to leave later.

It is impossible to take a boat, as the coast is full of Zerg.

The planes of Country P are made of ordinary materials, and a few headbutts from the blue light bugs can cause the plane to crash. No one dares to gamble with his life on whether he will be favored by the blue light bugs when taking off.

The survivors in Country P were in a panic.

Too many soldiers died, and the military had lost control of the government.

The several major forces that remained in Country P, together with the top military brass, divided up the remaining troop strength, found places to mark out their own territories, and built shelters.

The shelters they built also took in survivors, but the thresholds for admission were different for each force.

Some people did not give up seeking external help.

However, the infrastructure in most parts of Country P was destroyed by the Zerg, and no one was maintaining or repairing it, so the signal was cut off in a large area of ​​Country P.

They could only send out small teams to look for areas with signals and seek help.

The first choice is Xia Kingdom.

There are awakened people and ordinary people who accept the task of sending out distress signals from the big boss. The bosses don’t care about so many things and anyone can accept the task.

Whoever can contact the rescue team will receive a large reward.

Oss's team is one of them.

Oss's previous job was in communications. Although he was not a senior engineer, he had assisted many engineers and he was confident in himself.

Seeing such a mission and mission rewards, Oss immediately gathered a few brothers to accept the mission and leave the shelter.

Because of his previous work, Oss was familiar with the base station in his work area, but the shelter he belonged to was some distance away, so their team had to risk walking a little further.

At least go to the nearest one, as long as you get there, he will have a way.

Perhaps Oss was really lucky, they carefully traveled all the way to the nearest base station in Oss's memory and did not encounter any Zerg once.

"God bless!" Oss breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the base station.

"Come on, go in first, it's not safe here!" The teammate patted Os on the shoulder and reminded him.

"Yes! Come in quickly."

Although they were lucky along the way, they still couldn't be careless. Going into the house would always make people feel more at ease.

What happens next is what Oss needs to solve.

The teammates he called over were responsible for standing guard around the area, and they had to hide as soon as there was any sign of trouble.

It is impossible to fight against the Zerg. The seven of them can't give the Mantis Beast any chance of success.

Their strategy is to hide.

After spending a whole day, when the signal was finally connected and the Embassy of Country P in Country Xia was contacted, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

"Yes, yes, yes! I have a signal!"

"Great!"

"Great job Os! You're a genius!"

"Okay, calm down, be careful not to attract bugs here!!"

Everyone came to their senses and quickly quieted down.

The terminal in Os's hand was making a "beeping" sound, and suddenly a low cry was heard in the corner...

“Wuwuwu, the call can’t be connected, mommy, wuwuwu…”

Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.

They turned and continued to stare at this side. As long as this call could be successfully connected, their mission would be half completed.
