"Head, you're so heavy."
Just then, Yoru voiced her protest.
Su Bai woke up and realized that the position of the two was indeed a bit ambiguous. He was currently riding on Yoru's body, and the palm that landed on the girl's chest gave off an abnormally full feeling.
No matter how he looked at it, Yoru this little guy was very unpredictable.
Su Yun immediately sprung up and rebuked, "Yoru, what are you doing? Why did you attack me? "
Yoru crawled up without saying a word, took back the alloyed blade on the snow and sheathed it back into its scabbard on her back. Finally, she walked to the lake and sat down at the spot where Zero had been fishing. She said, "Because I want to see if my head can react in time after being ambushed."
Su Tong was relieved, and said: "So you were afraid of being attacked like how you were in the Bidis City."
"That's right." Yoru said in all seriousness: "You are our head, I don't want you to be killed for no reason. "Now it looks like your reaction and strategy can be considered to be up to standard."
Upon hearing Yoru's words, which seemed to be filled with arrogance, Zero unhappily replied, "Then I really have to thank you."
"You're welcome." Yoru replied honestly.
After being played by Yoru, she had lost all interest in fishing. He sat beside Yoru. Looking from the side, the girl had a beautiful curve of ups and downs. Her skin was not like that of other female warriors. After years of fighting, it had either fallen into wounds or become rough. Yoru's skin was snow-white, crystal clear, and brimming with a luster full of vitality.
However, the girl seemed to have returned to her natural dazed state. She just sat there in a daze, staring at the lake ahead.
Yoru was dressed in casual clothes today, but looking at the wide collar of the shirt, she could still see that the body that was wrapped in bandages was still there. Zero asked, "Are you still not going to remove that thing?"
Yoru revealed a confused expression. Only after Zero's gaze landed on her collar did she react, "This is a special technique passed down in my family that can restrain your killing intent and other auras. The longer the binding was in effect, the greater the explosive force would be when it was released. Therefore, once used, it cannot be removed unless there is a critical moment. "
"Is that so? I even thought you were preparing for your last visit to the Bidis City.
Yoru nodded and said: "My intuition tells me that this expedition won't go so smoothly. Furthermore, with this method, I would have to sleep for at least three to five days before recovering after releasing my pent-up power. Therefore, we cannot undo it right now. "
"So that's how it is." With Yoru's current abilities, she would still need to sleep for a few days after releasing all of her energy. This meant that this method would cause quite a bit of damage to the girl's body.
Sure enough, there was no such thing as a free lunch.
He had been living in this new era for quite a few years, but he had never heard of a method that could be used to increase one's battle prowess. even in the Three Wealthy Classes, there might not be such information. In this way, he was even more interested in the clan that stood behind Yoru.
The whole afternoon passed just like that. Perhaps they were disturbed by the smell from the battle earlier, but basically, none of the mutated fishes in the artificial lake dared to surface, so not even half of them were able to survive. When they arrived at the Western Mountain, he could only put away his fishing gear unhappily and return to the Pavaric with Yoru.
On the morning of the second day, when Zero had just woken up, Biansi sent a servant over, saying that the results of the sample that she sent over for analysis were already out. Now, Biansi invited him over to share breakfast, and also discussed his plans to attack the Bidis City.
When Zero invited him to the dining hall, Helper was already laying out the tableware. The chef quickly pushed the dining car in, and with the help of Helper, he quickly placed the food on the table. Today's breakfast consisted mainly of bread, milk and a few slices of smoked meat. The side dishes are broccoli shredded, fruit salad and mashed potatoes. With Biansi's status, such a dish was a little shabby. But in fact, it was not easy to get a free meal like this in troubled times.
This table of food alone was enough for an average family in the wilderness. It was enough to be called luxurious.
As the chef was setting up the dishes, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door and Biansi's hurried tone of voice sounded out. The patriarch of the Black Rose Home seemed to be giving orders while walking, as he walked straight to the door and occasionally heard words such as "sample" or "investigation".
"..." That's basically it. You guys go and check it out immediately. At the very most, I will know the result by nightfall. "
At the entrance of the dining hall, Biansi waved her hand, and a few well-dressed men in suits beside her continuously nodded their heads as if they were recording something. After she finished speaking, Biansi walked into the dining hall, while the others silently took their leave.
When she entered, the dishes had just been set up. The chef and the Helper left respectfully and closed the restaurant's door for the two. Thus, only Biansi and Su Yun were left in the large dining hall.
Biansi did not hold back, she pulled out a chair and sat down. In her hand was a flatbed intelligence brain, and at the same time that she pushed the intelligence brain to zero, she also picked up a piece of bread. Pulling a bit off the golden bread, Biansi put it into her mouth. No matter what she did, her posture seemed so graceful, as if every movement had been meticulously designed.
Su Yun took the intelligence brain and asked: "What is this?"
"Look at the results of the test, they are quite interesting." Biansi took another sip of the milk. The white milk stains were still on her lips, but she stuck out her tongue and swept it across her lips, then rolled it all into her mouth.
After watching the battle, Biansi rarely did such a "crude" action. However, there was no doubt that this small action of hers made her seem somewhat more sexy.
He quickly focused his attention on the intelligence brain and swiped his hand across the display button, only to see that a file had already been opened. The chemical formulas and terms on the document that Zero could not understand, he had no choice but to drop down and look directly at the "Test Results" column.
The form was filled with the words "coronavirus." Unfortunately, Zero knew nothing about the term. He looked towards Biansi, who elegantly but quickly finished off two pieces of bread and a piece of smoked meat.
Biansi took a sip from her mouth and then said: "You definitely wouldn't think that the thing that we detected on the specimen was a coronavirus. In the old era, the virus was one of the main culprits of common viruses such as cold and fever. However, in the new era, we believe that strong radiation has caused the virus to die out or have a new mutation. In short, in this era, even ordinary people rarely caught a cold. However, the sample you sent over contained this virus. That is to say, the environment of the Bidis City is a hotbed suitable for the existence of this virus. "
"In other words, a virus that does not pose any threat to humans is fatal to the Subterranean Clan?"
"Well, that explains why they use human drugs like aspirin. Our researchers discovered that the coronavirus has a very frightening ability to destroy the genes of the Subterranean Clan. Once it enters the subterranean race's body, it will initiate a series of gene crashes. Aspirin, though it inhibits them, cannot completely counteract them. At most, we can only delay the rate at which the genes are collapsing. " Biansi slightly narrowed her eyes, and revealed a dangerous smile: "Based on this, I have come up with a plan. If we can send this virus into the Bidis City and let it spread freely, then, when the situation is out of control, what kind of reaction do you think they will have? "
After pondering for a moment, Su Yun said, "Their medicine is extremely scarce. Considering that the t
rade relationship between Bidis City and himself has already persisted for several years, they will naturally seek help from Pavaric."
"That's it. If nothing unexpected happens, we can use this method to slowly lure the Subterranean Clan out of their tortoise shells." Biansi added: "Of course, we still have to think through the detailed methods, I have already sent someone to investigate some environmental data, and should be able to come to a conclusion by tonight. But overall, the main thrust of the plan will not change, and that's the inspiration I had for following your advice yesterday. Otherwise, you can code this plan. "
"Code name?" For some reason, Zero suddenly thought of the fishing that he had wasted yesterday afternoon. He smiled and said, "Why don't we call this fishing operation fishing?"
"Fishing? It's quite appropriate, so I used it! "
Chapter 400 - Plague
In recent days, the Bidis City had been enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. The dwarven coolies who had been extending the city up and extending its appendages every day were also gone. Sacrificial length had already ordered for the citizens of the city to stay in their own houses. The only people still active in the city were the patrolling soldiers and the busy nobles at the bottom of the city.
Most of the dwarves had no idea what was going on, except that many of their people seemed to have contracted serious diseases recently. For three days in a row, the corpses of his family members were thrown into the Well of the Abyss everyday. As a result, the rumor of the plague spread throughout the upper levels of the city.
Plague, that's a taboo word. From the moment Subterranean Clan was born to the end of her life, the vast majority of the Subterranean Clan possessed a robust physique. Forget about the Snake Lady scorpion man who had the potential to become a warrior from the moment he was born, even if dwarves worked hard, they would rarely get sick. But in the Bidis City, there was such a legend. Legend has it that when the Bidis City first started constructing, there was once a plague.
In that plague, whether it was strong warriors or hard laborers, more than half of them died. Those were the darkest days in Bidis City, and every day, there were people who died in excruciating pain. The Death God seemed to be standing in the middle of the city, no matter how much the Sacrificial length prayed to the abyss, he could not stop this disaster from continuing.
No one knows when the plague ended, just as quietly as it happened. After that, there were no more major outbreaks, and subterranean race finally had a chance to recover. After the plague, the number of people who had been wiped out had risen to the level of three to five thousand. The Sacrificial length will credit this to the Abyss, and believe that this place will be protected by the King of subterranean race, Naga.
From then on, the news that Naga would one day awaken from his deep abyss had spread throughout the city.
But now, the Bidis City did not seem to be able to wait for Naga to wake up.
As dwarves at the lowest level of subterranean race, they were born short and could not become warriors, so they could only act as laborers, and thus could not share information with the nobles. The important resources and information of the Bidis City were all in the hands of the nobles at the bottom of the city. Under such circumstances, suspicion and rumour rose everywhere, making the dwarves who lived above the city uneasy.
It was not only the dwarves that were feeling uneasy, Messritt had also felt uneasy recently. As the Sacrificial length, it possessed life force that was several times greater than its clansmen. Compared to other races, the life of subterranean race was very short. Strong warriors had a lifespan of only ten years, dwarves had an average lifespan of only five to eight years, elite warriors could live up to fifteen years because they had completed their initial transformation.
And only a life form like Messritt, who had completed three transformations, could have a lifespan of nearly forty years. long guard, who had the same longevity as Messritt, and Morson, the leader of Enlightenment. These two elders came from the warrior and toiling class respectively, but at the same time, were the cream of the crop. Especially Morson, he was born of a lowly background, yet he possessed the innate ability to come into contact with the Primordial Su world. He became the only unusual person among the subterranean race that was able to communicate with the Primal Su.
Messritt, Huo Xian and Morson had all experienced the plague in the new underground city. Messritt did not forget that dark memory, but he did not expect that history would repeat itself.
In fact, after the plague disappeared, the disease did not stay far away from the Subterranean Clan. Every year, only about a hundred people are infected with the strange virus. Although the subterranean race was comparable to the most advanced humans in terms of science and technology, as intelligent species, they lacked a civilization that could be passed on on on at a thousand years like humans. Thus, the coronavirus that appeared in the old era, to the Subterranean Clan that lived in the new era, they did not know their composition and the reason behind it. Thus, they were unable to eliminate it, let alone eliminate it.
This situation only improved after the first transaction with the Pavaric. At that time, the subterranean race found the black-coloured blood in the abyss, and through various attempts discovered that they were the power source that could be ignited. This accelerated the development of the Bidis City and at the same time, became an important currency in the trade between the city and the outside world. When he made his first trade with the Pavaric, Morson had unintentionally discovered that among the medicine that the humans had provided, a medicine called aspirin had a very obvious effect in delaying the suffering of the people affected by the disease.
Therefore, in the future transactions, Bidis City would specify some side medicines. Although they only needed aspirin, but in order to prevent humans from discovering their secret, the wise Morson pointed out that they couldn't trade humans for a single drug. However, with the supply of Pavaric, the number of people infected with Aspirin per year is decreasing year by year.
Messritt was very pleased with this and believed that one day, his clan members would be able to get rid of this terrifying disease. However, three days ago, since the first member of the clan to be newly infected, there had been a succession of patients who had appeared one after another. The plague this time was concentrated in the ranks of the warriors and nobles, and by today, many of the dwarves and laborers in the upper echelons had begun to be infected with the plague.
This caused the city at the bottom of the Bidis City to be in a mess, where people died everyday. The number of deaths was so shocking, the highest average being the number of deaths per day since the creation of the Bidis City.
"My King, Naga, what is going on? Could it be that the Abyss has abandoned us? "
In between prayers, Messritt's beautiful face was filled with worry. It stared at the portrait of Naga on the wall and sighed with extreme sorrow. At this moment, the sound of crutches hitting the ground came from behind him. Sacrificial length turned around and saw Old Dwarf Morson coming with his hands behind his back.
"I can't control the situation any longer." Morson sighed: "Messritt, we don't have enough reserves for the medicinal herbs. If this goes on, we will soon be without medicine. Furthermore, the plague this time was extremely terrifying. Even if it was the right medicine, the control of the plague was far from enough. "We must think of a way, or else …"
Old Dwarf did not continue, but how could Messritt not know the outcome. Sacrificial length closed his eyes, as though he had thought about something, and made an important decision. "Since things have come to this, I can only ask Pavaric for help. By this time, we can no longer care whether our tribe's weakness will be exposed to the human eye. Doctor, we need human doctors and a lot of drugs. "
"Your decision is right. There is no other way. "If we have to worry about these things, when the plague spreads to the entire city, we will be finished." Morson heavily tapped his cane, and said: "I'm going to the Pavaric
right now."
"No, I'll go!"
A rough voice came from outside the door. long guard, who was like an iron tower, lowered his body and came in. It looked at Messritt and said: "In terms of footwork, I'm afraid none of us clan members are faster than me."
Messritt nodded: "Then I'll be troubling you, long guard. You can convey my meaning that as long as we can stop this disaster, we will pay humanity in return. "
"Those greedy fellows again!" Huo Xian said hatefully: "This time, they will definitely take even more of the Earth Vein's blood."
"Even if the blood of the earth is good, it is not as valuable as the lives of our clansmen." Go, long guard, and pray for your early return. " Messritt said indifferently.
Huo Xian nodded and took his leave.
The caravan had to travel for a day, and they had already arrived at Huo Xian's feet after half a day. When it left Bidis City, it was in the afternoon, and it was only evening when it arrived. When the guard on duty saw Huo Xian's large lobster coming straight from the other side of the snowy plain towards the Pavaric, he thought that it was an invasion by a monster and immediately sounded the alarm. In the next moment, all the rifles soldiers shouted out to Huo Xian at the same time.
Unfortunately, the rifle's power was limited, forget about the biological armor on Huo Xian's body, even if it was exposed to the cold wind, without any onychogastric's protection, it wouldn't be able to pierce through. If it was a normal day, long guard would have smashed his hammer down, but now that he had someone asking for it, he didn't dare act rashly. It stopped outside the range of the rifle, reached back with its large hand, and produced a dwarf from behind it.
This Dwarf was the person in charge of the goods exchange with Old Luo Bo that day. He was one of the few people in the Bidis City who was fluent in the human language. Huo Xian roared at it: "Tell them that we want to make a deal with them."
The supervisor of the dwarves had never left the Bidis City in his life and was carried away and ran around the snowy plains by Huo Xian in this half a day. The dwarves' bodies were much stronger than normal humans, but they couldn't withstand such torture. Now that he was so cold that his face had turned green, and the long guard with a bad temper was roaring at him, he was immediately scared to the point of trembling. Huo Xian threw it on the ground, and the supervisor of the dwarves immediately shouted in a trembling voice in the direction of the Pavaric: "Stop … Humans, this is what we respect... But long guard, call your Patriarch out and tell him that our Bidis City wants to make a deal with him. "
