Moore felt that all these had to be taken into consideration, and it was not like encountering a new continent and just going up to explore and be done with it.
This is essentially opening up a new world.
A dangerous world with a completely new ecology that was only revealed after the gray fog dissipated and actually had nothing to do with Namiia itself.
If you dare to underestimate it, you will be eaten until not even a bone is left.
"Oh, that's why we brought you along."
Darent said as a matter of course.
"The Sally family knows a lot, so I think you should lead the second group of people."
"..."
"Why, you're not happy?"
"No, I'm just calculating the time to get ashore."
Because of Moore's advice, the fleet was not in a hurry to send more people ashore. Even the first group of people who went ashore to explore had to be disinfected and quarantined after returning.
"Is the captain crazy?" Sailors complained in the quarantine cabin, "Virus? Isolate for 24 hours? Why doesn't he just isolate us for 24 days?"
"It is said to be some kind of medical law and cycle? Some only take a few hours... I don't know the details, but it should make sense."
"There's a damned reason why I'm--uh-huh...why am I...?"
He was waving his hands one second, and in the next he collapsed, holding his chest with his hands, with his eyes wide open and blood leaking from his mouth... The sailor's symptoms instantly scared everyone.
“Oh my god… is there really a virus?”
"Then we're doomed too!"
"Where's the doctor? Go get him!"
After two hours of busy work, the people in the cabin where the incident occurred were once again isolated according to their distance from the deceased. The fleet leaders received news that seven more people had the same symptoms.
"It's a kind of mycelium..."
In the specially built cabin, Moore stared carefully at the truth revealed under the microscope, and the voice came from under the mask.
"Parasitic...very small...almost invisible to the naked eye. Once inhaled, it will lodge in the lungs and suck blood to grow. Strictly speaking, it is a 'semi-plant' life form, probably left behind by the gray fog."
"It is also possible that it existed originally, but mutated due to the pollution of the gray fog." Darent added.
He also wore gloves and a mask. The wooden man's liver organs were all flesh and blood, and he was also afraid of this thing.
"Now that we understand the principle, how should we prevent it?"
"Just use fire," Moore said. "It's afraid of high temperatures. If the area is small, you can kill them with fire."
"But judging from the exploration report, the range is very large." Daelent sighed, "They are found almost all over the continent... Hairy algae? They are everywhere!"
"And if we use fire, how are we going to find things..."
Ashley sat nearby feeling embarrassed.
It's not impossible to burn down the ruins of the city, but after the fire rages, won't the things they are looking for also be burned to ashes?
"Then we'll have to wait a little longer."
Moore shook his head.
"With this density, wearing a mask for protection is definitely not enough. If it's everywhere, the air will be full of this 'gray algae fungus' and you can't avoid it. You will always breathe it in."
"What are you going to do?"
“Find animals that can move freely on shore, bring them back, and I’ll try to find antibodies.”
Moore said.
"Of course, that assumes there's something else alive in this place."
"Why not notify Shadow City?"
Ashley suggested.
The power of the society should be used in vain. For this kind of scientific research work... Xixus should be able to provide remote assistance directly?
"Both of you, come together."
Darent made the final decision.
"Moore, I'll give you a group of people to collect the materials for this fungus."
"Ashley, you come and contact Shadow City."
"what about me."
Aman frowned.
It sounds like you have nothing to do?
"Come with me and explore the coastline."
Darent pointed at him.
"Let's see what other mysteries this damn place has."
Chapter 32 Degeneration (two in one)
Coming to the City of Shadows again, looking at the turning gears on the clocks in the tall towers, Conte-Sixus's restless heart finally found some comfort.
"Good morning, Doctor."
"Good morning, Doctor."
More than half of the employees of the Engineering Council were directly converted from Sarah's Department of Homeland Security, so almost everyone knew her and would naturally nod and say hello to her when they saw her.
Sixus kept his lips shut and ignored everyone, and everyone was used to it.
If someone has just joined the society, one of the first things they need to know is "Don't mess with Dr. Sixus."
"She has a bad temper."
"Often get angry."
"Her ability to use words to mock you is even better than her medical skills."
"If you don't want to face a doctor who wants to take advantage of you when you get injured, you'd better respect Conte-Sixus."
Sixus herself was used to this cold way of treating people. She came to her office, pushed open the door, and saw a red-haired nurse in a white coat and black-framed glasses. She was putting her long black silk legs on the table, holding a large book and reading it with relish.
"Dreyerman——"
"Scare! Doctor?"
Lu Xi'er's body bounced on the chair, and he tried to jump up but failed. He overturned the swivel chair in an extremely indecent posture and fell to the ground with his legs spread out.
“Nice angle.”
Looking down at the bulging part of the other person's body, the doctor said sarcastically, "If the goddess Yingye and I have the same hobby, your trick is really powerful."
"You are probably the only one here who dares to say such a thing..."
Lu Xier climbed up with a wry smile and tried to pull her skirt, which was too short, down as much as possible.
This style of skirt cannot be seen outside at all. As for its specific origin... because she is also regarded as a friend by Her Majesty the Goddess, and once visited the manor, Lu Xier had the honor of observing the sketches and sketchbooks of one of Her Majesties, one of which contained various styles of clothes.
She particularly liked this short skirt, thinking that a skirt should be short so that the curves of legs wearing stockings can be fully revealed. After returning home, she immediately asked someone to make a set of it and wore it every day to show off to her boss.
"You have no sense of shame." Sixus commented coldly, "The threat from the gray fog and the evildoers is about to subside significantly. Why haven't you considered getting married yet?"
Although she has a cold personality, she still feels concerned for people she is familiar with.
"I won't get married." Lu Xier was stunned, and then said to her very seriously, "I want to be with the doctor for the rest of my life. We will be together forever and never separate!"
"That's a very stupid line. What play have you watched recently?"
After changing clothes, Sixus wiped his hands with alcohol while looking down on her, "Could it be that someone leaked the news, causing the customs of Mermaid Avenue to change?"
"But you are indeed quite old. The last nurse who worked with me probably has grandchildren now. If you don't want no one to visit you at the cemetery when you are old, you'd better start looking for someone now."
"I'm serious!" Lu Xier stamped his feet, "I... I just want to stay here forever!"
"Impossible." Sixus refuted her without even looking up. "First of all, I don't want to delay you. Secondly, as you get older, your energy and physical strength will inevitably decline. You know how tiring it is to be my assistant. By then, you won't be able to do this job."
This time, the nurse didn't reply. Sixus thought she had figured it out, but a few seconds later, he felt someone hanging on his thigh.
Lu Xier lowered his head, tears welled up in his eyes and he pouted: "But the doctor is alone too~~~"
As she spoke, she rubbed the black silk legs of the mixed-haired loli hard: "I just want to learn more from the doctor... I don't want to let certain things repeat themselves over and over again~~~!"
I thought this guy was just a pervert who liked to touch people's feet, but I didn't expect he had such ambitions.
It must be admitted that Sixus was shocked.
She knew what Lu Xi'er meant, because she was very unhappy and depressed for a while when she handed over her work last time.
It wasn't just the last time, but also the time before that, and the time before that... Almost every time, every time facing a destined separation, Sixus had to expend tremendous effort to get used to and adapt.
Immortality is not a gift, at least not for her.
This was also the reason why she was so easy to talk to and directly agreed to join the Society and Shadow City - she was sure that the two would have the same experience as her, and she was tired of being alone. Although nothing could happen anymore, at least, maybe, they could always be friends.
As for what Lu Xier said...
If she doesn't want this to happen again, there are only two ways. The first is to find someone who loves her and she doesn't reject him. The second is to find a way to kill her, which can be called ending the cycle.
So the elements that were not taken seriously before suddenly became important. Sixus dragged her assistant to get the big book she had read before and found that it was a book called "Micro Deconstruction".
This book was written by Sixus.
As a case of being deeply harmed by the alien virus and the mimic virus, she herself is the best example. She dares to say that no one in the world has conducted more in-depth research in the microscopic field than her. She is an absolute expert in this field, and even the gods have to listen to her.
Dreyerman couldn't stand this kind of thing before...
The corner of his mouth twitched. Sixus certainly knew what it meant if a person was willing to do something for another person that he didn't like to do before.
Is it a simpler kind of emotion, or a more complicated one?
"I know a lot of the doctor's secrets..."
There were murmurs coming from below.
"For example, the doctor likes to take advantage of small opportunities. His notebook records every street in Wayne Port where free jam bread is distributed. The doctor has accurately calculated the distribution cycle and wears formal clothes to receive them. It is obviously very difficult to grab them every time, but the doctor always manages to grab them - this is also the doctor's special ability!"
"Shut up!" Xixus glared. What was this stupid woman talking about?
"And the Doctor likes to read girls' magazines."
"I told you to shut up!"
"The Doctor enjoyed watching the plot that outsiders find embarrassing."
"That's not the case!"
"The doctor himself likes to wear black stockings, and he also likes to have his feet touched."
"I did that...I did that for research and record!"
If someone were sitting opposite, they would be able to admire the flushed face of the "Lich Doctor".
"Study why a pervert like you develops such a hobby, as well as your period of illness... Do you understand? This is a serious matter! Don't say it in such a harsh way!"
"Then don't chase me away..."
Lu Xier looked up and shook his body pitifully.
"Even if you use me as dissection material..."
"Let me stay a little longer..."
"Really... I do everything..."
What the hell!
The cursing is not caused by external factors, but simply by the emotions that surge up in the heart.
Damn Dreyerman, she knew I would... but she still made the atmosphere like this!
Did she want to make me more upset?
Doesn't she know that this will make it even harder for me?
Taking a deep breath, Sixus temporarily stopped thinking about the future and said to his assistant in a slow tone, "I didn't say I was going to drive you away..."
