If the entire Linjiang has been contaminated before and after the apocalyptic outbreak, it means that any aquatic products are contaminated by zombie viruses and psychic energy.
As a result, many survivors who starve to catch fish and shrimp will be exposed to double sources of infection.
As long as there are external factors that induce it, these people are potential mutants.
"Don't worry, the situation may not be what you imagine."
Lin An comforted Gao Tian and told him that he didn't need to be afraid.
"First of all, why did I say that this batch of crabs should come from other areas."
"You can take a look at the black fish that was also purchased in November."
"Creatures contaminated by psychic energy will undergo slight mutation, which generally manifests as the outer skin being corroded by sulfuric acid."
"Look at this fish."
Lin An picked up a dead fish and handed it to Gao Tian.
"There is nothing abnormal about this snakeheaded fish, which means that other aquatic products after November were not contaminated."
"If Linjiang is completely polluted, these snakehead fish will not be able to escape."
"and."
He took out the red hanging card he picked up before.
"On November 1st, the company **Le started supplying crabs to shopping malls."
"So these crabs should be from two batches, coming from two places."
"Only the supply of goods from this company is problematic."
After repeatedly comparing the black fish in his hand, Gao Tian took the hanging card and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Lin An nodded when he saw this. In fact, he was so sure that the crabs came from other areas. The most important thing was because of the memory of his previous life.
At this stage, the degree of erosion of living creatures by spiritual energy is not high, and most of them have not even been contaminated.
The emergence of mutated organisms will have to wait until the cataclysm begins. At this stage, there are at most very few organisms, and the plants are contaminated.
It’s just that I don’t know where this company’s supply comes from. A batch of crabs actually contained both zombie viruses and psychic contamination.
Not only that, it is calculated based on the transportation time.
There had been problems with this supply at least a week before the apocalypse broke out.
Is there an unknown area where a large number of viruses exist in advance?
Lin An's thoughts were heavy. This place was probably not far from Linjiang City.
Although it has now been determined that the reason for the emergence of the mutant is that the spider egg parasite ate the crab.
So...
Just as Lin An was thinking, the system's prompt tone suddenly came:
"Hey, the Savior Team mission: Exploring the secrets of the mall has been completed by 30%."
"The next stage of the mission is to find the cause of the spider eggs."
Sure enough, it is a staged task.
Lin An didn't think too much and called Gao Tian directly to prepare to go to the 4th floor.
Gao Tian was confused and asked with some confusion:
"Brother Lin, why should we go up?"
The mission of the Savior Team is shared with all members, so Gao Tian also knows that they need to investigate the secrets of the mall.
It's just that the task panel they saw was different from Lin An's. It only had a simple task description and no other content.
"If we want to investigate the origin of spider eggs, I think the top priority is to find the first person to eat crabs."
"I remember that guy (Wang Teng) said before he died that there was a woman who liked to eat crabs raw."
"I think so."
"Whether it's the first monster that dies in my hands or the subsequent mutants. They all have a special place."
"That's why they took the initiative to eat dead crabs. You must know that they were living and rational people at the time."
"I think there must be something wrong with the first woman to eat crabs."
"The secret of the spider eggs is probably in her body..."
Lin An nodded slightly after hearing what he said.
Gao Tian still has some thinking ability, at least not like that idiot Zhang Tie...
"You are right, then where do you think she will be?"
Gao Tian hesitated for a moment, recalling what the man said before he died.
"Should it be in the crab pond?"
"No, I just looked and there wasn't one there. They must have dumped it in a corner of the mall, right? It's a corpse after all..."
Lin An sighed softly, Gao Tian's observation skills were still a bit poor.
If An Jingtian were here, he wouldn't think so.
He said as he walked.
"Do you remember the marrow-sucking spider we killed outside? Who do you think it was? Or whose legs those human legs were?"
Gao Tian froze on the spot, suddenly thinking of the disgusting-looking monster.
"Those legs...are that woman's and those of the previous survivors!? Their bodies were combined into a marrow-sucking spider?!"
"The front is right, the back is wrong."
Lin An interrupted his words, closed his eyes and carefully examined the situation above his head.
There was silence, except for the constant transmission from the Eye of Judgment and the presence of a large number of spider eggs.
"A marrow-sucking spider is a marrow-sucking spider. The eggs of that monster have most likely been parasitic in a woman's head before."
"In order to hatch early, it controlled the woman to eat contaminated crabs and accelerate mutation."
"That's why these people actively eat contaminated crabs."
"And there's another very important point."
"Everyone stopped eating crabs after having diarrhea, which means they didn't have spider eggs in their heads at that time."
"Only that woman kept eating crabs, which means she was the first spider egg parasite."
Gao Tian understood what Lin An meant and trotted behind him.
"Then we should check the body of the marrow-sucking spider..."
"As the first monster to parasitize the human brain, its corpse must have clues!"
Lin An glanced at Gao Tian behind him angrily.
"You are right, the question is where is the monster corpse?"
.....!!!
Damn it!
After Gao Tian heard Lin An's question, he remembered that the body of the marrow-sucking spider had long ago turned into ashes and scattered in the wind due to the annihilation effect of his arrow...
"But, I still don't understand why we need to go to the 4th floor!"
Gao Tian was a little embarrassed, like a curious baby.
He usually thinks that his IQ is quite high, but for some reason, he feels like a retard when he follows Lin An.
Lin An patiently explained that he still had a good temper towards his partners.
"When I came here, there was a map of the mall's distribution under the first floor."
“The fourth floor is the restaurant area, where there is a famous sashimi restaurant.”
"Based on the situation of spider egg parasitism, there is a high probability that it enters the human body through eating parasitism."
"And that woman likes to eat raw food, so there is a high probability that she will eat at this restaurant when she comes to the mall."
“Or I’ve eaten at this restaurant before.”
Gao Tian did not give up and continued to ask:
"Brother Lin, do you mean that the spider eggs were parasitized when she was eating in the restaurant?"
"But she might also be here for shopping! Not necessarily for eating?"
"Even if she ate at that restaurant, she might not have been parasitized here? Is it possible that she was parasitized in another restaurant?"
Lin An:....
He really didn't expect that one of the six kings in his previous life, [Demon Hunter], was actually an idiot.
"Read the mission description carefully."
"[Investigating the secrets in the mall.]"
"If the spider eggs in a woman's brain come from the outside world, what does it have to do with shopping malls? There are so many fresh food restaurants in Linjiang City, how can you find them in three hours?"
"Unless this mission is hell-bent on me failing and killing people, it wouldn't be possible for me to appear like this."
As if thinking of something, Lin An subconsciously said something off-topic.
"Gao Tian, you must remember that any task released in the doomsday game must have a way to complete it! It will definitely give you a glimmer of hope!"
"It won't be long before doomsday games will release missions one after another."
"If you receive a solo mission then."
"Be sure to remember every word of the mission, it is related to your life and death..."
