Chen Yutong used the equipment carried in the medical kit to draw blood from the lamb, then used cotton swabs to hold her wound and put medical tape on it.
Looking at the silent lamb, Chen Yutong touched her hair and praised her softly.
"You are very brave. When I was your age, I would feel dizzy when I saw blood, let alone injections."
The lamb who was praised smiled sheepishly and said shyly.
"Actually... I'm still a little scared, but after seeing it more, it doesn't seem so scary anymore."
The entire villa seemed to be soaked in a vat of blood.
Not only blood, but also corpses. No matter how much you clean up, there is always some leftover.
When she first came up from the basement, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. Even though she had adapted now, she still couldn't stand the suffocation that filled the air.
Xiaoyang asked in a low voice as he watched Chen Yutong put the test tube containing his own blood into a small silver square box.
Can my blood heal those people?
Looking at the various detection parameters that were jumping on the display screen, Chen Yutong touched his chin and thought for a long time, mumbling to himself.
It’s not certain yet, but there is indeed a certain type of antibody in your body that can inhibit the secretion of active enzymes by Nachomycelium, which will help us develop vaccines or antidotes against this special fungus.
Not all organisms will be affected by nacho. A very small number of people do not have any reaction after eating nago. Some antibodies in the body inhibit the infection of nago hyphae and use the digestive system to completely digest it. This
The probability is about 1 in 10,000.
The lamb is not the only antibody carrier in this settlement, but most of the other antibody carriers, along with those who have not been brainwashed by Band 03, shared in the previous commotion.
Therefore, this little girl who had antibodies and was lucky enough to survive is particularly important.
The mind interference device can brainwash addicts who have entered a "fugue" state, and the combination of the two is the culprit of the tragedy at Pinecone Farm.
If a vaccine or antidote can be developed that inhibits the growth of Nagomycelium, the Torch Church's brainwashing of various settlements in the diocese will naturally be lifted.
Of course, material-level technology can only solve material-level problems, and mental-level brainwashing will still take a long time to repair.
The Torch Church's dominance over the local area is not entirely achieved through collecting fruits. They use the ignorance of the serfs under the plantation economic model to gain a large number of believers.
Rather than saying that their rule is achieved by using fruit and mind interference devices, it is better to say that they have the conditions to do this after achieving complete rule.
Tragedy like the one at Pinecone Farm may have happened more than once.
Looking at the elder sister who was thinking about something solemnly, Xiaoyang asked curiously in a low voice.
"Is sister a doctor?"
"Hmm... It shouldn't be counted," Chen Yutong thought for a while, and a smile spread across his brows, "What my sister is good at is not treating illnesses and saving people, it's probably research."
"Research?" Xiaoyang tilted his head.
"Well," Chen Yutong nodded slightly, "Using existing knowledge to explore unknown puzzles, you can understand it this way."
The little sheep nodded in understanding. It always felt like...
What an awesome look.
Although she still doesn't quite understand what the so-called unknown mystery is.
Seeing the envy on that young face, Chen Yutong guessed what she was thinking, smiled and reached out to touch her hair.
"Want to learn?"
"Um!"
The lamb's eyes lit up and he nodded his little head excitedly.
But perhaps thinking that his abrupt request might cause trouble to others, those big bright eyes suddenly dimmed again.
The little sheep whispered shyly.
"Um. I don't know anything. Would it be troublesome to teach me...
...If it causes trouble for my sister’s work, forget it.”
"How could it be troublesome? Rather, it would be great to have an assistant."
The conversation started and he couldn't stop it. Chen Yutong continued with a smile.
"We here don't have as many rules and regulations as the academy, but the ones we see most are guys who use their muscles to think about problems... Although those people are not bad, and some idiots are quite cute, there are not enough people who can discuss problems.
, such a big project is actually entrusted to me, a newcomer."
Stroking her fluffy hair, she looked into her big worried eyes and said softly.
"And...sister, I will become a grandma one day. When that time comes, I will have to leave the unfinished work to you."
That childish face was once again glowing with joy, and behind that cheerful child, there was a glimmer of hope that had never existed before.
No one had ever said such a thing to her in her past memory.
Or to be precise, no one has ever considered her to be an important person, not even herself.
It doesn't matter what she thinks or does, as long as she plays the role of a well-behaved and sensible daughter, a lawful hostage, and the young lady's playmate... it's enough to put it on the windowsill like a vase.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that her life had meaning again, and she no longer had to wait for the fate that had been arranged.
With his face flushed, Xiaoyang nodded vigorously and said with determination.
"Well! When the time comes...just leave it to the little sheep!"
Although he knew that childhood dreams were always fickle, Chen Yutong did not say those cold water words, he just smiled and touched her head.
"Well, come on!" The door of the tent.
Chen Yutong walked out of the door with the rosy-cheeked Xiaoyang and gently patted her shoulder.
"Is it okay to go back by yourself?"
"Yes!" Xiaoyang nodded seriously, "I remember the road." Chen Yutong smiled, nodded, and continued.
"After you go back, you have to make it clear to your good friend Yin Yin. I think...those words may not have been her original intention. She may even regret those words now."
Hearing Yinyin, Xiaoyang lowered his head in depression, and after a while he whispered.
"Yinyin...really doesn't think so?"
Looking at Xiaoyang who was asking for advice seriously, Chen Yutong thought for a moment and said.
"Human beings are very complex creatures, and they will have many thoughts in a day, some negative and some positive... What you say when you are emotional may not necessarily be what you think the most, it may just be that thought that happens to appear in your mind.
So adults can control their emotions, but you are still children, so it is normal for you not to be able to control it."
When she said this, she smiled.
"After such a long time, Yinyin should have calmed down. As long as you communicate patiently, you will definitely clear up the misunderstanding."
The little sheep nodded in understanding and lowered his head in gratitude.
"Thank you...I understand."
"Well, go ahead."
Looking at the girl who turned to leave, Chen Yutong had an aunt-like smile on her face and waved gently.
What a sensible and good boy.
Suddenly I want to raise one.
Just when she looked away from the lamb's back, a gentle cough came from the side, accompanied by a teasing tease.
"How did I become an idiot who only thinks about things with my muscles?"
Chen Yutong blushed when he heard the familiar voice, and turned to look at Lao Bai who was leaning against a pillar not far away.
"When did you come...wait, did you hear me?" Lao Bai coughed dryly and said.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I just wanted to come here to ask how the situation was, but I happened to hear it as soon as I reached the door."
Moreover, this tent was set up on the patio in the center of the annex. Even if he wanted to avoid it, there was nowhere to go back.
avoid.
"I should apologize..." Chen Yutong said with an embarrassed expression on his face, "But I didn't mean any harm, I was just joking..."
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm not the kind of man with a small belly," Lao Bai grinned, and then said, "How is the antibody? Can it be used?"
Chen Yutong nodded, but then shook his head slightly.
"Well, it has been clinically observed that the phenomenon of inhibiting the mycelium of the anti-aphrodisiac is observed, but it may take some time to completely solve the effect of the anti-aphrodisiac."
Lao Bai nodded and continued.
"What now? Are you planning to go back to base or not?"
"Of course I stay here," Chen Yutong said without hesitation, "Although it is surprising, here is the best experimental equipment, and there are so many 'patients'. If you want to develop an effective vaccine as soon as possible, this is the best place
Proving ground.”
Lao Bai joked.
"It seems we have to stay here for a while." Chen Yutong said slightly embarrassed.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Nothing, that's all we can do."
Grinning, Lao Bai paused for a moment, gradually put away his joking expression, and continued in a serious tone.
"However... I must make it clear to you that the danger here has not been eliminated. Although we repelled the joint offensive of the Torch and the mutants, to a large extent they suffered the disadvantage of not having large-scale combat experience. Very
It’s hard to say what will happen next.”
Chen Yutong nodded and said seriously.
"Well... I understand. If the situation goes wrong, I will follow the arrangements and evacuate from here."
"I can rest assured that."
Lao Bai smiled and was about to say something else, when the signal light on the inside of the helmet flashed slightly, and then the voice of his teammates came from the communication channel.
"Boss, there are two motorcycles approaching about five hundred meters from the north entrance!"
After hearing the report on the communication channel, Lao Bai's expression immediately became serious, and he pointed his index finger on his helmet and asked.
"what colour?"
"I can't tell what color it is...but it's obviously a human being. The equipment looks like a local wastelander, but it's too strange to come here at this time."
Pinecone Wood Farm is not a settlement open to the outside world. Generally, traders who are not familiar with it will not even come close to it.
Many slave-catching teams active in this area are controlled by farmers here.
"Wait for me to come."
After hanging up the communication, Lao Bai looked at Chen Yutong.
"We have work here, I have to go to the entrance of the settlement immediately.
Chen Yutong nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"Well, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I will tell you immediately if there is any progress.
"If there is any situation, you can contact me in time, or contact my teammates.
After leaving these words, Lao Bai stopped staying and left in the direction outside the manor.
At this moment, at the north entrance of Songguomu Farm, two motorcycles parked on the side of the road, and two dusty men stepped out of the cars.
They carry rifles on their backs and ammunition bags on their motorcycles. If they come to visit at night in this attire, they will be picked up by the locals in any settlement.
However, when they arrived here, no one came up to question them. Everyone at the entrance of the settlement looked heavy or numb.
They dug pits next to the farmland, pushed the bodies one by one to the door on carts, and then dumped them into the pits and covered them with soil.
At first, Li Jinrong didn't see the corpses. It wasn't until he smelled the strong smell of blood that he discovered the corpses piled next to the haystack.
Most of those corpses were in pieces, and many of them had been chewed into human shapes, as if they had been snatched from the mouths of wild beasts.
His Adam's apple moved and he couldn't say a word.
Xiao Yue, who was next to him, was the same. His face became even paler, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a while before he spoke with difficulty.
A word came out of his throat.
"Oh shit…."
"What the hell is going on here?!" It's like...
It's hell.
At this time, a powered armor came through the open door and stopped in front of him.
The helmet's visor opened, and Li Jinrong saw that familiar face again.
"Lao Bai." Lao Bai nodded. "We meet again."
Li Jinrong glanced around and took a deep breath. "What exactly is going on here?"
"Unfortunately, we were involved in the experiment of the Torch Church," Lao Bai said with a hint of gloom on his face, looking at the corpses piled up in a hill not far away, "Originally, as long as we controlled the farmers here, we could have buried them.
The bombs here are being defused bit by bit, but they are one step ahead of us."
Xiao Yue looked at him blankly. "Experiment?!"
Lao Bai: "About the experiments on mind interference devices and fruit-taking... You are from the south, so you should have heard about what they are doing."
A trace of astonishment appeared on Li Jinrong's face, and he stood there frozen for a long time before continuing with difficulty.
"I have heard of it, but not the specific content of the experiment. The settlements in the Haiyia Province are more difficult to access than the settlements here... Damn it, what do they want to do? What kind of experiment is this?"
He had indeed heard about the experiments of the Torch Church. After all, those people did things without any disguise.
But seeing those thousands or even tens of thousands of corpses, he still couldn't imagine what kind of experiment this was.
However, the evidence was right in front of him.
Not far from the pile of corpses, there was a fat giant like a hill, piled on the ground like a pile of rotten meat, giving off a putrid smell.
If he remembered correctly, they were biological soldiers transformed by the Torch Church using mutants, and their model seemed to be called Goliath.
Several farmers-looking people were wielding pickaxes and shoveling the soil silently, planning to dig a hole big enough to bury it.
Fortunately it's winter now.
Otherwise, the smell here would probably be much more impactful than it is now.
Lao Bai was silent for a while, then sighed and said.
"I'm no less confused than you are. I'm afraid no one knows what kind of heaven they are going to except those lunatics themselves."
No one knows how much it will cost to get there.
After interrogating the executioner named Li Jie, he already knew it completely...
Those guys couldn't communicate at all. Li Jinrong squeezed out a sentence from his throat.
"….They must be stopped."
Lao Bai nodded.
"We think so too. If they are allowed to continue to rot, sooner or later everyone will be dragged into the water...Today it is Jinchuan Province, tomorrow it will be the river valley, and then we don't know how far the trouble will spread.
"
"We have our own troubles to deal with, and the tide that hasn't stopped for a century and a half is coming soon, but our managers think we have to do something."
"Let's talk about cooperation." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.
Xiao Yue glanced at Li Jinrong standing next to him and asked in a low voice.
"What does he mean?"
Li Jinrong replied in an uncertain tone, "This is probably a signal of cooperation."
He really wants to climb the big tree of the Alliance. If they can get help from the Alliance, they can at least get a stable rear.
But he didn't expect that the alliance would take the initiative. Xiao Yue looked at him and said hesitantly.
"Would it be a good idea to report to the organization?"
He knew that the boss suspected that there might be a mole planted by the Torch Church inside the Iron Tower. Just as they would send female agents to the church, the other party would naturally think of this idea.
Moreover, the Torch Church, with its huge manpower and technical reserves, can make this matter more secretive and even more difficult to detect.
However, having said that, just the two of them cannot represent the entire Tower Organization.
Besides, at least some people are trustworthy. Li Jinrong thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Listen to what they say first."
After saying that, he locked his motorcycle, handed his weapons to the soldiers on duty at the door, and followed Lao Bai towards the settlement...
The long night is finally over.
When the dawn sun rose, the Heart of Steel finally reached the sky above the outskirts of Jinhe City, overlooking the ground like a towering fortress.
The birds and animals hiding in the forest were frightened by the arrogant power and ran away from it.
Those who were disturbed were not only the timid aliens, but also the mutants hiding in the city.
However, they do not know what fear is and will not run away with their tails between their legs.
The foreheads hidden in the ruins were glowing with green oil, and the grinning faces were filled with bloodthirsty and ferociousness.
The only expression of fear could not be seen on that face.
They waved the weapons in their hands, even fired their rifles at the airship more than ten kilometers away, and shouted in rude voices.
"Come here if you dare! Two-legged coward!"
"Let your mutant grandpa see how many of your heads he can chop off!"
"%￥#@!"
"Ouch!"
Seeing that the airship didn't respond, they simply turned back, grabbed a dozen small and ugly wretches from the prisoner cages, and pushed them to one of the buildings of the "Champion" Biopharmaceutical Research Institute.
The roof of the building.
This is the tallest existing building in Jinhe City.-N
Ignoring the men and women's pleas for mercy, they chopped off their heads with a knife, hung them by their ankles with ropes, and threw them outside the building, letting their blood flow down the outer wall of the building.
Like a scarlet waterfall.
The reveling mutants roared with excitement, whether they were bleeding, being drenched in blood, or just watching in excitement.
For them, blood sacrifice of a few two-legged animals is an entertainment program.
It is also a ceremony to pray for a "good harvest".
The prisoners who were locked up in cages like animals were shivering, their faces without exception were full of panic, and some simply didn't respond, sitting blankly with their eyes blank...
The airship just looked at them quietly, and then dropped its anchor chain.
Although all the minions didn't take the airship seriously, as the leader of the clan, Jia En still had a trace of surprise on his face when he saw the airship, and then he frowned like a caterpillar.
He wrinkled up with a hint of solemnity.
He finally knew what happened last night. But he didn't understand why the alliance went to war at this time.
The apostle of the Torch Church personally told him that when winter passes, an unprecedented wave of waves will erupt in Qingquan City. The alliance should be preparing for war at this moment.
Logically speaking, there is absolutely no room for action to thwart their plans.
Gomo, who was standing behind him and facing the building, said softly:
"Our allies hope that we can deal with the forces of the Pinecone Farm Alliance that took over there. The bishop suspects that they are doing something bad, which may threaten their ongoing plans."
Hearing Gomo's voice, a cruel smile appeared on Garn's lips.
"He still has the nerve to ask us, aren't they going to explain what happened last night?
Gomo sighed softly.
"He is sorry for the accident last night. No one expected the alliance to respond so quickly. Normally, those people would make plans before taking action, but now they obviously sent people over first. In addition, there were losses during the battle.
For the prosthetic body and weapons, the church will compensate us double.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with more sounds. www.
yeguoyuedu.com Both Android and Apple are available.】
After hearing these words, Jia En's brows finally relaxed a little.
In the Qi tribe, power equals status, and whoever has the bigger fist is the leader.
Therefore, the equipment that can make people stronger is far more valuable to them than those green-skinned consumables.
The most indispensable thing for the Qi tribe is warriors.
They have been fighting since they were born, they learned to hunt before they could talk, and they learned to eat people before they could walk.
Each of them is a soldier. But——
"Tell him, I took this job, but it's not a good idea to leave the city now. At least you have to wait until it rains or fogs," Garn said solemnly, looking at the airship. "The barrel is like a hedgehog.
I’m afraid I’ll get beaten if I leave here.”
There are bunkers in the city, and without the guidance of ground troops, the damage caused by the shelling is quite limited.
But it's different on the plains.
Although there is a large forest from Jinhe City to the Pinecone Wood Farm in the eastern suburbs, you still have to pass through one or two stretches of open land.
A dozen or twenty people may be fine, but a large-scale march of hundreds or thousands of people will definitely be seen, and then the failure last night may happen again.
Seeing Ga En's concerns, Gomo smiled softly and continued.
