[Background introduction: Area 010, once famous for medical research, was almost reduced to a deserted land after three violent attacks by yellow sand and alien species. The harsh natural environment caused the remaining humans to suffer from rare genetic diseases.
, this genetic disease that is only spread among people in District 010 is named "Black Thorn". Once a person suffers from this disease, black thorn-like markings will begin to grow from the limbs. This marking will not only make people
The skin of those suffering from the disease accelerates aging, and it also penetrates deep into the human body's flesh, flesh and bones, absorbing the nutrients therein, until it completely covers the human body and enters the heart. In addition to depriving a person of lifespan, it will also deprive a person of fertility.】
[Due to this genetic disease, except for "Melissa", no newborn has been born in Area 010 for nearly ten years. However, this newborn who represents the hope of Area 010 completely disappeared after being attacked by a heterogeneous group in the CK12 safe zone. 】
[Dungeon mission: Find "Melissa" and bring her home. 】
[Copy time: no limit.]
[Note: This dungeon does not limit the clearance time. Players are advised to pay attention to the time difference between the dungeon partition and the origin partition.]
After reading the introduction of the copy, Xu Huocai looked at the man dancing happily on the rooftop opposite. He was wearing gloves, but several black meridians could be seen on his exposed fingers. At the same time, his fingers were slightly shriveled and rough.
At first glance, it looks like the result of long-term malnutrition. However, this man is not sallow and thin.
Following the other party's instructions, Xu Huo jumped to the opposite floor and followed the man down through the small door on the top floor.
After entering the room, the man lowered his voice and said excitedly: "After waiting for seven years, I finally saw a living person again!"
"You are a player, right? You are not a player who dare not walk outside! You want to go to the safe area, right? Can you take me with you?"
"I can give you money. I used to collect a lot of jewelry and precious metals! I can give them all to you!"
"I don't want to be alone anymore. I want to go to a safe zone...anywhere where there are people!"
He started crying as he spoke, wiping his tears while choking up and saying: "I'm so happy... I haven't talked to anyone for a long time. Apart from me, the only one alive here is probably the alien species..."
Listening to his confusing talk about his feelings, Xu Huo also understood his experience.
The man's name is Fan Yunhong, and his family has a small amount of assets. As he grew up, Area 010 had become dilapidated. His father used to have some connections and did some transportation business in the CK15 security zone. This was originally his hometown. CK15 was
Before the destruction, Fan's father secretly prepared a large amount of supplies and placed them in the city.
This is his hometown, and several nearby villas are assets of the Fan family. Fan's father used his position to transport supplies and renovate the houses, turning this place into a good fortress.
Fan's father's original plan was to bring his son to live an isolated life, but unexpectedly, CK15 was attacked, the city wall was destroyed, and the alien group was attracted. Only Fan Yunhong was brought out by Fan's father's dead brother.
Fan Yunhong originally planned to follow his father's instructions and live here for the rest of his life - their life is not long anyway, but after Fan's father's friend passed away, Fan Yunhong almost went crazy living here alone, and he would rather give up this kind of "food and clothing"
I also want to go to the safe zone on "worry-free" days, but this city is too remote. A few years ago, the safe zone's convoys passed here, but in the past few years, the convoys have also disappeared. They are probably talking to themselves in front of objects every day.
There was something wrong with his mind. He woke up several times in the middle of the night and found that he had dug up the body of Fan's father's friend and put it on the bed...
From the initial collapse of panic to gradually getting used to sleeping with corpses, Fan Yunhong sometimes took the initiative to talk to corpses. Then he made a bold decision, which was to put the corpses on the roof to dry in the sun.
save.
When they said this, the two of them were already in the basement. The soundproofing in the basement was relatively good and there was no problem with the normal volume. As Fan Yunhong told him, Xu Huo also saw the corpse standing in the glass cabinet in the corner like a specimen.
It is difficult to evaluate this kind of behavior, but it is not too unbelievable. Judging from the narrative, Fan Yunhong is basically a normal person.
You can go through the basement passage to the villa next to you. Fan Yunhong took out the food packages he had stored, heated them with a small heat collector and poured them into a plate.
"This is good meat. I'm usually reluctant to eat it, but I'm leaving soon. It would be a pity not to eat it." Fan Yunhong said to himself, and after a while he started to worry about how he would live after entering the safe zone. "
The supplies here must not be taken away. Can I still use money in the safe zone... I wonder if I can change my little money to a place to live."
"Was the environment in the safety zone very bad before you came here?" Xu Huo asked after taking a bite of the food on the plate.
"There are too many people, we can't feed them, and people starve to death every few days." Although it has been a long time, Fan Yunhong still remembers the shock of seeing the corpses being eaten, "Because of this, my dad wanted to
Leaving the safe zone, food will only become less and less."
"Have you got 'Black Thorn'?" Xu Huo asked again.
Fan Yunhong shrank his hands, fearing that he would misunderstand, and quickly said: "This disease will not be transmitted to outsiders, don't worry!"
"Do you know about this genetic disease?" Xu Huo looked down at the barely moved piece of meat on the plate, frowned and took another bite.
"I heard from others that a certain gene in the bodies of people in Area 010 has mutated due to environmental influences. As long as they are alive, almost everyone will get this disease. It will slowly pierce people's limbs and internal organs like thorns, waiting for people to die soon.
When I was young, almost all the nutrients were eaten up by it, so I had to eat a lot every day." Fan Yunhong kept moving the spoon in his hand to his mouth, "The more I eat, the longer I can live."
At this point, he felt a little frustrated, "If life is so difficult, what's the point of living a long life?"
"But it's always good to be alive. Only alive is there hope. If I committed suicide, I wouldn't be able to see you today!"
Fan Yunhong was very good at comforting himself. After saying this, he concentrated on eating the food. He ate two large plates in one go. Seeing that Xu Huo had a lot left, he naturally took a few bites and finished it. Then he bent down and opened the food under the dining table with a touch of his mouth.
A piece of floor tile, took out the box inside, opened it and put it in front of Xu Huo, "These are gemstones of good quality. If they are sold in other districts, they will definitely fetch a good price."
He was very nervous when he spoke, his eyes fixed on Xu Huo, as if he was afraid that he would refuse, or that he would not appreciate the contents of the box.
