As the convoy traveled in the desert, the new clues brought by Deng Ximei made everyone think.
"Ximei, you are saying that petrification disease appeared in ancient Egypt..." Lou Xiaoning was still sorting out, "Now it has appeared again. The symptoms in the second stage are different, and the overall disease develops faster. It's because of ancient times.
Egypt didn’t succeed that time, right? Otherwise, the world now would be a black goat world.”
It didn't work last time, so I changed the method this time, which makes sense logically.
Wang Ruoxiang mused: "In terms of epidemiology, sudden acute infectious diseases, chronic infectious diseases, and chronic non-communicable diseases are all different in terms of preventive measures, emergency mechanisms, and management methods because of their own
The intensity of popularity is different.
And even if they are all sudden acute infectious diseases, there are still different levels.
The Ebola virus is very scary, but its characteristics such as its rapid death rate and lack of more transmission routes limit its spread. Therefore, even if there have been regional outbreaks, they have not formed a worldwide pandemic. And petrochemical diseases
, because of the diversity and uncontrollability of transmission routes, patients become ill like a flood, and the entire epidemic is like a flood. It breaks out all over the world in one fell swoop. There can be no history of contact between epidemic areas. This is much worse than Ebola virus.
horrible.
If it's like quicksand, is it possible that it's a chronic disease? Patients with progressive musculoskeletal disease have symptoms since childhood, but the median survival period is 40 years old.
Just imagine, if petrochemical disease develops at the same rate as rheumatoid arthritis, patients will not even know it at first. They will just feel some chronic pain in some joints. After a period of time, there will be more and more hidden patients like this - you know
There are hundreds of millions of people suffering from various chronic diseases, accounting for a large proportion of the population. Almost no one is completely 'healthy' - these patients with petrochemical diseases accumulated over time and were finally exposed due to the worsening of their condition. At that time
They have all lost their ability to work and need to consume a lot of medical and social resources..."
Speaking of this, Wang Ruoxiang paused and sighed: "Quicksand-type petrochemical disease and flood-type petrochemical disease are both terrible and difficult to deal with, but chronic diseases and acute diseases have different methods. One is death, and the other is violent."
shoot."
"I feel..." At this time, Deng Ximei said again. After listening to this, she had more feelings about the fragments of the illusion just now, and her voice was still very soft: "Those quicksand patients I saw, they are like mummies.
Inactive, not only do they not consume ritual energy, they are still producing energy.
During the time of the different scale disease, the people of the Laisheng Society borrowed the power of Dagon to call the conqueror worms into the world. Each of the different scale patients consumed the energy of the ritual. This is the case for the flood type patients. Although the more they are, the greater the flood.
The bigger it is, it seems to be just because the ritual behind it is more complete. They only consume but do not produce energy, because they are struggling to resist, and their spirits have not yet been petrified. It is the source of the torrent that has swept them away."
"This is a big difference." Lou Xiaoning glared with his left eye, realizing that this difference was very important.
Wang Ruoxiang, Uncle Egg and the others suddenly thought more.
The quicksand-type petrification disease eats away slowly. The more patients there are, the more unbreakable the ritual becomes.
Flood-type petrochemical disease is a torrent, and the torrent is called by rituals. The more patients there are, the greater the power of the ritual is consumed. Will it fail by itself? How many lives will this world have to pay before exhausting the opponent's energy? Is it really possible to exhaust it?
Is it possible? What changes will happen when the Blood Pyramid is built?
However, if the enemy is engaged in quicksand-type petrification disease, an ever-increasing ritual always seems to be more difficult to deal with.
If there is a choice, why did the other party choose the flood type?
"Either those pieces of shit can't be produced, or they just can't wait any longer." Lou Xiaoning spat.
This is a simple and crude guess, and everyone feels that it is not that simple.
"No, our enemies have enough patience..." Chang Qianhang shook his head and whispered, "Professor Sun Lun, Professor Liu Jiecheng, Professor Zhang Zhang... people who do archaeology cannot reach their heights without patience. Xiao
The Gongyang Order is a group of extremely patient and well-planned people..."
Chang Qianhang's complexion was very bad. From the moment he set foot in this land of Egypt, his skinny face looked more like a skeleton. "If these people had a choice, they would definitely choose quicksand-type petrification. For archaeologists, decades of
, a hundred years is nothing, and thousands of years are not a long time..."
On the other side, Feng Peiqian sighed sadly, as if she had heard such words before.
Xiaoxu also agreed with Chang Qianhang's statement, "The average age of the members of the Little Ram Cult whose identities are now known is 76 years old."
"Is it because they are about to die that they can't wait?" Lou Xiaoning asked again.
"Probably not. The Egyptians and Kushites believe that they can be resurrected after death. They don't mind waiting in the tomb... There must be some other reason that made them choose flood-type petrification... and the previous ones.
The Ten Plagues of Egypt were too high-profile and exposed them, as if they were going to a decisive battle..."
"The ten plagues of Egypt may be part of the creation of flood-type petrochemical diseases." Deng Ximei said, "Quicksand appears quietly and suddenly, and floods are different."
Chang Qianhang pressed his head, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache, "They could obviously choose to take it slow, but then we would have no choice. Why was there a decisive battle in the first place..."
"Unless," Wang Ruoxiang took over the words thoughtfully, "the enemies of the Little Ram Sect are not just us."
When she said this, everyone suddenly understood.
Isn't there another unknown existence, that unknown power of protection?
"Let's assume..." Wang Ruoxiang speculated, "There is another force/another organization/another force that is also fighting against the Little Ram Cult for some reason, preventing them from calling for the 'True Sun God'
's actions. During this period, even before the Ten Plagues of Egypt, the Little Ram Order's operations were under attack, which prevented them from achieving their goals. They changed their plans to implement the Ten Plagues of Egypt and created a flood-type petrified disease.
"They can't wait not because they are impatient, but because if they don't act, they will have no chance to act again, and they will have no choice but to start a decisive battle with that force."
Everyone was silent, looking at the boundless yellow sand outside the car window. Under the scorching sun, there were more layers of fog.
Why do you only protect the territory of Tianji? Is it because you try your best, or for some other reason?
Or does the petrification scope of the ceremony itself not include the Tianji Kingdom?
What could that be? An organization like Sunset City? Another dark power organization?
The abnormal forces that have been active recently, besides the Little Ram Cult, are Wu Shiyu, and...that crow.
