Fear is an emotion that any normal person will have. After Leo was resurrected in this world, he had the emotions of ordinary people, so he also felt fear. For example, the first time he felt fear was when he gained spiritual power, and his spirit entered

In that mysterious subspace, all the objects there made him feel inexplicable fear, and in the end he even did not dare to look back at the mysterious existence that appeared in the darkness.

However, due to the assistance of the accessory brain, coupled with the influence of skills such as mechanical mind and fighting will, although he felt fear, it was not intense, and it did not even reach the bottom of his thoughts. He could still be in fear.

Make the most correct judgment.

However, just now, when Leo inserted his hand into the spiritual energy of the air flow, he felt a strong sense of terror that he had never experienced before. The intensity even exceeded the mysterious existence in the subspace when stimulating the spiritual energy.

It was stronger than the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness, as if what he felt was fear itself.

What puzzled him even more was that the biggest impact of this fear was not the emotional impact, but the physical impact. While he felt strong fear in his heart, his body was boiling with blood and he wanted to rush into the mine immediately.

Along the way, he killed everything that could threaten him, including Vashj beside him.

Fortunately, Leo's will is strong enough to control his emotions and body, otherwise, he would have done something wrong just now.

It was precisely because he felt that the things in the mine were beyond his ability, and because there was not much information on hand that was worthy of reference, that he made the wisest and most correct decision, ignoring everything and directly

leave.

However, after staying away from the old mine and all the abnormal reactions on Leo's body subsided, he couldn't help but feel regretful, because he felt that the source of the spiritual energy might be related to his bloodline. If he investigated in depth, he might be able to

Find a way for him to master the power of his own bloodline.

However, this feeling of regret only stayed in my heart for a moment and quickly subsided, because compared to the gains, the dangers that would be encountered were too great, making it somewhat uneconomical.

What's more, if he wants to understand what is happening in the mine tunnel, he does not necessarily need to enter the mine tunnel. He only needs to start from the medical school. As long as he knows what the medical school does in the mine tunnel, it is easy to figure it out.

Where does the spiritual energy that bursts out from the mine come from?

Leo did not stop at Miria City anymore, but passed directly through Miria City and rushed towards Sylvia's secret base in the outer suburbs.

It is no longer important that the Ring of Plague cannot be found. What is important is that the virus studied by the medical school through the Ring of Plague has been used by Ljungberg and the others. Although, they told Vasqi and others that the virus is only targeting the empire with Beirut blood.

soldier.

But Leo's experience from the Earth Federation is very clear. Even if the virus studied by the medical school is really only targeting the blood of Beirut people, nature has too many material factors that can cause the virus to mutate. Once the virus is affected,

If it mutates, the situation will be completely out of control. In the end, this virus may really create a great plague that attacks indiscriminately.

Leo has made up his mind not to go into this muddy water. Once he tells Sylvia the whole story, he will immediately leave Velen and go to the Inge Islands. As for what exactly the medical school is planning in Milia City

He has no intention of pursuing the details of the god-making plan. He believes that Sylvia, Vaschi and even Ljungberg will take the initiative to investigate this matter. It will be easier to find a way to obtain investigation information from them.

Much more.

As for the blood wizard, he was no longer in the mood to care. And just like Ljungberg, it was difficult to judge whether Lawrence Hillman knew what the medical school was doing. After all, some medical schools had already been investigated.

Among the research projects implemented in Miria City, they are all vaguely related to the research that the blood wizard did not complete back then. The blood wizard may not personally participate, but it is not impossible to secretly add fuel to the flames and provide help.

All in all, things in Milia City have turned into a chaotic whirlpool. From the political war on the surface to the planning of the forces inside, they are all mixed together, making it difficult for people to understand. Moreover, if you look at it for a long time, there is a danger of being dragged in.

.

Leo himself is not good at things like political maneuvering. He is more accustomed to being straightforward. In the past, he had the assistance of the assistant brain system. Through absolutely rational analysis, he might be able to get a glimpse of the truth. Now it is a bit difficult to rely on his own abilities.

The best way to avoid becoming a knife in the hands of others is to step away.

Although Leo had decided to leave, the curiosity in his heart made him have the urge to stay and continue investigating. Even while walking on the road, he expected someone to deliberately cause trouble and prevent him from leaving, so that he could find a place for him to stay.

An excuse to come down.

It's a pity that the journey has been extremely smooth. Not to mention the forces planning to plot something in Miria City, even those short-sighted scavengers did not show up, and even the blockade originally deployed around Miria City did not appear.

The imperial army is also much thinner.

When passing by, Leo took a closer look. Except for a few key checkpoints that were still manned by the imperial occupying forces here, there were inexplicably fewer other soldiers. The number of patrols was also reduced, and they even encountered people like him.

The scavenger just casually checked his ID. This was completely different from the situation when he passed by here a day ago.

"There's a problem!" Leo, who received the certificate, also received information about the military camp in the checkpoint from the spiritual network. When he found that there were less than a hundred people in the military camp, he couldn't help but thought to himself: "Could it be the virus that took effect?"

Alright?"

Calculating the time, it should have only been a few hours for Vaschi and the others to use the viruses developed in the medical school. Although it is not known where they will use these viruses, frontline areas such as the Dibia Mountains should be used.

Perhaps it was a coincidence. Just when Leo had some guesses in his mind, he saw several military carriages speeding past on the road and drove directly into the military camp. Following them, some imperial soldiers got off the carriages.

The military doctor accompanying the army quickly rushed to the military camp with some medicine and examination tools, and summoned the soldiers in the military camp to conduct examinations one by one.

"What must have happened?" A scavenger who had just passed the checkpoint felt very keenly that something was wrong, and said to his companion: "Go quickly, so as not to get into trouble."

The scavenger's words had some effect, causing other people around him who were curious about what was going on to become nervous. They picked up the things in their hands and passed through the checkpoints quickly. Some of the surrounding villages even sent troops like imperial soldiers.

Vendors selling vegetables also began to pack up their things.

Leo had no intention of exploring the situation there carefully, so he blended into the crowd, passed through the checkpoint, and walked deeper into the forest along the forest path outside.

Perhaps to prove the scavenger's guess, as soon as Leo's figure disappeared into the woods, a dozen imperial soldiers rushed out of the military camp, surrounded the others who had not left, and recruited them in the name of the empire.

After gathering these people, a recruitment team consisting of more than a dozen people began to rush to the nearby villages. It seemed that they should be targeting the young people in those villages.

Although Leo left first, his mental network was still paying attention to the situation at the checkpoint, and he naturally discovered the recruitment operation of the imperial military. In his opinion, this recruitment operation was definitely the result of the empire's operation in Miria City.

Evidence of problems with the garrison.

The imperial commander in charge of this campaign looked down upon the residents of Miria City very much. Because they did not encounter any strong resistance during the attack on Miria City, they believed in their hearts that the residents of Miria City were cowards.

and cowards, recruiting these people to join the Imperial Army will only weaken the Imperial Army's combat effectiveness. Coupled with the Empire's distrust of the residents of Miria City, their recruitment of Miria City residents is limited to a small part of the railway defense

They are labor soldiers of the military and logistics units, and these people will be specially selected for recruitment, and there will never be any random recruitment.

But now, this military camp located at the frontline checkpoint has actually begun recruiting on-the-spot recruitment, which only shows that the imperial garrison stationed in Miria City has experienced a serious shortage of personnel, and the imperial army can no longer sustain it.

While the battle situation on the frontline remained unchanged, the imperial army suffered heavy casualties that shook the foundation of its victory. Leo felt that only the mysterious virus studied by the medical school could do it.

"Something will definitely happen." While Leo was moving quickly in the dense forest, he also made predictions about this virus in his mind.

This prediction is not a random guess, but an inference based on the large number of virus warfare and germ warfare conducted by the Earth Federation in the past, because in those war cases, all powerful viruses with high contagion and quick effects will be released within ten years without exception.

A second virus mutation occurs within a day, and the mutated virus will become stronger and even break artificial genetic barriers, such as restrictions on transmission types, etc.

Leo knew very well that before life forms reached the level of Omega-level advanced organisms, psykers were no different from ordinary people in the face of some powerful viruses and would not have special immunity. What's more, the virus studied by the medical school this time,

It is derived from an artifact that is suspected to be made by higher organisms, and the underlying virus material is also likely to be the organs and tissues of some powerful organisms, so this virus also poses a threat to Leo.

Thinking of this, Leo's pace accelerated a lot, and even when he reached the back, he broke away from the path opened by others, entered the interior of the forest, and headed straight towards the secret base address given by Sylvia.

Because of the accelerated pace, before dark, Leo arrived at Sylvia's other base in the forest of the Dibia Mountains. This base was transformed from a natural grotto, with some camouflage arranged outside.

and traps. Perhaps because he had just moved here from another secret base, some defensive measures had not been activated, and there were no secret sentries or guards deployed. Therefore, when Leo came to the bushes at the entrance of the secret base, the secret base's

Only those people noticed that this was the result of Leo deliberately stepping harder.

"Don't be nervous, he's one of our own." The United Kingdom secret agent who had seen Leo in another secret base immediately stopped his companion before he could react violently, then walked towards Leo and asked, "Leo

Mr. Dodd, you came much earlier than we expected. Have you found anything yet?"

Leo was not surprised that the other party would know his identity. His eyes glanced at the extra people around him, then fell back on Sylvia's men in front of him, and said coldly: "Sylvia

What? Is she here?"

"Here, I'll take you in." The spy didn't care about Leo's cold attitude, nor did he continue to ask about the Ring of Plague. He turned around and led Leo into the cave.

After passing through a slightly narrow passage, the two came to a very spacious cave, because a large number of torches had been lit in the cave, and some special reflecting mirrors scattered the light, making the cave more beautiful.

The brightness is very comfortable, neither too bright nor too dark.

When Leo entered the cave, Sylvia was having a heated argument with someone on the opposite side of the strange object through a wizard-like communication device. Judging from the fragmentary content of the argument, Sylvia should

He asked the other side to send more manpower, but it seemed that the other side refused for some reason, and the reason for this refusal was very inappropriate in Sylvia's eyes and was not enough to serve as a reason.

As soon as Leo entered the cave, Sylvia saw him. Just like the United Kingdom spy just now, Sylvia was a little surprised that he came back so quickly.

Although her curiosity made her want to know the outcome of Leo's trip, the matter being discussed now was also very important, so she could only signal Leo to wait for a while in the rest area that had just been arranged.

It didn't take long. After Sylvia's argument, the other side seemed to relax and agreed to send more people to Miria City, but the number was reduced. Sylvia was not unhappy about this either.

, after all, the number of people she reported just now was too large, and it was impossible for the other party to agree to it. Although the number of people now was only one-third of the number just now, it was already above her inner limit, and she was quite satisfied.

The mood is naturally good.

"Is everything going well?" Sylvia walked to Leo and sat on a rock very casually. Originally, she was going to ask directly if she had obtained the Ring of Plague, but when she saw Leo's serious expression, she felt uneasy in her heart.

He couldn't help but have a bad premonition and asked in a deep voice.

Leo shook his head slightly and said, "Things went quite smoothly. We found the whereabouts of the Ring of Plague at the beginning, but something unexpected happened. Now it makes no difference whether we can find the Ring of Plague or not."
