Chapter 11 Plague(1/2)
Terra Calendar 1590.1.2.
Fog City Stock Exchange·VIP Room.
An old gentleman in a tuxedo and a mask was respectfully reporting something to a young man with blond hair and golden eyes sitting on the sofa in front of him, drinking hot coffee. At the feet of the blond young man was a large white-haired dog.
"Mr. Abraham, the total value of the 16 stocks you purchased since April last year is now 2.46 million, and because you hold a large number of Flan Railway shares, you are still a Flan Railway Co., Ltd.
The eighth shareholder.”
"Also, the Wudu Railway Construction Document that you submitted in June has been approved earlier. Now the [Ouroboros Railway] in Wudu is expected to be successfully completed this year."
After the old gentleman finished his report, the blond young man also finished the coffee in his hand. The old gentleman had been observing the expression of the wealthy "master" in front of him. He found that there was no trace of wealth on his handsome and flawless face.
It grows and a little bit of joy appears.
"Can I ask you something?" Xia Xiu put down the beautifully crafted cup in his hand, and then fixed his gaze on the masks on the faces of the stock exchange staff.
"Only I can answer, and I will tell you everything I know." The old gentleman replied respectfully.
Xia Xiu's index finger and thumb on his left hand began to turn the ring on his right index finger as usual. He squinted his golden eyes and asked the old gentleman:
"I just came back to Fog City from the Stockholm area the day before yesterday. After I came back, I found that the streets outside were deserted. Even if I met people, they all wore masks. Is there any serious epidemic in Fog City?"
Hearing Xia Xiu's question, the old gentleman's expression unconsciously became sad, and he replied to Xia Xiu:
"Strange to say, a terrible plague suddenly broke out in Florence, which is located in the interior of Youyang. This plague spread to the entire Youyang at an extremely fast speed, even to the Brotalia Islands in the northwest.
The Fog and Dublin were soon affected by the plague."
"The infected man and woman initially developed a tumor between their groins or under their armpits. Later, it grew larger and larger, reaching the size of a small apple or an egg."
"Most people call this tumor "epidemic." Once you suffer from it, it doesn't take long for this death-like "epidemic" to spread from those two parts to all parts of the human body. After that, the symptoms change again, and the patient
Black or purple spots appeared on my arms, legs, and other parts of my body. Sometimes they were sparse and large, sometimes they were thin and dense."
"Now that lockdown regulations have been introduced in various places, it is strange that you can return to the Fog City from the Stockholm area. After all, most people are staying at home and dare not come out."
After listening to the old gentleman's words, Xia Xiu frowned slightly. The symptoms sounded very much like the Black Death, but he remembered that the [Central Health Bureau] had the antigens of the Black Death, and the Black Death vaccine was available to everyone.
Vaccination.
This whole people not only refers to Youyang, but also includes countries or regions such as Daeva, Oletin, Edici Federation, and Oaxac region.
The Black Death vaccine was developed by the health team of the Kingdom of Heaven’s [Central Containment Room] and released for free. There are rumors that the Black Death is the Mime virus promulgated by the [Ether Lord Nag] who is known as the loving father.
code.
To solve this viral codex, it is not only necessary to physically solve it, but also to conceptually dismantle it.
The current plague is most likely related to "Dragon Slayer".
Sure enough, in the first performance of "Dragon Slayer", the holder of the white card did not die because of his earlier intervention. Now the plague is probably related to the evil dragon.
"How serious is the epidemic situation now?" Xia Xiu continued to ask the old gentleman.
"Thousands of people are falling ill every day. And because they lack proper medical treatment and have no one to care for them, almost all of them die. No matter whether it is day or night, there are always many people dying of the epidemic, and many people die at home.
, the neighbors didn’t know he was dead until the body rotted and emitted a stink.”
"In the beginning, there were corpses everywhere. If the living people nearby could find coolies who were not afraid of death, they would ask the coolies to help carry out the corpses. Faced with this situation, the Wudu City Government could only send those bird-beaked doctors to move all the corpses.
Get in the car and then transport it to the crematorium for cremation. Now there are people queuing up at the crematorium all day long waiting for cremation..."
The more the old gentleman talked, the more sad his face became. This sudden epidemic took away tens of thousands of lives in just one month.
At this moment, after listening to the old gentleman's words, Xia Xiu's expression became more solemn than ever.
It is impossible for the Kingdom of Heaven to directly interfere with the "Encore Performance" held by the [Crimson King], and the impact of a direct head-on conflict with the Supreme Divinity would be extremely huge.
Regardless of Eden or the members of the Thirteenth Resolution Assembly, they are always concerned about the overall interests of mankind. The consequences of a direct war with the [Crimson King] are not something that the Kingdom of Heaven can bear.
In the face of this sudden plague, there is only one thing that the Kingdom of Heaven and the Youyang Alliance can do, and that is to try to contain the spread of the plague as much as possible while "keeping in line with the plot".
Xia Xiu slowly stood up from his seat and said to the old gentleman:
"Please invest the one million in my account into the railway company's [Ouroboros Railway] construction. I hope they can complete it before April."
"I see."
After explaining to the stock exchange personnel, Xia Xiu left the Fog City Stock Exchange. He walked on the sparsely populated streets: on the walls of houses one after another, and on the walls of blocks after blocks, there were
There were black, scary and big Terra characters that represented "epidemic".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What a twisted ARad field..."
Xia Xiu's spirituality could detect the twisted and decaying evil energy and twisted particles around him. They were like black dust floating towards him, but he didn't care at all.
When the black particles came into contact with Xia Xiuzhi, the [manifest projection] star located in the [Ether Ocean] burst out with intense light and heat, and the particles that came into contact with him were directly burned up.
"It's nothing to a second-stage thaumaturge, but for ordinary people or less powerful thaumaturges, this thing is quite deadly." Xia Xiu looked around and murmured.
After determining the situation of the epidemic, Xia Xiu returned to his temporary residence.
On the sofa in the living room, Xia Xiu looked at the yellow card in his hand seriously.
[You are in the play "Dragon Slayer"——]
【Characters】
[Red card: Evil Dragon (He will sweep the entire Youyang with blood and hatred!)]
[White Card: Knight (Where is the knight who slays the dragon?)]
[Yellow card:???]
【Act 1】
[Scene 1: The Destined Dragon Slayer]
【Through me, enter the miserable country;
Through me, into eternal pain;
Through me, enter the suffering people;]
[The dragon slayer will save the suffering people from the epidemic!]
[Your current camp: None.]
Looking at the yellow card in his hand, the blond young man's eyes became profound, and he slowly said:
"Make camp selection——"
[What camp did you choose?]
"White Card·Savior."
[Faction binding completed!]
[Your genealogy connection is currently blocked!]
Ssss——
Xia Xiu's left hand and right hand were corroded at the same time. He raised his hands. He could feel that the connection between the kingdom of heaven and the sarkic lineage had been blocked. This meant that he could only use the [entry] burned into his body. [Module]
Group] and [Yan Ling].
And if Xia Xiu wants to perform thaumaturgy other than the above three, then he can only recite cumbersome incantations like the thaumaturgy masters of the Glory Era before the Terra Era, coupled with the ability to shape complex thaumaturgy structures.
Release it.
For example, [Fireball Technique], Xia Xiu did not regard it as [Entification], so now without the help of genealogy calculations, he cannot achieve instant cast, and he can't even do [Overclocking] to shake people now.
In other words, Xia Xiu is now disconnected from the Internet by the [Crimson King].
After Xia Xiu confirmed that he was really disconnected from the Internet, he rubbed his chin and began to think.
Genealogy blocking should only be for yellow cards, and holders of white cards and red cards should not be disconnected from the Internet, otherwise the emperor of the Oletin Empire would not be traveling around in Constantinople, which requires a link to the genealogy think tank.
There are quite a lot of restrictions on yellow cards, but the perspective of the yellow card should be from God's perspective...
Xia Xiu then turned his attention to the holographic interface projected by the yellow card.
[You are a yellow card from the [Savior] camp, and your duty is to help your master win! 】
[The publishing restrictions for this performance are as follows:]
[1: Actors are prohibited from pulling non-actors into this play.]
[2: Extraordinary forces can only appear in this scene in the form of [background narrative], and [background narrative] can only interfere to a certain extent in a logical way.]
[3: Only white cards and red cards know the [promotion] conditions for this performance. 】
[As a [Savior] yellow card, you can obtain the following permissions:]
[1. Know the conditions for winning the performance (there is a [Killing Condition] in this play, and you can get [Absolute Special Attack] by collecting all the conditions.)]
【2. Know the master’s status.】
Xia Xiu turned his attention to Authority 1. As he stared, the [Killing Conditions] representing this round of interpretation appeared in front of him.
【Currently available information:】
[Your enemy, the holder of the red card this time is [Extraordinary Creature·Evil Dragon] (The [Killing Condition] of the red card this round is [Ability Release]!)]
