Bone Sculptor

Exploring the Star 3 city base, at this time is falling into a huge crisis and panic. Since Nadine entered the base, everyone who came into contact with him, without exception, has become an infected person. In the 3T-01 Research Center, in just a few hours, nearly 60 researchers went into a coma one after another. Fortunately, Nadine's main activity area is the scientific research center. When he returned to the base, he and other members were still wearing full-armor uniforms, which minimized the scope of infection.

Milos immediately isolated the 3T-01 Research Center and ordered everyone to quickly put on full-armor uniforms and enter a state of emergency martial law. Most people don't know what's going on, and uneasy emotions spread among each other.

"What the **** is going on?" District Chief Valenol asked, staring at Milos seriously.

"During our investigation, we found a special plant that can transmit the virus through its aroma, and all infected people will fall into a coma. At that time, we did not realize its danger in time, so that the entire team was infected." Lowe explained calmly.

Valenor's face changed, and he subconsciously held his breath, staring at Milos in surprise.

"Don't worry, Mayor Valenol, if I were an infected person, as the person who had the most contact with me, you would have fainted long ago."

Nima is scared to death, okay? Dare to say it all at once? Valenol asked with a grim look: "Didn't you just say that your entire team was infected?"

"We have found a cure. Just eat the fruit of that plant and you can return to normal."

"Oh?" Valenol's eyes lit up. "So, the situation is not as serious as expected?"

Milos was silent.

"Wait." Valenol realized that something was wrong and asked, "If you are all okay, why are the people on the base still infected?"

"I'm investigating this matter." Milos looked at Valenol without a trace of emotion on his face.

"Then you better hurry up." Valenol said quietly: "The situation is still under control, but I'm afraid it will be hard to tell in a few days."

Milos left the headquarters and went straight to Ailan's laboratory. In fact, he already had a bit of speculation in his mind, but he still needs professional confirmation.

"Dr. Ailan, is there any result?" Milos strode towards Ailan.

Ailan first saluted a military salute and replied: "According to my test, this should be a complex composed of fruiting bodies and sclerotia. Before the parasitic carrier is found, they are just a harmless plant. After the fruit is ripe They become seeds and take root in the soil. However, if they find a carrier and successfully parasitize, they can be transformed into an active fungus, and then continue to spread."

"in short?"

"In short, if you don't let it touch, it is harmless. Once you touch it, you will be infected by it. The first living body infected will become the fungal parent, and then continue to generate new sources of infection."

Milos looked solemn and thoughtful.

Ailan glanced at him and hesitated: "Major General Milos, one of the people who participated in the inspection last time must be a mother..."

"I know." Milos nodded, and instead of continuing the topic, he asked instead: "Can an antidote be developed?"

Ailan rubbed her forehead and smiled bitterly: "Unless you give me an experimental field, you may not be able to develop it even in a few years."

It seems that the most straightforward way is to collect as many of these plants as possible.

Milos referred to Ailan's suggestion and named the plant "Dormant Fungus" and sent its related information to senior researchers above the lieutenant officer. At the same time, he issued confidential instructions to prevent panic from spreading.

Then, he gathered all the team members who had participated in the expedition with him before, ready to go deep into the jungle again. There are various signs that they have produced fungal antibodies in their bodies, and they don’t need to worry about being infected anymore. It is perfect for them to complete this task. Milos had another purpose, and that was to find An Yi. This time he must find a way to establish a cooperative relationship with her. This place is full of dangers. Without her help, human beings will pay a huge price and sacrifice in future exploration.

After Milos reported to Valenol, he led the team and left the base. Valenol only gave him seven days. There are more than 300 people in the 3T-01 Research Center, including the guards. Even if the isolation measures are done well, it is difficult to guarantee that the situation will not deteriorate. What's more, people must be sent to take care of those who are in a coma, maintain their vitality, and wait for rescue.

At this time, everyone does not know that this fungus can not only infect but also evolve. After they complete three parasites, their survival time will be extended, from the original thirty seconds to thirty minutes. This means that as long as there is a gap, they have enough time to fly out of the isolation zone and quickly spread to the outside world.

The seven-day deadline set by Valenol is obviously too optimistic...

With a sound, two skulls emerged from the water, and then floated slowly to the shore.

An Yi and F climbed ashore together, shook the water on their bodies neatly, and then sat on each side quietly basking in the sun.

One day ago, she discovered a mountain crypt at the bottom of the lake. The location was hidden and there was a lot of space. So she decided to use this crypt as one of her base areas to place bone sculptures and other important objects.

In the jungle, there is basically no need to worry about her safety. It is enough to bring a few bone sculptures with you just in case. Unless she can't think of jumping off the cliff of ten thousand feet to self-harm, or dividing herself into countless fragments, scattered all over the world.

During this time, she had a very fulfilling life, collecting bones, refining and carving, learning Totas, and actively establishing relations with various creatures.

It didn't go smoothly at the beginning, these guys had no interest in the Skeleton Race, and they didn't bother to deal with her. Every time An Yi shows her kindness to them, she suffers a ruthless indifference. An Yi thinks that they are the real high-coldness, and the demons of the beating sentient beings, as many as you owe you.

An also was not discouraged. As the original creatures that explore the stars, they are numerous and widely distributed. From them, they can obtain various kinds of rich information and understand the world more truly. Therefore, it is very necessary to establish friendly relations with them.

Since the line of warmth doesn't work, she can only use force.

Beginning with animals that are less dangerous, An Ye launched a war of sovereignty in which the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and ruled over a territory...the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled in two days.

Looking at the rows of little guys on the ground who were looking at her in awe, some had lost their fur, some had hurt their legs, and some had broken faces. They looked very pitiful. An Yi suddenly felt that she was really cruel, how could she succeed in the first place?

However, her sympathy only lasted more than ten seconds. After successfully establishing a communication with them, let it go with the wind.

Bullying the weak is so simple and rude...

An Yi does not intend to provoke those powerful beasts for the time being, and must first be familiar with the use of various bone sculptures.

"Quick, is it in this direction?" A woman's voice suddenly came from behind the bushes.

An Yi was sitting under a tree carving a bone. Hearing the sound, he stood up and quickly hid in a secret place.

Not long after, the three figures walked to the place where An Yi was just now. Two men and one woman, dressed in costumes, are not regular soldiers, but more like free explorers.

In the city base, some people are free mercenaries from Tortas Star. They apply to come to Discovery Star through various channels and accept exploration missions in exchange for contribution points.

Tortas' consular alliance has a reward mechanism, and you can get corresponding contribution points when you complete exploration tasks. In the future, you can use contribution points to redeem various rewards when you explore Star City. Such as land, title, economic privilege, naming rights, etc.

It can be said that the first to enter the exploration of the stars, the greater the benefits will be, of course, must ensure that they can survive.

There are a lot of free mercenaries who apply to enter the exploration star every year, but not many really pass the review. At present, the total number of free mercenaries on the exploration star is only 20,000.

Anyi had seen a few at Base 3 before, but had never dealt with it. The regular army generally looks down on the free mercenaries, and the free mercenaries don't have a good face to the regular army. In short, it's just two people who look at each other and weary each other.

These few people can be regarded as daring, only three people dare to go deep into the danger zone.

"At least we didn't spin around in place." Quaker shrugged to Felis.

Gerry looked at his personal terminal, and said in a deep voice, "There is still no signal. We must find a place where we can search for the signal as soon as possible, otherwise there is no way to determine the location."

Fei Lisi said impatiently: "The problem is that we have been walking for several hours."

"Hold on a little longer." Gerry looked around and said, "Before dark, even if you don't find a signal, you have to find a safe camp."

Fei Lisi angrily kicked a stone away from her feet, and the stone flew towards An Yi's location. An Yi quickly grasped it.

"There is a situation!" Gerry was immediately vigilant, watching An Yi's hiding place guardedly all over.

Why is there a situation? She is obviously very quiet and honest.

"What's the matter?" Felice asked in a low voice.

"There was no sound after the stone flew out."

It turned out to be too quiet. An Yi looked at the stone on her paw, and thought depressed: Should she just let this stone hit herself?

Quirk and Felice also raised their weapons and approached Ann with Gerry cautiously.

Seeing this, An Yi grabbed the small animal grazing on the side, let it bite the stone, and stayed here as her scapegoat. She took a few steps back and used the pretending to be dead again to turn into a pile of dead bones, hidden among the leaves.

As soon as all this was done, the three of them pulled away the leaves and saw the little poor man who was forced to bite the stone, a pair of big water-like eyes, looking innocently at the incoming person.

"Haha, it turned out to be a little sand cat." Felis loosened her whole body and smiled, "Really, a false alarm."

Quik glared at the little sand cat with dissatisfaction, and tweeted: "It's a veritable silly cat, who can't even run away. Do you stand here stupidly waiting for us to catch it?"

Fei Lisi grabbed its long ears, lifted it up, and shook it: "I have taken it tonight. Sand cat meat is delicious."

Don’t you really want to eat it? Beware of indigestion! Although the sand cat is very silly and naive, its parents are very fierce!
