Plague Doctor

In Cairo, Egypt, the desert capital, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky.

This is a city built on the desert, with the Nile River running through the middle. The ruins of Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt with a history of more than 4,700 years, are located 32 kilometers south of Cairo. The world-famous Pyramid of Khufu and the Sphinx The statue is in Giza, west of Cairo.

The moment the members of the Stonebreaker team stepped off the special plane, it seemed as if they had truly left the country, lost the unknown protection, and were in danger.

Although they all wear airtight protective clothing, this is only to prepare for blood rain and other situations that may occur at any time, and has no protective effect against petrochemical disease.

Pyramids, high-rise buildings, deserts, the sky... can all be sources of petrochemical infection.

"If you have any strange feelings, you must tell us immediately." Uncle Dan, as the team doctor, reminded again, "Don't hold on, we don't need that kind of sacrifice. If you get sick, go back as soon as possible, and you may be able to cure it. The condition is under control.”

If someone gets sick here, will it spread if they go back? This is uncertain, petrochemical disease has too many unknown risks.

Therefore, people who are sick will not be sent back to places like Dahua City and Qing'an City, but to the Tianji Base in Mobei. Even if they did this, there were internal disputes, and in the end it was Tong Ye's group who won over. However, FBM and other plans to send patients from China were rejected.

This time the Stone Breaker team is composed of hundreds of people working together from various departments.

They are mainly divided into three categories of personnel. One is from the Curse Department, including Lou Xiaoning, Wang Ruoxiang, Xiaoxu, Uncle Dan, Chang Qianhang and others; the other is from the Special Operations Department, including Li Zhenjing, Zhang Jingjing and others. The number of personnel sent by the Special Operations Department this time was smaller than last time, accounting for only about a quarter; there is also a category of reinforcements sent by the Mysterious Bureau. In addition to Feng Peiqian and others, Deng Ximei, Peacock, and Mo Qing also belong to this category now. category.

Two newcomers, Chen Jiahua and Lin Shengbo, who performed well in Qing'an City last time, are also here.

There are also many newcomers who were informed of the dangers of this trip before joining the team. Stepping out of the country is a dangerous situation, but they still chose to come.

This is actually a death squad, and it is this determination and courage that unites everyone.

It was not only the Stonebreaker team that arrived in Cairo, but also teams sent by FBM, the Ross Security Service, and Egyptian personnel.

Now Egypt is also plagued by disasters. The number of confirmed patients with petrochemical disease has exceeded 10,000, but the real number of patients may be ten or a hundred times higher.

The Egyptian Security Bureau seems a bit ignorant about the inquiries from the Secret Bureau and FBM.

Although the supernatural power of this incident is closely related to ancient Egypt, the religious beliefs in Egypt are no longer ancient Egyptian mythology. Now no people in this land believe in any sun god anymore, and even the hieroglyphics are all high-tech. According to the research of Champollion, the ancient Egypt was already a lost civilization, and the Egyptians did not have any more information about it. Secondly, the Egyptian Security Bureau has limited strength, so it is mainly responsible for logistical cooperation.

"Hello, guests from the East."

Aziz, the captain of the Egyptian team, is a middle-aged man with a big beard. He is very polite, eager and expectant when receiving the Stonebreaker team.

Although everyone has different nationalities and cultures, they have one thing in common: they don’t want to see their homes trampled by disaster.

"Whatever you want, we will provide all possible help." Aziz said, "Other guests have arrived at our base."

Lou Xiaoning continues to serve as the captain, and Li Zhenjing is the deputy captain. They lead the frontline affairs, and the logistics are arranged by the headquarters command center.

"Let's go to the base first." Lou Xiaoning replied to Aziz, "Hold a meeting, let's talk about it and come up with a cooperation plan."

Although goa and mo have been cooperating with each other since their establishment, the last time they conducted such a large-scale investigation and expedition in the same place was on Dagon Island during the Alien Scale. That time, due to the early chaos and ulterior motives, a lot of unnecessary sacrifices were made, morale was severely damaged, and the enemy's strength was strengthened.

This kind of thing can't happen again. They must have a unified dispatch on the front line.

This place is probably more dangerous than Dagon Island. What we are facing is not the defeated Laisheng Society, but the still strange Little Ram Cult. The power of the Black Goat behind it, the "Little Ram God", is also facing More active than Dagon.

Moreover, Gu Jun is no longer here.

The Security Bureau base is located to the west of Cairo, in the same direction as the Pyramid of Khufu.

I don’t know if it’s because of this that the more the convoy driving on the desert road goes west, the greater the pressure it faces.

The armored vehicle carrying everyone from the Magic Department and a few people from the Mystery Bureau was a little quiet because of this.

"Petrified disease..." Peacock sighed a little depressed.

I have heard about this disease since I was a child, and I thought that the patient really turned into a stone, but who can say that the current situation is not the case. I thought that history had been changed before, but now history seems to be back: the hero of Tianji is dead, the goddess of hope has disappeared, the secret of Tianji is chaotic, the petrified disease...

Mo Qing, Feng Peiqian, Deng Ximei and others next to them were also silent, looking at the desert outside the car window.

From Mobei to Dahua, and here to Cairo, it was a non-stop journey and quite tiring.

But at this time, Deng Ximei suddenly said softly: "Which is faster, quicksand or flood?"

She seemed to be talking to herself or asking others. Everyone around looked around, and Lou Xiaoning was a little surprised. Deng Ximei was the person with the highest spiritual knowledge and the best talent among them. Not everyone has the ability to trigger illusions.

Power, but Deng Ximei is one.

When she was still at the Dahua headquarters, Deng Ximei had read all the current clues and had video connections with some petrified patients from foreign countries. She had a vague feeling at the time, but it was just that there was something missing. Now it seems …

Quicksand and floods are both dangerous, and presumably the floods are faster.

If it falls into floods, it will be washed away immediately; if it falls into quicksand, it will sink slowly.

"In the second stage of petrochemical patients, there is a strange sensation of water flow in the body, like a flood." Deng Ximei added, frowning: "Just now I looked outside at the desert, and I seemed to see a little illusion. There was an ancient city in the desert. There are many petrified patients, but the strange feeling in their bodies is quicksand, not floods. Their disease seems to develop very slowly, not as fast as it is now..."

Everyone was confused when they heard this and couldn't figure out what this situation meant.

"I think it is possible that this petrified disease..." Deng Ximei said thoughtfully, "The enemy changed it for some reason and turned the quicksand into a flood."

Love the Plague Doctor.
