The final gentleman
Chapter 8 Requirements
Red brick fireplace room,
The burning firewood is like an old man who is about to run out of life, making his final groan in a hoarse, weak voice.
Yi Chen and the mysterious man sat across from each other on the brown hard leather sofa.
He was holding steaming ginger tea in his hand, which could effectively dispel the cold accumulated from living in the cemetery for many years.
"Your grace has earned you the opportunity to speak with me here.
As a foreign worker, you must have many questions in your mind...don't be restrained, just talk about anything you want. "
"How do i call you?"
"Just call me Wilbert. I am in charge of this Seven-Day Cemetery."
As Yi Chen speculated, this was the manager mentioned in the manual.
"I want to know why there is an extra corpse out of thin air in Cemetery No. 4?
If a body is brought into the cemetery from outside,
There must be a transportation and burial process, it should be easy to find, right? "
Yi Chen started with the small issues related to him, trying to open up a conversation between the two of them, and if possible, asked about the basic situation of the world.
"The 'corpse' you killed did not come from outside, but was generated by the cemetery itself."
"Generate on its own?"
“Cemetery No. 4 is the area with the most and most numerous corpses.
Such clutter can easily lead to 'disease',
The living corpses killed by you are the product of tree disease... Because they were formed in the cemetery, they will tend to "morphologically evolve" towards the corpses here. "
After getting the answer, Yi Chen had more questions, "After the trees were infected with the disease, they turned into corpses? Where did the matching coffins and tombstones come from?"
“[Concealment and camouflage] are what pathogens are best at, blending into the environment with almost perfect mimicry… By the time they are discovered, the disease has already spread.
However, their camouflage is not absolutely perfect.
When you become a gentleman in the organization, you will naturally learn how to identify them. "
Yi Chen's face was full of surprise, "Are you saying that the metal coffin and tombstone were all simulated by pathogens?"
"Yes, this is just the most basic disguise.
You haven't seen a pathogen disguised as a village, a cave, or even a mountain. "
Although Wilbert's words were brief, they allowed Yi Chen to imagine an end-of-the-world world that was completely infected with the disease.
but,
There was a slight smile on Yi Chen's lips, a smile full of expectation and desire to explore.
He sipped the ginger tea in his mouth and said softly:
"Is the world...sick?"
"Yes, being able to sit here, drink tea and communicate normally is already a luxury for most people.
The situation [outside] is far worse than you think,
However, topics about the outside world are not what we should talk about now. This belongs to your subsequent research work. "
Seeing that the topic was brought back, Yi Chen no longer pressed and continued to ask about things in the cemetery.
“I still have some questions about the cemetery;
The employee handbook records many standardized requirements, which should be used to determine whether someone is "infected" or not.
It seems like this,
The entire cemetery seems to be prone to abnormalities and disease... Knowing that there may be problems with these corpses, why not just cremate them instead of establishing this cemetery? "
"the reason is simple,
The 'benefits' generated here are greater than the 'risks' that need to be taken.
You can think of the entire cemetery as one big factory,
For example, this little guy on your shoulder is an almost perfect [product] that can effectively help us fight pathogens. "
"I see."
Yi Chen has already seen the "power" of the little meat ball.
Without visual enhancement, it would be impossible for him to confront the living zombies head-on.
The manager continued:
“Logically speaking, this little guy is the property of the organization.
But I am very happy today, and I am very happy to have such an interesting newcomer like you.
If you can fulfill a request, this little guy will be 'quietly' given to you. "
"any request?"
Ming Ren didn't say anything secretly, but Yi Chen wanted this little ball of meat very much.
"You will know after the cremation is over."
Next,
Yi Chen asked about the situation in each area of the cemetery.
He learned that at least two hundred external employees had worked here before him, and none of them had been able to leave the cemetery smoothly.
Also got an important message.
Tissue Mark G\u0026D,
The full name is Gentleman \u0026 Doctor (gentleman and doctor).
but,
The managers did not say much about other things about the organization, world intelligence, and the reasons for the illness.
According to him, these require Yi Chen to go to the outside world to explore on his own.
Oral reporting is a waste of time and pointless.
time flies.
The manager opened his cuffs and glanced at his watch.
"The cremation should be almost done, come with me."
Return to the hot and burning cremation area,
When the metal cover door of the incinerator was opened, the plant corpses killed by Yi Chen had been basically carbonized, but they still retained a relatively complete form.
Take it out of the oven, put it on a plate, and send it to the operating room.
The manager took a pair of large tweezers and pinched out a crystal-clear spherical crystal, about the size of a table tennis ball, from the waist and abdomen of the corpse.
The little meat ball, which had closed its eyes and meditated the whole time, woke up at this moment.
The eyes in his mouth were exposed and he stared at the bead.
Thick saliva also flowed out, soaking all the fluff around the mouth.
Ding~ The manager gently placed the beads on the metal plate aside.
Take out a monocle from the lining of the suit and observe carefully:
"Huh? To have such a good quality and shape... I kind of regret it.
This thing can be sold at a very high price if it is brought to the organization. It can even help me expand and upgrade the cemetery. "
After completing the inspection,
The manager placed the bead in the palm of his hand and displayed it in front of Yi Chen.
White jade color,
The transparency is about 80%,
Some moving green light spots can also be clearly seen inside.
“I have to say, you are really lucky.
The probability of producing ‘crystals’ for a person with a primary disease like this is less than 5%.
Not to mention that this crystal is of the highest quality in terms of shape and color, and the essence inside is perfectly preserved.
Next you have three options.
1. Collect and hide this crystal, and then go to the city where the organization is located.
When you become a resident or are granted the status of a gentleman, give the beads to local craftsmen to use them to create a nice piece of equipment.
2. Same as the previous method, you need to become a member of the organization and sell at a high price through internal channels.
Or sell it directly to me at 50% of the price, which can help you avoid a lot of risks. After all, once this bead is seen by others, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
3. Swallow the crystals on the spot with me and turn them into a part of your body.
This process involves the risk of death,
If you can succeed, you will obtain the "disease characteristic" retained in the crystal... This characteristic will allow you to live longer in this world, and also make you more likely to pass the assessment and become a member of the organization.
The third point is also the [requirement] we talked about before,
As long as you can swallow and survive, the little one on your shoulder will serve as a graveyard send-off. "
Yi Chen was not in a hurry to answer, but looked deep in thought.
“Manager, I just have one question.
If I guess correctly, this thing is a crystallized product of a pathogen... After I swallow it, I may contract the disease and turn into something similar to a living corpse. "
“Yes, the risk is here.
If you fail to combine properly and show any symptoms of infection, I will personally execute you. "
"I see."
Yi Chen carefully took the crystal and felt the residual burning heat remaining on the surface.
I have already made a decision in my heart,
Gulu~swallow it in one gulp.
