Chapter 129 Illsubstance

Chapter 129 Ill-substance

[Wendel Town] is only a three-hour drive from Zion.

After getting some information from the housekeeper, Yi Chen originally planned to wait for Edmund to come back. Since his arm has recovered, the only problem left is to pay back the money.

This kind of event mission recognized by the organization should not be a big problem.

However,

When Jin heard that the incident was suspected to be related to modern products such as firearms, he smelled the danger and interest in it and took the initiative to ask to go as a supporter of "Gethsemane".

Since he always said "next time", considering that the incident was not far away, he agreed.

The two rented a speed carriage and rushed to the destination quickly.

When they arrived in the town and saw the patients whose bodies had mutated into gun structures, Jin's excitement was pulled to the maximum.

With the help of clothing to cover the breath, he quietly approached the weapons factory in the night.

Then he extended through the plants and carried Little Grape to observe each room, and soon found the location of Edmund and the others.

…

[Employee Lounge-03]

The iron door is sealed, and no sound can be heard from outside.

Dagobert can walk normally, and is trying to move his arms to swing the sword.

At present,

Jin is leaning against the door leisurely, rubbing some meat particles from nowhere in her hand and feeding them to Xiao Pei on her shoulder.

Yi Chen is helping Edmund repair the injuries on his waist and abdomen. A lot of new meat has grown and stopped the pain.

"Edmund, what kind of patient is hidden in this factory that can hurt you like this? But it's strange that there is no pursuit or search for your movements."

"It has been confirmed that it is a very special and rare severe patient, or called [ill-substance]."

"What!?"

Yi Chen's eyes widened when he heard this word, and even Jin at the door stopped feeding.

Ill-substance, Yi Chen has learned about this word in books. The literal meaning is sick substance, which refers to unconscious substances infected by disease.

The unconscious matter here needs to be divided into two categories.

1. Unconscious organic matter such as plants, fungi, etc.

2. Inorganic matter such as stones, steel, water, etc.

According to a large number of surveys, the closer it is to humans, the greater the chance of being infected and affected by disease, and vice versa.

Therefore, especially for inorganic matter, the probability of being affected by disease is very small, and even if it is invaded by disease, it will not change much.

But in some extreme, special or accidental cases, inorganic matter has a small probability of being fully diseased.

When it passes the infection period, it will become a kind of existence equivalent to the patient, which is the [sick thing].

Unlike the patient, since inorganic matter itself has no consciousness, when they become [sick things], consciousness will be born for the first time, and they will begin to recognize and adapt to the world at hand.

Therefore, the nature of [sick things] themselves determines whether they are dangerous and harmful to the world.

For example, a stone-turned sick thing may always be in a neutral state. You walk by it or even sit on its head, and it has no reaction.

Unless you take out a miner's pick to chisel its flesh, it will cause emotional fluctuations and attack you out of danger instinct.

However,

modern industrial products like guns, which are defined as war and killing, once turned into diseased objects, the consciousness born is also related to war and killing.

They will kill other creatures indiscriminately, whether they are sick or not, and get satisfaction from killing, gain understanding of the world, and improve themselves.

In addition, it is necessary to emphasize that

there is an essential difference between [abnormal patients] and [diseases].

The former needs to be in a severely grayed environment or gray area with human activities and corpses, and even requires the subjective creation of open source patients to be fully formed.

Although their flesh contains inorganic matter, they have human body shape, have a larger proportion of human body, and have a sound human consciousness and thinking mode.

For example, the doctors and nurses in the Twilight Clinic are more designed by [Yuehen], and formed together with the bathing of moonlight and the effect of graying.

Therefore, they are classified as patients.

The pathogens are more difficult to form and have a higher material content. They can be said to be "purely natural" pathogenic products, which are extremely rare and difficult to deal with.

And their value is far above the patients. They are even called "dangerous treasures" among gentlemen.

...

"There are actually pathogens with [guns] as their essence here, and the degree of disease has reached a serious level~ Fortunately, I listened to Jin's persuasion and came to support you, otherwise it would be really dangerous.

What is the opponent's form, attack mode and infection method? Have you investigated it?"

Edmund lit a cigarette and said helplessly:

"So far, we and the other team have not been able to confirm the "true form" of the pathogen. We only know that it is hidden in the factory. It can quickly transfer to any ordinary firearm and shoot "bullets" at us.

Including the pistol I carry with me, I have been forced to throw it away."

The classic pistol that should have been installed on Edmund's waist has long disappeared.

"The main body can be transferred to any firearm at will... This is too restraining for you. No wonder you two teams are forced into danger.

By the way, is there anything I need to be careful about the bullets it fires? ”

“It is extremely accurate, and it will change its trajectory during flight.

The bullet that Dagobert could have blocked with his giant sword can change its trajectory just before it hits the giant sword, bypassing the giant sword in an arc and hitting the flesh.

As long as it is within its range, it is almost impossible to dodge.

Once it hits, the bullet will definitely embed into the flesh, quickly absorbing the iron element in the blood, causing the individual to die of hypoxia.

When the individual dies, the bullet will turn into a "pathogen" to enslave the corpse and become an infected person. The corpse will actively eat metal to increase the iron content in the body and form a gun barrel structure.

As you saw on the way here, they are all zombies of residents who were transformed by bullets.

This thing inherits the murderous nature of firearms and can be strengthened by killing human bodies again and again... If it leaves here, I am afraid that a town or even a city will be massacred soon.

It can also achieve [open source] with the nature of firearms. "

"Well... automatic aiming, body transfer and bullet infection~ And being in such a gun factory, occupying a complete geographical advantage, it's really troublesome.

Jin, do you have any ideas? "

"I'm not very good at dealing with 'non-blood and flesh' things, but this kind of diseased thing with its own gunpowder, maybe my red lotus can also work.

Wait for me, I'll go out and try how accurate the so-called [automatic aiming] is. "

Jin directly tore off the sealing talisman paper on the iron door and walked out of the room with a swagger.

"Hey! It's very dangerous..."

Edmund wanted to stop him, but was interrupted by Yi Chen.

"It's okay, let her go."

About ten seconds later, three consecutive gunshots sounded outside, accompanied by a burst of chicken cries.

Jin quickly returned to the room,

Xiao Pei standing on her shoulder was in a state of frightened hair.

"Huh! It's really dangerous, one of the bullets almost brushed my trouser leg and almost got hit... I tried to catch the bullet but failed.

Just like what this guy said, guns in different positions will shoot at me.

But they don't shoot at the same time, but there is a certain time interval~ otherwise I really can't dodge.

William, I can't solve this incident alone, let's do it together? If there is someone to help attract the firepower, I will be much more relaxed. "

"Okay, I see."

After a conversation,

Edmund and Dagbert showed an incredible look, looking at the gentleman wearing a colorful mask. They probably remembered that he was a candidate in the same batch as them, but they didn't see him later.

"William, who is this..."

"Kim Almeida, my teammate on the last mission, from Gethsemane~ In addition, I have thought of a way to break the deadlock. "
