The light rain started falling again at some point, and it fell on the surrounding weeds like a sneer.
Lu Xin walked out of the tent and looked up at the gloomy sky.
At this time, my sister was surrounding the surviving warriors, waiting curiously, seeming to be observing them, and occasionally reaching out her little hand, as if she wanted to touch them. However, after being glared at by Lu Xin, she did not dare to reach out and just turned around.
The father just stayed in the shadow silently, observing the surroundings quietly.
Mom is wearing an exquisite little suit, which is the only bright color in this gloomy wilderness and pale light.
"Is there any way to destroy this pollution site?"
Lu Xin felt some hope in his heart and looked at Mom gently.
But listening to Lu Xin's words, the corners of Mom's mouth raised slightly.
"This pollution force field is not formed with logic that I can understand, so I can't help you."
Mom explained softly, then shook his head slightly.
Lu Xin took a long breath and said again, "So, can Pollution Source be found?"
Mom smiled, "The logic here is messed up, so in my opinion, it can be said that Pollution Source is everywhere."
Lu Xin was slightly startled and shook his head helplessly.
Pollution Source is everywhere, which means Pollution Source cannot be found.
Feeling a little dull in his heart, he had decided to stay and figure this out. However, facing such a complicated and bizarre scene, he had to admit that this was the first time he had faced pollution, and he felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
It is my responsibility to investigate the cause of this incident and clean up this pollution.
Cleaning up pollution is very simple, cut off the logical chain, or clean up Pollution Source.
However, this pollution force field is so large, how to cut it off?
Because this pollution force field is so large, how can we find its source?
However, the most painful thing is being in the midst of a strange event but not being able to grasp its context.
I am not a person who is particularly good at investigating. In previous investigations, Han Bing has helped me a lot every time.
But now, there are no relevant cases to refer to even in Qinggang's database.
Who can I turn to?
With his thoughts in chaos, Lu Xin suddenly remembered something.
He took out the communicator given to him by the researcher.
There are observation stations all around, with ready-made signal receivers. The communicator quickly deciphered the secret automatically and connected to the network.
Looking at the high-tech screen lighting up, Lu Xin entered the club platform.
Then he typed in the dialog box. "Is anyone here?"
Just like last time, there was complete silence and no one answered.
Lu Xin frowned and continued typing, "I have something to ask everyone. There is an area where serious pollution has occurred. All the people in this area have died, and have been affected and become living people. They don't know that they are dead, and they don't know why they died. If you tell them that they are dead, they will become a kind of Mental Monster..."
"Has anyone ever encountered a similar incident or know how to deal with it?"
"..."
After typing so much text in one breath, he paused and added, "You can answer my question..."
He was cruel and typed in the number directly. "Reward, one hundred thousand!"
After he finished typing, he waited quietly.
After more than ten seconds passed, someone suddenly said, "Damn, are you telling a ghost story?"
Red Shoes: "In the middle of the night, you scared people to tears, wuwuwu..."
Blood Droplet: "Where is such an exciting scene?"
"..."
Lu Xin slowly typed. "Right next to me."
Red Shoes: "?"
Clockwork Orange: "A joke?"
I am the most handsome in the world, and there are only three words: "Exciting!"
Lu Xin sighed slowly, his expectations for this club were declining.
But at this moment, he saw a private message sent by someone named Mechanic.
Mechanic: "What is the specific situation?"
Lu Xin felt a little hope in his heart and quickly replied, "The general situation is what I just said. I can already roughly guess the way of pollution, which is a kind of field pollution. However, I don't know how to break this field. In addition, all colleagues who enter the field will be affected by an unknown effect and kill each other. The specific reason has not been found yet."
"..."
Mechanic: "Are you sure you're still alive?"
Lu Xin was silent for a moment, felt his pulse, and then felt his heart.
The most important thing is to take a look at my family not far away.
Then replied, "OK."
Mechanic: "Then I'll be relieved."
Mechanic: "In addition to the contaminated body coming back from death, are there any other signs?"
Lu Xin: "In addition to being dead, they are just like living people. They still remember their jobs, their children, parents, and fiancées at home. If the fact that they are dead is not revealed, they seem to be more normal than living people."
Lu Xin: "Have you seen similar cases?"
Mechanic: "No."
Lu Xin: "..."
Mechanic: "I have never heard of the exact same case, but if I break it down, there are many references."
Lu Xin: "?"
Mechanic: "I suggest you look for logic in the chaos."
"Like, you break this thing down into several different events."
"First, a kind of pollution affected them, causing them to kill each other and turn into dead people."
"Second, a contamination wakes them up and continues working as living humans."
"Third, for some reason they don't want to be reminded of the fact that they're dead."
"Fourth, if someone exposes them, they will become Mental Monster."
"Of these four questions, which one do you think is the key?"
"..."
Looking at the text sent by the mechanic, Lu Xin was slightly startled, and then thought about it.
The originally very complicated situation did become clearer after being broken down in this way.
He thought along this line of thought for a while and sent a message: "So, what are the cases of the resurrection of the dead?"
Mechanic: "There are many abilities that can bring the dead back to life."
"Puppet-type's ability users like to create mentally transformed people. These mentally transformed people look the same as living people, but are actually a kind of dead people. In addition, there was an incident of corpses rushing into the city in the south. Hongling City also had an incident of piecing together people. A widely spread soul-transfer incident also happened in the gathering point over the Baizhi River a year ago. They all have similar abilities."
"But at the root of all these events, either a large number of Mental Monster are parasitic on the corpse, or they are affected by some kind of powerful Dominator Group special ability. If you are not in a hurry now, I can tell you these slowly."
"Then you compare and see which thing is similar to what you encountered..."
"..."
Looking at the message sent by the mechanic, a memory suddenly flashed through Lu Xin's mind.
He had encountered this kind of thing before, because it was too abnormal and the pollution was invisible and intangible, which made him suspect that there was some unknown pollution spreading around him. But after listening to the mechanic's words, he suddenly realized that maybe the problem was not with those unknown enemies.
This kind of pollution that makes the dead come back to life and work normally seems to be the first time I have seen it.
But I have seen one who can wake up the dead.
He took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Happy Town.
He still remembered that when he first entered Happy Town and woke up Queen, he had seen a row of rotting corpses buried underground. They had been dead for many years, but under the influence of Queen, they emerged from the ground, armed with guns, and confronted him and his family.
This incident is a good proof that Queen has the ability to wake up the dead.
But the strange thing is that the corpses awakened by Queen are very different from what he sees now.
In addition, their location is still some distance away from Happy Town.
The real Happy Town is the small town with white, crowded small houses.
It's just that Queen's spiritual radiation is so powerful that it covers a range of almost fifty kilometers.
And their observation point is already ten miles away from the outermost edge of Queen's spiritual radiation.
The places where most of Researcher Wang Song and Information Gathering Unit had their accidents were already thirty or forty miles away.
Even if Lu Xin doesn't know Queen well enough, it is certain that Queen cannot possibly wake up a dead person so far away.
Besides, the dead person awakened by Queen will obey her will, not like now.
He typed quickly. "No need to listen to the story, I'm in a hurry."
"But I know one similar to Pollution Source."
"It's just that the distances between them are too far, and the characteristics of the pollution are completely different."
"..."
Mechanic: "Core traits are the most important thing."
"You need to understand that awakening the dead is actually the work of spiritual power. Just like Puppet-type's ability user can create and control spiritual transformation of people, spiritual power can be parasitic on objects, and of course it can also be parasitic on corpses."
"After parasitizing on a corpse, he can control the corpse's actions and extract memories from the undamaged brain."
"But in theory, this is a strong drain on the mental body, and it often can't last long."
"In the situation you encountered, you have been dead for more than a week and still work normally, which consumes a lot of energy..."
"..."
Lu Xin was slightly startled after hearing this, and thought of a doubt.
According to the mechanics, after the living dead are resurrected, their spiritual power will only become weaker and weaker if they consume their own spiritual power.
But the mental bodies of the colleagues he met who had undergone mutations were stronger than Chang's.
Each of them even has a spiritual level of two hundred to three hundred.
He hurriedly sent this phenomenon over and asked, "Why is this?"
Mechanic: "It's weird. It's so unreasonable."
"Dead people remain alive for a long time, but their mental levels are getting higher and higher. This illustrates at least two problems."
"First, the Pollution Source or ability user who exerts this influence is very powerful."
"Second, the pollution field you encountered may not only pollute, but also transmit spiritual power."
"..."
Lu Xin: "Transmission?"
Mechanic: "Yes, the transmission of spiritual power goes against biological instinct. Whether it is Mental Monster or Pollution Source, they actually have the characteristics of biological beings. They will contaminate other people, rob their spiritual levels, and make them a part of themselves."
"But it is very unreasonable to transfer one's spiritual power to others."
Lu Xin: "So, why do fields that go against biological instincts appear?"
Mechanic: "There are many reasons. Mental Monster's will or some special parasitic products can do it."
"After all, I'm not nearby. Maybe you need to investigate the reason..."
"..."
Lu Xin fell silent for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, he suddenly stood up and walked into the rain.
He suddenly remembered something. When the vanguard of Information Gathering Unit arrived nearby, although they did not dare to act without permission because they did not understand what type of pollution they encountered, they still did a preliminary inspection and discovered something.
Arriving next to the group of silent soldiers squatting on the ground, Lu Xin first glared at his sister, and then asked in a low voice.
Fortunately, these soldiers still had this memory and hurriedly fetched it for him.
Lu Xin brought the tent back, took a photo with the communicator, and sent it to the mechanic.
He took a deep breath and typed. "Have you seen this thing?"
With that said, he took a photo and sent it over.
The mechanic's reply was quick, "This should be a kind of signal stabilizer, used to maintain some kind of force field. If my guess is correct, there should be many such things around you. Their function should be arranged around the field to maintain its stability. Haha, it seems that what you are encountering now is not an ordinary field..."
Lu Xin: "How to crack such a thing?"
"..."
Mechanic: "It's too simple, just destroy these stabilizers and that's it."
Lu Xin: "Then how to find these things?"
Mechanic: "Then I don't know. After all, I'm just providing an idea. Smile, smile."
Mechanic: "Can you transfer money to me?"
Lu Xin was silent for a while and said, "Should I solve the problem before giving money?"
Mechanic: "No."
Mechanic: "Whether you can solve it or not, I've given you advice and it's worth the money."
Mechanic: "The main reason is that even though it is such a small original, if it can affect a contaminated field, it must not be created by ordinary forces. I don't want to offend any of the forces that can create such a field. Frankly speaking, brother, I don't think you should be offended either. This is no longer something that a single person, or even a single High Wall City, can deal with."
"So..."
Mechanic: "I suspect you haven't had a chance to resolve it before passing it on to me."
"Smiley face. Reaching out emoji."
"..."
Lu Xin looked at his answer, and after a slight struggle in his heart, he transferred the money.
Then he slowly put down the communicator and raised his head.
Now, many doubts in his mind have been solved, but at the same time, it has brought greater doubts. Especially, the last words of the mechanic made him feel heavy in his heart. Now that he realizes the key to the problem, what should he do?
Determining what the role and purpose of these instruments is is a question.
Finding and removing these instruments is another problem...
Lu Xin sighed deeply. The feeling of powerlessness in his heart had not actually eased much.
This pollution force field is too big, and the radiation area is unknown.
The few components I found were only a very small part of them, and could not destroy this force field.
But in this vast wilderness, how can I find other parts?
Without finding these instruments, the field cannot be destroyed and anyone who enters will be in danger.
Not only ordinary people, but also people with abilities who come in, Lu Xin don't know if they have any way to fight against this pollution. Even if they can fight against it, the discovery of this instrument means that there are other unknown enemies in this wilderness. If just one or two ability users come in, their fate will not be much better than that of ordinary people entering this wilderness.
However, if there are no reinforcements, how can one solve such a huge problem by himself?
Looking up at the seemingly infinitely deep night sky, Lu Xin felt a little hollow in his heart.
It was as if there was an indescribable feeling of loneliness hanging over me.
Even though he was familiar with this feeling of loneliness, it still felt oppressive at this time.
"Mr. Shan... Shanbing, do you need... need help?"
Just as Lu Xin was standing in the drizzle, sighing tiredly, a voice suddenly rang out.
Lu Xin turned around and saw the captain with half of his head missing.
Behind him were four team members, all of whom were dead but had not yet mutated.
"Help?"
Lu Xin looked at them and was slightly startled.
"Yes."
The captain slowly puffed up his chest.
I can't use accurate words to describe his expression at this time. I can only see that he looks very determined:
"Mr. Single Soldier, we, we don't know what happened to us, let alone what will happen to us next, but... but just waiting there is too painful, so we hope... that we can do something for you."
"..."
Lu Xin Looking at their expressions, a smile gradually appeared on their faces.
"Okay."
He suddenly extended his palm to the captain and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
Looking at Lu Xin's hand, the captain was obviously a little embarrassed. He looked at his palm, which was full of blood.
But amid Lu Xin's smile, he slowly stretched it out.
"You're welcome, this is our job."
"..."
"Yes."
Lu Xin's smile is sincere and happy.
The lingering feeling of depression and loneliness just now suddenly disappeared in the empty eyes of these soldiers.
Who said that I was alone in this wilderness?
I also have a whole team!
