Toothache

Zion's newly developed luxury carriage suddenly stopped before reaching its destination and refused to move.

William and Deslin also discovered at the same time that the horse pulling the carriage—the modified Death Row Inmate—had already died.

They both got out to inspect it.

The level of the Gray Fog permeating this place had already reached the fourth level of prohibition according to Zion. An ordinary gentleman would certainly die under such Gray Fog.

The former cement road had been completely diseased,

making the entire road look like a ribbonfish stretching endlessly through the Gray Fog.

The horse's death, however, had nothing directly to do with the road. It had drowned. Water constantly seeped from its eye sockets, nostrils, and mouth.

After performing a craniotomy on the horse, William discovered that its cranial cavity was also filled with seawater.

The moisture in the air was mixed with deep-sea Arc Bacteria, which was lethal to life below the Open Source level. Even an Open Source Diseased would feel extremely uncomfortable.
