Disaster X Special Forces

Why didn't the first instance of the Undying disease spread throughout human society?

According to information reports at the time.

If we try to deduce it from the opposite perspective...

This makes it clear that by the time Beyond's team reached the Dark Continent, only a few members remained.

The mechanism of this disease will leave some individuals behind in order for the group to recover and develop.

This time, Beyond's men died.

More than a thousand people died.

In other words, their past cluster size was too large, and with half of them dead, the disease should have already begun to affect the surviving lives.

During this process, there is a dormant period, because the goal is to ensure the complete annihilation of the entire population, leaving only a few individuals.

They returned at this crucial moment, because this was simply a replication of the previous operation, so they were very familiar with the process.

This brought the symptoms from the closed outer circle into the inner circle.

With billions of people in the inner circle, this disease suddenly became rampant.

Kevin didn't know if his guess was right.

He immediately woke up and gathered everyone to discuss the matter.

In situations like this, we need to use everyone's wisdom to discuss it together.

After Kevin shared his conjectures and all the information with everyone, they all frowned.

"First and foremost, it's clear that the body of an undead being shouldn't possess the ability to transmit infectious viruses; otherwise, the first Gatekeeper wouldn't have brought the remains to humanity."

Qiduo said directly.

In other words, the infectivity should only exist during the period when the personality is replaced.

"Based on so many transmission chains and information, it's clear that this disease is essentially something that actually exists, rather than some vague and ethereal law or something like that."

"It won't be like the laws of physics, because if that were the case, even a closed circle wouldn't be able to escape it."

Biscuit tapped her chin as she spoke her thoughts.

Qiduo nodded in agreement. "We can't detect it simply because our current detection technology is too rudimentary. After all, so many races on the Dark Continent are helpless against this disease."

At this moment, Morel said, "Is it possible that this virus originated from a sentient being?"

"This disease is like a carefully orchestrated scheme, leaving a spark for every intelligent species, not wiping them out completely, and only targeting those species that are too numerous."

Biscuit looked at Kevin and said, "That makes sense, doesn't it? You see, even the Overlord species have an instinct to protect the environment."

Hearing this, Pairo immediately retorted.

"That's not right. We only know one Overlord and its lifestyle. Such a conclusion is too arbitrary."

"Furthermore, the Sky Overlord protects the environment simply because it's his territory. He needs a normal environment and a bountiful territory to provide him with food. Perhaps this is just a characteristic of his."

This statement prompted everyone to nod in agreement.

Biscuit nodded in agreement.

Regarding the Dark Continent, they truly lacked a comprehensive understanding of its higher-level design.

The Sky Overlord was the only one they knew.

Therefore, the Sky Overlord should not be considered absolute.

"Regardless, at least it has given us an understanding of what a biological catastrophe is, and solved a thorny problem."

Kevin tapped the table and then shared his thoughts.

"Now is the time to act. No matter the reason, we need to quickly eliminate those infected internal personnel."

"These infected individuals appear to have had their minds replaced, ultimately leading to the destruction of their own race, and humanity is quite adept at using its own weapons to destroy itself."

Melusina looked at Kevin, frowned, and said, "But they can't find out who's infected inside, and even we can't tell."

"Only you can identify who is infected right now."

Kevin suddenly became an indispensable and unique person, which dramatically increased his importance.

"Then your uncle is in danger."

Gon suddenly said something.

Then he received strange looks from everyone, and only after seeing their gazes did Gon realize what was happening.

"It seems like they're in danger."

"The officials are more anxious about this than we are. All we need to do is leak Kevin's information, and they will naturally come looking for us."

"We can't rush things at times like this. If we're too proactive, we'll lose the initiative later and have to wait for them to come to us."

Koto reminded her.

It sounds like they're trying to sell it to someone for a high price, and it would be a waste of valuable time.

But countless past experiences have proven this.

Gaining an early, absolute advantage in such situations can actually lead to greater efficiency and save time later on.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Kevin and the others released Kre and the others in the living room.

"No matter which department you're from, you should all go back now. Your own departments might already be riddled with holes."

Upon hearing Qiduo's words, the group exchanged glances before turning their attention to Kevin.

The pleading in his eyes was palpable.

However, Kevin simply waved his hand lightly.

He refused.

Although Kre was a terrorist and a scoundrel, he had been recruited and, given his abilities, was well aware of the urgency of the situation.

In situations like these, Kevin's abilities are invaluable, which goes without saying.

Even a scoundrel like him knows what's important and what's urgent.

But Kevin's imposing manner yesterday was deeply etched in his mind. So when Kevin showed signs of refusal, Kre couldn't utter a single word.

He couldn't bring himself to refute the other person's idea.

Just then, the butler walked in.

"Sir Kevin, we have new guests visiting. They are from the International Voyage Bureau and are very friendly."

Upon hearing this, Kevin nodded.

"Let them in."

As soon as the butler left, Koto couldn't help but complain, "Sure enough, they followed behind, just waiting for you idiots to lead the charge."

Kre and the others, who were being scolded, could only stand there.

But Kre himself didn't feel uncomfortable; on the contrary, he felt a little happy.

He doesn't have the standing or the attitude to let Kevin screen those who have been parasitized, but the people at the International Voyage Bureau might be able to, since the International Voyage Bureau wields considerable power to some extent.

Soon, the group was brought in.

They felt the pressure as soon as they entered, but fortunately this time they approached with a peaceful attitude, gently "knocking" on the door.

Therefore, there was no sense of being targeted or assertive.

I simply felt the pressure.

The man with the Golden Thread Glasses Man at the head of the group couldn't help but recall the feeling of Accompany with Beyond's team in the past.

The conclusion is...

No wonder this small team in front of me has been able to stay in the Dark Continent for several years.

Kevin looked at the man in the lead.

"I remember you, your name is Yas, right?"

This man was the ordinary official who represented the International Voyage Bureau on board the B. W.

He is still not Nen user.

Unexpectedly, he was also one of those who returned alive from the Dark Continent.

Looks like he got promoted.

"Mr. Kevin, congratulations on your victorious return from the Dark Continent. Of course, we also express our condolences to Mr. Kim and others who perished on the Dark Continent."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Gon, standing nearby, said, "My dad isn't dead, why should we mourn?"

The sudden words interrupted Yas's thoughts, causing him to pause in surprise.

Ah?

If they didn't come back, doesn't that mean they're dead?

Kevin smiled and looked at the other person, saying, "Don't be sad for them, they're still in the Dark Continent."

O

"What?!"

Even Yas couldn't quite control his facial expression at this moment.

Those he brought, as well as the people from Kre's side who hadn't left yet, all wore expressions of shock.

Kevin asked with a smile.

"After all, we're going to be exploring the Dark Continent for a long time. Are we going to have to abandon everything on the Dark Continent every time we return?"

"Naturally, we need personnel to remain and guard our established Forward Base."

Yas's expression turned extremely serious, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Mr. Kevin, this is no joke. Can you be sure what you're saying is true?"

Faced with the pressure from Kevin, Yas also took it very seriously.

Kevin just smiled.

But Yas had already gotten the answer he wanted.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Kevin, your team is truly a huge surprise."

He immediately overturned all the conclusions and established practices from the previous meeting.

He said it directly.

"Mr. Kevin, on behalf of the International Voyage Bureau, I would like to discuss with you all the possibility of cooperating with you."

"Since you still want to continue exploring the Dark Continent, you must need resources behind the scenes. I believe V6 has the capability to support your actions."

"Of course, if you have any gains to sell or resources to acquire, please consider us first. No one should be able to afford a higher price than us."

"However, according to the terms of the contract signed at the time, we also hope that we can cooperate and share information and intelligence about the Dark Continent."

After speaking, Yas glanced at Kre and the others beside him.

"Of course, their actions do not represent the attitude of V6; they are merely private actions by some subordinate departments of one of the member countries."

"After all, a country is a huge organization that cannot share a single brain. Everyone has their own ideas, and there will always be some fools who do embarrassing things."

Kre and the others completely ignored what Yas said.

Anyway, the biggest scapegoat has already appeared.

The department has been taken over by Parasite People, what business is it of theirs?

They were given a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Now all they have to do is figure out how to make Kevin the main force in the internal investigation.

But when he heard Yas talking about the Dark Continent next to him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is this the problem now?

Unable to resist, he leaned closer and whispered a few words in As's ear, despite Yas's furrowed brow.

Everyone present could hear what he was saying, but no one stopped him.

After hearing what Kre said, Yas's eyes widened in surprise.

This time he was truly anxious.

He stared intently at Kevin, even though he knew it was impolite.

"Mr. Kevin, are you really able to determine who is being parasitized?"

"Hehe, I've only seen one. I only spotted him; whether I can spot everyone is uncertain."

"No, no, no, this is perfect, this couldn't be better."

Yas suppressed his excitement.

He was eager to immediately communicate with his superiors and report the news.

However, at that moment...

An official following behind suddenly had his cell phone ring at that moment.

A phone that rings at this time must be for the most urgent moment, so he took it out without hesitation, looked at the message on it, and hurriedly reminded Yas behind him.

After hearing Yas, As frowned.

He suddenly felt mentally exhausted.

In just over ten minutes, his mood underwent countless changes.

"Mr. Kevin, please leave immediately. Saheluta's [Hell Black Hound] special forces have surrounded this area."

After saying that, he glared angrily at Kre and the others.

Kre simply shrugged. "Obviously, this has nothing to do with us; we're just cannon fodder."

However, he still solemnly reminded them, "Based on their command and action mechanism, it's impossible for them to arrive so quickly. Their commanders, or at least the higher-ups in command, must all have been parasitized; otherwise, they couldn't have been mobilized so easily."

When the Parasite People appeared, the higher authorities had already established a series of rigorous censorship systems for various highly dangerous areas and departments.

This review system serves two purposes: first, to prevent the most dangerous situations from occurring; and second, to accurately pinpoint the source of any problems that do arise.

In this situation, either all the top officials in the entire security department have been parasitized.

But in this case, the momentum would be even greater.

Therefore, the only possible explanation for this situation is that a top-ranking officer in the special forces has been infected.

"Mr. Kevin, you are very important right now. Please find a place to take refuge. They must have heavy firepower. There is no way for a human body to withstand such an attack."

"These parasitized people have no sense of right and wrong. If they knew your abilities, they would attack at all costs."

Kevin simply glanced at Kurapika and the others.

Kurapika nodded and walked outside with Pairo.

Ce, who was standing next to her, patted Bellolight on the shoulder.

Bellolight immediately realized what was happening, looked at Kevin, and with Kevin nodding, she quickly followed him. The three of them walked out of the Manor together.

Seeing this, Yas stopped trying to persuade them; Kevin and the others seemed very confident.

He figured he had been in the Dark Continent so long and had personally experienced its dangers.

Perhaps these people in front of us are really strong.
