Emergency Mission, Suddenly Erupting Contamination

Although Zhao Hun and Yang Yu could not watch this battle.

However, based on the sounds they heard, they roughly sketched out the scene of the battle in their minds.

The bell would ring every now and then, reminding them of the Daoist's location.

The fight was so loud that it seemed the old wooden house was about to be torn apart.

Boom!!!

After several loud bangs, all the commotion subsided.

Yang Yu and Zhao Hun saw that the surrounding environment began to distort, a sign that the Ghost Domain was beginning to dissipate. It seemed that the strange creature had finally been defeated by the Daoist.

[Ding! The Daoist's Character Perfection has increased by 12%!]

[Awakened Special Ability: Nether Eye (Excellent)]

[Nether Eye (Exceptional): You can see things that don't exist. You are afraid of light. Your eyes are intimidating and aggressive towards eerie and unusual creatures.]

The three of them appeared in the apartment at the same time.

At the same time, a foul odor emanated from the room.

Several skulls lay on the ground; they represented a family of three.

Sadly, they are all dead.

Zhao Hun sighed.

This was an outcome that was foreseeable. It's rare to find a skull still standing after someone has been missing for two days in the Ghost Domain. Most missing people have already been devoured alive, leaving not even bones behind.

"Notify the logistics staff to handle the situation."

The Daoist put away his peach wood sword and said with his hands clasped.

Zhao Hun immediately notified the logistics personnel outside.

A group of support staff, bundled up tightly, walked in and began cleaning the room.

"Daoist."

A logistics staff member bowed respectfully to the Daoist, "There is an urgent mission assigned by the Association."

"Oh?" The Daoist took the mission-related information from the logistics staff.

The mission location is Anzhao City.

It's next to their city.

Anzhao City is a free trade city with a large foreign population, especially foreigners, and there are many foreigners living in the city.

Anzhao City is a populous city with a highly developed economy, and due to its geographical proximity to the ocean, it is a coastal city.

Therefore, it became a port for the Xia Kingdom's foreign trade.

This emergency mission took place in Anzhao City.

This mission was issued by the Investigation Team.

The mission details are roughly as follows: A strange infection incident has occurred in Anzhao City. An investigation has revealed that it is related to an anomaly. To prevent the spread of contamination, all roads leading into and out of Anzhao City have been urgently sealed off.

The Investigation Team arrived in Anzhao City immediately, but unexpectedly, two investigators on the team were infected one after another and are now in isolation in the hospital.

However, this pollution-related disease was not something that ordinary doctors could cure, so the condition worsened.

Furthermore, this unusual contamination spread rapidly, and more than one person was infected with the disease.

Specifically, it manifests as rotting wounds on the body, with tentacles resembling squid growing out of these wounds and then devouring the rest of the body.

After the tentacles consume some of the flesh, they will "lay" clusters of tiny, transparent "eggs" that float in the air and are difficult to see with the naked eye.

This is probably how the disease spreads.

However, so far, the Investigation Team has not come up with any way to suppress it.

They tried various methods, including burning, flooding, laser irradiation, and high-temperature elimination, but all failed.

The Investigation Team can only issue emergency requests for assistance.

"A transparent egg?"

The Daoist nodded and instructed the logistics staff to drive them to Anzhao City.

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu found some snacks and meals prepared by the logistics staff in the car, which at least filled their stomachs.

Then they drank beverages and listened to music, playing a game when they got bored.

While playing games, they would chat about this and that.

"This emergency mission seems to be getting quite serious."

"Didn't we already say that tens of thousands of people have been identified and isolated as having contracted the contaminated disease?"

"Many more have not been found."

"The egg spread too quickly and too widely."

"A single tentacle takes less than two hours to hatch, mature, and lay eggs, and it can produce thousands of eggs. Furthermore, its spread can extend over several hundred meters, and if there is wind, the range will be even greater."

"Ordinary people have no ability to resist this strange energy; this time, many people are likely to die."

"If we can find a way to remove these tentacles, we should be able to save some of them."

They asked the logistics staff, who said that the Yigui Branch in Anzhao City had sent medical personnel from Headquarters.

Go to the quarantine area to obtain materials from contaminated patients and send these research samples to Headquarters.

With so many talented researchers at Headquarters, they will definitely be able to develop an antibody vaccine in a very short time.

But until they figure it out.

Those who are contaminated can only bear it on their own.

Ordinary doctors can only ensure the patient's safety by constantly removing and cutting away the rotting flesh and tentacles that have grown out.

However, this practice cannot continue indefinitely; otherwise, patients would die not from contamination, but from being subjected to slow slicing, which would be ridiculous.

But there's no better solution at the moment.

The logistics personnel had already contacted the Investigation Team, and they were allowed to pass through Anzhao City without any obstacles.

They soon arrived at their destination.

The entire Anzhao City was under lockdown; there was not a single person or vehicle on the streets.

The logistics personnel, driving their vehicles, were particularly conspicuous on the wide road.

There was only one car on the entire road.

They arrived at the quarantine area without incident.

After passing the identity check, the group entered the quarantine area.

As soon as I got off the bus.

Medical staff then came over with boxes full of isolation gowns, and asked them to disinfect themselves and put on the protective suits.

To avoid the possibility of infection, one must completely wrap oneself in protective clothing.

However, even with such comprehensive protection, some medical staff were still contaminated.

After all, those "eggs" are too small.

Medical staff can't possibly wear protective suits indefinitely without taking them off, can they?

The logistics staff put on their protective suits.

Only Zhao Hun, Yang Yu, and the Daoist refused, because these protective suits looked very cumbersome and would be difficult to use in combat.

Moreover, they are Contract Anomalist, their bodies modified by strange energies, giving them a natural resistance to pollution.

The medical staff knew who these people were, so they didn't insist. Instead, they began to explain the situation in the quarantine area.

"Many more people have been found to be contaminated. The quarantine zone is still being expanded and is almost overflowing."

"Furthermore, several patients have reached their limit and have lost their lives."

Medical staff led them to a strictly isolated room.
