Chapter 226 Traces of Life (14)

Six years ago, the aborigines relied on the spread of plague sources in the northern colonies of the South Ridge, causing a widespread plague called 'Flash Mosquito' to appear in the Moldor colony, the Odor colony and the Midra autonomous region.

Although this plague was cut off from the source of infection by the bishop of Huaiguang Church, 'White Mist', and healed all the infected people from the very beginning.

But in the early stage of infection, the strange symptoms and high contagiousness did slow down the pace of this second-level ascetic monk, preventing him from rushing back to Port Harrison in the first place to assist the viscount in fighting the totem lord.

According to subsequent analysis and tracing, doctors found that flash mosquito disease is a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquito larvae.

The infestors poured infested water containing a large number of diseased larvae into wells and shared water tanks, resulting in the infection of many people in the colonies.

Although using water as a medium is a common feature of many parasites, Ian still couldn't help thinking about it a little bit.

——After all, the South China Sea ruins group is a sacred place for the aborigines.

That being the case, isn't it a matter of course that some of the parasites in the Holy Land were kept by the natives and cultivated as some kind of plague poison?

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but diverge a little more: "The flash mosquito disease back then is nothing more than the flying flames agents who have appeared frequently in the recent period, the reason why they cooperate with the natives... is really just to want to Do you use the natives to contain Harrison Port or the South Ridge Province?"

According to his thinking, strengthening the indigenous Gu poison and fighting biological warfare in Nanling is the most suitable method for Feiyan Land's strategic goals.

After all, their place is dry and hot, which naturally blocks most viruses and parasites, so there is no need to worry about backlashing back to the local area.

But the empire is in trouble, even if it can be cured, it will cause extreme instability in the local area.

After writing these down and putting them in the notepad of the silver chip, Ian felt a little uneasy: "Although I don't know if this parasite is naturally like this, or it has been distorted by nuclear radiation or the spiritual energy field to evolve into what it is today. , but this strange creature is enough to illustrate the danger of the ruins group."

"If this parasite is made into a biological weapon..."

——The native great shaman is indeed dead, and the crocodile dragon also goes with him.

But the aborigines accepted the firearm assistance from Flameland, and there must be special agents behind them... It is really unknown whether the opponent has been weakened or not.

If this kind of parasite is discovered by Fei Yandi and made into a weapon, it is definitely not just a Nanling that is in danger.

There are really many things to worry about, Ian shook his head slightly: "I hope, that Baiwu Bishop of Huaiguang Church really wiped out the flash mosquito disease back then."

"Otherwise, things would be much more difficult."

Stepping over the corpses of the lizards, Ian continued forward.

Walking across the solid stone bridge, the dark and unfathomable entrance passage of the redwood base is ahead.

This passage is quite wide, more than ten meters wide from left to right, and about 20 meters high. It is obviously not a portal for humans to pass through. At least ordinary armor can enter and exit without any pressure. Even large siege equipment can easily enter and exit.

The ground and the walls on both sides are paved with large solid white rocks, and the top presents a semicircular dome structure supported by some kind of alloy skeleton. Although it has been thousands of years old, it is still very strong.

However, because of the karst cave waterfall in front and the blue river next to it, it is also very humid here. The ground of the channel is full of slowly surging water, and there is also a weird smell of decay and rust in the air, which should be some kind of metabolite of iron-corroding bacteria the taste of.

It smells bad, but it's not miasma, so it doesn't affect breathing.

Walking through the passage, Ian came to a rather bright hall.

It can be seen that this hall was originally a natural cave. Most of the decorative reliefs on both sides of the wall are slightly carved and reconstructed from the original calcified rock walls of the cave. There are many strange star pictures engraved on it, as well as some flying giant ships... …

If the natives of the world of Terra came here, they would probably generally classify it as "ancient fantasy murals of pre-epoch civilization", but Ian knew that these relief murals were nothing more than strangely shaped universes View of spaceship flying to the stars.

Sighing slightly, Ian is now [-]% sure that Sequoia Base should be the central base responsible for controlling the space elevator and orbital accelerator here.The nuclear fusion energy supply group responsible for supplying energy to these two giant structures should also be under the control of this place.

Of course, it must have other functions, otherwise, it would not be a general 'base', but a 'space engineering control center' or something.

"No wonder Mr. Hilliard has been looking for the door to enter this place... The big storm in the South China Sea is essentially a relic natural disaster caused by heat dissipation. If we don't make adjustments here, no one can solve the nuclear fusion power generation from the outside without damage. Station cooling problem."

Ian nodded slightly and looked around the interior.

The interior of the hall is not empty, there are many messy bones and light sources here.

The skeletons include humans, as well as wild beasts and monsters. All of them have decayed into skeletons, and their clothes have turned into ashes. Only some stone and iron utensils at the bottom of the skeleton are still intact.

It is worth noting that these bones, and even the bones of wild beasts, are also very different from normal. They are either twisted and curled up into a ball, or the bones are scattered all over the place, as if they were torn apart alive by some huge force.

There are even some skeletons that seem to be sitting calmly on one side, but they are holding their heads in their arms. The posture of their arms looks very strong, as if they want to completely crush their fallen heads. Generally, it is obvious that they have experienced very extreme pain before death.

Ian frowned and glanced at the skeleton. He was keenly aware that there were many hypertrophic bony spurs on the skeleton that shouldn't exist.

The light source is some luminous algae on both sides of the stone wall, which emit cold light without temperature, and still have a strong brightness after thousands of years.

In other words, from the very beginning of design, these algae lamps have considered things that will happen a thousand years later?

And from the looks of it, it seems to be a bit similar to fluorescent algae, but a little primitive...

In addition, there are many erected iron coffins in the hall, with transparent glass windows on them, and it can be seen that the iron coffins are filled with some kind of dark liquid.

It's just that these liquids are too turbid, even with Ian's eyesight, it's impossible to see the built-in contents clearly for a while.

In the vision of foreseeing, there are no other creatures in the hall, which is why Ian can rest assured to observe carefully.

And he also noticed that there are biological life here.

Part of the hall is filled with skeletons, and part of it is those strange iron coffins, but the other part, located in the corner of the hall, is some bonfires that have not been extinguished, and some scattered and chewed animal bones are placed beside them. Judging from the ungnawed skull, it should be some kind of giant rat.

In the sheltered place on the inner side, you can still see a few grass beds piled up with dry moss, with some dark traces beside them.

It appears to be blood.
