Huai Xu dragged the corpse of the alien beast while cursing: "Why do we have to do these dirty and tiring jobs again!"
Wen Jing on the side comforted him: "We are interns."
Huai Xu became even angrier: "Interns have no human rights, right?"
Wen Jing nodded.
A soldier not far away shouted: "Hurry up, the next wave of alien beasts will attack again."
Huai Xu rolled his eyes at the soldier and muttered: "If you think it's too slow, come and help!"
After a while, after piling up all the corpses of the alien beasts, Huai Xu straightened his back.
Soon, a soldier came with a special flamethrower and set the corpse on fire.
The burning corpse of the alien beast emitted several meters of black smoke, and the air was filled with a pungent smell similar to burnt plastic.
Huai Xu looked at the corpse burning in the fire and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if Fatty can make it this time."
Wen Jing crossed his arms and said: "I can definitely do it."
"What are you doing?"
At this time, a strange male voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
The two members of the professional team turned around and saw a man carrying a huge sword box.
Huai Xu glanced at this weirdo and said unhappily: "Burning the corpse of the alien beast, didn't you see it?"
Qin Ze was happy.
This kid is still the same temper that he asked for a beating three years ago.
"Of course I know that the corpse of the alien beast is being burned, why is it being burned?"
Wen Jing saw that Qin Ze seemed to be "unfriendly", and stretched out his arm to stop Huai Xu.
"The order from above, if you don't burn it..."
Wen Jing had just said half of his words when a soldier who looked like a team leader came over.
"Who are you?"
Qin Ze took out the gold-plated magic card calmly.
Seeing the card, the soldier straightened up: "Are you here for the epidemic?"
Epidemic?
Qin Ze nodded slightly: "Take me to see the person in charge of your position."
The soldier saluted and led the way.
Huai Xu looked at Qin Ze's back as he walked away, and was surprised: "I didn't expect him to be a law enforcement officer."
Wen Jing was not surprised: "The military has been investigating for so long and has not found a reason. It's time to ask for external help."
Huai Xu smiled: "So the fat man can be saved?"
Wen Jing looked serious: "Maybe this guy is very strong."
...
Large and small defensive positions tightly surround the mine and Penglai City like satellites.
Each position is divided into a combat zone and a living zone.
The combat zone is a man-made hill, or a filled basin and gully, which is used to slow down the advance of the monsters.
Each defense area has its own independent artillery support team. When the support of the position is saturated, it will seek long-range fire support from Penglai City.
When the beasts break through the fire coverage area, it is the turn of the warriors stationed here to take the stage.
Behind the battle area is the soldiers' daily living area.
There are some semi-permanent houses and temporary tents here.
After all, this is also within the scope of the frontier position. It is possible that the beasts will rush in, and no matter how well the house is built, it will be useless.
As soon as he entered the living area, Qin Ze heard coughing one after another. Many people here seemed to be sick.
"The commander is inside."
The soldier took Qin Ze to the outside of a tent and left.
At the same time, the artillery fire on the front line also stopped, and another attack by the beasts was repelled.
Qin Ze opened the tent and saw a middle-aged man in a dirty and torn military uniform looking at the position map.
Hearing the voice behind him, the commander turned around and looked at Qin Ze curiously.
"Who are you?"
Qin Ze took out the imperial card again and introduced himself: "I am here to investigate the epidemic under the order of the Grand Archon."
The commander's eyes lit up: "Please sit down."
Qin Ze pulled out a chair and the two sat down face to face.
The commander was at the seventh level and had a new wound on his shoulder, which was obviously left not long ago.
Thinking of the corpses of the strange beasts just now, Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh that this commander really led by example.
"Can you tell me more about the situation here?"
The commander immediately introduced: "The first patient in our position appeared two days ago. Since then, it has been out of control. The number of patients has increased several times every day."
"Now there are more than a hundred patients in my position alone, half of whom are in serious condition and have been sent back to Penglai City. I estimate that another batch will be sent back tonight."
Qin Ze asked: "When was the first day when patients appeared in other positions?"
The commander thought for a while: "At the forefront, about a week, the situation there is more serious than mine."
"Nearly half of the soldiers in the worst position can't stand up because of illness, and the monsters attack at this time, alas~"A week, it seems to have nothing to do with the preacher, he was busy preaching at that time.
Qin Ze then thought of Capricorn, one of the twelve constellations.
This guy's ability is disease, and the last time he almost put the whole Snow City into a disease crisis.
However, Capricorn needs to use disease spores to transmit his ability.
Although it is difficult for low-level warriors to find disease spores, high-level warriors can tell at a glance.
Now the situation on the entire frontier is extremely serious. Not to mention high-level warriors, I'm afraid that the ninth-level warriors have walked back and forth several times.
If it was Capricorn who did it, he should have been caught long ago.
Qin Ze then asked: "What are the symptoms of these patients?"
The commander replied: "It's just a common cold and fever, it's also weird, can warriors catch a cold?"
It is precisely because warriors don't catch colds that this matter becomes more and more weird.
After learning the simple situation from the commander, Qin Ze stood up and said, "Next, I will conduct some investigations here. I hope your people can cooperate."
The commander nodded: "I will tell them. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Several groups of people have come to Penglai City in the past two days, but they haven't found out the reason."
"If you ask me, this thing should be done by professionals. It would be better to let you law enforcement officers come earlier."
After saying goodbye to the commander, Qin Ze came outside for the first time.
The length of a day in the abyss is different from the world time. An abyss day is about 1.5 world days.
At this time, the abyss is approaching night, and the sky is getting darker.
The "patients" are isolated in an area.
Qin Ze came to the isolation area under the guidance of a soldier.
He walked through several tents at random, and the symptoms of the patients were similar.
Fever and cough, severe breathing difficulties.
Qin Ze even used the source of God to check and found nothing abnormal, as if it was just an ordinary cold.
Then, Qin Ze walked into another tent and was stunned by the scene inside.
The four members of the professional team were there, and the fat man was lying on the bed.
Lu Tongtong and the other two who were standing nearby were anxious.
