Chapter 42: Konimeth
Is there a very serious risk of "heart-free" infection? Hearing Smith's words, Jiang Baimian raised his eyelids slightly.
Before that, she was a little ignoring this issue.
There are two reasons for this. One is that the captive commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute clearly stated that he and others entered that city, and had quarantined in advance, solving the crisis that "heartless disease" swept the world again. The other is that in the chaotic era, the subsequent dangers mainly come from the attacks of "heartless disease" and similar infighting, rather than continuous infection.
Therefore, in Jiang Baimian's cognition, as long as you do not travel through the "isolation belt" made by the Eighth Research Institute and explore the ruins of the city, there will be no great danger.
And now, she found that this seemed to be the case.
There were a large number of ruins hunters who visited them later, but they still could not escape the threat of "heartless disease".
As long as you enter there, no matter whether you pass the "isolation belt", you will have a high probability of getting infected with "heartless disease"? Or, the Eighth Institute is actually isolating the entire area? But did the Eighth Institute not leave any obstacles and allow those ruin hunters to pass through? Jiang Baimian was full of thoughts and heard Shang Jianyao's confirmation ask:
"real?"
Smith's key point:
"Although these things are just heard, many of the ruins hunters I know have been there, and they have never come back. At least I have never encountered them again."
Jiang Baimian nodded gently:
"Actually, I was wondering something before:
"That city and the surrounding area have been destroyed by 'heartless disease' for more than ten years, so why hasn't anyone known its specific location?
"It can feed hundreds of thousands of residents, and that force will more or less trade with the outside world, and exchange its own production for necessary resources."
It is already quite amazing to have a basic supply of food in just one area, and even if they have a large number of factories that can produce weapons, bullets, cloth and other things, they are likely to lack corresponding raw materials.
Even forces like "Pangu" that are hidden deep underground and have established an internal ecosystem have to buy ore, oil and other materials from the outside world.
It is unlikely that the city will be like "Pangu Biology" and the Eighth Research Institute, which is famous for its secrets, preserves its specific location very well. The old team where Shang Jianyao's father was able to find it can be seen in itself, which can explain many problems. Old He from Sui Mi City also clearly stated that he could meet people from that city from time to time more than ten years ago.
Now, Jiang Baimian probably knows the answer:
After the news of the city being destroyed by "heartless disease" spread, almost everyone who knew its specific location rushed to try to get a piece of the pie, but only a very small number could return alive and never dared to make corresponding ideas.
Smith smiled a little embarrassedly:
"I used to want to go and get some supplies to sell them, but after hearing those rumors, I didn't dare to do anything about that city anymore. We are no longer the same as when we had a meal but had no meal. We need to take our lives to grab supplies. Only when we are alive can we have more opportunities."
Papa, Shang Jianyao applauded him.
Jiang Baimian asked about the specific situation before the destruction of the city, and received a satisfactory reply.
Until then, they figured out the full name of the target location:
Koningmis.
This is an ancient place name, which is different from the current Red River language, meaning the King's Forest.
According to Smith, due to the southward expansion of the ice field, the forests there were severe early losses. Later, in order to reclaim more farmland, humans in that city and surrounding areas cut down a large number of trees, and the name of forests is no longer worthy of their reputation.
…………
The next morning, outside the ice and snow ruins.
Long Yuehong sat in the back row of the jeep, watching Shang Jianyao poke half of his body out of the window, and waved enthusiastically to Smith and other "rootless people" who were heading south to return to the sphere of influence of the "White Knights".
"Goodbye! Goodbye!" Shang Jianyao shouted loudly, but no corresponding thinking was implanted.
When he got back to the driver's seat, Long Yuehong said solemnly:
"Are we going to Koninmis?"
There is a high probability that you will get infected with "heartless disease" as soon as you enter.
At this time, a little bit of snow floated outside the car window, but it was not too heavy, and the wind was still gentle.
"Why not go?" Shang Jianyao asked, "Since there are still a large number of 'heartless' viruses hidden there and there is a possibility of spreading, we cannot ignore it. Well, at that time, let Lao Ge send the nuclear bomb in, and then detonate it remotely. With a bomb, the doomsday crisis will be resolved."
It's so noble and just... I thought you could play the family affection card, after all, where was the last place your father appeared... Jiang Baimian thought about it for a moment and said to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen:
“I thought about it for a long time yesterday and had some ideas.
"The most terrifying thing about 'heartless disease' is that it is unknown. I don't know why I get sick and I don't know when I will get sick.
“But we already have a lot of understanding of ‘heartlessness’ and clearly know that it is related to ‘New World’.
"We currently speculate that there are three ways to make the source of 'heart-free disease':
"One is the 'new world' strong man, two is the node that connects the 'new world', and three is the human belief in the 'new world', even some 'new world' strong man.
"So, all over Koninmis, I wonder if there is currently a 'heartless disease' virus that has decayed and disappeared," he said.
Gnava did not have the opportunity to grab the carbon base, so he let Bai Chen answer:
"The third way can be ruled out that Koningimis no longer provides faith with humans, and there are only corpses and a small number of 'intentional people'."
After so many years, it is difficult for the "unintentional" who do not know how to produce to maintain its original scale. Moreover, although the climate in that area is relatively warm and can be cultivated, which is different from other places in the ice field, it can still freeze to death in winter.
Long Yuehong followed and said:
"The 'new world' effect brought by faith should not create such a large-scale 'heartless disease'. Since the mid-to-late chaotic era, most places with faith have been, but except for Koningmis, we have never heard of any place suffering such a serious epidemic.
"As for the powerful men of the 'New World', I can't find a reason why they had to destroy Koningmis, and even stayed there forever, even the subsequent ruin hunters who entered the future."
Shang Jianyao smiled and said:
"Maybe they are like Yan Hu, who cannot return to reality, cannot control the body, and cannot control the body."
"So, it seems quite similar." Long Yuehong nodded while thinking.
After the Yanhu fell asleep, the human settlements on the island in the middle of the lake were also destroyed by "heartless disease".
Although not all of them suffer from "heartless disease", the remaining ones did not persist for too long under the continuous "heartless disease" infection and the attacks of "heartless persons".
Those who follow up on the island for exploration will also be infected with "heartless disease" once they stay for more than a certain limit.
"I think there is still a difference." Bai Chen expressed his opinion. "As a ruin hunter, when he entered Koninmis, he would definitely not think about exploring any secrets, but to obtain supplies as soon as possible. Even if there are interferences by the 'unintentioned people', they can fill their cars in less than a few hours, and simply put, they should be able to leave Koninmis the next day, and it will not exceed the critical point of three days. It is impossible for so many people to be unlucky and directly hit the area where the powerful man in the "New World" sleeps, right?"
Jiang Baimian added:
"The entire area of Koningmis should be much larger than that of the island in the middle of the lake. If you only move in the peripheral areas or even the edge of the city, there may not be any problems if you last for more than three days."
What she meant was that relying solely on the "New World" powerhouses, we could not create the current situation of Corningmis.
Jiang Baimian immediately concluded:
"Either there is a physical body of a certain year-old descending body sleeping there, or the investigation created a large, large and large ‘new world’ node, or a large number of ‘new world’ nodes distributed in different places in Koningmes."
"Why are the people from the Eighth Research Institute not infected with 'heartless disease' when they entered? They also claimed that they had searched the whole city but couldn't find my father's whereabouts." Shang Jianyao was upset about this, "Can't they do their best? How much time can this save us!"
His disappointment with the Eighth Institute was beyond words.
"Maybe the people of the Eighth Institute have mastered the method of clearing the 'New World' nodes, but the effect is not long-term. When the ruins hunters arrive, the 'New World' nodes are restored. It is also possible that the Eighth Institute has not searched the whole city and deliberately avoided the most dangerous area." Gnava expressed his analysis.
Long Yuehong nodded:
"The Eighth Research Institute also has strong men from the "New World" such as 'Professor Li', 'Vice Dean', and even the legendary darkness provides protection. It should not be so easy to get 'heartless'."
"We have it too!" Shang Jianyao immediately took out the "Engel of Life" necklace and said with his hands down, "The long night is long, and the life is blessed!"
Long Yuehong and others were speechless.
The backend of my own and others is indeed no worse than that of the Eighth Research Institute...
Shang Jianyao emphasized with righteousness:
"We explore Koningmis this time with the mission allowed by the company, and we will definitely be blessed by the big boss."
It seems that there is something really right... Jiang Baimian muttered silently.
"At that time, I will hold the 'Angel of Life' necklace and join Lao Ge in advance to determine whether the problem there is a node of the 'New World' or a strong man in the 'New World', or a legacy of a certain year-old man." Shang Jianyao applied for a front-line.
Jiang Baimian was silent for a moment and said:
"good."
She continued:
"According to Smith's description, it's only two or three days' drive from Koninmith and here. We'll go there now. Hello, please be careful to keep in a good spirit."
