Chapter 8 Requirements
Red brick fireplace,
The burning firewood is like an old man who is about to run out of life, making the final moan with a hoarse and weak voice.
Yi Chen and the mysterious man sat opposite each other on the brown hard leather sofa,
He held steaming ginger tea in his hand, which could effectively dispel the body cold accumulated from living in the cemetery for many years.
"Your grace has earned you the opportunity to speak with me here.
As a foreign worker, you must have a lot of questions in your mind... Don't be restrained, just chat about anything. "
"How do i call you?"
"Just call me Wilbert, I'm in charge of this Seven-Day cemetery."
As Yi Chen speculated, this is the manager mentioned in the manual.
"I want to know why there is an extra corpse out of thin air in No. 4 cemetery?
If a body is brought into the cemetery from outside,
There must be a transport and burial process, it should be easy to find out, shouldn't it? "
Yi Chen started with small questions related to himself in front of him, trying to open up the conversation between the two, and if possible, ask about the basic situation of this world.
"The 'corpse' you killed didn't come in from the outside, but was generated by the cemetery itself."
"Self-generated?"
"Cemetery No. 4 is the area with the most corpses and the most mixed.
Such clutter can easily cause 'disease',
The living corpses killed by you are the products of the diseased trees... Because they are formed in the cemetery, they will tend to the corpses here to undergo 'morphological evolution'. "
After getting the answer, Yi Chen had more questions, "After the tree was infected, it turned into a corpse? How did the matching coffin and tombstone come from?"
“[Hiding and camouflage] is what pathogens are best at, blending into the environment with almost perfect mimicry... By the time they are discovered, the disease has already spread.
However, their camouflage is not absolutely perfect.
When you become a gentleman in the organization, you will naturally learn how to identify them. "
Yi Chen was full of surprise, "You mean that the metal coffin and tombstone were simulated by pathogens?"
"Yes, this is just the most basic disguise.
You haven't seen a pathogen masquerading as a village, a cave, or even a mountain. "
Although Wilbert's words were brief, Yi Chen imagined a completely infected end world.
but,
There was a slight smile on the corner of Yi Chen's mouth, a smile full of anticipation and desire to explore.
He took a sip of the ginger tea in his mouth and said softly:
"Is this world... sick?"
"That's right, it's quite a luxury for most of us to be able to sit here drinking tea and communicating normally.
The situation [outside] is far worse than you imagined,
However, there are topics about the outside world that we should not talk about now, and this belongs to your follow-up research work. "
Seeing that the topic was pulled back, Yi Chen stopped pressing and continued to ask about the cemetery.
"I still have some questions about the cemetery,
The employee handbook records many regularized requirements, which should be used to judge whether "infected" or not.
In this way,
The entire cemetery seems to be prone to abnormalities and illnesses... Knowing that these corpses may have problems, why not just cremate them, but choose to build this cemetery? "
"the reason is simple,
The 'benefits' generated here are greater than the 'risks' that need to be borne,
You can think of the entire cemetery as a large factory,
For example, this little guy on your shoulder is a nearly perfect [product] that can effectively help us fight pathogens. "
"I see."
Yi Chen has already seen the 'ability' of the little meat ball,
Without visual enhancement, it would be impossible for him to confront the living corpse head-on.
The manager continued:
"Theoretically speaking, this little guy belongs to the property of the organization.
But I am very happy today, and I am very pleased to have such an interesting newcomer from outside.
If you can fulfill a request, this little guy will be 'quietly' given to you. "
"any request?"
Ming people don't say dark words, Yi Chen really wants this little meat ball.
"You'll know when the cremation is over."
Next,
Yi Chen asked about the situation in each area of the cemetery,
I learned that before me, at least 200 external employees had worked here, and none of them could leave the cemetery smoothly.
Also got an important message.
Organization Mark G&D,
The full name is Gentleman & Doctor (gentleman and doctor).
but,
The manager didn't say much about other things in the organization, world intelligence, and the reasons for the disease.
According to him, these things need Yi Chen to go to the outside world to explore on his own.
Verbal reporting is a waste of time and meaningless.
time flies.
The manager rolled up his cuffs and glanced at his watch.
"The cremation should be almost done, come with me."
Back to the cremation area, which is hot and full of burnt aroma,
When the metal cover door of the incinerator was opened, the corpses of the plants killed by Yi Chen had basically been carbonized, but still retained a relatively complete form.
Take it out of the oven, plate it, and send it to the operating room.
The manager brought a large pair of tweezers, and picked out a crystal clear spherical crystal, about the size of a ping pong ball, from the waist and abdomen of the corpse.
The little meat ball with eyes closed all the time wakes up at this moment,
The eyeballs in the mouth were exposed, staring at the bead.
Thick saliva also flowed out, soaking the fluff on the edge of the mouth.
Ding~ The manager gently put the beads on the metal plate aside,
Take out a monocle from the lining of the suit and observe carefully:
"Huh? To have such a fineness and shape... I regret it a bit.
This thing can be sold at a very high price if it is brought to the organization.It can even help me expand and upgrade the cemetery. "
After completing the inspection,
The manager placed the bead in the palm of his hand and displayed it in front of Yi Chen.
White jade color,
The transparency is about 80%.
Some swimming green light spots can be clearly seen inside,
"I have to say, your luck is really good.
The probability of producing 'crystal' like this initial state disease is less than 5%.
Not to mention that this crystal is of the highest quality regardless of its shape or color, and its internal essence is also perfectly preserved.
Next you have three options.
1. Store and hide this crystal, and then go to the city where the organization is located.
Once you've become a resident, or been granted gentry status, give the beads to a local artisan for a nice piece of gear.
2. Same as the previous method, you need to become a member of the organization and sell at a high price through internal channels.
Or sell it directly to me at 50% of the price, which can avoid a lot of risks for you.After all, once this bead is seen by others, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
3. Swallow the crystal on the spot with me and turn it into a part of your body.
This process carries the risk of death,
If you succeed, you will obtain the "disease characteristic" retained between the crystals... This characteristic will allow you to live longer in this world, and it will also make you more likely to pass the assessment and become a member of the organization.
The third point is also the [requirement] we talked about before.
As long as you can swallow and survive, the little guy on the shoulder will be a farewell gift at the cemetery. "
Yi Chen didn't rush to answer, but looked thoughtful.
"Manager, I just have one question.
If I'm not mistaken, this thing is a crystallized product of pathogens... After I swallow it, I may be infected and turn into a living corpse. "
"Yes, that's where the risk lies.
If you fail to combine normally and show any symptoms of disease, I will personally execute you. "
"I see."
Yi Chen took the crystal carefully, feeling the residual heat of burning on the surface.
I've already made a decision in my heart,
Gulu~ swallow it in one gulp.
