global pollution

"..." Niu Changshou.

He pondered for a while, looked at Xia Ren, then at Qin Yun, finally focused on Lu Yi, and suddenly had an idea.

"Brother, do you still remember the test body I told you about?"

"Test body?"

Xia Ren thought for a while, and recalled that the night he rescued Chuan Lizi, Niu Changshou mentioned that when the Superman Association conducted certain experiments, it would use a special kind of experimental body. Genes and traits, even emotions and memories can also be given to experimental subjects through technical means, which are called test subjects.

Lu Yi is one of the more precious super test subjects, but for unknown reasons, she was exiled outside, and even possessed certain characteristics, becoming a containment object.

However, what is he doing with the test body at this time?

"Come with me, let's talk quietly."

Niu Changshou mysteriously pulled Xia Ren aside and said something in a low voice.

Although Qin Yun was curious about what they were talking about, they were too far away to hear clearly.

Lu Yi and Lili also watched from afar the two men gathered together, whispering to each other.

Xia Ren didn't seem to care much at first, but soon as if he had discovered a new world, he exclaimed one after another: "So that's the case." "It can still be like this." "Not bad." He glanced at Qin Yun.

His voice was a little loud, and Qin Yun and the others could hear it, so they were even more curious about what they were talking about.

Not long after, the two had finished plotting, and when they came back, Xia Ren held his head high, his eyes brightened, and he looked much more refreshed.

And Niu Changshou had a meaningful smile on his face.

Xia Ren was obviously very satisfied with him, and his attitude took a 180-degree turn compared to just now, and he announced directly in front of them: "Brother Changshou is my good brother Xia Ren for the rest of his life!"

Niu Changshou: "Then what I just said..."

Xia Ren patted his chest: "Don't worry, take care of me, we will go wherever you say."

Qin Yun tilted her head.

She knew Xia Ren well, but she couldn't figure out what Niu Changshou was talking about with Xia Ren at this moment.

Chapter 484 The Magical Use of Tentacles

"I guess you're not talking about serious travel."

Xia Ren complained.

They followed Niu Changshou to another strange city. They said it was a city, but in fact there was no one there. It was not far from Essera City, only less than [-] kilometers away, and it was right next to the Hoover Dam. downstream.

On the night when the Hoover Dam collapsed, the accumulated floodwater slanted out and swept the cities around the downstream river. Many residents were involved in the flood and disappeared. A large number of residential buildings and urban infrastructure were washed away. Cities are among the hardest hit places.

The government organized the transfer of residents in the city overnight, so now it is a ghost city.

Standing on the roof, Xia Ren looked at the empty buildings, the mud-filled streets, and all kinds of rubbish all over the streets, and asked, "So? What do I need to do?"

Niu Changshou took out a small bottle: "Do you know this one?"

The bottom of the bottle is a group of translucent mucus, the shape looks a bit disgusting, so suddenly exposed to the sun, it immediately produced a violent reaction, bursting into many parts like boiling, scurrying around in the bottle, but always There is no escape.

Of course Xia Ren knew this thing.

"Isn't this a drowning spirit? Where did you get it?"

As soon as he asked, he actually already knew the answer himself.

Niu Changshou put away the bottle and said: "The water in the Hoover Reservoir was strongly polluted. After the reservoir collapsed, the pollution spread downstream with the flood, polluting all the water sources. Although the government has banned some Severely polluted areas use local tap water and groundwater, but many people are still polluted to varying degrees."

After the flood, there will be a plague. Water pollution is indeed a big problem, and even if everyone eats and drinks with water transported from other regions, what about daily cleaning such as washing?

Moreover, part of the polluted water will evaporate into the atmosphere, and then fall to other places in the form of rainfall. There is no way to prevent it.

Xia Ren sighed: "What will happen to those who are polluted? Are there any symptoms?"

Niu Niu Changshou said: "Slightly infected people have not found any problems so far, and we are still tracking and observing. More severe infected people will have symptoms of limb weakness and high fever at first, and then muscle relaxation all over the body, and unexplained systemic cell traits will occur. changes, and the cell walls begin to dissolve.

At this point, the patient has lost consciousness. With the complete dissolution of the cell wall, the patient will begin to melt, and the hair, teeth and nails of the whole body will fall off, becoming a mass of amorphous mucus.

However, until this time, the patient still had life activities and did not die completely.Because the melted shape resembles a slime, the disease is tentatively called slime disease. "

Xia Ren rubbed his forehead: "Isn't this the process of completely transforming into a drowning spirit..."

Too bad, things like drowned spirits are too troublesome to deal with. Their only weakness is the fear of light, but light cannot kill them. It should be said that there is no way to cause fatal damage to drowned spirits yet.

A mutant that would run around and infect other people, but couldn't be killed, was a headache just thinking about it.

"What is a drowning spirit?"

Niu Changshou was not there on the night of the sacrificial ceremony, so he didn't know about it.

Xia Ren briefly explained to him the characteristics of the drowning spirit and the reason for its existence.

Niu Changshou thought for a while, and said, "The slime disease I mentioned should not be as dangerous as the drowning you mentioned."

Xia Ren asked unexpectedly, "How do you say that?"

Niu Changshou said: "Even the late-stage slime patients don't have the ability to move. They just turned into a pool of pus. Although there is really no way to cause substantial damage to them, there is nothing they can do. to actively infect others."

"Not capable of action?"

Xia Ren's heavy heart just now became beautiful in an instant, and he suddenly felt that the problem was not so serious.

With the active infection ability abolished, drowned spirits are no longer so scary.

Niu Changshou continued: "I asked you to help find the victims in the flood. They have all been polluted and have become slime patients."

"Have you prepared the sealing equipment to accommodate them?"

"Get ready, the camps of the Superman Association and the Foundation are not far away, and there are all kinds of supplies there."

"Okay, let's start now."

Xia Ren looked at Lily.

Originally, the little guy was the most suitable for this kind of thing, but given that she had been seriously injured in the previous battle, it had only been two days, and he couldn't bear to make the little guy tired because of this.

Xia Ren looked at Qin Yun and the others, and said, "Go to the camp to rest first, and leave it to me."

Qin Yun knew that she couldn't help here, so she nodded in agreement.

"Then be careful."
