Joyna withdrew her thoughts and said seriously to the ghost, "Listen, some things in the mine city have become very tricky recently, you have to come back quickly!"

"Well, what else is there except for the Gutiecheng incident?"

"It's hard for me to make it clear now. You've been in the laboratory before and may not know much about it. Recently, there has been an epidemic in the city, and it seems that it is not an ordinary disease. Many people who are sick have died several deaths."

Joyna's words were helpless and her expression was dull, indicating that there was nothing left to say.

The ghost was stunned and said, "Is it a large-scale infectious disease? What are the clinical manifestations?"

"I don't know. Su Zhe has been paying attention to these things these days. Some people feel pain due to skin ulceration; some people have fever and coma in their bodies; some people have even grown mutant tissues on their skin."

"Oh my God! When did this start?"

"I'm not sure, maybe a few weeks ago or earlier, no one found out what the source of the disease was."

"What are you going to do?"

"Now Su Zhe and Long Ping are studying those patients. They say that the source of the epidemic may be caused by some kind of virus with radiation energy, and there should be results in the next few days."

The ghost was stunned again: "Is it a radiation virus?"

"Yes, Long blames the sky..."

"Wait, who is Long Chantian?"

"Oh! By the way, I forgot to tell you that he is the blood clan king, named Long Yuantian."

"So it's the guy from the blood clan, you continue."

"He seemed to know something, but he wasn't sure, so he suggested that we go to the field to investigate the black tower that just appeared. It is said that the appearance of the epidemic may be related to that thing."

The ghost pondered for a moment and said, "Then, measures must be taken as soon as possible, first isolate the patients, and then figure out the origin of this matter as soon as possible! If it is really a virus..."

"If it's a virus, what will happen?"

The ghost shook his head: "It's scary - damn it! It's like going back to the Middle Ages all at once, this damn era! We have no means to control such a large-scale outbreak of viruses."

"Well--you're right, we can't control it at all...what should we do? What should we do! If the master is there, he will definitely have a way..."

Joyna's eyes were straight and she was deeply thinking: Although she had never experienced such things, she had a premonition that something terrible would happen based on her knowledge and insight.

The panic, buying, and even riots of the people will be a subversion of the entire social order.

After a long silence, the ghost suddenly said, "I know what you are worried about. Fortunately, the entire mining city is still under our control. As long as we prevent it properly, we should be able to control it well. But I am afraid..."

"But what?" Joyna asked.

"I'm a little afraid that this is done by the opponent, but I'm afraid that their purpose is clear, and it may not be a coincidence that such a thing happened at this time."

"You mean, the outcome your opponent wants is to subvert the rule here!"

Joyna happened to think of going with him.

No matter in any era, any ruling class likes control the most, and what they fear most is losing control.

Because losing control means that the person in power loses power, and losing power means that he will be destroyed and slaughtered by others.

She understood that if it was deliberately done by the ancient Iron City or the Obsidian Hunter Corps, secretly sabotaging and creating chaos, then it would be a man-made disaster. And their backing would definitely attack the mine city by force and completely occupy the place.

The ghost continued, "Well, you know, what will happen if that happens! We have no way out. You have to prepare for the worst of the nobles - war preparations!"

Social unrest and public riots are beyond control.

The Mining City, the most prosperous human settlement on the central continent, will disappear in the order established over hundreds of years.

Without order, it means a regression in the civilization system!

The whole system will be upside down, mobs, gangs and nobles will kill each other, people with resentment and viciousness will go crazy, and everyone will become vicious beasts without any reason.

The opponents do this to cause greater panic so that they can achieve their ulterior motives.

Sometimes, rumors are more panicking than diseases, and people's panic is much more serious than the problems caused by the virus.

According to Joyna's calculations, based on the current situation, if each person is infected with 2 people, it will be transmitted to more than a quarter of the population of the mining city, with nearly 100,000 people in less than a few days.

Of course, this is just the roughest estimate, and the actual situation may be much more complicated than this.

Maybe it will be lower than this number, or it may be much higher than this number.

Joyna told the ghost about her predictions about this.

"Listen, what you are talking about is only one of these situations. It is difficult to draw conclusions now. Investigations in several aspects are very important. However, if we do not know the source of this matter, we cannot know the way of transmission of the virus."

"Well, what are you talking about is there any other way of transmission besides spreading through humans themselves?" Joyna asked.

"That's right! Human-to-human transmission is just our guess. So the first step is to figure out the source of it. Only in this way can it be curbed from the source. Otherwise, your estimated number may be useless, so this is the most conservative estimate."

The ghost's answer is indeed very objective.

Joyna had also consulted with Long Ping, Su Zhe and others before, and their answers were the same.

"So, if the source of these viruses comes from somewhere else..." Joyna thoughtfully.

The ghost shook his head and said, "The root of the matter must be found! If this is not the case, we will not be able to completely control its spread and understand the truth. We can only watch the worst happen and go step by step to extremes!"

"I understand. As long as the source is still there, we cannot avoid this. Even if everyone stays at home, they will be infected."

"Yes, if the virus is spreading through water, air or something, we can ban it immediately."

"Well, I found the source this morning, I hope we can do it."

Joyna's expression returned to her former arrogance, which was her expression that she had regained control.

"Someone here has gone to find the source of the virus, but don't be surprised when you hear it. They are blood clans and their masters, but you haven't seen them before."

"Oh, I really admire the master's ability. Even these terrifying blood clans can become his subordinates. But do you really have so many blood clans who are alive?"

"What does it mean?" Joyna asked, feeling a little strange to the ghost.

"Ha--it's nothing, but I got a lot of data from the bodies of the Monica sisters, which is quite interesting. The blood clan not only has strong regeneration ability, but also has some things that seem incredible to humans in their bodies. If it weren't for the fact that the research equipment was too simple, I would definitely study it carefully when I had time." After that, he smiled.

"Is it incredible? What did you find..."

While Joyna was talking, she suddenly felt a violent shaking coming from the opposite side.

It seemed that something had hit his car, and with her understanding of the ghost's body, it was unlikely that such a situation would occur.

"Hey! Ghost? What happened to you!" Joyna shouted in a hurry, and his calm expression that had just recovered suddenly changed.

She saw a black light flashing, and then a huge limb flashed through the front of the off-road vehicle. In the huge noise, she lost contact with the ghost.

Thunder and lightning were mixed in the wilderness, and it started to rain heavily in an instant.

"Squeak-Ga!"

A flash of lightning broke through the night sky, and the low-visibility wilderness shone for a second. In the white light, the off-road vehicle's body was split in half in the black light.

The noise of the metal being cut is so huge and harsh.

This absolutely terrifying power makes people unable to help but cover their ears and tremble.

"Listen, bastard! No matter who you are, you can't get out of here alive today!" a deformed tall figure who was twisted and not like a human.

The speaker was wearing a black robe, with only dark shoulder armor and sickle-like arms exposed outside.

The off-road vehicle was cut by this sickle.

The rain splashed on his shiny black shoulder armor without leaving any water stains, as if it was covered with grease.

The ghost's body was more than ten meters away from where Shen Mingxuan stood. He was supporting the ground with his hands and trying hard to stand up.

The moment the huge sickle slashed the car, he was hit by a terrifying impact force. Although he was injured a little when he landed on the ground, it was not seriously injured.

"Hmph—Who am I supposed to be? It turns out that it is a dung beetle crawling out from under the sand!"

The ghost's mechanical mask was covered with mud and was quickly washed away by the pouring rain.

After seeing the person opposite, he was also surprised. This guy was too fast, right?

But then, he saw another figure in the air, which was the woman called "Screaming Man" by the Obsidian Hunter Corps, Gu Feiyan.

Her huge wing membrane suffocated behind her back, rolling up waves of water mist.

"It turns out that someone is driving it. If this body wasn't strong enough, I almost buried myself in the ground by you. Tell me! Who the hell are you?"

Shen Mingxuan asked with a cold tone with a glittering light in his green eyes.

"Haha, just say you are a dung beetle, and you can even dig holes in the ground."

The ghost wanted to make a few more jokes, but suddenly his whole body trembled, and an electric fire flashed on his mask.

Oh no, was it broken when it was hit by the huge impact force just now?

"I won't ask again, boy! When you die, I will take you back and nail it to the wall and study it carefully."

Shen Mingxuan's body swelled, and his arms seemed to be twice as large as flesh and blood veins. A black evil spirit faintly emerged from the black sickle.

He began to walk towards the ghost step by step.

In fact, the ghost's attention was not on Shen Mingxuan. He had been paying attention to the woman in the sky.

Fortunately, the big bat hadn't planned to take action yet, and kept hovering in the air. If even that woman took action, it would be difficult for him to deal with it even if he had hit him up and down.

The ghost was not willing to be outdone and sneered: "Let the horse come over! Dot, tsk! Try it and see who was finally nailed to the wall as a specimen."

"Ignorous human, do you think you can escape my palm with a little bit of lip service? I will have a virtue with that idiot Lin Wen, but in the end I'm still..."

"What did you say?!"
