Red brick fireplace room,

The burning firewood is like an old man who is about to run out of life, making his final groan in a hoarse and weak voice.

Yi Chen and the mysterious man sat opposite each other on the brown hard leather sofa,

Holding the steaming ginger tea in his hand, this thing can effectively dispel the cold accumulated from living in the cemetery for many years.

"Your graceful performance has earned you the opportunity to talk to me here.

As a foreign worker, you must have many questions in your mind...don't be restrained, you can talk about anything you want."

"How do i call you?"

"Just call me Wilbert. I will be in charge of this Seven-Day Cemetery."

As Yi Chen speculated, this was the manager mentioned in the manual.

"I want to know why there is an extra corpse out of thin air in Cemetery No. 4?

If a corpse is brought to the cemetery from outside,

There must be a transportation and burial process, it should be easy to find, right?"

Yi Chen started with the small issues related to him in front of him, tried to open up the conversation between the two, and if possible, asked about the basic situation of the world.

"The 'corpse' you killed did not come in from the outside, but was generated by the cemetery itself."

"Generate on its own?"

"Cemetery No. 4 is the area with the most corpses and the most complex area.

Such clutter can easily lead to 'disease',

The living corpse you killed is the product of tree disease... Because it was formed in the cemetery, it turned back and "morphologically evolved" toward the corpse here."

After getting the answer, Yi Chen had more questions, "After the trees were infected with the disease, they turned into corpses? Where did the matching coffins and tombstones come from?"

"[Hiding and camouflage] are 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's face was full of surprise, "Are you saying that the metal coffin and the tombstone were all simulated by pathogens?"

"Yes, this is just the most basic disguise.

You haven't seen a pathogen disguised as a village, a cave, or even a mountain range."

Although Wilbert's words were brief, they allowed Yi Chen to imagine an end-of-the-world world that was completely infected with disease.

but,

There was a slight smile on Yi Chen's lips, a smile full of expectation and desire to explore.

He sipped the ginger tea in his mouth and said softly:

"Is the world...sick?"

"Yes, we can sit here, drink tea, and communicate normally, which is already quite a luxury for most people.

The situation [outside] is far worse than you think,

However, topics about the outside world are not what we should talk about now, this belongs to your follow-up research work."

Seeing that the topic was brought back, Yi Chen no longer pressed and continued to ask about things in the cemetery.

"I still have some questions about the cemetery,

The employee handbook records many standardized requirements, which should be used to determine whether someone is "infected" or not.

From this point of view,

The entire cemetery seems to be prone to abnormality and disease... knowing that there may be problems with these corpses, why not just cremate them instead of building this cemetery?"

"the reason is simple,

The 'benefits' generated here are greater than the 'risks' that need to be taken.

You can think of the entire cemetery as one big factory,

For example, this little guy on your shoulder is an almost perfect [product] that can effectively help us fight pathogens."

"I see."

Yi Chen has already seen the ‘power’ of the little meatball,

Without visual enhancement, it would be impossible for him to confront the living zombies head-on.

The manager continued:

"Logically speaking, this little guy is the property of the organization.

But I am very happy today, and I am very happy that such an interesting newcomer like you has appeared.

If you can fulfill a request, this little guy will be given to you 'quietly'."

"any request?"

Ming Ren doesn't tell secrets, Yi Chen really wants this little ball of meat.

"You will know after the cremation is over."

Next,

Yi Chen asked about the situation in each area of ​​the cemetery.

I learned that before me, at least two hundred external employees had worked here, and none of them had been able to leave the cemetery smoothly.

Also got an important piece of information.

Organization Mark G&D,

The full name is Gentleman & Doctor.

but,

The manager didn't say much about other things about the organization, world intelligence, and the causes of disease.

According to him, Yi Chen needs to go to the outside world to explore on his own.

Oral reporting is a waste of time and meaningless.

time flies.

The manager opened his sleeves and glanced at his watch.

"The cremation should be almost done, come with me."

Returning to the hot and burning cremation area,

When the metal cover door of the incinerator was opened, the plant corpses killed by Yi Chen had been basically carbonized, but they still retained a relatively complete form.

Take it out of the oven, put it on a plate, and send it to the operating room.

The manager took a pair of large tweezers and pinched out a crystal-clear spherical crystal, about the size of a table tennis ball, from the waist and abdomen of the corpse.

The little fleshy ball that had closed its eyes the whole time woke up at this moment,

The eyes in his mouth were exposed and he stared at the bead.

Thick saliva also flowed out, soaking all the fluff around the mouth.

Ding~ The manager gently placed the beads on the metal plate aside.

Take out a monocle from the lining of the suit and observe carefully:

"Hmm? It has such a good quality and shape... I regret it a bit.

If you get this thing into the organization, you can sell it for a very high price. 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,

Transparency is about 80%,

Some moving green light spots can also be clearly seen inside.

"I have to say, you are really lucky.

The probability of producing ‘crystals’ for a person with this initial state of illness is less than 5%.

Not to mention that this crystal is of the highest quality in terms of shape and color, and its internal essence is perfectly preserved.

Next you have three options.

1. Collect and hide this crystal, and then go to the city where the organization is located.

After you become a resident or are granted the status of a gentleman, give the beads to the local craftsmen to use them to build a good piece of equipment.

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 crystals on the spot with me and turn them into a part of your body.

This process involves the risk of death,

If you can succeed, you will obtain the "pathological characteristics" retained in the crystal... This characteristic will allow you to live longer in this world, and 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 one on your shoulder will serve as a graveyard send-off."

Yi Chen was not in a hurry to answer, but looked deep in thought.

"Manager, I just have one question.

If I guess correctly, this thing is a crystallized product of a pathogen... After I swallow it, I may contract the disease and turn into something similar to a living corpse."

"Yes, the risk is here.

If you fail to combine properly and show any symptoms of the disease, I will personally execute you."

"I see."

Yi Chen carefully took the crystal and felt the residual burning heat remaining on the surface.

I have already made a decision in my heart,
Chapter completed!
