Chapter 1034: Chapter 915: An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away_2

Before the third war, during the outbreak of a plague known as the Black Death, when the level of medical knowledge was extremely primitive, people came up with a method—quarantine the village, and wait for all the infected to die off, and then the virus’s route of transmission would also disappear.

At least this sudden outbreak was somewhat better than the zombie virus in science fiction movies; at least they didn’t have to worry about the infected coming back to life and attacking others as zombies.

"So these people still had to rely on the doctors that we trained when they were busy with meetings and receptions, they had already completed the preliminary investigation."

"What were the results?"

Song Lan had to admit, although Lu Xiang’s thoughts were unconventional, his actions were often very reliable.

"None of the Rebel Army’s officials above the rank of cadre were infected; most of the deceased were ordinary people."

If Ricochet’s survival had something to do with them, then the information provided by the Rebel Army provided them with important references, "Furthermore, after Rosali gathered her troops and card-playing partners, the infection surprisingly did not continue to spread within the camp."

"Wait a minute, who is Rosali?"

Lu Xiang’s gaze suddenly became much sharper.

That name, like the Witch of the Snow, Aishi, sounded like she was a well-endowed female officer in the Rebel Army.

"A card-playing friend, and also the champion of the first competition against evil organizations."

"Is her figure very good?"

"Yes... but that’s not the point!"

Lu Xiang frowned.

She thought that at least counted as one of the points—Dumb Bird had always been highly attractive to the opposite sex, and she had recently heard Ivan mention that the Iris Consortium’s Head Maid and the captain of the First Region’s Anti-Terrorism Mobile Squad were both infatuated with him.

"The important thing is, they may have found the key to immunity against this infectious disease."

"Psychic Abilities."

Lu Xiang decided to note Dumb Bird’s ability to attract attention in her notebook, but for now, it was better to handle the pressing matter.

After dealing with the threat of the infection, there would still be time to find a private interrogation room to capture Dumb Bird and thoroughly interrogate him.

She continued, "The Rebel Army currently has the highest proportion of psychics, with almost every officer being a Psychic."

This made her reconsider what the medical team leader had said on the hover car.

This infectious disease was as if it had a life of its own, its existence and the efficiency of its spread made it seem less like a natural disaster and more like a man-made calamity.

She looked up the "Sea of Souls."

The city that matched what the doctor mentioned the most was the Nineteenth District.

The time traced back to the tumultuous Dark Ages, when the map of the United Government still featured a port city along the coastline.

According to records, the Nineteenth District was once one of the United Government’s important port trade outlets facing the Covenant Nation, and it was also a major supplier of inland seafood.

Now, this pleasant climate port city had completely disappeared from the map of the United Government, turning into an uninhabited dead zone.

The "Sea of Souls" did not record the reason for the destruction of the Nineteenth District, but if the information inside was true, then the person who caused the destruction of the Nineteenth District was undoubtedly one of the most dangerous and vicious criminals of the Dark Ages.

So far, they had never encountered a "Shadow" that had destroyed an entire city.

What worried Lu Xiang more was that, judging by the speed of the outbreak and the fatality rate of the infection from the Oasis, its abilities seemed to have evolved again.

"This infectious disease, it spread through some sort of ability."

"About that..."

Song Lan lifted Lu Xiang’s arm, which was tightly wrapped in an isolation suit, and placed a small stone in her palm.

The moment she touched the stone, Lu Xiang’s heart violently thumped a few times; it was a power both strange and familiar.

"This is just one of the fragments, if there are a total of 150 fragments like this, then the bad guys have probably already obtained 149 of them."

This was very likely the reason for the enemy’s ability to evolve.

From destroying a city, it evolved to paralyzing an entire country in just one day, and this might still not be the limit of this virus.

The enemy was waiting for the real owner of this power to come to the Oasis, to personally perform this "Real Name System Unbinding" ceremony.

"But the more it is like this, the more we cannot panic."

"I see you really aren’t panicking, still having the nerve to stroll down the street and munch on an apple after meals."

"This is an important tip, the antibodies for the contagion are related to Spiritual Energy."

The contagion was undoubtedly fatal for ordinary people who had not awakened their Psychic Abilities, and staying with Psychics was just a desperate measure. The Rebel Army couldn’t stay in the Oasis forever, and the people here needed to find their own way out.

"You mean..."

"If we could find a way to make everyone a Psychic, the contagion would collapse by itself."

"Ah, that’s not easy."

Nothingness timely intervened in this conversation. Through these past days of interaction, he had already established... no, more accurately, he had restored the past understanding he had with Song Lan, "We would at least need to establish a Church."

The two started an alternating conversation:

"Right, Old Void, what was the ratio of Psychics at that time in the Church?"

"100%, although some crickets weren’t appealing and seemed to have no talent, they still could be called Psychics."

"But if we are to establish a Church, there must be a Deity acknowledged by everyone, right? Recently, the spread of the Salted Fish Philosophy had hit a bottleneck; the doctrine couldn’t be applied in this special period. People here believe in the God of Life."

...

Lu Xiang held her forehead, these two’s call and response had become somewhat exaggerated, she sighed and said, "Spill it, what crazy idea are you cooking up now?"

"To offer them suggestions."

"Suggestions?"

"The specifics of the suggestions aren’t important. What’s important is making them wholeheartedly believe that doing so can help them survive this epidemic. Don’t underestimate the guidance of a deity, even a small tip like ’an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ might help people through a disaster."

The conversation was interrupted by a sudden disturbance.

The disturbance originated from the entrance of the venue, where workers in isolation suits stood ready, but they dared not use excessive force against the man trying to enter.

The intruder wore a suit, his white shirt already stained red with blood.

A large portion of his face was necrotic, exposing his oral cavity through the decaying tissue, blood flowing down from the man’s eye sockets and ear holes.

He was infected with the virus, and it was already in the late stages.

The spokesperson from the Oasis medical department announced to the media before dying from the infection that all infected would die within an hour, and the only thing they could currently do was to isolate them.

As harsh as it was, it was the only way to limit the spread of the contagion.

"It’s the Oasis’s foreign affairs executor."

Lu Xiang recognized the man’s identity.

Not long ago, they had received a notification that the executor would be absent from today’s meeting, as he wished to spend his daughter’s last moments with her.

As expected, this also made him an infected.

"Let me in, I have important news..."

The man was gasping for breath, feeling his organs rapidly failing. The virus had spread throughout his body via the respiratory tract, and his skin under the suit was already horribly ulcerated, the pus and blood soaking through his clothes.

His daughter’s death had greatly affected him, pushing him to muster his last breath and rush to the venue.

He had an important message.

"I’m so sorry, I really am."

His vision gradually blurred, and as the security personnel obstructed him, he collapsed onto the cold floor, drained of strength.

With his dying eyes, he saw some illusions, time seemed to reverse back many years, he saw his daughter’s figure running past him, stopping not far ahead, waiting for him to catch up.

"The virus is... the virus is from the company, the Oasis Peace Company..."

As his vision was completely engulfed by darkness, he saw a figure approaching him.

The entire hall fell silent at that moment.

That person also wore a heavy isolation suit, stood still in front of him, bent down, and placed an object in front of him.

A red apple.

The color was bright, and there were still water droplets on it.

"Eat this, it should make you feel better."
