Si Xu brought a small team from Comprehensive Team 7 on this trip, which, including Si Xu and Lin Jiu, made up exactly 12 people.
After they arrived in Country F by plane, someone was already waiting for them at the airport and took them directly to the outskirts of the small town where they came from. There was a temporary base there, which was convenient for monitoring the town and receiving people with special abilities from various countries.
The town has been surrounded by the army. The man in charge of this incident is Walton Croft, a very strong middle-aged man.
As soon as they got out of the car, Krof came out, shook hands with Sisu first, and led them to the base.
Si Xu asked Krof in Interlingua, "How is the situation of the police?"
Croft: "More than a dozen people have died in their sleep, and the number is still increasing."
Si Xu: "What did the doctor say? Is it really about sleeping?"
Croft: "They are sleeping, but they cannot be awakened. They are not in any pain, as if they are in a wonderful dream."
The group entered the temporary base, where quite a few people were already standing.
Lin Jiu saw a group of Asian men with black hair and black eyes standing in the base. Their eyes were originally on Si Xu, but when they saw Lin Jiu, they obviously paused.
There was a man who was obviously dressed up carefully and whispered something to his companions. His eyes drifted towards Lin Jiu from time to time, which made Lin Jiu wonder if he was saying something bad about him.
Lin Jiu has very good hearing. He can hear, but he can't understand.
The well-dressed man came over, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes and a smile on his face, and said something to Lin Jiu, but Lin Jiu didn't understand.
Si Xu, who was talking to Krof, understood it. He looked at the man who was wearing heavy makeup.
Croft noticed that the atmosphere between them was a little strange and introduced them to each other in Interlingua.
Lin Jiu could understand Interlingua and knew that they were from country H. Even without an introduction, Lin Jiu could tell. He could not understand the language of country H, but he could distinguish the languages.
The leader of the H country team, Jin Shengshu, came over, shook hands with Si Xu, and spoke the language of the H country.
Si Xu said calmly: "This is a serious matter. It won't be a bad thing to be cautious."
Si Xu speaks the language of country Z.
Jin Shengshu was stunned. Just now, when Cui Xingcheng was talking to the long-haired young man, the leader of country Z obviously understood. He thought Si Xu would speak to him in country H, but he didn't expect that the other party would speak country Z directly.
Si Xu could understand h Mandarin, but Jin Shengshu could not understand z Mandarin. He did not show his embarrassment and silently switched to the international language.
"Your players look familiar to me."
While Jin Shengshu was speaking, he glanced at Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu was wearing a mask, but Si Xu was not.
Si Xu also replied in International Language, "It's inevitable that a public figure will look familiar to you."
Jin Shengshu observed Si Xu, but could not see anything.
I don't know if he is truly open-minded or if he hides it too well.
When the people from country H saw Lin Jiu's face, they thought he looked like the wanted mermaid. Whether it was his body shape, the way he wore a mask, or his long hair, they were all similar. The only difference was his eye color. Of course, changing eye color is actually very simple. A pair of cosmetic contact lenses is enough.
Si Xu didn't say much to Jin Shengshu and continued to ask Krof the questions he had.
The people with abilities in country h are observing them, while the people with abilities in country z are open and honest, letting them watch.
The person they observed the most was Lin Jiu, their gazes were not reserved and their looks were upright.
Croft soon came out to greet people with special abilities from other countries.
Lin Jiu walked up to Si Xu and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Is there any news?"
Si Xu shook his head. "Nothing has been found so far. The sleeper's blood test is normal, with no signs of poisoning. It looks like natural sleep."
No matter how much it resembles natural sleep, it is not a normal sleep. No one can be awakened from normal sleep, and no one can die in their sleep.
If the problem could be solved so easily, country F would not seek help from other countries.
Croft soon brought in another group of people. They were Westerners and were introduced by Croft as a team of people with special abilities from Country M. Not only did they come, they also brought advanced testing equipment.
As soon as the M country team arrived, they asked to go into the town to check. Croft had the same intention, and responded that the F country had already arrived, so they could indeed go into the town to check.
Not everyone has to go in. Each country can choose which one to go in with. The small town is not safe, and the situation is serious now. If someone gets infected and falls into a coma, no one can do anything about it. Whether to go in or not is purely voluntary.
Si Xu will definitely go in, and Lin Jiu will follow him. On their side, only the two of them will go in.
Country H made three advances.
Other countries also sent two or three teams to try their best to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Lin Jiu and Si Xu put on isolation suits and gas masks, got on the off-road vehicle, and headed towards the town.
This small town was in a state of chaos. It all collapsed overnight. Whether it was toxins or infectious diseases, it was very terrifying.
An SUV stopped in front of a house, and everyone got out of the car and followed Krov into the house.
Five people were lying side by side on the thick carpet, all covered with quilts. They were probably placed like this for easy observation.
Five people, an old couple, a young couple, and a one-year-old boy, the whole family of five lay here.
The quilt was lifted, and someone checked the exposed skin, hoping to find something.
The U.S. government took their blood samples and prepared to retest them. Even if they had done a blood test before and found no problems, they would check again. Their distrust was very obvious. They carefully examined the bodies of the comatose people and found that their skin elasticity was healthy and their skin color was normal. They really looked like they were asleep, and there was no problem.
A female user with special abilities who came from country H squatted down and held the child's hand. A soft light was transmitted from the user's hand to the child.
The people around were very surprised and started to speculate whether this female ability user had healing abilities.
Lin Jiu was also very surprised. To this day, he had never seen anyone with healing abilities. Could it be that such an ability really existed
Si Xu was observing the five unconscious people, and only Lin Jiu was standing by and watching.
In fact, he was not idle either. He was bargaining with the system.
Lin Jiu: I will give you 3 magic points at most. Find out the reason for me.
Can you be more stingy? I won't do it with 3 mana points.
The system doesn’t dare to share its magic value with the male god, and it can’t argue with Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu: They are just ordinary people, not even those with special abilities. 3 points of magic value are enough, don't be ungrateful.
5 points. Give me 5 points and I will check it for you.
Lin·Soon to Become a Rich Man·Jiu: I can give you 5 points, but you must find out the reasons.
Don't look down on the system. Now that you're here, are you afraid that I can't find the problem
Lin Jiu: Hurry up.
Lin Jiu was just waiting for the result when he heard a person next to him greet him in Interlingua with a heavy accent.
"Hello, I'm Cui Cheng, may I know your name?"
Lin Jiu was wearing a gas mask and could see the other person's eyes. Lin Jiu wondered how he could still recognize him.
The point is, doesn't he know how to speak Interlingua? He was so arrogant before, did he think that Mandarin is world-famous and everyone can speak it
Country H attacked first. Although the target was not Lin Jiu, they sent fishing boats to salvage, so the target was definitely him. Later, they publicly accused him of controlling a giant sea monster to create a tsunami that flooded the coastal city. Lin Jiu had no good face for them at all.
Lin Jiu: “No.”
Cui Cheng was stunned. He never expected that the other party would not even want to reveal his name.
Cui Cheng was not discouraged and continued in a heavily accented International Language: "You are very beautiful, with a great figure and beautiful hair."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: "Are you X-ray vision? Do you know what I look like without taking off my mask?"
Cui Cheng: “…”
Lin Jiu was like a hedgehog, with thorns all over his body, and he almost had the words "Don't talk to me" stuck on his forehead.
Cui Cheng was silent for a moment, then he spoke again with great strength in his heart, "Don't you know me?"
Lin Jiu stared at Si Xu. The person who was suspected to have healing abilities was talking to Si Xu.
Lin Jiu answered Cui Xincheng absentmindedly, "I don't know him."
Cui Cheng: “…”
Cui Xincheng said firmly: "I am an artist, I have a lot of fans, do you really not know me?"
Lin Jiu: “I don’t know him.”
After Lin Jiu finished speaking, he walked towards Si Xu and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
The female ability user who was talking to Si Xu ignored the whole audience and glanced at Lin Jiu. She said something in Mandarin to Si Xu and turned to the other side.
Si Xu said: "When Han Yajing transfers energy, it will be absorbed by the sleeper. Her ability has a healing effect, but the child did not wake up. It may be that her strength is not enough. If there is enough energy, perhaps the child can be saved."
Lin Jiu stared at him, "Does this count as evidence of my cheating?"
Si Xu: “…”
Si Xu was helpless, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows. "Such an important discovery, she didn't keep it secret and didn't tell herself, why would she tell you?"
Si Xu held Lin Jiu's hand and said, "Information exchange."
Han Yajing first asked Si Xu if he had any news. Si Xu casually asked her if he had any news. Unexpectedly, Han Yajing really told him her news. Si Xu did not hide it and also told him her news.
In fact, these developments will eventually be reported to Croft, and we will work together to find solutions, so there is no harm in speaking them out in advance.
Lin Jiu: "Did you find out?"
Si Xu: "Smell, they all have a fishy smell."
Lin Jiu sniffed, but did not smell the fishy smell that Si Xu had described.
Si Xu: "It's very light, and there's a faint fishy smell when you get close."
That's definitely not the smell of fish.
Lin Jiu squatted down, leaned over and smelled the scent of the sleeping person, but smelled nothing. Lin Jiu wanted to pick up a dead arm and smell it closer, but the system suddenly made a sound.
You'd better not touch them.
Lin Jiu paused, pretending to be calm and withdrew his hand.
Lin Jiu: Did you find out
The problem is a bit big. You can't solve it now. Let's go quickly. If it's too late, we may not be able to leave.
Lin Jiu immediately became alert: What’s going on
These guys are so daring, they touched something they shouldn't have touched, and they killed themselves, and no one can save them...
Lin Jiu: Stop talking so much and get to the point.
They ate the Seven-Star Blue Devil Egg.
Lin Jiu:!!!
Lin Jiu: !!!!!!!!!
Lin Jiu:! ! ! ! ! ! !
Lin Jiu's mind was filled with a big "wow!", and no words could describe his shock at the moment.
How on earth did they get the Seven-Star Blue Devil Egg? !
Si Xu keenly noticed that Lin Jiu was in a bad mood.
The Seven-Star Blue Devil Egg will emit a unique pheromone. If the egg is intact, the pheromone will be emitted very slowly. Once the egg is broken, it will be a pheromone explosion. The human body is not strong enough to resist the pheromones of the Seven-Star Blue Devil Egg and will fall into a deep sleep. This is actually a symptom of poisoning... These are not the main points. The main point is that the Seven-Star Blue Devil will chase you following the smell of the pheromone. Anyone with the smell of pheromones on their body will be hunted down, so you'd better stay away from it.
Lin Jiu stood up in a flash and took several steps back before stopping.
Everyone looked at him strangely.
Lin Jiu covered his chest. Was he trying to scare him to death? Being chased by a terrifying seven-star sea demon, that scene was simply unbearable to imagine!
Si Xu asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Lin Jiu grabbed Si Xu's hand and asked in a low voice: "Did you run into them just now?"
Si Xu: “No.”
Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, it's all right.
Lin Jiu asked the system to tell Si Xu the news. He didn't know what to do. If the Seven-Star Sea Demon really chased after him, not to mention this small town, everyone here would be doomed.
After hearing the system's retelling, Si Xu's whole body became gloomy.
He never thought that the truth would be this.
They were lucky that such a huge seven-star sea devil existed in the high seas and would not come ashore. If it did, it would be a hellish disaster. Unexpectedly, someone actually brought the eggs of the seven-star sea devil ashore, and they might have been eaten!
The system enabled information sharing so that Lin Jiu and Si Xu could receive it.
There's good news, do you want to hear it
Lin Jiu said without hesitation: Tell me quickly!
During the spawning period, the Seven-Star Blue Devil will not easily leave the vicinity of the eggs. They will assign other sea monsters to bring the eggs back. Once the eggs are gone, anyone with the pheromones of the eggs on their bodies will be attacked.
Lin Jiu: …
How is this good news?!
Just thinking about the sea areas with the highest radiation and those giant sea monsters makes my scalp tingle.
You'd better hope that the eggs haven't hatched yet and the Seven-Star Blue Devil is restrained, otherwise the Seven-Star Blue Devil and other giant sea monsters are definitely not a threat of the same level.
Lin Jiu: I’m not comforted at all!
Therefore, I advise you to take your animals away immediately, and leave here immediately before you are contaminated by the pheromone smell, and don't cause trouble for your country. The smell of pheromones is not easy to remove, and even people with special abilities cannot smell it. Only the demons with a strong sense of smell can smell it a little.
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu looked at Si Xu.
It's easy to imagine what would happen here if they left quietly like this.
With tens of thousands of lives at stake, could they really just sit there and do nothing
Si Xu obviously couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Besides, they had already come here and accepted Country F's request for help. If they did nothing and brought the people back home, and this place was destroyed, with so many lives lost, they would definitely be condemned.
In addition to the immediate crisis, what Si Xu is most concerned about is the number of Seven-Star Sea Devil Eggs.
Si Xu asked in his mind: How many eggs can the Seven-Star Blue Devil lay at a time
According to conservative estimates, there are at least 100,000 of them.
Si Xu closed his eyes tightly, not daring to imagine what would happen if these eggs grew into little blue demons and then grew into seven-star sea demons.
Lin Jiu's heart sank.
Since the Seven-Star Blue Devil is female, if she can lay eggs this time, she can lay eggs the next time. Isn't the Earth plane doomed
Lin Jiu couldn't keep calm any longer. "What, what should I do?"
Si Xu asked the system: Are we contaminated with the smell of pheromones
The whole town is filled with the pheromone smell of the Seven-Star Blue Demon Eggs. You will definitely be contaminated if you are in it, but the smell is not strong and there is protection. You can find something in the Demon Sea Plane to get rid of it.
In other words, if they do not get rid of the smell of pheromones, they may bring disaster back home once they return.
The system started nagging again.
This is a tragic lesson, my friend, you must remember it well, little blue demons can be killed, but the seven-star blue demon eggs must never be touched!
Croft came over and asked, "Do you have any news?"
Lin Jiu kept silent. Although he could understand Interlingua, he didn't speak it very well.
Si Xu was also thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him. It was obvious that the people in this town could not leave. Even those who had been to the town could not go out casually. They were all contaminated with the pheromone scent of the Seven-Star Blue Devil Eggs. If they left rashly and spread the pheromone to others, they might be poisoned.
Si Xu said: "Mr. Croft, please issue an order to block this town immediately. Anyone who has been to this town cannot leave, lest the smell here spreads."
Krov grasped the point, "Are you talking about the taste? What is the taste specifically?"
Si Xu said solemnly, "It's a smell that can attract giant sea monsters."
Croft was very surprised. "Are you sure? But I don't smell anything."
Si Xu: "This is a pheromone smell that only sea monsters can detect. We humans can't smell it, and we may not be able to detect it. I can only detect it because of my awakened ability. Please believe me."
Si Xu cannot expose Lin Jiu, let alone the existence of the system, so he cannot take everything on himself.
Croft hesitated. "Do you have any evidence to prove the existence of this pheromone?"
If only one person can smell it, it will be difficult to convince others.
The person with special abilities from Country M collected the blood sample and picked up the box, preparing to go back home.
Oh wow, the suicide squad starts again, the pheromone smell in the blood sample is very strong.
Si Xu suddenly thought of a question, "I heard that more than ten people had died before, where are their bodies?"
Croft: "In the autopsy room of the temporary base."
Very good, the first ones to die must be the ones who were most poisoned. They must have eaten the Seven-Star Blue Devil Eggs. There is no hope. Let’s go back.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they did not carry the body out and kept it here, which was considered very cautious.
Si Xu said: "People who have passed through this town, do you want to leave here? If the pheromone smell here spreads outside, it will attract giant sea monsters. It would be best to nip the source in the bud here."
Krov was silent for a long time before he said, "Is it not possible even with an isolation suit and a gas mask?"
Si Xu shook his head, "Probably not."
Si Xu had already anticipated that someone must have left this place, otherwise Krov would not have asked this question.
This is indeed the case. After the people outside entered the town and fell asleep, the people who came in wore isolation suits and gas masks. They thought it was safe. Since there was no sleep, there should be no disease. They took blood samples and sent them to more authoritative institutions for testing and research.
It is said that the earth is a village. If you don't intervene, your own village will be destroyed. If you stay on the earth, you can't escape this threat.
The system may not understand, but Si Xu and Lin Jiu will understand.
