Three special carriages bearing the G&D logo, for internal use only within the organization, were parked outside the hall.
The reason why it is special is that the leather content of the entire carriage reaches more than 10%.
Through a special process within the organization, ebony, elm, ash, and wax are combined with bark to create a top-grade wood that can isolate disease and conceal odor.
Such carriages are often used for important long-distance transportation. Many gentlemen who push the limits of human endurance also ride in such carriages, which saves them a lot of trouble along the way.
Yi Chen and the other two got on one of the cars at random.
The interior space of the carriage is also quite spacious, with upper and lower beds designed like a "four-person bedroom" with a private bathroom.
The wardrobe that supports the bunk beds is used to store various long-term food and bottled water.
It even has a small smart refrigerator, French refrigeration, which contains some raw meat and alcohol for pets.
“The environment is really nice. I feel like I can stay here for a week.”
When Yi Chen was admiring the excellent conditions of the carriage,
Reagan had already taken out several packages of food and chilled wine, and instantly entered fat house mode. It even felt like his belly was bigger than when they met two days ago.
Due to the boring life in the power station and the failure of his neurological research, Reagan gradually became a fat house.
Only by eating delicious and sufficient food will his brain secrete dopamine, allowing him to persist in his research.
A simple allocation of beds.
Yi Chen and Reagan were both on the lower bunk, and Jin slept on the upper bunk where Yi Chen was.
As the carriage drove out of the Zion gate, there was a knocking sound on the locked front window.
The elderly coachman wrapped in a coat handed in a bag of confidential documents, making a hoarse sound from his mouth with a pipe in his mouth.
“This trip will be divided into two parts.
The first half will take us three days to reach the stop on the way - the town of Yalsto, where you will conduct the reorganization and route planning before the event."
After mechanically conveying the message, the driver turned to the front like a zombie and continued to control the carriage.
"Thanks."
Although Yi Chen was well aware of the 'driver's' status, he was still grateful for the response.
From the books, we learned that "coach driver" is a special and low-level gentleman profession. Some gentlemen are never able to break through the human limits, and as they get older, their hope of breaking through is almost zero.
Moreover, they could not find corresponding jobs in Zion with their abilities, so they had no choice but to become coachmen in order to continue living.
Because I have been outside for many years, crossing various gray areas,
Some older drivers will gradually become numb in the process, with their bodies and minds completely tied to the carriage until they die.
certainly.
Drivers who have devoted their lives to the organization will have the opportunity to be buried in the cemetery if they die within the organization's sphere of influence. If they are lucky, they can start a new life in a different way.
…
Yi Chen returned to the bed and opened the document bag.
Jin, who was lying on the upper bunk, half of his body was stretched out, and he bent down at 90 degrees to watch together.
Reagan, who was sucking the grease from his fingers, also came over with a bag of snacks.
≮Relic Event (New)≯
1. Location of the incident:
The-Grail-Mountains, also known as the Holy Grail Mountains, are named for their cup-like shape and are regarded as holy mountains by many people.
2. Event Summary:
The nearest base of the organization to the destination, and also the stopover for this incident, is the town of Yalstro. There are always gentleman patrols patrolling the Holy Grail Mountain.
Four years ago, a small area of ash spread was first discovered in the mountains. After a detailed investigation, it was confirmed to be a natural ash area that could not be eradicated. The only thing we could do was to block the mountain as much as possible to slow down the expansion of the ash area.
One month ago,
As the gray area's expansion gradually became uncontrollable, it has spread to an area within five kilometers at the foot of the mountain.
It has been determined that there are at least three "rooted pathogens" that are growing wildly in the gray area. If left unchecked, open source patients may be born.
The purge and investigation team arranged by the organization rushed to the destination as soon as possible. During the mission, they accidentally discovered a passage hidden inside the mountain, so they interrupted the mission and reported the situation to the organization.
3. Gray zone diseases
The symptoms corresponding to the three root pathogens are as follows:
1. Black pus
Type: Generalized physical infection (affects all matter except inorganic matter)
Origin and Introduction: It broke out in the large village of Mud Village, which is several kilometers away at the foot of the Holy Grail Mountain.
The infected will grow black tumors on their flesh. They are afraid of light and are accustomed to being active at night. They like to sink their bodies into the mud to accelerate the spread of pus and infect other organisms.
Black tumors will gradually cover the individual's head, torso, and arms during this process.
When it completely replaces the upper body, it turns into a sick person.
The lower body retains the double-leg structure.
The area above the waist and abdomen is replaced by giant black pus, which is highly variable and threatening, but still afraid of light and high temperature.
②. Polyphthalmia
Type: Mind infection (only affects conscious creatures)
Origin and Introduction: A group of displaced pilgrims from different regions who regard Mount Greyrel as a holy mountain and the final destination of their lives.
They firmly believe that as long as they can reach the top of the mountain, they can reach the other side of their dreams, a paradise without disease.
The pilgrims have a firm willpower different from that of ordinary people. They pass through the jungle at the foot of the mountain affected by graying and successfully embark on the steep mountain road to the summit.
However, the mountain had already been severely damaged by the gray zone, and its structure was complex and covered with fog, causing the pilgrims to be completely lost and unable to find the correct way to the summit.
They regard the complex mountain roads as the ultimate test and seeing themselves getting lost as a sign of lack of piety.
In order to find the only correct path, the pilgrims began to eat "eyeballs" indiscriminately, whether they were diseased animals in the mountains, their companions, or themselves.
When a certain number is reached, the disease becomes complete and an "eye of aggregation" grows between the eyebrows.
3. Sepsis
Type: Limited flesh infection (only effective on humans)
Source and Introduction: For some reason, Baron Francis spent a huge amount of money to build a private residence at the foot of Mount Greyrell.
When the gray area spread between the mountains, the gentlemen in the organization proposed to escort the Baron and his family away, but were rejected.
No one has ever left the mansion, and under the cover of the gray area, special diseases slowly occurred. Even the woods around the mansion began to ooze blood similar to that of the human body.
Occasionally, you can see some zombies without skin structure and constantly dripping blood moving around the periphery of the mansion.
*Detailed information on the above three types of illnesses will be provided by the gentlemen stationed at the en route station, the town of Yalstó, and tasks will be assigned to different teams and mountaineering routes will be arranged.
4. Channel information
*This information is provided by channel monitors.
Exploration degree: 0% (no conscious creature has ever passed through the channel)
Stability: Very high (no channel collapse, pathogenic enhancement, and other dangerous situations)
Depth: Shallow (will lead to the shallowest surface of the Old World where the danger is the least)
…
After reading the basic information of the incident, everyone had their own thoughts.
Reagan returned to his bed, his mouth moving slightly but making no sound, as if he was communicating information about the incident with his 'girlfriend'.
Jin didn't care at all and just fell on the bed and went to sleep.
Yi Chen seemed to have thought of something. He opened the car window and looked at the sky which was already in the evening. There was no trace of the moon in the hazy clouds.
Thanks to the book friend, Overwhelmed Writer, for the alliance sacrifice!
