"The number of people infected with Star Stone disease has reached 52,636. Please do not get close to those infected with Star Stone disease."
"Starstone disease is highly contagious. The infected have obvious physical signs and behave differently from normal people. Please avoid the infected immediately and inform the nearest 'scavenger'. We will have someone to deal with it."
On all the streets of Canglong City, whether in the inner city or the slums, every household had their doors and windows closed.
Apart from the infected people, there are not many normal people still wandering on the streets.
“Has the source of infection been identified?”
On a tall building, the "Tyrant" asked the people around him.
"It has been determined that the source of infection is the project's research leader. He used his special position to concentrate a bottle of Starstone virus and then infected a small area of the city."
"Star Stone Disease... Why does Star Stone make people sick?" Tyrant murmured, "Is Star Stone Technology really a scam? Even Star Stone itself is a scam?"
The scene was silent, and from time to time the frantic sounds of the infected could be heard on the street.
The "Tyrant" was silent because it seemed that he was thinking about something, and the men around him were silent because they did not dare to disturb his thinking.
"Hey, isn't that strange? The Star Stone was discovered to be able to speed up human cultivation when the progress of human cultivation was slow and human civilization was threatened by the tide of ferocious beasts."
"Then the Star Stone was used as a cultivation resource for a thousand years. During this period, no one wanted to develop other uses for the Star Stone. It seemed that the Star Stone should be used as a cultivation resource by warriors and people with special abilities. If it continues on this trajectory, shouldn't it become a cultivation civilization?"
"How did Star Stone Technology suddenly emerge? Star Stone Technology has made humans even more dependent on Star Stone. Even ordinary people who don't know martial arts or have special powers will come into contact with Star Stone for a long time."
"It seems that there is a mysterious hand that is planning all this, making humans more and more dependent on the polluted star stone."
147. We are outside the rules! We will become unfortunate! 4k
The attendant next to him looked at the "tyrant" in confusion, as if wondering what his own ruler was talking about. However, he moved his lips a little, but ultimately did not ask because he did not dare.
The followers had no idea what the "tyrant" was saying, nor did they know what these words meant, but Gu Ran, who was "immersively watching the movie" nearby, understood the meaning of these words.
"I just said it casually, you don't have to take it seriously." Tyrant smiled gently, "Get ready to start completely eliminating the infected."
The large number of infected people has brought great harm to the main city of Canglong City, and the disease of Starstone Disease has also been known to many people for the first time.
The streets are full of infected people who have fallen into madness and lost their minds. Some of them are severely deformed and look like monsters. Some of them are still intact like normal people, but their eyes are bloodshot and blood is oozing from their pores, staining their bodies red, like a bloody man.
They frantically searched for other people, with all kinds of extreme emotions spreading and growing in their hearts.
As long as a "spark" is ignited, it will "explode" immediately and attack the target frantically.
This "spark" may be a physical collision, a friction of eyes, or even just one-sided dislike, and then a fight may break out.
Because most of the residents of Canglong City had already returned to their homes with their doors and windows closed, the infected people were confused for a moment as to why there were so few pedestrians on the streets.
Then, they saw each other.
Based on the above reasons, fighting broke out among the infected.
The infected people have not formed a sense of group identity. Even when they have lost their sanity, they have mostly lost their ability to think and are unable to form a collective consciousness such as "we are all infected."
Therefore, the infected people fight with all their might. Even if their bodies are completely deformed and missing various parts, they will not give up and continue fighting.
The scene was extremely bloody at one point.
And on every tall building, there are countless pairs of eyes watching these infected people.
Most of them are "scavengers" participating in this operation to eliminate the infected. They are just waiting for the battle on the ground to come to an end, and then they will go down to clean up and completely "clean up" these infected people.
Although many notices have been issued for everyone to stay at home and not go out, accidents still happened as expected and there are still people on the streets.
A pretty girl was panicking as she looked for cover on the street to avoid the infected people who were almost monsters. Although she looked scared, she had no intention of finding a place to hide and then stop moving. Instead, she kept moving in a certain direction with determination.
But she was obviously just an ordinary girl, without any fluctuation of spiritual energy, which meant she had no power at all.
Soon, the infected people noticed her.
"Humph, how can you be so beautiful? Kill you! Kill you!"
A woman with blood oozing from her face yelled and rushed towards the girl.
The beautiful girl was startled and stood up and ran away immediately.
The woman didn't notice the stone pillar under her feet and tripped to the ground. Her head hit the ground hard, leaving a big bloody wound.
But the woman seemed not to be injured at all. She got up from the ground in an instant and continued to chase the girl.
"Kill you! Kill you! Why are you all prettier than me?!"
The words the woman was muttering began to become unclear.
Because of this delay, the beautiful girl ran a little further away, but her running attracted the attention of other infected people.
Many other infected people also jumped out and chased after the beautiful girl.
There may be no special reason why they chased that beautiful girl. They may just think it will be fun to kill her if so many people are chasing her.
The infected people's bodies became deformed and their mental states also changed.
More and more infected people participated in the chase, and the woman who had started the chase stopped chasing instead. Her attention was attracted by other things and her hatred was diverted.
But there were still many other infected people chasing after them, and soon the beautiful girl was about to be caught up.
If you are caught up, there is no doubt that you will be brutally killed by these infected people, and there may not even be an intact body left.
"Sister, I'm leaving first."
The beautiful girl was indeed an ordinary person. After a while, she was out of breath and her speed had begun to slow down.
Finally, she closed her eyes in despair.
"Bang!"
Suddenly a loud noise made the beautiful girl, who had closed her eyes in despair, open her eyes.
The infected people who were originally chasing her were swept away by a huge invisible broom and all crashed into the wall.
"Okay, you can go now."
A gentle voice came into the beautiful girl's ears.
Her eyes were immediately filled with surprise, sparkling with beautiful brilliance like gems.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
The beautiful girl named the person who saved her without even a pause.
"No, let's leave here quickly, it will be more dangerous here later." The voice continued.
"Your Excellency... My sister has a high fever. I need to go to the pharmacy to buy her medicine. If she doesn't have the medicine, she might die!"
The beautiful girl pleaded, "Sir, please send me to the nearest pharmacy. You must have a solution, right?!"
There has always been a legend in Canglong City that the ruler who guards Canglong City is like a god, and the god-like ruler will occasionally turn his eyes to ordinary people in trouble, listen to their requests and help them realize their wishes.
The beautiful girl had heard of this legend, and she would never forget the gentle and mellow voice of the ruler, so she recognized it immediately when she heard it and was very happy.
She received the attention of the god-like ruler.
"Please tell me the exact coordinates of the location. If you don't know how to express it in a standard way, you can also tell me the famous landmarks around you, the location of the pharmacy you want to go to, and the location of your home."
The beautiful girl immediately told the location of the pharmacy and her home address that she knew.
Then, the beautiful girl saw a space door opening in front of her, and then the space door wrapped her.
When the beautiful girl stood firm again and felt her surroundings again, she was surprised to find that she had arrived at the pharmacy she wanted to go to.
There was no one in the pharmacy. After a while, the beautiful girl found the medicine she wanted to buy, and then put enough money into the cashier drawer of the pharmacy.
When she finished doing this, she found another space portal appeared in front of her.
Having had the experience once, she walked in without hesitation.
When she came out of the space portal again, stood firm and felt the environment, she found that she was back home.
"Thank you... Your Excellency!"
Looking at the medicine in her hand and her sister who was lying on the bed dazedly calling "sister", the beautiful girl murmured with tears in her eyes.
Gu Ran looked at this scene and fell into deep thought.
"Telekinesis, spatial ability, I guess his martial arts skills are not weak either. He knows everything I can do, or should I say, I know everything he can do?"
The ability of telekinesis to blend into the surrounding environment allows people to clearly perceive the area, and the ability of telekinesis like an "invisible hand" can attack the target enemy seemingly silently. Coupled with the ability to use spatial powers, the "Tyrant" can really fulfill the wish of the beautiful girl as easily as a god.
It’s just that the “tyrant” doesn’t behave like a “tyrant” at all. Instead, he behaves like a benevolent true God who fulfills the wishes of his believers.
So why did he leave behind a reputation as a "tyrant" in later generations
And he and I are so similar, or I and he are so similar...
In an instant, many thoughts and speculations flashed through Gu Ran's mind, but due to the lack of relevant substantive evidence, he could not be sure.
Although only this scene was "simulated" for him to watch, Gu Ran believed that with the other party's mental strength, he would definitely be able to help innocent people who had not escaped in other places in the infected area, and he would do so.
—This is how he infers the other person from himself.
The cleanup operation began soon.
Although these infected people have become crazy, lost their minds, are full of desire to attack, their strength has increased several times, and they are not afraid of being injured, but they are still difficult to match in the face of organized and planned clearing operations - especially when there is a god-like existence in the clearing operations, all the infected people are slowly eliminated.
When the last out-of-control infected person was eliminated and the ruling Lord announced the successful completion of the operation, all the "scavenger" teams cheered with joy.
At the same time, ordinary residents who had been secretly observing the battlefield also cheered.
