Chapter 151 Genetic Pollution
Feng Ling was just about to see who had said that when he suddenly felt his arm tighten.
Looking down——
It was Huangfu Miaomiao who hugged her arms tightly, her eyes revealing panic and anxiety.
Feng Ling remembered that Huangfu Miaomiao was very sensitive to malice. Perhaps at this moment, the hunters' malice towards the alien species made Huangfu Miaomiao feel panic.
But then again, such a tragic scene can easily arouse bloodiness and fighting spirit. Any normal person would be moved.
She observed along the way and found that the patients here mainly showed two symptoms. One was unnatural twisting and deformation of the limbs, and the other was the growth of moss similar to ice crystals in the eyes, mouth, nose and other parts.
This shows that there are creatures with these characteristics living in the maze.
It’s really cruel to think about it.
Humans’ research on alien species has lasted only half a year, and the research on mazes has been even shorter, perhaps only two or three months.
Faced with such genetic pollution diseases, I am afraid there is no cure.
Feng Ling whispered to Huangfu Miaomiao beside him: "Will it be effective if we give them your healing injections?"
Huangfu Miaomiao shook her head. "The principle of the medicine in the injection is to stimulate cell activity to achieve a rapid recovery effect, but their condition is a genetic mutation..."
The body has mutated due to pollution, which cannot be considered "illness" and therefore cannot be treated.
Feng Ling glanced at the elderly people and children on the hospital beds, retracted his gaze, and silently followed the team through the makeshift medical area.
Everyone was taken to a township primary school.
The residents of the entire town were relocated to other places for emergency shelter, the school was emptied, and the classrooms were converted into dormitories with only a few folding beds. The conditions were very simple.
But having just witnessed the harsh environment in the medical area, none of the hunters complained about such accommodation conditions.
Feng Ling felt that the person who arranged for them to come here knew a little about psychology.
She stopped a staff member in protective clothing and pointed at the cat spider and cat owl on the playground. "I have two contaminated bodies. It's not convenient for them to live in the classroom. Can I set up a tent on the playground? I brought my own tent."
"Yes," the staff nodded, "You can use the school's venues and facilities at will. You can ask for anything you want. But you can probably tell me that this place is too remote and the conditions are limited. We may not be able to meet some of your needs."
After the staff member finished speaking, he turned around and went to other classrooms, shouting loudly in each classroom: "The desks and chairs are in the last classroom at the end of the corridor! The folding beds, bedding and pillows are in the sports equipment room! Someone will deliver the thermos and water cups in a while. It is inconvenient for us to carry large items in our protective clothing. I hope everyone understands!"
The hunters present were all quite reasonable.
Someone said, "It's okay, let's just make do with it for now. We're going to enter the contaminated area soon anyway, so we don't need to be too picky about where we rest."
Another person chimed in, "Yeah, we've rested enough when we need to rest on the train. When are we going to enter the contaminated area?"
The staff member said loudly: "There will be another group of hunters coming at noon, and we will make arrangements then!"
They were the first group of hunters to arrive here, and another group of hunters set out from Yanjing City.
Feng Ling took out his cell phone and checked the location.
The mobile phone map shows that this is a place called Heishan Town, which is the town closest to the primeval forest.
Precisely because it is remote enough and has a sparse population, it has low popularity on the Internet.
Netizens only know that the Supervision Bureau conducted an inspection of the Northern Labyrinth and the inspection was successfully completed. As for the specific impact of the labyrinth on the surrounding environment, no one knows. Even if someone knows, it is estimated that the relevant information will be suppressed to avoid causing panic.
Feng Ling set up the tent, and then went to the classroom with Huangfu Miaomiao to move tables and chairs.
Tables and chairs are placed next to the tent, and food and water can be placed on them for easy access.
Some hunters were not used to living with others, so they followed Feng Ling's example and set up tents on the playground.
Everybody was busy and it looked peaceful and quiet, but in fact the hunter forum had already exploded.
【Xu Yiming: Damn! Didn’t the news say that the operation was a complete success?! How can this be called a success?! There are at least a hundred patients in that broken hospital, and we don’t know how many died!】
[Yu Xing: There was no mention of this in the news, it was obviously suppressed intentionally.]
[Li Sona: It should be for stability. This is different from ordinary disasters. Once the situation is made public, it will only cause panic. Moreover, the purpose of the expedition team is to capture data on the maze. As long as the goal is achieved, it is not wrong to say that the operation is successful.]
[Liang Jiaqin: Have you arrived yet? I'm still on the train. They said they won't arrive until noon. It's really worrying.]
[Zhu Yu: How did the pollution come about? Doesn't anyone find it strange? I came from Yuquan City. After the maze in Sanqing Mountain was broken, the residents nearby continued to live as usual. Why is it so miserable here?]
Feng Ling was browsing the forum and was slightly stunned when he saw a hunter from Yuquan City.
She noticed the information barrier.
These people had just joined the Hunter Alliance and had very limited knowledge of alien species and mazes. In fact, if she had not met Li Qing by chance, she would probably be as confused as they were now.
Feng Ling sat in the tent and thought for a while, then turned to Li Qing beside him and said, "Send me the address of the maze where the administrator died."
Li Qing replied strictly: "To be precise, the coordinates I received are the location when the administrator died, not the location of the maze."
"It's almost the same. The administrator will only move around in the maze area, just like you have never left Sanqing Mountain." Feng Ling urged, "Send it to me quickly. We agreed to cooperate, so you have to show your attitude."
Li Qing: “…………”
He was silent for a moment, then replied, "Give me some time. I need to convert the coordinate information given by the system into the map coordinates of you humans."
Feng Ling continued to read the forum.
No one has ever explained why the pollution spread.
It shouldn't be...
At least Su Yuqing knew about the maze manager, and given his personality, he would have reported it to his superiors long ago.
By the way, although the hunter forum on this mobile phone is also provided for use by inspectors, it is rare to see inspectors speak. Maybe there is some taboo?
Feng Ling thought: The inspector has taboos, but I don’t.
So she created a new post in the forum, preparing to explain the reason for the spread.
I just typed a facial expression and remembered that the Hunter Forum is a real-name system and cannot be used with a clip.
Feng Ling cleared all the previous characters, letting his brain temporarily forget the "doushale" tone, and edited the post very seriously.
[Feng Ling: There is a maze manager at the entrance of each maze. If the maze manager dies, cracks will appear in the maze and merge with the real world, which is what we know as the maze pollution diffusion phenomenon.]
[Feng Ling: Killing the Lord of the Labyrinth can make the pollution disappear, but if the pollution has already spread, for those pollutions that have spread to the periphery of the labyrinth, even if the Lord of the Labyrinth is killed, the pollution will not disappear.]
