Chapter 226 Death Acceleration

   The next morning.

  Barry woke himself up with an oversized snoring. When he sat up from the big bed, he caught a glimpse of Yi Chen who was meditating on the sofa, and he was in a very strange state.

   Metal acupuncture structures grow all over the body, as if acupuncture is a part of Yi Chen.

   Just staring, but it made Barry feel a vague tingling pain, and he never wanted to touch the needles on it.

   At this moment, the needle was slowly withdrawn, and Yi Chen opened his clear and transparent eyes.

   "Barry, are you awake? Let's go downstairs and have a meal."

"Okay." When Barry got up and put on his armor, he was still a little concerned about the needle stick just now, "William, what's the matter with those metal needles growing in your body? I remember when I was fighting with you, I didn't feel anything like this in your body at all. ."

   "Something I just got in the old world not long ago."

   "Apart from the relic, is there any additional gain in the flesh?"

   As soon as these words were said, Barry instantly felt that the gap between him and Yi Chen had widened a lot.

   "By the way, nothing happened last night, right?"

   When Barry asked these words, Yi Chen glanced at the hammer emblem between the big shields, "It's nothing."

  …

   When you take the elevator to the restaurant on the second floor.

  Yi Chen found that the gentlemen who were eating here looked sad and had no motivation at all, which was completely different from the energetic young people in Zion.

  Barry said:

   "These were not able to stay in Zion, but were assigned to cities under the organization's command, which basically meant that there was no future at all. Of course, with the exception of clinic apprentices and some special staff.

   These gentlemen are often past the best breakthrough age and have limited potential. The organization's newly discovered [Relic Incident] won't be their turn at all, unless they can make an impressive contribution to the organization at the station.

   Of course, no matter how you say it, he is much stronger than ordinary people.

  Hey~ I have to do my best. If I still fail to make a breakthrough after another two years, the organization will give up my training. Even if I can stay in Zion with the help of family power, there is basically no hope of breakthrough. "

   Yi Chen patted Barry's shoulder lightly, "This incident is a great opportunity. As long as we can go back smoothly, the organization should arrange a relic incident for you."

   "Yes, I have to cheer up."

   Barry directly stuffed the three croissants into his mouth, making a look ready to go.

   Barry, who ate breakfast for three, looked around: "Speaking of which, there seem to be some gentlemen who have reached their limit, experienced and familiar with the city. Do you want to recruit them to join us?"

  Yi Chen, who was simmering meat sauce noodles, quickly shook his head, and next to his plate was pressing the city map and sewer route map of Levinholm City.

   "Faced with the unknown, people like us who are not very familiar with the city are more likely to find problems. Moreover, these people have no fighting spirit, and they will only be a hindrance if they are called.

  In the event of an inevitable death, just kill the two of us, so as not to drag the others into the water. "

   Hearing these words, Barry's heart thumped, and he always felt like he was working with a lunatic.

   When the comfortable breakfast time was over, when the two were about to set off, they saw a panicked hotel staff walking quickly to the center of the restaurant and loudly conveying important information:

   "Attention gentlemen! Just received the news from the team stationed in the Dom River. Last night, more than 900 civilians threw themselves into the lake on the rainy night. The bodies are currently floating on the lake, and a large number of residents in the rest of the blocks also died.

   Gentlemen who have reached the [limit], please go to the Dome River to gather immediately to assist in salvaging and loading the corpse. "

   These words caused an uproar in the cafeteria.

   You must know that the previous deaths were all ‘sneaky’ deaths. This was the first time I had seen such a collective death, and an uneasy atmosphere permeated the entire cafeteria.

   Yi Chen frowned, thinking in his heart:

   『After the [pattern] passed on by death was excavated by the hospital, and after I captured a dead person alive, is the guy hiding in the dark ready to start a big move? 』

   At this moment, a terrified young gentleman in the cafeteria said:

   "I... Many of us haven't reached the limit yet and can't help much. Staying in the hotel can only use public resources temporarily. Let's evacuate the city ahead of time to reduce the burden."

However, the person in charge responded with a serious face: "Zion has issued a notice that in order to avoid the leakage of the death factor, no one is allowed to leave until the exact source of infection and its nature are identified, or until a unified evacuation instruction is received. Ravenholm.

  Once someone evacuates without permission, they will be regarded as a [defector]. "

   As soon as these words came out, panic spread in the restaurant.

   "Gentlemen who have reached the limit, please bring your equipment and props, gather in the lobby within five minutes, and head to the Dom River."

   Yi Chen got up immediately, and snapped his fingers in front of the stunned Barry, "Let's go!"

  …

  The Dom River, an inner city river running through Levinholm from west to east.

  Due to heavy rain last night, the water level rose almost to the shore.

   A frothy and swollen corpse, face down, huddled on the lake. The gentlemen are using their respective abilities to wrap the corpse in a body bag with an isolation effect, and then carefully salvage it ashore.

   Yi Chen, who came here, did not participate in the salvage work, but stood on an arch bridge and carefully observed the corpses on the lake, quite puzzled.

   The nearby gentlemen could not help but regard Yi Chen's behavior as 'leisure', and occasionally cast contemptuous glances.

   Until a palm gently rested on Yi Chen's shoulder, the gentlemen who cast strange eyes around them immediately turned their heads with shock on their faces.

   Black skin bald head, back decoration of sun structure.

   Dean Dies actually took the initiative to walk up the arch bridge and put a hand on Yi Chen's shoulder, "William Behrens, you seem to have doubts about this [mass suicide]?"

   Even though he felt the arrival of the dean, Yi Chen was still engrossed in the lake and did not look back.

   "Obviously, because we found the [Death Symbol] and captured the dead alive, the other party wanted to speed up the rate of death attack, and directly affected a large number of civilians by the heavy rain last night, and directly committed such a collective suicide.

   But the torrential rain shrouded the entire urban area last night, why did the residents around the river choose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river instead of solving it at home?

  If I remember correctly, most of the gentlemen who committed suicide are also found in rivers and bridge holes.

   If you just commit suicide, you can do it anywhere, but if you choose a river, it means that the other party wants to get something from the suicide that happened in the Dom River.

   That's right~ Dean Diess, did you draw any conclusions from the samples of the dead yesterday? "

   "At present, it is only known that the black liquid in the patient's body can connect the corpses of various creatures together, disguising the appearance of the deceased, and the memory is completely inherited.

   Once these liquids are freed from their attachments, they will quickly evaporate into a colorless, invisible gas.

  More conclusions Mr. Helvoye is still under investigation. "

   "A colorless and invisible gas that carries memories, connections, and..."

   Yi Chen vaguely noticed something,

   "If I guess correctly, after these suicides die, they will pass on a 'thing' that carries their memory, and then construct the deceased by invading the corpses of other animals, disguising the appearance of their lives.

   With so many people dying in the Dom, the 'things' passed from their bodies could sink below the riverbed.

   I recommend searching the sewer area near the Dom. "

   "Yes, as I thought... The Sun Church under my command is already on the way, do you want to go?"

   "Okay, let's join Barry and I."
