Chapter 433 Ninth Era, Year 155

Lu Yuan spent the most indescribably happy night in history.

His life entered an unprecedented stage of happiness, with a close partner, friends to talk to, good brothers, and his own career...

…

But for the underground alliance, this night was very tormenting.

The gambling fight... lost again!

It's not that Master Lu Lun is not strong enough, but... out of the underground environment and his own civilization, he can't use much "luck".

His performance was much worse than the last time.

So the craftsmen of the Shumiba civilization easily won this game!

5 Lingyun.

The number is not large, but it makes the underground people feel very painful.

"No effort!" The rat craftsman, Shu Gongye, shook his beard, very proud.

Seeing the other party's frustrated look, he couldn't help but comfort him: "Your path is not a dead end, but it has a lot of limitations."

"Hey, come here to study more, considering that you paid 5 Lingyun tuition."

"Really?!" Lu Lun's eyes suddenly lit up.

The rat people are actually more generous than humans. After all, they don't develop civilization. They take the opportunity to make friends with anyone they see has potential... As for whether the final result is good or bad, they don't really care.

...

The current time is Pangu Continent, the ninth era, the 56371st day.

For life outside the safe zone, 155 years is already a very long time.

Mulberry leaves are still growing silently, countless stories are played out on this continent, and many reckless civilizations disappear silently, leaving only a piece of ruins.

Prosperity is always short-lived, and death is eternal, as if no one knows they have been here.

But there are also some civilizations that are very lucky to pick up treasures and soar into the sky!

For example, the Underground Alliance!

On the first day when these 12 races arrived at the Sky City, they immediately realized their own shortcomings...

and...the superiority of the wandering civilization!

Their horizons were directly broadened a lot.

This gap is all-round, not to mention the gap in technology. After all, humans have picked up too many relics, so it is normal that technology cannot compare.

Even in the spiritual will, there is actually...a gap!

This is incredible!

Any passerby who sees these foreigners can be very interested in chatting with them, talking about civilization construction, and their conversation and knowledge are all quite extraordinary - this means that the educational resources are extremely rich.

The expenditure on education is really not covered. They can't figure out how humans with such a small population can maintain financial balance?

So they could only stop a young man passing by on the roadside, interview him casually, and ask him: "Education... I can't reveal too much about this. I can only say that our educational resources are very rich, and most of the knowledge can be learned for free."

"What industry am I in? This is not a secret. I am an apprentice of carving. I have a little talent. This year, my god attribute has reached 12 points, which is exactly the minimum standard in this industry."

"My research direction is to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of rune bullets! As you know, the engraving of carvings requires idealistic base materials. These materials are too expensive. We want to mix some ordinary metals in the idealistic materials to reduce the cost of bullets..."

"I can't say more... It's a small achievement! It's considered to be a small contribution to civilization. Let's keep up the good work in the future!"

The young man couldn't stop smiling when he introduced here.

It can be seen that human civilization has conquered many difficulties, and the self-confidence generated from the heart does not need to be concealed at all.

These young people are looking for something to do one by one.

It seems that there is no difficulty in the world that can stump them!

In contrast... the morale of the underground alliance is always not very high.

Except for the Bullheads who were laughing foolishly, other races were more or less depressed. After all, in the disaster, so many people were lost. Who dared to imagine the future?

And the land area of ​​"Dongtian" was so small... It was difficult to live in harmony.

…

Also, in human civilization, the fighting will of soldiers was extremely high.

Various reconnaissance work was really hard, but they enjoyed it and even felt proud of it.

The soldiers guarded everything here from the bottom of their hearts.

"Treasure Hunting Team, this month's goal has been exceeded! Brothers, disband!" (Mainly treasures in the forest.)

"My name is Lu Ying, and I haven't gained much recently... Alas, it's naturally a far cry from the Zerg nest."

"But whatever we find is what we get. It's not bad to have a spiritual income of 10-20 a year." The man laughed heartily.

"Brother Lu, how to dig for treasure, teach me, old cow! Moo!"

…

What's more terrifying is that among the human group, almost all people are willing to follow the city, go far away, explore the unknown, and look for opportunities.

This is really scary and difficult to do.

The more experience you have, the richer your foundation will be. The truth is really simple.

But who doesn't yearn for that little bit of comfort?

Maybe if something goes wrong halfway, the whole city will be extinct?

The Underground Alliance didn't know how to convince their people to keep going... Even if they built the Sky City, it might just be to avoid disasters instead of actively seeking opportunities...

"No wonder the craftsmen of the Shumiba civilization are willing to stay here. The luck here is really too strong."

"I can feel from time to time that it is a state created by the people that can last for a long time."

"In comparison, our Underground Alliance is a mediocre and uninteresting civilization." Master Craftsman Lu Lun, seeing all this, couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, watching all this doesn't mean he will betray the Alliance.

He just wants to make the Alliance better!

That's his path!

...

Just like that, time passed quickly. A month later, a group of underground people were anxiously waiting outside the high-risk laboratory.

The important task of their visit this time was to treat the ancient worms.

They had to first confirm whether the human side could be cured, and then consider the issue of medical expenses.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon of that day that Lu Yuan came out of the laboratory with a safe.

Behind him followed the wooden puppet "Greedy Demon", Professor Lu Tiantian, and a bunch of biologists.

It can be seen that many experts have worked hard for a month these days.

"How is it, is there a way?" Oshima Gang hurried forward.

Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and whispered: "Conventional methods are difficult. Our experts have thought of many ways, but in the end it is useless. The quality of its rules is too high."

Hearing this news, everyone in the underground alliance clenched their fists and smiled bitterly.

Hope is shattered.

Lu Yuan explained: "Especially when there is only a piece of meat, it no longer has its own immune system, which makes it even more difficult..."

"You know, the main reason for the cure of many diseases is not because of drugs, but the body's own immune ability. Drugs just push from behind, which is equivalent to a boost. Immune ability is more important."

Humans really tried their best, all kinds of methods of fighting poison with poison, such as [Blood Ghost], [Deformed Ghost], etc., were used.

Even the blood of the little mirage dragon was used for experiments!

The race value of the little mirage dragon is relatively high among the anomalies.

But in the end, it was useless.

The current one is different from the ghost fog disaster. All the ghost fog added up at the beginning was actually only one drop of blood, and the power concentration was very low, so each person absorbed it very limitedly.

However, the power concentration contained in this piece of meat in the safe is quite high, which may be about 100,000 times that of the ghost fog!

Unless the whole piece of meat is destroyed together, it can be completely solved, but that is not treatment, but direct elimination.

Hearing the human say this, Oshima Gang was silent for a while, looking at the blue sky and white clouds: "It's really troublesome for you, it's normal that it can't be cured... If this thing is so easy, we can do it ourselves."

"Then let's do it... We have settled for a month and have some understanding of humans. It's time to go back and report the situation."

"I hope we can cooperate further and look forward to the future."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After a month of observation, humans are indeed more advanced than them. If they can't do it, there is nothing they can do. They can only seek help from more powerful civilizations in the future.

Lu Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, don't worry... Our experts believe that if the patient's vitality is very strong, there is still... a slight chance of success. I don't know how much energy this patient has left."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

"Through some experimental analysis, we found that this piece of life tissue may be consistent with the muscle structure of the anomaly [worm]."

Oshima Gang was stunned for a moment, and the identity of the ancient worm seemed to have been discovered.

But this is also normal. If this kind of thing cannot be detected, what's the point of treating it?

"The anomaly [worm] has some special characteristics. It may be able to use its own 'devouring evolution' ability to devour this 'blight'. Of course, the specific treatment method is not convenient to disclose. We will use some very special medicines, which require strong vitality to survive."

The mortality rate of "blight" is higher than that of "deformation disease".

Lu Yuan was reluctant to use his own Zerg for experiments, so he asked the frontline soldiers to capture some Zerg in the rift and send them to the rear.

After a series of attempts, scientists found that [Withering] and [Deformation] seemed to be at the same level, and the combat effectiveness of [Blood Vampire] was slightly higher.

This means that "Withering" can be treated like "Deformation", but the process in the middle needs to be slightly improved.

Lu Yuan showed a glass bottle, and the gray-black mist inside, like a living thing, formed one vortex after another, constantly hitting the bottle wall.

Da Daogang gently touched the bottle, and the whole person bounced up as if he was electrocuted!

A cold force made his whole body numb, yes, that's the feeling! This is the power of the same source!

The other diplomats touched it one by one, and they were so scared that they trembled all over.

"It seems like there's hope this time?" The Bull-Headed Chieftain widened his eyes. "After all, it's something we don't understand at all. Maybe there's hope?"

Everyone smiled bitterly with a sense of silence... Things that we don't understand are actually more reliable. What kind of logic is this?

"Ahem, let me tell you the truth. This is the power of the [ghost]. It is the strongest and most terrifying of the four natural disasters." Lu Yuan said, "Your patients were attacked by the [ghost] but did not die... It is also amazing enough. Anyway, no one here can withstand the [ghost]."

Oshima Gang actually knew this, and after being pointed out, he could only ask shamelessly: "What is the success rate...?"

"This... How can we guarantee it?"

Before Lu Yuan finished speaking, Professor Lu Tiantian, who was standing on the side, interrupted and said: "According to the current analysis, this anomaly [worm] is simply unprecedentedly powerful..."

"If it is in its peak state, we have a 99% chance of saving it. But now too much time has passed, we can't evaluate its life state, so we can't estimate its chance of recovery."

"But please believe that our method is absolutely effective. I'm sorry I can't reveal the specific principle, which involves the secrets of human civilization..."

"These are the current experimental specimens, you can take a look."

Several soldiers drove mechas and carried some Zerg experimental specimens out of the laboratory.

Most of the insects died, and their death was extremely miserable. The water in their bodies was evaporated and they became mummies.

This is the classic symptom of blight.

But there are a few that still maintain a relatively moist shape. However, after cutting them with laser, it was found that they had grape-like malignant tumors in their bodies, and yellow viscous liquid kept flowing out, polluting the entire glass box.

"This..." Oshima Gang was a little surprised when he saw this disgusting scene.

He asked a slant-eyed biological expert behind him to observe for a while.

This slant-eyed expert was not an ordinary person. After studying for a while, his face was happy: "My lord, I almost understand it. Humans used some kind of energy of the same level to expel the power of the blight."

"But that same level of energy will cause a large number of tumors..."

Oshima Gang shook his face: "What's the use of that? Isn't it more troublesome? The ancient insect turned into a tumor? I dare not imagine... If the people knew about it, they might send us to the gallows!"

After all, the ancient insect is a belief and a spiritual pillar.

The expert shook his head: "No, it does make sense. The symptoms of the blight are too horrible. People will die in just a few minutes."

"But this kind of abnormal symptoms kills slowly. Even ordinary Zerg will take a long time to die. Humans should want to take advantage of this and do something."

This is like the difference between "Ebola virus" and "malignant tumor". One dies quickly and cannot be saved; the other has a high mortality rate, but dies slowly, so we can think of a way to treat it.
