Chapter 269 Catastrophe

"They...what happened?" Lu Ming asked.

"Maybe something went wrong in reality!" Gu Qingyuan answered nonchalantly, "Now that we have the reward, we will go back first. If the sky falls, we have Wu Dalang... and the Response Bureau to support us."

When Lu Ming came to his senses, he was already in his home.

"Are we deserting the battlefield?" he asked weakly.

"No, it's none of my business. I'll just ignore it." Gu Qingyuan was fiddling with the golden ball he had taken back, while Lu Xianzhi was carefully looking at the furnishings in the room.

Lu Ming was still a little worried. He imitated Gu Qingyuan and asked while holding his phone, "Eve, Eve, what happened?"

Eve: ………

Gu Qingyuan glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Lu Ming and took out his cell phone: "Eve, what's going on now?"

"The rain of arrows shot by the Plague Knight broke through Armenia's defense system, causing the virus in the bodies of Armenian people to mutate," said Eve.

An image began to appear on the silver phone screen. A man was staggering and about to fall, with black saliva flowing out of his mouth. He fell to the ground, his skin was wrinkled, his hair was dry, and he looked like his end was near.

Looking up, I saw countless people collapsed on the street. Although their symptoms were different, they were all dying.

"According to observation and analysis, the Plague Knight detonated the epidemic in the Armenian people, and merged with their own latent illnesses, causing the body's functions to be rapidly consumed, life span to be depleted, and death to occur. The disease was only a trigger, and the real cause of death was the loss of vitality, that is, the end of life." Eve said

At the same time, the man’s physical examination information was retrieved, which showed that the man had potential diseases such as alcoholic liver disease and high blood pressure.

"Fuck, Armenia is doomed!" Lu Ming said.

Because of the work and rest and diet problems of modern people, most of them are in sub-healthy state. How can they resist the outbreak of potential diseases in the body?

"Not yet, but it will be soon. Instead of worrying about them, you might as well focus on your own side." Gu Qingyuan said.

Lu Ming was shocked: "Brother Li, are you saying that this disease will spread to China?"

"The infectiousness and universality of the disease determine this result. Those capitalists and wealthy people in Armenia must be unable to sit still and want to leave this quagmire of Armenia as soon as possible. As long as they move, the source of the disease they carry will spread. Now it depends on whether the response agency reacts quickly enough." Gu Qingyuan put away the golden ball and secretly contacted Skynet.

His little world is very empty now. A large number of souls are about to be born in Armenia. As long as these souls are thrown into reincarnation to be cleansed and then stamped with thoughts, they can become NPCs serving players in the future. It would be a good thing to use such cheap labor. The most he can do is to pay for the travel expenses.

"We have received 127 entry applications from Armenia, but all have been denied entry." Eve sent the message.

"Brother Li, what should we do next?" Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Armenia was too far away from him, and he had only been out of the province a few times in his life.

"Get familiar with your power as soon as possible. This is the end of the world, and it is not as simple as you think. Having the power to protect yourself is the primary goal." Gu Qingyuan looked at the screen.

"Most of the Plague Knight's power was integrated into that wave of arrows, so he was eliminated so easily. His purpose from the beginning was not to kill a few participants, but to bring the prelude to destruction for this world." In response to the situation, Xia Ling, who rushed back, did not care about the two people who had left the team. One was D-level and did not have the power to turn the situation around, and the other was powerful, but had been in a free state and was considered a non-staff member who would not listen to orders or announcements.

"Besides, Mr. Li has already helped a lot. We can't just rely on his strength."

She looked at the big screen in front of her. As Shui Lianyue adjusted the monitoring system, she began to include the mutated epidemic in the monitoring scope.

"Chairman Harvey, this is an urgent situation. I need your information."

Harvey's figure flashed on the screen. His hair was disheveled and he looked disheveled. The participants behind him were using holy light to purify a patient from the mutated plague. However, the holy light could only purify the plague power emitted by the Plague Knight, and it was powerless against the lesions and consumed lifespan caused by the patient's own lesions.

"Director Xia, I'm applying for assistance from the Response Bureau. All national resources and manpower can cooperate with your actions. After the situation calms down, I will pay you for your assistance on behalf of this country in my capacity as the President and Speaker of the Parliament, if this country should exist." Harvey no longer cared about national sovereignty. The land was saved but the people were lost. Both the land and the people were lost. The large-scale outbreak of the epidemic has gradually turned this country into a dead place.

"I suggest that healthy people and people with the epidemic be isolated in both directions first, and put into a state of compulsory supervision to prevent the situation from escalating." Xia Ling did not want to take over this mess, but the two countries are far and close at the same time. If nothing is stopped, the movement of the source of the disease will inevitably cause the epidemic to flow into China again, destroying the current stable situation.

"There are no healthy people anymore. The people of this country have turned into plague ghosts." Harvey shook his head with a bitter face, "Even I have been infected with the plague. If it weren't for the protection of the holy power, I would only be a wrinkled dried corpse standing here."

"Although I don't want to say it, Director Xia, the fact is that due to my poor supervision, a wind of disease that can infect participants is spreading in Armenia. If no effective measures are taken, we can only wait for death in silence."

Xia Ling was silent for a moment: "The situation has reached its worst point. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. If... if it reaches the most serious point..."

She didn't say what would happen, but Harvey knew it was nothing more than giving up Armenia. A greater possibility was to gather the strength of other forces and wipe Armenia off the world map. After all, destruction is always easier than salvation, especially when all mankind is in danger.

"For the sake of all mankind" is the phrase most often said by the Armenian government, but now it has become its death warrant.

"I will report to the higher-ups and negotiate cooperation with other countries as soon as possible to build a monitoring system that can cover the entire world. If we cannot see the epidemic and allow the source of the disease to spread everywhere, that would be a real disaster, and you would be the first." Xia Ling said.

"I will ask Ms. Shui Lianyue, who is in charge of monitoring, to transmit the data to you. Do you still have enough power?"

Harvey sighed. "Currently, the remaining forces of Holy Heaven are on standby and can carry out the construction work, but the other participants do not obey my orders. A considerable number of participants have left Armenia and gone to various places. Please alert the response bureau as soon as possible."

At the same time, at the border of China, two blond participants quietly opened the portal. They were both holders of space abilities. When they found something was wrong, they ran away in time. China, where the situation was relatively stable, became their destination.

Boom!

After two gunshots, the response bureau member took his eyes away from the scope. In his hand was a three-meter-long sniper rifle. Its strange shape and technology, as well as the powerful spiritual power fluctuations, implied that this was not an ordinary sniper rifle.

As the shell fell to the ground, a burst of heat emanated from the gun body. The response bureau member turned a blind eye to the heat that was enough to burn a human body. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, which showed a small map with adjustable accuracy. Two green dots were now displayed on it.

"Two more are coming. Clean-up team, burn them as soon as possible. Pay attention to protection. Damn it, how come we're entering the doomsday process all of a sudden? I haven't even bought all the Steam games yet and we're already playing a real-life battle royale!"
