When Gu Jun found out about the emergency at London and New York, he was still inside the quarantine room.
He had been here for the past 3 days. After his identity was confirmed by Wu Shiyu, he had been in constant communication with the headquarters.
"Quarantine, quarantine, what's the situation now? How many more days are we going to be quarantined for?!" Tong Ye grumbled. It was not that he had no medical knowledge but he trusted the Zoogs more than Gu Jun. The House of Worm would not give them anything. "Why can't we use the kid now?"
But Tong Ye only grumbled a little, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.
But the sudden incident that afternoon caught everyone off guard.
It forced Gu Jun to put on the airtight protective suit and go to the disinfection room to disinfect the suit. Then he walked out from the quarantine room.
"Ah Jun, what's going on?" Uncle Dan, Lou Xiaoning, Peacock and the rest of the Spell Department were released. Of course they were all in airtight protective suits.
It was so many days earlier than the scheduled one-week quarantine. They all knew something was wrong. Did something happen again?
"It's not related to our country." Gu Jun said in a low voice. "It's the United States and the United Kingdom."
The accompanying workers used their phones to play the relevant video for Uncle Dan's group. The group watched it as they left the quarantine building. They boarded a quarantine vehicle that was specially painted with different colors and symbols to avoid any misunderstanding from the public. They headed towards Eastern State City.
These videos were not confidential. Even though there was a restriction on the internet, it was still a public outcry overseas.
"Oh no …" Kathlyn panicked. "Are you alright in Australia?" She quickly called her parents and sighed in relief when she found out everything was fine. The others shared the same thought. In this world, one could fall asleep and wake up the next morning without seeing the people they cared about the most.
"F * ck, how long has it been?" Lou Xiaoning cursed angrily. The New Legion Fever had not even subsided and now there was another b * stard stirring up trouble.
"This is bad, this is bad." Uncle Dan was no longer in the mood to joke. His middle-aged face was drawn as he grumbled.
Black fog, dead birds, if those were infectious viruses or bacteria, the consequences would be unimaginable …
But the current signs did not seem to be the case.
The black mist that shrouded Lundy disappeared as quickly as it came. After scaring everyone in the city, it started to dissipate in less than ten minutes, and disappeared after another ten minutes. All that was left was the stench of rotting corpses, but there were no signs of discomfort among the populace.
Meanwhile, in New York City, the dead birds were proven to be illusions created by the black fog. They fell to the ground one after another, almost covering the entire city with a layer of bird corpses. However, in less than half an hour, all of them turned into mist and dissipated, leaving behind only a similarly strong stench.
Now these two metropolises are under emergency lockdown by their respective countries, the specific spread of the plague is pending test results.
However, it had been nearly an hour since the incident, and there were no reports of casualties.
"That should be the effect of a curse ritual …"
On the moving quarantine vehicle, Gu Jun was talking to the command center. "They may not be carrying pathogens. That's just how I feel when I watch the videos. " Even though he did not have synesthesia, his experience at the House of Worm did give him a different sense of perception.
The videos did not give him the presence of real death. In fact, even Wu Shiyu's synesthesia did not give him the same feeling, he felt like a scary clown.
"You think the enemy is just trying to scare people?" Yao Sinian asked, "Could it really be a disease?"
"It's not easy to use a curse ritual to spread the plague to the big cities." Gu Jun offered his opinion seriously, "I don't think they are capable of that."
Why didn't the cultists spread the plague to the big cities from the very beginning?
Gu Jun now knew it was because of the House of Worm. Kaar Plains was a desolate place, to strengthen the connection between Dreamlands and Earth, they had to choose a remote location. Due to their belief in R 'yleh Cthulhu, they had to choose a coastal location.
This was also why San Hai City had these two characteristics when it came to the infected areas overseas.
Starting from these places, the stronger the connection between the two worlds, the more powerful the thousand-eyed worm, the more effective it would be.
This also proved that the cultists from Afterlife Cult and R 'yleh Cult did not possess any advanced biological technology so they could not use spells to create the plague. The other reason was that without spells, they would not be able to connect with R 'yleh, then how would they be able to awaken the Lord of R' yleh?
Therefore, Gu Jun believed the cultists did not have that ability.
Otherwise, if they had spread the germs to all the major cities in the world from the very beginning, the consequences would have been a hundred times worse than the current situation.
"Then what do you think is their goal?" Yao Sinian asked. Gu Jun felt relieved when he heard Gu Jun did not feel like they were carrying the plague.
"I believe … they are spreading fear to create chaos."
Gu Jun's heart chilled as he said that.
Fear and chaos were the food for certain existences like the House of Worm. The cultists might be trying to reopen the House of Worm or something else, or spreading fear was their goal?
Look at the internet in foreign countries. Wasn't it already filled with people's fear? Of course, there were also people who were gloating. Some were shouting that the end of the world was coming. There were all kinds of conspiracy theories. Some were discouraged, and some felt that they were in the right era … These were the seeds of chaos.
The first to panic would be the hearts of the people. Most of them would be frightened. Once they were scared, they would not be able to escape with medical masks.
Today, it was London City, New York City, where would it be tomorrow?
Fear and chaos, they might be … the source of the disease.
Gu Jun chilled when he thought of this because he had a suspicion … Hemoptysis was a disease that affected one's physiology.
At the time, the foreign world was plunged into great fear by the Necro-skins. The appearance of hemoptysis completely shattered everyone's morale.
This Legionnaires' Syndrome, these scares, they all brought about that kind of fear.
"Mr. Yao, Tong Ye." Gu Jun turned to the command central. "We cannot allow the public's fear to worsen, this might be a psychological plague."
"Hmm." Tong Ye understood. "I've always said, it's better to let it out than to stop it. This time, it won't work."
"Ah Jun, be prepared." Yao Sinian said seriously, "After today's incident, the US is about to admit the existence of supernatural forces. We're still communicating with them how far we should go. But the decision has been made. Once the US announces it, we'll announce it on our side and spread the word about you. "
