The red dots on the epidemic map increased in number and density. More cities had their first case, followed by the second, third, fourth … More hospitals started to call for help. It was as if the legionella pneumonia had returned. Not only the waiting rooms, even the corridors were filled with people. Then the hospital lobby.
The cries echoed everywhere, from panic to numbness.
First came the acute bone pain, the limited movement of the joints. Adhesion, synovium, ligaments and so on hardened.
The hospital beds were exhausted, then the stretchers were exhausted but the new patients continued to flood into the hospital.
After the long night, it was still dark. The sun was no longer warm, it was cold and dark.
…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Inside Da Hwa Phecda's command central, there was a sense of urgency.
New situations and new tasks were piling up on the various posts. Some of them were already affected. Their faces were covered in cold sweat. After taking some painkillers, they returned to their work. Now, there was a shortage of people everywhere. To maintain the order here, they needed more people. They didn't want to leave because they didn't want to.
However, no one knew how long they could hold on, how long this command central could last. They could only hold on and buy more time for the frontline.
The first unit had already arrived at the Meroe Pyramids. They were preparing to start their investigation.
…
"Guotong, the current situation is very serious, we need to stop the epidemic as soon as possible."
"Announce Gu Jun's death to the public? Gu Jun's death was an accident. Even though there was something wrong with the way he was handled, now is not the time to fix it. "
"The public is already in a state of panic, even within Phecda … it is not going so well. But the problem is, are you sure it was because Gu Jun's tomb was destroyed that the epidemic would happen? If it was not because of this but the enemy's purposeful arrangement, wouldn't we have fallen into their trap by announcing Gu Jun's death to the public? That would only cause more panic. "
"Guotong, this is not a good idea …"
"Let me tell you again why we are doing this. According to the latest clues found at the frontlines, Gu Jun had expelled the power of the Black Mountain Goat last time. His existence had a special deterrent effect on all the power of the Black Mountain Goat. Therefore, when he was alive, the Little Ram Church did not dare to act recklessly. Only when he was dead did the Little Ram Church think that the time had come. But after his death, the awe-inspiring force still interfered with the ritual of the enemy because of the connection between his tomb and the statue and the world. It even forced them to change some of their plans, which would have led to more serious consequences. Because of this, the enemy spent a lot of effort to destroy Gu Jun's tomb. Now, Gu Jun is dead. His body is destroyed, his tomb is destroyed, and even his reputation is about to be destroyed. His special connection with this world is getting weaker and weaker, and the Petrification Disease epidemic is getting closer and closer. "
"… What latest clue?"
"Guotong, speak clearly."
"The frontline is constantly changing. I can't say for sure either. This clue was obtained by Deng Ximei when she triggered the illusion. She saw the enemy's plot. You can choose not to believe it, but this is what happened: Gu Jun died, and the Little Ram Church only started to act; Gu Jun's tomb was destroyed, and the epidemic and flood came in. This is the special characteristic of Gu Jun that you have been investigating. Dealing with him before was completely self-destructive. "
"What about the Ten Disasters of Egypt in Qing 'an City? How did it happen? "
"If it wasn't for that deterrent force, would the disaster have been solved so easily? I can't say for sure, but I want to remind you that the 'Ten Disasters of Egypt' is not over. The current epidemic and flood are its continuation. We should be worried, and we must stop the 'death of the First Born' from happening. Otherwise, it will not just be a catastrophe …
This disaster was directly sent by God. Do you understand what it means for the dark forces? If the First Born of all the creatures in the world died, how big of a sacrifice would it be? The 'Little Ram God' that they believe in may really come to this world … You also know that there is a power like God in this universe, and it is something that we can't fight against. All we can do is stop that power from coming. "
"Guotong, we understand what you said … But announcing the death of Gu Jun …"
"Yes, that will definitely cause greater panic, but only by doing this to restore Gu Jun's reputation and build up people's worship and memory of him, his special characteristic will be strong again. That is the protection we need the most now. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, that's why I suggested this. "
"Are you sure about what you said?"
"Sure? Sure about what? How? Is this your first day in contact with these things? Why are you talking like an outsider? "
"Guotong, don't get agitated …"
"Take a look at the distribution of the epidemic and see if the epidemic at Eastern State is the lightest. The number of confirmed patients is less than a tenth of Da Hwa City, and the hospitals are not overcrowded. We suspect this is due to the effect of the statue of Gu Jun at Eastern State's Medical Department, so that is something that we have to protect.
"How about this for now? We will come up with a compromise. We will promote Gu Jun's image to the outside world in a positive way. We will let the world remember him and call upon him. At the same time, there will be no panic. Instead, it will be positive, united, and confident. Other than that, we need to start some secret emergency worship activities. As for how to deal with Gu Jun's body and how to repair his tomb, it will be up to you, Guotong. Other than that, make sure to protect Eastern State and relocate the important personnel. "
"If you leave, I, Huang Guotong, will stay. The command center cannot fall into chaos, and the final battle will not be long. If we move to Eastern State now, the chance of the epidemic will indeed decrease, but if we lose, with Gu Jun's special characteristic, it will be useless no matter where we go. Our civilization will really end up like the legend of the City of Kindling. "
"… My right knee joint, just now, just now … now …"
"You're acting up?"
"Perhaps … it's acting up. The knee joint is suddenly very painful. It feels like there is water stirring inside it. It feels like there is an abnormal current inside the body … "
"Don't give me that expression. Don't you know that the epidemic is indiscriminate? He must be acting up. The first stage is acute bone pain, the second stage is the abnormal current inside the body, and soon it will enter the third stage. We do not have any treatment at the moment. "
"Report to the higher-ups immediately, and we will start the relocation immediately."
