"If Leviathan left the mark on the ship, it means that he needs resources. If he left the mark on a person, it means that he needs the person," Aquilati Gehrli said. "Although I don't know why Leviathan Aberhan Tegmis needs Simenta, since he left a mark on Simenta, it means that Simenta is of some value to Leviathan Aberhan Tegmis."
"But the others on the ship aren't the people he wants, so he either recycles them and turns them into low-level sources of pollution or uses them as food. Either way, he won't let them enter Demon Island's waters."
"Sources of pollution? Like that dying guy? "
"He's a pathogen," Aquilati Gehrli said. "The curse and voodoo he carries will infect most people on the ship. Those who are infected are called sources of pollution."
"What's the difference?"
"Although pathogens and sources of pollution can infect others with voodoo and curses, the source of pollution is just a simple infection. After a pathogen infects others with voodoo and curses, it will absorb most of the vitality and power of the other party. People who become sources of pollution will also lose their vitality and become hungry. At this time, they need to constantly infect others, and everyone who is directly infected or indirectly infected will have their vitality flow to the pathogen."
"In other words, the more people it infects, the more powerful the pathogen will be."
"Yes."
"If you throw this pathogen in a densely populated area, won't it be invincible?"
"It's not that simple. Basically, people in the spiritual world know how to deal with this kind of enemy. As long as you kill the pathogen, other sources of pollution will die too. Even if you throw it in a densely populated area, it won't really grow. Unless it infects tens of thousands of people, it won't be much trouble for most spiritualists."
Chen Zhao thought about it. It made sense. Unless thousands or tens of thousands of people were all gathered in a small space.
Otherwise, the pathogen wouldn't be able to infect them all at once. Moreover, indirect transmission would be easily discovered.
…
"How is he?" Symenta asked.
"Looks like he's just dehydrated and malnourished," the doctor said.
"I'll inject him with a bottle of glucose first. When he wakes up, I'll arrange some food for him. Ahem … Also, arrange a cabin with better ventilation for him. This cabin is too stuffy."
Although Simenta heard the doctor's words, she didn't plan to do so.
She did not save this person out of a sudden kindness.
He just wanted to confirm his identity and maybe get some benefits from him.
In fact, this logic was very simple. If the victim was in trouble on a ship, the priority to be assigned to the lifeboat would definitely be the person with the highest status or the richest person.
Therefore, Simenta felt that he had some value.
Symenta and the ship's doctor went out of the cabin.
For some reason, Symenta felt uneasy.
"When he wakes up, let's confirm his identity first. If he's worthless."
"Ahem … I know what to do," the ship doctor said.
None of the people on this ship were good people.
Basically, good people wouldn't board this ship.
"Looks like you're also sick. Don't go to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze for the next two days."
"Cough cough … Maybe I caught a cold last night." The ship's doctor coughed a few more times.
…
"The first infected person has appeared."
"I want to see what happens next," Aquilati Gasley said.
"Let's see what happens next," Aquilati Gasley said.
Chen Zhao had the same plan.
However, Chen Zhao and Aquilati Gasley's curiosity didn't last long.
That was because the first infected doctor fainted in the evening of the same day.
That night, two crew members helped take care of the doctor.
Then they were indirectly infected too.
All this happened under Chen Zhao and Aquilati Gasley's watchful eyes.
However, the two were very cold-blooded spectators.
They had no intention of interfering.
Damn it, the guy we saved yesterday seems to have some kind of infectious disease. The ship doctor treated him yesterday, and he got sick. Now the ship doctor has infected the other two crew members, Heppley said to Simenta. What do we do now?
"We can't keep the guy on the ship. Throw him into the sea," Simenta said, her face pale. "Also, wear a gas mask. Don't get infected again."
Heppley nodded and called for the two crew members to follow him.
They arrived outside the cabin of the person they'd saved yesterday. "You two, wear gas masks and drag that guy out."
The two crew members were a bit unwilling, but they had to listen to Heppley here.
However, the moment they opened the cabin, they were both shocked.
"Heppley, come in and see."
When Herberly entered the cabin, he was also shocked.
The body of the shriveled patient on the bed swelled up a little.
The cabin was filled with a strange mucus.
The mucus intersected with each other, blocking everyone's path.
"Heppley, do you know what's going on?"
Heppley's expression was serious. He didn't know what it was.
However, he knew that it definitely wasn't anything good.
Just then, the pathogen on the bed suddenly opened its eyes. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a stream of mucus.
A crew member couldn't dodge in time and was sprayed by the mucus.
The mucus pinned the crew member to the wall behind him.
"Quick, save me … …" The crew member screamed in horror.
Heppley and the other crew member were scared out of their wits. The pathogen stood up unsteadily.
Heppley looked at the crew member who was pinned to the wall and shouted. "Go!"
At the same time, Heppley pulled the frightened crew member out and closed the cabin door.
However, they could still see through the round glass on the cabin door.
They saw the pathogen stagger towards the crew member who was pinned to the wall.
Facing the crew member who was screaming in horror, the pathogen opened its mouth. It didn't directly touch the crew member, but the crew member's body began to wither. On the contrary, the pathogen was withering.
His originally shriveled body was becoming plump.
Seeing this scene, Heppley and the other crew member were scared pale.
Heppley didn't dare to delay any longer. "You watch over here, I'll inform the captain."
"Ah? Me? "
"What are you afraid of? That guy can't come out. Lock the cabin door."
