"How convenient" You Xin sighed.
"That's right, and it's free" Mo Qiong replied.
"If it's necessary for the mission, it's free, but I heard that if this isn't a mission, we'll have to pay for it ourselves" You Xin said.
Mo Qiong also knew this rule, if it wasn't a mission, he would have to pay for the flight himself.
Not only that, the old members also told him that there were always fake missions. Usually, there were only a few that appeared to be anomalies, but after careful investigation, they weren't.
Most of these were just a smokescreen set up by the Instructor to distract them.
If they all went to a fake mission location, then the Instructor would suddenly cause a real anomaly to erupt at another location and have them go.
Because of that, they needed to have a strong ability to distinguish between fake and fake missions by sending people to investigate from afar.
"There are many ways for animals to die, did you find out the cause of death?" You Xin asked.
Mo Qiong smiled: "Chris sent all of us there, which means he's already confirmed that it was a real anomaly"
Whether it was or not, they'd know after asking.
"Captain, is it convenient to talk? I want to know what happened at Nakuru National Park "Mo Qiong asked.
"I've already sent all the information to you, the Instructor is also in the group chat, you can ask him if you have any questions" Chris said.
They could check the information with their phones, it was quite detailed, with pictures, videos, and even text descriptions.
The anomaly happened near Lake Nakuru in the Rift Valley province's national park, where there were over 2 million flamingos, other than that, there were also a lot of other wild animals. This kind of animal paradise was everywhere in Kenya.
According to the information, it was a forest ranger who first heard the strange cries of animals, tens of thousands of flamingos, lions, hippopotamuses, baboons, and other animals were all making strange and terrifying noises.
The ranger was scared and immediately reported it.
Later, because he was worried about the animals, he even went to check it out, but he never returned.
"After I received the news, I immediately asked the nearby peripheral personnel to go take a look, and found a large number of animal corpses by Lake Nakulu. Roughly estimating that there were more than two hundred thousand wild animals of various sizes that had died, and their deaths were tragic. Most of them were bleeding from their noses and mouths, and were still twitching and screaming before they died "Chris said.
"So this is what this picture looks like? This is obviously photoshopped! "Mo Qiong looked at the photo and said.
"Ahem, ahem … Of course I know it's photoshopped. After I asked the outside staff to check it, the instructor sent me the photo in just five minutes. Didn't I say that I wouldn't really let it kill 200,000 animals? Anyway, that's the information we got, "Chris said.
"Alright then …"
Mo Qiong looked at the photos carefully, flipping through them one by one. They were all taken from a distance, so he couldn't see much at all.
Coupled with the text description, he only knew that the animals did not die uniformly. Instead, they died one after another. Before they died, they struggled violently and screamed crazily.
"There aren't even any insects around the lake. If humans go there, they will definitely die." Mo Qiong said.
Yan Wei asked, "Did you bring back any corpses? Let's dissect it. It might be a virus. "
"Due to the disappearance of the rangers, I didn't allow any of our peripheral personnel to venture deeper. The discovery of over 200,000 animal carcasses already speaks volumes about the anomaly in that area. I've already applied for D-class personnel, but it will take some time. "Chris said.
Immediately after that, Chris had the peripheral personnel herd a few sheep to the lake. Through the sheep's reactions, they slowly determined the range of the anomaly.
As for whether or not this area would spread, it was still unknown. Since they hadn't arrived yet, they could only ask the peripheral personnel to tie up a few more sheep a kilometer away from the lake.
If the sheep suddenly showed abnormal symptoms as time passed, it meant that they had to deal with this anomaly as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would spread to the human settlement sooner or later.
20 minutes quickly passed, and Alissanda arrived at the scene.
"Captain, the sheep are also making strange noises … these noises … are really strange. They're making noises while twitching, like they're sneezing?" Alissanda said.
"Damn, the effect is spreading. Immediately send people to seal off the area and evacuate all civilians within a 10km radius." Chris said.
"I'm already on it." Alissanda said.
"Also, are there any corpses at the scene? I'm talking about real corpses. "Chris said.
"Yes, they're all floating on the lake. Although there aren't 200,000 of them, there are still around 1-2 thousand of them. Most of them are fish. They're quite far away from me, about a kilometer away." Alissanda said.
"The sheep will definitely need to be dissected. Also, think of a way to get a corpse from the lake. We need to take a sample of the water and algae there, but make sure you don't enter the area." Chris said.
"Understood!"
A kilometer was a long distance, but the society quickly provided him with a 2-kilometer long wire.
Using the modified gun to shoot a corpse from above, Alissanda easily dragged a flamingo's corpse from the lake to a safe distance.
"Captain, the corpse doesn't have any external injuries, but we can see that the animal was in a state of panic before it died. Perhaps it's a psychic anomaly." Alissanda said.
"Give it to the research department, tell them to investigate the cause of death. Be careful, don't let them take it too far, this corpse might be the source of the infection. "Chris said.
About 30 minutes later, Mo Qiong and You Xin arrived at Nakuru National Park.
Everyone else had also arrived. Darwin's squad had a total of 10 people, all of them gathered at a temporary camp about 2 kilometers away from Nakuru Lake.
When they arrived, Mo Qiong found that the area had already been cordoned off. There were no outsiders in the entire national park, not even animals.
It was obvious that this area had been used for the drill.
"Cut the crap, is there anything special inside the animal's corpse?" Chris asked as soon as he arrived.
Alissanda shook his head. "No, there's nothing at all. They died from massive chest bleeding and a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. But we didn't find any unknown bacteria or viruses, nor any strange ingredients. This is a typical effect kill. But what kind of effect caused their deaths … The most likely possibility is … they died from sneezing too hard. "
"…" Everyone was silent. Sneezing too hard?
Just as they were wondering, Wavy Wave's voice came from their earpiece. "D-class personnel 80021 and 80022 have arrived."
Mo Qiong looked around. Damn it, it was clearly just a verbal announcement.
The real people present, other than Darwin's squad, were only 7-8 people on the outside. They were mainly responsible for cordoning off the area and studying the corpses.
"Have 80021 enter the perimeter immediately. I don't want him to touch anything, especially the lake and the corpses. He just needs to stand there quietly," Chris said.
As soon as he said that, everyone saw a large screen in the camp begin to broadcast a live broadcast.
It was Instructor Wavy Wave personally approaching the lake, but he was on the other side.
He was wearing the uniform of a D-class personnel, and the serial number on the back was 80021. After walking for a while, he suddenly began to sneeze, as if he was doing it involuntarily.
"Achoo! Achoo! "
Wavy Wave kept sneezing, and not just any ordinary sneeze, but with all his might. The sound was so loud that his body shook violently.
"Can you suppress it?" Chris asked.
"I … Achoo …"
He couldn't speak at all. He could only rely on his strong body to walk.
Later on, the sneezing turned into the hollow sound of metal clashing. It was the sound of a severely damaged throat, like a broken bellows scraping against metal.
Even a man as strong as Wavy Wave spat out a mouthful of blood after two minutes. Blood was bubbling out of his nose.
Four minutes later, he fell to the ground, twitching as he continued to sneeze. Blood spurted out from his mouth as he sneezed, and blood splattered more than a meter away.
After that, the live broadcast was cut off. Looking at the black screen, Mo Qiong and the other new members were dumbfounded.
"He … he …" Mo Qiong didn't expect Wavy Wave to personally demonstrate what would happen after sending a D-class personnel into the perimeter.
"D- 80021 is dead. Broken laryngeal bone, ruptured air bubbles, perforated eardrum, ruptured brain aneurysm, and enlarged intracranial gas," another calm voice said.
You Xin was stunned. It was his instructor's voice.
He and Mo Qiong exchanged a look. Although they knew that Wavy Wave was definitely fine, the scene of him sneezing to death was definitely real.
However, the live broadcast was cut off. Clearly, Wavy Wave had started to be rescued, and they didn't want them to see the rescue, so they turned off the live broadcast.
As a result, the D-class personnel they sent out died after the experience just now.
"I understand now. Sneezing to death … That's what happened to the strange noises the animals made before. It's caused by them sneezing with all their might. If they sneeze too hard, they'll tear their throat and chest open, and even die from serious complications," Chris said.
