That fatty was a very distant memory, one that he only met once in Modu.
"Master, I've found every person in the country called Peng Hou"
Luo Yan handed the information over to Lan Mu, who carefully browsed through it.
There were quite a few people with this name, but none of them were medical experts or scientists. Discovering this virus and naming it after himself made Lan Mu think of an anomaly.
Very quickly, he found the person he knew, Li Peng Hou, who used to work as a real estate agent in Modu, but was originally from Jiangxi province, Lu Shan.
"Jiangxi …"
Lan Mu muttered. Wasn't he currently in Jiangxi? There was an anomaly here waiting for him to take in.
"Luo Yan, which city is over 100 km away from there?"
Lan Mu was currently in the capital of Jiangxi province. He pointed to the North and sensed that the anomaly was over 100 km away from there.
Luo Yan blurted out: "Jiujiang"
Lan Mu nodded, then asked: "Then where is Lu Shan?"
Luo Yan replied: "It's also there"
Lan Mu's eyes lit up and immediately brought Luo Yan to Jiujiang.
He didn't know how the name of this virus was related to the source of the virus, but as long as he collected all the remaining anomalies in the country, he could use Holy Light to purify the world.
The two of them arrived at Jiujiang, which was at the foot of Lu Shan.
According to the investigation, there was only a single person called Li Peng Hou living here.
He resigned on the 16th of February and returned to his hometown, currently unemployed.
"So it really is you? Do you have that anomaly on you? "
Lan Mu found his house and scanned it with his inner sight, but found no one there.
Using his inner sight to cover the entire city, he searched every inch of the fatty's whereabouts.
But whether it was Jiujiang or Lu Shan, Lan Mu couldn't find any trace of Li Peng Hou.
"It's not him?"
Switching to the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, he found that the anomaly was clearly not far away.
After rushing to the anomaly's location and comparing it, Lan Mu finally locked onto a thin man …
A skinny young man was smoking in front of a bank. His eyes were blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After confirming that the anomaly was on him, Lan Mu walked over and scanned him with his mental power.
There was nothing wrong with his body. The only things he had on him were his phone and a cigarette box.
"Luo Yan, bring him here."
Lan Mu intended to use the same trick again. This person looked very down and out, so it would be easier to let Luo Yan come forward.
The riverside was not far from here. Standing on the riverbank, Lan Mu watched as Lord Peng was brought over in a daze.
"You … are the country's secret service? I didn't break the law, right? " Li Penghou's voice didn't change. Lan Mu still remembered him. The studio was rented from him.
Lord Peng's image had changed greatly. He was simply a model of successful weight loss. If it wasn't for the fact that his facial features could still be seen, Lan Mu really wouldn't have recognized him.
Of course, Marquis Peng didn't remember Lan Mu. He didn't have Lan Mu's high spiritual power and could clearly search through his memories. When he was a real estate agent, how could he remember a customer he just met?
Lan Mu recognized him, but the two didn't have any friendship, so he continued.
"Yes, you have an abnormal item on you. It's a forbidden item. Maybe you don't know it yet. Take out everything on your body and check it. Please cooperate. "Lan Mu said directly.
Li Penghou's face was blank. He trembled as he took out his phone, cigarette box, and other miscellaneous items.
Lan Mu used his qi to quickly find the anomaly.
"Rarity: 1989. Evaluation: A phone bound to a virus cultivation game."
Lan Mu stared at the phone and noticed the strange evaluation.
"Virus cultivation game? That virus actually came from a mobile game? "
Lan Mu didn't take the phone easily. Instead, he said to Li Penghou: "Is there a game in this phone?"
Li Penghou was surprised and said: "Uh, yes. I don't know when I downloaded it by mistake. I found it in the phone two months ago. It's quite fun. "
Penghou operated the phone and opened the game for Lan Mu to see.
Lan Mu watched him operate the phone once. The more he watched, the more surprised he became.
Under Lan Mu's repeated questions, Penghou answered in full detail. He quickly understood how the game was played.
This game was designed to cultivate viruses and spread them all over the world. In the end, it would destroy everyone in the world.
There were many elements inside. The virus could evolve into various functions, spreading abilities, resistance, symptoms, and so on.
The game's interface was a world map. It included all the countries and regions in the world. There was also detailed information on the terrain, climate, environment, hygiene level, epidemic prevention, and so on.
Randomly clicking on a country's interface would show the country's current population, as well as major events that were expected to happen and were currently happening. There was also the degree of spread of the virus in the country.
The cultivation of the virus was very simple. First, the player would give it a name. Then, they would choose a place where it would appear. Then, they would let it slowly spread the infection. As the number of infected people increased, they would receive evolution points. Then, they would enter the virus's evolution interface and upgrade the virus' abilities …
For example, upgrading the transmission method would be through birds or rats. In different areas, different environments, different transmission methods would have different effects.
Upgrading twice could even make birds go crazy. They would take the initiative to attack other creatures and spread the virus.
Or it could evolve into diseases. Coughing, sweating, pustules, and so on would expand the infection. There were also more hidden methods. The virus could be spread through water or air. It was impossible to guard against.
This game was very interesting. If it was really just a game.
Penghou treated it as a real game to pass time. The game time was synchronized with reality.
When he named the virus, he used his own name. This was why when the virus was detected by the golden needle, it had such a strange name.
After two months of game development, he had already cultivated the virus into a very strong concealment and transmission ability. Four billion people in the world were infected. Other than a few countries, such as Iceland and New Zealand, other countries were more or less invaded by the virus. This was especially true for China and India. The infection rate was as high as 99%.
If it weren't for the fact that Penghou hadn't evolved any symptoms yet, the people of these two countries would've fallen sick in an instant. If the virus had evolved into a lethal state, it would've caused the deaths of billions of people.
Fortunately, Lan Mu discovered it in time, otherwise …
After interrogating him, Penghou showed a confused expression. Isn't this just a game? Why did it alert the country's agents?
Lan Mu couldn't help but laugh. He had Luo Yan put the phone away without any effort.
"This phone is a prohibited item, but we won't let you lose it for nothing. I'll transfer 100,000 RMB to your account as compensation"
Penghou was currently in dire straits, 100,000 RMB was already a huge sum for him.
After easily obtaining the anomaly, Lan Mu and Luo Yan left.
"I'll have Bai Ze seal this phone, no one can touch it. Also, I'll temporarily postpone the plan to deal with the anomaly in the Northeast. I need to first purify the Penghou virus that has spread all over the world"
"You see, according to the game, the virus itself has a certain probability of mutating. If it mutates and causes severe symptoms, half of the world's population will die …"
Fortunately, this was a virus cultivation game, not a doomsday creation game. Lan Mu's [Holy Light of Angels] was the nemesis of all viruses, so he had a solution.
Now that he had found the source of the virus and controlled it, he only needed to let [Holy Light of Angels] wander around the world to completely eliminate this man-made virus.
"But why do I keep feeling like something isn't right?" Lan Mu pondered.
Luo Yan also spoke up: "This person is indeed very strange. First of all, his image is completely different from before, he's too skinny! He used to be a fat man! However, even if he succeeded in losing weight, he still suddenly resigned and didn't look for a job in his hometown, which really surprised me "
"That's right … why didn't he look for a job? In my previous impression, he was a person who was very positive about his work, worked very hard, and wanted to earn money. Why would he resign from Modu and come to a small city to waste his time as a jobless vagrant? "Lan Mu pondered.
Luo Yan suddenly realized and said: "Master, perhaps he knew that there was no need for him to look for a job, and that looking for a job was a waste of time"
Lan Mu suddenly realized. This explanation was very reasonable, which meant that he knew about the dangers of the virus, as well as the fact that the virus was real and would eventually destroy humanity, so there was no point for him to look for a job.
Clapping his hands, Lan Mu thought of even more things.
"He resigned on the 16th of February and returned to his hometown, right?"
"That's right …"
Lan Mu understood. Two months ago, Lord Peng had already obtained the anomaly. Perhaps at first, he truly believed that it was only a game, but on the 14th of February, when the angel Gabriel was born, he cleansed the entire Europe and even North Africa. This game would naturally show this event, as well as the fact that [Holy Light] eliminated a large number of viruses.
Even an idiot would realize that this wasn't just a standalone game, right?
In fact, Lord Peng did realize that the virus was real, so he resigned two days later and stopped looking for a job.
Because he knew that the trigger for the apocalypse was in his hands.
"He's lying! He was acting earlier! "
What do you mean he's down and out? He doesn't want to work for anyone anymore!
What diet? The virus must be inside his body!
He had Luo Yan take out the phone again, but the result was different …
"Rarity: 0.001, Evaluation: A normal Xiaomi phone."
"I've been tricked!"
Lan Mu was enraged, he hadn't been tricked in a long time.
The continuous and easy containment had caused him to underestimate the owner of the anomaly. He even compensated the owner with 100,000 RMB, but now Lan Mu wanted his life.
He used his mental power to search for Lord Peng, but he had already escaped.
"He's no longer in Jiujiang …"
"Damn it, this person is too dangerous. He can unbind the phone from the game, which means that he still has the method to evolve the virus. Once he evolves the virus to a lethal level, Hwa Xia will become a land of death … the world will lose half of its population … this is unforgivable!"
"I have to find him! But … even if I do, I'm afraid he'll threaten me with the lives of 4 billion people … Yes, time is of the essence, I have to cleanse the world as soon as possible! "
Knowing what he needed to do, Lan Mu explained the situation to Luo Yan and rushed into the sky.
