William looked at Dr. Indigo and his pupils shrank slightly. Then he looked at the syringe in Adams's hand. In his heart, he was reluctant to inject something made by these mad scientists into his body, but on the other hand, the green plant toxins in his body needed to be eradicated.
Moreover, although Yarlin never turned around and only showed William his back, William always felt that Yarlin's attention fell on him at this moment.
"Yarlin should want me to accept the injection!"
William thought so in his heart. He squeezed out a smile on his face and took the syringe handed over by Adams. Then he took a deep breath and slowly pierced it into his chest.
He didn't dare to pierce his heart, but just inserted it into the internal cavity and pushed the sticky rust green liquid in. A cool and rough feeling gushed out from his body, as if there were countless wriggling iron scraps parasitized in his body, and the saliva he swallowed had a faint smell of rust.
Corresponding to the goosebumps on his back, William also felt a steel-like force coming out of his breath. He spread out his palm, and countless wriggling rust worms floated out of his pores, like flowing liquid metal, and under his control, they changed shape at will in the palm of his hand.
Sometimes, it would turn into a sharp blade. Sometimes, it would shatter into countless fine iron needles that lined up in front of her. Sometimes, it would turn into flowing satin that surrounded her body, flowing in circles …
"How do you feel?" Yarlin turned to look at William.
William stopped manipulating, and the floating liquid metal reattached back to his pores and drilled into his body. He exhaled a long breath and thanked Yarlin, "It's a very special feeling, combined with my ability, it can improve my strength!"
"I'm glad you like it!" Yarlin patted William on the shoulder and praised him for his actions this time. At the same time, he made some arrangements and explained the next task.
William carefully remembered it in his heart and left the pyramid. His body floated out of the desert from the whirlpool. He stared at the sand whirlpool under his feet that healed again. Looking around, there was no one in the desert, and the drifting sand. Who would know that the bottom of this desert had been hollowed out into a terrifying nest?
"Shichibukai, Sand Crocodile?" William's thoughts were in a mess. Suddenly, he felt a trace of pity and sorrow for the sand crocodile. He could roughly imagine its future.
He collected his chaotic thoughts and flew away from the yellow sand that filled the air.
…
Albana.
The pitter-patter of rain fell. A person who was digging through the trash can in the corner of the alley for food was panting heavily. The passers-by avoided him in disgust.
After a while, the smelly man found a hard steamed bun from the trash can and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to bite into it, his face suddenly changed. His body curled up and squatted on the ground. He threw away the food in his hand and his whole body began to expand violently. He roared like a beast.
The passersby were shocked and cursed. The beggar who was curled up on the ground suddenly got up, revealing a ferocious face full of green stripes. He pounced on the passersby, his dirty claws scratching the muscles of the passersby.
Mournful howls and the smell of blood spread in the rain.
A week later.
Albana was like a dead city. Humanoid creatures with green moss on their faces walked back and forth in the streets like walking corpses. The whole city was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay. The entire capital was tightly sealed by the military.
The isolated refugee camps were being screened one by one. The members of the Nefertari Royal Family who had moved out of the palace were also gathered in a temporary meeting room with worried faces. Apart from them, there were also the high-ranking officials of the country who were gathered together.
Next to the conference room was Alabasta's top doctors. They were testing the blood composition of these big shots, testing the composition of the toxicology, and doing their best to develop an antidote.
"Has the antidote been developed?" King Saka coughed and asked, his eyes were a little frightened.
"It's difficult. The composition of the toxicity is too complicated, and the infection spreads too fast." The officials looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"However, the good news is that a worker in the medical department has tried to develop a buffer that can temporarily suppress the spread of the toxicity. Unfortunately, it can't be mass produced, so there's nothing we can do for the civilians of Albana," the official in charge of the medical department replied.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with messy hair and thick glasses walked in. He was holding an iron plate in his hand, and the plate was filled with light green test tubes.
"This is Dr. Hook from the medical department. This buffer was developed by Dr. Hook. It can temporarily suppress the spread of the toxicity, and the estimated time limit is …" The official from the medical department introduced.
"In two months, as long as you don't continue to come into contact with the toxic rain, you can probably control the spread of the toxin in the body. Hmm … Hmm, we have confirmed that this toxin is spread through rain and fog. During this time, only the capital of Alabasta has rain, so all the infected people are gathered here." Dr. Hook organized his words and replied, and in his heart, he could not help but think of the scene two weeks ago.
He was usually a little eccentric and antisocial, so he was not very popular in the medical department. He belonged to the category of people who were marginalized and ostracized. He had never had any achievements to show, so he could not see any day of success, and his life was really boring.
His life was supposed to follow such a trajectory, and he would remain unknown until the day he died. However, two weeks ago, when he dragged his tired body back home and was about to wash up and go to bed after receiving his wife's daily scolding, an unfamiliar guest came with a gift.
The man was wearing a white coat, and he thought that the other party was also a staff member of the medical department, so he invited the other party into the house, but he could not remember such a person in the medical department.
The other party's whole body was shrouded in a white coat, and his face was as white as metal. He wore a pair of dark sunglasses, but his eyes were very sharp, as if he could see through things.
The other party introduced himself as Adams and stated his purpose for coming. He said some words that sounded crazy to Dr. Hook at the time. The other party said that Alabasta was shrouded in a poisonous rain, and if there was no antidote, strange green spots would appear on everyone's body in the next few weeks, then they would lose their minds and turn into monsters. Finally, they would wither into green mud.
At that time, Dr. Hook didn't believe it at all, but Adams' story was too shocking, so he didn't dare to interrupt. When the other party left, he left behind an iron box filled with green reagents. At the same time, he left behind a sentence. "Most people live their whole lives and die without knowing who they are. But you're different. You're the lucky one who was chosen. As long as you accept this gift, you can become the savior of this country!"
