Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 168 Symptoms and Pathology

The cacophonous episodes of battle are quickly interrupted by a new influx of enemies.

Before thinking clearly about the possible consequences, Martin had to focus on the difficulties in front of him, otherwise these things would send him to the arms of the Lord to think fully.

Kraft's tactic is simple to say but difficult to execute.

The main difficulty in dealing with these things is that it is difficult to predict, and even the more experienced people are, the easier it is to be misled. It is necessary to rely on reactions to dodge and accurately counterattack. Only a few people here can do it.

Because of this, he noticed Kraft's swordsmanship characteristics.

Different from some fancy moves that have gradually deviated from practicality, they are just simple and straightforward moves, mostly seen in the hands of local upstarts who have been entrusted for two generations and have no accumulation, and their popularity is higher than that of breastplates.

Without fine design and skills, it focuses on ensuring the display of strength. It is likely to be born out of some low-cost, slashing weapons for beginners. After being absorbed, some practical tips are added to facilitate the use of lighter but more flexible swords. It has become a style that does not belong to the genre.

Martin has encountered similar people, and according to the instructor's personal wild way, there are all kinds of differences, but the unity is brutal and straightforward, forcing the other party to enter the routine of competing fast and ruthlessly, even if there is any skill, it is not easy to fight in such a battle play in.

The new emeritus professor of Rivers University, the foundation of swordsmanship obviously comes from this, and the overall style is very..."Chimera" style-he can only think of this word to describe it.

On this basis, various elements full of personal characteristics are stitched together, and it tends to look like a very dangerous evasive action, which is precise and has a margin, and seems to be on guard against several possible attacks at any time.

His moves are more conservative than most veterans, but he also pays great attention to strength.I can't think of what needs to create it, just like the chimera with the head of a lion and the body of a sheep with a snake tail, the unrealistic suture monster is composed of conflicting things, and it fights with things that have no realistic counterparts.

But the effect of dealing with these inhuman things is very good.

They cooperated to control seven or eight bodies, piercing and fixing them to the ground with the weapons left behind.The unknown thing that controls the movement seems to behave more rigidly, as long as the limbs can still be used, it will continue to struggle to control the body in a relatively "frugal" manner.

This allowed Kraft to rule out a worse conjecture, that is, there are behind-the-scenes manipulators with advanced intelligence; or there are, but they cannot replace thinking and troubleshooting.

The few unclaimed weapons were used up, and the retainers began to tear open the tent and pull out skeletons to replace them.These wooden poles to be stuck in the soil are sharp at one end, almost like a short spear, just for emergency use, and the broken cloth is thrown into the fire to fuel the fire.

After overturning half of the tent and using the brackets, the field of vision became clear, and there were more than a dozen fairly complete humanoid fungus clusters on the ground.This strange strategy really effectively controlled their number, the pressure on the team gradually eased, and the balance of numerical superiority tilted towards the defensive side, which made the progress of tactical coordination easier and more efficient.

The last intact boarding body fell to the ground under the siege of several people, and several wooden poles were inserted into the torso, making it a shooting range arrow stack.

They watched the forest nervously and vigilantly until they were sure that no more beautiful figure came out.A knight in full armor knelt down in the dust, opened his helmet mask and gasped, choking out the sound of crying, cursing or laughing from his throat, some kind of extreme emotional catharsis that did not contain any meaning.Then the behavior was contagious in the camp, and one after another they fell to their knees, silent or shapeless crying and laughing, amidst terrible coughing and panting louder than hell's frying pan.

Martin didn't stop them, an understandable reaction considering he had just survived an unimaginable attack.Even if there may still be threats, they need timely and appropriate venting to ensure that they will not collapse on the spot.

In fact, he also wanted to growl or smash something, to release some kind of gloomy oppression that was stuck in his throat and made people want to tear the windpipe and take out the heart and lungs to get rid of it, but that had to be placed after his duties as the team leader.

After patrolling around, Martin thoughtfully added wooden poles to the unstable body. Martin came to Kraft, who was thinking, and coughed lightly to attract attention. "I thought about it carefully, but I don't need to worry too much."

"what?"

"About what you mentioned just now, the corpses left behind." Leaning on his sword and glancing at the still struggling body, he said with certainty, "There are a few here and there, I believe Westminster can handle it by itself. But only if they can escape through the locked doors."

"Martin, do you understand coughing?" Kraft didn't comment on what he said, but brought up something irrelevant.

"of course."

"No, you don't understand."

It is very confusing, and it is quite suitable for the speech of a professor. Those scholars who are either bald or old in the university say this way of going around a few times, which is called arousing thinking.Unexpectedly, Kraft also contracted this problem after hanging out with them for a long time.

"Then what's the matter with the cough?"

"Uh, I had a itchy throat, and then I coughed." This question was quite simple, but there was no way to answer it, which made Martin habitually feel itchy on the top of his head, but he scratched his helmet, "A cough is a cough."

"Cough is a symptom." For the sake of understanding, Kraft changed the word, "or 'manifestation', something that should not be in the respiratory passage appears in it, causing the cough. These factors are very It can be complicated, it can be blight, mucus drip, food choking, intrathoracic sarcoma, or even acid reflux in the stomach. Some are mild, some can be fatal, but they can all manifest as coughing.”

"Do you understand?"

"I think I understand." Martin vaguely realized that what Kraft was talking about was not irrelevant to the status quo.

Thinking for a while to organize the language, Kraft continued, "Some doctors will prescribe some syrup, hawthorn, mint, etc., which are good for the oropharynx. After taking it, the effect will be effective immediately, and the cough will be relieved. This only solves the cough. It doesn't make any sense, and instead it may be developing unknowingly because of the self-righteous masking of symptoms."

"The thing about these mushrooms is coughing. A symptom that is different from the normal, healthy world, and the symptoms will never appear for no reason." His eyes reflected the shells reflected by the fire, and they struggled for a long time. To a bluntly comical effect, "All we do now is drink peppermint hawthorn cough syrup. Controlling fungus-infested corpses, preparing villages to burn."

Martin looked in the direction of the village, where he could only see a thread-like path leading to a pagan church guarded by mushrooms, "You mean we have to find the 'cause'?"

"If we want to deal with it thoroughly, we have to know more. At least there must be more 'symptoms' that can help us deduce the pathology."

"And what I'm most worried about now is another thing. A pathogenic factor can behave differently in different parts of the body." Kraft did not hide his worries at all. The defense in the conventional sense has doubts about the effect of deep penetration.

"I hope Westminster is the kind of organ with higher resistance and less damage. After all, it is the most important organ, and half of my students are still there."
