Chapter 108 Death Plague
By the time he got home, his father's anger had subsided.

After dinner, he said hello to his father and went straight upstairs.

Next up is the Horror Games course.

Lin Ji couldn't complain about the horrific game experience forced by the Human Empire. It was simply mental torture.

He still remembers that when he first experienced it, the immersive and terrifying atmosphere scared him so much that he had nightmares for several nights.

But this was the request of the Imperial Church, and he, a commoner, had no right to refuse.

A month later.

Looking at the comprehensive test score on the report card in his hand, Lin Ji helplessly shook his head.

The test results are out, and the results are as expected.

His grades would not allow him to get into Imperial City, or even the schools near Imperial City.

Xiandu Island Pier 1.

In accordance with the requirements of the Logistics Corps, they moved to the Immortal Island below their feet, became the first human residents here, and cultivated spiritual plants for the empire.

As expected, he was defeated again.

Sitting by the grave, Lin Ji drank the wine he brewed and recounted the outstanding performance of his daughter "Lin Xi" with a slightly blushing face.

"See you on the video call too. I'll have food and drink here for the rest of my life. Don't worry about me. Study hard in the future. It's best to become the God's Chosen Warrior. From now on, it's up to you whether your father can show off on the island. ”

In contrast, Lin Yi wanted to stay here.

The following year, Lin Ji applied for the exam again at his father's request.

"Dad, please take care. I will study hard when I go to Kuangfeng Academy and bring glory to you."

"Didn't do well in the exam?"

"I beat you to death."

However, my father was not good at studying at all. After many failures, he finally chose the spiritual plant technology training school on the island. There was no possibility of climbing up in this life.

The human empire does not raise idlers. Although he can continue to retake the exam after failing twice, he already has a task indicator and needs to follow his father to maintain the spiritual field every day.

At this time, Lin Ji was already 56 years old. Due to overwork in planting spiritual fields, his temples were now gray and his figure was slightly stooped.

His father implemented his grandfather's idea and hoped that he could go to the prosperous Imperial City.

Be recruited to become a migrant, or learn spiritual plant cultivation techniques at the school on this resource island at your feet.

Although the migrants are treated well, they have to follow the logistics corps to the new resource islands of mankind, where they will open up wasteland and become new residents of the resource islands.

Lin Ji stood on the shore, waving and watching his daughter leave until the ship disappeared at the end of the sea level.

There were two choices before him.

After a long time, the ship blew its whistle and the girl had to board the ship. She only took three steps and looked back, her eyes full of reluctance.

Hearing these words, the girl had tears in her eyes:

Hearing these words, the girl burst into tears and smiled:

After returning home with his report card and seeing his father's expectant eyes, Lin Ji laughed awkwardly:

They are his grandparents, father, mother, and his wife.

"Dad, I will definitely give you a face and let you show off."

After this failure, his father Lin Kuang finally gave up on his expectations and resigned to his fate, leaving behind the idea of ​​planting spiritual plants.

In the third year, Lin Ji tried again, but still failed.

43 years later.

There are five tombstones erected here.

"Dad, will we ever have the chance to meet again in this life?"

In the evening, the forest traces came to the hillside at the end of the plain.

Looking at the young and beautiful girl in front of him, Lin Ji nodded happily:

"You are the most promising person in our Lin family. It's a pity that your grandfather passed away early, otherwise he would have been extremely happy."

Lin Kuang heard this and reached out to grab the shovel leaning against the wall, with anger on his face:

I heard from my father that my grandfather was a migrant back then.

"Dad, actually... Imperial City is too far away. I still like to stay with you and take care of you in your old age."

time flies.

Realizing that the danger was approaching, Lin Ji turned around and rushed out of the door, shouting:

"What's wrong with not passing the exam? I just like farming."

This expectation was transmitted to him after his birth.

……

At that time, grandpa also wanted his father to leave Xiandu Island and go to Imperial City for further study.

The past events came to mind, and my eyes turned red unconsciously.

As a time traveler, Lin Ji always felt that he was quite hopeless, doing nothing in his life, and would eventually end up in the ordinary.

But when he thought of his daughter Lin Xi, he couldn't help but smile.

At least he raised an excellent daughter.

"Xi Xi left, and suddenly I felt a little lonely."

Looking up at his wife's tombstone, Lin Ji murmured, a tear falling from his reddish eyes.

……

Two months later.

Lin Yi, who was checking the growth of spiritual plants in the spiritual field, saw a young figure running in the distance.

"Old Lin, something big happened."

"What's wrong?" Lin Ji put down the spiritual plant scissors, stood up and looked at the young figure in confusion.

"The alien invasion war has begun. The sea area next door has fallen. The death plague is spreading towards our island. The main force of the empire is on the front line. Our defense here is weak and we are afraid it will be over."

At this point, the young man's face turned pale.

Hearing these words, Lin Ji was not panicked, but even felt a little happy inside.

Fortunately, Xixi had left early, otherwise a large-scale alien invasion war would basically end in death.

In fact, Lin Ji felt that he was already very lucky.

I have never encountered a large-scale invasion war until now.

"Prepare some food. We may have to hide in the underground shelter for a while. I'm going to inform the others. I don't know if you have been living at ease for too long and don't wear a communicator with you, so I have to inform the others in person."

After complaining, the young man hurried to the next spiritual field breeding area.

Lin Yi also returned home at this time, went to prepare food, and hid in the underground shelter when notified.

Lin Ji had already taken a dim view of death.

The average age of human beings in this world is less than 35 years old. If he can live to 56 years old, he is already an old man. This life is enough.

But after Lin Xi was born, he felt that life had a new meaning.

He didn't want to die like this, he also wanted to see Lin Xi's future growth.

three days later.

A notice from the God's Punishment Legion arrived, requiring residents on the island to take shelter in underground shelters 1-13.

Linji was assigned to Shelter No. 4 and was responsible for the temporary management of the shelter.

The next day, Lin Ji received news from the soldiers of the Divine Punishment Legion at the shelter that the Dead Ran Clan had invaded the Disha Sea.

Although the Xiandu Island where he is located is not the direction where the main force of the Dead Ran Clan is advancing, the black mist of the death plague released by the Dead Ran Clan has spread to Xiandu Island. The God's Punishment Warriors require that all residents on the island are not allowed to go out.

Less than a day later, when Lin Ji contacted the outside world again as the person in charge of Shelter 4, he found that he could no longer contact the God's Punishment Warriors.

Opening the drone surveillance screen connected to the outside world, he found that the entire Xiandu Island had been wrapped in polluted black mist.

When he controlled the drone to fly to the lookout area where the God's Punishment Warriors were on duty, he saw hundreds of rotting and dead corpses. All the God's Punishment Warriors stationed there had been wiped out.

The pollution intensity of the black mist of plague is far beyond imagination.

What worries Lin Yi even more is that the black mist of the plague has terrible corrosive power and is gradually penetrating the air purification barrier of the shelter.

In just one day, the energy of the purification barrier dropped by 13%. According to this trend, the black mist of the plague will penetrate into the shelter in a week, and no one here will be spared by then.

Faced with a desperate situation, Lin Ji had no choice.

The entire sea area is falling. Even if the troops stationed there take action, Xiandu Island cannot be the priority rescue target.

There are only two options before us.

Stay here and wait for death, or wait for the black fog of the plague to dissipate.

a few days later.

The damage rate of the space barrier reached 67.3%. Just when Lin Ji thought that he and everyone in the sanctuary would definitely die, he found a box of spiritual ore in the sanctuary's warehouse.

This discovery gave Lin Ji hope to survive.

With this batch of ore, it is enough for everyone to support it for a longer time.

On that day, Lin Ji called a few old friends to replace the crystal stones on the air barrier formation, so that the damage of the formation could be repaired to 100%.

But after three weeks of such days, the crisis struck again.

The air barrier can still be maintained, the spiritual stones are still in stock, and each household carries enough food to last 3-4 months.

But strands of corrosive black mist were transmitted from the rock layer outside the space barrier.

There were coughing sounds in the small shelter. Those who coughed generally turned black, and clearly visible black lines appeared on their necks.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, Lin Ji immediately ordered the construction of a temporary spiritual isolation room in the shelter to isolate these mildly infected people from the uninfected to prevent the further spread of the plague.

After days like this lasted for a few days, Lin Ji soon discovered that the situation was gradually getting out of control.

Although mildly infected people are quarantined, the black mist of the plague is still seeping in little by little. Isolation treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and more and more infected people appear.

The number has increased from 3 in the first batch to 21 now.

What's even more frightening is that abscesses have appeared on the bodies of the first batch of infected people, and the plague pollution has penetrated into their blood, causing their bodies to turn black, and the most severe cases have begun to cough up blood.

If this trend continues, everyone will die here.

In a desperate situation, Lin Ji did not give up and tried to use the remaining spiritual stones to build a spiritual energy barrier.

Although doing this will speed up the consumption of spiritual stones, otherwise they will all die here.

The time came one month later.

There are a total of 3402 people in the shelter, and nearly half of them have been infected with the death plague.

Although there are medical personnel stationed in the shelter, with their abilities and equipment, they are unable to treat or control the harm of the plague to the infected.

The first deaths in the shelter followed, totaling 129 people.

Faced with a desperate situation, Lin Ji had no choice.

The black fog of pollution is still shrouding the island, and the only way out at this time is to die.

But those who stay will face the mental torture of waiting for death, and the spread of pollution will also accelerate.

Half a month later, widespread death occurred.

Lin Ji lay in the isolation room, looking at the pale-faced people around him, and his mood hit rock bottom.

Now isolation rooms are no longer used to isolate infected people, but to protect the few dozen remaining uninfected people.

Lin Ji was as disheartened as everyone else.

Xiandu Island is not a core resource point. So far, no legion of the Human Empire has come to save it. Their persistence has reached the end of its rope.

three days later.

Waking up from a deep sleep, Lin Ji opened his bloodshot eyes.

He bent down and stood up, but suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness coming over him.

He subconsciously looked at his wrist.

I saw a faint black line on my wrist.

Realizing that the power of the death plague was eroding his body, Lin Ji let out a long sigh. He knew that he could not escape the plague in the end.

There is not much time left for him.

If he can last for a month at most, he will become the next batch of people to die from contamination.

Walking out of the light curtain room built with spiritual stones, there were wailing and low-pitched sobbing everywhere outside.

Walking through the contaminated crowd, he came to the control room that he had not been to for a long time.

Turn on the computer, and through the footage from the surveillance drone, you can clearly see that black fog is still shrouding Xiandu Island, and all the vegetation on the island is dead and lifeless.

Miracles did not happen.

The island is still shrouded in the black fog of the plague, and the last hope of survival is shattered.

Sighing, he turned off the computer and walked out of the monitoring room. He glanced at the pile of corpses piled in the corner, his bloodshot eyes trembling slightly.

How much he wanted to continue living and witness the growth of his daughter Lin Xi.

But his life eventually came to an end.

When he came to a corner and sat down, Lin Ji looked at his right wrist.

Black lines are spreading and will soon destroy the body's immune system and parasitize the body.

At that time, he will also be sentenced to death until the pollution completely corrodes his body.

The process of waiting for death is difficult.

Born on Xiandu Island, where spiritual energy is abundant and spiritual plants grow, his physical fitness is pretty good. Although he does not meet the standards for going to the front line, he has never suffered from major or minor illnesses in his life.

But he didn't expect that the first illness he got was a fatal plague of death.

Half a day later.

Lin Ji suddenly started coughing uncontrollably.

He could clearly feel that a cold substance was seeping into his body, destroying his body functions.

Observing with the fluoroscopy machine carried by the medical team, it can be seen that the organs in the body have been stained with a layer of black, which gradually spreads throughout the body.

At this point, Lin Ji had given up hope of survival.

No matter how hard you persist, there is no point. Death pollution has seeped into the body. There is a high probability that there is no antidote for this disease.

Even if the Legion soldiers suddenly arrive and this resource island can be recovered, there is no chance of saving his life.

Although human medical technology is advanced, there are still a large number of unsolvable diseases.

There are many kinds of abilities such as Curse and Plague. Humans can develop treatments to restrain some abilities, but most of them are still untreatable diseases. If there may be a way to isolate and treat the plague before it penetrates into the body, it can wait. Plague infiltrating the body is basically a death sentence.

Three days later, Lin Ji started vomiting blood.

Before he died, he recorded a voice message for Lin Xi, telling her his love and farewell.

At the last moment of his life, Lin Ji lay in the corner of the shelter, quietly waiting for death to come.

The dizziness became more and more intense, and the body became light and airy.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, a large amount of information flooded into his mind.

[The power of disease is activated. 】

Ability introduction: Can absorb power from infected diseases, plagues, curses and other disease-related abilities.

[Infected with the "Death Plague", the power of the plague begins to be extracted to strengthen the body. 】

Death Plague:

Plague intensity: Level 2

Energy intake for disease: 213 points.

……

In Lin Ji's surprised expression, the energy value of the disease suddenly dropped from 213 to 212.

Then, a piece of information came to his mind.

[The death plague energy extraction value is 1, and the physical fitness increase is +1, and the remaining 212 points can be used to extract the power of the disease. 】

At this time, the energy intake value of the disease drops again.

[The death plague energy extraction value is 1, and the mental strength increase is +1, and the remaining 211 points can be used to extract the power of the disease. 】

Linji:......
