Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 40 Shadow
After listening to Kate's explanation, Xia Feng already understood the quality division of the origin stone.

Xia Feng raised the dim light in his hand.

"It seems that the origin stone in this game is a B-level origin stone?"

"Yes."

Xia Feng stared at the dim light carefully.

"Just now you seemed to say that B-level origin stones also contain origin stone ingredients, so isn't there a possibility of infection?"

Kate smiled honestly.

"No, you are wrong, in fact, this is the point I want to say."

"Oh?"

"No matter what kind of source stone it is, after it is processed into the final finished source stone, there will be a layer of special substance attached to its surface. This special substance will completely isolate the pathogenic radiation emitted by the source stone, even if ordinary people hold it in their hands. It will not be infected with ore disease at all."

"Huh? Then why don't we use it?"

Kate immediately interrupted Xia Feng's words.

"I know what you want to say. Why don't we wrap our bodies with this special substance. In fact, our masks contain this substance. However, people generally have a misunderstanding about Origin Stone."

Xia Feng immediately became interested.

"What mistake?"

"Most people think that the culprit of ore disease is the source stone, but it is not accurate. Untreated source stones do give people a chance to be infected with ore disease, but the probability is not high. It really makes people infected with ore The sick thing is the element contained in the air after the natural disaster. There is no such thing as origin stone in the world, but after the disaster destroys the city, the remaining elements in the air will destroy the growth of the origin stone, so the real culprit is the natural disaster, and The appearance of the origin stone is more like compensation for the world after the natural disaster."

Xia Feng suddenly realized.

It turned out that he had always thought of the origin stone as terrible. The real cause of ore disease was the element left in the air after the natural disaster, and this disease-causing element promoted the growth of the origin stone. Humans are infected because the surface of the untreated origin stone contains that pathogenic element, but the content is very small, as long as it is wrapped with a special substance, there will be no problem at all.

The reason why the members of the Glasgow Gang were infected before was because the Origin Stones they transported had not been processed and were semi-finished Origin Stones, which led to the occurrence of such a small probability of infection.

After listening to Kate's explanation, Xia Feng understood one thing.

Kate may have been a fighting doctor before joining the gangsters, and his understanding of Origin Stone is too good.

At this moment, Xia Feng suddenly noticed something flashing beside the street.

He stopped and brought the dim light in his hand over.

At the corner of a dilapidated wall, a glistening object that resembled a frozen water splash came into view.

The thing was crystal clear, with a yellowish shimmer reflecting off the core.

Xia Feng pointed to the corner of the wall.

"What it is?"

Wei Na walked to Xia Feng's side, and when she saw the thing in the corner, a gleam flashed in her eyes.

"This is the origin stone cluster!"

Hearing Wei Na's voice, everyone stopped and came over.

This thing Wei Na called "Origin Stone Cluster" was a little bigger than the palm of your hand, and looked more like a petrified aloe, except that its leaves were golden yellow and square.

Everyone stared at the small origin stone cluster, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Wei Na gently stretched out her hand forward, and her fingertips stopped when they were less than 1 centimeter away from the origin stone clump.

"Oh, it is such a seemingly insignificant thing, but its value can equal the income of ordinary people struggling for 10 years."

Hearing Wei Na's emotion, Xia Feng thought secretly in his heart.

It is also this seemingly insignificant thing that can make countless people willing to risk their lives to come here.

Verna stood up.

"Okay, let's keep going, it's not safe here, we have to rush to City E first."

Wei Na was not tempted by immediate benefits. Although she was the only one in the city now, no one knew when other forces would arrive. They had to hurry up. Only when they reached the relatively safe E city could they start to feel at ease. Start gathering sourcestone clusters.

The team started walking again, Xia Feng picked up the dim light, and took Guigui's little hand to walk in the middle of the team.

Walked for about 30 minutes.

The surrounding buildings became obviously taller, and the street became wider. Wei Na walked to the side of the street and raised her hand to wipe off the dust on a street sign.

The signs on the street signs are barely discernible.

【MDER-MS-7】

MDER stands for Mandel City, M stands for the main city, S stands for the direction, and 7 stands for the street. Obviously, they have now passed through City A and reached the 7th Street in the South District, which is located in the center of Mandel City.

Wei Na looked around, and there was a wide area similar to a square in front of her. If she continued to go north, there would be many forks in the road.

"Everyone take a break first."

"Yes."

Wei Na looked at ACE.

"Brother ACE, please take charge of your team's vigilance."

Ace nodded.

"no problem."

Then Wei Na called Indra over and whispered to her.

"Indra, you go ahead to explore the road and see which is the shortest road to the northern city. If possible, it's best to climb to a high place to see which road can lead directly to the E city."

"clear."

Indra nodded in response.

Xia Feng next to him asked worriedly.

"Let Indra explore the way alone? What if you encounter danger?"

"Don't worry, Indra is not only good at fighting, but also has top-notch investigative ability. It would be more efficient for her to act alone."

Xia Feng looked at Indra.

"Then be careful."

Indra glanced at him without speaking, turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Everyone stood still and began to drink water and organize their equipment.

Xia Feng took Guigui's hand and walked to the side of the street, ready to rest for a while leaning on a street lamp base.

"Tuigui, are you thirsty?"

"A bit."

"Wait, I'll bring out the kettle."

Xia Feng turned his body and was about to take off the water bottle hanging on his back. The moment he turned his head, he suddenly saw a black figure standing there in a corner not far behind him.

Xia Feng hesitated for a moment, then frowned, and moved the dim light forward to see what it was.

Slowly, slowly, he moved the lamp closer.

The entire city was deadly silent, and the surroundings were in darkness, with only dim lights covering the area of ​​sight.

Holding the dim light, Xia Feng stared at the black figure for about two seconds.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank instantly, and the dim light in his hand fell to the ground.

An exclamation came from his mouth.

"I rely on it, it's a human!"

The next second, a big thick hand grabbed the collar behind him, and ACE rushed forward, quickly pulling Xia Feng behind him.

At the same time, Wei Na and Kate also blocked the turtle next to them behind them.

Wei Na pointed the warhammer forward, Kate put the battle ax across her chest, and everyone quickly formed a defensive formation centered on Xia Feng.

Wei Na narrowed her eyes and stared at that corner, a cold voice came out of her mouth.

"Listen everyone, don't hesitate, kill the enemy the moment he shows up!"
