Virus Throne

The four-hour flight was dull and boring, and everyone was drowsy.

At the beginning, some people forced themselves to smile and chat, but the voices became quieter and quieter.

Only Xu Youran and Lianna occasionally made some cold jokes to attract hatred.

The cabin was crowded and stuffy, which made Xu Youran want to push the door open and walk out, and fly away on the flying sword.

However, this was a collective action, and the result of doing so would probably be that they would be fired on the spot and torn to pieces.

At noon, they finally arrived at Manaus in the heart of the Amazon forest.

The transport plane of the new students was the last batch to land. The moment the cabin door was opened, warm and humid air mixed with heat waves rolled in directly.

The international airport in Manaus was converted into a military airport, and the new students who walked out of the cabin in a line all felt a burst of heat.

This place is closer to the equator, and the temperature is much higher than that of the 0055021 base.

In the early days of the catastrophe, this city was once bloodbathed by a group of mutant beasts in the Amazon jungle because it was not prepared.

However, with the rise of the cult, in order to find more spiritual stones, discover more relics, and provide a training place for students.

The strong men of the cult went out and regained control of the city from the claws of the mutant beasts.

A large number of masters were stationed in this city to deter the mutant beasts around.

It is said that there are more than ten four-time awakeners, and there is a five-time awakener again, and there are even more three-time awakeners.

In order to provide better life security services for these awakeners, the cult forcibly relocated more than 100,000 ordinary people to live here.

Rather than saying that this is a city, it is more like a fortress, a war fortress built in the heart of the Amazon jungle.

In terms of scale, the city is not large, and before the disaster, it had a population of more than 1.7 million.

But its importance to the cult is second only to Rio de Janeiro.

Manaus is the capital of Amazonas State, Brazil. It is located at the confluence of the Black River and the Solimões River (a tributary of the Amazon River), with an area of ​​14,337 square kilometers. It is known as the "Heart of the Amazon" and the "Forest City".

The water of the Black River is espresso-colored, and the water of the Solimões River is yellow. Due to different specific gravity and flow rates, the two rivers are black and yellow on the river surface of tens of kilometers at the confluence, and they do not offend each other, which has become a major landscape.

Although the sphere of influence of the cult is almost everywhere in South America, there are always some awakened people who yearn for freedom and are unwilling to join the cult.

But these awakened people also need military merits and materials. They use military merits and materials to exchange the use time of training equipment with the cult.

There is no doubt that Manaus is their first choice. It can provide safe shelter and will not be disturbed by mutant beasts.

It is close to the Amazon jungle, and teams can be formed at any time to enter the jungle to hunt mutant beasts.

At least tens of thousands of awakened people gathered in Manaus from all directions of the South American continent.

This place is not only a war fortress, but also a paradise for free awakeners and adventurers.

Here you can see people of all skin colors, religious beliefs, and reasons for appearing here.

The military transport plane arrived at noon, and the instructor announced the disbandment on the spot, and gathered two hours later to enter the formal trial.

These two hours can be free to move in Manaus, giving all students the last chance to replenish resources.

New students can also find the hunter teams in Manaus that often go in and out of the Amazon jungle within these two hours, learn about the precautions, and increase their chances of survival.

Although some new students were forced to join the training camp, under the powerful force of the cult, no one should want to run away halfway.

In the only city in the heart of the jungle, the only way to enter and exit is by military aircraft.

Of course, you can also escape through the jungle.

However, if you have the courage and ability to cross the jungle, why run?

Xu Youran and the others have neither money nor military merits.

But since you have come to this world-famous tourist city, you have to walk around casually, at least to understand the situation.

The next time they come here, they won't be in such a poor situation.

There used to be three very famous tourist attractions in this city, the Customs Building (bricks and tiles are all imported from the UK), the Manaus Grand Theater, and the Indian Museum.

Now the branch of the cult stationed here occupies the Customs Building as its office.

Countless free awakeners have chosen the Manaus Grand Theater as a temporary gathering place.

Entering the city from the military airport, the two seemed to have returned to the slums of Rio de Janeiro.

The streets are full of bustling crowds, buying and selling everything, and countless awakeners are passing through the streets.

The prosperity of this small city is even comparable to the rich areas of Rio de Janeiro, but the level is similar to that of the slums.

The closer you get to the Manaus Grand Theater, the denser the flow of people. Although it is not crowded, it is definitely at the level of a vegetable market.

The Manaus Grand Theater is a tall and elegant European-style building, and countless awakeners regard it as a paradise for free trade.

Everyone exchanges information here, where groups of mutant beasts have appeared, where traces of gold-level mutant beasts have been found, where there may be relics...

Surrounding the Manaus Grand Theater are endless vendors. Just spread a piece of rag on the street, put a few goods or materials, and you can start doing business.

However, because it is too crowded, conflicts often break out. The stronger the strength, the better the location, and the better the things.

Teams of awakened cult members, wearing green armbands, patrol the streets.

There are also many ordinary soldiers holding hot weapons in their hands to maintain basic order.

For low-level awakened people, hot weapons still have very strong lethality.

However, the cult does not charge fees for doing business in the cult's territory, and can maintain the basic order of the entire city, which is already the most benevolent.

Few people are blind and make trouble here.

Xu Youran knows very well that he will come to Manaus every month for training in the future, and this will be a place he will visit frequently in the future.

So even though the environment here is noisy and dirty, he still takes Liana around to familiarize himself with the terrain first.

He also found that the closer the vendors are to the Manaus Grand Theater, the stronger they are.

And I don’t know whether these are fakes brought by these awakened people, or there are indeed many relics in the Amazon jungle.

Products of unknown civilization technology are sold everywhere, but most of them are defective or simply fake, useless.

Broken equipment, weapons, equipment, various parts and materials of unknown use, and even medicines, such as Dali Pills, Vajra Pills, and Ecstasy Powder, with instructions.

It was really eye-opening to arrive here, which made Xu Youran and the others amazed. As the awakened ones of the new human beings, they were so thick-skinned.

Along the way, Xu Youran also saw many senior students shopping in the market. Some people really traded those junk with money or military merits.

Xu Youran knew from a scan of his consciousness that they were basically all junk, and had nothing to do with the technology of unknown civilization.

Occasionally, a few pieces or some of them were very broken corners and fragments, maybe picked up from the garbage dump of the ruins.

Some people even took a few broken stones, disguised them as spiritual stones, and sold them for 50,000 Daqin coins each.

Xu Youran couldn't help shaking his head. Anyone who buys things here is really a donkey kicking his brain.

There is only one person who has awakened five times in the whole Manaus, and he is in charge of the customs building.

So Xu Youran boldly released his spiritual sense and swept it all over the place. The situation within a radius of three kilometers was clearly reflected in his sea of ​​consciousness.

His focus was on the goods on these stalls, and he wanted to see if there was a chance to pick up bargains.

When he walked into the Manaus Grand Theater, it was even more crowded. There was a huge light curtain on the wall at the entrance.

The light curtain was full of team formation information, and the basic principle was to form a team of three.

Even if they went to explore farther places or hunt powerful mutant beasts, they would form multiple teams of three to form a team to go out.

Here Xu Youran found several people who had awakened four times, including members of the cult with armbands and free awakeners.

Those members of the cult with red armbands were all well-dressed instructors in the core training camp.

But here they just spread a piece of rag on the ground and sold some rags and fragments.

Because they wore the red armband of the cult, some people were really fooled.

Xu Youran's way of identifying these broken equipment and materials is completely different from other awakened people.

Other awakened people use mental power to explore and stimulate, test and distinguish the authenticity, while Xu Youran uses spiritual consciousness to test.

Xu Youran knows very well that the technology of unknown civilization is either a product of mechanical civilization or a product of cultivation civilization.

Mechanical civilization products require a strong power source, which means burning spirit stones.

This is a bit painful for Xu Youran now, but he is reluctant to do it.

Products of cultivation civilization require spiritual consciousness or true energy to stimulate, and these two powers are not a problem for Xu Youran.

So his main direction of picking up leaks now is products of cultivation civilization.

The coverage of spiritual consciousness is very wide, but if he wants to explore all the goods of every stall owner, it takes too much time and energy, and he doesn't have that much time now.

However, after a rough scan of the spiritual consciousness, he did find some equipment that seemed to be usable.

Some of these equipment should be magic weapons, some are weapons, and some are talismans or rare materials.

Although Xu Youran was jealous, he was too timid to do anything but secretly drool.

I hope these things won't be sold out when he comes next time.

"Huh!" When his consciousness scanned the Manaus Grand Theater, he made a major discovery.

There was something on the stall of a free awakener that attracted his attention.

He was a fourth-time awakener, short and strong, with brown skin, and should be a local mixed-race.

Maybe there were always people walking around and messing up his stall.

He carefully took a piece of rusty iron and pressed it on the corner of the rag.

Xu Youran had a clear understanding of all the things on the stall. Except for fakes, they were worthless scraps.

Only the rusty piece of broken iron was the real treasure, and it was a treasure that was vital to Xu Youran.
