Chapter 144: Chapter 144
Three carriages bearing the G&D mark, for use exclusively within the organization, stopped outside the grand hall.
The reason they were special was that the overall [Skin Content] of the carriage was over 10%,
by integrating black rosewood, elm, ash, and white wax with skin through a special internal process, they obtained a top-grade timber that could isolate Pathological influences and conceal aura.
Such carriages were often used for important long-distance transport, and many gentlemen who had surpassed the Limit of Man also traveled in these carriages, saving much trouble along the way.
Yi Chen and the two others casually boarded one of them.
The carriage’s interior was quite spacious, designed with upper and lower bunk beds, just like a “four-person sleeper” with an independent bathroom.
The wardrobe that Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
“The environment is really nice~ I feel like staying here for a week would be no problem.”
It was confirmed that there were at least three types of “rooted pathogens” frantically growing in the Grey Domain, and if left unchecked, they might give birth to Open Source Patients.
An eradication and investigation squad arranged by the organization hurried to the destination for the first time and accidentally discovered a [Tunnel] hidden inside the mountain during the mission, thereby interrupting the task to report back to the organization.
3. Diseases of the Grey Zone
The current situation of the three rooted pathogens is as follows:
①. [Black Pus Disease]
Type: General physical infection (can affect all matter except inorganic substances)
Origin and introduction: Erupted in a large village, Mud Swamp Village, several kilometers below the foot of Holy Grail Mountain.
Those infected will grow black tumors on their bodies, are photophobic, and prefer to move at night. They like to submerge their bodies in mud to accelerate the spread of pus, thereby infecting other organisms.
Black tumors gradually cover the individual’s head, torso, and arms during this process.
By the time it completely replaces the upper body, it turns into a [Patient].
The lower body retains the structure of the legs,
with the waist and above replaced by a gigantic black pus, highly variable and threatening but still fearful of light and high temperatures.
②. [Gathering Eye Disease]
Type: Mental infection (only affects organisms with intact consciousness)
Origin and introduction: A group of displaced Pilgrims from different regions, who regard Greyrell Mountain as a sacred mountain, as the ultimate destination of their lives’ ends.
They believe that if they can reach the summit, they will go to the dream beyond, to a blissful world without diseases.
The Pilgrims have a resolute determination unlike that of ordinary people; they crossed the jungle affected by grayification at the foot of the mountain and successfully reached the steep summit path.
However, the mountains had already severely mutated under the influence of the Grey Zone, complex and shrouded in fog, making the Pilgrims completely lost, unable to find the correct path to the summit.
They considered the complex mountain path as the ultimate test, viewing their getting lost as a lack of devotion.
To find the only correct path, the Pilgrims began indiscriminately consuming ‘eyeballs,’ whether the mutated animals in the mountains, their peers, or even themselves.
Once a certain number was reached, they completely mutated, and an “Aggregation Eye” grew on their forehead.
Type: Specific physical infection (only effective on humans)
Origin and introduction: Baron Francis once, for some reason, spent a fortune building a private mansion on the northern slope of Greyrell Mountain,
When the Grey Domain spread between the mountains, gentlemen in the organization proposed to escort the Baron’s family to leave, but they were refused.
No one has ever left the entire mansion; under the envelopment of the Grey Zone, special mutations occur slowly, even the surrounding woods begin to bleed like human blood.
Occasionally, skinless, continuously bleeding zombies can be seen moving around the perimeter of the mansion.
*Detailed information about these three diseases will be provided at the waystation—Yarsoto Town, by the gentlemen stationed there and will arrange mission assignments and hiking routes for different squads.
4. Tunnel Information
*This information is provided by the Tunnel Watcher.
[Exploration Level]: 0% (no conscious beings have ever crossed the tunnel)
[Stability]: Extremely high (no danger of tunnel collapse, grayification enhancement, etc.)
[Depth]: Shallow (leads to the safest shallow layer of the Old World)
