Chapter 1133: Chapter 673: Calamity of All Living Beings (Part 2)
Kunlun knew this would happen, so they had long prepared an ergency plan.
Lockdown, evidence collection, reviewing Ti Traveler registration information, looking for commonalities. This is the best way to find out the cause of death of the Ti Travelers.
Qing Chen furrowed his brows in thought. What kind of fierce beast could gnaw a Ti Traveler to bones in just seven days?
Moreover, 16 Ti Travelers died simultaneously!
That’s too many deaths!
Could it be that these 16 Ti Travelers participated in so event together and got killed? It’s possible, but Qing Chen instinctively felt sothing was wrong.
No, that’s not right.
Qing Chen realized what was going on.
At this mont, Zheng Yuandong also arrived at the scene.
Ni Ergou said beside him, “Currently, out of the 16 deceased, 10 are male and 6 are female. They all have two things in common: they were in City No. 10, and their bodies are nothing but skeletons.”
Ni Ergou continued, “Judging from the color of the bones, so people have been dead for over six days, while so may have died just one day ago. This indicates that they didn’t join so event and got ambushed. Also, according to my investigation, they were in City No. 10 during their last crossing and didn’t go to the wilderness.”
Qing Chen suddenly said, “It’s rats.”
“What?” Ni Ergou looked at Qing Chen in astonishnt, “Are you sure it’s rats? Have the rats in City No. 10 beco this fierce?”
While speaking, a forensic expert had already walked out of the dormitory holding a human leg bone and looked at Zheng Yuandong, “Boss, there are rodent bite marks on the leg bone. Most likely caused by rats. We need further analysis to see if we can find the rat’s DNA structure on it.”
As he finished speaking, four students were brought over by Kunlun mbers. Qing Chen recognized them as forr mbers of Sun Chu Ci’s team.
Qing Chen asked, “What happened?”
A female student sobbed and intermittently said, “We were doing a task, Li Chao went alone to check the situation and never ca back…”
Another student said, “Before Li Chao died, he said that rats killed a human. We encountered rats actively attacking humans in the alley. They were very fast. Oh, right, we were with Li Hao at the ti. We were supposed to go up together to save Li Chao, but Li Hao ran away out of fear.”
Lu Yuan said nearby, “I know about this. They contacted Kunlun’s division in City No. 10 afterward. Ergou, you were in the wild, so you don’t know, but now it seems there’s really an issue with the rats in City No. 10.”
At this mont, the crying female student said, “Principal Zheng, we demand severe punishnt for Li Hao. He must be punished for abandoning his teammates.”
Zheng Yuandong paused for a mont and said, “I will consider how to handle it, but right now, it’s not just about Li Hao; go back and rest first.”
Zheng Yuandong looked at Qing Chen, “You directly said it was rats earlier; have you already gathered information on this?”
Qing Chen calmly nodded and said, “There is indeed a rat infestation in City No. 10. The rats there have beco bloodthirsty and even started frequently attacking humans. More than one person has reported related information to . So, it’s not a coincidence… They ate a Transcendent’s corpse!”
The answer in Zheng Yuandong’s mind was consistent with Qing Chen’s. He said gravely, “Only by gnawing the corpse of a Transcendent could such rapid species change occur. It seems there’s biological pollution in City No. 10.”
In the Inner World, so-called biological pollution doesn’t refer to soone releasing a biochemical virus, but when a Transcendent dies and their body isn’t properly contained, resulting in plants absorbing or animals eating them.
This ultimately leads to species undergoing a cross-level change.
In the past, the Federation suffered greatly from the hazards of biological pollution, to the extent that the earliest city beca a Taboo Land, forcing its residents to migrate and establish a new city.
Back then, even if a Transcendent died naturally at ho, no one managed it, and no one realized the consequences it would bring.
People later realized the seriousness of this matter, leading to the ergence of Contraindicated courts.
Qing Chen contemplated, “Strange, if a Transcendent died, why didn’t the Contraindicated courts contain it in ti? From what I know about them, they wouldn’t miss the death of any Transcendent…”
There hasn’t been a biological pollution event in the Federation for over two hundred years.
“There’s sothing wrong.”
Zheng Yuandong and Qing Chen said in unison.
Qing Chen’s brows furrowed tightly. He felt there was so extrely critical piece of information he’d overlooked.
This information is incredibly important!
At this mont, Lu Yuan asked in confusion, “What level of a Transcendent would it have to be to cause the city’s rat population to mutate like this?”
Qing Chen did not answer him but instead turned his back on everyone, facing the empty corridor.
Ni Ergou wanted to say sothing but was stopped by Zheng Yuandong. Everyone was silently waiting.
The boy stood in the long and deep corridor, his pupils narrowing again.
The vertical pupils looked like an abyssal crack, with golden light slowly erging inside.
His gaze crossed the corridor, as if walls and obstacles turned to nothing before him.
The world disintegrated, then reconstructed into one mory scene after another, with sounds echoing in the corridor.
