Baoyu County, Longgong New District.

The Government Affairs Office, located to the right of the magnificent Zizai Group building, is a newly constructed landmark building in recent months.

The previous Government Affairs Office had only a dozen or so pitiful small buildings, and even the exterior walls were not painted, giving off a sense of poverty from the inside out.

But now, the new residence has a total of four buildings from left to right. The tallest building has four floors. It is made of white sandstone mixed with marble. The basic color is gray-white, with elegant domes, towering pillars and inscriptions engraved with the laws of Baoyu County.

of exterior walls.

This is a palace that symbolizes the supreme majesty of Tianyuan Territory, and it is also a holy place that symbolizes Baoyu County’s external development.

At this time, light snow began to slowly fall from the sky, and snowflakes fell to the ground, adding a fairyland-like ethereal quality to the government building.

Of course, these newly built buildings still haven’t had time to install heating channels, so the air-conditioning inside is overwhelming.

But the people working inside didn't care. They wore thick army green cotton-padded jackets and hurriedly handled messy business.

Even when Somo strode in at the door, these people were completely unaware and had no intention of looking up.

"Yes, in the past four months, it seems that the foundation of Baoyu County has finally been stabilized!"

All the way to the county magistrate's office on the fourth floor of the building, Sumo sat down and curiously touched the heavy and simple mahogany furniture in front of him with a sigh on his face.

"This place is too luxurious. I feel a little uneasy when I sit here."

"Whatever luxury, this is considered very simple. Besides, this is the first stop of our Tianyuan Territory to the outside world. It is for outsiders to see." Feng Long picked up a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and leaned on the sofa.

"Yes, this place is still set up according to the standards of the three major territories four years ago." Zhang Min, who hurried over, quickly added: "This is the information you want, I have prepared it."

Su Mo came back unexpectedly this time without notifying anyone, let alone them. Even Feng Long only received the news more than an hour ago.

And because Su Mo specifically ordered the news to be blocked, people in Baoyu County still don't know that their county magistrate has returned.

"When I come back this time, I will only stay for a day or two before going to another place to do business, so it's best not to make a big fuss."

"Baoyu County is developing very well now. As long as we can maintain a steady pace, we will soon be able to recover all the initial investment and start making steady profits!"

After flipping through Baoyu County's recent reports, Su Mo smiled.

Boom, boom, boom.

Suddenly, a close associate of Feng Long knocked on the door.

"Commander, I received the news that the first stop of the investigation team has been placed at our No. 1 planting base."

"As expected, we have already taken the things away, let them check them as they please." Feng Long nodded and lazily changed into a more comfortable position.

Then, he reached out to take the photo taken by his cronies, took a rough look at it, and glanced at it nonchalantly.

"It seems that there are still many spies inside and outside our territory, and they can even detect such confidential information."

"Is Wan Jingnian responsible for that?" Sumo thoughtfully took the photo and looked at it, then turned the back of his chair and looked outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking out from here, you can see the new look of the entire Longgong New District.

Buildings rising from the ground, and streets covered with snow.

There are countless shops with various signs on the roadside that have opened, steaming white air is pouring out from them, and smiling pedestrians come out from time to time.

Compared with a few months ago, they are obviously less rushed and dead, and more leisurely and lively.

"Yes, it is true that those who come are not good and those who are good will not come. Their purpose must not be as simple as investigating the blood epidemic. I am afraid that carefully investigating the reasons for the changes in the previous territory is their main purpose."

"Speaking of the blood epidemic." Sumo stood up: "There are so many rumors outside, what is going on?"

His eyes fell on Zhang Min, who quickly backed away and walked out of the conference room and closed the door.

"What else can there be? Either the outside world is looking for a reason to get to know us, or the Demon Soul Clan is causing trouble inside again and giving them a lot of clues." Feng Long said calmly: "Anyway, we haven't done anything in the past few years.

It’s not the first time, I should have gotten used to it.”

"Are you sure?"

Sumo was silent for a moment.

If the blood plague is just an ordinary plague, then no matter which party is responsible for it, there is always a way to remedy it.

But the trouble was that when he returned in the past half month, he studied the blood epidemic carefully.

It is not easy to discover this thing. Its essence is definitely the prerequisite for the annihilation disaster that is coming in a few months.

Moreover, this blood plague can also divide human beings into those with the ability of the blood plague and ordinary people without the blood plague.

I can't imagine that once those with abilities surpass ordinary people too much, everyone will start to discover how to have this ability themselves.

Most humans actively choose to suffer from the blood plague and move closer to this power.

At that time, if the game detonates this bomb again, no matter how big the territory is, it will instantly fall into endless chaos.

And this is probably the most terrifying thing about the zombie wave.

The characteristic it has shown from the beginning is to make everyone willing to come into contact with the zombie virus instead of resisting it!

"It seems you discovered it?"

Feng Long did not answer directly, but suddenly changed the topic.

"Indeed, I can answer the truth now. The blood epidemic is not the work of the game, but caused by man."

"But I can guarantee you that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with our Tianyuan Territory. Back then, it was related to"

beep beep beep beep

Feng Long was still talking, but when he heard it in Su Mo's ears, it turned into a disorderly muffled sound.

Obviously, what he is saying now has touched upon what happened in the second year of the wasteland, which is the aftermath of the mutation caused by biological inhibitors that Sumo is most concerned about.

But unfortunately, the game has no intention of letting him know in advance, even if this information directly affects whether the mission can be successfully completed.

"That kid Zhou Xun contracted the blood plague and gained strength, right?"

"Now all the major territories are taking the initiative to study the blood plague virus. It is estimated that before long, there will be more and more mutants," Feng Long continued to explain in a low voice.

Afraid that Sumo would not be able to understand the twists and turns, he expressed it very clearly next.

No matter what the blood plague is, what consequences it has, what changes it will cause, or even which party it is from.

For the survivors in the wasteland who have long been used to life and death, this is nothing.

As long as they can gain more power and have more possibilities to survive, what wouldn't they dare to do?

Someone can fight life and death for a piece of bread, so what horror will be the consequences of contracting a mere blood plague?

If you don't get this power, your food will be taken away by people with power, and you will die immediately.

If you gain this power, even if you die, you can die late, and you can die with most people.

Therefore, the so-called pursuit of the truth is just starting from the beginning.

The real purpose of these people coming here is to find out how far the Tianyuan Territory's research on the blood epidemic has progressed, what stage of development it has reached, and whether it is much faster than in their own territory.

If everyone's progress is not too different, it will be no different from the previous investigation team dispatch. Everyone will go through the motions and be done.

"You don't have to worry about this. Our Tianyuan Territory has sent special envoys to join the investigation team several times before, so we know the twists and turns here.

We are prepared, if they can't find anything, they will have to travel at public expense in the end, and we will be gone soon," Feng Long pretended to be relaxed.

"As for the power of the blood epidemic, the territory has already deployed a large amount of computing power at the Academy of Sciences to research it. As long as we people are careful not to get it."

"No, I'm already infected." Su Mo interrupted suddenly.

At a glance, he saw that Feng Long's face, which was originally calm, suddenly changed drastically, and his lazy body suddenly tensed up.

He quickly sat up straight, took out a square device from the storage space, and clicked continuously.

The gray screen was lit up, revealing eight red vertical lines, while a small needle poked out of the front section.

As the needle comes close to the surface of Somo's skin, the probe pokes out, retrieves a drop of blood, and begins analysis.

Three seconds later, four of the eight red lines quickly became black.

"Oops, you've been infected with the blood plague for more than fourteen days, and you can't use a machine to forcefully change the serum!"

Although the power of blood plague is very tempting, no one who can sit in a high position can resist the temptation of this unknown power.

Including the special envoys of the investigation team who came from the Qi territory, they showed no signs of accepting the power of the blood plague.

Feng Long thought that Sumo would resolutely reject this power.

As a result, not only is the infection now infected, but the time has also exceeded the maximum cleaning time!

"To be precise, it is already the sixteenth day." Sumo shook his head slightly.

"This virus is not as scary as you think. It contains many types of genes. As long as there are other variants of human genes, it means infection."

"As for me, I'm different from them."

"No matter what, you must hurry up and go to the Academy of Sciences with me now, otherwise, the longer it takes, the slimmer the chance of treatment will be!"

Feng Long didn't care about this at this time. After confirming that there was no problem with the response of the device, he already took out his pager and prepared to contact rescue.

However, a strong big hand pressed on his arm.

"Believe me, no one understands it better than me, and the power of blood plague is not as simple as you think, for example."
