Chapter 420: The Arrogant Plague Bringer
"What's the situation?"
Ron stepped into the combat meeting room quickly, and Tucker and others were already waiting.
On the territory star map in the air, red dots light up from time to time, which means that another area has been discovered or attacked by the plague.
Now, the plague has spread to many areas.
The star map is changing all the time, and new red dots appear from time to time, but some red dots disappear.
Because the defense system of the Savior's territory has been activated, almost all relevant departments are in operation and have begun to eradicate the plague one after another.
"Savior, all planets have entered a state of emergency, and the military affairs department and medical treatment teams are in place..."
Taco reported in an orderly manner.
Since the territory has been fully prepared for war in advance, large hospitals and a large number of temporary treatment points, checkpoints, etc. have been established on each planet.
At the same time, a disinfection department has been established to purify the epidemic area.
These are all under the unified command of the temporary epidemic elimination department, and various departments work together to make every effort to eliminate this disaster.
Now, the Savior's territory has been divided into many epidemic prevention areas.
From star regions, galaxies to various regions of the planet, they are divided down layer by layer until the specific residential grid points and even each building, and special administrative personnel are arranged to manage them.
Countless grid points have united to establish a detailed intelligence network and plague data records.
Once there are signs of plague, they will be reported immediately, the relevant areas will be blocked and isolated to reduce the flow of people, and then they will be checked one by one to find out the infected and the source of infection.
They will be sent to the treatment point.
At the same time, the Space Warriors and the disinfection team will also arrive to deal with the invaders as soon as possible and disinfect the entire area.
Other departments will cooperate to maintain order and ensure the supply of relevant materials.
This is why many areas can eliminate the plague so quickly. Often the plague has not spread yet and is eliminated from the source.
"We have also become the target of the plague lord..."
Ron looked at the star map area that was constantly turning red and extinguished, and sighed slightly.
Now, only the area near the Holy Land of Ers has no red dots and is in normal operation.
As the core world, this is the only area in the entire territory that is fully covered by the sacred tower, and the sacred light illuminates almost everywhere.
Although this consumes horrible resources, the effect is obvious to all.
The Holy Land of Ers has a solid barrier against chaos, and all evil and plagues are exposed. No chaos dares to offend.
It also gives the territory a stable rear area, which can deal with invasions in an orderly manner.
The only disadvantage is that it will cause the entire planet area to be in endless daylight, and artificial nights need to be created for people to rest.
As for other planets, they are not so lucky.
Although most planets have built sacred towers, and there will be more on key planets, it can only protect some core areas.
Allow these planets to resist longer when facing invasions and hold on until rescue arrives.
In other words, they will still be invaded, but they will not fall easily.
Ron sat in the conference room, listening to reports from various regions. One area after another was recovered, but new plagues appeared.
It seemed endless.
Even though the territory was handled very quickly and there were almost no casualties, the number of planetary regions added up was a very scary number.
In just one week, hundreds of millions of people died.
If the Savior's territory was like this, then other imperial regions would be even more terrifying, with countless lives being destroyed.
All this will give the Plague Lord Nurgle unimaginable power!
Even though they were prepared, the Plague Lord's horror was beyond everyone's expectations.
Ron thought of something and asked, "How is the situation on the Regent's side?"
"The medical team we sent has assisted Ultramar in establishing a hospital world in Yax, and set up medical points on more planets."
Taco flipped through the intelligence: "The Regent also listened to your advice and strengthened Yax's defense."
"You arrange to send a batch of new medical supplies to the Regent as soon as possible."
Ron ordered.
Old Ji's side is the main battlefield for the invasion of Nurgle forces, and the pressure is expected to be even greater.
Especially Yax.
If it fails to hold, it will become a paradise of plague and breed the plague of God, a terrible thing that can kill the Primarch instantly.
Just one tube can destroy the entire galaxy, the kind that cannot be saved!
Now, Ron probably knows the purpose of the Nurgle forces, which is to use continuous attacks to delay and continuously weaken the power of the Savior Territory.
Make it difficult for the Savior Territory to support other areas.
He only hopes that he can quickly put out the plague in the territory, and then withdraw his hands to rescue other worlds, especially Ultramar.
"Continue to increase the scope of the search, we don't have much time..."
Ron gave the order.
Let the psykers and think tanks expand the scope of the search and find the source of the plague as soon as possible.
Such endless plague attacks must be closely related to the subspace.
Perhaps it is some kind of terrible plague life form, or it may be a special weapon developed by the big moth Moritaan.
After that, he went to the Plague Research Institute-O'Neill through the webway, a planet dedicated to researching plagues and producing treatment drugs.
The results developed there will become the key to resisting the plague.
…
Plague Institute, Laboratory.
Zhi——
Ron passed through several sterilization devices and was sprayed with special sterilizing gas before successfully reaching the deep experimental area.
After he came in, he saw batch after batch of petri dishes, and a large number of rotting lives with stinking yellow mist were locked in reinforced glass columns.
Those are the pathogens that carry the plague.
Occasionally, you can still hear the wails from the decaying life forms, which have been injected with various drugs and used for experiments.
Many of the plague treatment drugs and disinfectants used in the Savior’s Territory today are the results of this research institute, which can be said to have saved countless lives.
However, this alone is not enough.
He hopes to get more effective treatment drugs or weapon reagents.
"Lord Savior..."
Wanbian Healer hurried over to salute, feeling a little nervous.
The plague war broke out early, but the institute has not yet been able to deliver the promised results. There are only a few days left before the five-year deadline.
The great savior invested massive resources and placed high hopes on this planet.
If it fails, O'Neill's researchers really don't know how to face that existence.
That is a failure to everyone, and it is an unforgivable crime!
Ron's attitude was gentle, and he raised his hand slightly to indicate to the ever-changing healer that he should not be restrained.
He asked: "How far has your experiment progressed?"
"The Black Abyss Base has given out the latest plague data. We have made a new potion based on that data, and the results will be available soon."
Doctor Wan Chang narrated: "Once the injection test is successful, we will have a powerful drug weapon that can be quickly put into production..."
Ron was looking forward to it when he heard this.
This is what he wants.
There is a deadly plague on the side of Nurgle's kind father, so he makes a super plague killer, a medicinal weapon that combines the energy of the small sun, the energy of the sacred sun and many medicines.
That thing can deal with most known plagues.
When the plague killer is mass-produced, it will be able to disinfect large areas of relevant areas, which will be more effective, and it will also cause more harm to the life of Nurgle.
Sterilize them well!
However, before he could be happy for long, the All-Change Healer received new information, and a violent arc of electricity erupted on the mechanical body.
He looked a little emotional.
"What's wrong?"
Ron frowned and had a bad feeling.
Afterwards, the voice of the great biological sage came:
"Lord Savior...the experiment failed. The latest pharmaceutical reagent failed to achieve the desired effect..."
In front of the glass cage.
Ron looked at the things imprisoned inside, which were the seven chosen ones by Nurgle. Among them were ordinary civilians, nobles, and evildoers of the Corruption Cult.
Nothing can be seen from their appearance, but these guys without exception carry a deadly plague that is enough to corrupt the entire planet.
What’s even more frightening is that ordinary detection instruments cannot detect it at all.
Fortunately, the Demon Tribunal found them in time, and the arrest method was not too complicated.
Now the Savior Territory has established a monitoring system as a whole, and citizens are also aware of Chaos.
Especially the enthusiastic masses of certain faithful parishes.
If you see someone mumbling strange numbers, report them immediately to the Demon Tribunal and catch them.
Or play sacred music praising the Emperor in the entire suspected area, allowing everyone to praise the Emperor, recite the Emperor's divine name, and then implicitly call the Plague Lord a Dash*.
Anyone who fails to comply will be arrested directly.
If that doesn't work, we can go to the Sacred Tower together to bask in the sun and see who has special symptoms.
After such a complete set, there is basically no mistake.
Afterwards, the Demon Tribunal sent these Nurgle chosen ones here as important experimental materials.
These Nurgle chosen ones have been injected with the latest drugs.
Although there were burn marks on their bodies, they did not cause much damage. There was no doubt that the experiment failed.
Although those medicines have the effect of curing the epidemic, they cannot resist the more powerful plague life.
"Forty-nine..."
"fifteen……"
The Chosen Ones of Nurgle were alive and well, wandering around the isolation room, showing a smile from time to time, and then revealing the numbers related to the Holy Number of the Father.
But the next second. They returned to normal and begged people outside to let them out.
Boom——
A noble-looking Nurgle Chosen one hit the glass, groaning in pain and staring at the existence outside.
Although it was a one-way mirror, he seemed to be able to see outside.
"one"
said the noble.
The circles under his eyes turned dark, and he counted the numbers seriously: "Two...five, six..."
Along with the numbers, maggot-like creatures swam under the skin of the nobleman until they gushed out of his eyeballs and pus flowed from his mouth.
His skin was cracking, his fingers twisting, his skin melting like wax.
Behind the nobles, other Nurgle Chosen people gathered around, as if reminding in unison: "Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven!"
Even if this isolation room has been isolated and silenced, and multiple isolation measures have been used, it can even attract the holy light of the sacred sun at any time.
I still can't resist all the influences.
Those voices were transmitted, chilling people's hearts.
"Seven!!!"
The noble raised his hand and pointed outside, roaring like a demon.
His back swelled up, and the rotten and thick horn slowly appeared through his forehead and twisted upwards.
The pain of this chosen one of Nurgle became more intense, but he chuckled and was no longer troubled by it.
Because he had become the messenger of the plague, the swarms of flies and germs released were rampant in the isolation room, and the rotten fungi slowly grew out.
The messenger of the plague looked straight outside, as if he saw the savior.
"Life belongs to corruption, you can't stop it..."
He maintained an indescribable ironic smile.
It was a silent mockery. The savior could do nothing about the plague and could only destroy it but not cure it.
And corruption is always endless, and there will always be new plagues, just like the endless life of nature.
"How long will it take for you... to conduct the next drug experiment?"
Ron took a deep breath and asked.
He knew that it was a provocation from the Lord of Plague or a certain Nurgle demon behind him, and he could also let the Plague Messenger die in torture.
But that was meaningless.
Ron hoped to kill the other party with the medicine or potion weapon he had imagined, asking the Plague Messenger to drink the medicine and pour it into his mouth to kill him!
The All-Change Healer was a little depressed, and the electronic voice became low: "There is an error in our research direction. We need to verify a large amount of data and start a new path again.
The entire research process may take at least one standard Terra year, and the success of the experiment cannot be guaranteed."
The great biological sage answered the question truthfully.
In scientific and technological research, it is extremely troublesome to make mistakes in research direction.
That means that most of the previous efforts have been invalidated, and it will take more time in the future, especially within the Mechanicus. Such a wrong direction may waste dozens or hundreds of years.
It may even make a technical priest do nothing for the rest of his life.
The Plague Research Institute has the support of many planets and can rely on a large amount of manpower and material resources to shorten the research time, so the impact is not that great.
But the problem is that the Savior Territory can no longer wait that long.
What if the next experiment fails again?
The All-Change Healer lowered his head, not daring to face the disappointed look of the Savior. He had failed this existence.
However, Ron did not blame the great biological sage, and even his expression did not change much.
Scientific experiments are always accompanied by failures, which he had expected.
What's more, he already had a plan.
Ron looked at the All-Change Healer and reminded him: "You should seek help from greater wisdom, maybe you can get the right answer."
"Are you talking about the great mechanical goddess?"
The All-Change Healer shook his head and sighed obscurely: "The Mechanical Goddess, we have tried our best, but the result is still the same..."
He did not dare to blaspheme the Mechanical Goddess.
In fact, the Mechanical Goddess Xiaoling has analyzed and provided all the biological data and computing resources, including the valuable knowledge provided by the Life Goddess Aisha.
But unfortunately, it is still too difficult to study such high-level drugs. After all, it is against the plague bacteria created by the Lord of Plague.
Even if the sacred energy of the Little Sun and the Holy Sun is used, it is still a bit difficult.
Maybe I can't use such a great power?
The All-Change Healer thought so.
"No, I'm not referring to the Mechanical Goddess, nor anything else, but the most intelligent and knowledgeable existence in the universe.
The library of that existence has all the knowledge that has or will exist."
Ron said calmly, with a hint of meaning: "If it is Him, He will definitely be able to help you find the right answer..."
The All-Change Healer's face changed as he listened.
Because the words of the Savior pointed to a terrible existence in the subspace.
A chaotic evil god who controls change, curiosity, creativity, knowledge and magic - the Lord of Change, Tzeentch!
"You mean... No... No, believe me, I will never make such a mistake!"
The All-Change Healer was a little panicked.
Everyone knows that the technical priests are most afraid of and taboo that existence. Although He can bring knowledge, he will create more chaos and mistakes.
It will cause the seekers of knowledge to fall into chaos and a tragic fate.
What's more, this is an extremely serious accusation, and serious technical priests don't want to be associated with that existence.
He glanced at the entrance, fearing that someone from the Tribunal would suddenly rush in and take him away for tea or put him in a terrible prison deep underground.
"Did the Savior notice something?"
Countless data and guesses flashed in the electronic brain of the All-Change Healer, and he felt that the Savior was testing him.
That existence was so sharp and could understand everything.
In just a few breaths, the psychological defense of the great sage collapsed.
The All-Change Healer knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness: "Savior, I did feel the existence of that taboo, but I never dared to go beyond it.
My loyalty to you has never changed!"
In order to study the medicine to resist the plague, he was under tremendous pressure and was extremely eager to have more knowledge to achieve all this.
Especially recently, he had frequently felt a blue changing figure.
The terrible Chaos God was tempting him, trying to give him the knowledge he desired, as if with that knowledge, he could create the perfect medicine he had always dreamed of to fight the plague.
However, he remained loyal to the Lord Savior and firmly refused again and again.
No matter how the Chaos God tempted him or even got angry, he never did anything disloyal, never!
When the All-Change Healer knelt down, his detection device scanned the newcomers, a group of high-level judges of the Demon Tribunal!
They walked in quickly, aggressively.
"Lord Savior, I am willing to accept punishment..."
The All-Change Healer seemed to have lost his strength, and his electronic eyes dimmed. No matter what, his mind had already come into contact with the unclean existence.
Even if he did nothing, he was still unfaithful in his mind.
"What punishment?"
Ron shook his head and quickly helped the other party up: "The territory needs talents like you now!"
While speaking, the high-level judges of the Demon Tribunal saluted slightly, quickly plundered from the two people, and then formed a formation to guard in front of the isolation room.
They were just ordered to guard here to avoid any accidents.
"Aren't you here to catch me?"
The Changeable Healer seemed relieved.
"Of course not, you said you saw the blue birdman?"
Ron was very satisfied: "It seems that my guess is correct. I will make an altar later, and you go to the Lord of Change to communicate and seek answers..."
"Ah?"
The Changeable Healer screamed, a little unbelievable, and did not dare to respond for a while. The Demon Tribunal is still there!
The laboratory fell into silence.
When the high-level judges heard the key words, they subconsciously clenched their weapons and cast cold eyes, and then slowly turned their heads one by one.
They heard nothing and knew nothing.
The great savior must have his reasons for doing this, otherwise, how could they capture the savior? !
Ron also felt that this was not a good idea, so he dragged the All-Change Healer to a more secluded area and emphasized this issue again.
Let the other party know that he was serious.
Now, Nurgle, who is also one of the four gods of chaos in the warp, has become rich and has become the most powerful existence.
Although Tzeentch often teases the Blood God or is beaten by him.
But his real enemy is actually Nurgle, and the competition between the two sides is the most intense.
Tzeentch represents innovation, change, transformation and chaos, while Nurgle represents a completely opposite ideology - he has no choice but to accept the pessimism and despair of the status quo and indulge in it to find joy.
This is why Tzeentch was so angry after the start of the Plague War.
He was desperately trying to stop Nurgle.
This guy even found the All-Change Healer who was researching plague treatment drugs and tried to give him knowledge.
It seems that he is really anxious.
If you ask the Lord of Change about Nurgle now, I guarantee you will get the answer. I am afraid you will not believe it.
But be honest.
"Then... what should I do?"
The Healer of Change was a little sad. Even though he was a great sage, he was inevitably afraid when he knew he had to face a Chaos God.
Ron comforted him: "Don't worry, I will go with you and protect your soul."
With his current strength, he can still protect the soul of a mortal.
This time, part of his soul will also go to the Crystal Maze to take a look. In addition to protecting his own talents, he also wants to see if he can get some wool.
There are not many opportunities like this...
