puff.

Sitting in the slightly dark cabin, Somo faced the sea, gently lit a candle and inserted it on the cake in front of him.

The cake was very simple, with no fancy decorations, and the number 28 was simply engraved on the flat buttercream.

This was the birthday gift that Zhang Min had specially prepared before leaving, as he accidentally let slip that night.

call.

Soma quietly blew out the candles and closed his eyes.

"Unknowingly, it's already my third year in the wasteland." He said calmly in his heart.

Six months in the real wasteland, 12 months in the White Sand Ruins, plus 9 months in this ruins.

It has been 27 months, far more than two years.

Although he is still a bit "young" compared to the humans who have stayed in this ruined world for nine years.

But for Soma himself, what he has endured has been several times more than what humans in the outside world have endured.

The pressure on his shoulders never got smaller, but became more and more.

After a while, he opened his eyes slightly and wolfed down the entire cake.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door.

Sumo picked up a paper towel, wiped the corners of his mouth, and put the cake plate into the corner.

"Which one?"

"Master Su, it's me, Zhou Xun."

"Come in." The door opened, and the strong Zhou Xun walked in, holding a thick stack of information in his hand.

"Sir, this is the latest research data coming from the territory. Dean Yan Xiaqing also specially made an annotation, saying that he wants you to read it quickly and give your opinions so that they can start the next part of the work."

"So fast?" Sumo raised his eyebrows, stood up, took all the information and put it on the table.

It has only been a week since we went to sea. How can the territory have achieved results based on Poseidon cells so quickly?

Open the document and turn on the desk lamp.

Zhou Xun quietly left and closed the door behind his back, leaving Somo alone to read quietly.

Outside the cabin, the sea wind howled, accompanied by occasional bursts of rain.

White waves occasionally hit the deck, leaving waves of salty water trickling out along the drain.

After carefully flipping through the two pages of information sent by Yan Xiaqing, Su Mo frowned.

Whether the wasteland is in chaos or not, it really depends on the alien race.

What is recorded in this document is not the recent breakthrough of Poseidon cells, but the rapid development of the blood plague virus.

According to genetic sequencing, due to frequent cross-infections, the blood plague virus that currently dominates the outside world finally competed for victory.

Those blood plague viruses mixed with weak alien genes began to be gradually eliminated.

Instead, some blood plague viruses containing powerful genes take over the human body.

Among them, the genes of the five major royal families are impressively listed.

The cursed tiger's genes can make humans immune to all diseases and greatly increase their resistance to harsh natural environments.

Crystal Dragon's genes can make human skin tougher and stronger, and people with a high level of acceptance can even have the ability to release barriers.

Yuanzhu's genes can enable people to eat more food and store more energy in exchange for stronger physical fitness.

The genes of the rut dog can make people's perception in battle stronger, and even have the ability to predict in a certain sense.

As for the most powerful thunder monkey, the gene brought by its gene is even more abnormal. It can make humans absorb electrical energy and store a certain amount in the body.

During combat, you can release electrical energy at the moment of contact with other people, causing a paralysis effect.

In daily life, it can be used as a large power bank to power electrical appliances.

As for those who have a high degree of acceptance, rumors also mention that they can discharge electricity from a distance and directly transform into the King of Thunder and Lightning.

"The genes of the five royal families are growing rapidly, and it is expected that they will account for the majority of infected people within two months at most."

"But the most difficult thing is"

"They discovered that humans can successfully survive the blood plague virus only if they suffer from malignant tumors?"

Looking at the source recorded in this information, Sumo was a little surprised, but also somewhat aware.

Ever since he reached the trade agreement with the Adventurer Alliance, Tianyuan Territory and the Adventurer Alliance have entered a honeymoon period.

Especially during this period, the exchange of information between the two became more frequent.

The Adventurer Alliance relies on adventurers scattered all over the country to easily get the news they want.

For example, these people are currently preaching that human beings must accept evolution and tap into the potential within their bodies.

They call themselves "Shenting" and lead all kinds of wild ghosts and crooked gods under their command.

With the growing team, the west coast and south coast of the New World have become the back gardens of this group of people.

Any territory that refuses their request for growth will be ruthlessly attacked, and they will continue to burn, loot, and expand their ranks.

"Looking at the route, this group of people doesn't seem to be foolhardy. Are they deliberately encircling a very large territory?"

After flipping through the war maps on the next few pages, Sumo felt a little troubled.

There are less than two months left before this ruins, and not only have other territories not developed an antidote to the hemorrhagic plague.

Even within the Tianyuan Territory, no direct way to suppress the blood plague has been found.

If you want to save these ordinary people who are infected with foreign genes, you must capture them and re-implant them with Poseidon cells.

But there are materials, equipment, daily consumption, and personnel dispatch expenses.

Putting aside the difficulty, this cost alone is enough to bankrupt Tianyuan Territory and its three major territories on the spot.

"It seems that there will be a big war between the old and new humans in two months!"

"We have to find a way to find out these new humans infected with the genes of the five royal families as early as possible and see what their methods are."

Coming to the conclusion, Sumo also saw Yan Xiaqing's comments below.

During the external genetic testing, the Academy of Sciences accidentally discovered two familiar genes in the genes of the blood plague virus.

"Oreo's genes? Moore's genes?"

"What the hell? What the hell is this?"

Looking at the cute bear head in the genetic sequence, and the Oreo with the evil smile on his face.

Sumo was startled from his previous meditation and suddenly felt a headache.

Only then did he suddenly remember that he had sent Oreo to the Dragon Flag Territory to meet with Moore.

Looking at the current situation, a dog and a bear may have successfully met each other.

"Oreo shouldn't be aimless, she should have a reason for doing all this."

"Just wait and see what happens and wait for subsequent developments!"

Out of his trust in Oreo and Moore, Sumo didn't think that the two children were planning to cause trouble with the five royal families.

There is a high probability that what they are doing now is preparing for something in the future.

Thinking of this, Somo stood up, opened the door and walked to the captain's cabin on the upper deck.

Just when he got to the deck, he looked back and saw several merchant ships hiding in the wind and waves, clinging to death behind the ships.

"Bao Lei, what are those people at the back doing? Let them dock quickly."

"With such a big storm, they don't really think that our disguised merchant ship can leave, and so can they, right?"

Pushing open the door to the captain's cabin, he saw Bao Lei sitting in the captain's seat, drinking hot tea.

Sumo quickly pointed to the back and reminded.

"Sir, that is not an ordinary merchant ship. It has been following us for several days. I deliberately lured them into taking the bait."

Bao Lei stood up, poured out another cup of hot tea, and handed it over.

"Follow us?"

"Yes, they slow down when we slow down, and they speed up when we speed up. It seems that the people who come here are evil. There is a high probability that they will wait until the death sea ahead before taking action."

"Then why don't we kill them now?" Sumo wondered.

Pfft.

Bao Lei almost spit out the sip of tea he just took.

He had just planned to introduce the clever trick of using the wind and waves to get rid of the opponent, but he didn't think

"Really?"
