My Cell Prison

Chapter 451: Chapter 451 Enter the Quarantine Area
 

“Knight Priscilla, is this red plague related to life outside the city, or is it related to curses? If it’s simply a plague… the Plague Knights should be able to handle it easily, right?”

Seeing Han Dong finish reading in just three minutes and ask the key question, Knight Priscilla was somewhat shocked.

After brushing away the ‘seaweed’ hair obstructing her vision with her fingers, the knight patiently answered his question.

“Yes, the plague is related to life outside the city.

At the same time, it is also a kind of blood curse that we have never encountered before… During the execution of the mission, you all need to wear ‘goggles’ and special protective suits throughout the process.

You guys should quickly go to the nearby supply station to get your free Holy Water, Anti-plague Elixir, and protective suits, and prepare to set off.”

The three of Han Dong quickly received various items from the supply station, as well as an outer garment with a simple protective spell made temporarily. It is far inferior to Han Dong’s “Bone Feather Robe”.

But in order not to stand out too much, Han Dong still chose to wear this ‘radiation suit’-like outer garment.

“Mia… it’s actually a plague from outside the city! Do you think it could be the plague brought by the Old King who appeared a year ago?”

Flora, a member of the team, was somewhat nervous about dealing with such an unknown and dangerous event.

After all,

The seriousness of the event and related descriptions are far greater than the bounty tasks Flora usually comes across.

“It’s definitely related! Once infected, death is assured…”

Mia deliberately said so, scaring her underclassman into a complete loss of confidence.

“Don’t listen to her nonsense, the nature of the Old King is completely different from this incident… The specific situation requires us to delve deeper into the investigation to know. Mia, don’t scare your underclassman anymore.”

“Haha, I was just joking.”

Han Dong didn’t want anyone to be a drag because of the pressure and seriously told the underclassman: “During the mission, you just follow the lead of the knight captain closely. We will take care of the basic problems.”

“Okay… Thank you, brother. I will try to help as much as possible.”

“Hmm.”

When the three returned,

Knight Priscilla had already laid out the map of the quarantine area.

The isolation zone includes two civilian zones, accounting for about 1/3 of the area of the first level of the Holy City.

It is opposite to the civilian zone where the Secret Stone incident happened last time.

“We are responsible for the Quarantine East Area, which is relatively concentrated with mild to moderate infections.

The density of infected people inside is not very high, our main job in Mysticism is to clear the ‘Insect Infected’ as much as possible, especially those hidden in the deepest parts of infection.

If we can find the source of the ‘Red Plague’, or find some clues, we will receive a generous reward.

Among you, who is good at ‘search and perception’? How far can your range reach?”

In fact, both Han Dong and Mia can do detection, it’s just that Han Dong has more means.

Han Dong raised his hand, “Single-direction exploration can reach five hundred meters, omnidirectional perception can cover up to thirty meters.”

“Hmm!? What is your major?”

Priscilla was a little surprised as this level of perception is considered Knight level.

In reality, Han Dong was being conservative… his detection distance would double with full firepower usage and without his Magic Staff.

“I dabble in plagues and witchcraft.”

“I hope you’re not exaggerating your abilities… Well then, I’ll leave the detection work to you! Our main target is clearing the ‘Bug Nest’, and investigating the hidden deep source of infection.”

“Okay!”

The knight turned to Mia and Flora, “Ladies, either give a brief explanation or directly show your abilities for me to see, for proper arrangement.”

“Spider Sorcery, also proficient in swordsmanship… have a decent Fate Weapon to back up, causing good damage.”

While Mia briefly answered,

Flora had already taken out all the prepared stitching materials, spreading out a Magic Array paper to activate.

A jumbo-sized Giant Tomb Corpse had been crafted.

A muscular giant, standing two and a half meters tall.

All the crucial joints had been stitched together with a certain ‘Demonified Beast Sinew Line’, and it was holding a massive axe exuding a cold chill; a piece of high-quality green gear.

Just by this alone, this Flora should be placed in the upper-middle range among the lower grades.

“Not bad… let’s go.”

…

The isolation process adopted a double insurance model of [Barrier + Bulwark].

The Holy Knights Group enveloped the quarantine area in a gigantic Holy Light Barrier, and these infected beings mixed with evil would have to pay a great price to forcibly cross the Holy Light Barrier.

Simultaneously, right next to the barrier, the Smithy Association constructed a blockage wall as high as seven meters.

Anyone entering or exiting had to undergo rigorous identity checks and blood draws.

“Good luck to you!”

Entry check completed.

The moment the staff member opened the inner door by turning on the hydraulic valve.

What Han Dong saw was a completely different red civilian area… the red mist pervading the air was strikingly conspicuous.

Blood bugs, with vivid red sacs on their tails, came into view.

The winged blood bugs would immediately be shot down by the Smithy Association’s turrets if they approached the border,

or smacked against the barrier, being burned to nothing by the Holy Light.

The filthy streets, broken shanties too were infested with all sorts of blood bugs.

“Ha ha ha…”

Apart from the unusual visuals, all sorts of strange laughter echoed within the quarantine zone.

As mentioned in the data, the infected would ‘giggle’ for no reason due to the effects on their thalamus… and such insane laughter would intensify when the infection reached the third stage.

You could judge and locate the position of the infected with their ‘laugh’.

Of course… there were exceptions, such as some infected deliberately removing their ‘vocal cords’.

When such laughter reverberated within Han Dong’s mind, the Clown’s Arm also demonstrated an immediate ‘feedback reaction’, struggling violently in an attempt to escape its bondage, but it was all in vain.

“Estimate is[three hours], until I permit, no straying from the group is allowed.

Don’t be too nervous, there are many squads operating simultaneously with us… just do your job, clear the bug nests as much as possible.”

“11 o’clock direction, approximately 128 meters from us there should be a ‘Bug Nest’.”

“Huh!?”

The moment he stepped into the quarantine zone, Han Dong had already locked onto a target over a hundred meters away, and even provided a highly precise location.

By the time Priscilla reached the entrance of the alley, indeed, she found a Human Bug Nest that had already fused completely with the damp alley wall.

The abdominal cavity bulged to over two meters in width.

The skin surface had grown numerous flesh holes, facilitating the entry and exit of blood bugs.

The individual’s hands and feet had completely degenerated, becoming one with the wall.

Only the head remained intact.

Even after the vocal cords were cut, a silent manic laughter continued. The laughter was so wide that the corners of the mouth had been entirely torn.

Dried blood stained the wound red, revealing a horrific ‘torn’ smile.

At this moment.

The bug nest sensed that a living creature neared, and immediately made an ultrasonic-like sound.

Instantly, dozens of unusually-shaped blood bugs surrounded Han Dong and his party.
