Chapter 1133: Chapter 476: Virus Origin
These mutated sea snails are intertwined, orderly arranged, and neatly nestled deep in the land.
Outside the sea snails, spiral staircases have already been set up.
Every three meters in height, there is a room.
Liang Yuan was momentarily awed.
This is clearly using mutated sea snails to create houses.
This style truly opened Liang Yuan’s eyes.
He curiously asked, "Are these houses?"
Jiang Ziyin nodded and said, "These are mutated sea snail houses personally built by our Island Lord."
"The stone houses you saw earlier are about to be abolished."
"These mutated sea snail houses are not only sturdy but also like high-rises, saving land. As you can see, our area is only this big, and land resources are very scarce."
Jiang Ziyin smiled and introduced the island’s architecture without any reservations.
Liang Yuan nodded, simultaneously thinking that the issue might not only be the land resources.
Stone houses are too heavy and might be quite a burden for the giant tortoise.
However, these mutated sea snails, although larger in size, have shells that are only a thin layer, yet incredibly strong, lightweight, and certainly more convenient than stone houses.
Liang Yuan continued to follow her as they walked inside, but behind the sea snail houses, there were large areas of farmland.
In the farmland, various vegetables and mutated rice and other plants were being cultivated.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yuan was suddenly delighted and asked, "Have you found mutated rice?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziyin smiled and said, "Yes, we found it over in Guangfu, and now everyone in Guangfu is planting this mutated rice."
"Is the yield of this rice high?"
Jiang Ziyin nodded, "The yield is decent, similar to before the Great Flood, but the calories contained are higher, possibly due to absorbing superpower energy."
Yangshan has not found mutated rice, but there is quite a bit of mutated wheat.
Rice is generally planted in paddy fields.
There are also drought fields planted, but Linjiang basically does not have them.
After the Great Flood, most paddy fields have long been submerged. Mutated rice is really hard to find.
As Liang Yuan walked, he saw quite a few plastic greenhouses.
Inside, many fruits and vegetables were grown, with many varieties not found in Yangshan.
Liang Yuan immediately had a flash of inspiration, maybe he could trade with the people of Spirit Jade Island and take some seeds back.
As they continued walking, Jiang Ziyin quickly led Liang Yuan to a residence of a chunky sea snail.
This sea snail residence wasn’t tall, about seven to eight meters high, with three floors.
Liang Yuan glanced at Jiang Ziyin and asked, "Is this the Island Lord’s residence?"
"No, this is my place; the Island Lord and the others still have to deal with the Water God Sect and may not be over for now. Come and have a drink at my place first."
She spoke as she led Liang Yuan into the room.
This chunky sea snail room was large, with an area of about ninety square meters, spread across three floors.
The first floor had a decor similar to a laboratory, containing various medical instruments, medications, and medical equipment.
Jiang Ziyin said, "This is not only my room but also my office."
"I’m the resident doctor on Spirit Jade Island. Sorry for the mess, follow me to the upper floor."
Jiang Ziyin led Liang Yuan up the spiral staircase to the upper floor.
The upper floor had a reception room, not very large, but equipped with tables and chairs, although they didn’t match.
Apparently, these tables and chairs seemed to be pieced together from various sources.
Liang Yuan noticed that these furniture pieces were welded to the floor, making them hard to move.
Moreover, the floorboards between floors were made of some cement board, without tiles or similar materials.
Instead, wooden floors were laid down, giving an overall rough appearance.
Liang Yuan thought of the cute earthen attribute figure underwater, estimating that with an earth attribute superpower user, building houses shouldn’t be too difficult.
"Have a seat, I’ll pour you some water."
Jiang Ziyin pointed to a chair, inviting Liang Yuan to sit down, while she went to pour the water.
Before long, she returned with a kettle of warm water and a cup.
Pouring Liang Yuan a cup, she said, "The cups here are also scavenged from other buildings, hope you don’t mind."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "No worries, Dr. Jiang. I came out to find you, but first I went to Xinghai Garden Villa, but it was already flooded, so I had to inquire about your whereabouts around the area."
"Only when I was at the park area did I find your clues."
Jiang Ziyin looked at Liang Yuan in surprise and said, "It seems that the virus spread in your shelter is really severe."
Liang Yuan nodded, "This virus came very strangely, never encountered before, even Dr. Yang couldn’t handle it, so I could only come to find you."
Jiang Ziyin shook her head, "Let me tell you upfront, you better be mentally prepared."
"Things are different now. Previously, hospitals had professional equipment and tools along with various drugs to quickly analyze and detect viruses."
"But now, the Great Flood has submerged all equipment. Even with my professional virology knowledge, I can hardly assure that I can help."
Liang Yuan slightly nodded and said, "I understand, medical equipment and such are up to me to figure out. You just need to help see if this virus can be expelled or cured."
Jiang Ziyin looked at Liang Yuan in surprise, not understanding why he was so confident about finding medical equipment.
She thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about the virus first."
"What specific symptoms appear after the infection?"
Liang Yuan immediately said, "In the early stages, the infected person just feels feverish, has cold sweats, similar to a regular cold."
"But by the second day, it becomes severe, even developing to the point where they can’t get out of bed, suffer from constant headaches, and experience convulsions and other symptoms."
"By the third day, they will enter a coma, and without medical intervention, they will quickly lose vital signs."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziyin frowned deeply, her expression changed slightly, and she immediately asked, "Did your people get infected after eating mutant fish?"
Liang Yuan was taken aback, nodded and said, "After our preliminary investigation, it is indeed related to consuming mutant fish."
Jiang Ziyin stood up abruptly, her gaze deepened, "So that’s it!"
Liang Yuan quickly asked, "What, Dr. Jiang, have you encountered this situation?"
Jiang Ziyin nodded slightly and said, "I’ve encountered this virus more than once in Guangfu."
"What?! Has this virus appeared in Guangfu?" Liang Yuan was suddenly startled.
Jiang Ziyin: "To be precise, it’s in the area where the Water God Sect is located that this virus appears."
"The people of the Water God Sect call it the ’Curse of the Water God’!"
"Water God Sect?"
Liang Yuan’s expression changed, seemingly realizing something.
"Why does this virus only appear near the Water God Sect?"
Jiang Ziyin sneered, "Strange, isn’t it? In fact, the solution to this virus is simple; just consuming the Water God Sect’s Divine Water can cure it."
If Liang Yuan couldn’t understand what was happening by this point, then he was truly foolish.
His face turned ashen as he looked at Jiang Ziyin, and asked, "Are you saying that this virus is likely released by the Water God Sect?"
Jiang Ziyin nodded slightly, "That’s very likely the case. It seems your shelter has caught the attention of the Water God Sect."
"Whenever the Water God Sect targets a shelter, if the shelter’s power is ordinary, they will forcibly conquer and take over."
"If the shelter’s power is not weak, they will use virus attacks to instill fear among the residents."
"Then they will send Abyssal Stalkers into the target group to start preaching, causing unrest, ultimately leading to a complete takeover."
Liang Yuan’s face looked extremely ugly, and he suddenly felt a sense of urgency!
He must return to Yangshan quickly!
If everything is indeed as Jiang Ziyin says, this is all a conspiracy by the Water God Sect.
Perhaps the Water God Sect will spring into action during these few days of his absence!
No wonder he has been feeling uneasy, like something is amiss!
The problem lies here!
Liang Yuan immediately asked, "So, this virus is created by the Water God Sect?"
"How do they have a virus?"
Jiang Ziyin said in a deep voice, "The Water God Sect has a superpower user, one of the Four Great Priests of the Water Purification Priesthood, known as the Plague Priest. His superpower is to bring plague infectious diseases."
"These infectious diseases have nothing to do with viruses, as he himself is the source of the infection."
"He can spread the infectious disease through mutated fish to propagate it. The rapid rise and insane expansion of the Water God Sect owe a great deal to this person."
Liang Yuan’s face looked ugly, and he asked, "How do we cure this infectious disease? Do we have to find him?"
Jiang Ziyin nodded slightly, "As the source of the plague, if he wants to spread the plague, he certainly wouldn’t be too far from your survivors."
"The range of his virus spread is limited, related to his superpower, and likely also linked to his spiritual power."
"What!"
Liang Yuan’s pupils contracted. If this is true, doesn’t that mean the person is very likely near Yangshan?
Liang Yuan quickly stood up and said, "Dr. Jiang, if only he can control the infectious disease, then we must capture him?"
"Dr. Jiang, I must return immediately, I can’t stay here any longer."
Jiang Ziyin quickly said, "Mr. Liang, since matters have reached this point, don’t rush. Otherwise, once we’re done here, and after consulting with our Island Lord, perhaps we can go to Yangshan with you."
Liang Yuan thought about it. In Yangshan, the only expert in Yang Mountain Gene Species is Zhao Kai. If I return, it might be difficult to resist the Water God Sect if they have long been plotting against Yangshan.
This time they must be fully prepared, and if I can obtain help from Spirit Jade Island, it would certainly be better than fighting alone.
He immediately said, "Alright, but just waiting here is not a solution. I’ll go help underwater."
Jiang Ziyin chuckled and shook her head, "No need, our Island Lord is no ordinary person. It should be almost over by this time."
She said this as she got up and went to the window.
Liang Yuan followed to the window, looking at the flood outside.
In the flood, waves rolled, and a giant turtle raised its head, already smashing all the Water God Sect’s boats.
The Water God Sect members fell into the water and attempted to launch an attack.
But at that moment, giant mutated creatures emerged from the waves.
There were giant crabs, and also giant sailfish.
With the appearance of these mutated creatures, members of the Water God Sect panicked.
These gigantic mutated beasts seemed to be commanded somehow, and began frantically attacking and devouring the Water God Sect people.
The Water God Sect members were shocked and enraged, hurriedly diving to escape.
Not long after, the surface was covered with floating corpses, while cheers erupted from Spirit Jade Island.
Liang Yuan’s expression revealed surprise, and he asked, "You have people on your island who can control mutated beasts to fight?"
