Arknights is too real, right?

After listening to Kate's explanation, Xia Feng already understood the quality classification of Source Stone.

Xia Feng raised the dim light in his hand.

It seems that the Source Stone in this toy is a B-level Source Stone?

That's right.

Xia Feng stared at the dim light carefully.

You just seemed to say that B-grade Origin Stone also contains Origin Stone components. Doesn't that also have the possibility of infection?

Kate smiled innocently.

No, you are wrong. In fact, this is the point I want to say.

oh?

No matter what quality the Source Stone is, after it is processed into the final finished Source Stone, a layer of special substance will be attached to the surface. This special substance will completely isolate the pathogenic radiation emitted by the Source Stone, even if ordinary people hold it in their hands. You won’t be infected with mineral sickness at all.”

Huh? Then why don't we use it.

Kate immediately interrupted Xia Feng.

I know what you want to say. Why don't we wrap our bodies with this special substance? In fact, our masks contain this substance. However, people generally have a misunderstanding of the Source Stone.

Xia Feng immediately became interested.

What misunderstanding?

Most people think that the culprit of ori disease is the source stone. This is actually not accurate. Untreated source stone does give people a chance of being infected with ore disease, but this chance is not high. It really makes people infected with ore disease. The disease is the elements contained in the air after natural disasters. There is no such thing as Origin Stone in the world, but after natural disasters destroy a city, the remaining elements in the air will destroy the growth of Origin Stones. Therefore, the real culprit is natural disasters, and The emergence of the Source Stone is more like compensation for the world after the natural disaster.

Xia Feng suddenly realized.

It turns out that he had always thought that the Origin Stone was too terrible. The real reason why people suffer from Ore Sickness is the residual elements in the air after natural disasters. This disease-causing element promotes the growth of the Origin Stone. The reason why the Origin Stone causes Humans are infected because the surface of untreated source stone contains the pathogenic element, but the content is very small. As long as it is wrapped with special substances, there will be no problem at all.

The reason why members of the Glasgow Gang were infected before was because the Origin Stones they transported had not been processed and were semi-finished Origin Stones, which led to this small chance of infection.

After listening to Kate's explanation, Xia Feng understood one thing.

Kate, this kid, may have been a doctor who loved fighting before he joined the gang, and his understanding of the Origin Stone is too good.

At this moment, Xia Feng suddenly noticed something flashing beside the street.

He stopped and held the dim light in his hand close.

From the corner of a broken wall, a sparkling thing that looked like a frozen water splash came into view.

This thing is crystal clear, and the core reflects a light yellow shimmer.

Xia Feng pointed at the corner of the wall.

What it is?

Wei Na walked to Xia Feng, and when she saw the thing in the corner, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

This is the Origin Stone Cluster!

Hearing Vina's voice, everyone stopped and came closer.

This thing that Vina calls the Origin Stone Cluster is a little bigger than the palm of a hand and looks more like a petrified aloe vera plant, except that its leaves are golden yellow and square.

Everyone stared at this small cluster of Origin Stones with complicated expressions on their faces.

Wei Na gently stretched out her hand forward, and stopped when her fingertips were less than 1 centimeter away from the Origin Stone Cluster.

Oh, it is such a seemingly insignificant thing, but its value can be worth the income of ordinary people who have worked hard for 10 years.

Hearing Wei Na's emotion, Xia Feng thought secretly in his heart.

It is this seemingly insignificant thing that can make countless people willing to risk their lives to come here.

Veena stood up.

Okay, let's keep walking. It's not safe here. We have to get to E City first.

Wei Na has not been tempted by the immediate benefits. Although she is the only one in the city now, no one knows when other forces will arrive. They must speed up their pace. Only when they reach the relatively safe E City, can they start to feel at ease. Start collecting source stone clusters.

The team started to move forward again. Xia Feng picked up the dim light and held Gui Gui's little hand while marching in the middle of the team.

Walked for about 30 minutes.

The surrounding buildings have obviously become taller and the streets have become wider. Vina walked to the street and raised her hand to wipe away the dust on a street sign.

The signs on the street signs are barely distinguishable.

【MDER-M-S-7】

MDER stands for Mandel City, M stands for the main city, S represents the direction, and 7 is the street. Obviously, they have now passed through City A and reached the 7th Street of the South City District in the center of Mandel City.

Vina looked around. There was a wide square-like area in front of her, and there were many side roads if she continued walking north.

Everyone should take a rest where you are.

yes.

Vina looked at ACE.

Brother ACE, please take charge of your team's vigilance.

ACE nodded.

no problem.

Then Veena called Indra over and whispered instructions to her.

Indra, go explore the road ahead and see which is the closest road to Beicheng District. If possible, it is best to climb to a high place to see which road can lead directly to E City.

clear.

Indra nodded in agreement.

Xia Feng next to him asked worriedly.

Let Indra explore the road alone? What if we encounter danger?

Don't worry. In addition to being a great fighter, Indra also has first-class investigative abilities. It will be more efficient for her to act alone.

Xia Feng looked at Indra.

Then be careful.

Indra glanced at him without saying anything, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Everyone stood there and started drinking water and organizing their equipment.

Xia Feng took Guigui's hand and walked to the street, preparing to rest against a street lamp base.

Turtle, are you thirsty?

Kind of.

Wait, I'll get the kettle out.

Xia Feng turned his body and was about to take off the kettle hanging on his lower back. The moment he turned his head sideways, he suddenly noticed a dark figure standing there in the corner not far behind him.

Xia Feng hesitated for a moment, then frowned. He moved the dim light forward, preparing to see what it was.

Slowly, slowly, he moved the lamp forward.

The whole city was deathly silent, the surroundings were dark, and there was only the coverage of dim lights as far as the eye could see.

Holding the dim light, Xia Feng looked at the black figure for about two seconds.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank instantly, and the low-light lamp in his hand fell to the ground.

A cry of surprise came from his hands and mouth.

Holy shit, it's a human!

The next second, a thick big hand grabbed the collar behind him. ACE rushed forward and quickly pulled Xia Feng behind him.

At the same time, Wei Na and Kate also blocked the turtle next to them.

Vina aimed her war hammer forward, Kate held her battle ax across her chest, and everyone quickly formed a defensive formation with Xia Feng as the center.

Wei Na squinted her eyes and stared at the corner, and a cold voice came from her mouth.

Everyone, listen up, don't hesitate, kill the enemy the moment he shows up!
