Chapter 25 Return
"Requirements? What are the requirements?"
"I'm going to enter the black fog area, I need a guide." Soya said.
"I don't seem to have any other choice..." Ashes' eyes moved back and forth between the two women.
"You can refuse. I won't publish your real age. You will be sent to O'Connell... If you can break through the age limit and successfully awaken, all the problems will be solved, but if you can't, you know the ending."
"But entering the black fog area is also a dead end, right?"
"Although I don't recommend that you put your hope on miracles, if both roads are dead, it's better to choose the one with a higher chance of survival." Margaret said, "By the way, I have to tell you that over the years, not only hasn't a seed over the age of sixteen been able to become an awakener, but no one can escape that place... O'Connell is not only a training camp, but also a prison."
A choice with a higher chance of survival...
If Soya is rejected, even if she can leave the quarantine, she will be sent to O'Connell. There will be two years left in the ashes... But what can he do in these two years?
Do you have to try your best to activate the power hidden deep in your body? Or do you find a way to escape from that place?
Judging from the information currently available, the number of people who have overage awakened age is zero, and the number of people who can escape from O'Connell is also zero. Margaret does not need to fake this number. As she said, when she was sent to that place, she had nothing to do with Margaret.
Ashes never regard themselves as the creator of miracles. Imagination alone cannot give people the ability to exceed their own limits, but will instead give their lives in vain.
And another option... Not to mention where the Huangquan Training Camp is, first of all, he must join Suoya as a "guide" to enter the palace area shrouded in black fog.
But in fact, after having the corresponding vaccine, the plague fog that everyone felt was not that deadly. Soya also said that the black fog was just the incarnation of Dippest, not the true body of the Sixth Apostle.
The plague fog itself has no attack power. In historical records, there are also plague doctors and soldiers responsible for epidemic prevention who continue to work under the plague fog. There are still many of them who can escape from the epidemic area.
"...Well, I can serve as your guide, but I need to know the purpose of your entry into the Black Mist Zone, and if there is a evacuation plan, it's better to tell me too."
"The purpose is to investigate the source of the plague fog. As for the retreat plan, there is, but your authority level is not enough, I can't tell you." Soya took out the badge that she had shown to Margaret and the others from her pocket and threw it to the ashes. "As long as you can cooperate with me to complete the task, you can survive."
"..." Ashes grabbed the badge and looked carefully - this is an extremely special alloy. Whether it is a common metal in the civil field or a special alloy controlled by the empire, the name of this material cannot be found among them. It has extremely high hardness, quality, and anti-counterfeiting.
Put the badge into the close-fitting pocket, Ash picked up the cotton swab, and applied the remaining vaccine solution to the inside of his nose...
...
...
As the toxicity of the second batch of vaccines has been greatly reduced, the symptoms of the weakened plague took almost twelve hours to appear on the vaccinated person. Compared with the high fever and chickenpox on the 15th, this time the vaccinated person only felt weak all over and had rashes on his skin - and even this symptom subsided in just over an hour.
But this made Ashes not happy at all.
The toxicity of the vaccine is too great... If everyone hadn't seen the tragic situation of the first infected person at the beginning, no one would have believed that the vaccine was carrying the plague virus... Even the symptoms that appear after vaccination for seasonal infectious diseases such as influenza would be stronger than this.
"Can this vaccine really work?" Margaret asked with some concern.
"According to the theory... no matter how toxicity of the virus is weakened, the pathogen remains unchanged. Many high-quality mature vaccines that have been vaccinated for dozens of times will not even cause any response to vaccination. Some viruses that have completely become inactive can also be used as vaccines... But the problem is..." Ash frowned, and he desperately recalled all the information related to plague and vaccines in his mind. However, no matter how many times he searched his memory, he could not find any close examples.
"The problem is that the toxicity of the vaccine is weakened too quickly. This is only the second vaccination, and it is not considered a 'cooked seedling' at all, right?" Margaret took over the ashes' words.
"Yes...this has never happened." Ashes nodded.
"There is not much time left." Soya said on the side. According to the observation post sent out, during this period, the range of the black fog has maintained an evenly expanding trend, and now several blocks adjacent to the palace area have been swallowed up.
According to Soya's original plan, even without this vaccine, she would still enter the black fog area.
"This is a spare protective suit, put it on." She suddenly took out a heavy package from her backpack and handed it to the ashes.
The package is a set of fully enclosed protective clothing with extremely well-made workmanship. Not only are there airtight valves on the wrists and ankles, but even the protective clothing hood and transparent mask are tightly sewn. Just buckle the lock and then remove the air from it, so that the wearer can be completely isolated from the outside environment.
As for the respiratory system, it is divided into a set, one of which is a circulating filtration system located directly under the mask. When the external environment is not too harsh, this filter system can be used to directly obtain the oxygen needed for breathing from the outside world... When the filtration system can no longer meet the purification needs, it can open the valve of the oxygen supply tank and directly breathe the oxygen generated by the reaction of the oxygen generator.
This oxygen generator has been improved by scientific research departments. During the reaction, it will not only produce oxygen, but also produce twice the harmless gases. In this way, the oxygen content is exactly one-third, avoiding the risk of direct breathing of high concentrations of oxygen that may cause oxygen poisoning.
According to the specification labels on the supply can, the oxygen generator in such a palm-sized metal can react continuously for more than six hours, which is enough for ashes to walk back and forth in the palace area.
The size of the protective suit is a bit small compared to that of adult men. It should be a style tailored for Soya, but it looks a bit fat when worn on Ashes. I have to tie up the sleeves and trousers with a tie.
Soya also put on a set of exactly the same protective suit, and then put the light armor that was taken off on the outside of the protective suit.
Ashes noticed that this light armor was not the kind of conventional armor worn by Edward. It was equipped with precision transmission devices in the moving joints. With Soya's movements, white steam would eject from the hidden exhaust holes - obviously, this light armor itself has power and can strengthen the wearer's strength and speed to a certain extent.
This kind of ashes has not been heard of, but this is the first time he has seen such a delicate model. The conventional power armor is all bulky and thick. Even if it uses expensive black gold as energy, the activity time is extremely short, and it can only last for ten minutes to fill up the fuel.
