Chapter 314: The Hidden Rat Plague, A New Crisis
12:00 AM.
Number 7 Canchino Street, this was Masier's former home.
But after the attack by the mutated King Cobra, this place had already become a ruin.
Mona appeared here without a sound. Her cheetah genes not only enhanced her movement speed but also provided a certain concealment effect, though it was rather ordinary.
Just as she was preparing to send a message to Yu Yuan, Yu Yuan had already appeared in the shadows behind her.
"Mona!"
Hearing Yu Yuan's voice, Mona turned her head to look and let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you confident in your plan?" Mona already knew Yu Yuan was preparing to move against the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
"Miller is one thing, but that Saint... I truly cannot see through him. I always feel he is very likely a hidden danger."
"Don't worry..." Yu Yuan had already taken out a reagent bottle the size of a thumb."All you need to do when you go back is find a way to deploy this in a densely populated area. Especially focus on the areas where Miller and the Saint are located. Leave the rest to me."
"What is this?" Mona took the reagent bottle, somewhat stunned.
On Yu Yuan's shoulder, a small, pitch-black mouse appeared, immediately catching Mona's attention.
Although this was the first time she had seen this mouse, Mona knew that the Stealth Rat had already been subdued by Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan pointed at the reagent bottle and said, "This contains the Hidden Rat Plague released by Zhi Zhi. It has been deliberately modified by it. There's only this one bottle in the short term. If you deploy it in the underground laboratory, within a day, everyone will be infected with the rat plague. That will be our best opportunity to take down the Aurora Animal Assistance Association."
"Zhi Zhi, set an immunity mark for Mona..."
Mona held the reagent bottle in her hand, a flash of surprise also appearing in her eyes.
Her gaze towards Zhi Zhi was also filled with wonder.
"It actually requires special immunity to the rat plague? Does that mean this plague is highly lethal?"
"No..."
"This rat plague's lethality is not high. For the first 24 hours, there are no symptoms. It just has extremely high infectivity, striving to infect everyone in the shortest possible time.
But after 24 hours, it will suddenly erupt, causing infected individuals to experience dizziness, coughing, high fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and weakness in the limbs, finally leading directly to unconsciousness and the loss of all combat and mobility capabilities, but it is not fatal."
"After all, our goal is not to kill those thugs, but to absorb them..."
"What about Miller and the Saint? This plague's effect poses a great threat to ordinary people, but both Miller and the Saint have undergone genetic modification. I'm worried..."
Mona slightly furrowed her brows, voicing her doubts.
"Also, are we moving against the Aurora Animal Assistance Association now? Isn't it a bit rushed?" Mona asked, puzzled.
After all, they had just taken control of the Black Shield Police Department today, and Carmen hadn't even fully consolidated his control yet.
Moving against the Aurora Animal Assistance Association at this time was too risky.
Yu Yuan nodded slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.
"It is indeed a bit hasty. I have necessary reasons for doing this. We'll talk about it later."
"As for the plague's effect, you can rest assured. This plague is not comparable to those ordinary viruses. It has a spiritual effect..."
Wasteland Calendar, Day 47.
Early in the morning, Yu Yuan received messages sent by Carmen and the Alpha.
The Black Shield Police Department was now fully under their control.
The underground material warehouse, armory, and special vehicle garage had all fallen into their hands.
The Enforcers within the Black Shield Police Department had also been incorporated.
In fact, most of the Enforcers and thugs were pragmatic.
After hearing yesterday that Chief Hogg was dead and that Carmen had the support of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, they already understood that Carmen taking over the Black Shield Police Department was the inevitable trend.
No one would be foolish enough to oppose Carmen. All they cared about was whether they could survive.
Early in the morning, Miller the Missionary, accompanied by Mona, personally came to the Black Shield Police Department and formally appointed Carmen.
Witnessed by Mona, Carmen also swore his loyalty to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association before Miller.
Thus, Carmen officially became the highest Commander of the Black Shield Police Department.
On the Virtual Light Screen, the control rate of the Black Shield Police Department had also reached 98%.
Although it wasn't one hundred percent, Yu Yuan was already very satisfied with achieving this level.
After all, it had only been one night since Carmen obtained the highest command authority.
The Black Shield Police Department was completely secured.
And after Mona returned to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, she also opened that reagent bottle and began deploying the Hidden Rat Plague in several key areas.
The areas where Miller and the Saint were located, the Security Forces' area, the laboratories, and the mutated creature holding locations were all her primary targets.
After receiving the message from Mona that the rat plague deployment was complete.
Yu Yuan gathered Carmen, the Alpha, and Mona together.
He began arranging the next phase of the operation.
[Wolf Den · King: Tomorrow night, we officially begin the operation to occupy Johnck Zoo. Carmen, tomorrow night you are responsible for coordinating the defense of the eastern city, mainly dealing with potential combat from other factions.
Mona, provide the location coordinates for the armed hubs, material reserve warehouses, Security Forces center, and command center within Johnck Zoo.
The Jackal squad will enter the zoo with me tomorrow. Our first priority is to neutralize and take over the Aurora Animal Assistance Association's armed hubs, material reserve warehouses, and Security Forces. The command center will be left to me...]
Seeing Yu Yuan's arrangements, Carmen, the Alpha, and Mona all indicated their understanding.
But then Carmen raised his own question.
[Lone Wolf: Isn't it a bit too rushed for us to take the zoo at this time?]
Actually, Mona had raised the same doubt last night.
Naturally, Yu Yuan wouldn't hide anything from them and immediately said:
[Wolf Den · King: Originally, there was no hurry. But an accident happened yesterday. That vampire escaped from our world. The most crucial point is that behind him lies an extremely powerful racial civilization—the Blood Clan.
The Blood Clan and Werewolves are mortal enemies. This race possesses a strong invasive nature. The news about Werewolves appearing in our world has probably already been known by the Blood Clan. If I'm not mistaken, endless war is about to come. Not from those thug factions, but from enemies from other worlds.
The time left for us is not much. Everything else can be planned slowly, but we must take Green Forest City as soon as possible. Only by completely taking Green Forest City and integrating all the resources and population of the entire city can we survive in the coming battles.]
Looking at the message sent by Yu Yuan, Carmen and the Alpha, who were arranging for people to set up cold-proof facilities inside the Black Shield Police Department, and Mona, who had just returned to the underground command center in Johnck Zoo, all changed their expressions.
"Enemies from other worlds! So that's it," Mona thought to herself.
"In that case, this plan absolutely cannot have any slip-ups. It must be foolproof."
Thinking this, Mona walked towards Miller and the Saint, who were reviewing dissection data.
