Pretending To Be A Boss

Chapter 861 - 42: Two Surprises_2

"Dragon Pond Bacteria is a type of bacteria that only survives on dragons, but it first appeared in this world before I created the dragons. If infected by this bacteria, unlike the bacterial infections in the Human World, it results in dragon transformation and might even bring about an enhancement of strength. The only issue is once it spreads to the brain, the infected becomes some kind of monster that only knows how to slaughter."

Bacteria?

What is written here, this type of bacteria is extremely contagious.

During the Pyramid Era's several hundred years, humans indeed brought back soil samples from the mining areas, but only the re

Hearing everyone's words warmed Tang Xian's heart, he said:

"Don't worry, I have already probed. This tower, at least within the range of my sense of smell, is devoid of living creatures, the entire island as well. You all stay here, if there is danger, I will notify you."

Tang Xian was very determined, so Tang Feiji and others did not press further.

Tang Xian indeed probed before, and in this tower, apart from their own group, there truly weren't any other living creatures.

The unease in his heart actually wasn't about a potential powerful creature living here, but rather the meaning this place itself represented.

The stairs were very long, this level was already at the height of the clouds, and Tang Xian found the stairs here to be much longer than those on lower levels.

This signified that from here on, the levels above were different from the previous ones.

Fortunately, the way up was unobstructed, but suddenly, Tang Xian thought of various things.

Throughout human history, there have been many bloody struggles against microbes and viruses.

Through human unity and perseverance, people gradually developed immunity against many viruses.

Therefore, some have said that if a modern person were to travel back to ancient times, the variety of germs they carry could be enough to annihilate the world.

But why then, had there never been infections of these kinds in the mining areas?

On the previously encountered bookshelves, Tang Xian estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of viruses and bacterial species.

Spending years in the mining areas, facing off against all manner of beasts, even if humans there possess strong physiques, what about after returning to the Pyramid?

Unless humans had already developed immunity to those germs.

Unless someone had edited human genetic sequences.

So who was this person?

These thoughts surfaced, and Tang Xian suddenly stopped walking.

He had confronted the Order Keepers and beasts for a long time, and all of a sudden, his mind was in chaos.

What formidable enemy exists here, in this world only Judges could pose a threat to him.

The current Tang Xian is truly second only to one.

Still, he hesitated, somewhat afraid to continue upwards. It was like an unexpected twist had suddenly appeared in an otherwise clear story line.

…

…

Baichuan City.

Three days ago, in the southern part of Baichuan City, a woman arrived.

This woman was dressed ordinarily, appearing no different from the average person. Akasi, who was responsible for patrolling, felt strange as he had not seen this woman before, but he could not remember how many people came and went from Baichuan City daily.
