716: Chapter 716: This Can’t Be My Fault, Right?

Zhao Guang continued his research, and recently, he had conducted certain studies on diamonds as a new energy storage material, after all, it was merely a kind of resonance and utilization between thunder and diamonds.

At the same time, for new useful species, he gradually found suitable organisms.

Speaking of which, finding organisms that could be useful without needing a magic environment to grow was somewhat difficult.

However, after plenty of Rabbitfolk had searched and experimented everywhere, some species had caught Zhao Guang’s eye.

Next were some cultivation and experiments, and once successful, they could be sent over to Earth.

Right beside his main city, there was a special plot of land, completely encased with Anti-Magic Crystals.

This place was designed to mimic the environment on Earth, specifically for studying various special organisms.

Although this place was also known as a research base, most magic users did not like to be near it.

After all, no one liked to stay in a place where they couldn’t use even a fraction of their power.

But during the research process, what Zhao Guang hadn’t expected were increasing disturbances in Bo Yan’s territory.

It started with zombies appearing sporadically, which could be eradicated with a clean sweep.

But later, these incidents became more severe, with zombies appearing all over the place.

Even the soldiers under Bo Yan had begun to turn into zombies.

Bo Yan was very anxious and bought a large quantity of counteracting potions from Zhao Guang’s place.

However, although these potions were useful, they seemed not quite effective against the problem, capable only of prevention and alleviation.

Once the zombification process really started, the potions were almost useless.

In just a few days, watching themselves slowly turn into zombies, was there anything more terrifying than this?

Gradually, panic began to spread in Bo Yan’s domain and was getting worse.

At this moment, a large number of refugees had started fleeing, no longer daring to stay there.

Not just there, but the surrounding domains were also experiencing the same problem.

However, this situation was actually beneficial for Zhao Guang, as the slave traders could easily capture a large number of slaves again.

After learning about this, the first thing Zhao Guang thought of was to place large orders.

Then, just like last time, he directly led them to his territory.

His guidance last time had given him great benefits, and he wanted the same this time.

But the only problem was, once he let them flood in, that special plague would also come along.

Suddenly, the sound of knocking arose.

“Come in,” Zhao Guang called toward the door.

At this time, it could only be Xi Fei, even other important figures wouldn’t come at this hour.

Sure enough, Xi Fei opened the door and walked in, holding a large number of documents in her hands.

Looking at Xi Fei’s eyes, she seemed somewhat exhausted, it had been a very busy time.

It couldn’t be helped, a territory in a rapid growth phase always had many issues, especially when surrounded by strong enemies.

“Coming at this time, is there something important?” Zhao Guang was about to head back.

Xi Fei spoke, “We have roughly identified the cause of the plague in Bo Yan’s territory in the eastern part of the Empire,” this was an order Zhao Guang had previously given them, to find the cause.

“What is it?” Zhao Guang was somewhat surprised, the plague was spreading far too quickly.

Moreover, the most critical thing was that conventional medicines and methods were practically useless.

Even though the Temple might have a solution, what surprised Zhao Guang was that the first thing the Temple people did was to evacuate.

Then they made excuses not to involve themselves, which was truly unexpected.

One would have thought that such a situation would provoke the Temple folks to rush to gain some esteem.

They just shouted about it from afar but would not come over to help.

In such circumstances, the devotees’ faith became even more devout, as if it were the only way to escape the catastrophe.

Sometimes, what people are thinking is really hard to understand.

Xi Fei spoke up directly, “It’s the rats, we’ve found that the transmission pathway for this undead plague is through rats.

Many people start to turn into zombies after being attacked by these rats, and there are a lot of rats around there now.”

Zhao Guang quickly fetched the information he had, which contained research on those rats.

Indeed, this research only he possessed, others had not yet realized the cause.

The data indicated that in the Bo Yan’s territory, a very peculiar kind of rat had appeared.

These rats looked like ordinary ones, but they were actually a special type of undead, with extremely high physical capabilities and strong aggressiveness.

The key was that these rats seemed to still retain biological wariness and wouldn’t attack recklessly.

Anyone attacked by these rats would start zombifying, and if potions were not used immediately, after some time, death was certain.

And typically, these rats were found in very dirty and disorganized places.

Even if people were attacked, they wouldn’t care much, as such incidents were common.

As a result, these rats led to the undead starting to spread everywhere around that area.

If they could not be contained, then the spread would be incredibly fast, as there were simply too many rats.

Moreover, Zhao Guang discovered that this plague was almost exclusively targeting humans and rats, and although it affected other animals too, the impact was minimal.

Essentially, certain conditions had to be met for other animals to also turn into undead.

“It seems that this virus indeed originated from rats.”

While saying this, Zhao Guang felt a sudden chill—it couldn’t possibly be his fault, could it?

Zhao Guang remembered, back when he had explored the ruins, he had summoned a bunch of rats.

He had thought those rats were all cleanly dead, but it appeared some unknown mutation had occurred.

After all, he had released these rats with a new type of undead spell he modified himself.

The spell was the original, but he had made some modifications.

So, it was possible that some mutations occurred, indeed, undead magic was really very dangerous.

Crucially, the description of those mutated rats in the data was very similar to the ones he had summoned.

With Zhao Guang’s experience, he naturally could link his past actions with this issue.

Unexpectedly, unlike undead that stayed within the ruins, these rats did not confine themselves.

However, to have been able to suppress it until now before it erupted, who knows what happened in between.

Now it was winter, the weather cold.

If waited until the weather warmed up, the speed of spread would be even faster.

Should it catch the attention of the undead mages in the North, it was hard to say what would happen.
