1501 Taboo
Fang Heng thought to himself that Cole had a good attitude.
However, he couldn’t leave this place. Under Cole’s persuasion, he patiently told Cole about what he had said to Shan Fucai.
“In that case…According to my analysis, Edoma should also be one of the occult scholars…”
Cole nodded repeatedly and quickly took notes while muttering to himself.
“I just don’t know if he’s a reformist or a conservative…”
Fang Heng asked casually, “What did you say? The conservative faction? What do you mean?”
“Since you’re already contaminated, I’ll tell you. The first person to discover the contamination was a mage named Anthony. He was believed to be the first to suffer from spiritual pollution. He founded a school of worship based on the abyss. After thousands of years of evolution, the school has gradually divided into two factions in the recent hundreds of years. One of them is the reformist faction, and the other is the conservative faction.”
“Oh? What kind of revolution?”
“It’s probably the way of using strength. I heard that the reformists are more radical, and the conservatives might have always followed some ancient rules. There’s a conflict between the two sides, and the reformists think that some taboos can be abandoned directly…”
“Speaking of which, we have to thank the division between them and the radical reformists. Only then did we gradually realize that there are so many strange things hidden in this world. This time, we realized that those strange ‘taboos’ might be related to pollution…”
“In the past, many people suddenly died because they touched some kind of taboo.”
“So…”
Fang Heng asked the question that he had always wanted to know, “What exactly are taboos?”
“It’s just rules. There are many rules, many, many strange rules.”
“What are the details?”
Cole shook his head, and fear flashed in his eyes.” I can’t say that.”
“Why? Don’t tell me you don’t know about the situation?”
“I know a few articles, I try to analyze them from various reports, but I can’t say it.”
Cole shook his head stubbornly and shrunk his neck, “This is also to help you. The more taboos you know, the easier it is to be contaminated. It is very likely that a new source of pollution will be formed.”
Fang Heng scratched his head, still feeling baffled. He listened to what was being said. Was this human language?
In this world, anyone who touched a taboo would die instantly.
So what was taboo?
Sigh! What a coincidence! That couldn’t be said!
The advanced game world was really difficult…
Fang Heng could not help but sigh.
The problem was that in three hours, his zombie clones would be resurrected. By then, a large number of zombie clones would be resurrected and crowded in this small room.
Those natives were extremely vigilant against themselves.
If so many zombie clones appeared, it would be troublesome.
There was a high chance that a bigger conflict would occur.
Helpless, Fang Heng could only pray.
He hoped that Ruan Ziying would be able to help in time.
…
As time passed, Fang Heng was resting on his small bed.
“Boom!!!”
Suddenly, the small bed shook violently.
Hmm?
Fang Heng almost woke up. He jumped off the bed and carefully observed his surroundings.
In the prison, everyone could feel the shaking ground.
Through the glass window, Fang Heng could see that the people in the other cells had also gotten up and were curiously looking through the glass window.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
The entire prison space lit up with red indicator lights, and the alarm filled the entire prison.
From time to time, fully-armed machines would pass through the tunnel at high speed.
Cole was also startled awake. He leaned towards Fang Heng and asked softly, “Fang Heng, what’s going on? What happened?”
“I don’t know. I wanted to ask you.”
Fang Heng said as he looked at the walkway that was only separated by a glass window.
“Ka…Buzz… Buzz!”
Huh?
Suddenly, the glass door in front of them slowly opened.
For a moment, the glass barriers of the prison opened one after another. The ‘patients’ who were originally locked up were a little confused.
Free?
“Ah!!!”
A shrill scream came from not far away.
In the prison, a young man’s face was extremely distorted. He held his forehead and knelt on the ground, wailing in pain.
“Not good, he’s going to be corrupted!”
Someone shouted.
Fang Heng frowned and glanced at Cole.
What was that?
“When the contamination is above a certain level, a disgusting mutation will occur. This kind of situation is called the state of corruption…”
Cole had seen photos of the corrupted in some reports before, but this was the first time he saw someone enter the state of corruption in front of him. He could not help but feel a little afraid and subconsciously stepped back.
Black mucus and tiny flesh tendrils were seeping out from the five senses of the young man’s body. It was as if a layer of disgusting dark tumors was attached to his body, growing under the stimulation of the flesh tendrils.
In just a short moment, the tumors covered the entire young man. From afar, it looked like a squirming pile of meat.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
What was that?
The monster in front of him looked somewhat similar to a zombie, but there were also huge differences.
“Ah!!!”
Another painful cry sounded.
Some people started to hold their foreheads and wail in pain. Some people even slammed their heads against the wall like crazy.
The situation did not look good.
“Hurry up! Leave this d*mned place!”
“Run!”
When the patients saw this, they were all frightened. In the panic, they did not know who took the lead, but more and more people ran out of the tunnel.
Cole had never encountered such a strange situation before. He was at a loss for what to do.
Soon, most of the prison patients had run away along the passage, leaving only a few people hiding in the room and shivering.
“Let’s go out and take a look. Be careful.”
Fang Heng pulled Cole along and left through the exit.
He still didn’t know what was happening outside.
The so-called corrupted state was also very strange.
No matter what, he couldn’t just stand there and watch when he had a chance to escape.
As he walked along the passage, Fang Heng noticed that more and more monsters were gathering on both sides of the passageway.
They were all products of the corrupted patients who had been imprisoned.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”
A monster appeared in front of Fang Heng and Cole and then stopped strangely.
“Let’s go!”
Fang Heng quickly pulled Cole around and followed the passage all the way to the square outside.
The entire square had fallen into extreme chaos!
There were people rolling on the ground in pain everywhere, and many of them had strange changes in their body parts.
Cole’s face was pale, and his voice was trembling slightly because of his nervousness, “They have all been corrupted at an accelerated rate. Most of these people are already contaminated. They must have triggered a stronger source of contamination, causing them to be contaminated at an accelerated rate…”
Fang Heng sensed a powerful strength fluctuation and could not help but squint his eyes to look up.
