Build a game empire from scratch - Chapter 1261

c1251 A plague breaks out in the space city!

Players seriously underestimate the lethality of the aliens.

It’s not entirely their fault.

After all, they have little understanding of alien creatures.

There are no movies related to aliens in this world. “Predator vs. Alien”, which was supposed to be an opportunity for them to learn about this creature, was abandoned because they broke into the spaceship in advance and captured the Predator and the alien.

The process of capturing the alien only reflects the alien’s ability in combat.

But “combat power” is the thing that players care least about – there are hundreds of thousands of people in the space city. Can you, a humanoid monster who can only kill people with teeth, claws and acid, kill you?

Even if you don’t use a powerful weapon, your life will be piled up to death!

With this mentality, when everyone first discovered that the solid glass cage had a big hole melted for some reason, and the alien inside disappeared, it felt almost like “the cage in the city zoo was damaged and a golden monkey escaped.”

Only the player team selling tickets was a little panicked.

But the panic is also because I am worried that the alien will be accidentally killed by other players and will no longer be able to sell tickets in the future.

They tried to look for it but couldn’t find it for a whole day.

So a little genius had a sudden idea and went to the official forum to publish a “Monster Hunting Notice”.

They strictly followed the format of missing persons notices, solemnly posted photos of the aliens, wrote the aliens’ missing time, missing location, and possible scope of activities. While reminding everyone to pay attention to safety, they also stated that they would “reward as appropriate” for providing information. .

This “Monster Hunting Notice” has a lot of flaws, causing a lot of complaints from players.

It’s just that although many people responded, no one provided any information.

The next day, there was still no news from the alien.

No matter whether it is the local channel of [Space City] or the player forum, there is no trace of the alien. It is like it evaporated out of thin air after running out of the prison, leaving many people confused.

Some people even doubted: Did this alien die quietly somewhere?

Otherwise, why would there be no reaction at all?

…

But the changes have already begun.

[Space City] Farm tycoon, ranch tycoon, and winery tycoon Tang Mingyue can be said to be the few players who care about this matter.

Players are indeed not afraid of death, but he raises a large number of livestock in his pasture. If aliens come in, the loss will be very heavy! So he would count the number and condition of the livestock every day.

The good news: The livestock numbers are not abnormal.

Fluctuations are inevitable, after all, he has to supply external goods every day, but everything is normal in terms of data, and there is no problem with growth or decrease.

But here’s the bad news: the animals suddenly became sick.

And the situation is very serious!

At the time of his discovery, 1,684 cattle, 3,357 pigs and 662 sheep had been infected.

And this number is growing every minute!

Tang Mingyue was shocked on the spot and immediately sent a medical robot to check.

But the medical robot returned in vain, and the system report submitted contained only pages of reports on the physical condition of the livestock.

In the results column, there was only one word that puzzled him: [Unknown infection].

Tang Mingyue was not afraid of being infected, so he drove his car and went to check on the sick cattle and sheep in person.

The infected cattle and sheep showed a state that surprised him—manic, panicked, and weak.

The usually docile cows and sheep rushed towards him like crazy when they saw him, but after running a few steps they fell to the ground weakly, screaming in panic.

The edges of the animals’ eyes were not only bloodshot, but occasionally black threads squirmed, like some kind of parasite moving, which made Tang Mingyue’s scalp numb.

He stood outside the fence, and questions came one after another:

What infected the livestock? Will they die? Can it be cured?

what should I do? Looking for someone to treat you? Or isolate first?

How much damage will the ranch take?

Do you want to be a shady businessman for once and just pretend that you didn’t find out and sell everything? Anyway, if the player eats it, nothing will happen to him. At worst, he will be resurrected after death!

etc! Can these cattle, sheep, and pigs… still be sold?

wrong! wrong! Could these sick cows and sick sheep… have been sold or even eaten by players? ? ?

“Fuck! Fuck!”

The chaotic thoughts stopped suddenly, and Tang Mingyue exclaimed in surprise!

Not wanting to play into the evil thoughts of profiteers, he quickly stopped the automatic supply system and contacted restaurant owners downstream.

He was already the first person to discover the problem, but it was still too late——

Although players have successfully acquired restaurants and restaurants and become bosses, they are only doing it for the ownership of the stores and the profits they bring. In the final analysis, they are still trying to make money to upgrade their spaceships. Who would be the chef to cook for the players?

Well, considering that the virtual world is indeed large enough, it is not ruled out that there will be such players, but after all, they are very few.

There are very few people who really pay attention to the operation of the store. Both the waiters and chefs in the store are still robots, so they were all confused when they received the news about Tang Mingyue.

When they rushed to the kitchen to check the ingredients, they found that more than one-third of the ingredients were labeled “infected XX meat”.

They quickly asked the robot chef to make a dish and re-evaluate it, and found that the dish was marked by the system as——

[Subtle dishes]

Although the name is a bit strange, it can also restore the player’s satiety.

The guests are also players, so they obviously don’t care much about this, and no one even complained.

Bosses realized something was wrong, but the extent of the problem was unclear.

It wasn’t until a player boss ate a portion of [Delicate Dish] and developed [Unknown Infection] three minutes later that everyone was finally sure:

Something is going wrong! !

But no one knew exactly what went wrong, and no one thought about the aliens.

——Everyone’s impressions of aliens, as well as the descriptions in “Monster Hunting Notices”, all tell how scary the aliens are and how powerful they are in combat.

When thinking of aliens, we can only associate them with events such as “monster attacks” and “accidental deaths”.

It doesn’t go well with the plague.

Tang Mingyue and the store owners immediately posted on the forum to issue an early warning to the players——

[warn! An unknown plague has appeared in the space city and has spread widely! Check your status bar quickly! ]

The [Space City] forum section usually lacks breaking news, so as soon as this post came out, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of players.

After everyone saw the description of the “unknown plague”, they immediately checked their status out of curiosity.

And this inspection is incredible:

“Really! Damn it! [Unknown infection], duration unknown?”

“But I don’t feel uncomfortable, right? No! My physical strength seems to be depleting faster in the past two days?”

“Me too! This is outrageous!”

“Fuck, I was eating, and when I saw the post, I checked it out, and it turned out to be a [subtle dish]! I even ate half of it!”

“What’s going on? Yunmeng secretly updated?”

“Then if I don’t get infected, won’t I miss the new plot? No, I have to get infected!”

“Let’s go together! Yunmeng finally remembered to update the content here, I can’t miss it!”

…

The reply told Tang Mingyue: In the entire space city, the number of players infected by this unknown virus accounted for an astonishing number, possibly far beyond his imagination.

But none of the players cared. They just excitedly discussed what was going on and whether Yunmeng secretly updated the new plot.

To be honest, Tang Mingyue thinks the same way now.

He even wanted to contact Yunmeng’s customer service to ask whether the government would reimburse him for the cattle and sheep lost due to the disease.

——In the fence not far away, those cows and sheep that were mad and crazy before have now collapsed to the ground helplessly, whining and seeming to be dead.

Tang Mingyue only thought about whether these losses could be undone, and did not notice: the belly of those cattle and sheep was becoming more and more abnormal…

Thanks to [Qiao Chang] for the 1500 point reward.
