Chapter 179 On the Road...
After resolving the issues here, Dahei returned to the manor first. Now all the weird creatures have become a new group of followers - the Pans. Dahei needs to go back to maintain order and select some suitable Pans to be matched into the human front as the first batch of "couriers".
These Pans, who are responsible for transporting important supplies, also need strength. The things they carry are generally items containing energy, which are not only needed by humans, but also coveted by infected bodies and wild beasts. During the transportation process, they will certainly often encounter roadblocks, and at that time, the Pan who is suitable for combat will need to take action.
Although Pan is docile and cute under Zagros's command, once he is outside, his strength is S+.
Pan and Madame Bacchus are both followers of the god of wine. Madame Bacchus is composed of women, while Pan is composed entirely of men. Unlike Madame Bacchus, Pan does not have the power of wine.
They inherited part of the power of the plant god Zagros, and possessed the natural divine power of Zagros' nature, mountains, countryside, music, etc. In other words, the Madwoman's fighting style is close to that of a warrior, while Pan is a long-range mage.
Pan is a creature who loves nature and music. Various musical instruments are hidden in his wool, but most of them are panpipes. In Zagreus's kingdom, Pan is responsible for playing music, and the madwolf dances for him.
But Pan also possesses the power of fear. The poems and music that Pan plays or sings carry the power of nature. They bring healing effects to the madwoman by playing music.
However, due to his strange predecessor, Pan also inherited many abilities that only evil spirits have, such as the ability to become a virtual being and enter dreams. These abilities allow them to carry a strong mental impact when launching attacks, and are particularly good at causing fear and panic in people's hearts. Therefore, Pan, who now has both strong combat power and the ability to become a virtual being, has become an excellent choice for escorting supplies.
The way the Human Front delivers goods is extremely special. There is an invisible line between Alaya and all humans. When Pan joins the Human Front system, as long as someone needs to exchange important energy materials, Pan can use his ability to become virtual and quickly deliver the goods to the destination along this invisible line.
This mode of delivery is both efficient and safe, and also enables the human front to quickly meet demand for critical resources in various locations.
However, as a hired worker, Alaya will also extract a lot of negative emotions from people. These negative emotions are also a "snack" for Pan, and it can be regarded as a win-win situation. Moreover, since the lowest level of the items Pan is responsible for transporting is above level B, there is currently no need for too many Pans to participate in the human front.
Back to Zagrous, it was already afternoon when they finished dealing with the hospital matters. The two of them found an empty house. Since Gaia released Wang Shun's authority, although the ability to destroy was confiscated, the abilities of other spaces were still there. For Wang Shun now, space was like a door. As long as he wanted, he could ignore the entity and cross over.
This ability is useful, but it consumes a lot of energy, so Wang Shun only uses it to pass through walls.
The house they found was relatively clean, and they didn't have to destroy the doors and windows, which meant they didn't have to worry about being attacked by the infected. It wasn't that he was afraid, but it was mainly because Zagros didn't like the filthiness of these infected bodies. The smell of corruption or the stinking blood these infected bodies carried was extremely uncomfortable for Zagros, who had keen five senses.
He had been wondering why the infected bodies and zombies, which were also dead creatures, were no longer in the underworld. Now he understood that being a face lover is a common problem among the Olympian gods. Hades might refuse to acknowledge the existence of these things that have no aesthetic appeal at all. Instead of keeping them and wasting resources, it would be better to directly transform them into underworld energy to nourish all things. Therefore, these species do not exist in the underworld of the Greek pantheon.
Zagrous is also a beauty lover, and these infected bodies do not conform to his aesthetic sense. Although they are a bit ugly, they are still a powerful weapon for mortals. So Zagrous came out this time to collect some samples, not many, just some strong ones to extract the virus.
However, he didn't know why this type of virus was taken away by his power of death. His power of death also specially generated a petri dish for cultivating these viruses. When Zagros saw it, he immediately said, "Wow!" This petri dish will continue to transform the virus according to the power system that Zagros has come into contact with, and is determined to allow all living things to be successfully infected. If he doesn't like the world in the future, he will spread the viruses of these infected bodies, and it is not impossible to create an alien version of the Resident Evil.
But after thinking about it, Zagros stopped the idea. He considered himself a good god on the side of the lawful camp. Once these modified viruses were spread, it was estimated that at least half of the humans in other worlds would be wiped out. It was possible that the godhood of zombies could be condensed for him. However, when he thought that he had such a godhood, he must have a clone of the zombie god, so he rejected the virus from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Shun looked at Zagros who was slumped on the sofa, and began to skillfully make the bed in the bedroom. Since he came out last time, Zagros felt that this tool man was becoming more and more handy, so he gave him a set of bedding made of golden wool.
This was naturally the golden fleece that Zeus had asked Gaia, the goddess of the earth, for to save him from death. This golden fleece did save him, but the miraculous power of the fleece had disappeared. However, its essence was still a rare material.
Later, Hera asked Athena's most skilled priest to use the golden fleece to weave a golden cloud bed as Zagros' bed. This was because Zagros, who had just been resurrected, often could not control his divine power, and even the materials of the divine realm could not withstand it. Fortunately, the golden fleece had the property of not being damaged, so it was the best bed for Zagros, who could not control his power at the beginning.
In addition to preventing Zagros from being damaged, Gaia was afraid that Zagros would fall into madness like the previous two gods, so she gave him the Golden Fleece to soothe his soul. Whenever Zagros slept on it, he would be immersed in the tolerant and loving power of Gaia, the Mother Goddess of the Earth. Therefore, this artifact is considered a very rare artifact in the entire divine realm.
However, in the God Realm, he was only a child of several hundred months old, so it didn't matter if he used this. But in this world, he looked like the adult Huang Jue. It would be a bit eye-catching if he still used the cloud. So he just turned it into a blanket or a pillow and gave it to Wang Shun. Every time, Wang Shun would lay it out for him in advance.
Nothing in the night
The next day, due to the characteristics of the Golden Fleece, Zagros slept until noon. When he woke up, Wang Shun had already prepared lunch. There was also a lot of food thrown into his space by Zagros. Anyway, the space was large now and it would not go bad, so Wang Shun could be regarded as Zagros' full-time housekeeper.
After happily finishing their meal, the two of them reappeared on the street. This was already the urban area, so there were a lot more people coming out at noon to look for supplies or hunt infected bodies.
Ever since the redemption mall was opened, all humans have realized that if they want to survive and live a better life, the only way out is to hunt the infected. Yesterday, Gaia went back and updated the mall overnight. She raised all prices by 30%, forcing humans to hunt the infected, and she also adjusted the price of mutant seeds.
The supernatural seeds that originally required one hundred crystal cores now only require 50, and the qualification for redemption in the mall will be open again in ten days, but the qualification for opening it will be increased to ten crystal cores by then.
Now that humans have learned about the mall, they will naturally not miss this opportunity, so everyone is like crazy during this period of time. At noon, they begin to come out in groups to look for infected bodies, taking advantage of their fear of light to hunt them.
When Zagros and his companions walked on the street, they often saw several "fully armed" people violently breaking down some doors and forcibly dragging out the infected inside. However, they would occasionally fail. After all, with such a big noise, the infected hiding in other places could easily rush out collectively and be killed directly. Anyway, the whole street was in chaos and full of howling everywhere.
However, with the large-scale cleaning of humans and the strengthening of human strength, the city roads are indeed relatively safer. With the help of leaflets distributed by military psychics using their superpowers, many people can be seen on the roads carrying packages and holding homemade weapons and moving towards safe areas.
Zagreus was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down to hide his extraordinary appearance. He and Wang Shun moved quietly among the crowd. After all, humans formed a large army, and many infected bodies were attracted by the movement. However, many of the able-bodied ones in the crowd rushed to the periphery, while the elderly and children were protected in the center.
Zagreus was very satisfied when he saw this scene. This proved that the strange wave that had been set off before had worked. That group of people cleaned out the vast majority of humans with dark hearts. Without these bad apples, humans could be better united. Therefore, he was generous in bestowing his love on this part of humans.
In a place that no one noticed, golden energy was continuously emanating from Zagros, and this energy was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Countless energy particles were like tides, constantly shuttling and circling among the crowd. They seemed to have life, actively looking for people who were filled with despair and fatigue, and when they came into contact with these people, they would take away the despair and fatigue in their hearts.
Under the influence of these energies, everyone's originally heavy steps became light, and the fatigue of the body gradually disappeared.
