Just as the industrial revolution that originated from England was about to sweep across the world, an untimely rumor appeared.
Humans who should have died returned from hell and transformed into undead monsters. These terrifying creatures that had lost their humanity would hunt down living humans without stopping, causing slaughter and chaos.
Naturally, human society did not pay much attention to such rumors. However, when a small European country was captured by the undead overnight and turned into a city of death, the world was in an uproar.
Kabanet was the official name of the undead monsters. The humans who were wounded by them and fed on their blood would turn into new Kabanets after a certain period of time. Relying on this method of transmission, the number of Kabanets in the world increased at a terrifying speed.
Apart from the abnormal speed of transmission, Kabane's most terrifying feature was his immortality. Other than the damage to his heart, any injury inflicted on Kabane would quickly recover within a certain period of time.
If he wanted to destroy Kabane's heart, he would have to break through the layer of steel membrane that completely covered the heart.
Due to the limitations of technology, the mainstream weapon of the current era, the steam gun, was completely helpless against the steel membrane.
Unless one's shooting skills and swordsmanship were high enough, they could use bullets or cold weapons to continuously hit the same part of the steel membrane. Only then could they destroy the defense of the membrane and kill Kabane.
However, the difficulty of this was obvious, and in the face of Kabane's massive numbers, this method of killing with extremely low efficiency was like putting out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water.
Due to this, Kabane expanded again and again. Under the threat of Kabane, the human residential areas in the world were also compressed again and again.
The island countries in the Far East built a closed city called " Posthouse " in a relatively safe area. The city was surrounded by tall steel walls to resist the impact of Kabane.
All residents were forbidden to enter and exit the station. The only thing that could travel between the stations was the huge armored locomotive, Jun City, which used McClatchy's mechanism as its power core.
Su Liu's current location was Xianjin Posthouse, a city that mainly produced iron and steam engines.
…
After being taken care of by Ikuma, the cubicle was eaten by Kabanet and fell into a state of suspended animation. Finally, it transformed into a new Kabanet. Sullo and Ikuma also walked out of the kitchen area and arrived on the streets of Xianjin Posthouse.
There was no crowd outside the kitchen. After all, the fear of Kabane was rooted in the hearts of every resident. No one dared to get close.
Even the defense force of Xianjin Posthouse, the steam spearmen and warriors, did not appear. However, it was good that Sullo's identity was not investigated.
Su Liu, who was dressed in "strange clothes", and Ikuma, who was tightly draped in a cloak that covered her upper body, smoothly passed through Xianjin Posthouse and headed to where Ikuma lived.
Along the way, Sue received a lot of information about the current world from the extremely gloomy steed. She had a better understanding of Kabane.
Monsters that were caught between life and death, their only motivation for existence was their desire to hunt for humans. Monstrous strength, high movement speed, amazing recovery ability, and high transmission ability. If one looked at the data panel, Kabane was definitely a combat weapon.
However, there was something wrong with their brains. A battle without the guidance of reason was just a primitive killing of wild beasts. In the hands of skilled hunters, they would only be defeated.
But then again, with Kabane's numbers enough to crush the humans, it didn't seem to matter whether they had skills or not. F2s and Aces were enough.
As for the last point, it was related to Sullo himself. After killing Kabane, he didn't receive any Celestial Spirit Points.
However, whether Kabane's level was too low to receive Faerie Points, or if the number of kills was too low to receive Faerie Points, he still needed to continue observing.
…
Ikuma's single-story cabin had relatively simple living facilities. As far as the eye could see, it was basically filled with steam machinery, various tools, and spare parts. Walking inside, one could smell the smell of steel and machinery everywhere.
Considering his identity as a steam craftsman and his constant private modifications of the new weapons against Kabane, this arrangement did not seem to be out of place. After all, this person was a standard workaholic and technical geek.
However, the green-headed youth could no longer maintain his usual scientific research state. His entire body was now tightly bound by steel wires and iron chains to the inclined iron bed.
The neck was wrapped with an iron coil and connected to the iron bed through a special rope device.
As long as the switch was turned on, the rope around the neck would continue to tighten, and the iron bed would rise into a vertical position. The ikoma would be lifted off the ground, creating a special state similar to hanging itself.
This kind of strange thing had nothing to do with Sue. It was completely created by someone on the spot after Ikuma returned, in order to complete some of the ideas in his heart.
"Hey, Ikuma! Was he really going to do this? No matter how he looked at it, this was too dangerous!”
The slightly plump youth who was asking nervously was Sheng Ju's friend at Xian Jin Posthouse, Cheng Sheng.
Ikuma had a high level of trust in him. After all, he had dared to tell Cheng Sheng about the explosive news of him being bitten by Kabane. The congratulations from these two people could not be described with just one word.
"It's useless. If you're bitten by Kabane, you'll definitely become Kabane! I already…have no way out…I'm not afraid of death, but there are still many things I haven't done, I can't…I can't fall down here! I must survive until I kill all of Kabane!”
"Ikuma!"
Ikuma's determination was fully revealed. She knew how stubborn her friend was and understood the futility of her persuasion. She turned to look at the young samurai standing at the side and said,
"Lord Warrior, can Ikoma really survive by doing this? No, can she maintain her human form?”
Sue looked at Cheng Sheng, who had tears in his eyes and a little anticipation, and felt a headache. He was not an expert in Kabane, so he did not understand the principle of this kind of transmission at all.
According to Ikuma's assumption, the process of a human being completely transformed into Kabane wasn't instantaneous or a one-step process. Instead, it required the factor that belonged to Kabane to circulate throughout the entire body through the human blood.
There were two key points in this process. The first was the assimilation of the heart, and the second was the erosion of the brain. Ikoma's method fell on the brain.
By using the noose device to put himself into a strong state of suffocation and block the upward flow of blood, as long as he survived the most intense period of Kabane's assimilation, he would be able to maintain a normal brain, and with rationality, he would not become Kabane.
This theory was a little complicated to explain. In layman's terms, it could be explained in three sentences:
Once both of his feet left the ground, the virus would shut down, and Smart's IQ would once again occupy the high ground.
Therefore, this seemingly self-explanatory theory sounded like…nonsense to Sue. Although he didn't have any systematic medical knowledge, Ikuma's actions were a little too bold and unscientific!
However, the last bit of hope in Cheng Sheng's eyes made Sue Liu unable to say what he really thought.
"Just call me Sue. Ikuma's method might work, but this kind of thing can only be done by luck. However, even if he didn't succeed, he could only try everything if he didn't want to become Kabane.”
" I…understand." Cheng Sheng fell silent.
"Haha! Thank you, Master Sue, but can I ask you for one more thing?”
Ikuma, who was about to step into the unknown, saw that his good friend had been convinced and laughed loudly, feeling relieved that he would never return.
Sue saw the determination in Ikoma's eyes and understood what he was thinking." Tell me, if it's not difficult, I can consider it."”
"It's just a piece of cake for Lord Sullo…If I really become Kabane, then please kill me immediately!”
Sue nodded. Under the gazes of the satisfied and silent Ikuma and the nervous Ikuma, who was holding their breath, Sue walked up to the switch and pushed it down.
In the next moment, the twisting of the machine and the sound of the noose rang out, accompanied by the uncontrollable screams of Ikuma.
"Ahhhhh!"
