Protagonist:

Lena

Dominic frowned after hearing this and said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult it is, you must bring the plague under control as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, this year's tithe soldier source absolutely cannot be guaranteed!"

Involving the tithe, Dominic no longer cared about saving face; this was a responsibility of utmost importance.

"I understand, Dominic Adult." Lin En nodded.

"I have already done my utmost, but this time's virus is even stranger than we imagined."

"Strange? How strange?" Dominic asked doubtfully.

"Its transmission routes are too many." Lin En's tone grew heavy.

"Not only can it spread horizontally through droplets and bodily fluids, it can also spread vertically from mother to infant."

"And, the most terrifying thing is..." Lin En paused, saying each word deliberately.

"It can even infect inorganic matter to a certain extent."

"Infect inorganic matter?" Dominic showed a look of incomprehension on his face.

"How is that possible? Viruses can only infect living creatures; how could they infect inorganic matter."

"I didn't believe it at first either." Lin En shook his head with a bitter smile, "but this is the fact."

"At first, we discovered that some civilians who underwent illegal prosthetic modifications in the folk also became infected with the virus."

"Logically speaking, the higher the degree of prosthetic modification, the stronger their resistance to disease should be."

"But later, the situation got worse and worse." Lin En continued.

"The servitors responsible for epidemic prevention, and even the isolation soldiers wearing full protective suits, began to show infection symptoms one after another."

"We checked their protective suits; there was no damage at all, and the seal was intact."

"We also don't know how exactly the virus infected them."

"Now we can confirm that as long as one enters the epidemic area, no matter what protective measures are taken, there is a possibility of being infected."

A virus that can infect inorganic matter?

This simply subverts ordinary people's cognition.

This is no longer an ordinary plague.

This is... Chaos's corruption?

Dominic raised his head and looked at Lin En, his expression turning serious.

"Kaili, could this be... the Lord of Plagues?"

Looking at Dominic's serious gaze, Lin En slowly shook his head, his expression extremely grave.

"I don't know."

"But I know that this time, we've run into big trouble."

"Even more troublesome is that several heretical cults have appeared along with the plague." Lin En's voice carried worry.

Dominic stopped pacing, his frown tightening further.

He leaned against the cold metal office desk, his mechanical prosthetic making a gesture, signaling Lin En to continue.

"Currently, at least four large-scale heretical cults have emerged in the Lower Hive, each occupying different areas, fighting each other, stirring the already chaotic Lower Hive into even more of a porridge."

Lin En rubbed his brow, saying in a heavy tone:

"The first is the Redemption Sect; these people extremely worship the Emperor, hating all existences they deem as 'Enemy of Humanity'."

"They act extremely radically, advocating burning to ashes all who have contacted the infected and all contaminated items, without distinguishing right from wrong."

"The most ironic and heretical thing is," Lin En said here, the corner of his mouth hooking up a barely perceptible mockery.

In his heart he couldn't help but retort, perhaps this was the truest thought in Yellow Skin's heart.

"They do not consider the Emperor a god, but the greatest human in history."

"They proclaim that the Emperor's glory does not need a false church to convey; every believer should use their own hands to purify the world's contamination."

Dominic's face was gloomy enough to drip water: "A bunch of death-seeking fanatics!"

"The second is the old hat Chaos Descent Sect." Lin En continued.

"Every time a disaster occurs, these claws of Chaos will crawl out like flies smelling blood."

"They spread rumors everywhere, saying the plague is the gift of the Merciful Father, inciting people to abandon resistance, embrace Chaos, in exchange for eternal life."

"Many desperate Lower Hive civilians have been seduced by them."

"The third is the Natural Disaster Sect."

"They believe this plague is the heavenly punishment sent down by the Emperor, to punish Brevis's long-standing sins."

"The nobles' extravagance, the bureaucrats' corruption, the slum's decadence."

"They advocate actively embracing the plague, using self-destruction to atone for sins, even going around destroying epidemic prevention facilities, deliberately spreading the virus, wanting the entire Brevis to be destroyed in the heavenly punishment."

"The last one is the Doomsday Sect."

"These people believe in utter nothingness and destruction, having no faith and no purpose, simply enjoying the pleasure brought by destruction."

"Taking advantage of the chaos, they burn, kill, and plunder everywhere in the Lower Hive, blow up pipes, destroy power systems, and create countless tragedies."

When Lin En paused, he looked at Dominic's increasingly ugly complexion and added:

"I have already mobilized all available security troops and Vanguard Army, focusing on suppressing the Chaos Descent Sect, and trying to control the expansion of other cults as much as possible."

"But the Lower Hive is too large; our manpower is simply insufficient."

As for the Purge Plague Sect that he and Lena had founded together, Lin En did not mention a single word.

Under the Empire's very nose, secretly developing the Gene Thief Sect — such a thing absolutely cannot be known by anyone.

After listening, Dominic irritably scratched his hair.

What he is most skilled at in this life is commanding fleets to fight wars, blasting enemies into fragments in space with Macro Cannons and Light Spears.

But these heretical cults hiding in dark corners, these tangled internal affairs troubles.

Are simply more of a headache than facing a Green Skin Fleet ten times his own strength.

He irritably waved his hand and said in a stiff tone: "Enough, I understand."

"Handle these matters yourself; I only want results."

Dominic's meaning could not be more obvious — he does not want to meddle in these messy affairs.

He cares about only two things: one, that Brevis does not go completely to ruin; two, that three billion qualified Tithe Soldier Sources can be gathered on time.

But in his heart, he had already made the worst-case preparation.

He has witnessed the terror of the Chaos Plague, and knows that once this thing spreads, it is almost unsolvable.

Even if Lin En is capable again, I fear it will also be very difficult to completely eradicate this disaster.

He only hopes Lin En can exert his utmost effort, at least to preserve Brevis's Upper City District and Middle City District, and not let the entire Nest Capital become a dead city.

"I understand, Dominic Adult." Lin En bowed slightly, his face showing no superfluous expression.

Dominic waved his hand, signaling that Lin En could leave.
