Chapter 250: Meet Elton Again
As a result, the workers had to huddle into small, poorly ventilated dwellings, like Chris had previously worked at the carriage shop, where six of them lived in a small room.
The air was filled with not only the smell of food and body odor, but also the smell of feces and urine wafting from the same floor.
In Federenburg, the rich use toilets almost entirely in their homes, but the poor have to dump their filth into the manure pits.
At a fixed time, you have to hire a toilet cleaner to clean the pits.
But because of poverty, and the stinginess of the landlords, the workers may be able to prolong this cost indefinitely, and the rate of clean-up is completely incomparable, so except for the slightly more affluent working families, no bathroom is clean and fresh.
And once it's summer, if those dirts are not cleaned up in time, they will emit an even more terrible smell under the warm care of the sun.
To make matters worse, some of the dilapidated houses have manure pits built underground.
The excrement inside is absorbed by the mud and seeps into the nearby river.
In addition, the waste water from people's lives and the dirty water from washing clothes will flow into these water sources, so it is only a matter of time before they get sick.
Some experts have even reported that there will be a pungent stench coming from the walls of some poor homes. This is mostly due to the accumulation of dirt over the years, as well as the infiltration of dirt from the upper floors.
But the government has nothing to do about it, and if it is all demolished and rebuilt, who will pay for this huge amount of money? And where do the poor live?
In sparsely populated villages and towns, there may be plenty of time for the manure to decompose on its own.
But in the more crowded cities, it takes a lot of human and financial resources to clean up the household waste and excrement, and this is certainly paid for by the government itself.
In the midst of this sudden disaster, the source of the disease outbreak was the pervasive stench in the air.
The stench is not only unpleasant, but most importantly harmful to health.
This is because the decomposition of manure produces biogas, which includes toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide.
Inhaling these gases can cause not only sore eyes and throat and burns, but also some symptoms of fever, cough, difficulty breathing, and fluid accumulation in the lungs.
Long-term exposure to these stenches can also lead to memory loss, dizziness, indirect drowsiness, and even coma, shock, and death.
What the two major churches in Federenburg know is that it is clear that there must be a "witch of disaster" behind this incident.
And Wardhouse and other insiders knew more clearly that the other party was obviously the city lord's wife, Sally.
Because Bonnie had been in the church hospital all day, busy looking after those who were ill, and Elton had already betrayed and fled, the fifth "Punisher" team was now only six people led by James.
James and Bert are in a group, Jeffrey and Wayne are in a group, and Chris and Paul are in a group.
Three teams patrol the streets under their jurisdiction day and night.
On Wednesday afternoon, Chris went into a sewer on Hartbury Street because of some of Paul's discoveries.
In this filthy sewer, they meet an old acquaintance, Elton Campbell.
At this time, he was swollen all over his body with bright red spots on his skin, and one eye was even bleeding pus, and his appearance was miserable, and he had completely lost his previous spirit.
"Ha, here you are. Seeing the two uninvited guests, Elton's somewhat hoarse voice sounded, "I didn't expect to see you here in this life." ”
Chris furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and it was hard to imagine that the former teammate, who was also a "scholar" with him, had become what he is now.
"Aren't you supposed to be at the Gates of Hades?" asked Paul, who was beside Chris, in disbelief, "what about your lover, Miss Bella, and why didn't she care about you?"
Chris looked at Paul a little speechlessly, you are deliberately rubbing salt into the wound, if the "Gate of Hades" is willing to take care of him, how can he be like this.
I only heard Elton's "bah", a mouthful of thick phlegm spit in the sewage of the sewer, and sneered:
"That stinky bitch, she's been using me! The pills she gave me are simply uncontrollable, and they're trying to stall for her!
"Haha, as you can see, I'm in a semi-out of control state now, and I could completely lose control and become a monster at any moment. ”
You know that's it...... Chris walked up to the ugly and deformed Elton and persuaded:
"You can go back to church with us now, although you may spend the rest of your life in prison, we will definitely do our best to heal you, and I believe the boss will approve of this. ”
Paul behind him also looked at Elton with concern, nodded approvingly:
"yes, you can go back to church with us, Sister Wayne...... I've been missing you. ”
Elton was silent for a few seconds, his eyes visibly shifting, as if he was hesitating their proposal, and then his swollen lips opened and he muttered:
"In that case, then I will ...... with you"
Just when Chris and Paul thought that Elton had promised to go back with them, a change of heart struck!
I saw a scarlet sticky tail coming quickly from behind Paul, and Chris's spiritual madness warned him and hurriedly reminded Paul behind him:
"Watch your back!"
But it was too late, and in Paul's frightened eyes, the scarlet, sticky tail wrapped tightly around his neck, and then he was thrown against the wall of the sewer with great speed, and Paul lay motionless in the sewage.
Chris hurried to Paul to investigate his injuries, but Elton clearly wouldn't give him the time.
I saw that Elton's body was rapidly swollen, and the red spots on his body were getting bigger and bigger, and finally even scarlet blood flowed out, but Elton seemed to be unconscious and painful about it.
In the end, in front of the enraged Chris, he turned into an inhuman monster with a huge scarlet tail and foul-smelling blood and pus flowing from his body.
"Kill you, and Bella will love me again! Kill you, and Bella will love me again......"
I saw that the monster formed by Elton's out-of-control roared incessantly, looked at Chris with scarlet evil eyes, and then attacked.
Chris quickly activated his spirituality, only to see dense fireballs, like machine guns smashed towards Elton, as a sequence 7, his spirituality at this time is ten times that of sequence 8.
Therefore, although it is only the magic skill of the "Arcanist", its power has increased several times.
