Randall looked puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

Aldenan jumped out of the skylight in a panic, stumbled in front of Randall, and shouted, "Hurry up!

Carroll grabbed Aldenan by the neck and pressed him under his arm: "Calm down, speak slowly!"

Aldenan's face turned pale, and just as he was about to speak, a roar like a tsunami, from far and near, grew louder and louder.

Feeling the shaking of the ground, Carol swallowed nervously: "I have a bad premonition. ”

Bourweir, who was guarding the gate, suddenly said, "The group is back." ”

"The group?"

Randall turned his head to see that the group of fleeing church soldiers were running back to the corridor in a panic.

Carroll looked at the group of soldiers fleeing towards him and whispered, "It looks like something is chasing them." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a humanoid monster appeared at the end of the corridor.

Dressed in the robes of a church deacon and holding a blood-stained Bible, the monster looked like a human, but his body was covered with black parasites as thick as a child's arm, and his skin and flesh were no longer recognizable.

"The dragon god is on top! what the hell is that!" Bourvell widened, his face full of disbelief.

Carol opened her mouth in surprise and muttered, "Looks like it's a human, at least, it was." ”

Soon, more and more parasitic zombies appeared in the corridor, some of them dressed in gorgeous aristocratic costumes, and some of them looked like ordinary citizens.

When Barbara finds a baby possessed by a black parasite in the monster pile, she can't help but crouch in the corner and vomit.

Soon, hundreds of zombies poured into the corridor, and from a distance, it looked like a black 'sea of worms'.

One of the zombies at the front of the pack lunged at the fleeing soldiers, knocking an unlucky man to the ground.

Hundreds of parasites emerged from the zombies' bodies, accompanied by heart-rending screams, and burrowed into the soldiers' bodies alive.

Seeing this, another soldier hesitated for a moment, then picked up his sword and cut off half of the zombie's head, intending to save his comrades.

Black blood splattered from the zombie's wound and fell directly on the soldier's body, and these "black blood" seeped into the armor and clothes as if it were alive, and directly entered the victim's body.

After only half a minute, parasites began to grow wildly in the victim's body, and these parasites ...... from the human body's eye sockets, mouth, ears Everything emerges from its exits, twisting and dancing in mid-air.

The stunned Randall suddenly reacted, and he immediately ordered: "Close the gate!

Seeing Carroll and Bourville begin to close the gates, Randall turned to the middle of the children behind him and shouted, "Hurry up! Drop all your personal belongings!

"Father Pedro! Father Pedro, did you hear me?!"

Randall shouted twice, but no one answered.

Soon, Randall found a grim-looking Pedro by a pillar, with a lowly crying girl sitting next to him.

Seeing Randall, a smile appeared on Pedro's pale face: "Today is not my lucky day. ”

Randall slowly lifted Pedro's coat, and the glaring blood on the other party's chest made him gasp.

"You...... How come?"

Pedro sighed softly: "When those people opened fire just now, there happened to be a piece of shrapnel ......"

The girl next to Pedro cried and said, "No, the priest is here to save me......"

Pedro touched the girl's face: "It's not your fault, go ahead." ”

Randall frowned and shouted behind him, "Kellogg, come here!"

Soon, the lizardmen came to Pedro's side.

After some examination, Kellogg said, "A piece of shrapnel shattered the lobe of his lung. ”

"Can it be cured?"

"In Twilight, it's not a problem. Here, big trouble. Kellogg looked at the wound again: "I can't save him without the right equipment and medicine." ”

Randall gritted his teeth and said, "Let's make a stretcher and get him out." ”

Kellogg shook his head: "Any movement will exacerbate the wound, and blood will fill his lungs and eventually cause suffocation. ”

Seeing that Randall still wanted to speak, Pedro raised his hand with difficulty and patted the former on the shoulder: "Let me stay." ”

"Stay, you're crazy?!"

Pedro smiled and said: "I've lived in this city since I was sensible, and everything here is like home to me. My grandfather, my father are buried here, and I never wanted to leave here. ”

Randall leaned forward and said anxiously, "Do you see those monsters outside? They will rush in here soon! If you go with us, there is still a glimmer of hope that you will survive......"

Pedro looked at Randall and said slowly: "Child, death is not terrible for me, living a few more years is just to see the world more, and everyone will eventually embark on the same path." What really matters to me is whether I have accomplished my mission in this life, and whether I will be able to have a clear conscience before the Lord when I die?"

Pedro watched the children leave one by one, with a happy smile on his face: "Now I can be sure that in the presence of God, I can proudly tell him that I have fulfilled my mission." ”

Pedro's words made Randall stunned.

Kellogg, the lizardman, showed a rare touch on his face: "Father Pedro, your piety deserves the highest praise!"

Randall hesitated, and while taking out the dragon badge that Todd had given him from his arms, he said to Pedro: "Father, if you insist on staying, then I will not object again." This is a token of the dragon god, and if you touch it, your soul will enter the kingdom of heaven after death......"

Pedro looked at the badge, shook his head slightly, and said, "Mr. Quincy, I believe you are telling the truth, but I will not touch this badge." ”

"Why?"

"If I touch it, I deny my lifelong faith. Pedro pulled out the cross from his chest: "I never thought of turning my back on my gods, my suffering, my suffering, all of which God had arranged for me. ”

Kellogg spat out the letter and said to Randall, "I can understand the priest's feelings, if someone asks me to turn my back on the dragon god, it is tantamount to making me give up everything." ”

Randall put away his badge, glanced at Pedro, and gave up on continuing to persuade.

Just as Randall turned to leave, Pedro stopped him, "Mr. Quincy, if you are lucky enough to meet Lord Arborough, please pass on a message to me." ”

"Speak. ”

"There is always a time when the candle burns out, but the sun never goes out, and both truth and God are always by our side. ”

Randall took note of the words and silently bowed to Pedro.

Soon, all the people in the confessional house disappeared into the entrance of the tunnel...... Except for the priest who sat in the corner and prayed in a low voice.

Listening to the roars and screams coming from outside the door, looking at the crumbling gate, Pedro gently rubbed the cross and said word by word:

"God, in your light, I see the light. ”

"Help us, God, in our pursuit of light and the practice of truth. ”

"Teach us, Lord, so that all may see your presence. ”

"May God Almighty bless us, protect us from calamity, and lead us to eternal life, amen. ”

Pedro exhaled softly and whispered, "It's coming soon." ”

His eyelids grew heavier and his voice became quieter: "It's coming." ”

The cross in the priest's hand fell silently to the ground.

"Here ......
