In the blink of an eye, it had been almost four months of sailing, which meant that the fleet could not return to the offshore before the storm, and Viscount Eric's face became cloudy when he looked at the deep and gloomy sea.

"Report to Lord Viscount, the death toll of the fleet yesterday has been counted," Eric's captain of the guard said with a sad face: "Another 64 people died, and the bodies of nearly two hundred new people began to fester, and the cold and fever can no longer be counted, there are too many." ”

His words made the Viscount's already slightly gloomy face even more gloomy, as if squeezing out water. "And," said the captain of the guard after a pause, "there are quite a few people who have become very mentally bad, and even a few have gone completely crazy and started attacking the other crew members, and although they have been subdued, the others may not last long." ”

"Throw them all out into the sea to feed the fish," continued the viscount in a slightly hoarse voice, "not only the untouchables, but even the knights, lords, and even you are almost overwhelmed. The viscount sighed and asked slowly, "How many people have we lost in this strange disease and other large and small diseases over the past few days?"

"Report to Lord Viscount" The captain of the guard looked at the parchment roll again, took a deep breath, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "From a month ago to now, a total of more than 2,300 people have experienced ulcers with different symptoms, and there are currently 1,200 people with fever symptoms similar to those of the precursor. More than 400 people have died. ”

"Besides......" said the captain of the guard, but seeing that Viscount Eric's face was getting more and more gloomy, he could not speak for a while, but the viscount waved his hand and motioned for him to continue, so he cleared his throat and said, "There are nearly two hundred more people who have been thrown overboard or attacked by madmen and have died of serious injuries, and the number of wounded is several times greater. ”

At this moment, another knight came with the internal officer, and the internal officer's face was a little frightened, and the face of the knight of the guard was not very good.

"Lord Viscount, Bourcho, the Interior Officer, has bad news for you. The knight left the officer aside, and he himself came up to report to Eric.

"Let him come" Eric looked at the situation, a bad premonition permeated his heart, but he still suppressed his voice and said to the internal affairs officer who came over, "What happened again?"

"Big... Your Excellency," the Internal Affairs Officer stammered in that trembling voice, "There is bad news, we have run out of medicines. ”

"What!" Although Eric was mentally prepared, this incident was still out of his medical treatment, and he suppressed his anger and said to the internal officer: "How can this happen, the drug ration has even more than doubled compared to the general ration, and it was counted in front of me!"

Eric was worried that Count Rabbittail was doing something in the amount of supplies, all the materials were counted by him and his cronies, and the result was really nothing unusual, Count Rabbittail didn't seem to cut corners to withhold supplies, and this ration was also his only reliance on the sea, but now the internal affairs officer told him that the medicine was about to run out, how could this be possible.

"I... How dare I deceive you" The internal affairs officer, who saw that something was wrong, became even more nervous: "Because the patient is too ... There are too many, all kinds of drugs have been tried, and some of them have been consumed, and many of the medicinal materials are shoddy, and the most important thing is that a large number of drugs have been mixed together, and the medicinal properties are conflicting, and many drugs are no longer usable. ”

Hearing this, Eric felt a feeling of dizziness hit him, swallowed his saliva and asked the Internal Affairs Officer again, "How much medicine is left to use... How long can it last. ”

"If we follow the current consumption of treating the sick," the internal officer thought for a moment again, and said cautiously, "it can only be used for less than ten days." If the medicine for those dying untouchables is stopped, it should still last for about half a month. ”

"Half a month..."Viscount Eric groaned, waved his hand, and motioned for the internal officer to step aside, but at this moment his face was gloomy, but it became calm, and muttered: "Is it over?" ”

Seeing Viscount Eric's expression, the captain of the guard hurriedly comforted the Viscount and said, "Maybe we can find a way, Lord Viscount." ”

"Leave me alone for a while, Knox," Viscount took another deep breath, turned his head to look back at the deep sea, and said no more, except for a hint of madness in his calm eyes.

Sergeant Alez has not had a good time lately, the strange disease has spread too widely, and the circle of each ship is so large, every day you can find people around you with symptoms or even worsening and dying. As a considerable part of the sailors became incapacitated, servitude soldiers like Alets also took up their posts.

Compared with the sudden workload, what is more terrible is the people's hearts, and there are rumors among the soldiers that they will be thrown into the sea as long as the disease worsens, so that everyone wants to cover up their illness, and it also makes everyone endanger themselves, for fear that the people on the side will be infected and infect themselves, and for a while, a kind of panic and hostility appeared in the soldiers' groups, and there is a trend of intensification.

"It's the curse of the god of storms," said Soldier Hamm, Alex's roommate, with a shudder, "We ignored God's warnings and tried to cross the storm, and now we are all going to die!"

"Calm down, Hamm, it's just a disease, it's just that we're so unlucky, there's always a way, it's going to be solved. The kinder farmer Jilong comforted him like this, the people of Jilong are very honest, and the relationship with everyone is not bad, even in the current situation of terror, his hearty voice is still convincing.

"We ...... All sinners, all unforgivable......" Hamm's voice became sharp and loud, and unexpectedly he pulled out the short knife at his waist and slashed at Giron's neck, and roared in his mouth: "All sinners deserve to die, and I who destroy sinners will be redeemed...... Hiss ......"

The knife hit Gillon in the neck, Giron's face was shocked, blood spurted from his mouth and wounds, splashing Hamm's face, Hamm's distorted expression and this bloody outfit made everyone present tremble in their hearts, and for a while, no one dared to move forward.

Hamm had already withdrawn the short knife, sucking the blood from the knife, his scarlet eyes turned his gaze to the remaining ones, and the original prayer in his mouth had turned into a scream of unknown meaning, which was terrifying.

At this moment, Alez had already come to his senses, and he had no time to ask Hamm why, so he picked up a thick wooden stick in his hand and slammed it into the back of Hamm's head.

The stick was indeed solid, and even to the surprise of Alez, Hamm's head was like a piece of clay, and most of the arm-thick stick was sunk into the back of his head. And the most shocking thing was not this, Hamm's mouth was still full of words, as if he had not been affected in the slightest, and the faces of several people facing him turned pale, and the most timid Kirov even trembled and fell to the ground.

An ominous premonition came out of Alex's heart, and he hurriedly drew the stick, but the stick seemed to be embedded in Hamm's skull, and he could not pull it out, so he had to take a few steps back, and reached out to touch a short spear.

At this moment, Hamm turned his head, and a terrifying human face appeared in front of Alex:

Pale and inhuman-like skin, bloodshot eyeballs that protruded violently as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, the corners of his mouth grinned behind his ears, and the bloodshot yellow teeth protruded, and the bridge of his nose completely collapsed, although he had a collapsed nose, but now only two holes were left for breathing, and the hand holding the short knife also appeared dark red scales under the blood, like a poisonous snake, and his neck had been twisted to a strange angle.

Hamm slowly turned around and spat out a sharp, barbed tongue at Alex, which went straight through his left shoulder.

Aretz hurriedly picked up the short spear and stabbed it at the tongue, there was a sound of metal colliding, and the iron spearhead was able to cut through the skin of the tongue, but fortunately the monster Hamm was in pain, and suddenly swallowed the tongue and a lump of flesh and blood of Aretz back into his stomach.

At this time, Alexi felt a whole sharp pain coming from his left shoulder, almost making him unsteady, too late to care about the others, Alez opened the wooden door behind him, and ran out like crazy, the monster did not chase out, only after running out of a distance, a sharp scream came from behind him, and it looked extremely terrifying in the dead silence.

"Why is it so quiet" The thought suddenly popped up in Alex's heart, but before he could think about it, a wave of paralysis and weakness came from his left shoulder, and he only had time to let out a final sigh: "Could it be that the monster's tongue is poisonous......"
