"Charles, hold on!"

In the cabin, the captain's voice was hoarse. Along with him, there was a "click" sound when the blood dripped to the ground.

Late at night, the captain struggled to support Charles, and with the other hand stumbled against the wall. Bean-sized blood poured out of Charles's wound as if the floodgates had opened, and the right hand that had been holding the revolver had disappeared at this time, and it was empty, leaving only a white hand bone.

"Damn it!" Charles's cold face was full of pain. He clutched his wound desperately, and the intense pain began to eat away at his nerves.

It's useless, the wound still can't be stopped. The light blood beads like water droplets were penetrating his palms, and they were bubbling outward, falling to the ground like pearls.

"Don't move." The captain tore the blue-gray coat from his body and tore a long ribbon from his robe. He gently used the dagger to cut open the blood-clinging clothing from Charles's wound, and forcefully fastened the ribbon to Charles's shoulder blades.

"It's useless, Bersa." Charles said weakly.

The wound was highly toxic, the toxin was slowly eating away at his nervous system, and he was hopeless.

"Shut up!" Persa's tone was unusually tough. At this moment, he was like the captain who had just cowered in the corner and shivered.

"Listen to me, Bersa......" Charles's voice grew weaker and weaker, and he was already hallucinating.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll talk about it later." Persa's eyes were red. He knew what Charles wanted to say, but because he knew, the more he didn't want this to happen.

Fifteen years on, it's been this kind of thing again, again and again, every time. He'd been through it once, and he didn't want this time to be the same as the last time.

"No, Bersa, if I don't say it, maybe I won't have a chance in the future." He looked at Bosa earnestly and whispered, "Come back, Bersa...... We need you. ”

Charles's voice was soft, and at this moment he was like a blank piece of paper fluttering in the breeze, as if he would be swept away as long as the wind blew slightly.

"Why don't you come back, haven't I been there all the time?" Perza lowered his forehead and laughed strongly.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about......" Charles shook his head weakly, muttering in frustration, "I said...... It's not this ......."

Suddenly, he seemed to fall silent, and then, after a long time, he spoke blankly, "They all say I've changed, Bossa, right?"

He suddenly looked up at smallpox, and his eyes gradually became misty, as if he was exclaiming, "It's becoming more and more like you before." ”

He brushed away Persa's hand and leaned haggard against the wall, gathering all his sharpness at once, as if this was his truest appearance.

"People change." Still keeping his head down, Persa whispered, "Like a child, one day he has to learn to grow up, one day he has to learn to go through despair." ”

"But you shouldn't be getting more and more cowardly." A look of distress appeared on Charles's face, and he said excitedly, "What we need is a leader, Persa, someone who can really lead us out of this difficult situation, you can do it before, but not now...... You've become cowardly, Bersa, so I've got to be strong. Others can be afraid of these pressures, but I can't. Someone has to stand up and help you carry this burden first, and if they can't bear it, then I have to carry it. No one is born strong, and no one is born cowardly. It's just ......," he sighed, and then spoke, "I'm tired, Bersa, I'm really tired." No matter how hard I try, I'm never you. ”

At last he looked up at Bertha earnestly, and said to him almost in a pleading tone, "Come back, Bersa, you can do it, if it were you." ”

"No, no, Charles......" Bertha held his head in a daze, and his body was shaking.

"I killed them...... I killed them...... I can't...... I really can't do it! The captain cried out, almost crying, "Elling is dead, and so is Hilette, and father...... They all died, all because of me...... They died because of me...... I can't...... I really can't do it. As soon as I hold the gun, their faces will appear in front of my eyes. ”

"We don't blame you, Bersa." Charles said with a slight reddish reassurance. He saw guilt in Persa's eyes, a self-reproach for his inability to do anything in the face of near-despair.

He looked at Persa silently, and with a trembling palm, he tore open his torn blouse, revealing a thick, hideous scar.

The scar stretched across his entire chest, from his neck to the tail of his abdomen, as if someone had slashed him head-on, the fatal wound almost splitting his body in half.

And that's what he left behind in the war fifteen years ago, and even fifteen years later, it still looks hideous.

"None of us can stop that disaster, neither you nor me, we don't have to blame ourselves too much." Charles sighed and said, "Our mission is not over yet, everything is still going on." My father left the mission to you because he believed that you had the ability to accomplish it...... We can't stop, something is waking up from the darkness. That woman is the harbinger, and they are chasing us. Once we stop, everything Father and they have done will be in vain. ”

"What...... 'something'?" Persa's face changed suddenly, he grabbed Charles's hand excitedly, and asked, "What are you and your father hiding from me?" Why are monsters chasing us? What's the matter with that 'woman'?"

Pertha grabbed him with an angry face. He always felt like he had seen the woman somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was. It's like you're dealing with someone you know and feel familiar and very strange.

"There's something you shouldn't know right now, wait, Bersa, someone will tell you......" Charles whispered as he struggled to prop himself up, leaning against the wall.

But before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden faint grinding sound outside.

"Rustle, rustle!"

Like a metal ball rolling through the iron sheet, it gently made a slight grinding sound, getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the metal door.

"Shh Perza reflexively put his index finger to his lips and motioned for Charles to be quiet.

"Knock knock!" There was a heavy knock on the door. It was like someone knocking on the door from outside.

But Charles and the captain didn't think there was a knock on the door outside, because there was a ...... It's not human at all!

He was able to get four bullets and still didn't die, and he could bite off Charles's arm in the next bite of Charles's firepower.

This thing is weird! The captain thought to himself.

"Knock knock!" The rapid knocking began to become orderly, like a patient elder, waiting for the children in the house to open the door for him.

But there are no cute children in it, only two rugged-looking middle-aged uncles in it. Uncles only like sexy girls on the dance floor with their waists twisting, and they will never like this kind of monster with a cracked mouth to the root of the ear

"Giggles!"

The thing stood outside for a while, probably thinking that there was no target for it here, so it dragged its body "rustling" away and crawled to the next barn.

After a long time, the voices outside began to quiet down. The captain let go of his grip on Charles and gently leaned him against the cold wall.

Pertha was glad that the thing's sense of smell was not very keen, otherwise it would have followed Charles's blood.

"Explain anything to me after this is over, remember, don't give me anything like that last word, I don't want to hear it. If you dare to die here, I'll throw you out of the boat and feed the fish!" Suddenly, Bosa slammed up to Charles, stared at him coldly, and warned.

Charles was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, and then his eyes widened and he hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey, you can also airlift the body back to the UK for me, I bought insurance at AXA." (Note: AXA's full name is 'AXA France', which is the world's largest insurance group)

"Humph!"

The captain snorted coldly, ignored him, and lowered his head to tear a thicker strap from his clothes, then folded the two ends in half, folded them into a square, and finally handed it to Charles, and said in a deep voice, "Bite it." ”

"What?" Charles didn't hear clearly, and asked suspiciously.

"Bite it." Bertha said impatiently, and directly stuffed the cloth into Charles's mouth, choking Charles's tears directly out.

"Don't make a sound!" Pertha lowered her voice to warn. Reaching out and pulling out a bottle of fresh drinking water from the storage compartment in the cabin, he slowly hung the bottle over Charles's wound, and then told Charles, "Bear with me." ”

"Click!" The dagger slashed across the bottle, and the water bottle burst, and icy water flowed out of it.

Icy fresh water fell from the sky and sprinkled on Charles's wounds. When the pure fresh water touched the wound, the extremely cold temperature instantly condensed them into ice slag, and finally turned into a layer of ice chips, all covering the surface of Charles's wound.

"Ahh Charles was so hurt that his teeth were clenched, and his mouth was full of "gurgling" teeth. But because Bertha had already told him just now, he had to endure it even if it hurt him.

"Don't scream, that thing will be attracted." Perza said with a serious face, "There is 'red poison' left on your wound, which is a rare animal toxin that is unique to a remote tribe in Africa. It keeps your blood from clotting. ”

"Is it serious?" Charles said with some weakness.

The captain stared at him for a long time, then finally sighed, nodded, and said, "Seriously." ”

"This thing functions a bit like anticoagulin. However, anticoagulant is a medical drug, which is used to separate plasma, platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells in the blood, and is mostly used for medical blood preservation. But 'Red Poison' is not. The captain's tone changed, and he continued, "Red poison is an animal toxin. When it enters your body, it slowly eats away at your nervous system, stimulating the red and white blood cells in your blood, making them extremely active. If anticoagulant is to separate all the red and white blood cells in your blood, then 'red poisoning' is to speed up the flow of blood in your body, and when your blood is ready to clot on the wound, new blood will continue to pour out of your blood vessels. Because the speed of solidification is not as fast as the speed of outflow, the ......"

The captain paused at the end, and with some difficulty, sighed, and said, "You are like a burst pipe, and the other end of the pipe is pumping blood to this side with increasing power, and you, as the owner of the pipe, have no power to stop it. In other words......

"You're the burst hose now, and it won't be long before you're a dried corpse." The captain said creepyly.

"That's really...... Serious enough. Charles smiled weakly.

"Don't be discouraged, there will be a way." The captain squeezed his shoulder and comforted.

"Leave it to fate."
