Father Anthony and Sister Marlene snuggled together with some weakness, gasping violently.

There are more and more crazy citizens in the city, and even among the clergy, there are many terrifying mutations.

A red order has been issued from above to dispose of all the sick before the disease has fully spread.

Tonight, the church gave a massacre order. Advance notice for all normal people to hide at home and dispose of all the blood addicts who ran to the streets.

The streets were filled with a pungent smell of burning, and the slain blood addicts were piled up like firewood, poured with oil, and began to burn.

All believed that the flame purified all impurities.

Anthony and Marlene are old partners and classmates. They entered the seminary of the Church of the Holy Blood together at the age of sixteen, and later graduated together and entered the Church.

Anthony became the Divine Punisher and Marlene became the Exorcist Nun.

The two of them work in the same church, and the familiarity of the two people for more than 20 years has given them a super high level of tacit understanding.

Over the years, the two have experienced many crises and battles together, but they have never been as powerless and desperate as they are now.

Those who went crazy because of blood addiction were the low-level people who couldn't afford blood wine at first, and those crazy people were quickly dealt with after being discovered by the Holy Blood Church.

But I don't know what's going on, not only the people at the bottom are starting to go crazy, but also the middle class who can satisfy their blood addictions.

The disease then spread rapidly throughout the city, as if it could be spread through the eyes and air.

Faced with this situation, even the Holy Blood Church has no good countermeasures, and no one can understand the reason for this.

The clergy could only use this method of killing, burning, hoping to isolate the virus.

Taking a breath, Father Anthony raised the short knife in his hand and wiped the blood that had coagulated on it with his shawl.

In the past two days, he has killed dozens of patients, and his hand holding the knife at first was still a little shaky, but now it is numb.

Sister Marlene on the side also shook the blood stains on her double knives, and the two cooperated with each other, killing more than 100 people in one day, and cleaning up all the sick people in this neighborhood.

Mountains of corpses are now piled together, and while the bright fire illuminates the night, it also emits a foul smell.

Tonight, such piles of corpses, such fires, can be seen everywhere in the streets of the city.

All the clergy were covered in blood, and indifferently dragged the corpses away, leaving a frightening blood stain on the ground.

"We're doing that, aren't we?" Sister Marlene asked in a hoarse voice under the metal beak mask.

Father Anthony, who was also wearing a metal beak mask, said in a confused voice: "I don't know, we can only obey the will of the goddess and deal with all these filthy people." ”

"Are you sure we're following the will of the Goddess?" Sister Marlene objected.

Father Anthony was silent for a moment, then picked up the short knife and said, "It doesn't matter anymore. Importantly, it is the backbone of our faith today. ”

Sister Marlene stopped talking, and the two men walked side by side, disappearing into the darkness of the night with the smoke.

............

Sitting on the ground, Suge gasped with difficulty.

Beside him were two frantic villagers, who had been completely dealt with by this time, and blood was sprayed all over the ground.

Solving two villagers at the same time is already the limit of Suge's physical strength today.

He doesn't know any occult spells, and now he can only rely on his weak body to fight.

Holding the already gaped firewood knife in both hands, he struggled to stand up, and Su Ge felt his whole body tremble violently.

The two men who had just died were still cursing themselves.

Now the ulcers on his arm are getting worse and worse, and it has spread to Suge's wrist.

At the same time, the blood addiction in my heart is becoming more and more terrifying and vigorous.

Coupled with the exhaustion of the body, Su Ge has gradually lost control of his body.

"I won't...... Defeated by something like this!" Suge almost stood up from the ground with a roar, stumbling away from the bodies of the two.

Going on, he felt like he was going to lie on the ground at any moment, licking the warm blood of the two men.

The firelight in front of him was even more triumphant, and piercing screams and screams kept coming.

But at this time, Su Ge's body and spirit were on the verge of collapse because of the simultaneous curse of those four people.

"If I still have the Soul Suppression Night Bell......" Su Ge couldn't help but think at this time.

However, in the next second, there was firmness and determination in his eyes: "There is no if." ”

A low roar was heard in the distance.

It seemed that someone smelled the pungent smell of blood, and five young men with the same form as the old man pounced on this side like a pack of mad dogs, and the eyes that radiated red light were like a pack of hungry wolves seeing delicious lambs.

Su Ge stumbled and dodged with his tired body, and just ran through a muddy street, and when he was about to run into the alley on the side, Su Ge staggered and sat on the ground.

In a low roar, two vicious dogs with bloody bodies gradually ran out of the alley.

The mouths of the two vicious dogs exuded a fishy smell, and the moment they came out of the darkness, they frantically pounced on Su Ge.

At this time, Su Ge was completely confused, and the speed of the two vicious dogs was too fast, so he didn't react this time.

Seeing that the hideous mouth full of fangs was about to bite his neck, his body was unable to control because of the thirst for blood.

"Is that how you died?" In the face of death, Su Ge did not panic as he imagined, but was very calm, and seemed to accept all this calmly.

Bang!

A heavy gunshot rang out, and the powerful shotgun sent both dogs flying straight out.

Su Ge turned his head at the sound of the voice, and first saw the little girl named Al running over quickly and asked, "Uncle, are you alright?"

Suge nodded and asked, "How did you get here?"

"It was this uncle who saved me. Al said, turning sideways.

Under Suge's gaze, a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing a black leather coat and a canvas trench coat and a jazz hat, one holding a shotgun and a machete in his hand was looking down at him.

"Young man, are you alright?" the middle-aged man asked.

Su Ge shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and stood up with difficulty and said, "Thank you for coming to the rescue." ”

The middle-aged man said casually: "It's just passing by, let's go!"

As he spoke, he bent down to help Suge up, and the three of them quickly left along the edge of the village.

The three of them did not leave the village too far, but stopped to rest in an abandoned factory on the east side of the village.

The middle-aged man put Su Ge down first, and then skillfully collected some dry firewood around and set it together to light a bonfire.

He then untied his backpack and took out a buckskin blanket from it for Al to lie down.

In a gentle reassurance, the tired Al soon fell asleep.

"My name is Suge, thank you again for your help. Su Ge said in a sincere tone.

The middle-aged man looked at Su Ge's appearance and asked, "At this time, with a seriously injured body, you run into the village alone, and I don't know whether to call you brave or stupid." ”

Suge looked down at his festering and terrifying right hand, shook his head, and said, "It's not an injury. ”

The middle-aged man puts a piece of wood in the fire to make the campfire burn more vigorously.

"You don't want to live anymore?" the middle-aged man asked.

Su Ge was a little surprised: "Why do you say this?"

"In this fucking world, no one can stay out of it, and I've seen a lot of people who can't afford to commit suicide because their families are crazy. I see you like that. The middle-aged man took out a dry and hard black loaf from his bag.

After thinking about it, he broke off a small piece and handed it to Suge.

"Thank you. Suge took the black bread and stuffed it directly into his mouth, ignoring the sour taste of the lees on it, and swallowed it in a few bites.

The middle-aged man did not continue to distribute it to Su Ge: "In this world, food is very scarce, I have to fill it first, I will not care about others, I hope you don't care." ”

Su Ge nodded: "I understand, thinking for yourself is the essence of human beings. The kind of brainless person who thinks for others is not a normal person. ”

The middle-aged man laughed after hearing this: "I like your theory, my name is Lawrence." ”

Su Ge took off his sticky clothes that had become sticky due to blood clotting, and asked curiously, "Look at your appearance, you are not an ordinary resident. Are you a mystic? or a clergyman?"

Lawrence shook his head: "I'm just a passing refugee. ”

"Refugees?" Suge was surprised.

"How not?" Lawrence frowned.

Suge looked at his shiny machete and precision shotgun and said, "This equipment is a little too good for a refugee. ”

Lawrence laughed: "Since you are preparing to escape, you must naturally be completely prepared, otherwise you may be killed as soon as you get on the road, let alone flee." ”

Su Ge thought for a moment, and then said, "That's right, otherwise I would have died just now." ”

Lawrence looked at the ulcer on Suge's right hand and said, "Your injury is very serious, if you continue to cause the wound to become infected, this arm of yours will be cut off, and it will even threaten your life." ”

Su Ge pinched his right hand, pinched it slightly, and bursts of needle-like pain kept coming, as if countless steel needles had been pierced into the pores.

"I'm used to it. Su Ge looked as usual, sat up slightly, picked up the straw on the ground and wiped the blood on his body.

"It's solidified, and it can't be wiped clean without water. Lawrence said.

Suge fell silent, as if lost in thought.

"I'm going to Ocean City to seek refuge in the Church, are you going to go?" Lawrence invited.

Su Ge smiled and asked, "Can you trust me?"

"Tong Yan is not deceitful, the little girl said that you saved her and helped her find her parents, I feel that you are a normal person. Lawrence said bluntly.

Suge looked at Al with a soft smile, then shook his head and said, "Thank you for the invitation, but I can't leave yet." ”

"Why?" Lawrence wondered.

Suge turned his head to look in the direction of the village: "There should be normal people there who need help, and those crazy patients must be controlled. ”

"Are you going to take this woodcutter and kill all the madmen who are not afraid of death?" Lawrence asked, wide-eyed.

Suge didn't hide it and nodded.

"You're crazy, not to mention if you're capable of it. This kind of thing is a church thing, don't you have nothing to do?" Lawrence felt incomprehensible.

Su Ge said calmly, "This is my decision, I can't abandon them." ”

"It's only a two-hour walk from Ocean City, and when you get there, tell the church about it and they'll take care of it. ”

Su Ge shook his head stubbornly: "There are some things that are better done by yourself." ”

As he spoke, Suge slowly stood up and moved his stiff limbs.

"It's insane. Returning to the village in your state is a dead end. Even if you have experienced something sad, your life is your own. Only by cherishing one's own life can one be worthy of those deceased relatives. Lawrence said very seriously.

Su Ge smiled: "You are right, if mine had gone with you before, but now it is different. ”

Lawrence was silent for a long time, and asked in a puzzled tone: "You're not afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, more than anyone else. Suge replied earnestly.

"And you're going?"

"There are self-decisions that allow you to cross the fear of death. Suge said.

"You're crazy!" Lawrence said for the third time that Suge had gone mad.

Su Ge didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "Maybe, but this feeling is pretty good." ”

"Reason is the shackle of the spirit, and madness is the prerequisite for freedom, isn't it?"

Listening to Suge's completely unusual theory, Lawrence looked at Suge's appearance and became a little cautious.

"I can tell you first, don't expect me to stay and help you, I'm not the kind of good old man, I will only help others as much as I can. ”

Suge nodded: "Well, I know, because I used to be the same as you." ”

In the following time, the two of them chatted without saying a word.

It was only then that Suge learned that Lawrence was a watchmaker and blacksmith who had forged some weapons for self-defense over the years.

After this incident, he immediately took out his weapon and packed it up before leaving.

"The whole town on my side has completely fallen, and I am terrified to death when I heard that the clergy sent by the church have been infected, so I hurried out to flee to Ocean City. Lawrence said casually.

Su Ge sighed in his heart: "The end has indeed come. ”

At this moment, the bell that came to Lawrence's side suddenly rang.

"Oh no, they're chasing after you!?" Lawrence looked startled, and hurriedly sat up, packing up his things in less than a minute, and waking Al up behind him.

At this moment, through the dilapidated windows, you can see that all sides have been illuminated by the light of torches.

"Damn! They've got this place all around. Lawrence was pale and frightened.

At this time, Suge reached out and picked up the old firewood knife, walked to the outside of the factory, and said, "I'll go and lure them away, you take Al and hurry away." ”

Lawrence didn't have any reason or excuse at this time, and nodded: "Okay!"

Suge grinned, "Thank you, let me prove my worth." ”
