Xia Yanzhen returned to his residence, took out the Eternal Blood Armor, and gave it to the Blood-Armored Knights.

Yin Fu didn't leave with those people.

"Aren't you going?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"I only care about valuable prey, or men who are strong enough." Yin Fu said with a smile.

To slaughter those infected who can't and can't resist, Yin Fu has no interest.

Now that the situation is stable, she can be a little willful and not get involved in this kind of thing.

On the one hand, she is Horen's person, and now she is dominated by Horen to the outside world.

There will be no cardinal who will trouble Yin Fu for such a trivial matter.

On the other hand, can it be regarded as stained with Xia Yan's true light?

"You're not interested in that either?" Yin Fu asked.

Xia Yanzhen shook his head, he naturally couldn't like this kind of slaughter.

If he is given enough power, Xia Yanzhen will also try to put those people in and see if he can be cured.

It's a pity that he only has a high status and does not have any real power.

Forcibly letting people in will only cause more trouble.

Yin Fu mentioned interest, but Xia Yan really looked at himself, what was he interested in.

The hateful things are clear, like what Horen sent them to do.

As for those who like it, those who are interested......

Xia Yanzhen thought about it carefully, he needed to become stronger, and he had enough strength to be able to support him to do something he wanted to do.

At the beginning, Xia Yanzhen had the incorruptible body of King Kong in Wang Dong's mouth, but it had come to an end.

Unless he dies a big death himself, it is possible to break through between life and death.

At that time, in the face of the great power of modern hot weapons, Xia Yanzhen definitely had to retreat.

His plan is to take advantage of the policy tail after the college entrance examination, read a national defense student and then go to join the army, and become stronger in another way.

Later, the dream of the gods begins.

Xia Yanzhen's path to becoming stronger became clear and transparent again, and this plan was temporarily put on hold.

But getting stronger definitely doesn't stop.

It's not just for what he wants to do in the future, Xia Yanzhen himself is also enjoying the feeling of becoming stronger.

He doesn't really have a particular liking or dislike for the fight itself - and even because of the bleeding (of the enemy), the scales don't like to tilt a little bit.

Fighting is only a means to become stronger, breathing, all kinds of study, and training are also means to become stronger.

What Xia Yanzhen really likes is "being a little stronger every day than yesterday".

Combing through his inner thoughts, Xia Yanzhen did not speak.

Yin Fu also followed quietly.

Just like the quiet inner city.

In addition to blocking the Kuroshio, the light curtain also has a function, which is to isolate sound.

The cries that could have been heard are no longer heard in the Holy City.

The people inside don't know what's going on outside.

Only a few people who lived near the gates could see the Bloodsuit Knight leading the Knight and a group of men in black away.

They went out through the small door next to the gate, and when they closed it, they separated the inside and the outside.

It took a long time to come back with a body full of blood.

Not all of them returned, and some were trapped outside the city and never returned.

Smoke and firelight could be seen rising from outside the city, disappearing as night fell.

As night fell, the atmosphere in the outer city became even more tense.

Many people can't sleep, and the slightest sound of the wind and grass can wake them up with candles.

It's like being in a zoo, looking at those beasts through transparent glass.

Even though it knew that there would be no danger, it was still startled when the beast suddenly pounced and made a move.

The first night of the Kuroshio Tide was spent in fear by a group of people.

It wasn't until the first light of dawn came, and day replaced night, that the panic gradually subsided—more than at night.

Xia Yanzhen stood on top of the city wall, took off the black cloth and looked into the distance, his eyes narrowed.

With the passage of time and the sorties of the knights, things did not get better.

It gets worse and worse.

With Xia Yanzhen's eyesight, at the end of his line of sight, there was still a black tide composed of rats.

The crimson eyes, the grumpy rats are still devouring each other.

The Holy City has been completely reduced to a sea of rats in all directions.

There is no end in sight.

Wave after wave of "wild waves" bombarded the holy city.

A true island.

The height of the black "wave" even exceeded the high walls of the Holy City, and the shadows struck, bombarded the light curtain, and scattered in all directions.

More than ten seconds later, the rat swarm struck again.

The rats no longer looked like they were individuals, but as a whole.

Wave after wave of crazy pounding.

In addition, the rats came out of the ground, and a large number of burrows caused the ground to collapse.

Outside of the Holy City, a large part of the ground was sunken, and the height was nearly ten meters lower than before.

If a person goes down, it will no longer be the "down-to-earth" of the day before, and if the mice are not stacked, they will only crawl on the side of their feet.

Instead, it will be swallowed directly by a sea of rats.

Not only that, Xia Yanzhen also saw some dead bodies floating in the rat colony, which at first glance was not much, but if they really gathered, it would definitely far exceed the number of dead bodies they encountered near the castle that day.

Some of these dead bodies were infected people who were driven away yesterday.

In one day, it has gone from an infected person to a dead body.

The Black Death outbreak was staggeringly fast, several times faster than normal.

Xia Yanzhen looked at the sky, just as a wave of "waves" slapped in, replacing the original sunlight and casting a shadow on his face.

Bombarded on the light curtain, the black wave shattered, and a large number of mouse corpses fell.

It's easy to tell if these rats are dead or not, and when the red in their eyes disappears, it means that the rats are dead.

The black waves broke away, and the sun reoccupied the highlands.

However, before anyone could take a good breath, the depressing wave of rats hit again.

The tide rises and falls.

It seems to be endless, just like human breathing, just the bombardment of the rat wave, making people depressed and unable to breathe.

On the city walls, there are no ordinary militias anymore.

Only the Red Knights can face such a desperate scene.

But even the Red Knights, some of them couldn't control the desperate expression on their faces in the face of such a rat tide.

The believers in the outer city were even more filled with fear.

The only thing that can be done is to pray, to pray that the Holy Spirit will come down and save them.

The current scene is countless times more terrifying than the scene of zombies besieging the White House in Resident Evil.

Not many people can be optimistic in such an environment.

Even Xia Yanzhen frowned.

The Wings of Light in the Book of Divine Purification have not yet reached their limits, so they have not entered the cooldown.

Can fly.

However, the rat sea had already formed, and he had no way of knowing for sure that he could fly out before the Wings of Light ran out of power.

When the time comes, you will need to put on the face of the fire robbery.

Thinking that there were roasted rats all around, Xia Yanzhen felt goosebumps all over his body, even if he was wearing a prisoner of darkness, it was impossible to completely block the blood in the rat tide.

"I hope the Holy City will last a little longer."

Xia Yanzhen shook his head and went down the city wall.

He felt very uncomfortable, not that he thought he would die in such a rat tide.

It's just that it's too dirty.

But in the eyes of others, it is the rising star of the Church, and the powerful sanctified priest is helpless in the face of such a scene.

The atmosphere of panic spread further.

If it weren't for the patrols of the Red Knights and even the Dark Crows on the outer city, some chaos might have erupted.

In this case, some people also choose to commit suicide directly.

There is no doctrine in the Eternal Church that says that suicide cannot ascend to a place like heaven.

Someone in the outer city committed suicide, someone prayed, someone shouted and went crazy and was suppressed by the knights.

The inner city is oppressive, as if the air is condensed.

It's only slightly better here in the cathedral, where you can see the clergy constantly moving around.

Looks like he's busy.

In fact, they are just headless flies, scurrying around.

The Knights, the burial mechanism, and the curtain of light that keeps the Holy City still standing, are ultimately in the hands of the Cardinals.

Ordinary bishops, as well as the archbishops who happen to be in the Holy City, even if they want to do things, they can't do much.

At this time, they just make sure that they don't mess up.

Not long after Xia Yanzhen returned to the inner city, he was called to Huo Lun's side.

Compared with yesterday's suddenness, today's Huo Lun's face was serious.

And there were no other more people in the room, only Huo Lun and Xia Yanzhen.

"We're going to make the area of the Light smaller." Huo Lun looked at Xia Yanzhen and said in a deep voice.

"Can't hold it?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"The range is too large, and every impact of the Black Dead Rats swarm consumes the power of the Holy Light." Hollen said.

Xia Yanzhen didn't speak, waiting for Huo Lun's next words.

You don't need to look for him for such a thing as adjusting the range of the Holy Light, right?

"The scope will probably be adjusted to the inner city first." "I need you to protect His Majesty the Pope." ”

The front is just "small talk", and the back is the point.

"Huh?"

"His Majesty the Pope is doing something of great importance, which will take two more days to complete, and if it is successful, all the crises will be resolved." Hollen said.

Xia Yanzhen nodded.

Huo Lun didn't doubt it, and took Xia Yanzhen through the cathedral.

Going deep into the ground and opening a heavy stone door with a cross, Xia Yanzhen saw the Pope in the ornate chair, as well as the Dimon family on the three crosses.

The last knight in blood armor, Lancelot no longer hidden, stood by the Pope's side: "Is this the sanctified priest?" ”

"That's right, it's up to the two of you to protect the Pope's crown now." Hollen said.

"After I die, His Majesty the Pope will not be injured in the slightest."

Lancelot gave a knightly salute.

"Will this place be breached?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

This place should be the center of the church, and if there are "enemies" here, the church will be finished.

"No, but a little mouse has come in." Lancelot gestured around the corner.

Only then did Xia Yanzhen notice that the darkness was a bunch of dead rats.

"Looks like there's a loophole in the Light." Xia Yanzhen said.

Hollen nodded.

The protection of the Light is all-encompassing, including underground. Otherwise, the Holy City would have been hollowed out and collapsed into ruins.

These rats didn't know they were coming in.

It is already an established fact that it means danger, and it is necessary for the sanctified priest to protect the Pope at this critical moment.

At this time, it is a race for time.

After bringing Xia Yanzhen here, Huo Lun left in a hurry, and the heavy stone door closed.

Lancelot nodded slightly towards Xia Yanzhen.

He stood silent, holding his sword.

There was silence in the room.

There was no other place to sit in the room, and Xia Yanzhen didn't care, sitting on the ground, closing his eyes and resting.

After a few moments, his black-eyed eyes suddenly opened.

"Winter, Winter, Winter ......"

In the room, there are a total of seven different heartbeats!
