Chapter 39: Blood Sacrifice and Blood Food
Feeling the bump in his body, Sergey closed his eyes tightly.
Although the injury on his head looked quite serious, and blood was gushing out all the time, he deliberately adjusted his body before falling.
It is precisely because of this that he is still able to keep his sanity and sobriety for a long time.
In today's situation, if you want to enter the medical room, ordinary small injuries such as a cut on the arm or thigh are useless, and only a seriously injured person like him who is unconscious and must hurry up to receive medical treatment can enter the medical room.
Luckily, he got it right.
Unfortunately, the situation inside the infirmary seemed to be far worse than he had imagined......
After he was taken to the hospital room on a stretcher, no one cared about him except for someone who came and sprinkled some alcohol on his wound and took a bag of gauze.
Sporaly, he overheard some conversation coming from the side.
"What about this guy? Seems to be a half-breed ...... too? ”
“…… Look at it, the doctor is gone, look at his own ......"
"Does it make a difference if you put it here? After all, this side ......"
"It's okay, I didn't wake up from the pain when I poured him alcohol just now, it seems that the injury is quite deep, I guess I will have to wake up at least tomorrow, let's see when the time comes."
“…… It's okay, it doesn't affect ...... anyway."
………………………
Later, Sergei heard footsteps walking out of the door, and the room fell silent as the two men walked out and the door closed.
…… No, can't say quiet.
Just as Sergei racked his brain to think about what he meant by the other party's words that the doctor was gone, he suddenly smelled an extremely unpleasant rancid smell.
The stench was so strong and so bad...... He almost threw up what he had eaten for lunch.
In this moment, he suddenly understood why the two of them had only been in the room for a short time before hurrying out the door.
If it weren't for the fact that his willpower was still strong, he would have wanted to run out of the medical room right now, the lingering and extremely strong rancid stench was like a biochemical torture......
…… Where does this smell come from?
Subconsciously holding his breath, Sergei quietly opened his eyes.
The medical room was extremely quiet, except for the smell, there was no chewing sound as Yakov had said, but because the windows were nailed with wooden boards, although it was still daytime, the light in the medical room was extremely dim.
Half-squinting, Sergei had been on the bed for a while before he could barely get used to the light.
Like most medical rooms, each bed has a corresponding curtain compartment, and the bed he is lying on now is no exception, both sides are tightly covered by curtains, and there is only a small exit for one person to enter and exit on the side facing the head of the bed, which is clear at a glance.
Quietly sitting up from the bed, Sergei reached out and pressed the wound on his head, and after gasping suddenly, he felt that his whole body was much more energetic, and he crept to his feet.
It's just that before he could walk a few steps, he suddenly noticed that something was not quite right from under his feet.
"This thing ......"
Leaning over, Sergei frowned and looked at the layer of ...... "meat" that covered the ground?
…… That's all he can say.
I don't know why, there is a layer of dark red meat on the floor of the medical room, these meat pieces are extremely sticky and tough, firmly adsorbed to the floor, and it looks disgusting.
“…… No, the rancid smell is not coming from above......"
While muttering to himself, after looking up at the front of him, he simply slipped directly from the hem of the curtain to a bed next to him.
Then when he stood up with his nose covered and saw the scene in front of him, his face immediately changed slightly.
It's not like the clean bed on his side, the bed here is simply miserable, the white sheets are not only full of condensed dark red marks, but the flesh and blood adsorbed on the ground are scattered on the bed, looking extremely disgusting.
But...... What about the people in bed?
Following the direction of the scattered flesh and blood on the bed, forcibly holding back the affectionate fear in his heart, Sergei slowly raised his head.
…… Then he saw hell.
On the ceiling corresponding to this bed, countless sticky flesh and blood were laid there like spider webs, and in the center of the pool of flesh, a bloody human face stared at him blankly.
“!!!”
………………………………………………
"How many days are left on the trip?"
Putting the red wine glass back on the table, Bondarev asked without raising his head.
"If you drive at full speed, you can get there in about five days."
Bowing slightly, the first mate replied with a solemn face.
"Five days...... What's going on over there in the bilge? ”
Raising his head, Bondarev looked at the other side.
"Under the irrigation of flesh and blood, the dragon cocoon has been initially awakened, and the other party is slowly eroding the bilge."
Obviously, he has been familiar with this kind of thing for a long time, and he has spoken with a straight face.
"According to preliminary estimates, if we want to achieve the results expected by His Highness, we will have to throw more flesh and blood on the other side."
“………”
After receiving the answer, Bondarev stopped talking, but unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something.
It wasn't until half an hour later that he raised his head.
"According to you, the scheduled blood food on the ship is not enough to achieve the goal?"
"It's not enough, after all, those blood foods are ordinary people, far from the amount of sacrifices, we still need more blood food."
The first mate shook his head.
"Do you need to notify the clan and airlift a new batch of blood food to fill the shortfall? There are still five days left, and we can catch it. ”
"There's no need."
Standing up from his chair, Bondarev spoke indifferently.
"Since ordinary people can't satisfy the appetite of that thing, then it's good to fill in the half-bloods, secrets, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better."
"Your Highness means ......"
Rarely, the first mate hesitated.
"That's what you understand, on the way forward, there will always be people who sacrifice for this, and the difference is just sooner or later."
Turning his head to look at the first mate beside him, Bondarev chuckled lightly.
"Rest assured, we will remember them in the future."
“…… Obey your orders. ”
After a long silence, the first mate lowered his head.
