Chapter 422 It’s nothing serious
Lin Qi led four soldiers straight from the door to the dungeon entrance. The soldiers who didn’t know why were full of anger, but Lin Qi was full of worry.
When the soldiers received a signal to go to the fire scene to support, Miss Diana reminded him that the fortress was empty after the soldiers left, and it was easy for others to take advantage of it.
Moreover, there are patrolling soldiers outside, and there are people who came here from the city center to report the disaster. This thing itself is a bit strange. The two most critical elements at this time, Dr. Swain and the infected are concentrated in the fortress. Once someone steals Home is over.
So the four decided to split into two groups. Lynch led the team to the fire scene to check the situation, while the two ladies and Dr. Swain set up an ambush for the enemies who might come to steal the house. As long as they could stay The opponent's fresh blood is waiting for you to follow the blood trail to find the opponent's location.
As a result, as soon as Lynch led the team back, they encountered an unexpected surprise, but he did not expect that the opponent would be so vicious, and a direct attack would be a fatal attack.
Bless your neighbors, please don't let anything happen to you two.
He didn’t feel it when he made the arrangements before. Only then did he realize how worried he was about the safety of the two ladies. The key was that if it was a real fight with swords and guns, he wouldn’t be that worried, but the plague was full of worries. In addition to the weirdness and mystery, he didn't even dare to think about how he would face it if something really happened to someone.
While harassing his neighbors, he strode towards the entrance of the dungeon. However, as soon as he reached the entrance, a bleeding figure rushed up from the stairs.
Wounded beasts are the most dangerous, let alone encountering them on a narrow road.
Both sides paused at the same time, and then the cloaked ghoul let out a deep roar, swung out his injured left arm at high speed, and pinched Lynch's towering dragon with his sharp claws.
My mind hadn't reacted yet, but Lynch had seen the two corpses at the door, and his body reacted subconsciously. He raised his cane in front of him, and then there was a crisp sound.
The cane blocked the throat-sealing claw in time. Lynch pretended that he was deliberately pretending to be weak and staggered back two steps, just out of the entrance of the dungeon. The ghoul immediately rushed out, turning around and leaving a resentful roar, and quickly Disappeared into the night.
Damn, it’s so dangerous. It seems that I still need to train my combat awareness, otherwise I won’t be so lucky next time.
Lin Qi touched his neck, where he almost said goodbye, and broke into a cold sweat.
The sound of hurried footsteps soon came down the stairs. The three ladies had already run up after hearing the movement outside. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Qi on top.
"How's it going?" Lin Qi looked the two of them up and down, made sure they were not injured, and finally felt at ease. Then he quickly told the situation in the square, "Everything is going well here, too. Did you get the blood?”
“I got it, it went smoothly, but...”
Miss Diana glanced in the direction of Dr. Swain, and then Lynch noticed that the female doctor looked sad and worried.
"No need to wink, I have no intention of hiding it."
Doctor Swain sighed, and first arranged for the returning soldiers to resume security guards in the military camp, while he took the four The man directly stood guard at the door of the dungeon, waiting for more people to return, and then said quietly:
"I saw it, that was my father."
Huh?
The farmer of Swain Farm, the old Swain who was sad about the death of his beloved daughter and led to the creation of this strange ring is the culprit?
It was so unexpected that Lin Qi was stunned for a long time, but when he came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, it turned out to be surprisingly reasonable.
I am afraid this is the case in real history.
The Lord of Jackson has a good relationship with the Swain family, so it is not impossible for him to be induced by Swain.
Dr. Swain was his daughter, and it was normal for him to inadvertently reveal the details of the death propagation ritual to Swain Sr.
As a priest in the tribe, Old Sven must be very familiar with various rituals, so it is not surprising that he was able to carry out this ceremony smoothly. It is completely self-consistent, and in the end Old Sven planned all this through the city lord.
In the timeline without his own, several key events were not discovered, causing the plague to eventually completely get out of control and spread throughout the city. Everyone, including the city lord, may have been infected.
The staunch Dr. Swain should not have been infected, but at her request, the entire city was massacred regardless of whether they were sick or not, and it was her father who caused all this. The doctor felt guilty. , so using his own life to bury more than 8,000 people in the city can be regarded as taking on the sin for his father.
In the end, in addition to the ghouls who purified the city, Old Sven, the instigator, survived.
I don’t know what he was thinking when he finally held his daughter’s body, but no matter what, the feeling was sincere, otherwise it would not have resulted in the birth of the strange object with him and Dr. Swain as the main bodies.
Looking at the gloomy female doctor in front of him, Lin Qi felt a little more sympathetic.
In this memory, it was actually okay, but in real history, when she tried her best to stop but was still unable to control the spread of the plague, and tried her best to trace it, but finally found out that the real murderer was her father, how desperate she would feel.
No wonder she ended all suffering with death.
“You don’t have to look at me like this, I can persist.” Dr. Swain smiled, “As a daughter, in order to correct the mistakes he made, I have an even greater obligation to handle everything well and control this situation. Plague. So don’t worry about me, everything will be carried out as agreed before. I will continue to prepare the medicine, and when the medicine comes out tomorrow, I will follow his blood to find him. "
What a shame. A ghoul with a personality.
Lynch felt that because of her, his impression of ghouls had improved a lot.
I was about to say something relieved, but when I turned my head, I found Officer Natalie staring at him with a strange look. Lynch frowned: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"< br>
Officer Natalie touched her neck.
Lin Qi was stunned, reached out and touched it, and found a little blood on his hands. Then he discovered a few shallow blood marks on his neck.
"Oh, it's okay. We ran into old Sven when he was escaping. We had a confrontation and he almost cut his throat, but I blocked it. This should be because he was rubbed by his claws at that time. For a moment, it’s nothing serious. I didn’t feel it even if you didn’t tell me, but the ghoul’s claws are still...”
As he spoke, Lin Qi suddenly came to his senses and his face turned livid.
Not only him, but everyone present looked extremely strange.
Nothing serious?
Most of the more and more infected people inside were fine at first.
"It should be fine." Miss Diana said with a pale face and trembling lips, "You were scratched by Old Swain. Old Swain is not an infected person, he is just a normal ghoul, just like Dr. Swain. , He is definitely not contagious and will not infect you."
However, her eyes became red as she spoke.
"Oh, if he is the culprit, he must have been in frequent contact with sources of infection." Lynch pressed his forehead and sighed deeply, "No one can guarantee that he is not infected."
Officer Natalie also said: "But there is no guarantee that he will be brought. After all, he is not an infected person."
Lin Qi smiled bitterly, rubbed his neck and fell silent. For a while, the door of the dungeon fell into dead silence, and there was only the inside of the dungeon. The roar of the infected could be heard faintly.
