Chapter 444 The Fifth Day
When the clock struck midnight, everything returned to normal.
As if nothing happened.
Time passed by, but the expected outbreak of the plague never came.
Was it successful? The Evil God's container failed to replenish itself, the conditions for awakening the Evil God have not yet been met, and the other party has suspended the sacrifice?
Or is it actually a failure, but the outbreak time has not yet come, and widespread infection will occur soon?
The second boot refused to fall to the ground, which kept the five people's hearts hanging. Instead, they really hoped that the plague would break out soon, so they wouldn't have to worry so much anymore.
Of course I’m just thinking about it. No news is the best news. Even if the plague breaks out next moment, at least everyone is safe at this moment. One more person may be rescued one minute later.
There is no time to waste. Dr. Swain has returned to his post and continues to prepare and distribute medicines without sleep. The hateful and pitiful city lord finally died, and the four of them no longer needed to stay in the ward, so they followed him. Even if they couldn't help professionally, they could at least help and do their part.
More and more people took the medicine, but the plague never broke out. As time passed by, a wisp of white appeared on the horizon.
No matter how dark the night is, when the long night passes, the morning light will come as usual.
It's almost dawn.
Several people stopped what they were doing, with joy and confusion in their eyes.
There hasn’t been an outbreak yet, does it really mean that the crisis has passed?
A few people looked at each other, with a smile on their lips.
Victory is already only one step away.
Now everything is going backwards, and the distribution of medicines is going according to plan. At most, everyone will be able to temporarily escape the plague by tonight's evening at most. By then, even if the other party wants to let the plague break out, it will be too late. In theory, after the last person is dispatched and the suppression conditions are met, the four people can go home smoothly.
Light and hope are right in front of you, but before that, there is one more important thing to do.
The Fruit of Human Face is the fundamental purpose of the four people’s trip.
So, when it was past seven o'clock in the morning, the four of them left Dr. Swain, who was tired and had dark circles under his eyes, and walked around the city first.
As expected, the remaining five Lynch trees in the city have grown, but they are all crazy, which further proves the four people’s previous speculations.
The problem is that looking at more than a dozen of his own heads being bitten around him in his hand, Lynch felt very tired and quickly threw them into Miss Diana's storage space, and hurried to the woods outside the city amidst the laughter of the ladies. .
Heavily armed and careful.
There are no soldiers patrolling outside the city day and night. There might be something hidden at this time. Whether it is old Sven or the Republic troops, or even other ghouls. There are too many things in the mysterious world. This was an example of falling at the last moment before victory. As experienced mysterious hunters, the four of them did not want to add to this.
The place where the explosion originally occurred has basically remained unchanged, but the smoke has long since dissipated, and several small beasts have been shuttled back and forth on the scorched earth. Death and life have once again become unified.
The woods were very peaceful. The four of them quickly turned around and found no newly dug holes or any suspicious creatures.
However, the four of them still did not dare to relax. They remained vigilant and quickly found the location of the last five human-faced fruits.
Without even looking closely, three people were on guard, and one person took action. Five times in a row, they dug out the roots of five shrubs and packed them away.
Faster than when they came, the four people hurried back to the city. It was not until they secretly returned to the temporary base of the fortress with dangerous items that the four people breathed a sigh of relief.
We are safe, for now.
Finally it was time for the results to be revealed. The four hearts were nervous and looking forward to it. Miss Diana suppressed her violent heartbeat and threw all five shrubs in front of the four of them with slightly trembling hands.
“Shh.”
Lin Qi picked one up with his own hands and pushed aside the lush branches and leaves outside, revealing the human heads hanging on the branches inside.
It's so ugly. Why is it me again? I want to see how they hang up. Then Lynch took a few punches, and it seemed like everyone had a hand in it, even a certain fool secretly participated.
However, Lynch was still very generous and did not care about these silly women, looking at the last hope.
Five! This is a normal amount, and the fruits are full and the face is handsome. This is an unprecedented phenomenon.
Good sign.
Lin Qi's eyes lit up, he licked his lips and held his breath, carefully pinched a fruit and pulled hard...
"Ouch~~"
Shit, I forgot about this.
On that day, everyone remembered the fright caused by the howling.
It wasn't obvious in the wild, but it became apparent indoors. The screams of this thing were so penetrating that it startled the people outside who were queuing up all night to receive medicine. Dr. Swain had just prepared a batch of medicine and was about to take a short rest to relieve his overdrawn mental energy. He was alerted by the scream and rushed over in a hurry.
So, I saw four fools gathered in a circle, smiling as if they were missing a brain stem, while reaching out to poke a human head in the circle.
The head has fresh facial features and a healthy complexion. It looks like a good head at first glance.
The key is not to bite.
"It seems that your mission has been completed. Finally...congratulations to you."
Looking at the tired and excited expressions on the four people's faces, Dr. Swain couldn't help but feel touched. Infection showed a knowing smile. She had always seen the hard work and persistence of the four people in her heart. Now she finally enjoyed the joy of harvest. This moved Dr. Swain very much, and then kicked them all out.
Picking human-faced fruits in a closed environment. Have you outsiders been infected, or have your brains been hollowed out by the infected? Get out of here.
As a result, the bloody training ground once again heard a series of screams. For a time, both the citizens lining up and the soldiers working had pale faces. Weird legends will surely spread in the city. .
But the harvest is still good.
Lynch has eight heads, Diana and Judy have four heads, and Natalie only has two heads. Hahaha, it is indeed a stone body... Ouch!
Laughter and screams came out almost at the same time. Lynch held the stepped toes and cried sadly, but the joy in his heart at this time could be felt by everyone.
After five days of hard work, I finally got this thing.
While those who are already affected by the disease in the Fifth Age may not be able to get help, at least those who are bitten victims can get treatment.
This can also minimize the impact of previous actions, which makes Lynch feel a big stone.
"How about giving me four pills? One for each person." Dr. Swain showed a thoughtful smile, "You have helped us so much, and I have said before that I will give you a gift. It is just right. I have accumulated a lot of materials in the past fifteen years, which should be enough.”
Only then did the four of them remember the promise made by the female doctor. Lin Qi thought about how fruitful it would be, so he agreed, but said, "What on earth is it?" I’m tired and want to take a rest, so I might as well do it now.”
As she said that, the female doctor took away the heads of the four people with a smile. After waiting in anxiety for nearly an hour, Swain. The doctor returned to the room.
He held four small palm-sized voodoo dolls in his hands, with the same appearance as the four of them.
It’s a bit weird, but what’s not weird in this era?
Everyone looked at each other and took the doll: "What is this?"
"Hey."
