My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu
Chapter 544 Plague
Three days later, Elvin conducted a strict inspection of Mariles' team and others.
After a series of arguments, it was finally confirmed that these people were normal.
He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Boys, go home. Let's give you a day off today and tomorrow.
Enjoy your vacation and continue to work hard after returning to the team."
"Thank you, Bishop!"
Mariles bowed and saluted, and then greeted his subordinates:
"Guys, I invite you to have a drink at the Broken Bones Tavern tonight."
The Broken Bones Tavern is the most popular tavern for the Night's Watch. It has the strongest wine and the most charming maids.
On weekdays, it is the gathering place of the Night's Watch, and it is like a second base for everyone.
Faranil immediately responded: "Haha, I must go to the tavern early and order a roasted whole lamb and wait for the captain to pay the bill."
"Let's go together," the team was full of laughter.
Everyone was relieved because no abnormalities were found through the inspection.
A large part of the death list of the Night's Watch was caused by various infections after the battle.
Mariles thought of something and looked up and asked:
"Bishop, what are those strange insects? Have you found them?"
These days, he saw patrol teams being admitted to the hospital. After asking around, he learned that these people had the same experience as them.
"Pah."
Elvin slapped his head in annoyance and said awkwardly:
"I have been too busy these days. I didn't have time to dissect those strange insects."
Mariles shook his head slightly and smiled:
"When the bishop has a result, remember to tell me."
After Mariles and others left, Elvin led his assistants to check the conditions of other wounded one by one, and dealt with various trivial matters during the period.
The day was spent in busyness. When night fell, he returned to his residence with his hands behind his back and a heavy heart.
Since the first team was attacked by the unknown red strange insects, it was like opening the magic box of the evil god Pandora. There have been several patrol teams attacked by strange insects.
When the injured team members followed the emergency care manual to save themselves, they inevitably lost a lot of blood, which would greatly affect the team's combat effectiveness.
He sighed in his heart. Winter was coming. If the troops suffered a large number of non-combat casualties, this winter would be too difficult to endure.
Returning to his residence, he lit two special tallow lamps, and the slightly dim room was immediately bright.
Erwin sat at the table and wrote a report on the unusual situation in recent days, preparing to submit it the next day.
The patrol team often encountered attacks from creatures they had never seen before, because the monsters living in the gray fog were always mutating. Even if they were originally the same monsters, they would be like two completely different creatures after mutation.
But being attacked by the same monster continuously was something that had never happened before, and Erwin instinctively felt that there was something wrong.
The news came from the Holy See that the gods speculated that there might be evil gods nearby. The archbishop once organized a group of elite troops to explore around the city, but found nothing.
Now the unusual red monster insects have attacked repeatedly, and Erwin suddenly realized that this might be the minions of the evil god.
As long as he finds the nest where these strange insects are entrenched, he can verify whether his guess is true.
After writing the report, Erwin yawned. He was exhausted physically and mentally after working continuously for many days, and he was shrouded in deep sleep.
The work of dissecting and studying the strange insects that attacked the soldiers has not been carried out. He sighed and decided to sleep first and complete the dissection work early tomorrow morning.
He took a few deep breaths to calm his mind and calm his breath. After his mind calmed down, he began to pray before going to bed.
The archbishop conveyed the instructions of the Holy See that everyone must keep praying for half an hour every day to purify the inner world and prevent the spirituality from being corroded by invisible pollution.
After praying, Erwin set an alarm and fell asleep.
In the barn in the camp, camels were eating grass quietly.
Some camels had no appetite. They felt their bodies trembling and their limbs could not support the weight of their bodies, so they lay on the ground.
The bell tower of Lordaeron rang seven times, and the Broken Bone Tavern was bustling with people at this time.
The smell of smoke and food mixed with the aroma of food in the back kitchen made people's appetites whetted.
When Mariles arrived at the tavern, the team members had already occupied two adjacent tables.
The maids twisted their slender waists and shuttled between the tables. He casually patted the soft peach-like back of a familiar maid and immediately felt the aftermath of the shock:
"Hi, Voss, long time no see."
This maid was the hottest maid in the tavern, and the two of them would occasionally spend a good night together.
The maid turned around angrily, and when she saw who was holding out her salty hands, her angry expression instantly became gentle as water, and she threw a coquettish smile and said:
"Dear Mariles, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"
"Every moment!"
Mariles responded that his family returned to the embrace of the gods because of various reasons for leaving the world.
Whenever he felt lonely, he could always find comfort in this maid.
"Beautiful lady, do you have time tonight?"
Vos nodded charmingly and whispered in his ear:
"Let's go for a walk after I get off work."
After that, she turned and left, leaving behind a few faint fragrances.
"Hey, captain, don't just stand there, here!"
A team member whistled and winked at this side and shouted.
Everyone knew about the affair between the captain and the waitress with a proud figure.
"Coming."
Mariles swallowed the saliva he didn't know was caused by the smell of the food or something else, and quickly came to the table and sat down.
He glanced at everyone, raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Faranir, you guys are not in good condition. Why don't you drink a few drinks early and go back to bed."
The spirits of several injured team members seemed to be relatively weak. Thinking about it, a lot of blood was drained to treat the injuries. How could it be replenished so quickly?
Thinking of this, his heart sank slightly.
The attack in the past few days was not an exception. There were still many unknown red monsters entrenched in the patrol area. The matter was very serious and I didn’t know how to deal with it in the future.
"Damn it, if you don't find a girl to be gentle with you, how can you be worthy of the injury?"
Faranir forced himself to cheer up his flagging spirit and took a sip of strong wine.
Because the weather in the Lordaeron region is too cold, the spirits here are the best-selling items, and fruit wine and ale cannot be sold at all.
Faranir shook his head. No one knew that as he shook, countless invisible green dust spread in the tavern.
The atmosphere in the tavern became more and more lively, the alcohol excited and anesthetized people's nerves, everyone laughed heartily and breathed heavily.
From time to time, someone braved the cold wind and pushed open the thick leather curtain, and the smell in the tavern spread to the outside world.
At five o'clock in the morning, Erwin was woken up by the alarm clock, and he struggled to get up.
After lighting the butter lamp, brewing a cup of strong coffee and drinking it, he felt his consciousness slowly come to his senses.
He found the bottle containing the red monster, went to the laboratory next door, and began the dissection.
The knife cut through the withered body of the strange insect, quickly turning it into a pile of minced meat and organs.
Then he took out various chemicals and devices and began to test the contamination of these corpse tissues.
He submerged the last bit of solidified green substance into the golden light potion, and immediately smelled a faint rancid smell, which was nauseating.
He found that the potion did not react with boiling and nodded slightly.
The potion did not boil, indicating that the experimental subject was slightly contaminated, which was far inferior to other monsters living in the gray fog.
Even considering that the monster insect's body is very small, he believes that this kind of monster insect is no match for the evil god's minions.
Erwin took out the report he wrote last night, revised it and re-transcribed it, preparing to send someone to submit it to the Archbishop after dawn.
In the new report, he crossed out speculation about the evil god's minions.
Mariles nodded with satisfaction when he saw the team members returning one after another.
“Guys, cheer up and end your patrol early so we can come back early.
Faranir, I see how decadent you have been these days. If you know that you are not in good health, you should stop fooling around with your lover. "
As expected, this dirty joke caused the team members to laugh secretly.
Faranir felt uncomfortable, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't detect anything specific.
He curled his lips and said angrily:
"Come on, captain, you have dark circles under your eyes, and you still have the nerve to tell others!"
There was another round of laughter.
Mariles saw that the team members' spirits improved after the joke and waved his hand:
"Okay, the joke is over. Grab your camel beast and let's set off now!"
After a while, the team members got on their camel beasts and started patrolling.
Just after running more than ten kilometers, Mariles realized something was wrong. The camel beast's body was getting hotter and hotter, and it felt very unstable when running.
"Everyone, slow down a little. My camel seems to be sick."
Everyone restrained their camel beasts one after another, and the team stopped.
Faranir frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"My camel seems to be sick too, and it's a little wobbly when running. Just now I was thinking about going back to the veterinarian after the patrol.
Are those breeders blind, unable to see that something is wrong with the camel beast? "
"Captain, my camel seems to be sick too."
"Mine too."
When Mariles heard that all the team members reported that his camel beast was not in the right state and seemed to be sick, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
No matter how coincidental it is, there can't be so many camel beasts having problems at the same time.
Not only him, but everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
These camel beasts have always been fed together. If something goes wrong with them, other camel beasts may also have problems.
"Faranir, go back immediately and inform the bishop about this."
Mariles ordered that the matter was urgent. No one knew what kind of disease the night watchman's camels were suffering from, and whether this disease had any impact on the human body.
"As you command," Faranir responded. He took a deep breath and rushed back desperately without caring about his camel beast.
"thump."
The running camel suddenly knelt down on its front legs, plunged to the ground, and never got up again.
Immediately afterwards, dark green pus flowed from its eye sockets and mouth and nose.
"Shit!"
Faranir rolled on the ground a few times and then got up and came to the camel beast.
His eyes suddenly opened wide and his pupils shrank sharply. In such a situation, even a fool would know that there was something wrong, and it was an extremely serious problem.
He had never encountered such a situation, and what was even more terrifying was that he had no idea when it started.
At this moment, Faranir felt that his physical discomfort was getting worse, but he couldn't care less.
He tore off his coat and everything that affected his speed, and ran with all his strength in the direction of Lordaeron.
The camel beast behind him quickly turned into a dark green thing. In the desolate environment, this color not only failed to bring people stability, but also felt inexplicably dangerous.
Faranir felt his body getting hotter and hotter, a drop of sweat flowed down his forehead to the corner of his eyes, and he actually saw a touch of deep green.
He reached out to touch his eye sockets and found that his hands were covered with a sticky dark green substance.
What happened? When did I get tricked?
Faranir realized that he had the same disease as the camel beast, and he immediately felt infinite fear in his heart.
"Well"
He suddenly began to vomit, and dark green pus overflowed from his mouth, nose, and eye sockets.
Faranir could no longer hold on, his body softened and he slowly fell, his consciousness quickly blurred, and finally he sank into boundless darkness.
Lordaeron City, Broken Bones Tavern.
While Voss was wiping the table, he suddenly felt light-headed and fell weakly on the table.
The tavern owner shouted bitterly:
"Hurry up and get to work! I don't pay you to be lazy."
Before he finished speaking, Voss suddenly raised his face and looked at him.
The tavern owner smiled strangely when he saw the other party, and dark green pus flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
The boss suddenly felt infinite nausea rising from the bottom of his stomach, and he couldn't hold back from retching.
Then he was horrified to find that dark green mucus was also spurting out of his mouth.
"What, camel beasts died in large numbers, what happened?"
Erwin suddenly stood up from the chair, and the chair fell to the ground with too much force.
The head groom who was responsible for raising the camels turned pale and said tremblingly:
"I, I don't know what happened. After hearing the report, I rushed to the scene immediately and found that few of the camel beasts were able to move.
The animal shed was filled with disgusting green pus and a faint rotten smell, which was very much like a rat that had started to rot in summer. "
Putrid smell?
Erwin suddenly thought of the situation when he dissected the strange insect, and realized that he might have overlooked something crucial.
He took a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down and said:
"Come on, take me to the scene to see it."
The two of them quickly arrived at the animal shed. The leader of the groom saw several subordinates guarding the door falling to the ground and ran over in a hurry.
Erwin's heart "thumped" and he quickened his pace and rushed in front of the leader of the groom.
When he saw the thick dark green pus flowing out of the mouth and nose of the fallen person, his scalp suddenly became numb:
"It's over, it's a plague, a plague that can be transmitted to humans!"
