Chapter 935 The Bell
After watching Jiang Chanji and the others fly away from the top of the building, Catherine looked at the poisonous gas getting closer and wanted to ask the dean to wear a gas mask, but the dean may not want to wear it because of the image, but just put it on She wore a mask—as the dean of the dean did. Of course, Catherine could only wear a mask, but Leila didn't have so many taboos and thoughts, so she put on a gas mask without hesitation.

"Michelle, go and check around to see if there are any people who haven't had time to evacuate." The head pastor ordered.

Michelle nodded slightly and took the order to go. She is very suitable for carrying out this task, not to mention the speed is as fast as lightning, and even the doors and windows can't stop her. She can easily enter the house to investigate, even from house to house Investigating one by one will not take too much time.

After she left the top of the building, she began to check the apartment building clockwise around the building. From the perspective of Catherine on the top of the building, Michelle seemed to be drawing concentric circles, and the scope gradually expanded. , although the efficiency is extremely high, they are all alone after all, otherwise, if there are a few more Michelles, the entire city can be checked in no time.

The dean is very determined, even if he is unwell, even if the situation is unpredictable, he can still close his eyes calmly, hold the cross in his hand, pray silently with his lips moving slightly, and ignore the poisonous gas that is getting closer.

Catherine was not so calm. Although she didn't show any panic, she was very confused. She worried about the safety of her sister and friends, and worried about the dean's illness. At the same time, she felt guilty for such selfish thoughts. Pray for the peace of all living beings like the dean of the dean.

Time flies very slowly. Usually, the city is still very lively at this time. Most of the office workers go home, watch TV, quarrel, and help their children with their homework. It suddenly became a ghost town. Although many people did not turn off the lights when they evacuated, there were no more people shaking in the windows, and the city suddenly became quiet. The chirping broke the silence.

I don’t know if people in other areas of the city have evacuated, but at least the people around here have finished walking. Even if there is a traffic jam, it is mostly on the main road out of the city. After all, the population here is not particularly dense, and there is no such thing as dozens of people. A large living area in a multi-storey residential building.

After the poisonous gas enveloped the apartment building, Catherine saw that the dean was fine and the gas was well filtered by the mask, so she quickly went downstairs to get a few bottles of water, because the dean had a fever, and it was impossible not to drink more water.

It took less than a minute for her to come and go. When she returned to the roof, she found that the dean who had closed his eyes and prayed just now stood up and walked to the edge of the roof. As for Leila... she squatted While lowering his head to play with his mobile phone, he didn't even notice the dean's movements.

Catherine was startled, threw away the water and ran to the head dean to support her, lest she slip and fall from the roof. Although it was only the third floor, the head dean's body was no different from that of an ordinary person. If you don't die, you will be seriously injured.

"Master dean, why are you standing up? You should take a good rest..." Catherine said anxiously, and then she was about to help the dean back to the chair, and she turned her head and gave Leila a hard look. In the presence of the dean, she had to quarrel with Leila. How could she let an elderly and sick person walk around on the roof?

Leila knew she was wrong, put away her phone and ran over embarrassingly, but she was too embarrassed to reach out to help her.

"Listen—" the dean stopped Catherine, looking into the distance intently, "do you hear anything?"

Catherine froze for a moment, although she didn't understand what the dean was referring to, she still listened obediently.

Leila also pricked up her ears wonderingly.

On such a quiet night, the sound reflected between the buildings, and the siren of the fire truck could float over from far away. Catherine held her breath and listened for a few seconds, and said uncertainly: "Is it the bell?"

Layla echoed, "It sounds like me, too."

Because of Leila's negligence just now, Catherine didn't look good on her. Whether it was the bell or the gong, she already had too many things to worry about, so she wanted to help the dean back to the seat.

The dean didn't move, and said, "It's like church bells."

"Church?" Catherine's heart moved, and she listened to it again. It was indeed a bit like it—or, in terms of feeling, it probably was.

In a modern city, or near the city, there are only two places that can ring bells, either a temple or a church, and this city does not have a long history, it is a new city, and there are no famous mountains and rivers around it Anyway, Catherine has never heard of a temple nearby, and there are indeed churches - temples and temples must be built in the mountains, otherwise there will be no such... atmosphere, but the location of the church does not need to be so harsh, it can be built in in or around the city.

In addition, although there are relatively few Catholic believers here, it is not impossible. The existence of the church can also hold Western-style weddings for some young people who are pursuing romance, and it can be maintained even if there are few believers.

Catherine was listening carefully, but the bell stopped again, and after waiting for a while, she didn't hear it ringing again.

"The priests, nuns and sisters of the church have not evacuated yet. They may be in trouble. They use the bell to call for help." The dean mused, "We must go to help them."

"Master dean..." Catherine felt inappropriate, "If you feel uneasy, why not let me go and have a look and call Michelle back to accompany you."

It may be faster for Michelle to go there, but Michelle has no hearing, she can’t hear the bell, this may not be a particularly big problem in normal times, but now there is poisonous gas everywhere outside, and the light reflection that Michelle relies on is seriously affected Influence, to put it bluntly, is equivalent to being completely deaf and half blind. It is still possible to go from house to house to find someone like now, but it is difficult to perform complex tasks.

The dean is devout and strong-willed but not stupid. She hesitated a little, thinking that her current physical condition is really not strong enough to support the long-distance bumpy ride, not to mention that it is very difficult to get there by car now, and the roads in the city are full of abandoned people. The vehicle might be blocked somewhere.

"Alright." The head pastor nodded, "everyone is a citizen of God, you can go there now to help those in need, but you don't have to call Michelle back, it's safe here, nothing will happen, besides Isn't there still her?"

"She" refers to Layla, of course, but Catherine doesn't think Layla is a very reliable person. She is worried about leaving the dean alone on the roof and let an unreliable person take care of her.
