Abyss Express

Chapter 745 [The Ray of Light·A ray of light]

Foreword:

Hunger always accompanies genius.

--Mark Twain

[Part①·Eureka moment]

We are safe, for now.

Waves of strange spiritual pressure fluctuations swept from the upper reaches of the river, and countless terrifying blood eagles lurked in its turbulent undercurrent.

All this is thanks to Fickwood Abby's psychic research experiments. These fish-human hybrids smelled the sweet smell, followed the blood of the messenger officers and soldiers, and wanted to catch up with Judas - to taste the aura of the Buddha. of ageless meat.

After repelling the first wave of offensive, Billy Horn slowly returned to the cabin with the support of Judas, dragging his tired and suffering body.

He came back victorious again, but without a hearty laugh or a celebratory speech.

Because he knew that this bad weather would continue——

——In Daoheng County, extraordinary natural and earthly disasters have occurred.

Unless this spiritual pressure environment can be restored to normal, the animals, plants, and even lichen microbial communities in the surrounding area will slowly turn into spiritual disaster derivatives.

The Arab man next to him is not a fuel-saving lamp. This guy has strange powers and can wield a rock-breaking pickaxe to smash the blood eagle's death door. He is probably a blood-granting unit.

Faye Frosalin immediately took out the medicine bottle and fed Billy the few remaining drops of medicine she used last time.

With the potion, he gradually regained some strength, and the wounds on his chest and lungs were also slowly healing, which was good news.

He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. This physical body consumed too much energy. He had close contact with the mythical unit three times - Billy Horn's spiritual world was about to collapse.

"Why."

He leaned against the window, tore open his tattered work clothes, and watched as the muscles in his chest gradually healed and re-outlined the angular lines as hard as iron. These were traces of the gunsmith teacher's years of work that required him to manually build the abutment base frame. , is also his capital to face the incarnation butterfly.

"Why do you know my name, little sister?"

Fayi was stunned for a moment. She couldn't answer the question and quickly looked at Judas.

Judas pursed his lips and responded casually: "It says it on your ID card."

Billy didn't believe it, and then asked: "I heard you two arguing. You two seem to be Arabs?"

"I am a Semitic." Judah responded in a low voice, pointing to Ms. Fayi: "She is a Persian."

The name Semitic does not refer to a single nation, but to a group of people whose national languages ​​belong to Afro-Asiatic and Semitic languages.

At the same time, this Semitic in the Bible also refers to Noah's eldest son (Shem). Judah did not lie - he did not understand his ethnic origin, so he could only use Semitic to give a general answer.

"Do me a favor, brother," Billy shouted to Judas.

When he heard the title [brother], Judas's expression changed subtly.

It was a complex emotion of resentment, sympathy, arrogance and contempt.

Judas thought to himself——

——If it weren’t for these blood eagle monsters, this kid Billy Horn would have become food rations long ago. Where did he get the confidence to call me a brother?

I picked up the rock pick just now and saved his life, and now he wants to send me out again? Order me to do something for him?

Yes, the Priest completely ignored the objective fact that Billy Horn fought off the Blood Eagle. This is how business is done, putting aside all kindness and friendship, there are only pure interests of you and me.

In Judah's worldview, he only remembered that he helped Billy, and could not remember another thing at all - without Billy Horn, both he and Faye would have to become food in the blood eagle's mouth.

But don’t be surprised——

——This kind of ogre often appears in the mortal world. When writing a contract, there is no obligation, only rights. They never emphasize fairness and reciprocity. What they want is the absolute inequality between Party A and Party B.

And Judas was the best among them. In terms of settling accounts, he took advantage of everything and could not suffer any losses. It was this talent that contributed to the great achievements of the alliance.

"Do me a favor, brother!" Billy Horn shouted again, "Bring the boatman over here, I can't move."

Judas did not move. He was thinking about the meaning. He had never been the only one who shouted and obeyed the orders of others. This was the first time.

Billy opened the rice dumpling leaves, chewed the cold sweet rice dumplings, and swallowed the high-energy and high-sugar food.

"No one is at the helm now. I have to confirm the status of the boatman brother and wake him up - this boat is going all the way south along the Wujiang River. If it hits a rock halfway, enters a dead end of a tributary, and is stranded in a barren mountain and old forest, my compass I can’t tell the direction either.”

"At that time, if it is not Blood Eagle's turn, we will starve to death and freeze to death in this desolate land."

"Being eaten by wild beasts, being found and eaten by derivatives of the spiritual disaster environment, being blocked and entangled by various kudzu vines and thorns, unable to find a way out, cold dampness and poisonous miasma of snakes and insects can kill us."

"I'm afraid of water, I don't want to get off the boat, man."

Judas turned his head and said casually to Fayi: "Go and bring the boatman."

He was still unwilling to do it himself and wanted to send cadres to do it.

Billy immediately shouted stop: "No!"

Judas said impatiently: "Chirping, chirping, chirping! It's so annoying!"

Billy explained: "Brother Boatman's leg was injured. He has a Vita mark on his body. He may have an attack at any time in this spiritual pressure environment. I saw before that this little sister also had a rash on her face."

"They cannot come into contact with each other, otherwise they will be cross-infected. This little girl can still run and jump now. If she touches the bad leg of the boatman brother and comes into close contact with the deeply infected flesh tissue, it won't be long before she will also paralyzed."

"It's you instead, brother."

Billy changed the topic and stared directly at Judas.

"You killed the Blood Eagle. This monster's body was full of sources of spiritual disaster pollution, but you didn't get sick, which means your resistance is very strong."

The holy blood formula in Judah's body is better than that of Faye Frosalin, not only in the basic attributes of physical exertion, heart and blood circulation, but also in the ability to resist diseases and disasters.

"I beg you, no matter what grudges you have with this little girl, whether she is a slave you bought or your private property." Billy had already made it clear: "Please also personally bring Brother Boatman to your house. Bring him here and let me see his injury."

Fay's heart broke when she heard these words.

She looked at the frail Billy Horne, and then thought of the young man on the train who was willing to lend his shoulder to a strange woman to lean on——

——She thought, how could there be such innocent and simple people in the world?

Judas emphasized: "Okay! You are right! You are right! I will do this! But I want to emphasize-"

The leader of the Guild Alliance glared at Faye Florsalin fiercely and at the little lark.

"——This is my own wish! It's not an idea I came up with after listening to your long talk."

"I announce now!~"

Judas opened his arms and stood up straight. A sudden inspiration came to his mind, and he fully displayed his talent for command.

"I want to save this boatman, not only to show kindness, but also to ask for something in return, and then let the boatman take me out of this hellish place."

Billy smiled: "Yes! Yes! Leader! Yes!"

"Hahahaha!" Judas pointed at Billy Horn's nose: "You are a very sensible boy!"

Billy immediately responded: "Thank you! Leader! Thank you! Thank you for your life-saving grace."

"If we can leave alive," Judas turned to the dark corner of the cabin and asked meaningfully: "Billy Horn, are you willing to follow me? You seem to be good at fighting."

Judas's mind was racing. Faced with a life-and-death crisis, he needed Billy Horn's violence.

This kind of violence can be purchased with many things, including Billy Horn's verbal admission of "life-saving grace", and Faye Frosalin's worthless love. Since the Lazuli Guardian can read the Blood Butterfly Bible, then Anonymous disciples can also read this book.

This ignorant and fearless warrior was like a gift from the goddess Io to Judas, falling from the sky when he needed help the most.

Billy responded: "That depends, leader."

Unconsciously, Judas returned to a familiar rhythm. He liked this feeling of being in control of everything.

Although he didn't agree directly, he was sure to open the door to Billy Horn's heart little by little.

Perhaps there are more blood eagle monsters that will board the ship one after another. Faye Frosalin is just an exquisite doll and cannot deal with these monsters at all. Billy the Kid will definitely step up and continue to build those bonds of friendship.

Judas has this confidence and confidence——

——He carried the boatman to Billy, tore open the boatman's brother's trouser legs, revealing his red, shriveled body.

"He's in bad shape, Billy Horn."

Billy took a closer look and saw that the boatman had been sentenced to death.

This leg was sucked by the blood eagle. At first glance, it was full of rotten spots. Most of the muscles lost water and shrank. The insect nests were eaten into the bones. The face was bloodless and the cheeks were sunken. If it was stimulated by spiritual pressure again, then The nymphs raised by the high-arched belly will emerge from the cocoons and turn into butterflies immediately, without the long process of ten months of pregnancy. Without a panacea, the boatman will be dead.

Billy hurriedly rummaged through his backpack, but he couldn't find the second bottle of potion.

As an engineering unit evacuating the battlefield, he and Foianini's tactical resources must be handed over to Teacher Su Ling, including life-saving supplies such as panacea. Originally, he and Foianini each kept a bottle of potion with them, but Foianini's bottle of potion was not left behind either——

——According to the tactics of [Phoenix], Teacher Su Ling drinks medicine just like drinking water. The two brothers decided to keep only one bottle of medicine and give the rest to Teacher Su Ling as tactical resources.

Now that the medicine is gone, this boatman brother may not be able to save his life.

[Part②·Terror Balance]

Billy did not panic. He laid the boatman brother's body flat, rummaged through his backpack, took out the toolbox of surveying instruments, opened the iron box and found a bottle of Laoganma, unscrewed the lid of the can of chili sauce, and inside There is also Mrs. Bai freeze-dried powder.

He reluctantly got up, used up the last bit of his strength, turned Foianini's body over, got the small stove in his backpack, stuffed the gas can into it and started to make a fire.

Judas watched with great interest and had no intention of helping him——

——He is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to rectify his name, to throw out the price just right, and to capture the heart of this violent machine.

"Mr. Horn, I'm afraid Mrs. Bai's products won't be able to cure this old man's legs." The experienced alliance leader whispered: "According to the degree of infection, you have to boil water and make tea to kill insects and disinfect. I'm afraid it won't work. oh."

Billy was unsure, but he had to give it a try. He poured in all the freeze-dried powder from the can of Lao Ganma, turned it into a paste with boiling water, and waited for the medicine to be fully activated. Regardless of the pain, he used his fingers to With his head moistened with hot mud, he applied these vitalizing folk ointments on the boatman brother's legs, gradually moving toward his stomach.

The high-temperature medicinal mud once again activated this rotten and dead leg, and layers of fresh blood seeped out from the flesh and bones - but its self-healing speed was too slow.

Fat worms quickly crawled out from the depths of the bones. They found new targets, just like locust swarms flying into the fields that were about to be deserted, trying to eat up all the new bones, blood and flesh.

"Damn it!" Billy yelled, swatting the bugs hard with his big hands, his face turned pale with fright.

It doesn't heal quickly enough, and it doesn't have the targeted treatment effects of the White Lady's eggs and Vita Marks.

Its concentration is too low, and there are many placebo fillers in the freeze-dried powder, so it is no better than a panacea.

"Be calm and don't be impatient." Judas lowered his body and stopped at Billy Horn's ear, gently blowing out a stream of evil spirit: "Billy Horn, be impatient and impatient, my hero, my comrade-in-arms, I pity the world's righteous and awe-inspiring companions."

"Why don't you let me try?"

Billy immediately hid on the other side, his eyes full of vigilance - he knew in his heart that the guy in front of him was definitely a blood donor, including the poor-looking girl, and these two unknown travelers were all blood donors. unit.

Foianini just glanced at the Blood Eagle a few more times before he fainted from fear.

However, the minds of the man and woman were not affected much, and they did not contract the disease, which can already explain a lot of things.

"Judas." Billy the Kid whispered the name: "You are Judas? Right?"

The War Information Center once shared some information about Judah with the anonymous soldiers. The most obvious feature is his brown skin.

After so long, the gunsmith teacher has not replied to the letter, and the summons bell has not received any news. There seems to be no breakthrough in Operation Autumn Harvest - this means that the mission in Daoheng County is not over yet.

During the Earth Mother's Sacrifice Ceremony, the only people who could freely enter and leave Feather's territory and escape this psychic disaster were the top characters of the Guiyi Sect.

Judas did not feel any surprise, but was extremely excited.

"Billy Horn, you're not that stupid!~"

It seems that the joke has come true——

——Am I here to kill Judas? real or fake?

Billy Boy's face was pale and he did not dare to approach the head of all demons.

"Do you believe it?! Billy Horn! Do you believe me?!" Judah's palm gently caressed the legs and feet of the boatman brother. He tore off a piece of rotten flesh as big as a palm and swallowed some of the insect eggs into his stomach. , "I eat the most poisonous food and do the greatest career."

"How unfair and cruel."

Feeling that he had some strength, he stretched out his hands again and performed a miracle for Billy Horn.

"I'm supposed to be a messenger from the gods, Billy."

"They are the people of God chosen by God, the pilots of mankind, and the symbols of civilization."

Under the kiss of the vulture, the layers of rotten flesh gradually turned into a pure light yellow broth. The tumbling and struggling Madam Bai had to repeatedly refine the essence, and gradually, under the control of the soul power of "Midas Turning Stone into Gold", It turns into nutritious insect juice and the raw material for a panacea.

"I can withstand the vicious curse of the Original Seed. I should be the King of Kings, that's how I should be!"

The bird's beak pecked all the way up, and the Judas Kiss exhaled bursts of gray smoke——

——He is like an artist, casually removing the intestinal flora, picking and separating the mycelium protein imprinted by Vita. The arms and toes of the vulture spirit body with feathered limbs sweep away useless waste and poisons. After three After four separations and purifications, the clinker for the panacea was gradually completed.

Let's look forward -

——Look towards the scavengers at Mimir Hot Springs Market.

Bu Liuxing once said, is there a possibility that he can borrow money repeatedly, get stuck with a shocking bug, donate blood and sell meat repeatedly, and then drink medicine to heal his body?

Then the miracle performed by Judas is this BUG——

——He is using the boatman's body to make medicine, and at the same time he is healing the poor man.

"To resolve this curse, to me it is just a matter of re-adjusting the structure of the essence, clarifying every filthy thing, eliminating every cursed thing, eliminating original sin in people, and escaping God's divine punishment. ”

Judas murmured in a low voice, and his palms followed the boatman's rapidly regenerating abdominal cavity, spreading all the way to his thighs, and then to his calves——

——It looks like a medical miracle performed by God, a ray of light in a dark age, a true Buddha, true Bodhisattva, true god and true spirit who saves the world with compassion.

"Billy Horn," Judas called to his new disciple.

For the boatman brothers, the price of this kind of reconstruction of the body is also the mental damage that scavengers have to endure by repeatedly donating blood and selling meat.

Their hearts will gradually become numb, they will lose inspiration, they will become cold-blooded and ruthless, and they will gradually forget their [only way]——

"——You see me as a disaster."

Judah stroked the leg of the boatman brother. The white skin was as fragile as a newborn baby.

He knew that the next journey would probably be very difficult——

——But the [Midas Touch] will never let him down. As long as these Homo sapiens are stained with the Vita brand, he will never be short of meat.

"But it's the opposite! Billy Horn!"

"How can you believe the nonsense of Aohen Mingde? It's not a human being. No matter how it confuses right and wrong, it's a beast!"

"I am a living person. I will be afraid, I will be timid and cowardly. I am afraid of violence. I just want to survive. I am a human like you."

"We helped each other and fought off the freak derivative of the original seed. We are comrades."

"We are comrades, right?"

Billy Horn's mind is being tested. It seems that the society built by BOSS has never taken special care of him, a poor guy.

Before boarding this ship, he was not brave enough. Just because he was not brave enough, he had to watch the glory and wealth slip away from his hands bit by bit.

He was not strong enough to be a warrior with a sharp sword. His energy was not big enough to decide the fate of Duran and Flavia like Teacher Victor. Naturally, he could not decide the fate of Fayi Frosalin.

He couldn't even save his lover. He was just a minor character. His name was not in the history books, just like many people, just like countless people.

"No, no."

Despite this, Billy still shook his head and gritted his teeth at the enemy of the unknown.

Judah was not in a hurry. He was like a patient fisherman, just like the gunsmith: "Isn't it right? If there is no Aohen Mingde."

"Shut up!" Billy Horne widened his eyes and involuntarily groped for weapons in his backpack.

Judah raised his hands in surrender: "If there is no Aohen Mingde."

The scarred geological hammer was about to kiss Judah's head——

"—— Fayi."

The hammer stopped in front of Judah's nose.

Judah's tone did not change at all, his eyes were cold: "Fayi, yes, Fayi, your rose fairy."

Mr. Horn could not move at all. He looked sideways at the other side of the cabin. Just as he imagined, the girl in front of him, who was only in her twenties, was really Fayi Frosalin, Judah's last life-saving feather.

He couldn't do it. Love could give him strength, but also made him weak.

If he and Judah exploded, as long as they trapped this guy to death on the boat, it seemed that everything would be perfect.

But Fuanini, Fayi, and the boatman brothers had to be buried with them. Without the divine power of [Turning Stone into Gold] to heal their wounds, if there were still pursuers, they would definitely die in the mouth of the blood eagle.

Due to the interference caused by the special spiritual pressure environment, the summoning bell's spirit insects were unable to bring the news of Daoheng County back to the war center. Billy was also responsible for calling for follow-up reinforcements. At least he had to send back the paper intelligence and audio records, otherwise the gunsmith teacher would be isolated and helpless in the Ai Zong Mausoleum.

He roared loudly, and the more he cursed, the weaker his mental strength became.

"Bastard! You damn bastard! Judas! You deserve to die! You really deserve to die!"

Judas gently fiddled with the hammer--

"--Let's slowly get through this difficult time, Billy Horn, look forward, look forward."

"You should think clearly and see clearly. What Aohen Mingde can't give you, I can give you."

"You have never betrayed mankind, but you have awakened from ignorance! You have awakened! You are different!"

"You have seen through the slander and tricks of the beast and finally came to my side."

Judas gently patted Billy Horn's shoulder, maintaining a delicate balance of terror.

"We are in the same boat and are connected by blood"
