C17 Carl

The weak hunter opened his eyes and saw the huge pillar cast a huge shadow under the dim light. It was as if there was a layer of fog in front of him. Everything was clear for less than two seconds before it was covered by the fog.

Thus, everything became blurry. Even with the light, Carl could only see some human-shaped shadows moving back and forth.

"Gilbert! Gilbert!"

Carl shouted at the top of his lungs. He remembered everything he had seen before he lost consciousness.

The beasts that had been struck by the calamity were like a pack of wolves, rushing out from all directions. When they rushed into the panicked crowd of residents, several people who looked extremely normal went crazy, as if the blood in their bodies had been replaced with the blood of the beasts. These crazy people pounced on their closest family, friends, or unlucky strangers, using their hands to tear open the victim's skin. Or they used their teeth to bite open the throats of their relatives and friends.

It was only at that moment that Carl understood why the Church Town wanted to seal off the Yanam.

This was a true Beast Disaster, a curse like disaster.

The ordinary residents who were protected by the hunters had gone through the most professional inspection. Even if they only found a tiny bit of the TransFur, what awaited them was merciless treatment.

However, such strict security measures did not work at all. No one could explain why these people would go crazy in an instant. The shock and despair brought about a huge number of casualties.

The first ones to be cruelly treated were the hunters who had first come into contact with slaughter. Even though Ludwig had already equipped these young men with sufficient protective clothing when recruiting the hunters, many of them were even killed by the crazy residents.

One of them was someone Carl knew.

After that warm and brave young man met up with the large group, the young hunter young man returned to his team. When Carl tried to go back to save him, he saw that his throat was torn by a crazy beast. Before the young man died, he also stuck the hunter's Saw Cleaver into the beast's chest.

This was a common thing. Carl and Gilbert did not hesitate at all because of this. They only knew that this young man was called Makaf, which would make it easier for them to set up tombstones for him in the future.

Ludwig was still decisive in killing. Carl blinked his eyes, which were blinded by the "fog." Now he really wanted to see the holy glow of the moonlight.

The wound on his chest had been bandaged, but it was still very painful. There was no sign of it healing. It was unknown whether no one had injected him with blood or if the blood had no effect on him.

"Here! He's awake!" an unfamiliar voice shouted. In just a few seconds, Carl saw a figure run over in his gray vision and squat beside him.

"Gilbert?"

He used a lot of effort to recognize the person's appearance, but he could not see it clearly. He could only call out tentatively.

"It's me, it's me."

Gilbert's voice rang out, "You shouldn't move now... We are in the virtuous Church of the Chalice, we are safe for the time being."

"Safe?" The voice from before was heard. His tone was full of disbelief and anger. "Don't joke with me. They are just retreating for the time being. And there are still so many people here who are about to become wild beasts!"

"Get lost! Bastard thing!"

Gilbert almost roared out, and then Carl heard the sound of his fingers touching the trigger of the gun.

Carl tried to stop it, but the pain in his chest prevented him from doing anything. He raised his hand slightly and grabbed nothing.

Fortunately, a person walked over from the other side. His voice was deep and magnetic. "Keep quiet and do what you need to do."

"Yes... Mr. Ludwig."

The person's reply revealed the identity of the person. Carl felt Ludwig squatting beside him. A condensed smell of beast blood entered his nostrils.

"Sir." Ludwig called Carl like this. "Your previous struggle was worth it. If it wasn't for your weapon that killed that crazy beast, we might have suffered."

Carl smiled helplessly. He knew that Ludwig was comforting him. Just now, he understood what that man meant.

There was no doubt that he was with a group of people who were diagnosed as infected by the TransFur Disease. However, the strange thing was that fear was expelled from his heart before it was even born.

"Alright, I think my eyes should have already become like that." Carl struggled to raise his hand and randomly gestured. "It's like a cluster of scattered mercury, extremely ugly."

"Carl, you're a hunter. You won't become like that."

Gilbert grabbed his wrist. "As long as there is enough high-quality blood, you can carry it over."

Carl did not answer. As a hunter of hunter workshop and a student of Byron Weiss Academy, he knew very well what it meant when his pupils dilated. It probably wouldn't take long. His brain was going to be filled with the desire to attack others.

So he said, "Gilbert, take the flamethrower. The flame is much better than your pistol. At least it can be used to deal with those damn country bumpkins."

Gilbert did not reply, but Carl knew that his friend's expression must be very ugly.

Ludwig gently patted his shoulder and changed the topic. "Why? Do you also think we should go to Yahar'gul to take a look?"

"This is the only possible way." Karl calmly replied, "The people in that village just built a gate not long ago. Although those country bumpkins are not likable, at least letting them open the gate is better than... Forget it, in short, this is a way to survive."

After saying that, a strong and sweet smell entered his mouth. Carl coughed violently, and then he smelled his own blood. It was a familiar and abominable smell.

"You guys should leave now."

Carl said with a trembling voice. This sentence was so insincere that tears flowed out of the TransFur's eyes and merged with his blood.

"Let me stay here." Carl forced himself to stay awake and said, "The inheritance of the predecessors is worth me being a watchdog. I think no one will come here in the future. This is what I, as a scholar, should do. Help me there."

Both Ludwig and Gilbert knew what Carl was talking about. So they reached out their hands and helped the hunter to the innermost part of the hall. They let him sit down with his back against the stone platform. Behind him was the statue of Church of the Chalice.

"That's it... that's it."

Gilbert squeezed his friend's hand hard, then turned around and left. The First Hunter of the church bent down to help Carl tidy his clothes.

He bowed.

"I hope the Holy Blood will guide you."

Carl did not respond. He just quietly leaned against the statue behind him. In his gray vision, he watched the door of Church of the Chalice close. All the lights were extinguished, and only the cold light from the hole in the church wall was left.

His mind gradually faded.

This was the process of humans transforming into wild beasts. The serious TransFur Disease and the blood in the hunter's body had a terrifying and wonderful change.

His TransFur had been here for far longer than the others who had been left behind. When this skinny beast whose upper body was covered by fur and rags and had exaggerated front paws let out a low roar, the "people" who had long ago turned into wild beasts had completely dispersed.

The monster that thirsted for blood was pacing back and forth, like a real watchdog watching over the People of Yanam in memory of the statue it had built when it first discovered the Divine Blood. However, all it could smell was the burning scent of the Yanan City.

...

[Searching Text - Good Church of the Chalice]

The Goodness Church of the Chalice should be a small church building located at the bottom of Yanam. It was not used as a church. Instead, it was more like it was used to commemorate something.

According to the hunter's memory, this matter seemed to be described as "People of Yanam discovered the Divine Blood for the first time," but as for how exactly it was discovered, it was not clear.

This was the last stop of the Church Hunter, "Carl." The gap between the Dreamland saved him from being seriously injured by wild beasts. It should be because of this that he was infected by the TransFur Disease and eventually stayed in the Good Compassion Church of the Chalice.

[Searching Text - Yahar'gul]

A village that was connected to the Yanam but was despised by the People of Yanam. The residents of the Yahar'gul were often described as rude and country bumpkins by the resident of Yanan.

The road to the Yahar'gul was also located at the bottom of the Yanam. The villagers seemed to know the relationship between them and the People of Yanam, so they built a huge door to separate themselves from the town. However, it was this village that eventually became the last path of survival for Ludwig and the others.

...

Zhang Liang closed the laptop. It was already eight o'clock in the morning. After sleeping again, he had experienced a short and profound experience in Dreamland.

Lin Bahn, who was sleeping on the upper bed, slept very soundly. He had been woken up by Zhang Liang time and time again. This time, he completely fell asleep. He didn't even say a single word in his sleep.

Zhang Liang picked up the mirror next to him and looked at his eyes. He found that the symptoms of the disintegration of his pupils had basically disappeared, and his eyes had returned to normal.

He vaguely grasped the connection between this symptom and Dreamland. This time, Dreamland did not make any noise or sound. Even when he woke up and recalled everything that had happened in his dream, Zhang Liang felt a rare calmness, just like when a hunter was leaning against a statue alone.

"I need to find out what is going on." He drank the cold water in the cup and felt the liquid flowing into his body through his esophagus. "I hope today's meeting will not disappoint me..."
