Chapter 256 Seven Types of Heartbeats!

Xia Yanzhen returned to his residence, took out the eternal blood armor and gave it to the blood armor knights.

Eve did not leave with those people.

"Aren't you going?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"I only care about valuable prey, or men who are strong enough." Eve said with a smile.

Eve has no interest in killing those infected who are unable or unable to resist.

Now that the situation is stable, she can be a little willful and not get involved in this kind of thing.

On the one hand, she is from Huolun, and now the outside world is dominated by Huolun.

No cardinal would go to trouble with Eve over such a trivial matter.

On the other hand, is it considered that he has benefited from Xia Yanzhen?

"Are you not interested in this either?" Eve asked.

Xia Yanzhen shook his head. Naturally, he couldn't like this kind of slaughter.

If he was given enough power, Xia Yanzhen would try to let those people in to see if they could be cured.

Unfortunately, he only has a high status and does not have any real power.

Forcibly letting people in will only cause more trouble.

Eve mentioned her interests, and Xia Yanzhen took a look at himself to see what he was interested in.

The dislikes are clear, like the things Horen sent them to do.

As for those who like and are interested...

Xia Yanzhen thought about it carefully. He needed to become stronger and have enough strength to support him in doing what he wanted to do.

In the beginning, Xia Yanzhen had the indestructible body that Wang Dong said, but it has come to an end.

Unless he himself commits suicide, he will be able to break through between life and death.

At that time, facing the power of modern hot weapons, Xia Yanzhen would definitely retreat.

His plan is to take advantage of the policy tailwind after passing the college entrance examination, study as a national defense student and then join the army to become stronger in another way.

Later, the dream of God opened.

Xia Yanzhen's own path to becoming stronger became clear again, and this plan was temporarily shelved.

But getting stronger will never stop.

Not only for the things he has to do in the future, Xia Yanzhen himself also enjoys the feeling of becoming stronger.

He actually has no particular likes or dislikes about combat itself - even because of the bloodshed (of the enemy), he often doesn't like the balance to be tilted a little bit.

Fighting is just a means to become stronger, breathing techniques, various studies, and exercises are also means to become stronger.

What Xia Yanzhen really likes is "being a little stronger than yesterday" every day.

After sorting out his inner thoughts, Xia Yanzhen said nothing.

Eve also became quiet.

Just like a quiet inner city.

In addition to blocking the black tide, the light curtain also has a function of isolating sound.

The cries that could be heard originally could no longer be heard in the Holy City.

People inside have no idea what is happening outside.

Only a few people living near the city gate could see the blood-armored knight leading the knight and a group of men in black away.

They went out through the small door next to the main door and closed it to isolate the inside and outside.

It took a long time before he came back with blood all over his body.

Not all of them came back, some were stuck outside the city and could not come back.

Thick smoke and fire could be vaguely seen outside the city, and disappeared as night fell.

As darkness falls, the atmosphere in the outer city becomes even more tense.

Many people can't sleep. Lighting candles and the slightest sound of wind and grass can wake them up.

It's like being in a zoo, watching the beasts through transparent glass.

Even though I know there is no danger, I will still be startled when a beast suddenly pounces and makes a move.

The first night when the black tide came, a group of people spent it in fear.

It wasn't until the first light of morning came and day replaced night that the panic gradually subsided - compared to the night.

Xia Yanzhen stood on the city wall, took off the black cloth and looked into the distance, narrowing his eyes.

As time went on and the Cavaliers struck out, it didn't get better.

Instead, it became extremely worse.

With Xia Yanzhen's eyesight, at the end of his sight, there was still a black tide of rats.

With red eyes, the furious rats were still devouring each other.

In all directions of the Holy City, it has been completely reduced to a sea of ​​rats.

There is no end in sight.

Wave after wave of "wild waves" bombarded the Holy City.

A true island.

The height of the black "wave" even exceeded the high wall of the Holy City. It came with shadows, hit the light curtain, and scattered in all directions.

Ten seconds later, the rats attacked again.

The mice no longer looked like individuals, but became a whole.

Wave after wave of crazy impact.

Moreover, the rats came out of the ground, and a large number of burrows caused the ground to collapse.

Outside the Holy City, a large part of the ground is sunken, and the height has dropped by nearly ten meters from the original level.

If people go down, they will no longer be as "down to earth" as they were the day before. If the mice don't get up, they will just crawl around their feet.

Instead, it will be swallowed directly by the sea of ​​rats.

Not only that, Xia Yanzhen also saw some dead bodies floating among the rats. At first glance, there were not many, but if they really gathered, they would definitely far exceed the number of dead bodies they encountered near the castle that day.

Some of these dead bodies were infected people who were driven away yesterday.

In one day, he had changed from an infected person to a dead body.

The outbreak of the Black Death occurred at an alarming rate, several times faster than normal.

Xia Yanzhen looked at the sky, and a "wave" just hit him, replacing the original sunlight and casting a shadow on his face.

Bombarding the light screen, the black waves broke, and a large number of rat corpses fell down.

It is easy to tell whether these mice are dead or not. When the red color in the eyes disappears, it means the death of the mice.

The black waves broke and the sunlight reoccupied the high ground.

However, before anyone could take a breath, the overwhelmingly depressing wave of rats struck again.

The tide ebbs and flows.

It seems to be endless, just like human breathing, but the bombardment of the waves of rats makes people so depressed that they can't breathe at all.

There are no ordinary militiamen on the city wall anymore.

Only the Red Knights can face this desperate scene.

But even some of the Red Knights couldn't control the expression of despair on their faces when faced with such a rat tide.

The believers in the outer city were even more filled with fear.

The only thing they can do is pray, praying that the Holy Spirit will come and save them.

The current scene is countless times scarier than the scene in Resident Evil where zombies besieged the White House.

Not many people can remain optimistic in such an environment.

Even Xia Yanzhen frowned.

The Wings of Light in the Holy Book of Purification have not been used to their limit, so they have not entered the cooldown period.

Can fly.

However, the rat sea has already formed, and he has no way to be sure that he can fly out before the power of the wings of light is exhausted.

At that time, you will need to wear the face of calamity fire.

Thinking of roasted rats all around him, Xia Yanzhen felt goosebumps all over his body. Even if he was wearing a prison of darkness, he could not completely block the blood in the rat tide.

"I hope the Holy City can last longer."

Xia Yanzhen shook his head and got off the city wall.

He felt very uncomfortable, not that he thought he would die in such a rat wave.

But she just dislikes being too dirty.

But in the eyes of others, he is the rising star of the church. The powerful sanctifying priest is helpless in the face of such a scene.

The atmosphere of panic spread further.

If it weren't for the patrols of the Red Knights and even the Dark Crows in the outer city, some chaos might have broken out.

In this case, some people choose to commit suicide directly.

In the teachings of the Eternal Church, there is no saying that someone who commits suicide cannot ascend to a place like heaven.

Some people committed suicide in the outer city, some prayed, and some yelled and went crazy but were suppressed by the knights.

The inner city is oppressive, as if the air has been condensed.

It was a little better when we arrived at the cathedral, where we could see the clergy moving around constantly.

Looks very busy.

In fact, they are just headless flies scurrying around.

The Knights, the burial mechanism, and the light curtain that keeps the Holy City still standing and as stable as a mountain are all ultimately controlled by the College of Cardinals.

Ordinary bishops, as well as archbishops who happen to be in the Holy City, can't do much even if they want to do something.

At this time, they just have to ensure that they don't get into chaos.

Not long after Xia Yanzhen returned to the inner city, he was called to Huolun's side.

Compared to yesterday's indifference, Huo Lun's face looked serious today.

There were no other people in the room, only Huolun and Xia Yanzhen.

"We plan to reduce the scope of the holy light." Huo Lun looked at Xia Yanzhen and said solemnly.

"Can't you hold on?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"The range is too large, and every impact of the black rat swarm is consuming the power of the Holy Light." Huo Lun said.

Xia Yanzhen didn't speak, waiting for Huolun's next words.

There shouldn't be any need to ask him for things like adjusting the scope of the Holy Light, right?

"The scope will probably be adjusted to the inner city first." Huo Lun said, "I need you to protect His Majesty the Pope."

The front is just "small talk" and the back is the focus.

"Um?"

"His Majesty the Pope is working on an extremely important matter, which will take two days to complete. Once successful, all crises will be resolved," Hollen said.

Xia Yanzhen nodded.

Huo Lun had no doubts and took Xia Yanzhen through the cathedral.

Going deep into the ground and opening a heavy stone door with a cross, Xia Yanzhen saw the Pope in the gorgeous chair and the Damon family on three crosses.

The last knight in blood armor, Lancelot no longer hid, stood beside the Pope: "Is this the consecrating priest?"

"That's right, now it's up to you two to protect the Pope." Huo Lun said.

"His Majesty the Pope will not be hurt at all until I die."

Lancelot made a knightly salute.

"Will this place be breached?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

This place should be the center of the church. If "enemies" appear here, the church will be finished.

"No, but a little mouse got in." Lancelot pointed to the corner.

Only then did Xia Yanzhen notice that the darkness was a pile of dead rats.

"It seems that there is a loophole in the Holy Light." Xia Yanzhen said.

Horan nodded.

The Holy Light's protection is all-round, including underground. Otherwise, the Holy City would have been hollowed out long ago and collapsed into ruins.

These rats didn't know they were coming in.

Coming in is already an established fact, which means danger, and the consecrated priest needs to work together to protect the Pope who has entered a critical moment at this time.

At this time, you are competing for time.

After bringing Xia Yanzhen, Huolun left in a hurry and closed the heavy stone door.

Lancelot nodded slightly towards Xia Yanzhen.

Standing with the sword in hand, silent.

The room fell silent.

There was no other place to sit in the room, and Xia Yanzhen didn't care. He sat on the floor and closed his eyes to relax.

After a moment, his black eyes suddenly opened.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

There are seven different heartbeats in the room!
