Chapter 239 Kill Him!

"I will be treated..." the man said, holding on to his neck.

"Pay attention to the time." Xia Yanzhen didn't rush.

The man gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly to run, but Xia Yanzhen kicked him in the calf and fell to the ground. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.

"Now, it will take you more time to escape from here." Xia Yan took his time.

"I said, I said, you must let me go later!" The man compromised.

"Tell me." Xia Yanzhen smiled brightly.

Despite his identity as the son of a blacksmith, he looked so dazzling.

But the blacksmith's son... well, in this medieval age, the blacksmith's son was actually not a bad identity.

But the dead bodies in the outbreak area are different.

The guard used the fastest and most concise words in his life to tell Xia Yanzhen everything about the Black Death and the church.

The church has no additional name, it is just the church.

The red cross is a church symbol.

There are nuns, priests, bishops, and now non-staff personnel such as doctors in the medical team and guards in the guard team.

The church does have the means to treat the Black Death, but not everyone can be treated.

Only those with money and status who contracted the Black Death were eligible for treatment.

Everyone else can only wait to die.

The Black Death was an extremely terrible disease.

After contracting the Black Death, within a day or two, you will become very weak, your face will be pale, your eyes will be red and bleeding, you will vomit blood, and a large number of black and red patches will appear on your body.

No one could survive more than three days without the healing of the Church.

What is even more terrifying than the original Black Death in the real world is that when people who suffer from the Black Death die, their corpses will be resurrected and active.

Become a more terrifying source of infection.

This is where the name "dead body" comes from.

It is not easy to deal with the real dead body.

However, dying from the Black Death and turning into a dead body is the same as dying from the Black Death. There is a "buffer" time of about three days.

So the dead body didn't cause any big trouble - probably.

As long as the dead are transported out in time and burned, everything will be fine.

Near the other "exit" of this outbreak area, there is a burning area used to burn the people who died in the outbreak area.

Those responsible for entering the outbreak area and transporting the corpses are called corpse transporters.

Part of the guard's job is to keep an eye on these corpse carriers to prevent them from being lazy and causing dead bodies to appear.

The guards, corpse transporters, etc. will also have certain benefits.

In the unlikely event that one of them got the Black Death, it could be treated if a doctor from the medical team was willing.

But if Doctor Bird's Beak is not there, or Doctor Bird's Beak is unwilling or has no time, he can only wait to die.

Many people volunteered to become guards or even corpse carriers, just to seek a chance of survival for themselves or their families.

Fortunately for the corpse carrier, it is very dangerous to enter the outbreak area.

In most cases, the Guards do not need to enter, and many people really struggle to become a member of the Guards.

Becoming a guard is not easy.

The man was the relatively wealthy member of the family and almost spent all his money to get a position in the guard team.

With his job as a guard, he could make money and have a chance of survival if his family or himself got the Black Death.

There is a unified theory that the origin of the Black Death was a disaster sent by demons.

Only the church can save the world.

No one suspects the increasing number of rats appearing everywhere.

Xia Yanzhen was suspicious of the mouse, but this was a mission world, maybe it was really a disaster caused by the devil?

There is also some information outside the church.

This city, called Nayasi Port, is a fairly prosperous port city.

Invaded by the Black Death, a total of two outbreak areas were sealed off, barely within acceptable limits.

The lord of Nayasi is not in the city, hiding in his manor, isolated from the outside world.

Today Nayasi is completely controlled by the church.

Sol Church became the center of Nayasi, and Father Rod was the master of Nayasi.

The church's medical team just left Nayasi two days ago, so there is currently no medical team in Nayasi.

This is also the reason why men are frightened.

The medical team would be away for at least five or six days, and if he really got the Black Death, it would be all over.

"Okay, you can go." After Xia Yanzhen listened to all the information, he waved his hand to indicate that the man could leave.

The man rolled away and crawled away without even looking back.

The blockade of the outbreak area cannot be very tight. After the man, Xia Yanzhen also left the place quietly.

The Black Death broke out in Nayasi, and although it was under control, it inevitably became depressed.

Father Rhodes sent people to control the port and the city gate, making it difficult to leave here.

If not, Nayasi is expected to be even more depressed than he is now.

But it's not enough that people inside can't go out casually. The big problem is that people outside don't want to come here.

As a port city, how could it not be depressed?

After leaving the outbreak area, Xia Yanzhen didn't encounter many pedestrians.

The lifeless and dirty medieval city exudes a bad smell.

There was sewage flowing across the streets, and the rats ran by openly, not even afraid of people.

For ordinary dream apostles.

Their mission is to survive the Black Death for thirty days.

With the strength of the Dream Apostle, he would not die suddenly in three or four days like ordinary people, but it is probably impossible to persist for thirty days.

Then, dealing with the church is the only option to complete the mission and survive.

The church has the ability to cure or contain the Black Death, which is the hope of ordinary dream apostles.

As for what the relationship with the church will be like, it depends on the choices of the Dream Apostles.

Anyway, the church is an unavoidable hurdle in completing the mission.

Xia Yan really felt that he did not have the Black Death, but he was not 100% sure, so he naturally wanted to go to the church to have a look.

Sol Church is easy to find. The Gothic building with its spire is solemn and majestic. It is high up and brings a great sense of oppression.

If you go to a slightly higher position and look up, you can see the church spire.

Just go that way.

Xia Yanzhen came to the vicinity of Sol Church, and there were more people around.

Outside the church, a large number of people gathered. They looked sad and disheveled, but their expressions were very pious. They knelt on the clean and flat open space outside the church and prayed.

Outside the church gate, there was a queue of people.

People in line put their money into a black wooden box on the table.

The man dressed as a priest next to the wooden box solemnly handed a piece of paper to the person who sent the money.

"This seems to be an atonement." Xia Yanzhen remembered what the man in the guard said.

The church is currently giving out indulgences.

People spent money to buy indulgences to prove their piety, and they would be protected by the church.

It was possible to defend against the Black Death.

In addition, after having indulgences, you are eligible to enter the church.

The church is a sacred place. If you can enter it once, the probability of getting the Black Death will decrease.

A standard empty-handed white wolf.

As for exchanging indulgences for healing from the Church - that's not possible.

Only powerful people are likely to be taught healing.

For ordinary people, the only way to get treatment from the church is to become a corpse carrier or guard.

There are many people outside the church.

Xia Yanzhen came to the periphery without attracting much attention.

Not long after, a group of guards hurried over and whispered a few words to the priest outside.

The priest's expression changed and he immediately walked into the church.

After a while, a man dressed as a priest but with a more dignified appearance came out and said something sternly to the guards.

The guards followed the orders and left.

If I am correct, the one who came out later was Father Rhodes.

Xia Yanzhen began to walk past the people kneeling on the ground praying towards the church door.

A group of people were kneeling, and Xia Yanzhen walked over standing, standing out from the crowd.

Father Rhodes noticed Xia Yanzhen and frowned.

Although he was wearing clothes that fit the era, Xia Yan's appearance and temperament were incompatible with those around him and was very eye-catching.

Clean and cool, it is definitely not something that ordinary people in the Middle Ages could have.

Even many lords and superiors looked like weaklings compared to Xia Yanzhen.

"Go and ask. If he wants to come, let him come into the church." Father Rhodes ordered, turned around and walked into the church.

Such a person would definitely not be just passing by if he appeared here.

The priest walked over and stopped Xia Yanzhen: "Your Excellency is..." He used the honorific title unconsciously.

His posture was quite humble, completely different from the arrogance he had shown when he faced those donors just now.

"I'm here to see Father Rhodes. Can you let me in?" Xia Yanzhen said.

"Please." The unknown priest moved out of the way.

Xia Yanzhen walked into the church amidst the doubtful and envious eyes of many people.

The door slowly closed, cutting off their sight.

The blacksmith's home was in the center of the outbreak area, and everyone who knew Summer Munster's identity died cleanly.

Naturally, others would not know that Xia Yan was really a "dead body" coming out of the outbreak area.

There were a few people in the guard team who could recognize him, but they are not here now.

Xia Yanzhen entered the church.

The interior of the church is very tall, spacious, and magnificent. There is a large cross on the other side opposite the door.

But no one was nailed up there.

Father Rhodes stood under the cross and looked at Xia Yanzhen. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed: "Kill him!"

Two men immediately stepped out from the shadows behind the church pillars.

They covered the lower half of their faces with black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Parts of their black clothes were covered with light dark armor.

There is a red cross symbol on the armor.

Holding a dagger and... a lantern?

They were the unknown burial organs of the Church, which formerly buried heretics and enemies of the Church.

Now there are more real dead bodies among the buried objects.

The two men hung lanterns on their waists and rushed towards Xia Yanzhen at extremely fast speeds.

Then he flew back at a faster speed and hit the pillar where he was hiding just now.

After falling on the ground, I couldn't get up at all.

"You take action whenever you disagree. Father Rhodes has a bad temper." Xia Yanzhen walked towards the priest and said.

"Dead body! Dissipate!"

Father Rod held the church's Bible in his hand, holding it high and shouting.

The light in the church suddenly changed with his voice, forming a beam and falling on Xia Yanzhen.
