our family is gone

Chapter 750 Strange things
Because no one dared to look directly at the blood moon, no one knew when the blood moon hanging above Hamlet's head disappeared. It was not until the bloody moonlight was gone and darkness enveloped Hamlet again that people discovered this abnormality.

However, the extreme darkness did not last long and began to feel like the dimness of the early morning. Looking up, the black curtain that covered the sky and blocked out the sun was becoming thinner, and patches of faintly visible light formed by different thicknesses.

Under the strong light, the black curtain dissipated like fog, and several weak spots in it had been torn open, revealing beams of light that shone on Hamlet, who had not seen the light for a long time.

Because what the dark forces have to face is not the rising dawn, but the scorching sun!
A ray of sunshine! A golden symbol of hope, dispelling the tragic darkness.

Although most ordinary people are hiding at home, there are still many people who are busy outside maintaining basic operations. At this time, they are the first to enjoy the ecstatic feeling.

The strong emotions brought about by surviving the most desperate darkness made them unable to help but shout out.

"It's dawn!"

"Sunshine, it's sunshine!"

"The Lord has come, and the sun will appear!"

The one who was originally holding a loud speaker for promotion shouted even harder, totally ignoring the fact that his voice was making him retch due to exhaustion.

This news is irresistible to all Hamlet people. When he is the first to choose to open the door and look out, the shouting sound will drive the surrounding area.

More and more people saw the sunlight tearing through the darkness, and some even walked out of the house.

The cheers that had originally been heard sporadically in the city spread rapidly like an out-of-control flood, and soon turned into a carnival as loud as a tsunami.

"Alas!"

"Great!"

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Everyone seemed to be infected by this atmosphere and were madly venting their suppressed emotions.

…………

The extreme darkness gave birth to the blood moon, and in this process, not only humans were affected, but also countless other creatures living on this land.

Those animals were affected by the blood moon and became violent and mutated in various ways. They fought on this land and evolved at an unprecedented speed.

Under the blood moon, somewhere in the Hamlet wilderness, a strangely shaped grizzly bear was fighting with an exaggeratedly sized wild boar.

When preparing for winter, bears also need to accumulate fat for hibernation, so they have a stronger desire to hunt, which is related to whether they can safely survive the severe cold winter.

But this grizzly bear was not hunting for the winter. It looked like large patches of hair had fallen off its body, revealing its swollen and muscular muscles. There were many wounds from fighting, both old and new, but it seemed as if it didn't feel any pain.

It has a mouthful of sharp teeth and sharp claws in its hands. When standing up, it would be two or three meters tall. Its eyes are bloodshot and it looks like a madman, full of aggression.

And that wild boar was not much worse than a mad bear. Its exaggerated size far exceeded the normal level and it could be called the wild boar king.

The hair stood up like steel needles, revealing the strong muscles under the thick fat, and the fangs on the mouth were like two bloody knives.

However, there were also some signs of being affected by the blood moon, and there were also complicated wounds on his body, revealing his madness that was purely for the sake of fighting.

The wild bear slapped the wild boar with its sharp claws, stirring up the fat like waves. The claws hooked into the skin and flesh, leaving fresh wounds with fat protruding outwards.

The wild boar king was not afraid either. He made a savage charge and raised his mouth. His knife-like fangs tore through the bear's skin, revealing a wound also covered in fat.

The two sides started fighting each other again, with no rationality at all. The fight would only end when one side died.

However, at this moment, the scorching sun tore through the darkness, the blood moon was replaced by the sun, and the light fell on Hamlet again.

The two mutant beasts that were still fighting frantically suddenly seemed to come to their senses and stopped fighting. Both realized that the other was not easy to deal with, and they were unwilling to even try to test each other. They were almost frightened and ran away in two directions...

Creatures like bears have territories. It was fighting and devouring like crazy outside before, but now that it has calmed down after being seriously injured, it urgently needs to return to its cave.

I don’t know why, maybe it was because of injury or some other reason, the wild bear inexplicably wandered into a desolate place. Some man-made traces could be vaguely seen around, but what was very strange was that the wilderness did not completely swallow up this place.

Until it was stopped by the strange Stonehenge, where numerous stone slabs stood in strange specifications, carved with incomprehensible patterns and symbols. Among them there was a particularly large one, and the things carved on it were even more complex and difficult to understand.

Even a human might not be able to understand it, let alone a bear, but the injured bear was wandering around in it, as if attracted by something, and finally passed through the stone formation and disappeared in it, shaking its body.

No one knew what happened. Anyway, when the ancestor left, the power on the stone tablet became dimmer...

The wild boar also fled into the deeper wilderness. It didn't know why it appeared in such a place and fought with such an enemy.

In the survival rules of the wilderness, they are more likely to escape and preserve their strength rather than provoke powerful enemies. Compared with fighting, wild boars prefer to eat.

I don’t know how far I ran, but the wounds on my body stopped bleeding because of its powerful vitality.

They were indeed driven crazy by the influence of the blood moon, and were also strengthened by this force. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to run so far with such serious injuries, and it would be even more impossible for the wounds to stop bleeding so quickly.

If it were allowed to live a few more years, a wild boar king with extraordinary bloodline would probably awaken.

Perhaps because it had run far enough, or perhaps because it was tired, the wild boar slowly slowed down its pace and began to grunt as it tried to dig out some food to eat.

But there were too many insects in the wilderness, and soon the wound attracted many insects to suck its blood and eat its flesh, causing it unbearable pain.

After all, it is a local pig in the wilderness, so it has a way to deal with this situation. It sniffed with its nose, quickly locked onto the target and started rushing forward.

It was a swamp, and wild boars loved rolling in the mud to avoid being bitten by insects.

But this time the wild boar was a little confused. Why did a huge complex of buildings, although dilapidated, still magnificent, appear above its own quagmire?
But before it could react, an annoying buzzing sound started, followed by the wild boar's fierce screams, and then it became quiet again, leaving only the fading buzzing sound...

Although the blood moon disappeared along with the extreme darkness, the unusual movements in Hamlet's territory did not subside due to the disappearance of the ancestor. Instead, they became more intense.

The ancestor completely disappeared from this world, and some situations that were caused by him but concealed by him gradually emerged with the disappearance of the ancestor...

But now, under the sunshine, the city of Hamlet is full of vitality and everything is running again after being shut down for so many days.

Of course, it is inevitable to deal with a lot of problems that have been piling up over the past few days. Everyone is busy, but no one complains.

In any case, it is better than before, and those ordinary people who have been trapped for a few days still feel how good it is to have something to do, and everyone works together to make Hamlet recover as soon as possible. Humans are fragile, but also very tough, and they will do their best to survive as long as they have a chance.

Similar situations occurred not only in the city, but also in several surrounding places, especially the small town on the front line. Those people in it could be said to have survived hell.

Compared to the city where there are still people maintaining order, it is more difficult to manage here because most of the people here are outsiders.

Lance reduced its forces to control only some core business districts, and "managed" the rest of the areas without imposing any curfew or other measures. They were allowed to move freely, but were prohibited from leaving the town, and there were troops stationed outside.

This policy of loose inside and tight outside caused a lot of problems during the Darkness and even when the Blood Moon was approaching. Then a law enforcement team composed of heroes and bodyguards was sent in to clean up a lot of out-of-control people.

But these are adventurers who are difficult to annex and are consumables. The lord doesn't care about them at all.

Now they feel the disgust they had before, and even wonder whether the restrictive order is useful and who it is protecting.

If Hamlet hadn't maintained the supply of materials, the situation would have been even worse.

But fortunately, they finally survived. Now they don’t want those treasures anymore and just want to leave here.

"Have you heard? It turns out that the lord led his men to fight the monsters guarding the treasure deep in the ruins for three days and three nights. Now they have finally broken the seal, so the sun has come out."

"real or fake?"

"Of course, but the news leaked from the army. Didn't you see the army attacking the ruins like crazy some time ago? They must have discovered something."

"That's right, isn't that legion also..."

"Forget it. I still want to keep my life and go back to get married."

As the sun gradually sets, inexplicable rumors begin to spread amid the carnival of escaping death.

The adventurers who originally wanted to leave couldn't help but waver.

It is obvious that those rumors were spread intentionally by Lance. He really treated them like leeks and had to cut them hard. Once they came, they couldn't leave.

But this kind of thing is a matter of mutual consent, so no one should blame anyone else.

Many people are actually not very willing to do this, as the same method is like playing with a dog, but the sunk costs are here, so one cannot help but consider it.

I have survived the darkest time. If I don’t make a fortune here, then wouldn’t it be a waste of my time here?
Some people resisted the temptation and chose to leave, but there is always a shortage of greedy people...

But there is one very interesting thing, that is, the beasts in the wilderness are affected by the blood moon, becoming stronger and crazier.

So what will happen to the rats lurking in the ruins where this event originated?

When it was extremely dark or during the blood moon, there were still skeletons suppressing it, but now that the sun was out, those skeletons retreated, which meant that the rats had lost their last restraint and would surely spread.

……

Owendo, the news of Hamlet's disappearance reached Watt's ears at the first time, because ever since the accident on Hamlet's side, he has always arranged people to keep an eye on him and also arranged trustworthy people to deal with him.

He also knew the news about the Blood Moon. His heart, which had been silent, almost died, and he wanted to bring his family out again.

But no one knew what kind of medicine the lord had given them, and his family members had always disagreed, which made him anxious.

At this time, Watt climbed up to a high place and looked in the direction of Hamlet with an indescribable strange expression.

The black fog dissipated, and now it seemed that they had won.

It is hard to say whether this is old age or relief. Anyway, Walter has finally put aside his fear of Hamlet's darkness temporarily. But what follows is not the end, it can even be said to be a new beginning.

Because he was clear about the lord's arrangements, he would definitely take action once the internal affairs were resolved.

War is about to begin...

Those places close to Hamlet also felt that the situation in Hamlet had been volatile during this period. When the extreme darkness just came, some chaotic news came out, which continued to stimulate them.

But later on, there was basically no news. The same thing happened when we sent people to investigate, none of them came back.

The strange phenomena in heaven and earth and the lack of information caused those nobles who still had ambitions for Hamlet to hesitate. Perhaps they were eyewitnesses of the previous era, or perhaps they only knew about Hamlet's disaster from fragments in the books left in their family.

It is precisely because of that inheritance and accumulation that they are even more entangled. It was a place that was once the most prosperous, but it also seemed like a cursed land.

Maybe there were still many people who were greedy for Hamlet's past before, but now most of them have calmed down.

But the remnants of the Ascension Sect hidden in it were anxious. If you don't help me fight back, how can I ascend? How can I help you ascend if I don't ascend?

They could even hear the new god constantly giving revelations in their dreams, and those guys were also actively moving around in the process.

Or he could continue to lobby the nobles, saying that now is a good time, and while the darkness takes over Hamlet, it will be too late for others.

No matter if they use coercion or inducement, there is no reason to get off the cult's ship. If they don't help us attack Hamlet, we will all die together.

Those who were related to the Ascension Sect also began to take action, and some fanatics who were eager to ascend spontaneously gathered those hidden Ascension believers to prepare for a counterattack.

This brings us to the drawback of the aristocratic system, which is the inheritance system. Some people who have witnessed the catastrophe with their own eyes may still have some concerns like Watt, but some new heirs have not seen it, and the vague statements in the records have confused them even more.

They only saw that their family had swelled up by eating Hamlet's corpse. They had previously occupied the corpse and their mouths were full of oil. Now they were drooling just thinking about it.

They are ambitious and eager to achieve success, which makes them a perfect match for the cultists.

To revolt, Hamlet!
The scattered teams really began to swallow up the surrounding territories, and in the process those guys from the Ascension Sect gradually seized control of the army.

As long as they create some so-called "miracles", they can fool ordinary people. This is the power of religion.

So it’s not important for the second generation of rich people to spend money, but starting a business is really difficult.

But when they were halfway there, daybreak came...
