The red moon returns

Chapter 444 The Fifth Day

When the clock struck midnight, everything returned to normal.

As if nothing had happened.

Time passed by, but the expected outbreak of the plague never came.

Did it succeed? The evil god's vessel failed to replenish itself, the conditions for awakening the evil god were not met, and the other party stopped offering sacrifices?

Or has it actually failed, but the outbreak time has not yet arrived, and large-scale infection will occur soon?

The second shoe never dropped, which kept the five people anxious. Instead, they actually hoped that the plague would break out soon so that they wouldn't have to worry so much.

Of course, it's just a thought. No news is the best news. Even if a plague breaks out in the next moment, at least everyone is safe at this moment. One minute later may mean one more person can be rescued.

Time was not to be wasted. Doctor Sven had returned to his post and continued to prepare and distribute medicines without sleep. The hateful and pitiful city lord finally died. The four of them no longer needed to stay in the ward, so they followed him. Even if they could not help professionally, they could at least help out and do their part.

More and more people took the medicine, but the plague never broke out. As time passed, a hint of white appeared on the horizon.

No matter how dark the night is, when the long night passes, the dawn will come as usual.

It's almost dawn.

Several people stopped what they were doing, with joy and confusion in their eyes.

Since there has been no outbreak yet, does it really mean that the crisis is over?
Several people looked at each other and smiled.

We are only one step away from victory.

Now everything is going backwards, the distribution of medicines is going according to plan, and by this evening at the latest, everyone will be able to temporarily escape the plague. By then, even if the other party wants to cause the plague to break out, it will be too late. Theoretically, after the last person is distributed, the suppression conditions will be met, and the four people can go home smoothly.

Light and hope are just around the corner, but before that, there is one more important thing to do.

The human-faced fruit is the fundamental purpose of the four people's trip.

So, at around seven in the morning, the four of them ruthlessly left Dr. Swen, who was so tired that his eyes were dark, and took a walk around the city.

As expected, the five remaining Lynches in the city had grown, but they were all crazy, which further proved the four's previous speculation.

The problem was that seeing more than a dozen of his own heads surrounding him and biting him, Lynch felt very tired. He quickly threw them all into Miss Diana's storage space, and quickly rushed to the woods outside the city amid the ladies' laughter.

Fully armed and cautious.

There are no soldiers patrolling outside the city day and night. Maybe something is hidden at this time, whether it is old Sven, the Republic troops, or even other zombies. In the mysterious world, there are too many examples of falling at the last moment before victory. As experienced mystery hunters, the four do not want to add to this.

The place where the explosion occurred was basically unchanged, except that the smoke had long since dissipated, and a few small animals were running back and forth on the scorched earth. Death and life had once again reached unity.

The woods were quiet. The four of them took a quick look around and found no newly dug holes or any suspicious creatures.

But the four still did not dare to relax and remained vigilant at all times, and quickly found the location of the last five human-faced fruits.

Without even taking a closer look, three people kept on guard while one took action. They did this five times in a row and dug out all five bushes with their roots and packed them up and took them away.

The four hurried back to the city faster than when they came. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they sneaked back to the temporary base in the fortress with the dangerous items.

We are safe, for now.

Finally, the moment came for the results to be revealed. The four people were nervous and expectant. Miss Diana suppressed her violent heartbeat and threw all five bushes in front of them with slightly trembling hands.

"Shhh."

Lynch picked up one with his own hands, pushed aside the lush branches and leaves outside, revealing the human heads hanging on the branches inside.

How ugly! Why is it me again? I want to see how they look when they are hung. Then Lynch was hit by several punches. It seemed that everyone was involved, even a fool secretly participated.

But Lynch was still very generous. He didn't bother with these silly women and looked at the last hope.

Five! This is a normal number, and the fruits are full and the face is handsome, which is an unprecedented phenomenon.

good sign.

Lin Qi's eyes lit up, he licked his lips and held his breath, carefully pinched a fruit and pulled it hard...

"Ouch~~"

Shit, forgot about that.

That day, everyone remembered the fright they had experienced from the howling.

It was not obvious in the wild, but it was obvious indoors. The screams of this thing were very penetrating, and scared the people who had been queuing up outside all night to get medicine. Doctor Swen had just prepared a batch of medicine and was about to take a break to relieve his overdrawn mental energy, but he was startled by the screams and rushed over in a hurry.

Then, you see four idiots standing in a circle, smiling as if they were missing brain stems, and poking a head among them with their hands.

The person's features are vivid and his skin is healthy, and you can tell at first glance that he has a good head.

The key is not to bite.

"It seems that your mission is accomplished. Finally... Congratulations to you."

Seeing the excitement on the four people's faces amidst their fatigue, Dr. Swen couldn't help but be infected and smiled knowingly. She had always kept in mind the hard work and persistence of the four people, and now they were finally enjoying the joy of harvest. This moved Dr. Swen very much, and then she kicked them all out.

You outsiders are picking human-faced fruits in a closed environment. Have your brains been infected, or have they been hollowed out by the infected? Get out now.

So, on the bloody training ground before, continuous screams were heard again. For a moment, both the citizens in line and the soldiers at work looked pale, and strange legends were bound to spread in the city.

But the harvest was still good.

Lynch has eight heads, Diana and Judy have four heads, and Natalie has only two heads. Hahaha, she is worthy of being a stone body...Ah!

Laughter and screams came out almost at the same time. Lynch held his stepped toe and shed tears sadly, but the joy in his heart at this moment could be felt by everyone.

After five days of hard work, I finally got this thing.

Although those who have already fallen ill in the Fifth Age may not be able to receive help, at least those victims who have been bitten can receive treatment.

This can also minimize the impact of previous behavior and let Lynch feel relieved.

"How about giving me four? One for each of us." Doctor Sven smiled thoughtfully. "You have helped us so much. I told you before that I would give you a gift. It just so happens that I have accumulated a lot of materials in the past fifteen years. This should be enough."

The four of them then remembered the female doctor's previous promise. Lin Qi thought that since there were so many fruits, he agreed. However, he asked, "What is it?"

"It's just a small toy. I happened to be tired from making medicine and wanted to take a break. I might as well make it now."

With that, the female doctor took away the heads of the four people with a smile. After waiting anxiously for nearly an hour, Dr. Swen returned to the room.

In his hands were four small palm-sized voodoo dolls that looked exactly like the four people.

It’s a bit weird, but what isn’t weird in this era?
Everyone looked at each other and took the doll: "What is this?"

"hey-hey."
