Chapter 478: Purgatory on Earth, a Solo Dance of Blood

Linjiang, Zouhucheng;

Gao Ming held a black porcelain bowl in his arms, looked around, and then walked carefully into a low alley.

It had rained heavily last night, and the bumpy ground was full of mud. The alley was narrow, and a stinking ditch on the left side emitted a disgusting stench.

Gao Ming looked down and saw a boy about seven or eight years old lying in the sewage.

He stared up at the sky with a dull look. Several wild dogs were lying on the ground, tearing at his flesh. Half of his ribs were exposed from his torn abdominal cavity. Several scavenger birds were hovering in the dusty sky filled with dark clouds.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The sound of stepping in the puddles woke up the wild dogs that were eating.

The wild dog was so skinny that its ribs were clearly visible under its dirty hair, but its blood-red eyes were extremely ferocious and its yellowed teeth were stained with blood.

Gao Ming was startled and took a step back.

He pressed his back against the cold and damp earth wall, carefully protecting the talisman water he had asked for in his arms.

Fortunately, the wild dogs' attention was completely attracted by the boy's body.

Hold your breath and keep moving forward.

The further you go into the alley, the dimmer the light becomes.

As the plague spread in the city, white silk was hung at the door of every household. The few houses that were silent did not mean that there were no dead people, but... When Gao Ming passed by the door of those houses, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he heard the sound of flesh being torn apart from inside the house, which was no different from the sound of wild dogs biting corpses just now, but the doors and windows outside were still intact.

He felt a chill in his heart and didn't dare to think any further. He subconsciously quickened his pace.

Stopping in front of a house with blackened walls, Gao Ming knocked on the door carefully three times. After a brief pause, he knocked three times again.

Wait for a while.

There were slight footsteps coming from inside the house, followed by a crisp clicking sound.

The door lock was opened, and a dirty girl appeared in front of Gao Ming, looking at him with wide eyes and head tilted up.

The girl looked to be about seven or eight years old. Due to long-term malnutrition, her head was big and her body was small. Her eyes were dull, making her look not very smart.

This girl is Gao Ming's sister, whose given name is Yuan.

Seeing that his sister was safe and sound, Gao Ming reached out and touched the girl's messy hair. He breathed a sigh of relief, and after closing the door outside, he asked, "Did you encounter any problems at home? How is Mom now?"

"Hiss..."

Gao Yuan tilted his head back and made snake-like movements with his arms.

Maybe it’s because of malnutrition or some other reason, Gao Yuan still can’t speak well.

She could only use some gestures and sounds to express her feelings. Gao Ming could understand her sometimes, but most of the time he was confused and had no idea what she was saying. However, he didn't want to get any useful information from his sister, he just wanted to say a few words to her, so that she would be happy and not seem so stupid.

"Are you saying that a snake got into the house?" Gao Ming's heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly became heavier again. He lowered his head carefully to take a look.

There was no sign of a snake.

There were two beds on the left and right sides of the small room, separated by a curtain.

On the bed on the left lay a depressed woman, covered with a patched quilt.

"I went to the square in the inner city and asked the Taoist priest for a bowl of magic water. They said that drinking it would cure all diseases. Mom, that Taoist priest is really capable. I didn't believe it when I heard others say it before, but until I saw it with my own eyes, the Taoist priest turned the broken porcelain bowl back into shape right in front of me. He must be a god who has descended to earth. As long as you drink his medicine, you will definitely get better!"

Gao Ming kept talking, and when he mentioned what happened in the square, his voice couldn't help but become a little higher with a little excitement.

Lift the quilt off your mother and turn her body over.

"hiss--"

Gao Ming was startled and some of the talisman water in the bowl spilled out.

When he saw his mother's face, Gao Ming finally understood what his sister meant by the snake.

In front of him was a woman with thin cheeks and dark skin. Her arms were as thin as dry wood, her eyes were deeply sunken in her eye sockets, her lips were purple and black, and she smelled like an old man. Her slightly furrowed brows were filled with pain that could not be dispersed. She was almost not breathing, but there were some strange lines on her cheeks that looked like snake scales.

These lines spread downwards, to the chin, neck, and then to the shriveled chest...

Gao Ming's pupils kept trembling.

He reached out and touched them, and found that they were more than just lines.

He could even feel its icy temperature and its smooth touch like a snake.

There is no doubt that the mother is turning into a monster. Perhaps realizing this does not mean that one can accept it. Gao Yuan was standing next to Gao Ming, tilting his head, biting his fingers, looking dazed. Gao Ming panted violently, reached out and gently pushed his sister, and Gao Yuan obediently moved aside.

"Luckily I found the talisman water, otherwise..." Gao Ming picked up the spoon, his heart pounding.

Is talisman water really useful?
That old Taoist priest has such means, so what he gives must be useful!

While forcing himself to comfort himself, he fed the talisman water to his mother who was lying on the hospital bed.

It was strange that my mother was so weak that she had stopped breathing, but when Gao Ming put the spoon full of magic water to her lips, she opened her eyes and burst out with amazing strength. The bed creaked, and my sister behind me hissed again. My mother's pupils were golden, with snake-like vertical pupils, carrying the greed and desire of a bloodthirsty beast.

"hiss……"

She opened her mouth and licked the magic water in the spoon with her long tongue.

But this was not enough, she immediately turned her head and looked at Gao Ming. She stretched out her hand to grab it, and this barbaric and greedy gesture scared Gao Ming. He felt a huge force rushing at him, and before he could react, the porcelain bowl had been taken away by his mother.

A "gulp gulp" sound was heard, and the whole bowl of talisman water was drunk up by the mother in just a few gulps.

Snapped!
Her skinny wrist shook and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

In the dead silence, Gao Ming suddenly sensed a dangerous atmosphere from his mother. He stood up from the bed, slowly backed away, and took hold of his sister's arm.

"Mom!" Gao Ming's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his heart was pounding in his chest. "Do you feel better now, Mom?"

"Ah!" He was responded with a roar of pain.

The mother covered her head with her hands, her eyes almost torn open.

A strong light burst out from it, and it seemed like something was wriggling under the thin blanket.

"Gudong!" Gao Ming was shivering all over. Only then did he see that what was under the quilt was no longer a pair of human legs, but a long and thick snake tail.

"very hungry!"

At this time, the mother screamed and her jaw opened like a snake.

It's filled with sharp teeth, and its mouth is large enough to swallow a baby whole.

She no longer had any of the rationality she had as a human being, and she just looked at the brother and sister in front of her greedily.

The shriveled belly crawled along the dark and damp ground. A rustling sound could be heard, mixed with the vibration of the ground. Dust fell from the roof. Gao Ming was almost going crazy. He couldn't figure out why this was happening.

It was clearly a magical water that could cure illnesses and save lives, but why did my mother turn into a monster after drinking it! ?
There was no time to think, just like a hungry python swallowing a white rabbit.

There was none of the tenderness in the mother's eyes. As she swung her tail heavily on the ground, her body shot out like an arrow.

boom!
Gao Ming hugged his sister and subconsciously dodged downwards.

I felt a chill on my scalp, and my mother almost flew out over the top of their heads.

Although Gao Ming dodged the attack at the critical moment of life and death, he did not feel the slightest bit of relief, but instead was filled with despair. Because his mother was right at the door, they were now trapped in a narrow room, like a turtle in a jar, with no way to escape and nowhere to hide.

"Mom, mom, I'm Gao Ming, wake up!" Gao Ming cried, and reached out to take the rolling pin next to him, protecting his sister behind him.
Unfortunately, it is completely useless, and the alienated mother has lost all reason.

"I'm so hungry!" she repeated monotonously, with a deformed and twisted smile on her face. She spread her black fingers and pounced on the brother and sister again.

Gao Ming closed his eyes, swung the rolling pin in his hand and smashed it down hard.

boom!
His eyes darkened.

Some kind of huge force surged up from under my feet, and the vibration I felt just now became even stronger.

The house collapsed, the monster roared, blood gushed out, and I heard my sister's whispered call from behind, "Pig, Pig!"

Gao Ming's hands and feet went limp and tears flowed uncontrollably.

He is still alive!

I opened my eyes, and my vision gradually became blurry.

Only then did he realize that half of the house had collapsed, with the beam stuck right in front of him.

A huge hole that seemed to lead to the abyss was torn open under her feet, and a spider as big as a bull and covered with sharp hair crawled out from it and fought with her mother. The spider's sharp legs like spears pierced into her mother's chest, while the mad mother used her bloody mouthparts to tear the monster's flesh and whipped the monster's relatively weak abdomen with her hard long tail.

The two monsters fought each other, and with a loud rumbling sound, they flattened all the surrounding houses, and dark red blood was scattered on the ground.

"God is above." Gao Ming's eyes were dull. In just a few short minutes, the entire city seemed to have fallen into purgatory.

Dragons were hovering in the overcast sky, and fire and venom were falling from the sky. In the distance, there were giant insects as tall as mountains, so majestic that words could not describe them. The earth was shaking under their feet, and whole blocks were razed to the ground.

The warrior masters who were once high and mighty were terrified and wanted to escape in despair.

But on the way, he was caught in mid-air by those flying insects, and his body was pierced by sharp teeth and mantis blades. With a little force, only large amounts of blood and internal organs fell from the air.

Gao Ming had once seen the scenes of hell depicted by monks in the murals of temples, with mountains of knives, seas of fire, and skinning and pulling out tendons.

But even if the monks used their imagination to the utmost, the pictures they depicted would definitely not be one-tenth of what Gao Ming saw with his own eyes at this moment.

Stab it!

The two monsters in the distance have already decided the winner.

The mother pierced the spider's brain stem with her snake's tail, and her body was cut in half.

But even so, she was still alive, crawling greedily on the ground, leaving a long trail of blood behind her.

All kinds of twisted internal organs and intestines were stretched out far away, coupled with the hideous and greedy smile on the woman's face. The picture was like a nightmare.

"We have to get out of here quickly!"

Gao Ming covered his sister's eyes, carried her on his shoulders, and ran out of the city.

From time to time, large balls of fire fell from the sky, causing explosions, or the ground beneath their feet bulged, or a monster transformed from a human suddenly jumped out of a house.

This is a battlefield between monsters and monsters, a bloody meat grinder.

Gao Ming's heart was beating very fast.

He lived in the outer city, which was the worst area in the city. There were gangs, demons that sometimes sneaked into the city, and a bad living environment. But now it became a good thing, it was very close to the city wall. If he wanted to leave the county city, he only needed to cross a few blocks. He knew a hidden dog hole on the city wall, which was not far from here.

Under the towering city wall, in a dog hole filled with the smell of urine.

He sent his sister over first, and then Gao Ming crawled through the winding path with his shoulders hunched.

Even though he was thin and small, it was difficult, and he felt breathless several times. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. When Gao Ming crawled out of the dog hole and left, he saw the light outside the city wall, and suddenly felt relieved and reborn. But he soon stopped laughing, because in the wilderness outside the city wall was a bigger battlefield.

The mutated creatures like a tide and the remaining warriors were all rushing towards one direction like crazy.

They were like black waves, carrying despair and a desire for self-destruction, and then they crashed into the reef. The reef turned out to be a girl who looked the same age. She had fair skin, a black dress, blood-red hair, and a hint of crimson on her eyelids.

She was holding a strange weapon in her hand, which looked like a huge sickle, but there was also an exaggerated sickle blade at the end of the handle.

Spinning, cutting, sometimes leaping high and falling lightly, it looked like dancing alone on the seashore full of fireflies, but every time the blade was swung, it was inevitably accompanied by a downpour of blood. Gao Ming opened his mouth wide, stunned by the bloody scene and the girl's amazing beauty, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Just then, he heard a light shout in his ear, "Squat down!"
