Human Restart [Whistle]

After changing the supplies, Father Luke drove back to John's Church from Macy's.This time, there were nearly a hundred citizens standing at the door and waiting.They constantly scratched the red spots on their faces and arms, coughed constantly, and yellow-green mucus splattered along the windpipe.

A new round of super flu relapsed and once again swept through Crispy Berry City.

This time it was stronger and menacing.

In one night and one day, more than a dozen residents on Jasmine Street died, and dozens of residents became seriously ill.

Jasmine Street was the key target in Father Luke's plan last night. He claimed that the evil forces felt on Jasmine Street were particularly strong.His reasoning was that when he was preaching that day, Jasmine Street had the largest number of people throwing stones and rubbish at him.

Demons always loathe the existence of light.

According to Father Luke, the residents of Jasmine Street have been confused by the devil's lackeys, wizards and witches. They should be the focus of their rescue.

Many believed his words, because the holy water that spewed out seemed to have played a great role.So more people flocked to John's Church, begged for holy water from the priest, and apologized for their rudeness and disbelief yesterday.

Father Luke naturally and generously forgave everyone, and took the opportunity to publicize the view that the sentry guides are all demons, wizards and witches.

"We must sacrifice their blood to the priest before we can be saved." Then he said: "There are no quantum beasts at all. They are whispering to demons that we cannot see."

A woman in the crowd covered her face and began to cry "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomy supplies, but the sentinel who distributed the supplies only gave him a few rotten apples as a pass... My husband was so angry that he wanted to argue with him, but he was beaten up viciously!"

Although the "Alliance" has been distributing supplies every day since the day before yesterday, the amount of food distributed to ordinary people every day is pitifully small.

"Those sentinel guides received more than ten times as much food as us! The food that normal people should receive!"

The woman's words aroused everyone's echo and sympathy, and then another girl, a slim and plump girl, cried and said, "They...they asked me to exchange my body for more food!"

"Shameless bastard!"

"Demon! Demon!"

Angry scolding and accusations resounded in John's church, and trivial things such as the sentinel's neighbor's dog shitting on his lawn, and the leader's guide putting on small shoes for him all became evidence of conviction.From this moment on, people's negative emotions reached their peak, and the sentinel guides also confirmed the name of "devil" at this moment. Many people began to believe what Father Luke said, that it was God who would send down the punishment from heaven. To cleanse the sins of the earth, only the blood sacrifice of those sentinels and guides can calm the wrath of God.

"What should we do? Father." Someone cried and asked, "We can't beat those sentinel guides at all!"

Father Luke said: "No, 'you' can't beat them, but 'we' can't."

They walked out of John's Church together, staring at the desolate and desolate streets, which used to be bustling with people coming and going.Until the disaster strikes, the virus breaks out, the city is chaotic, and human life and traces are erased.But what Father Luke saw was not the sorrow after the disaster, but a kind of hope, a morbid hope.

He seemed to see his own little kingdom sprouting in this city.

Father Luke became more and more energetic, and his "preaching" became very provocative, "Brothers and sisters, please listen to me, if one of you captures a guide, yes, you heard it right It's a guide..."

The physique of most guides is similar to that of ordinary people, not as strong as sentinels.Father Luke said that as long as a guide is captured, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive, of course it will be better to be alive...

"Everyone who participated in the arrest can get a bottle of holy water!"

The group of citizens with red envelopes and runny noses stared wide-eyed, strangely, fanatical colors shot out of their pupils.The fear of death destroys human nature, like a fuse, it stimulates the negative emotions and contradictions that have been accumulated for a long time in the hearts of everyone.

It was as if they had fallen into a deep well, and Father Luke, who was standing by the well, dropped the rope to save him.

"What are you waiting for? My brothers and sisters."

Liz happily returned home with the supplies, opened the door, but the room was quiet, not even a cough.

A bad premonition flashed in her heart, like a dark cloud suddenly appeared, covering the clear sky.At the same time, Lise caught a "buzzing" sound coming from the bedroom.

"Jack?"

She put down the supplies in her hand and walked slowly towards the room, "Are you okay Jack?"

The door was locked and there was no sign of being pried open. The windows were also in good condition, with newspapers and tape on them, no different from before I went out.

"Jack?"

Liz pushed open the door, but felt like she had opened Pandora's box, a sour smell accompanied by "buzzing" mosquitoes and flies came to her face.Jack was lying on the bed, his bare arms and face covered in tiny red measles-like spots.He was breathing feebly, and copious amounts of yellow-green mucus flowed from under his eyelids, from his ears, and from his nostrils.

Jack's breathing was extremely difficult, and the rise and fall of his chest was barely visible.

His condition worsened.

Liz's mind went blank as a scream escaped her throat, "No! No!"

She rushed to Jack's side, wiped the mucus from his nose and mouth with her sleeve, and poured the aspirin in her pocket into Jack's mouth, "Eat! Eat quickly! Brother!"

Under her rough action, Jack opened his eyes weakly. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but what came out of his mouth was not a voice, but an extremely fat cockroach!

Liz let out a short scream, and the frightened cockroach immediately crawled away in a panic.Jack let out an earth-shattering choking sound.

"Oh my god! Jack!" Liz came back to her senses, supported Jack with her petite body, and walked out with difficulty, "Please hold on! I'll take you to the doctor right now..."

Upstairs to them, Xiao Li, Yu Fei and Xiao Jian were sitting on the sofa watching the news. The city outside Crispberry City was in chaos, and the super flu eventually caused a nationwide outbreak.Many people have speculated whether the so-called super flu was leaked from a "bacterial weapon" developed by the government.

Under the pressure of public opinion, the presidential palace had to send a spokesperson to solemnly declare that since 1975, after the country signed the "Biological and Chemical Weapons Convention" (BWC), it has never participated in the production of any bacterial weapons and has always kept its promise .

Xiao Li heard a shrill female scream, and he and the mouse straightened up at the same time, showing a puzzled expression: "I heard someone screaming?"

Little Jane looked confused, while Yu Fei said, "Could it be the scream of a wild cat?"

Xiao Li frowned, got up and walked to the window.The scenery outside the window is so deserted, and there is still a severed leather belt hanging on the giant tree not far away.Just last night, a seriously ill man with a rash on his face ended himself here, and his stiff corpse was like a pendulum clock, swinging non-stop.In the end, Yu Fei and Xiao Li, wearing the isolation mask provided by Jane, approached the corpse and rescued it from the tree.

"We'd better burn him." Little Jane suggested at the time, "Otherwise other animals will eat his body and spread more viruses..."

They had no choice but to drag it to a farther open space and set fire to the strange man's body.

But now, a small man was dragging another large man down the quiet street.Yu Fei stood behind Xiao Li, and said with no surprise: "Look, another one died, I hope I don't hang around this time."

"I think they look a little familiar..." Xiao Li said looking at the backs of the two leaving outside the window, he thought for a while, and then had a flash of inspiration, "Lise and Jack?"

Yu Fei didn't care, "Probably, the news is over! Baby, it's time for my favorite TV series...Hey! Little liar! Don't hide the remote control in your chest!"

"Wait!" Xiao Li stopped Yufei, and a group of people came from the other side of the street, holding guns, shovels or iron forks for digging.Everyone has Halloween-specific masks on their faces, such as pumpkins, grimaces, and crow masks...Combined with their solemn atmosphere, this makes the whole team look like ghosts coming out of another world. Absurd and scary.

The "old acquaintance" Father Luke stood at the front of the line, wearing a snow-white robe embroidered with gold patterns and a crown on his head.He recognized Liz, his old neighbor, at a glance.Hatred and anger well up.Father Luke raised the cane of the cross in his hand, and immediately let out a roar: "Witch! Capture the witch in front alive!"

Liz turned her head in a daze. Someone pointed a pistol at her knee and fired a bullet. There was a clear "bang" shot, and the aim was wrong. It hit the ground at her feet, and white spots appeared. Smoke, followed by another "bang".

"Witch!"

The gunshot sounded like an order, and the man holding the shovel roared to catch up with Liz.Liz subconsciously ran with Jack on her back.Although she didn't understand at all why this group of people called themselves witches and why they wanted to kill themselves.

After all, when the city is out of control, all crimes lose their justification.

But when she ran to the intersection, a car flew out from the street on the left with a "squeak" and blocked her right in front of her.

Liz's eyes lit up and she shouted, "Help!"

But when the window is rolled down, hope turns to despair.A dark pistol was aimed at her, and the crow mask sitting in the car said in a cold and hoarse voice: "Witch."

Liz stopped in her tracks, and then a bullet pierced her knee.With a cry of pain, she dropped to one knee, and Jack rolled off his back.His chin rubbed against the floor viciously, his skin was scratched, and blood oozes out, but he is still in a coma, and the mucus from his nose and mouth has already covered the lower half of his face.

Her quantum beast kitten bared its teeth helplessly and angrily at its feet, and its fine hair exploded, trying to deter the irrational citizens.

Standing on the fourth floor and witnessing everything, Xiao Li's eyes widened. He stretched out his hand to open the window, but Yu Fei on the side quickly covered him, pulled him aside, and used the curtain to cover his figure.

"Shh." Yu Fei looked solemn, and tightly hugged Xiao Li's thin waist, "Don't be impulsive."

Jack fell off Lise's back and was dragged aside by the crow masks.Liz screamed like a mother beast after her cubs were plundered: "No! Jack! Jack!"

Father Luke said, "This young man is about to be murdered by this witch, holy water!"

The loyal disciple wearing a crow mask immediately poured holy water on Jack, and more yellow-green mucus overflowed from his mouth. Jack coughed violently, and his breath became weaker.Lisi struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the state where her arms were stretched upwards and was firmly restrained by someone, but there were so many people on the other side.

Xiao Li grasped Yufei's hand tightly covering his mouth, and Yufei's fiery breath hit the tip of his ear, and the two leaned together in an extremely ambiguous and charming posture, but the atmosphere was unprecedentedly serious.

"Jack! Brother! What are you doing?!" Liz was terrified. Her Quantum Beast kitten shuttled through the crowd, scratching the pant legs of everyone, but it couldn't do any damage.

"Blindfold her!" Father Luke ordered, and then forced Liz's head down again, revealing the sentry totem on the back of her neck.

"Now you all have your eyes wide open and remember clearly! This is the mark that Satan will imprint after signing the contract with the witch! All the evil power he bestowed on the witches is stored here! It makes them feel no pain..." Luke The priest covered Lise's mouth tightly while speaking, took the dagger prepared in the hands of the most trusted follower, and slashed hard along the fair skin of the back of her neck!

Bright red blood popped out all of a sudden, Liz rolled her eyes in pain, her screams turned into muffled groans, Father Luke was unmoved, and forcibly tore off the skin on the back of her neck that was pierced with the sentry totem.

Liz rolled her eyes in pain, struggling violently with her limbs.

The people around let out an unbearable exclamation.

Father Luke yelled: "Don't believe her groans! Witches don't hurt at all! Lying is their best trick! We must blindfold her to avoid being bewitched, and bring her back to John's Church for trial!"

"If she is innocent, then the priest will protect her from being devoured by the holy fire. If she is guilty, then the holy fire will surely annihilate her body."

A group of people hugged Father Luke, dragged Jack and Lise, and left Jasmine Street.Yu Fei let go of Xiao Li's hand, and the two looked at each other in silence.

Xiao Li's black eyes were full of fear and shock, and it took him a long time to squeeze out two words from his throat, "Yufei..."

Father Luke walked away and glanced back in their direction.

"Father?" Someone asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Satan."

[The author has something to say: some useless easter eggs:

① Hurricane "Skoura" is a weakened version of Hurricane Katrina, which is stronger than Typhoon Mangkhut.

② "Witch trials" and crow masks: Witch trials have happened in history, and Father Luke turned the wheel of history back.The inspiration for the "crow mask" of Father Luke's disciple came from the dress of doctors at that time when the Black Death was rampant in Europe in the Middle Ages.

(At the same time, "cross-dressing" is a metaphor for the "dehumanization" and "changes in the perception of self-position" of the villains (because they are too brainwashed). In Shakespeare's words: "Of course, My clothes have indeed changed my character." Finally, I added a paragraph: "Lord of the Flies" is very well written about "dehumanization"! After all, it is written by a god..." He looked at the water in surprise, What I see is not myself, but a frightening stranger ... the mask becomes a thing with independent life, behind which Jack hides, completely free from shame and self-consciousness.")
