Chapter 311 Plague Town
The sky was dark, and the sky was full of dark clouds, as if they would fall at any time.
Plague Town.
Plague Town used to be called Rogue Town, with a population of five or six thousand people, and a large number of villages and large tracts of farmland nearby. Because of its developed agriculture, it was remote, but it was also a very happy country town.
But now this town is called Plague Town, and there are basically no living people in the surrounding villages. An evil wizard attacked the major villages with plague, turning the villages into ghost dens.
Some villagers survived, but they also brought the virus to Plague Town. So the normal townspeople in Plague Town were also infected, but this plague was not fatal. It would only make the people in the town fall into despair, because of despair and fear, fear and despair intertwined to form a kind of power.
This kind of power is often liked by evil wizards.
In the town, desperate and fearful people are waiting for death.
"It's going to rain soon. If it were last year, I should have gone to the fields to check and dig a ditch to prevent the rain from being too heavy and the ditch from draining."
A middle-aged man was lying on the street, staring blankly at the sky.
The middle-aged man was very capable, with muscles all over his body and calluses on his hands. He was a strong farmer who worked all year round.
He was still strong now, but his eyes had lost their spirit. His body was covered with white spots, which looked scary.
The plague made him a little weak, but it would not damage his body, but his spirit would be very tired, just like a person who stayed up late, even if he slept enough during the day, he would still be in poor spirits.
Now he didn't want to move.
"Don't think about the farmland, we are going to die." There were many people lying on the street like the middle-aged man, one of the farmers said.
His symptoms were exactly the same as the previous one.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is waiting for death.
Just like a condemned prisoner, he will feel relieved and happy only when his head is chopped off.
The rest of the time, he is just wandering between despair and fear.
All the brave people in the town died, and there were various ways of death. Some people died by hitting the wall, some jumped from the city with their heads down, and some used the simplest method to hang themselves.
The rest of the people are those who do not have the courage to commit suicide, but have to wait for death to come.
"I heard that the evil wizard will send his ghouls to attack us when we are most desperate and afraid, eat our flesh and blood, and gnaw our souls to make his ghouls more powerful."
said the first farmer.
"It's really scary to think about it. My body, which can no longer move, can't help but want to get up and run away. But before that moment comes, I still don't want to die. Suicide is really terrible."
said the second farmer.
"Yes, I don't want to die before death really comes."
said the first farmer.
"In fact, we may not die. Aren't there still Cheetah Knights in the town? They promised to protect us when the evil wizards attack."
The third farmer said.
"Although the knights are powerful, wizards are often more powerful than knights. Especially the evil wizards, plague, ghouls, and even undead, they have too many means. And there are too few knights in the town now."
The first farmer said.
"But it is undeniable that the existence of the knights gives us hope. If they are not here, we will only be more desperate."
The third farmer said.
….
Elsie's family.
Mr. Elsie is one of the few nobles in the town. He has a villa at home, and there are several male and female servants serving in the villa.
There is also a beautiful wife and a son who was born more than a year ago.
It is a completely happy family.
But now.
In the restaurant on the first floor of the villa, the maids prepared lunch. The lunch was steak and bread. The strictly trained maids were shaking when they carried the plates.
Mr. Elsey was sitting at the dining table. He looked at the panicked maids, especially the white spots on their faces, and felt sick and scared.
But he did not scold the maids, because Mr. Elsey was a gentle nobleman.
He knew that the maids were not crazy and mentally ill, which was very good.
"Where is the lady? Why hasn't she come yet?" Mr. Elsey asked with a frown.
The maids were obviously distracted. After a while, one of them answered: "The lady said that her appetite was not good and she didn't want to eat."
"I know the fear and despair of facing death, but if I don't eat, I will starve to death. If I die now, I may miss hope."
Mr. Elsey said.
"Sir, do we still have hope?" A maid couldn't help crying.
"I don't know, but I have hope." Mr. Elsey paused and gave such an answer.
He pushed the chair away and stood up, then came to the bedroom on the second floor. The door was closed, and Mr. Elsie knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Mr. Elsie's face changed drastically, and he kicked the door open.
In the bedroom, there was a beautiful lady, but she was extremely disgusted because of the white spots on her face. At this moment, the lady was holding a pillow, intending to smother her child.
"What are you doing." Mr. Elsie hurried over and snatched the pillow from his wife's hand, and the son below was able to cry.
Mr. Elsey's wife covered her face with her hands and cried, "I really can't bear to see him being eaten by the ghouls, so I want to kill him first and then commit suicide. Then you burn our bodies to ashes."
Mr. Elsey looked at his crying wife and suddenly calmed down. He sighed, hugged his wife and said, "Please believe me, we will get through it."
After a pause, Mr. Elsey said, "If we can't get through it, then I will kill my son and you first, and then commit suicide. I won't let the ghouls eat us while we are alive, and I won't let you see the ghouls eating our son."
Mr. Elsey's wife calmed down a little, but she was still in tears and her shoulders were shaking.
Mr. Elsey comforted his wife a few more words, and then took his wife downstairs for lunch.
After watching his wife eat lunch, Mr. Elsey sent his wife upstairs to sleep, and sent a maid to watch her to prevent her from doing stupid things.
"Evil wizard, I will not give up hope."
Mr. Elsie returned to the restaurant, sat down, clasped his hands, but his eyes were filled with fear.
He was just trying to hold on in front of his family.
Death, fear, despair, and hope. There are people like this everywhere in the town.
