The man held his neck and forced himself to say something.
"Pay attention to the time." Xia Yanzhen didn't rush.
The man gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly to run away, but Xia Yanzhen kicked him in the calf and immediately fell to the ground. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.
"Now, it will take you more time to escape from here." Xia Yan took his time.
"I said, I said, you will let me go later!" The man compromised.
"Tell me." Xia Yanzhen smiled brightly.
Regardless of his identity as the son of a blacksmith, he looks so dazzling.
But the blacksmith's son... well, in this medieval age, the blacksmith's son was actually not a bad identity.
But the dead bodies in the outbreak area are different.
The guard told Xia Yanzhen everything about the Black Death and the church in the fastest and most concise words in his life.
The church has no additional name, it is the church.
The red cross is the church symbol.
There are nuns, priests, bishops, and today's non-staff personnel such as doctors in the medical team and guards in the guardianship team.
The church does have the means to treat the Black Death, but not everyone can be cured.
Only people with money and status who contracted the Black Death were eligible for treatment.
Everyone else can only wait to die.
The Black Death was an extremely terrible disease.
After contracting the Black Death, within a day or two, you will become very weak, your face will be pale, your eyes will bleed, you will vomit blood, and a large number of black and red patches will appear on your body.
Without the church's treatment, no one could survive more than three days.
What is even more terrifying than the original Black Death in the real world is that when people infected with the Black Death die, their corpses will come back to life and move.
Become a more terrifying source of infection.
This is where the name "dead body" comes from.
It is not easy to deal with the real dead body. However, it takes about three days to die from the Black Death and become a dead body, just like dying from the Black Death.
Therefore, the dead body did not cause any big trouble.
As long as the dead people are transported out in time and burned, everything will be fine.
Near the other "exit" of this outbreak area, there is a burning area used to burn the dead people in the outbreak area.
The person responsible for entering the outbreak area and transporting the corpses out is called a corpse transporter.
Part of the guard's job is to keep an eye on these corpse carriers to prevent them from being lazy and causing dead bodies to appear.
The guards, corpse transporters, etc. will also have certain benefits.
In the unlikely event that one of them got the Black Death, he could be treated if a doctor from the medical team was willing.
But there is no Bird Beak Doctor, or the Bird Beak Doctor is unwilling, and there is no time, so we can only wait to die.
Many people volunteer to become guards or even corpse carriers, just to seek a chance of survival for themselves or their families.
The corpse carrier was fine.
The Guards are really overcrowded, and it's not easy to become a member of the Guards.
The man was one of those whose family was relatively wealthy, and he almost spent all his wealth to get a position in the guard team.
By relying on his job as a guard, he could make money and have a chance of survival if his family or himself got the Black Death.
There is a unified theory that the origin of the Black Death was a disaster sent by demons.
Only the church can save the world.
No one suspects the increasing number of rats appearing everywhere.
Xia Yanzhen suspected that it was rats, but this was a mission world, and the Black Death might not really be related to rats.
The place where Xia Yanzhen is now is called Nayasi Port, which is a fairly prosperous port city.
It was invaded by the Black Death, and a total of two outbreak areas were sealed off, barely within acceptable limits.
The lord of Nayasi is not in the city, hiding in his own manor, isolated from the outside world.
Today Nayasi is completely controlled by the church.
Sol Cathedral became the center of Nayasi, and Father Rod was the master of Nayasi.
The church's medical team just left Nayasi two days ago, so there is currently no medical team in Nayasi.
This is also the reason why men are so frightened.
The medical team would be away for at least five or six days. If he really got the Black Death, it would be all over.
"Okay, you can go." After Xia Yanzhen listened to all the information, he waved his hand, indicating that the man could leave.
The man rolled away and crawled away without even looking back.
The blockade of the outbreak area cannot be very tight. After the man, Xia Yanzhen also left the place.
The Black Death broke out in Nayasi, and although it was under control, it inevitably became depressed.
Father Rhodes sent people to control the port and the city gate, making it difficult to leave here.
If not, Nayasi will probably be even more depressed than he is now.
But it's not enough that people inside can't go out casually. People from outside don't want to come here. As a port city, how can it not be depressed?
After leaving the outbreak area, Xia Yanzhen didn't encounter many pedestrians.
The lifeless and dirty medieval city exudes an unpleasant smell.
There was sewage flowing across the street, and the rats ran past it openly, not even afraid of people.
For ordinary dream apostles.
Their mission is to survive the Black Death for thirty days.
With the strength of the Dream Apostle, he would not die suddenly in three or four days like ordinary people, but it is probably impossible to persist for thirty days.
Then, dealing with the church is the only option to complete the mission and survive.
The church has the ability to cure or contain the Black Death, which is the hope of the Apostle of Ordinary Dreams.
As for what the relationship with the church will look like, it depends on the choices of the Dream Apostles.
Anyway, the church is an unavoidable hurdle in completing the mission.
Xia Yan really felt that he did not have the Black Death, but he was not 100% sure. Naturally, he had to go to the church to have a look.
Sol Cathedral is easy to find. The Gothic building with its spire is solemn and majestic. It is high up and brings a great sense of oppression.
If you go to a slightly higher position and look up, you can see the spire of the church.
Just go that way.
Xia Yanzhen came to the vicinity of Sol Cathedral, and there were more people around.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Outside the church, a large number of people gathered. They looked sad and dishonest, but their expressions were very pious. They knelt on the clean and flat open space outside the church.
, praying.
Outside the church gate, there was a queue of people.
People in line put their money into a black wooden box on the table. Next to the wooden box, a man dressed as a priest solemnly handed a piece of paper to the person who sent the money.
"This seems to be a redemption note." The man in the guard said.
The church is giving out indulgences.
People spend money to buy indulgences and prove their piety, and they will be protected by the church.
It is possible to resist the invasion of the Black Death.
In addition, after having indulgences, you are eligible to enter the church.
The church is a sacred place. If you can enter it once, the probability of getting the Black Death will be reduced.
The standard empty glove is in vain.
As for indulgences being used to obtain healing from the Church - that is impossible.
Only powerful people are likely to be taught healing.
Ordinary people, if they want to get treatment from the church, they can only become corpse carriers and guard this way.
There are many people outside the church.
Xia Yan's arrival did not attract much attention.
Not long after, a group of guards hurried over and whispered a few words to the priest outside.
The priest's expression changed and he immediately walked into the church.
After a while, a man dressed as a priest but with a more dignified appearance came out and said something sternly to the guards.
The guards took the order and left one after another.
If I'm right, the people around me coming out from the back are Father Rhodes.
Xia Yanzhen walked past the people kneeling on the ground praying and walked towards the church door.
A group of people were kneeling, and Xia Yanzhen stood out, standing out from the crowd.
Father Rhodes noticed Xia Yanzhen and frowned.
Although he was wearing clothes that fit the era, Xia Yan's appearance and temperament were incompatible with those around him and was very eye-catching.
Clean and cool, it is definitely something that ordinary people in the Middle Ages could have.
Even some high-ranking people look like weaklings compared to Xia Yanzhen.
"Go and ask. If he wants to come, let him come into the church." Father Rhodes ordered, turned around and walked into the church.
Such a person would definitely not be just passing by if he appeared here.
You can tell just by looking at him walking towards here.
The priest walked over and stopped Xia Yanzhen: "Your Excellency is..." He used the honorific title unconsciously.
His posture was quite humble, completely different from the arrogance he had shown when he faced those donors just now.
"I'm looking for Father Rhodes. Can you let me in?" Xia Yanzhen said.
"Please." The unknown priest moved out of the way.
Xia Yanzhen walked into the church amidst the doubtful and envious eyes of many people.
The door slowly closed, cutting off their sight.
The blacksmith's home was at the center of the outbreak area, and everyone who knew Summer Munster's identity died cleanly.
Naturally, others would not know that Xia Yan was really a "dead body" coming out of the outbreak area.
There were a few people in the guard team who could recognize him, but they are gone now.
Xia Yanzhen entered the church.
The interior of the church is very tall, spacious and magnificent. There is a large cross near the ground opposite the door.
But no one was nailed up there.
Father Rhodes stood under the cross and looked at Xia Yanzhen. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed: "Kill him!"
Two men immediately appeared in the shadows behind the church columns.
They covered the lower half of their faces with black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Parts of their black clothes were covered with light dark armor.
Holding a dagger and...a lantern?
They are the unknown burial organs of the Church, which formerly buried heretics and enemies of the Church.
There are now more dead bodies among the burial objects.
The two men hung lanterns on their waists and rushed towards Xia Yanzhen at extremely fast speeds.
Then he flew backwards at a faster speed and hit the pillar where he was hiding just now.
After falling to the ground, I couldn't get up at all.
"You take action whenever you disagree. Father Rhodes has a bad temper." Xia Yanzhen walked towards the priest and said.
"Dead body! Dissipate!"
Father Rhodes held the church's Bible in his hand, holding it high and shouting.
The light in the church suddenly changed with his voice, forming a beam and falling on Xia Yanzhen.
