[Part1·Eureka moment]

We are safe, for now.

Waves of strange spiritual pressure fluctuations swept from the upper reaches of the river, and countless terrifying blood eagles lurked in its turbulent undercurrent.

All this is thanks to Fickwood Abby's psychic research experiments. These fish-human hybrids smelled the sweet smell, followed the blood of the messenger officers and soldiers, and wanted to catch up with Judas - to taste the aura of the Buddha.

of ageless meat.

After repelling the first wave of offensive, Billy Horn slowly returned to the cabin with the support of Judas, dragging his tired and suffering body.

He returned victorious again, but without laughing or celebrating.

Because he knew that this bad weather would continue——

——In Daoheng County, extraordinary natural and earthly disasters have occurred.

Unless this spiritual pressure environment can be restored to normal, the animals, plants, and even lichen microbial communities in the surrounding area will slowly turn into spiritual disaster derivatives.

The Arab man next to him is not a fuel-saving lamp. This guy has strange powers and can wield a rock-breaking pickaxe to smash the blood eagle's death door. He is probably a blood-granting unit.

Faye Frosalin immediately took out the medicine bottle and fed Billy the few remaining drops of medicine she used last time.

With the potion, he gradually regained some strength, and the wounds on his chest and lungs were slowly healing. This was good news.

He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. This physical body consumed too much energy. He had close contact with the mythical unit three times - Billy Horn's spiritual world was about to collapse.

"Why..."

He leaned against the window, tore open his tattered work clothes, and watched as the muscles in his chest gradually healed and re-outlined the angular lines as hard as iron. These were traces of the gunsmith teacher's years of work that required him to manually build the abutment base frame.

, is also his capital to face the incarnation of butterfly.

"Why do you know my name, little sister?"

Fayi was stunned for a moment. She couldn't answer this question and quickly looked at Judas.

Judah pursed his lips and responded casually: "It says it on your ID card."

Billy didn't believe it, and then asked: "I heard you guys arguing. You two seem to be Arabs?"

"I am a Semitic." Judah responded in a low voice, pointing to Ms. Fay: "She is a Persian."

The term Semitic does not refer to a single nation, but to a group of people whose national languages ​​belong to Afro-Asiatic and Semitic languages.

At the same time, this Semitic in the Bible also refers to Noah's eldest son (Shem). Judah did not lie - he did not understand his ethnic origin, so he could only use Semitic to give a general answer.

"Do me a favor, brother," Billy shouted to Judas.

When he heard the title [brother], Judas's expression changed subtly.

It was a complex emotion of resentment, sympathy, arrogance and contempt.

Judas thought to himself——

——If it weren't for these blood eagle monsters, this kid Billy Horn would have become a ration a long time ago. Where did he get the confidence to dare to call me a brother?

Just now I picked up the rock pick and saved his life, and now he wants to send me? Order me to do things for him?

Yes, this dean completely ignored the objective fact that Billy Horn defeated the Blood Eagle. This is how business is done. Putting aside all kindness and friendship, there are only pure interests of you and me.

In Judah's world view, he only remembered that he helped Billy, and could not remember another thing at all - without Billy Horn, both he and Faye would have become food in the mouth of the blood eagle.

But don’t be surprised——

——This kind of ogre often appears in the mortal world. When writing a contract, there is no obligation, only rights. They never emphasize fairness and reciprocity. What they want is the absolute inequality between Party A and Party B.

And Judas was the best among them. In terms of settling accounts, he took advantage of everything and could not suffer any losses. It was this talent that contributed to the great achievements of the alliance.

"Do me a favor, brother!" Billy Horn shouted again: "Bring the boatman over, I can't move..."

Judas did not move. He was thinking about the meaning. This was the first time he had ever been the only one who shouted and obeyed other people's orders.

Billy opened the rice dumpling leaves, chewed the cold sweet rice dumplings, and swallowed this high-energy and high-sugar food.

"There is no one at the helm now. I have to confirm the status of the boatman brother and wake him up - this boat is going all the way south along the Wujiang River. If it hits a rock halfway, enters a dead end of a tributary, and is stranded in a barren mountain and old forest, my compass

I can’t tell the direction either..."

"At that time, if it is not Blood Eagle's turn, we will starve to death and freeze to death in this desolate land."

"Being eaten by wild beasts, being found and eaten by derivatives of the spiritual disaster environment, being blocked and entangled by various kudzu thorns and thorns, unable to find a way out, cold dampness and poisonous miasma of snakes and insects can kill us."

"I'm afraid of water, I don't want to get off the boat, bro."

Judas turned his head and said to Fayi casually: "Go and bring the boatman."

He was still unwilling to do it himself and wanted to send cadres to do it.

Billy immediately shouted stop: "No!"

Judas said impatiently: "Chirping, chirping, chirping! It's so annoying!"

Billy explained: "Brother Boatman's leg was injured, and he has a Vita mark on his body. In this kind of spiritual pressure environment, it may break out at any time - I saw before that this little sister also had a rash on her face."

"They cannot come into contact with each other, otherwise they will be cross-infected. This little girl can still run and jump now. If she touches the rotten leg of the boatman brother and comes into close contact with the deeply infected flesh tissue, it won't be long before she will also

paralyzed."

"It's you instead, brother."

Billy changed the topic and stared directly at Judas.

"You killed the Blood Eagle. This monster's body was full of sources of spiritual disaster pollution, but you didn't get sick, which means your resistance is very strong."

The formula of holy blood in Judas' body is better than that of Faye Frosalin, not only in the basic attributes of physical exertion, heart and blood circulation, but also in the ability to resist diseases and disasters.

"I beg you, no matter what grudges you have with this little girl, whether she is a slave you bought or your private property." Billy had already made it clear: "Please also personally take care of Brother Boatman.

Bring him here and let me see his injury."

When Fayi heard these words, her heart was broken.

She looked at the frail Billy Horne, and then thought of the young man on the train who was willing to lend his shoulder to a strange woman to lean on——

——She thought, how could there be such innocent and simple people in the world?

Judas emphasized: "Okay! You are right! You are right! I will do this! But I want to emphasize-"

The leader of the Guild Alliance glared fiercely at Faye Florsalin and then at the little lark.

"——This is my own wish! It's not an idea I came up with after listening to your long talk."

"I declare now!~"

Judas opened his arms and stood up straight. A sudden inspiration came to his mind, and he fully displayed his commanding talents.

"I want to save this boatman, not only to show kindness, but also to ask for something in return, and then let the boatman take me out of this hellish place."

Billy smiled and said: "Yes! Yes! Leader! Yes!"

"Hahahahaha!" Judas pointed at Billy Horn's nose: "You are a very sensible boy!"

Billy immediately responded: "Thank you! Leader! Thank you! Thank you for your life-saving grace..."

"If we can leave alive..." Judas turned to the dark corner of the cabin and asked meaningfully: "Billy Horn, are you willing to work with me? You seem to be very good at fighting...

"

Judas's mind was spinning rapidly. Facing a life-and-death crisis, he needed Billy Horn's violence.

This kind of violence can be purchased through many things, including Billy Horn's verbal admission of "life-saving grace", and Faye Frosalin's worthless love. Since the Lazuli Guardian can read the Blood Butterfly Bible, then

Anonymous disciples can also read this book.

This ignorant and fearless warrior was like a gift from Judas given to him by the goddess Io, falling from the sky when he needed help the most.

Billy responded: "That depends, leader."

Unconsciously, Judas returned to a familiar rhythm. He liked this feeling of being in control of everything.

Although he did not agree directly, he was sure to open the door to Billy Horn's heart little by little.

Perhaps more blood eagle monsters will board this ship one after another. Faye Frosalin is just a delicate doll and cannot deal with these monsters at all. Billy the Kid will definitely step forward and continue to build the bond of friendship.

.

Judas has this confidence and confidence——

——He carried the boatman to Billy, tore open the boatman's brother's trouser legs, revealing his red, shriveled body.

"He's in bad shape, Billy Horn."

Billy took a closer look and saw that the boatman had been sentenced to death.

This leg was sucked by the blood eagle. At first glance, it was full of rotten spots. Most of the muscles lost water and shrank. The insect nests were eaten into the bones. The face was bloodless and the cheeks were sunken. If it was stimulated by spiritual pressure again, then

The nymphs raised by the high-arched belly will immediately emerge from the cocoons and turn into butterflies, without the long process of ten months of pregnancy. Without a panacea, the boatman will be dead.

Billy hurriedly rummaged through his backpack, but he couldn't find the second bottle of potion.

As an engineering unit evacuating the battlefield, he and Foianini had to hand over their tactical resources to Teacher Su Ling, including life-saving supplies such as panacea. Originally, he and Foianini each kept a bottle of potion.

body, and Foianini’s bottle of potion failed to remain—

——According to the tactics of [Phoenix], Teacher Su Ling drinks medicine just like drinking water. The two brothers decided to keep only one bottle of medicine and give the rest to Teacher Su Ling as tactical resources.

Now that the medicine is gone, this boatman brother may not be able to save his life.

...

...

[Part2·Terror Balance]

Billy didn't panic. He laid the boatman brother's body flat, rummaged through his backpack, took out the toolbox of surveying instruments, opened the iron box and found a bottle of Laoganma, unscrewed the lid of the can of chili sauce, and inside

There is also Mrs. Bai freeze-dried powder.

He reluctantly got up, used up the last bit of his strength, turned Foianini's body over, took the small stove in his backpack, stuffed the gas can into it and started to light the fire.

Judas watched with great interest and had no intention of helping him——

——He is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to clear his name, to throw out the price just right, and to take the heart of this violent machine.

"Mr. Horn, I'm afraid Mrs. Bai's products won't be able to cure this old man's legs..." The experienced leader of the alliance whispered: "According to the degree of infection, you need to boil water and make tea to kill the insects and disinfect it."

, I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Billy was unsure, but he had to give it a try. He poured in all the freeze-dried powder from the can of Lao Ganma, turned it into a paste with boiling water, and waited for the medicine to be fully activated. Regardless of the pain, he used his fingers

With his head moistened with hot mud, he applied these vitalizing folk ointments on the boatman brother's legs, gradually moving toward his stomach.

The high-temperature medicinal mud once again activated this rotten and dead leg, and layers of fresh blood seeped out from the flesh and bones - but its self-healing speed was too slow.

Fat worms quickly crawled out from the depths of the bones, and they found new targets, just like locust swarms flying into the fields that were about to be deserted, trying to eat up all the new bones, blood and flesh.

"Damn it!" Billy yelled, slapping the bugs hard with his big hands, his face turned pale with fright.

It doesn't heal fast enough, and it doesn't have the targeted treatment effect on White Lady eggs and Vita Mark.

Its concentration is too low, and there are many placebo fillers in the freeze-dried powder, so it is simply not comparable to a panacea.

"Be patient..." Judas lowered his body and stopped at Billy Horn's ear, gently blowing out a stream of evil spirit: "Billy Horn, be patient, my hero, my

Comrade-in-arms, I am a compassionate and righteous partner in the world..."

"Why don't you let me try?"

Billy immediately hid on the other side, his eyes full of vigilance - he knew in his heart that the guy in front of him was definitely a blood donor, including the poor-looking girl, and these two unknown travelers were all blood donors.

unit.

Foianini just glanced at the Blood Eagle a few more times before he fainted from fright.

However, the minds of the man and woman were not affected much, and they did not contract the disease, which can already explain a lot of things.

"Judas..." Billy the Kid whispered the name: "You are Judas? Right?"

The War Information Center once shared some information about Judas with the anonymous soldiers. The most obvious feature is his brown skin.

After so long, the gunsmith teacher has not replied to the letter, and the summons bell has not received any news. There seems to be no breakthrough in Operation Autumn Harvest - this means that the mission in Daoheng County is not over yet.

During the Earth Mother's Sacrifice Ceremony, the only people who could freely enter and leave Feather's territory and escape this psychic disaster were the top characters of the Guiyi Sect.

Judas did not feel any surprise, but was extremely excited.

"Billy Horn, you're not that stupid!~"

It seems that the joke has come true——

——I came to kill Judas? Real or fake?

Billy Boy's face was pale and he did not dare to approach the head of all demons.

"Do you believe it?! Billy Horn! Do you believe me?!" Judas' palm gently caressed the legs and feet of the boatman brother. He tore off a piece of rotten flesh as big as a palm and swallowed some of the insect eggs together.

, "I eat the most poisonous food and do the greatest career."

"How unfair and cruel."

Feeling that he had some strength, he stretched out his hands again and performed a miracle for Billy Horn.

"I'm supposed to be a messenger from God, Billy."

"They are the people of God chosen by God, the pilots of mankind, and the symbols of civilization."

Under the kiss of the vulture, the layers of rotten flesh gradually turned into a pure light yellow broth. The tumbling and struggling Madam Bai had to repeatedly refine the essence, and gradually, under the control of the soul power of "Midas Turning Stone into Gold,"

It turns into nutritious insect juice and the raw material for panacea.

"I can resist the vicious curse of the Original Seed. I should be the King of Kings, that's how I should be!"

The bird's beak pecked all the way up, and the Judas Kiss exhaled bursts of gray smoke——

——He is like an artist, casually removing the intestinal flora, picking and separating the mycelium protein imprinted by Vita, and the arms and toes of the vulture spirit body with feathered limbs sweep away useless waste and poisons. After three

After four separations and purifications, the clinker for the panacea was gradually completed.

Let's look forward -

——Look towards the scavengers at Mimir Hot Spring Market.

Bu Liuxing once said, is there a possibility that he can borrow money repeatedly, get stuck with a shocking bug, donate blood and sell meat repeatedly, and then drink medicine to heal his body?

Then the miracle performed by Judas is this bug——

——He is using the boatman's body to make medicine, and at the same time he is healing this poor man.

"To resolve this curse, to me it is just to re-adjust the structure of the essence, to clarify every filthy thing, to eliminate every cursed thing, to eliminate the original sin in people, and to escape the divine punishment of God.

.”

Judas murmured in a low voice, his palms following the boatman's rapidly regenerating abdominal cavity, spreading all the way to his thighs, and then to his calves——

——It looks like a medical miracle performed by God, a ray of light in a dark age, a true Buddha, a true Bodhisattva, a true God and a true spirit who saves the world with compassion.

"Billy Horn." Judas called to his new disciple.

For the boatman brothers, the price they have to pay for reconstructing their bodies is also the mental damage that scavengers have to endure by repeatedly donating blood and selling meat.

Their hearts will gradually become numb, they will lose inspiration, they will become cold-blooded and ruthless, and they will gradually forget their [only way]——

"——You see me as a disaster."

Judas stroked the legs of the boatman brothers, and the white skin was as fragile as a newborn baby.

He knew that the next part of the road might be very difficult——

——But [Midas Turning Stone into Gold] will never let him down. As long as these Homo sapiens are stained with the Vita brand, he will never be short of meat.

"But just the opposite! Billy Horn!"

"How can you listen to the nonsense of Ao run Ming De? It is not a human being. No matter how much it confuses right and wrong, it is a beast!"

"I am a living person. I am afraid, timid and cowardly. I am afraid of violence. I just want to live. I am a human being just like you..."

"We helped each other and defeated the freak spawn of the Original Seed together. We are comrades in arms..."

"We're gay, right?"

Billy Horn's mind is being tested. It seems that the society built by BOSS has never taken special care of this poor guy.

Before boarding this ship, he was not brave enough. Just because he was not brave enough, he had to watch his glory and wealth slip away from his hands little by little.

He is not strong enough to be a warrior with a sharp sword, and he is not powerful enough to decide the fate of Duran and Flavia like Teacher Victor. Naturally, he cannot decide the fate of Faye Frosalin.

He can't even save his lover. He is just a small character. His name is not in the history books, just like many people, like countless people.

"That's not right...that's not right..."

Despite this, Billy still shook his head and looked at the nameless enemy with gritted teeth.

Judas was not in a hurry. Like the gunsmith, he was like a patient fisherman: "Isn't that right? If there is no pride, ruthlessness and morality..."

"Shut up!" Billy Horn's eyes widened and he couldn't help but fumble for a weapon in his backpack.

Judas raised his hands in surrender: "If there were no proud, ruthless and wise virtue..."

The scarred geological hammer wants to kiss Judas’ head——

"——Fayi."

The hammer stopped in front of Judas' nose.

Judas' tone did not change at all, and his eyes were cold: "Fayi, yes, Fayi, your rose fairy."

Mr. Horn couldn't move. He looked sideways to the other side of the cabin. Just as he imagined, the little girl in her twenties was really Faye Frosalin, the last of Judah's.

Protective Feather.

He can't do it. Love can give him strength, but it can also make him weak.

If he and Judas break up, as long as this guy is trapped and killed in the boat, everything seems to be successful.

But Foianini and Fai, as well as the boatman brothers, had to be buried with them. Without the power of turning stone into gold to heal their wounds, if there were still pursuers following, they would definitely die in the mouth of the blood eagle.

Due to the interference caused by the special spiritual pressure environment, the spirit insect that summoned Ling was unable to bring the news from Daoheng County back to the war situation center. Billy also shouldered the important task of calling for follow-up reinforcements. At least the paper

We must prepare intelligence and audio records and send them back, otherwise the gunsmith teacher will be trapped in an embarrassing situation of being isolated and helpless in Aizong Mausoleum.

He roared loudly, and the harder he cursed, the weaker his mind became.

"You damn bastard! You damn bastard! Judas! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

Judas gently fiddled with the hammer——

"——Let's get through this difficult time slowly, Billy Horn, and look forward. We must look forward."

"You should think clearly and see clearly. I can give you what Aohun Mingde cannot give you."

"You have never betrayed humanity, but you have awakened from your ignorance! You have awakened! You are different!"

"You saw through the vicious beast's slanderous tactics and finally came to me."

Judas gently tapped Billy Horn on the shoulder, maintaining a delicate balance of terror.

"We are in the same boat and are bound by flesh and blood..."
