Chapter 221: Fallen Believers (ask for a monthly ticket!)

Chapter 221 Fallen Believers (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

one day later.

Chen Lun stood in front of the gate of the Red Apple Church in Honghua Town.

There was a dead silence all around, and no one could be seen.

This small town is even more desolate than Bingnuo Town and Youdou Town. Since he entered the town, he has never seen a living person, not even a disease lunatic.

Except for the crows that fly by from time to time, it is lifeless, like a dead town.

"Mr. Jack?"

Dongyang spoke from the side.

Chen Lun recovered from his contemplation, turned his head to look at him, and then looked at the players behind him.

The players who died in Youdou Town before have been resurrected and returned to the team. Fortunately, because of the battle, they established a certain connection with Youdou Town, and the resurrection point was automatically refreshed at the entrance of that town, so they didn't get separated.

Chen Lun released the crow on his shoulder, and said softly:

"This church has no priests, and the people of Red Apple Church have evacuated..."

"Already withdrawn?!"

Dongyang and the others looked at each other in shock.

They opened the task panel to check again, and found that the completion rate of the task this time was "2/3". Obviously, the church in front of them still needed to be destroyed.

"—Could it be because of the tip-off from the Lost Name Guild? So the Red Apple Church has prepared in advance?"

Chen Xi spoke.

"-Probably!"

The horseman said.

"—Don't even think about it, it must be the gang of cubs... We have wiped out the church branches in the two small towns in front of us. They have lost so much, and they must want to use this way of snitching to recover from the church. A little favorability."

Gootou Jin followed up with a reply in the team channel.

Others nodded, approving his statement.

"Let's go."

The silver cane in Chen Lun's hand turned and rested lightly on his forearm.

He held on to the black hat and walked in.

Dongyang and others followed closely behind and also entered the outer courtyard of the church.

The sound of dense footsteps echoed in the empty and quiet scene. Everyone passed through the outer courtyard and came directly to the door of the church hall. Chen Lun personally pushed open the huge and heavy wooden carved door.

Creak—!

The uniform low-pitched prayers suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Dongyang and the others took a closer look, only to find that the entire hall was almost full of kneeling men, women and children. They were dressed in the clothes of ordinary residents, kneeling on the ground piously, and muttering the Bible teachings of the Red Apple Church.

These believers looked very strange, their expressions were pious but fanatical, and their eyes were full of a color of longing.

“God said that hunger is the original desire of man, and eating is to obey the original desire…”

"God said that flesh and blood is the root of man, and its growth is the continuation of life..."

"God said that sickness is only a necessary way, we need to be tested..."

The prayers chanted wave after wave, full of holiness. The sound waves hit Dongyang and the others, sending chills down their backs and chills in their hearts.

Chen Lun looked around blankly, and found that none of these believers had a heartbeat. They seemed to be alive, but in fact they were already dead.

The reason why he was able to behave like an ordinary person as he did before his death depends on a means of the Red Apple Church.

Chen Lun still had a fresh memory of this method.

'The Red Apple Church in version 1.0 of the previous life was able to wreak havoc in the empire on a large scale, precisely because of an extraordinary creature called 'fruit maggot'...that was a creation secretly researched by the church. '

The kind of "fruit honey" I met in Amber City before is the excrement of this extraordinary creature after eating apples. Whether it is taken directly or prepared as a medicine for injection, it can increase the vitality of the human body and achieve a certain degree of "treatment" and "strengthening" effects.

Its side effect is to reduce life expectancy.

Many uninformed people are extremely eager for the "fruit honey" distributed by the church, and even spend all their wealth, donating and giving, just to allow themselves or their family and friends to live for a while.

Connie's father is a believer who relies heavily on this "drug".

Gary, the first leader of the Iron Fist Gang, and the bodyguards found by Mr. Daniel are all strengtheners who have been injected with "drugs".

It can be seen that in the process of secret research, the Red Apple Church spread out the "excrement garbage" that was not needed to make money.

The real research result is to implant fruit maggots directly into the human body, and perform a certain ritual of the church, creating a group of terrible church "soldiers".

These people died during the ceremony, and the fruit maggots would continue to eat in their bodies until they died completely. In a sense, they are really just a flesh manipulated by maggots, full of pollution and chaos, very terrible monsters.

This kind of people... No, it should be called a fruit maggot parasite, and there is a common name called "fallen believers".

"leave here."

Chen Lun said suddenly.

"This is an empty shell church left by the Red Apple Church, but it is actually a trap."

Dongyang and others were shocked.

"Yes! Mr. Jack!"

They immediately turned around, trying to leave the church hall.

But right now.

Boom!

The two huge wooden doors closed tightly with a loud noise.

Not only that, the bricks on the wall above the gate suddenly moved away, and a solid iron fence popped up, inserting straight into the threshold, completely blocking the escape route.

A faint clicking sound could be heard coming from the wall, obviously this was a trigger mechanism that had been set long ago.

"Oops! We're locked up!"

The centaur shouted.

"Look at mine!"

Goutoujin yelled, his body swelled up, and then he slammed into the wall on the side of the gate. He wanted to break the wall and punch a big hole so that everyone could leave.

Boom!

Bricks flew across, and smoke and dust filled the air.

But the expected hole in the wall did not appear. Everyone found that the walls of the church hall were not only very thick, but also had a row of fairly strong iron railings inside.

"Did this frankly go for the steel fortress when it was built?!"

Gou Toujin stretched his aching arm, complaining angrily.

Perhaps because he hit the wall too loudly, all the prayers stopped abruptly, and the entire hall fell into a dead silence.

Dongyang and others turned around and looked at the group of believers kneeling on the ground, all of them were motionless.

In the atmosphere where needles could be heard, a child's voice suddenly sounded:

"Mom, I'm hungry."

A few seconds later, a woman's voice sounded:

"Eat when you're hungry."

Everyone held their breath, and saw the kneeling believers in front of them slowly turning their heads, staring at them with eyes.

"hungry."

"I'm very hungry, too."

"It's better to eat them."

The believers stood up one after another, their expressions gradually became ferocious, their eyes full of longing and madness, and then they surrounded Dongyang and the others.

"Shoot!"

Dongyang made a decisive decision and let out a loud drink.

At the same time, the fallen believers rushed over hysterically.

Bang bang bang...!

Nearly a hundred muskets spit out fireworks, and countless small steel **** flew out.

A series of dull beating sounds sounded, and the small steel **** shot into the bodies of these believers, splashing out **** flowers. Many believers were covered in blood after being shot, and fell to the ground due to the impact of the recoil, but they still struggled to crawl, and their eyes became more and more ferocious.

Suddenly.

Some fallen believers experienced strange changes after being severely injured.

Pfft! Pfft...!

Their bodies twisted, and disgusting tentacles suddenly grew out from their shoulders, backs, and even navels. They were made of intertwined bones and muscles, and even had unevenly distributed teeth, nails, and hair on them.

The players fired again, but this time, the effect of the bullets was greatly reduced. Even though they were shot several times, these believers still stood firm, even more crazy.

They quickly rushed to the player, grinning grinningly, and constantly waving their tentacles.

A player tried to fight with him, but the sword in his hand couldn't kill him at all. Instead, he was pierced and entangled by dozens of tentacles, and finally sent into the mouth full of sharp teeth, chewing and swallowing.

Several extraordinary people in Dongyang also stepped forward to fight, but they found that these fallen believers were extremely difficult to deal with.

Mechanical gloves and bombs are not suitable for use in this airtight scene, it is very easy to accidentally injure teammates, and the hole cards that should be used are all used up, so Dongyang had to call for help:

"Mr. Jack! Please help us!"

Chen Lun stood aside, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

He knows that this is the epitome of the future of the empire. At that time, there will be such fallen believers everywhere, acting as "soldiers" in the hands of the Red Apple Church, who only exist for madness and killing.

Alienated fallen believers are obviously more violent, and their vitality, resilience, and physical fitness have also been enhanced, almost reaching the threshold of a superhuman.

The entire hall of the Red Apple Church was filled with the smell of blood, and the original solemn murals were covered with blood. The number of these fallen believers is about one or two hundred. It is normal for Dongyang and other players to be unable to beat them.

"Ok…"

Chen Lun turned his head slightly, looked at Dongyang and the others struggling to resist, and pondered for a while.

"Well, after all, this is not something you can handle."
