Chapter 128 Noah's Ark (twenty-six)(1/2)
Deep in the dark and humid sewer, this place that should have contained sewage was transformed into a simple medical care area. Patients infected with the plague lay on temporary beds, waiting for death to come.
Or, wait for the remaining vitality.
The sound of coughing, moaning, and the dying murmurs are all like this.
In the darkness, footsteps came. The caregiver, who was so tired that he was confused, barely opened his eyes and looked at the depths of the dark corridor, where there was a little light, getting closer and closer.
Daisy, wearing a black robe, walked towards here with a basket of flowers and an oil lamp.
The old beggar who was in charge of guarding the ward area stood up and reported to Daisy: "Yesterday, there were 80 patients in each ward, but 63 people could not be rescued. Now the medicinal materials stored in the city are becoming more and more expensive, so they can only be obtained from the black market at a high price..."
After hearing this, Daisy said, "Pull the fox and exchange the gems for cash."
Old beggar: "Okay."
Daisy began to inspect the ward, and under the guidance of the nursing staff, she used flowers to absorb the plague in the dying patients one by one to help them stabilize their condition.
After completing the routine process, she retreated to the corner of the sewer and began to vomit, as if she wanted to vomit all her internal organs.
The curse in the blood became more and more crazy, and the dark spots crawled on her skin like living things, making her face terrifying like an evil ghost in the mud, and she was weaker every day.
If it weren't for the bone-broken hatred, she wouldn't have been able to hold on to today no matter what.
"Mephist." Daisy fell to the dirty ground and cursed the gods with resentment, over and over again.
The old beggar handed her a clean cloth. She collapsed on the ground and wiped the corners of her mouth with this thick cloth without any concern.
"Don't bury yourself in hatred, think about something happy." The old beggar said, "If revenge is successful, what do you want to do?"
Daisy couldn't figure out what she would look like after ending her hatred.
Since the Thousand Rivers Basin sank, her life has only enduring hatred, pointing to the culprit Mephist.
When he saw Lord Sumer for the last time, the weak original god was on the verge of death. Daisy knelt at his feet and begged him to hold on for the Thousand Rivers Basin.
"It's too late. Mephist, the root of all evil, ignited the greed in everyone's hearts. Greed can make the gods fall and destroy the gods." Sumer, with a white hair, said regretfully.
After that, Sumer fell, and the Thousand Rivers Basin began to slowly sink. Among the billions of creatures, there were only one who could board a ship and escape.
This original human continent finally returned to the sea.
The sea...
A ray of light suddenly burst out from Daisy's mind filled with hatred.
She grabbed the ray of light as if she had grabbed the last straw.
That was a man, or a mermaid.
"Cale..." The weak Daisy murmured with the name, and she suddenly had a little strength, "If I could survive, I would probably think..."
Let's return to the sea with him.
Daisy's hatred eyes gradually became gentle. Caleb was not a very smart person, but his sincere nature made him cute, better than all the masked people in the palace.
The first time I saw Caleb was on a stormy night, when the boat she was riding was maliciously chiseled a big hole, and she almost died in the sea.
At that time, she had not yet received favor from Lord Sumer, and was not the future princess who had let her father and mother, and her brothers and sisters were like plague princesses who were stuck in her throat. However, her voluntary request to go to the epidemic area to treat the epidemic has caused dissatisfaction with Brother Wang.
On her way to calm the border epidemic and return to the royal capital, the news that Lord Sumer asked to summon her spread in the palace. Everyone said that she was about to win the favor of Lord Sumer and might surpass her brother and be designated as the heir to the kingdom.
At the moment the ship sank, she felt not the fear of death, but a deep sorrow.
What I want is never power, I just want to die less, even if it's just one, but who can come to save me? She thought in despair.
The moment she fell into the sea, she was discouraged and even felt that it was good to sink to the bottom of the sea like this. Anyway, humans came from the sea.
But in the cold sea water, someone hugged her. She opened her eyes in the darkness. In the storm, she saw a figure. He swam forward with her back, and his figure was as agile and flexible as a mermaid.
"It won't be a problem. I will send you home. I swear with my life." He said.
She fainted, and when she woke up, she was saved. The young lord of the nearby city-state was saved. Yes, it was such a "coincidence" - he admired her beauty and talent and proposed to her.
She pretended not to know the lord's ambitions, and used his power to return to the capital, and then found an opportunity to dispel his thoughts decently.
On the way back, she met a dark-skinned, big-eyed boy who volunteered to be her guard.
"I want to send you home!" he said.
The moment he spoke, she heard his voice, the mermaid who saved her on the night of the shipwreck, but his tail had turned into legs.
The silly mermaid didn't know how presumptuous it would be. She was almost interrupted by someone and her legs that had finally grown up were all due to her efforts to protect him.
Since then, the long-legged mermaid has been following her, following her through various epidemic areas in the Thousand Rivers Basin, witnessing her from Princess Daisy, the most popular at the court dance, to a plague princess overwhelmed by malicious rumors and stigma.
He felt wronged for her, and begged her to abandon all this and go to the sea with him:
"The High Priest told me that only 1% of the area in this world is land, and the remaining 99% are oceans. We are free in the sea. Look, even a prince like me can run to the land to find you. You don't need to endure any grievances, just be a free mermaid with me. In the arms of the mother of the sea, I can protect you."
For a moment, she was so tired that she was so moved.
However, the accident happened too quickly. Lord Sumer was in danger, his territory was frozen and collapsed, and the Thousand Rivers Basin sank... She was pushed onto a path of revenge by fate. Revenge became the meaning of her life.
"Ahem, Caleb..."
Daisy, who fell to the depths of the sewer, coughed gently and closed her eyes tiredly.
A panic sound of running in the depths of the corridor was heard, and the guards in charge of sending the message ran wildly and shouted: "Sir Daisy, where are you!"
Daisy forced herself to hold her eyelids and tried to adjust herself into a decent sitting position: "I'm here."
The guards were sweating heavily and said in horror: "The big thing is not good. The guards in the city suddenly surrounded the exits of the sewer and are now attacking in. It can't last long here. Please give me instructions!"
Daisy was shocked: "How is this possible?"
These nobles who were drunk and dreaming of life and death did not care about life and death in the lower city, let alone spending a lot of effort to encircle refugees and infected people.
The old beggar immediately said: "Sir Daisy, please leave from the hidden exit immediately - there is a passage in the sewer to directly lead to the waters outside the city. Your water quality is good and you can jump into the sea to escape."
Daisy stood up holding the wall and staggered several times, but she still stood firm.
She asked, "If I leave, there will be no resistance here. All refugees who are staying here, as well as infected people who are treating the disease, will all die."
The guards and the old beggar's eyes showed sadness.
"I'll stay." Daisy took a deep breath, with a firm expression. "Now start listening to my instructions, summarizing the intelligence, determining the number of guards at each exit, finding a weak exit to focus on breakthroughs, and bringing all the patients who can still leave. Leave the members of the suicide squad and lead the guards who have already attacked the sewer to...my underground garden, I'll buy you time."
"Sir Daisy, this is too dangerous!"
“We can’t let you take such risks.”
Daisy's face covered with black rose-like markings showed a calm smile: "Don't worry about me, the sewer garden is my territory, and no one is my opponent unless Mephist comes in person!"
……………………
In the underground garden deep in the sewer, a bloody massacre is underway.
Above the high dome, a huge piece of crystal is emitting a gentle and gentle light, just like the dawn in the morning, illuminating all things and nourishing flowers that should not have grown here.
But now, these carefully raised flowers are trampled into a ground of red by the guards.
As the flowers died, countless pipes buried in the soil turned into fierce hidden weapons, shooting arrows polluted by poisonous blood - all those who were hit by the arrows died in pain.
In an instant, hundreds of guards who poured into the underground garden died.
"Burn all these flowers, see the location of the pipes clearly, avoid those poisonous arrows, and be sure to capture the plague princess alive!" shouted the leader of the guards.
The guards regained their momentum and began to ignite fires everywhere.
The fire broke out, and the raging fire engulfed the swaying sea of roses. In the flames, Daisy, who stood from afar, looked at them with pity.
"It's raining." She raised her head and said, looking at the crystal above her head.
The light of the crystal gradually dimmed, and the pipes densely spread over the dome began to rain.
It was a rain of sadness and resentment polluted by cursed blood.
It is full of resentment from billions of creatures in the Thousand Rivers Basin and the painful curse of those refugees abandoned in the sewers.
The bloody rain was soaring that it was even more difficult to defend against than poisonous arrows. The leader of the guards realized that everything was irreversible and shouted "retreat", but he was wet by the rain, his skin and facial features were corroded and charred, and he fell to the ground in pain.
In the underground garden, all the flowers fighting for beauty have died, and the army of guards in Noah were buried with them.
In a horrific scene of death, only Daisy was still standing there, looking sadly at the sea of flowers that were destroyed. It took too time to re-cultivate them, but without these flowers, she would not be able to help others absorb the plague.
If... those infected people can survive this encirclement.
Daisy sighed and turned toward the exit of the sewer. The large guards' troops were buried here. The pressure of the assault team was relieved. I wonder if they had successfully broken through...
"Ba, bha, bha." Several perfunctory applause sounded.
Daisy stopped in surprise and looked back—
In the flower field destroyed by fire and blood rain, a man dressed in magician appeared behind her at some point, and his facial features, which were erratic and weird, squeezed out a hideous smile.
"Oh, you are the last generation of Sumer, the legendary Plague Princess. Fortunately, I am the magician Mephist who is here to perform a special show for you." Mephist tilted his head and spread his arms exaggeratedly, "The name of the show is - The Death of Plague Princess."
The gravity of the field increased sharply, and the crystals on the garden dome shattered, and fragments fell towards Daisy.
Daisy retreated in a hurry, but her body, which was hollowed out by disease and curse, had already dried up. She fell into the ashes of the sea of flowers and was pierced by several crystal fragments.
She spit out a mouthful of blood, and wherever the blood passes, the soil is emitting resentment.
Mephist stepped on the corpse all over the floor and grabbed her neck with white gloves, lifting the dying Daisy up.
