Their wounds are already showing signs of inflammation and pus... "
A day after the end of the mission, a staff member responsible for taking care of the volunteers slowly stood up and shook his head at Fisher next to him. "Without medicine, only a few of these thirty or so people will survive."
Fisher's expression was a little ugly. He looked at the wounded people who were lined up in a row. These wounded people were the volunteers who had lit up the signal tower. However, as the black sphere Gantz said, this group of volunteers had been subjected to a terrible curse at this time.
Large patches of black ash had appeared on some parts of their bodies.
These ashes continued to spread, eroding every inch of people's skin, but the host was unaware of it. It was not until the black ash had eroded deep enough that it began to affect the host's movements that they were discovered.
However, the black sphere Gantz was right. After entering the safe zone, the black ash did not continue to spread, but the wounds under the black ash did not disappear. Instead, they became hideous and horrible wounds. Coupled with the fact that there were no antibiotics, these volunteers showed signs of infection due to large areas of skin ulceration.
Fisher thought to himself.
It was not a big deal for these people to die, but Fisher could not let them die because after these people died, the signal tower they had lit would go out again, making everything they had done before useless.
Therefore, this group of people must not die, at least not before he left this damn island...
"Send someone to find herbs. We still need more herbs and water to clean the wounds!"
At the thought of this, Fisher gave another order. He said righteously, "We can't let these heroes die in pain like this. Absolutely not!"
Suddenly, a group of members of the environmental protection organization were half-coerced and half-driven by the mercenaries. They left the safe zone again and headed halfway up the mountain to find water.
"Damn it, why is it us again?"
Along the way, the group of environmental protection personnel cursed loudly. One of the blonde young men said unwillingly, "Haven't you noticed? Those mercenaries have done almost nothing. They even eat, drink, and defecate on the top of the mountain, but they're asking us to come out and risk our lives to collect materials. This is unfair! "
"Indeed, whether it's collecting supplies or transporting clean water, we're the ones who risk our lives to collect them. We're also the ones who take care of the wounded. Even lighting up the signal tower was something our people volunteered to do. What did they do?"
Suddenly, someone chimed in, "That's right, the weak should be protected more! Let's go back and suggest to Fisher that those mercenaries should also do their duty! "
The group of people complained incessantly as they bustled to the only river on the island and began to collect clean water.
"If you ask me, we should suggest to Fisher to let those muscle-brained mercenaries kill those monsters. Otherwise, we'll always be in danger, and isn't their mission to protect us? Now it seems like we are the ones protecting them … "
The golden-haired young man kept muttering, but at this moment, he suddenly felt an itch on his scalp, as if something had fallen from his head. The young man subconsciously reached out to scratch it, and suddenly, a clump of hair was grabbed by him and fell into the river.
The young man was startled, and he slowly placed his palm in front of his eyes. Instantly, a wisp of soot-like black color appeared on his fingers and palm. It was so dark that it was terrifying.
"Wa ah ah ah …"
Subconsciously, the young man let out a scream, and with a splash, the wooden container in his hand fell directly into the river. As if he had gone mad, he turned around and fled in the direction he came from...
When the young man ran back to the safe zone while screaming, everyone turned to look at him. It was not until a mercenary stopped him that the young man gradually regained his senses. He lowered his head and pointed at the top of his head, screaming loudly, "It's a curse, it's a curse, we've all been cursed!"
"What's going on!"
Fisher quickly rushed over. He pushed through the crowd in front of him and suddenly saw the young man lowering his head and pointing at a black stain on his head. On the black stain, the young man's hair had almost fallen off.
This kind of mark …
Seeing this scene, Fisher seemed to think of something. He quickly turned his head and looked at the dozens of patients lying on the ground in the center of the safe zone. At the same time, an unthinkable possibility came to his mind!
This thought sent a chill down Fisher's spine. He subconsciously wanted to stay away from the young man, but when the other party saw Fisher coming, it was as if he had seen his savior and rushed over. "Mr. Fisher, you must save me. I'm also cursed. Hurry up and find a way to save me!"
"Go away!"
Fisher hurriedly retreated, but he was still a step too slow. The other party directly grabbed his arm, and suddenly, a layer of black ash was smeared on Fisher's wrist!
"Damn bastard!"
Fisher's pupils shrank. He broke free from the other party's grasp as if he had been electrocuted. At the same time, he kicked the other party away. "Hurry up and subdue him. Don't let him get close to me, hurry up!"
However, at this moment, no one listened to him. Everyone retreated in unison as if they had seen a god of plague.
No one was a fool. This young man was one of the volunteers in charge of taking care of them. At this time, as soon as he left the safe zone, he showed the same symptoms as many volunteers who had lit up the signal tower. This scene suddenly made everyone think of a possibility —
This curse was contagious!
This news was like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples. Everyone subconsciously distanced themselves from the others, and those who were taking care of the wounded were frantically washing their limbs.
For a moment, the campsite that had begun to establish order became chaotic again at this moment!
"Mr. Fisher!"
Several of Fisher's men who were still loyal to him rushed over. "Mr. Fisher, what should we do now?"
However, at this time, Fisher had no time to pay attention to this group of people. He just took out the kettle and frantically washed the part of his arm that was stained with black ash. His face was ashen.
"Fisher!"
At this moment, a female voice also came. When Fisher heard this voice, he subconsciously wanted to run away, but after a moment of hesitation, he still stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw Jennifer slowly walking over, supported by another blonde woman.
However, Jennifer's once beautiful face was now red and swollen like an inflated balloon. There was almost no flesh on the back of her head, leaving only her pale skull directly exposed to the air.
From afar, Jennifer did not look like a young girl in her twenties. Instead, she looked like an ugly red troll.
Seeing the strange appearance of Jennifer at this time, Fisher's cheek twitched, but he still forced a smile. "Jennifer, you're injured, you should rest more..."
"In this situation, I can't rest anymore."
Jennifer's voice was as hoarse as metal scraping against glass. She pleaded, "Fisher, I'm hopeless. You don't have to worry about it, but I have a request. No matter what, you must take my sister away from here!"
"Sister..."
The blonde woman who was supporting Jennifer on the side sobbed softly.
Fisher looked at the blonde woman who was hugging Jennifer tightly and could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth. "Jennifer, what nonsense are you talking about? We'll all leave here, please believe me."
"Fisher, now that things have come to this, are you still going to lie to me?"
Jennifer's expression became even more miserable. "We've done so much for you, and now, you can't even agree to this simple request of mine?"
"When did I not agree to you? We can all leave here safely. I've always believed in this, and I hope you can believe it too. " Fisher frowned. "Now, you'd better go back and lie down. It's messy enough here, I don't want you to come here and add to the mess!"
"Add to the mess? Heh... "
After hearing this, Jennifer could not help but laugh out of anger. Then, a bone-chilling laugh came from her mouth. "Hahahahaha..."
This laughter grew louder and louder. Even her sister began to notice that something was wrong and subconsciously moved away from Jennifer.
Fisher only felt an ominous premonition growing stronger. He unconsciously looked behind Jennifer. Behind Jennifer, the huge spiral spire suddenly flashed with a red light!
This red light flashed across the surface of the spire and immediately disappeared.
In Fisher's eyes, it was as if the spiral spire was in operation at first, but as the red light flashed, the operation of the spire was suddenly shut down...
"What the hell..."
Fisher did not have time to think about the meaning of the spiral spire flashing and disappearing. He only saw that at the same time the spire seemed to close, Jennifer suddenly trembled all over!
At first, it was only a slight tremble, but as time passed, the trembling of her body became more and more intense. In the end, it was as if she had been electrocuted, and her entire body even twitched so violently that it left afterimages!
In the end, before everyone's horrified eyes, Jennifer's entire body was rapidly growing strips of red flesh and blood. These strips of flesh and blood continued to grow and spread. Finally, Jennifer directly turned into a monster that no longer had the appearance of a human. It was a monster composed of endless flesh and blood!
