under hope

"Welcome to the Holy Church Type A Vaccinator, I am Assistant Little E"

"What you will be injected with below is the 'Holy Blood' vaccine, which can resist the erosion of sand disease."

Various parameters and information about the"Holy Blood" vaccine appeared on the electronic screen for him to read.

"If confirmed, please click the Agree option."

After he finished speaking, he raised his finger and pressed the"agree" button.

"Okay, dear sir, I will start injecting you with the vaccine now."

Although there was a blind tone when the name was announced, the robotic arms quickly began to operate.

They drew some white liquid from a glass jar, and added some red powder from the other side.

After fully rotating and mixing Finally, the robotic arm with the syringe finally stretched out towards him.

The tubular needle tip pierced his arm, and injected red and white liquid into his body while he watched.

"After the injection, please do not take a shower, drink alcohol or eat spicy food for the next three days."

The syringe was slowly retracted, and along with the electronic sound reminder, the closed mechanical hatch also opened.

"Phew——, it’s done."

He breathed a long sigh of relief and walked out of the vaccination area.

"Strange, is there no one in the hospital today?"

The corridor was silent, only his own footsteps and gentle breathing could be heard.

"hiss——"

"Um? what sound?"

He seemed to hear the roar of the beast, and it sounded like it was not far ahead.

"There will never be a lion coming to see a doctor."

He was joking to himself and striding indifferently.

"Eh? Blood? A certain patient's? Forget it, never mind it."

The pool of blood at the entrance of the corridor stairway only attracted him for a short while.

Before the advent of the vaccine, you had to wear protective clothing with limited mobility when going out of the city, but after getting the vaccine, you can travel unimpeded in the wind and sand.

He is A pioneer, he came to get vaccinated to facilitate movement.

Unlike other countries, the pathogens in the Theocracy use wild beasts as hosts, and if bitten by those wild beasts, you will be infected with sand disease.

However, these beast-turned-monsters have a red color in their bodies. The darker the crystal, the more valuable it is.

This crystal has very good medicinal properties. The powder added to the vaccine just now is ground from this crystal.

He is a pioneer and makes a living by hunting sand beasts and collecting crystals. In fact, there are many pioneers in various cities in the Theocracy.

Without the constraints of protective clothing, he can move more quickly, and the sand beasts will definitely be handled more smoothly!

While thinking this, he waved a few vigorously into the air. Put down your fists, full of energy

"Hiss-ha, hiss-ha——"

Someone seemed to be breathing heavily in front of me. Listen carefully, and there seemed to be the sound of chewing something.

"Who is eating so loudly?"

He yelled angrily in his heart and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

However, a scene of corpses strewn across the field soon appeared in front of him.

"How is this going?"

He was still in a daze.

In the medical hall, various corpses were lying in various directions. Some were even receiving infusions, but unfortunately their throats were torn.

A thin monster was squatting in front of a corpse, with slender hands. He kept pulling at something.

He swallowed, reached for the serrated knife at his waist with his right hand, and slowly approached the monster.

The saw teeth could tear the skin of the sand beast faster, and such a thin guy probably wouldn't even need it. The upper sawtooth side

"Okay, let me think about it next, how should I ask for compensation from the government."

Already almost touching the monster's back, he silently pulled out the serrated knife and turned it to the edged side.

"go to hell!"

He slashed the blade out with great force, but the result was beyond his expectation.

The blade was stuck.

The monster's flesh seemed to have suction, and his knife was stuck.

The monster raised its head, and he He decisively gave up his beloved knife and took several steps back to distance himself.

"OMG, so big?"

The monster stretched out its body. It was visually estimated that it was two or three meters long. It had sharp claws and fangs, and a ferocious mouth.

He could not see the monster's eyes, and the monster no longer moved its head, but just stared blankly. in place

"I have to get my knife back, use that one, there's no one around anyway."

He took out a long object wrapped in canvas on the back and tore a small opening at the front end.

This was a rivet gun he had modified privately. According to regulations, he had to hand it over, but he hid it.

"Let’s see how you suck now!"

He pulled the trigger and shot several steel nails at the monster.

Although he staggered a few times, it didn't seem to cause much damage to the monster, and in fact angered it.

The monster opened its huge mouth towards him, The four slender arms and legs crawled on the ground very fast, as if they were twitching.

He no longer cared about whether the rivet gun was illegal, he just threw it towards the monster, then turned around and ran away

"What the hell is this!"

He was running wildly, and the monster was chasing after him, and the distance between him and him was getting shorter and shorter.

Suddenly, he tripped over something and his whole body flew forward.

"It’s over!"

He exclaimed inwardly.

The monster quickly ran over and bit his neck, and held down his limbs with its claws.

"damn it!"

He couldn't exert any strength, and could only let the monster tear open the back of his neck.

His eyes suddenly became dark. After an unknown amount of time, he reluctantly opened his heavy eyelids, and there was a taste of rust in his mouth. It must have been... blood on neck

"Holy Emperor, I am still alive."

He felt lucky to his tenacious vitality. The monster seemed to have left, and he might be able to crawl out. However

, the weakness of his limbs soon made him realize that this was almost impossible.

Shouting for help might attract the monster, so he could only Are you waiting to die?

Thinking about it, he found that his neck was still bleeding, and he would definitely die from excessive blood loss in the end.

Alas, he hadn’t had much experience with women, and he was afraid he would never taste the taste of women’s lips in his life. Not anymore.

He thinks he looks pretty good, but now, he can only recall the contents of the magazine

"Ah, that singer's swimsuit is always so charming."

The fantasies in his mind seemed to consume a lot of his energy. He felt that his eyelids were very heavy.

"Reached? die."

He smiled bitterly in his heart

"Um? what is that? spider?"

In a daze, he seemed to see a six-legged creature as big as a cat crawling towards him.

"Funny, there is no such a big spider."

He entertained himself in his mind, and finally closed his eyes completely.

Before his consciousness fell silent, he seemed to feel his body moving, and he didn't know anything after that.

Several mechanical spiders carried him all the way out of the hospital, They walked through the streets and alleys, avoiding the monsters on the streets.

Finally, they stopped in front of a workshop.

The lead spider knocked on the iron door with its forelimbs, and the door opened in response, and a man in a dress walked out. female

"Um?"

Looking at the blood-stained man in front of her, she tilted her head in confusion.

"Chi Chi, Chi Chi Chi."

The leading spider made a strange electronic sound, as if it was explaining something.

"Ah, so that's it, she will be happy, come in quickly."

The woman suddenly realized and made way for the spiders.

After all the spiders entered the house, she closed the iron door heavily.

The spiders put the man on the ground and dispersed chattering.

The woman caressed her gently. The man had a wound on his neck and said in a somewhat surprised tone:

"He still has breath! Maybe he can actually be a big step."

He began to regain consciousness, and his sense of touch was the first to return, because he felt someone stroking his hair.

Followed by his sense of smell.

He smelled a very fragrant smell. This was the smell of Monroe's perfume, which was popular all over the country. Brand.

Finally, vision.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful face with a round face and a small mouth.

"Am I lying on the lap of a beautiful woman?"

This perspective made him feel a little moved. This was the first time he had been treated like this.

"Ah, you wake up, pioneer."

The female voice made him a little disappointed. Although it was so beautiful, it was a standard electronic sound.

He quickly sat up and looked around.

This was a workshop, and there were various tool tables and large boxes in the room. He Sitting on the only sofa in the house

"Where is this place?"

He stood up and touched his waist while asking the female robot

"This is a workshop west of the Theocracy's capital. It's very safe, you can rest assured."

The woman also stood up and introduced him in standard official terms.

"Hell, even the knife I hid was taken away?"

He cursed in his heart when he felt nothing.

However, he noticed that the appearance of the female robot was the same as that of the old doll, with obvious connecting lines at each joint.

He also noticed that behind the sofa was a staircase that looked like What else is there on the upper level?

"What is safe?"

He tried to get some information out of the female robot's mouth.

"There are monsters outside, but here is the only place that is safe."

The female robot seemed to be surprised by their question. The female robot tilted her head very strangely.

"monster? Didn’t I just get vaccinated?"

He was very confused and couldn't understand what the other party was talking about.

"This morning, a large number of man-eating monsters appeared in the Theocracy, and almost all cities fell."

The female robot was still saying unintelligible words. Seeing his disbelief, she added:

"You were in a coma for a long time and were seriously injured, but you are fine now"

"What?"

After listening to the female robot's words, he quickly lowered his head to confirm his body.

"It's really all healed! Even the trauma on the back of his neck..."

He pinched himself hard, and the unbearable pain immediately told him that this was not a dream.

"We need you, pioneers."

The female robot said to him

"It's not impossible, after all, you saved me."

He pretends to be enthusiastic on the surface, but in his heart he feels troubled as hell.

He never likes to owe favors, so he won't take the initiative to ask for help from others, but now he seems to have no choice.

"There's some coffee here. Could you please go to the convenience store and bring some back?"

The female robot continued

"ah?"

He froze on the spot.

"Is that all?"

He asked tentatively

"Yes, that's it."

The female robot's tone was quite serious and it didn't look like she was playing tricks.

"Okay, um, how much does it cost?" he asked

"No money required, you can just take it. Please bring this with you."

The female robot took out a serrated knife from the cabinet on the side and held it in front of him with both hands.

"My knife? But buying...no, just getting a coffee, it shouldn't be of any use."

He hung the knife on his waist and was ready to go out.

"Please be careful and may you find your way in the darkness."

The female robot said words like a prayer.

He waved his hand back, opened the door and walked into the vast night.
