I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 244: Malicious Cave
At first everyone thought Grey was talking nonsense and pretending to be calm, but when she actually took action, everyone fell silent.

Under Grey's command, the survivors were divided into two areas for isolation based on whether they were infected or not.

In the church's understanding, pollution exists like an infectious disease, and even if everyone is exposed to pollution, they should be quarantined.

Anyone who comes into contact with an infected person must take precautions.

For a saint like Gray, she can protect herself with divine magic alone, but this is also limited in time.

In a land far away from the Church, the efficiency of the "holy" priests' divine power replenishment will be greatly reduced, so Gray cannot use her divine power as freely as usual.

Gray, who should have been saving her divine power, consumed more of it than usual because she had to rescue the infected.

It just so happens that the pollution from the dead fetuses of black goats is extremely stubborn and is also an unknown pollution, so it will take more divine power to clean it up.

When Wyatt was trapped in the Death Mountains at the age of thirteen, he did not have a deep understanding of pollution. In his opinion at that time, the pollution of the stillborn black goats was just very tenacious.

Now Wyatt had a comprehensive understanding.

At the same time, he also understood that Grey had been pretending to be strong.

No living being is immune to the contamination of the Black Goat's stillborn fetus; the terror it emanates strikes everyone equally.

Thirteen-year-old Wyatt always thought that Grey was a saint, so pollution could not hurt her, but now he understood.

She was also shaking with fear.

During the evacuation, Wyatt also suffered a minor infection and was placed in the quarantine area.

Gray will prioritize treatment according to the severity of the infection, and those with serious conditions will receive treatment first.

Wyatt had the mildest symptoms, so he was treated last.

When Grey came in front of Wyatt, she still looked at ease.

Now it seems that she is just trying not to show her weak side, at least not in front of Wyatt.

As for why, in Grey's opinion, Wyatt has been with her since he entered the church, and she taught him the divine arts. He is just a little guy who she must protect.

The Holy Son and Holy Daughter are a big family. Although this is only external publicity, Gray believes so.

"Sorry little Wyatt, you must have been anxious waiting."

"No, how is Her Highness Fasilin doing?"

"Why do you care about others but not me right away? I will be sad if you do this, wuwuwu~"

I want to care about you, but...

But my body wouldn't obey.

"Okay, let's be serious in this critical moment."

"I know, I know. Don't be angry."

At this moment, Wyatt felt mixed emotions.

He is unable to express himself through body language, words or facial expressions. The limitations of his memory force him to say certain words and perform certain actions.

But for Wyatt at this moment, all of this was against his will.

The treatment for Wyatt did not take long. Grey soon completed all the necessary procedures and left the isolation area.

She didn't say what she was going to do, and Wyatt didn't know until later that she was really out searching for missing people. The members of the investigation team who were in good condition were not idle, they were trying to clear the fallen rocks that blocked the road.

Unfortunately, there were too many fallen rocks in the direction of the exit, and it was not as easy to clear as in the depths of the cave, so Gray asked them to take the time to clear a path for her.

When Gray finished treating everyone, she followed the path deeper into the cave.

Wyatt followed Grey's instructions and rested quietly, but at this moment Wyatt knew very well that Grey was in danger.

Running around blindly in a dark and polluted cave, you must always be on the lookout for dangerous creatures, and more importantly, maintain your sanity and suppress your fear.

She was alone and helpless, and she could only rely on herself.

In the quiet and dim environment, Wyatt felt a rare sense of peace, because there was really nothing he could do.

The only thing he could do was to count the time silently in his mind.

At 23 minutes and 46 seconds, Grey brought back the first missing person. This was also the time period when Wyatt learned that Grey was going to search and rescue while he was trapped.

He wanted to stop it at the time, but because his body had not yet fully recovered and he had difficulty moving, he was not even allowed to leave the isolation area.

At 31 minutes and 29 seconds, Grey brought back two people this time, one of whom was seriously infected, second only to Fasilin, so Grey had to treat him first.

After learning the truth, Wyatt met Grey for the first time. He wanted to ask Grey why she did that, but Grey did not respond to him.

At 34 minutes and 14 seconds, Grey returned again. After discovering that she was able to complete the search and rescue, the survivors began to beg Grey to save their companions, but no one dared to leave the safe zone to help Grey.

This time Wyatt had already climbed to the edge of the quarantine zone, and he decided to stop him even if he could only hold Grey's legs, but the survivors drove Wyatt back.

"Don't interfere with the Saint Lady. She wants to save my brother."

"Why don't you go yourself, but let a sixteen-year-old girl go, you..."

"She is the saint of the church! What a sixteen-year-old girl! She can lead a group of holy knights in Shenhui City. Don't think I don't know!"

"Yes, it is said that she may be the future Pope. She is the most powerful among us. If she doesn't go, who will? We will just die if we go."

"She is not afraid at all, and is not affected by the pollution. Your church must have given her something good. She is powerful and has good things. If she doesn't go, who will go?"

Wyatt was thrown back to the quarantine area, and even thrown to the deepest part, where the most seriously infected people were placed. There was a special person watching him at the door and he was not allowed to inform others.

Wyatt couldn't remember how long he had been held captive, but this time he knew.

13 hour, 58 minutes and 07 seconds.

Rescue arrived, and Grey also found all the missing people.

A total of 8 people were missing, none of them died, and all were pulled back from the hands of death by Grey.

Including the eight people mentioned above, a total of 19 people were infected, and no one died.

Wyatt's captivity was over and they were afraid of being caught abusing church dignitaries.

When Wyatt left the isolation area with the help of rescuers, he finally met Grey as he wished.

She had a forced smile on her face and looked just tired, but Wyatt knew exactly what was going to happen next.

It was a nightmare he would never forget in his life.

Grey has reached her limit. Her divine power is exhausted, she is plagued by pollution, and her sanity is on the verge of collapse. She is irreversibly degenerating.
