Chapter 67: Kugath, the Father of Plague (I)
[You don't have time to react. ]
[You are surrounded by several figures. ]
[Another medical staff member points his auspicious instrument and a laser pistol at your head at the same time.]
[You remained calm and did not behave irrationally.]
[You stare at the green light emitted by the auspicious instrument, and hear the low hum of the instrument.]
["Damn it, he's fine, not infected… Charles, your Auspero machine spirit is unhappy and needs to be appeased." The medical staff took back the laser pistol and turned around to complain. ]
[The medical staff member named Charles lowered his head to check the instrument in his hand, and then made a helpless gesture to you.]
[You breathe a sigh of relief.]
[You don't want to experience the thrilling death of having a laser pierce your brain. ]
["Sorry, soldier, my question…" Charles, who had checked the equipment, apologized to you.]
[You accept the other party's apology and carefully ask about the current situation. ]
["The war is still going on…" Charles, wearing a mask, sighed vaguely, and raised his hand to point at your clothes. "You Cadians suffered even more casualties…"]
[You look down.]
[You find yourself wearing the uniform of a Cadian Blitzkrieg soldier.]
[You wanted to ask more questions, but found that the medical staff named Charles had left in a hurry.]
[You subconsciously looked at where the other person was running. ]
[More than a dozen battered Valkyrie transport planes descended from the sky, bringing back more wounded.]
[In the first week, your injuries have already healed. ]
[You obtained basic information through exchanges and communication with other soldiers. ]
[You learned that a fierce battle for the planet Yax is underway.]
[The terrifying Plague Alliance attacked this garden planet through the cracks in the warp, determined to drag it completely into the territory of Chaos.]
[You want to rejoin the fight. ]
[Your unauthorized actions were stopped by medical staff. ]
["Can you please take other people's feelings into consideration? Do you think you are the only one willing to sacrifice your life for the Emperor? Can you change anything by going to the battlefield alone?" Old acquaintance Charles criticized your reckless behavior. ]
[He advises you to go back and wait. ]
[It will take time for the injured soldiers to recover their morale and for the troops to be reorganized.]
[You try to convince the other party to include you in the reorganized troops in advance.]
[You were forcibly injected with sedatives.]
[You have entered a coma.]
[You seem to have accidentally entered a hazy fantasy. ]
[You are walking alone in the wilderness shrouded in thick fog. ]
[You breathe in the humid air and subconsciously tighten your grip on the laser gun.]
[You glance back and forth at the barren scenery in front of you that remains unchanged.]
[The soles of your shoes are treading on a never-ending muddy road.]
[Your consciousness gradually falls into a special state of confusion.]
[At this moment, you seem to hear waves of strange, low, and sickening ethereal singing.]
["Oh, Kugas, good… Kugas, wonderful… Kugas's medicine spoon is amazing…"]
[The ethereal singing coming from all directions seems to break through your eardrums and pierce deep into your brain. ]
[You will never forget it...]
[At the same time, the thick fog covering the void wilderness gradually thinned.]
[You have broken free from your special state of confusion. ]
[You are completely awake. ]
[You turn your gaze and look in the direction of the song. ]
[A few kilometers away, in the ruins of a dilapidated hospital. ]
[A rotten body as fat and huge as a hill stood there. ]
[It was also wearing a humanoid protective suit that seemed to be made of countless human skins. ]
[Its fat and terrifying body swayed slightly, and Nurglings trying to climb up kept falling from its exposed greasy surface.]
[And every time a companion falls, the Nurglings will laugh. ]
[The terrifying figure with horns on its head hummed a nightmarish tune slowly. It continuously took the stinking poisons handed over by the nearby plague bearers and threw them out casually.]
[And right in front of it, an even older, gigantic crucible that seemed to contain the meaning of the decay of all things kept emitting streams of terrifying green poisonous mist.]
[The smelly pus that was almost surging out continued to roll and expand, and the bubbles that were squeezed out burst one after another. ]
[Occasionally a drop of sticky pus splashes from the edge of the pot. ]
[It will leave a charming green trail in the air and fall onto the nearby wasteland. ]
[This also caused the plague zombies that kept pouring into the bottom of the huge crucible, willing to serve as firewood and burn themselves, to let out painful howls that went deep into their bones.]
[Even if they were only slightly affected by the sticky pus, their rotten bodies were quickly dissipating, completely annihilated.]
[You stared at those bizarre and horrifying scenes, and it seemed that you even forgot how to breathe.]
[You fell into a trance. ]
[At the same time, the laser blade in your hand seems to emit an excited hum.]
[You gradually come back to your senses.]
[You are slightly stunned.]
[The gun in my hand, which was made of metal, came alive. ]
[The warm touch, like that of flesh, also makes you feel creepy for a moment. ]
[You threw away the laser gun that had grown a mouth and nose and was desperately breathing. ]
[You want to turn around and run away from here. ]
[However, your clothes have also grown colorful mushrooms and strange and beautiful plants and flowers. ]
[You seem to be in a state of uncontrollable panic. ]
["Well, little brother, why are you afraid of Kugas?" The nightmare-like singing voice stopped humming at some point.]
[The fat figure in the distance that looks like a small mountain looks at you with interest. ]
[At the same time, Nurglings, laughing non-stop, surge towards your position like a tide.]
[You don't even have time to struggle before you are completely wrapped up by the sticky Nurglings.]
[Your head is the only thing left exposed.]
[A myriad of mixed rotten smells quickly fill your nasal cavity, irritating your nerves and washing your soul...]
[Then, you seem to be wearing a set of fully automatic armor made of Nurglings. ]
[Accompanied by the laughter of the Nurglings. ]
[You staggered towards the terrifying fat figure not far away.]
["Although this is the first time we have met, I have also heard my father talk about you, my little brother…" The terrifying figure with horns subconsciously waved the spoon stained with deadly pus, and countless plague zombies were annihilated. ]
["I am the Plague Father, Kugath." Its voice suddenly became melancholy.]
Available tomorrow.
I don't have any manuscripts saved, so I can only see how much I can write by staying up late at night.
