Chapter 525 Something happened
The spy left Yancheng only seven days ago. How could Xincheng be completely wiped out in just a few days?
Now that Xincheng has been reduced to ruins, where did the team that he saw just now come from?
Unless, they are the culprits who attacked Xincheng.
But they only numbered 100 people, how could they capture Xincheng?
Shen Wenchen was thoughtful, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Because Liu Jie and his men pushed down some of the rotten trees at the city gate a few days ago, the scene underneath could now be seen clearly.
A gust of wind came from nowhere.
The "forest" was blown rustling, and as the breeze blew by, Shen Wenchen only smelled a faint smell.
It's the stench unique to those rats.
As the thoughts in his heart took shape, Shen Wenchen's face became less beautiful.
If they were human beings, they could defend the city, but what if the other party was no longer a human being?
Can they really defend it?
"Light the bonfire and make it burn brighter!"
"yes!"
Piles of bonfires were lit on the city wall, surrounding Yancheng, leaving no space empty.
Those mice are afraid of fire, which is the only thing they know now.
Nothing happened all night.
When the sky was bright, the soldiers guarding the city screamed and stumbled into the camp.
"General, general! Something happened!"
Shen Wenchen was not asleep at all. When he heard someone coming in, he just stood up and sat upright.
"What's wrong?"
"Outside the city gate...General, go and have a look!"
The young soldier didn't know where to start for a while, so he could only ask Shen Wenchen to go over and check.
"lead the way."
Shen Wenchen rubbed his eyebrows, put on his coat and went out to camp together.
Climbing the city tower, I saw a few "people" lying down a hundred meters outside the city gate.
It's more like a half-broken corpse than a human being.
Some of their legs had lost all skin and flesh, with only a trace of flesh sticking to the bones of their legs.
Some were disemboweled and the contents of their stomachs were spilled all over the floor.
Some limbs only have skeletons left, and only one head can still open its mouth from time to time to show that it is not really dead yet.
It was the first time for Shen Wenchen to see such a scene.
Even on the battlefield, such cruel methods are rare.
"How is this going?"
Shen Wenchen clenched his hands tightly into fists and asked through gritted teeth.
"General, these people suddenly appeared half a quarter of an hour ago."
How could the young soldier endure this scene that Shen Wenchen had never seen before?
When he first discovered it, he had already vomited all over the floor. Now he only dared to turn sideways to answer Shen Wenchen, not daring to turn his head to look at the scene below.
"Open the city gate, I want to leave the city."
"General, we still don't know the situation outside..."
The young soldier wanted to say more, but was stopped by Shen Wenchen's cold gaze.
"yes."
The city gate was opened again, and Shen Wenchen led a few people out of the city.
"Help, help, me."
They didn't know how long they had been moaning, their eyes were dull, and they were chanting this sentence over and over again.
I hope someone can save me.
"What happened?"
Shen Wenchen had a complicated expression, looking at the "person" in front of him with unspeakable pain in his heart.
"There are, there are monsters, there are monsters, save, save, me."
"help me."
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
They repeated these words, with blood flowing under their bodies.
Looking at their pale faces due to excessive blood loss, Shen Wenchen pursed his lips tightly, but could not say a word.
These people are hopeless.
As the last person's outstretched hand dropped heavily, the surrounding area became completely silent.
"General, they are from the village!"
One of the soldiers who had gone to stay in the village recognized one of them and said in an incredible voice.
"I also recognize that, the one on the left is from Niuniu Village!"
"The one on the right is from Otamura!"
Six corpses were identified as villagers from several villages outside the city.
In other words, those things that are neither humans nor ghosts have already attacked the villages outside the city.
After sending people to collect the six corpses, Shen Wenchen returned to the city and led the people out of the city again.
The only way now is to bring all the people in the villages outside the city back to the city.
But if they really do that, as long as they attack Yancheng, no one can escape.
Maybe this was their purpose, but he could only do this.
According to the news brought back by those people, those things that do not recognize ghosts or ghosts rarely move during the day, and only act collectively at night.
Then they could only take advantage of the fact that it was daytime and quickly notify them of this matter.
Otherwise, who can guarantee that nothing will happen to other people in the village if it goes into the night!
Everyone in Datian Village has been worried all night.
Last night, several figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they kidnapped several villagers.
Chi Sheng looked at Yuanbao in Mingqin's arms and Yueyue sleeping on the table beside him, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The family finally reunited, but these things happened one after another.
He also often wonders whether he can protect them.
The third and fourth masters didn't look much better.
Long-term malnutrition coupled with high-intensity work, they have long been unable to hold on.
"Go and take a rest when you're tired."
Chi Sheng patted their shoulders and asked them to rest first.
Seeing that the two of them were serious about leaving, some people in Datian Village were unwilling.
Those tall and powerful people were all kidnapped last night. What if these two people are gone now and that ghost comes back?
Seeing that the two of them are taller, who will guard the village without them.
"Where are you going! What if you leave and those ghosts come again!"
"What to do if it's coming? Just block it if it's coming!"
The conflicts between the two sides are accumulating more and more, and they are finally about to explode.
Although the two sides were about to break up, taking into account Shen Wenchen's relationship, both sides still took turns to patrol at night.
But last night, people from Datian Village were supposed to be keeping vigil, but those people went to the end of the village to fish. If they hadn't left their posts without authorization, everyone would have discovered those ghosts as soon as they entered the village.
That way, the current tragedy would not have happened.
In addition to the few people who were kidnapped, many were also injured.
The third and fourth masters are martial arts practitioners, and they contributed the most last night.
Now I have been on duty for another night, and I can't even go back to rest.
The people in Qingfeng Village naturally stopped working.
"If your people hadn't gone AWOL, nothing would have happened last night!"
"What do you mean we are AWOL! Obviously, obviously your people live closest to the village entrance. If they hadn't slept so hard, nothing would have happened!"
The two villagers refused to give in to each other, and it seemed like they would start fighting again the next second.
