Chapter 542 Fire surrounds the forest

Feeling the warmth of the sun for the first time in a long time, Nanzhi felt that his whole body became lighter.

Shengsheng is very well-behaved. Although Mapo helps take care of the child on weekdays, there is no milk powder here, and she can't accept finding a wet nurse for Shengsheng. She usually has to get up from time to time to feed the baby, and she is really tired.

"Sister Nanzhi, you'd better go back to the house and stay there, don't get cold."

Holding Shengsheng in her arms, Shen Miaomiao even lowered her voice unconsciously.

"The sun is nice today, so you won't catch a cold."

Nanzhi squinted his eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun falling on his face.

"Sister Nanzhi, I'm a little worried. Why do you think there's no news about Twelve for so long?"

There was a bit of sadness on Shen Miaomiao's face.

Earlier, they said that they would come over with food after handling the affairs in Huaiyang, but it has been so long and they have not received even a little bit of news.

If those monsters come to Yancheng, will there be any in Huaiyang?

Worried about her husband's safety, Shen Miaomiao's face became more sad.

"It should be fine. Twelve was ordered to go on an expedition, so there won't be any major problems with the troops, horses, and food.

Huaiyang is not far from Yijiang, so nothing major will happen. Maybe if we wait a little longer, there will be news. "

Nanzhi didn't know Shen Miaomiao's worries, but she could only comfort her like this.

"Um."

Shen Miaomiao smiled and lowered her head. Shen Sheng was looking at her in confusion with her eyes open.

The little baby was so cute, her mouth was slightly open, and saliva was flowing down the corners of her mouth.

"Our life is really a cute little baby."

"Aniang, Aniang, why did you come out?"

Shen Zhiyu and Yuanbao were lying on the wall and immediately saw Nanzhi sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

"Keep your voice down."

Nanzhi felt guilty for a moment, but when he saw the two little carrots climbing up the wall again, he immediately became angry.

These two little brats were so brave that they dared to climb the wall in front of them.

"You two climbed the wall again!"

As soon as Nanzhi finished speaking, Shen Zhiyu and Yuanbao looked at each other, their faces were startled, and they quickly climbed down the wall.

"Auntie, we have to leave first if we have something to do! You, you and your brother can enjoy the sun!"

"These two naughty kids."

Nanzhi is both angry and funny. Does this mean they are taking advantage of each other?

"Zhiyu is so big."

Looking at the two dolls, Shen Miaomiao felt a little dazed.

Now, three years have passed.

"Yeah, I grew up all of a sudden."

Nanzhi shook his head, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.

In the dense forest outside the city, Shen Wenchen and his party were heading deeper into the area, following the drag marks.

The sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent mountain forest. Shen Wenchen observed the surrounding trees with a heavy heart.

He left a military order that if they did not return to the city after an hour, Liu Jie would be asked to lead people to light a fire.

There will be no problems in Yancheng at least if there is an isolation zone. As for them, they will go around and return to the city.

In short, we must deal with all those ghosts today.

Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether more monsters will appear in the future.

Never ending future troubles is the way to go.

"General, there is movement ahead!"

One person saw the trembling back not far ahead through the branches, and hurriedly whispered.

Shen Wenchen raised his hand to signal those behind him to be careful.

When he pushed aside the branches in front of him, he saw corpses and broken arms all over the ground.

The black land was soaked with blood, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of earth came to his nose, making Shen Wenchen frown subconsciously.

The monster that had been gnawing on the rotting limbs just now heard the sound and backed away warily.

The blue-grey face was stained with dark red plasma, making it look even more terrifying.

Because it had been burned by fire, the flesh on its arms had fallen off, and now only two hand bones were visible, with some black flesh residue attached to them.

The moment it saw Shen Wenchen and the others, the monster roared, threw the carrion in its hand in their direction, and then quickly got into the woods in an attempt to escape deep into the forest.

"Don't let it get away!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and in an instant, everyone pushed aside the branches and chased in the direction in which it escaped.

There were only six monsters that escaped.

They can't let anyone go.

Shen Wenchen frowned as he looked at the rotten and stinky corpse. In addition to blood stains, there was some yellow-green juice on the pieces of cloth piled up beside him.

These clothes look like those of the people in Datian Village.

Just as he was thinking with a frown, a subtle voice sounded, and Shen Wenchen turned sharply to his side. There was already an ax in the place where he was standing just now.

The monster's body was a little stiff, and the skin was dry and attached to its head, looking like decayed tree bark.

The vertical pupils turned around, and then raised his hand in Shen Wenchen's direction.

It knew that the man in front of it was the "leader" of that group of people.

As long as he is killed first, the city will be captured.

Shen Wenchen dodged again, and as the ax fell, the already precarious tree fell down, almost hitting the monster.

Shen Wenchen took out a stone from his arms and headed towards the monster's eyebrows.

Before it could react, the stone had already penetrated into its brain.

The parasite was hit hard by the stone and exploded in an instant. The monster that was alive just now lost its vitality and collapsed on the ground.

One.

Shen Wenchen glanced at the corpse at his feet, got on his horse, and headed in the direction where his men had just moved.

There are five more.

By the time he caught up, the monster just now had also been pinned to the ground.

The limbs are stiff and rotten, and they are far different from how they were when they were first discovered. Only the body shape is still the same as that of a human being.

After not eating for too long, even if the parasites are still parasitic in the brain, their biological functions have long been exhausted.

As long as they can find the remaining four quickly, they can kill them completely today.

But no matter how they searched, they found no trace of any more.

Liu Jie watched the sun gradually rise, but still saw no sign of Shen Wenchen and the others, and he couldn't help but feel anxious for a while.

"Brother Liu, the time has come."

The person on the side spoke.

"ignition!"

Liu Jie gritted his teeth. Since it was a military order issued by a general, he could not disobey it under any circumstances.

Besides, he believed in the general.

With an order, as the first bonfire was lit, the dense forest was quickly enveloped in flames.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the flames were like wild horses running wild through the mountains and forests, and the three sides outside Yancheng had become a sea of ​​fire.

The scorching temperature made the soldiers guarding the city wall feel uncomfortable.

The moat under the city was affected by the high temperature, and the fish in the water were flapping, trying to jump out of the river.

There was simply an isolation zone, and the scorching temperature did not have much impact on Yancheng.

But the thick smoke rising into the sky made the people in the city raise their hearts to their throats.
