On the night of New Year's Eve, the village was very lively. The snow-white ground was covered with red coats, and the "crackling" sounds rose and fell, echoing in the mountains. In the dark and boundless night sky, colorful fireworks bloomed, and the atmosphere of joy was everywhere.

It was the first time for Lai Fu to celebrate such a New Year, and he was not afraid of the sound of firecrackers at all. It was also the first time for Xu Yuan to see a wolf, chasing the flames after the firecrackers were lit. It was also on that night that Lai Fu got a new hairstyle, and he received loud laughter from Xu Yuan's four siblings.

"Hahaha, Lai Fu even changed the color of his hair. It's quite unique." Many people, holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands, looked at Lai Fu's dirty face and his thick hair that was burnt by the fire, and laughed.

Lai Fu probably knew that many people were laughing at him, so he barked at them and they ran and chased each other, making it very lively.

On the stove in the kitchen, a pot of chicken soup was warming, a fire was burning, and the shelves were piled with food. The four people and one wolf who made a wish were sitting by the fire, roasting themselves.

"I wonder how Brother Gu and the others are doing?" Guozi muttered suddenly while looking at the burning firewood. Thanks to Brother Gu, elder sister doesn't have to worry about firewood for the winter this year. The firewood piled up in the firewood shed will be enough to accompany them through the entire winter.

"It should be safe and smooth." Xu Yuan replied, looking out the window at the white snow.

Although it was New Year's Eve when families reunited, in Quanxiu Town, thousands of miles away, the atmosphere was solemn and there was no sense of liveliness at all.

There were small snowflakes floating in the sky like feathers. Gu Qinghan, Li Junyong and others were squatting on a small hillside, holding bows and arrows in their hands, already drawn, staring at a group of people walking stealthily in the woods below, their figures completely hidden.

In the dense forest in front of them, two teams of people were fighting. The neighing of horses and the sound of weapons seemed particularly loud in the silent night.

The situation suddenly became tense. There had been signs of change at the border some time ago, and the enemy began to stir. General Cai, who was stationed in Quanxiu Town, had already gone out with a group of soldiers to encircle the enemy, and he has not returned yet.

The deputy commander and new soldiers who stayed at the garrison were responsible for guarding the place.

Gu Qinghan, Li Junyong, several people from Hsinchu Village and some other villages with some fighting power were led by Wu Zhixue, the deputy commander's right-hand man, and ambushed here.

Gu Qinghan and others saw that the people below had come to the place where they had already ambushed. They looked at each other, and with Wu Zhixue's affirmative look, they moved in unison, raised their hands, drew their bows, aimed at the people, and started shooting arrows.

The rain of arrows suddenly swept towards the people below like raindrops.

"Damn it, there's an ambush, quickly shield yourself."

I was originally thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity, but I didn't expect that others also had a backup plan.

Those people began to take up shields to block the sudden rain of arrows. The dense rain of arrows gradually made them unable to resist, and they fell to the ground one by one after being pierced by the arrows.

It was not the first time for Gu Qinghan, Li Junyong, and Feng Juesheng to kill a living person. Thinking back to the chaos in North City, when they had killed crazy people, and all the things they had experienced along the way, they knew that they would not be able to survive here without taking action. They had long been accustomed to it. On the other hand, the other few people had only slaughtered chickens and ducks in normal times, and had never really killed anyone. They were still a little trembling, but they also knew that this was no different from going to the battlefield, it was either you live or I, there was no room for mercy, and even if their hands were shaking, they had to shoot the arrows.

After a while, the originally neat team was unexpectedly dispersed. Some people had already started to escape in the chaos, but Gu Qinghan did not give them a chance. The rain of arrows seemed to have eyes on those people's bodies, shooting straight towards their hearts.

The white snow was soon stained with blood.

Wu Zhixue was quite satisfied with the first operation of these new recruits, especially the two young men who were relatively outstanding in appearance in the team. The others were of course good as well. In the military camp where all the new recruits were rough men, it was very pleasing to the eye. It was a pity because I heard that they were all married.

Seeing that the group of people had been wiped out, Wu Zhixue prepared to leave here and go to the forest ahead to provide support.

What no one expected was that those who were lying dead on the ground actually crawled up from the ground again in the blink of an eye. Their faces and expressions were stiff, and their bodies were twisted wildly with the wounds piercing their hearts. Then they walked forward with their heads hung down.

As the cold wind swept the snowflakes down, the beast-like roars reached the ears of Gu Qinghan and the others.

"Oh my God, is that a zombie?" exclaimed a fat and strong man in the team.

Wu Zhixue took a look, frowned, waved his hand, and hurried down the hillside with his men. It would be easy to deal with if those people were resurrecting from the dead, but the problem was that it was not as simple as resurrecting from the dead. They could bite people, and not only would they bite people, but they would also make the people they were bitten become neither human nor ghost. They were extremely aggressive, even more powerful than those who had the plague. If they had not appeared so suddenly, how could they suddenly recruit soldiers into the army and threaten that they did not need those rich kids who could not lift their hands or feet, but those farmers who worked in the fields all year round. There were many scholars among them, but now it seems that scholars should not be underestimated.

"You all have to be careful. Don't get bitten by them. Tie them up one by one. Don't leave any one behind." Wu Zhixue said in a serious tone.

"Yes." Everyone took the order and began to disperse and chase after those people.

The same thing happened in the dense forest not far ahead. When Cai Yangshu saw the people in front of him suddenly change, his eyes changed drastically. Then he gave an order and the remaining officers and soldiers quickly formed a big circle, surrounding those who had already mutated in the middle. Everyone took out a shriveled vine branch in his hand and quickly took out a fire starter from his arms to light it.

Cai Yangshu looked at those things that could no longer be called human, his eyes full of anger. It was all because of that damn old thief from An Si Kingdom. Why couldn't he come up with such a thing that harms people? It makes people unable to rest in peace after death. He is simply a beast.

They had no way to deal with these people before, but this time it was different. Even God couldn’t stand it anymore and let those in high positions get the good news.

As long as these vines grow all over the border area, this brutal war should be alleviated.

He hopes this day will come sooner.
