Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 442 [Tree Heart] 11

"Ugh! It stinks!"

The people who were digging the body vomited because of the stench. Deng Rencheng, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but change his expression and covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

Even so, Deng Rencheng saw the body first.

Deng Rencheng had seen many, many corpses. Or rather, in this world of war, there were few people who had not seen corpses: corpses of the recently deceased, corpses piled up in mass graves, or those disgusting, hideous corpses of enemies piled up outside the city gates...

But no corpse was as smelly, rotten, and even...horrible as this one here.

"……die……"

For a moment, Deng Rencheng seemed to see the corpse sitting up, its dilated bluish-white pupils staring at him, its highly decayed face revealing blood-white texture, and fat, twisted worms wriggling out of its eye sockets.

Deng Rencheng regained consciousness and saw the corpse lying quietly in the half-dug soil. When it saw the sunlight, the soft, white skin bulged out. The next second, a bunch of maggots jumped out from the mouth, nose and other holes.

Fortunately, the people who dug up the bodies knew this and were very agile in dodging the maggots that would pounce on people's faces when exposed to light.

"Ugh... It's so disgusting. Aren't they afraid of getting the plague? Where did they find such a highly decomposed corpse?" The people who were digging the corpse were so disgusted that they quickly tore some cloth from their clothes to cover their mouths and noses. If there was lime, they would have wanted to sprinkle some around.

"As expected of you, Captain! You saw through the conspiracy of these idiots at a glance. Even hiding underground in such a covert way, you were able to find them. You are truly wise and brave..."

"So, this tree with the dead buried in it isn't auspicious anymore. What a trick! But our captain still has the better plan!"

"Alright, alright," Deng Rencheng waved his hand. These guys who hadn't even read a few books were praising him in the same way. His ears were almost getting calluses from listening to them so much!

"Swiss, swish -"

The banyan tree above made a sound in the wind, but no one paid any attention.

Feng Lan also fell silent. She really underestimated human imagination.

Although these people's deduction process was completely wrong, the result was correct.

But in this case, Deng Rencheng could only give up this banyan tree king with regret.

He and Master Hong did not believe in these superstitions. After all, if there really were gods and ghosts, the first person to suffer would probably be Marshal Ge. The soldiers under his command had done a lot of evil in Huicheng, as had the invaders.

Deng Rencheng thought of the news from the north, and his smile faded a little. Maybe one day it would be Huicheng's turn.

"Fill the soil back first, and be careful," Deng Rencheng thought about it, but he had to ask Master Hong what to do in the end. He was very clear about his identity. He could give advice on this kind of thing, but he could not make a decision without going through Master Hong.

A few people came and went. Without people, the animals that had been hiding somewhere came out from various places again. Feng Lan also slowly sank into meditation and practiced quietly.

A few days passed peacefully like this. Liu Qi rarely showed up during the day and told Feng Lan a bad news with a very bad look on his face.

"The white snake has been caught!" Liu Qi scratched his cheeks. "It rarely leaves that stream. I passed by there today and found that it was gone!"

"Maybe it changed its place to rest?"

Liu Qi shook his head. "It's been lying in that river for hundreds of years without moving. Even during the drought over a hundred years ago, it didn't leave when it was discovered. Instead, it dredged the stream. How could it suddenly leave now without a sound?"

"What's more," Liu Qi said solemnly as he pulled out a few broken snow-white scales and a burnt yellow talisman that was left with only a few bits of it from the fur, "I found these, so a Taoist must have captured the white snake!"

"How far is that stream from here?" Feng Lan was not as angry as Liu Qi. She asked Liu Qi a seemingly irrelevant question.

"It's a bit far, separated by several mountains." Liu Qi's emotions were interrupted, and he felt a little relieved and answered Feng Lan's question. He came here this time to get more helpers. After all, the white snake with the highest cultivation level had been captured by humans, and the fox and the deer with grass were helping. He was a weak, pitiful and helpless little monkey who was alone outside, and it was a bit dangerous. Compared with the dying old cat, the gifted banyan tree spirit naturally looked more capable!

Feng Lan had no objection to Liu Qi's idea of ​​forming a group. She couldn't move now. Liu Qi had a good ability to hide, a clear mind, and knew more than ordinary animals. Being her eyes was a better choice at the moment.

"No need to look for it. Since the White Snake has the highest level of cultivation, the humans who captured it must have come prepared. Otherwise, it's just a few hills, so they wouldn't have heard anything at all."

Feng Lan's Muzhu in the city also heard some noise, but he did not go into the homes of Mr. Liu, Mr. Hong, and Marshal Ge.

Because there were talented people in the families of these three people, her first eyeball entered Ge Dashuai's house, and was soon discovered by a long-haired man wearing a polka-dot suit.

Feng Lan didn't see much, but she heard some news. As for the study room in Marshal Ge's house, which was the most heavily guarded, she had never even seen it.

Huicheng is far away. Although Feng Lan's mental strength supports it, the body of this banyan tree is still too weak. Feng Lan doesn't want the other eye bead to be damaged again, so he can only wander around other places in Huicheng.

Liu Qi was not stupid either. He understood what Feng Lan meant, and for the rest of the time he obediently limited his activities to the vicinity of the banyan tree.

Feng Lan also felt the urgency of the situation. She instructed Liu Qi to set up a concealment formation around her to cover up any movement nearby. At least the movement on the hill where Feng Lan was located could not be seen from a distance, and the big tree that glowed at night could not be seen unless one walked in.

Then, Feng Lan took out a low-grade spirit stone with very little spiritual energy left from the space. She had a premonition that she was about to break through the second level of Qi Refining in this world.

But things don't always go as planned, no matter whose wishes it is.

On a moonlit night, Feng Lan woke up from her practice and felt the earth shaking.

The woods rustled, making a rustling sound in the night.

More than fifty kilometers away from Fenglan, on the only dirt road leading to Huicheng, military vehicles carrying countless people drove silently towards Huicheng.

Feng Lan subconsciously released a few eyes to follow.

In addition to the manned military vehicles, Feng Lan also saw slowly moving armored tanks and military supplies at the back of the team. In the middle of the team, there were several black cars that looked out of place. The curtains were drawn, and Feng Lan could not see what was inside.

But the target of this army is very clear, it is Huicheng, and the purpose of the army's advance at night can also be guessed, it is a night attack.

Huicheng, I’m afraid we won’t be able to wait for a harmonious and peaceful tomorrow.

No matter who was planning what before, now, everything has been disrupted by this sudden battle.

It was early in the morning, when the sky was just getting light. This was the time when the soldiers defending the city were the most sleepy. The headlights on the city gates, after illuminating all night, also seemed a little dim under the eastern sky.

"Bam—"

A gunshot broke the silence.

A soldier on the city gate was hit by a bullet and fell backward.

The other soldiers reacted and someone immediately sounded the siren.

"Enemy attack——"
