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

Chapter 457 [Tree Heart] 26

Nighthawk is a tough opponent, especially this guy. He has the title of the best sharpshooter and has attracted countless people to come after him, but he has firmly held on to this somewhat exaggerated reputation. He is even more elusive in daily life. Even if news of him is heard and soldiers are sent to capture him, he will always dodge it, and even dodge bullets in an incredible way.

It's like a killing machine in human skin.

"Come into my territory, no matter what kind of eagle or swallow you are, if you are a dragon, coil up for me, if you are a tiger, lie down for me!"

...

"Yucheng is no different from other places." Liu Qi leaned against the window and yawned, then turned around and asked Feng Lan excitedly, "Can we go eat cream cakes today?"

"call--"

A sharp whistle sounded faintly from the other end of the street.

Feng Lan was not surprised. Liu Qi found it strange when he first saw it, but after seeing it so many times in the past few days, he felt bored and closed the window.

Outside the window, dark clouds in the distant sky were approaching Yucheng.

A pale corpse was jumping around, its bloodstained military uniform already tattered and mixed with dirt. A pair of pale hands rested on its cold and stiff shoulders. Looking back, there were countless overlapping hands, rows of shoulders, and rows of corpses.

"Ring ring ring——"

"A sinister person is borrowing the road—"

"Ring ring ring——"

"The living should avoid—"

The hand holding the bell was trembling slightly. The corpse driver walked in front with a pale face and a layer of linen wrapped around his eyes. As the team went further back, there was a corpse driver dressed similarly to him every few dozen meters.

"Ring ring ring——"

"A sinister person is borrowing the road—"

"Ring ring ring——"

"The living should avoid—"

A long winding line was filled with dead civilians, soldiers, men, women, the elderly, women, and children.

This team was formed and set out when casualties began to form in the battle of Huicheng. There were countless corpses on the battlefield, so they continued to set out when they had gathered enough. They went around the mountains and finally arrived outside Yucheng.

The actual leader of Yucheng is a staunch materialist fighter. We can get a glimpse of this from his skepticism towards the Nighthawk, who has a shady reputation. He only believes in guns and believes that with enough soldiers, nothing is invincible!

He also thought that those wandering Taoist priests who came to him to recommend him were all a bunch of monsters and ghosts. There were no gods or ghosts in this world!

"Marshal, it's been cloudy for several days, but it hasn't rained."

Du Zhongzi raised his sword-like eyebrows, and his ferocious face made the soldiers who reported shudder even after looking at it for a long time. Their commander really looked like Zhong Kui except that he had no beard!

"What's going on? Didn't this Dragon King offer three animals as sacrifices? I'm not even that extravagant, how dare he take the reward and not do the job?!"

He slammed the table again. "B---, give him three more days. If it doesn't rain, I'll bring the cannons and bombard him! I'll tear down his Dragon King Temple!"

It's no wonder Du Zhongzi got angry. It's true that it hasn't rained in Yucheng for more than a month this summer. Although the well water and river channels have not dried up, the water level measured recently has been continuously falling. If this continues, a severe drought is only a matter of time.

For this reason, Du Zhongzi heard that there was a very effective Dragon King Temple in a small village nearby, so he specially offered three animals and sacrifices. As a result, the cumulus clouds did not rain, which was simply outrageous!

Suddenly there was no news, and one thing after another added up, Du Zhongzi was very upset and even had blisters on his mouth.

"The smell of corpses is so strong." Liu Qi stood up from his practice anxiously. Moonlight came in from the half-open window, clear and bright, as if the room was filled with clear water.

Feng Lan silently turned around. As early as when she entered Yucheng, she had sent out a lot of glances and unexpectedly discovered that there were not many Taoists in Yucheng. Even the heavily guarded Marshal's Mansion in the city looked very ordinary.

This "ordinary" refers to the metaphysical aspect. There is no formation. Even if the Marshal himself has a strong murderous aura, his momentum can scare away many little ghosts. On the contrary, some shops in Yucheng still have a lot of arrangements and live with little monsters.

The leader doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but prays for rain from the Dragon King. There are also many little goblins living peacefully in the area under his rule who don't believe in ghosts. According to Feng Lan's observations in the past few days, these little goblins will even take the initiative to maintain the peace in Yucheng. One of the secretaries beside the leader is a hedgehog spirit.

What a strange combination.

For a moment, because the aura in the city was too mixed, Feng Lan couldn't be sure whether this corpse aura was released by some unhidden monster in the city, or by a dead body that had just entered the city.

Soon, Feng Lan found out.

"Ring ring ring ring——"

The sound of bells could be heard from far away and gradually approached at all four city gates.

The people in line looked curiously in the direction of the bell sound, only to see rows of corpses jumping out of the woods.

"what is that?"

"who?"

"stop!"

The crowd began to riot, and the soldiers guarding the city also saw a large group of people approaching, or rather, noticed their gray military uniforms. The only troop closest to Yucheng and wearing gray uniforms was Marshal Ge from Huicheng next door.

The soldiers behind the trench quickly closed the fence, and teams of soldiers lined up with guns, aiming directly at the gray soldiers who were approaching silently.

"Stop coming any closer! Stop coming any closer! Or we'll shoot!"

"Ring ring ring ring——"

These silent corpses jumped at the urging of the inexplicable ringing sound.

"Bam—"

Someone fired.

The bullet hit a man's chest without hesitation. There was no blood, no splattering of blood, and no wailing.

"shot!"

As the order was given, fierce gunfire began.

The queued crowd quickly entered Yucheng after a rough inspection, but something terrible happened.

Those people, those strange attackers, were not afraid of bullets. Even if they were shot in the eyebrows, chest or other fatal points, they still moved forward without stopping.

Soon, under the dense gunfire, bullets grazed the yellow talisman on his forehead, and pieces of talisman paper fell from his forehead.

"Ho-"

A long sigh was heard, a pair of eyes with dilated pupils opened, and the corpse instinctively pounced on the living person in front of it.

"what--"

As the corpses bit and tore, the poison quickly invaded the living through the wounds, and the city gate fell faster than expected.

It was hard for the originally orderly soldiers not to feel fear when faced with these soldiers who had come back from the dead. They retreated while shooting.

"Back! Back!"

"Help!"

"Ah—don't come over here!"

"Boom bang bang-"

The fences and horse bars temporarily stopped these corpses that had difficulty moving, but the bitten soldiers quickly stood up and joined the corpses in biting the living people.

After many people sacrificed their lives, the city gate locked out some soldiers and those horrible dead bodies.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Ho ho-"

"Help me—"

"Let me in! Please—ah—"

"don't want--"

Even after the gate was closed, dull knocks could still be heard from the heavy city gate. The soldiers holding the gate could even feel the vibration of the entire gate being shaken, as well as the cries for help from the last few living people outside the gate. Soon, these sounds disappeared, leaving only the terrifying roars and collisions.
