Chapter 21: The Siege of the Corpses (1)

The jailer received an order to escort the royal priest to the inner hall of the city lord's mansion.

"Sir, the prisoner is here!" said the jailer.

"Well, that's good, you go down and get the reward!" Nangong Pu sat in the seat of Zhang Chengping in front of him.

The jailer was happy and thanked, "Thank you, sir." ”

As soon as the jailer left, a soldier beside Nangong Pu shouted: "See, Lord of the City, don't kneel down yet!"

"In my life, I have only given one person to kneel, and that is the master who raised me. Kneel on him....", said the king, "why!"

The soldier was just about to speak, but Nangong Pu raised his hand to stop him and said, "This person is a little arrogant and capable, so it's okay if you don't kneel." ”

Nangong Pu left his seat, walked towards Jun Sai, looked at him face to face, and said, "The three-day deadline has expired, and I haven't received any news of anyone dying. ”

Jun Sai looked outside, the sun was setting, and then he said: "My lord, there is still half a moment, and after waiting for half a quarter of time, it is not too late for you to ask me!"

Nangong Pu smiled, "Hahaha", and said: "Okay! I'm giving you half a quarter of time, because this half a quarter of time can't stop me and kill you" Instantly, Nangong Pu's deep voice sounded in his ears: "You say, how should I kill you, should I behead you, or hang you?" Do you have any opinions, can you tell me the method you want to die the most?"

Jun Sai nodded, "If you let me go, I'll tell you," he replied.

"Haha, it's a dream. Nangong Pu returned to his seat, holding his chair in his hand.

"No, you will. "Jun Sai Dao.

At this moment, a soldier in armor, covered in blood, ran in a panic and shouted, "Report!"

Nangong Pu was quite puzzled when he saw his soldiers, covered in blood, so he asked, "What's the matter with you?"

The bloodied soldier: "Great.... People, no... All right. City.... West of the city"

Nangong Pu said angrily: "Say it quickly!"

"To the west of the city, under the cliffs of dead wood, more than a dozen villages were slaughtered. Moreover, there are a large number of corpses! They bite when they see people, and they eat when they see people!"

"What!" Nangong Pu was startled, and his body had already stood up.

"More than half of our army has been killed or wounded, and some of our brothers have also become corpses, and I am afraid that there are hundreds of corpses now. ”

Nangong Pu broke out in a cold sweat, he never expected that he had just taken over the city lord, and there were countless casualties, if the above knew, he was afraid that the city lord would not be long in coming.

But if he conceals it and doesn't report it, the responsibility for the crime is even greater, and his position as the imperial historian of the Law Enforcement Division will not be guaranteed.

"Lao Chen, write a letter to the Lord of the Main City, telling me about the situation here"

The soldiers beside Nangong Pu hesitated: "My lord, don't you think about it?"

"Don't think about it, it's better to tell the Lord of the Main City as soon as possible, so that at least I won't lose my position in the Main City. ”

"Okay, I'll go write a letter. ”

Nangong Pu looked at Jun Sai, and also remembered the conversation just now, and clenched his fists, "I didn't expect you to count." ”

Jun Sai looked at Nangong Pu and said, "Then you can let me go." ”

"Let it go, I've changed my mind now, and when I settle this matter, I'll let you go again," Nangong Pu said.

"You don't have a good reputation!" Jun Sai was slightly angry.

"Yes. I won't be trustworthy, what can you do to me!haha"

Nangong Pu approached Jun Sai and said, "You are a criminal, I am an official." ”

Jun Sai looked back coldly: "Okay, you are guilty of me as an official." However, if you don't let me go, I'm sure you'll regret it. ”

"Haha, regret? joke. I Nangongpu has been crisscrossing Yunzhou for so many years, there is nothing to do, and I will regret it. ”

Nangong Pu said: "Come on!"

"Subordinate, in. The guard said.

"Bring him back to me. If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences. Nangong Pu said.

"My subordinates understand!"

The priest was then taken into the dungeon.

After that, the soldier called Lao Chen returned to the inner hall.

"My lord, the letter has been written. And sent it out with the fastest letter eagle. It is believed that it will be delivered within one day. Old Chen said.

Nangong Pu nodded, "Well, that's good! You gather the army now, and I'm going to kill all the damn corpses myself." ”

Lao Chen worried: "But, there are brothers who have been following us all the time!"

Nangong Pu grabbed Lao Chen's shoulder: "They are no longer human." Do you want to watch them continue to plague people?"

Lao Chen was silent.

"I don't want to watch my brother suffer like this. The only solution to the pain is to end them. Let them end the pain quickly," Nangong Pu said in a deep voice, his face slightly painful. He didn't want to do this, and killed his brother who had followed him for many years with his own hands.

"Now what we're doing is sending troops. Catch those behind the scenes and kill them, so as to calm the people's hearts. Otherwise, fear in the heart will plunge the entire city into death. Nangong Pu persuaded Lao Chen.

"I, Chen Tianyuan, want to avenge my brother!"

Chen Tianyuan is Nangong Pu's right-hand man, who has followed Nangong Pu for ten years and is the most trusted person in Nangong Pu.

"Okay! Lao Chen, you gather the army now, I will go into battle to kill the enemy."

"Okay, I'll do it. ”

West of the city, Deadwood Cliff, White Deer Town.

Here, corpses are strewn all over the field, wailing endlessly. If someone stands on a high place, you can see that above this White Deer Town, there is a mass of corpse qi that cannot be dissipated for a long time.

The only surviving old people, women and children hid in a secret place in fear to survive.

Because they know that as soon as they go out, they will be bitten to the point of no bones and blood.

Those corpses will also feel the anger of the living to judge which direction there are people.

Several women, children, and elderly people didn't dare to breathe, but kept ventilating at intervals.

A three-year-old child in the arms of a surviving woman said, "Mother, I'm afraid. ”

The woman whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid of the child, we will be fine." ”

An old man hurriedly said, "Don't talk, those brutes should know where we are." ”

"Shh......h

The distorted body, the hideous and terrifying appearance, the body has a red thick liquid, rotten skin, maggots climbing, sunken eyes, white and slightly rolling. That's when the survivors saw the horror of the corpses.

"Don't make a sound, those brutes are out there. The woman said.

By this time, it was already dark.

Nangong Pu led this army of 1,000 people to Bailu Town.

White Deer Town, in front of the town entrance.

Nangong Pu dismounted and looked around, the pungent smell of blood filled the air, and with every breath, that strong smell of blood would be inhaled.

Chen Tianyuan came to Nangong Pu's side and said, "My lord, this smell is a little unpleasant, I see that the brothers are a little unwell. ”

"Where did you come from so many things, everyone lit torches for me. Find someone to show me this town," Nangong Pu roared.

"Yes"

Even those who have been on the battlefield will inevitably be affected by the strong smell of blood.

A team of men and horses was left at the entrance of the town, and the rest followed behind Nangong Pu and Chen Tianyuan.

With torches in one hand and weapons in the other, everyone walked slowly.

In the dark, the surprisingly quiet will inevitably make people's hearts chill and creepy.

Nangong Pu also felt that this Bailu Town was quiet and terrifying, and ordered: "Everyone, keep in formation." If you notice the situation, tell me immediately. ”

A warrior like Nangong Pu must be cautious, let alone a soldier.

Some soldiers who had not experienced life and death crept around with their hands and feet, sweating profusely, swallowing saliva violently, and their arms trembling slightly.

Seeing the soldiers around him like this, Chen Tianyuan reprimanded: "What are you cowardly? There are adults here, what are you afraid of." ”

"Yes..... Yes".

There are hundreds of people living in Bailu Town, but not a single house is lit. The soldiers did not dare to enter and inspect alone, and only walked around the house.

At this moment, one of the soldiers was frightened and howled: "Ahhhhhh

Nangong Pu heard the sound and left.

At first glance, it was a dried corpse with no flesh and blood, with a hideous face and a miserable death.

"My lord, this is the first one we've found here. Chen Tianyuan said.

Nangong Pu squatted down, carefully looked at the dried corpse, and concluded: "This is the blood that has been sucked dry and the internal organs of the body have been removed." There is more than one body like this", standing up, Nangong Pu said: "Everyone, come to look for it separately to see if there are any survivors." ”

"Yes"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier shouted, "My lord, there is a corpse here."

Then another soldier shouted, "My lord, there is more."

"My lord, I found out too. ”.....

Half a quarter later.

At this moment, suddenly there was a noise in a house.

Nangong Pu threw a torch over, and dozens of torches flew over, and the surroundings of the house suddenly lit up.

"What person!" Chen Tianyuan shouted.

In the dilapidated house, a wooden bucket of water was dumped, and the water was scattered all over the ground, and several people, all old women, and children, came out of the tunnel under the barrel. The old men, women and children thought it was dawn, but they did not know that there were a thousand people in front of them.

Chen Tianyuan drew his sword and stood and said, "Who are you?"

An old woman said, "We are survivors of White Deer Town. ”

"Survivors?" Chen Tianyuan was still a little wary, afraid of being turned into a corpse.

Nangong Pu gave Chen Tianyuan a gesture, and Chen Tianyuan put down the knife in seconds, and reassured: "We are from the city to exterminate the corpses." ”

The woman gave a "tom" and knelt down.

"My lord, you must kill those beasts. We, the people of White Deer Town, are ......"

Before the woman could finish speaking, there was suddenly no quiet.

"Ah........ Roar ......."

This low and frightening voice came from all directions. And the sound is getting closer.

Nangong Puton felt bad and shouted, "Everyone, be alert." ”

The outermost soldier's shield was horizontal, like an iron wall, and the soldier behind him threw some torches in all directions to illuminate the surroundings.

The torches fell to the ground, and the surroundings were bright.

The roar drew closer, and the corpse appeared in everyone's eyes.

The surviving women, children, and elderly were surrounded by the army.

"Archer, release the arrow!" Nangong Pu gave an order, and all the archers smeared the arrows with fire oil and set them on fire.

In an instant, countless fire feather arrows rushed into the night sky and shot in the direction of the corpse.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Some of the feathered arrows directly pierced the corpse's body, head, and neck. However, it did not affect in the slightest. On the contrary, it provoked the steps of the corpse to move forward.

Nangong Pu saw that these corpses were simply beyond ordinary people, and the rocket drops had no effect, and it seemed that they could only fight with knives.

"The five of you take these old men, women, and children and leave. Give me the rest of the people and cut off their heads for me!" Nangong Pu said.

Chen Tianyuan said: "Kill me!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, the five soldiers fled with the elderly, women and children.

The shield wall formed by the soldiers quickly expanded, rushing towards the corpses.

Chen Tianyuan rushed into the group of corpses with a big knife in his hand, aimed at the head of a corpse and jumped up, which was a fierce knife. In an instant, the corpse was split in half.

"Haha, that's so cool. "Chen Tianyuan's martial arts realm is a medium-term strength, and a mere corpse is naturally not a problem.

Immediately, Chen Tianyuan seemed to be very happy, shouting and slaughtering, and in half an instant, there were already twenty or thirty corpses dead under his hands.

It's just that he suddenly felt as if the corpses were coming to them in a steady stream.

Chen Tianyuan's big knife took advantage of the situation to pick one up, and quickly came to Nangong Pu's side, panting: "My lord, why are there more and more of these corpses." I'm afraid, there are hundreds. ”

Nangong Pu shattered the corpse man who pounced on him beside him with a palm, and turned around and said, "Not only that, but the corpse people who are coming in are stronger than the corpses we killed before. ”

At this point, a corpse with a big mouth came and flew to Nangong Pu.

Chen Tianyuan exclaimed: "My lord, be careful!"

A large knife was thrown, and the corpse man was extremely agile and dodged in an instant. But Chen Tianyuan was exposed in front of the corpse.

Chen Tian was far from reacting, and was thrown to the ground. The corpse man bit Chen Tianyuan's arm. The arm instantly turned purple and black, and began to fester.

Nangong Pu said angrily: "Brute, look at the move."

"Great Heavenly Burning Jade Hand!"

I saw that a ball of true qi in Nangong Pu's palm quickly grew larger, turning into a phantom giant hand, which was as big as five zhang.

Pinched the corpse and threw it twenty meters away.

Nangong Pu saw that Chen Tianyuan's arm was purple and black, lifted the big knife, and immediately cut off Chen Tianyuan's arm.

"Ah!", Chen Tianyuan shouted in pain, blood all over the ground, and he fainted in pain.

The arm festered and corroded at a rate visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, only bones remained.

Nangong Pu was shocked when he saw the flying corpse man standing up on the spot, "This is the corpse general!"

"Everyone, retreat!"

With an order, the originally slightly neat team collapsed at this moment and fled for their lives.

"Damn, you forced me!" Nangong Pu said angrily: "Lao Tzu, give you a ride." ”

All the soldiers retreated one by one, and Nangong Pu was broken.

"Pai Yun Palm"

Luck enough true qi and slap it with all your might.

This palm is fierce and powerful.

Nangong Pu took advantage of the wind to stop, slightly blocking the speed of the corpse's march, carrying Chen Tianyuan on his back, and leaving at night.

This night was not peaceful.
