Early the next morning.

Yang Wanli and Dian Wei brought back the news again.

After midnight last night, the strange woman in the valley cried loudly, and Hao Meng's department was frightened, so he did not continue to search for the grave at night, but all returned to the camp to rest.

I didn't know that when I got up in the morning to check the numbers, just like Yang Wanli's previous experience, there were inexplicably missing two people.

Hao Meng immediately ordered people to investigate everywhere, but also found nothing.

In the end, the matter had to be settled, Hao Meng publicly designated the two disappeared soldiers as deserters, and after calming the emotions of the soldiers, he ordered the soldiers to continue to dig in various parts of the valley.

"Why are there two people every time they go missing?"

"Could it be that the tomb guards have limited manpower, and they only have the ability to kill two people silently at a time?"

"Or maybe the grave keepers don't want to go on a killing spree, so they give a small precept as a warning, just to scare off the incoming enemy?"

There are some things that you can't figure out just by thinking about them.

However, Wu Liang did not easily shake the inference that "there are grave keepers here", and only arranged for Yang Wanli and Dian Wei to go to eat and rest first, and then go to the valley at night to continue monitoring.

As for the daytime when the line of sight is better, just go to a long distance and the two of them can monitor the movements of Hao Meng's department.

Just let Yang Wanli and Dian Wei take turns.

……

The evening of the second day.

Hao Meng's department did not find the mausoleum, but as soon as it was dark, he had already returned to the camp in advance to repair.

It can be seen that the strange cry of the woman in the night and the disappearance of the two soldiers still had a certain negative impact on their morale, which made them feel a little worried.

……

Early on the third day.

Two more people from Hao Meng's department are missing, and they are still nowhere to be found.

Yang Wanli and Dian Wei still didn't see how the two people disappeared, and Yang Wanli once again published the inference of revenge from the owner of his tomb.

……

On the evening of the third day.

Nothing happened.

……

On the morning of the fourth day.

Two more people in Hao Meng's department disappeared, and some people in the army began to spread the word of ghosts.

Hao Meng ordered his subordinates to arrest the two leaders, and each of them gave ten whips in public to set an example, temporarily suppressing the ghost theory.

……

On the evening of the fourth day.

Hao Meng ordered people to tie many intricate ropes around the camp, and some light iron tools were tied to the ropes, and if someone touched the ropes at night, they would clang.

……

On the morning of the fifth day.

The iron did not sound overnight, and Hao Meng's department finally did not add any more missing people, and the army was settled.

……

……

……

Day 7.

At noon, people were carried back to the camp one after another, some of them vomiting, some of them had pulled their pants, and some of them even fainted.

The camp was a mess, full of soldiers who were weak and groaning in pain.

……

Day 8.

The situation is getting worse, and at least half of the soldiers are visually showing similar symptoms.

A small number of soldiers had already choked their breath, and Hao Meng ordered people to dig a large pit near the camp, wrap the dead in straw mats and throw them into the pit, and set them on fire.

The soldiers were so panicked that they knelt in front of Hao Meng and begged for an order to withdraw their troops.

Hao Meng was in a dilemma, but he still refused to withdraw lightly, and personally led people out of the camp to investigate, and soon found six badly decomposed corpses in the upper reaches of the creek.

These six bodies are the same soldiers who have been missing in the past few days.

The carrion was soaked in the stream, and it was tied to the trees by the stream to prevent the water from rushing downstream.

Hao Meng was furious, ordered the six carrion corpses to be pulled out and burned to ashes, returned to the camp and explained the reason to the soldiers, broke the rumors of ghosts and monsters in the army, and strictly forbade drinking raw water.

Later, he sent people to search the mountain again, but still found nothing.

……

Day 10.

The symptoms of the disease are still spreading from soldier to soldier, and more than half of the deaths have been lost.

Hao Meng was forced to move out of the camp with the soldiers who had not yet shown symptoms, and it was forbidden to have contact with the soldiers in the camp, and once someone died, he was immediately burned to prevent future troubles.

At this point, there are less than 100 people in Hao Meng's department who can still stand, and all of them are panicked and demoralized.

However, that night, Yang Wanli and Dian Wei finally saw a mysterious person outside Hao Meng's department, and in the night, the light iron tools that Hao Meng ordered people to arrange around the camp suddenly sounded.

Hao Meng's department was already like a frightened bird at this time, and immediately poured out of the nest when he heard the movement.

As a result, a mysterious man who collapsed next to the rope and twitched as if he had committed a sheep's epilepsy was caught near the rope.

But after Hao Meng and the others saw the appearance of the mysterious person clearly, their faces showed obvious horror, but in the end, they still tied him back to the camp.

With the help of the fire in the camp, Yang Wanli and Dian Wei finally saw the appearance of the mysterious person.

According to the duo, it is more of a "monster" than a human.

The "monster's" forehead was much larger than normal, there were few hairs on his head, his eyes were large and small, his lips were only half long, and half of his gums and teeth were exposed, and he was drooling all the time.

In addition, the arms of the "monster" are also long and short, and they are hunched over when they walk, shaking and shaking extremely uncoordinated.

Isn't this a "monster" and what is it?

After relieving himself, Hao Meng wanted to ask for some information from the mouth of the "monster", but the "monster" could only babble and howl, and Hao Meng ordered someone to pry open the mouth of the "monster", only to find that the "monster" had already had its tongue cut out.

Hao Meng decided that the "monster" still had accomplices, so he tied the "monster" to the river beach and tortured him constantly, cutting the "monster" one by one, causing him to scream continuously.

In a short time, the screams of the "monsters" really led to seven or eight of the same "monsters".

Those "monsters" are also in different forms, looking old and young, men and women, holding forks and scimitars in their hands, and they rushed towards Hao Meng and the others desperately.

Unfortunately, there was a huge disparity in numbers between the two, and after only a few breaths, the "monsters" all fell to the ground.

Dead dead, wounded wounded.

After the battle, when Hao Meng ordered someone to check, he found that these "monsters" had their tongues cut out, not only could they not speak, but even if they asked them, they looked like they couldn't understand.

……

At the same time, these days, in the eyes of Cao Yu, Dian Wei, Yang Wanli, and the soldiers of the Wanren Army, Wu Liang seems to have become a god operator who can pinch and calculate!

Because except for the "monsters" that suddenly appeared at the end, almost everything else was predicted by Wu Liang in advance.

Even the bodies of the six missing soldiers, Wu Liang had sent people to the upper reaches of the stream two days earlier to investigate, and it had already been discovered at that time, knowing that Hao Meng's army had not yet begun to fall ill on a large scale at that time!

But at this moment, Wu Liang's attention.

But on a young woman who didn't look very smart who had just been caught from the mountains by Yang Wanli and Dian Wei early in the morning.
