Soldiers in felt hats and scarves stepped on creaking planks to the nearest wooden house. The door of the wooden house was closed, and the panels were mottled with the marks of time.

Beard carefully pushed open the door with a gun in hand, and another soldier followed closely behind, taking cover next to him.

The door opened, and a musty smell of blood came to their nostrils, and when the two people who entered the room were unmoved, they looked around vigilantly with the help of the light shining in from the doorway.

The boot stepped on the bloodstains on the ground, and the beard's gaze fell on a corpse by the fireplace in front of him.

Xue Jinhai entered the house through the small door on the other side of the wooden house, and he followed the gaze of his beard and another soldier, and also saw the corpse on the ground.

The windows were opened, and the room was much more lighted.

"Safety." Hu Zi gestured at Xue Jinhai, but Xue Jinhai's gaze became heavier and heavier.

There was more than one body in the house. Lying on the ground is an adult woman, who is about 25~30 years old.

This woman's body didn't know how long it had been cold, Xue Jinhai saw that her body was covered with blood, and her entire chest cavity was hollowed out by something.

Bottles and cans fell to the ground next to the corpse, and the house was in shambles.

On Xue Jinhai's right hand, the body of an adult male was lying on the table, his body was also scarred, even more terrifying than the female corpse on the ground.

Xue Jinhai and his soldiers glanced at each other, and everyone left the wooden house with a sinking face.

In the other surrounding houses, the situation was much the same. The whole village died, some in the house, some by the stack of firewood behind the house.

The Border Guards were able to find few bodies, but they were all with horrific scars, and most of the bodies were gone.

Lin Zhiwei whistled and passed on the news of Xue Jinhai's gathering.

The other soldiers returned to Xue Jinhai's side from all around the village, everyone waiting for the captain's next order.

"The death toll will not be less than fifty." Xue Jinhai looked around, and said in a deep voice: "The actual death toll may be more than two to three times. ”

"Hmm." One of the soldiers nodded, "Some of the corpses are broken, what the hell is this?" ”

"It's clear that something has hit the village." Xue Jinhai's voice paused, and he raised his head to look at the noisy jackdaws in the air, "The smell of blood here has attracted them from the south. ”

Beard patted the ice ridge stuck to his beard and asked, "Is it a mutant creature that attacked the village?" ”

"Possibly, if so, there are quite a few of these mutated creatures."

Xue Jinhai's words raised the vigilance of the soldiers to a higher level again, and everyone grabbed the handle of the gun and was ready for battle.

"Brothers." Xue Jinhai suddenly shouted.

The surrounding soldiers looked at each other and instinctively raised their heads and chests, everyone knew that the captain's order was coming.

"Find out why! The people of Greyls cannot die in vain. ”

"Phew!"

The crowd shouted in unison, a way for the soldiers in the unit to show their morale, and everyone in this border guard squad was in high spirits at the moment. Although everyone did not know who the enemy was, the tragic death of the villagers had aroused the anger of revenge in their hearts.

The jackdaws on the eaves were startled by the cries of the soldiers and fled in all directions, and no one paid attention to the black birds, and under the leadership of Xue Jinhai, the group headed towards the valley behind the village.

Soon, the team made new discoveries along the way.

On the snow behind the village, some corpses were scattered on the snow, and crimson blood stains spread into the distance.

"Lin Zhiwei." Xue Jinhai suddenly stopped, and a soldier quickly came up to him.

"Inform other squads that may be in the vicinity and get them closer to our position, we need to find those things and destroy them."

After the captain gave the order, Lin Zhiwei immediately took out the messenger gun he was carrying and fired a signal flare into the air.

Lin Zhiwei is the herald and communicator of this team, and in addition to weapons and ammunition, he also has some communication equipment on his body, and the flare gun is one of them.

The red flare flew into the sky with Mars, but after a while, there was no response in the sky over the surrounding area.

According to the agreement between the squads, when receiving a red flare signal, the green flare must be responded immediately.

No response means there are no other teams nearby.

Xue Jinhai's team was a lone force in the Redstone Valley.

"Xue Tou." A middle-aged soldier with a Chinese face came out and said, "It seems that the other teams are far away from us, and the things we encountered are likely to be mutated creatures, and if there are too many of them, we will not be able to get support." ”

"If you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will retreat, and the first thing to do now is to find out the situation." Xue Jinhai actually thought of the concerns of the soldiers with the national face, but as the captain of the border guards and the soldiers of the country, how could he retreat without seeing the enemy?

"We need to figure out what the things that are attacking the villages, where they are and how many they are." Xue Jinhai turned to the other soldiers and emphasized, he knew that there must be more people with the same concerns, Tao Kunquan with a Chinese face.

The blood stains spread to the dense forest in the valley, and as the sun set, the red stone outside the forest seemed to be plated with gold, and the red stone in the forest became dark.

Xue Jinhai's team had already entered the woods, and the light around them was beginning to dim, but the visibility was still guaranteed, because the sun had not yet set, and there was snow on the ground.

The soldiers found some more clues in the woods, which was on the edge of a waterhole and was littered with moose carcasses.

Moose belong to the family of mammalian cervids, and they generally live alone or in small groups, preferring to move near water sources and feed on grass and leaves near water.

THE ANIMAL CAN REACH A MAXIMUM LENGTH OF TWO METERS, A SHOULDER HEIGHT OF MORE THAN ONE AND A HALF METERS, AND AN ADULT BUCK GENERALLY WEIGHS MORE THAN 200 KG.

More than a dozen moose died near the waterhole, none of their corpses intact, most of their internal organs were hollowed out, and some of their necks were bitten off.

"Oh my God!" Someone in the team gasped.

"These big guys can be annihilated...... It seems that those things are not only ferocious, but there are quite a few of them. Xue Jinhai is familiar with the climate and environment in the north, and he also knows more about moose, when the border stalemate with other countries was lacking, the troops lacked supplies, and he would lead the team to hunt to supplement supplies.

Moose are good runners, and the bucks have a pair of large horns on their heads, so they can usually run away even against a small pack of wolves.

The scene at the edge of the pool tells everyone in the team that unknown ferocious creatures are more terrifying than wolves.
