Chapter 276: War (4)

Chapter 276

At this moment, even though these elders and disciples were arrogant, they also completely admired Wan Tingjun, and the last trace of jealousy in their hearts disappeared, so when Wan Tingjun felt that it was almost time and gave the order to start hurrying, none of them showed dissatisfaction on their faces, and they all stood up obediently, and then began to follow Wan Tingjun and run towards the distance.

On the morning of the second day when Wan Tingjun and they left here, the head of the sect led a large group of people to rush here, looking at the traces of the bonfire that had already cooled on the ground, the head couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said secretly, "I'm really anxious, it's pulling us farther and farther away." ”

Zhao Gongming's military camp, on a watchtower

Zhao Gongming slowly withdrew the tools that looked into the distance, and said to Fang Tian who was standing beside him with some worry in his tone, "Fang Tian, why do I feel that things are slightly bad in the past two days." ”

Fang Tian looked at Zhao Gongming suspiciously, "All the conditions in Longshan Country are under our control, what does the Great General feel is wrong?"

Zhao Gongming shook his head slowly, and turned his eyes to the boundless white tent under his feet, countless soldiers were training desperately on the training ground, and finally said in a deep voice, "The problem is not in the enemy army, but in our own army." ”

"In our own army?" Fang Tian repeated Zhao Gongming's words, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

Zhao Gongming nodded and said, "Although there is no root, I have always had a sense of crisis in my heart for the past two days, as if something is about to happen in my army." I've been touring everywhere for the past two days, and I haven't given birth to anything that makes me feel special, but I definitely can't be wrong with the feeling in my heart, there must be something about to happen. And, it's scary!"

When he said the last three words, Zhao Gongming's voice suddenly lowered, but it was a firm belief that was not weakened at all, Fang Tian's face also changed a little, he thought of something, but he was a little unsure whether to say it, after all, if it was not good, it would disturb the morale of the army, and the crime would be too big.

Although Zhao Gongming was worried in his heart, his insight was not weak at all, he keenly felt that Fang Tian had something to hide from him, and asked quietly at the moment, "Fang Tian, haven't you seen anything abnormal in the military camp recently?"

Fang Tian hesitated for a moment, but still decided not to tell this matter, after all, even he himself was not very sure now. At that moment, he hurriedly shook his head at Zhao Gongming and said, "There is nothing abnormal, General." ”

Zhao Gongming's heart sank, a shadow swept through his heart, and he looked at the army of Longshan Country again, but his mind was no longer on the enemy army. The bleak moon reflected the brightly lit barracks, and countless soldiers were tired of the day, and at the moment they were all walking in the barracks with some relaxation, talking and laughing wantonly. Although it is forbidden to drink alcohol in the barracks, there are still some people who hide some secretly, and at this moment, some people quietly hide in their camps and drink a small sip, which is very happy.

Although the soldiers on the shift are still wearing armor, they have also changed into light armor, and the heavy armor of the day has been put aside, after all, although it is the war period, but the battle has not really begun, so everyone inevitably looks a little relaxed.

A rat slipped out of a tent quietly, but unfortunately, the rat was on its way to fight the soldiers. The soldier who was on the shift was a little drowsy, and suddenly stepped on a soft mass of things, and was startled, and after seeing that it was a mouse, he just finished scolding his mother and wanted to kick the mouse away, and suddenly wiped his eyes in disbelief.

Why is this rat covered in blood?

The soldier leaned down and tried to take a closer look at the mouse, but the mouse had already slipped away.

It's so strange, why is the blood on the corner of this mouse's mouth so thick? The soldier muttered twice, but without much thought, he wanted to leave here. But at a glance, I suddenly thought that there was a good buddy of his own in the camp next to him, he had some good wine hidden, and he couldn't help but become addicted to alcohol, and after thinking about it, he decided to ask for two sips of wine before leaving.

Having made up their minds, the soldiers on the guard walked towards a tent on the side.

Fang Tian had just come back from Zhao Gongming, and he felt that today's general seemed to have a slightly different feeling towards him, and when he was confused in his heart, he suddenly heard a terrible scream from a camp tent not far from him.

"Ahh

This terrifying cry, which seemed to concentrate all the strength of a person, instantly alarmed the barracks, and countless soldiers came out of the tents to see what was going on. Fang Tian was the first to come to the camp where the voice came from, and saw a soldier collapse on the ground with a gong and drum in his hand.

"What's going on?" Fang Tian frowned and asked the soldier.

The soldier who fell to the ground was speechless for a while, and pointed to the camp with trembling hands, his eyes were full of fear, as if he had been frightened and his spirit was on the verge of madness.

Fang Tian frowned, pulled out the saber at his waist, took a step forward, and then stretched out his sword and slowly opened the tent door in a corner, his face changed greatly after seeing the scene inside.

The soldiers around him gathered more and more, almost reaching a thousand. But none of the soldiers dared to step forward to see what was going on, because the general in the army, Fang Tianzheng, was waiting outside the tent with a pale face, and no one was allowed to enter inside.

Zhao Gongming came here with a windbreaker and a frown, saw Fang Tian waiting outside, and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

Fang Tian didn't speak, but opened a corner of the tent and took Zhao Gongming into the tent, even a few cronies and generals around Zhao Gongming were also stopped outside.

Zhao Gongming looked at the scene in front of him with some shock, there were four soldiers in a camp, at this moment, these four soldiers had their skin and flesh open, their intestines flowed all over the ground, there was no intact skin on their bodies, their faces were completely bitten, and their identities could not be distinguished at all. Blood mixed with internal organs spilled on the ground, a mess, overturned flasks and tables poured blood on the ground, and bloody handprints of struggles burned on the white cloth of the tent. Fortunately, the lights were not knocked over, otherwise the place would have become a sea of fire.

"Who did it?" Zhao Gongming asked in a cold voice, this scene was too cruel, and it could be seen that these four soldiers must have been tortured a lot before they died.

Fang Tian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Zhao Gongming suddenly stretched out his sword, pointed at a person's head, and said, "There seems to be squirming here." ”

Fang Tian looked over with some surprise, and sure enough, it seemed that there was something under the head of a soldier, and it was squirming gently. The soldier's head was sometimes raised and sometimes sunken under the arch of this inexplicable thing, which looked very terrifying.

Zhao Gongming frowned and was about to swing his sword to slash down, when suddenly, something seemed to come out of the soldier's mouth.

Fang Tian hurriedly stopped Zhao Gongming and said, "It seems to be coming out of the skull to see what it is." ”

Zhao Gongming also slowly dropped the big sword, but his mind did not relax at all and stared at the thing that might come out.

A small nose first emerged from the soldier's mouth, then a disgusting head stained with broken bones and blood, followed by the whole body, Zhao Gongming and Fang Tian were stunned at the same time, looking at the mouse in front of him who was not afraid of people at all, but showed a touch of blood red in his eyes, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"What, rats, rats also eat people?" for a long time, Zhao Gongming said in disbelief.

Fang Tianshun thought of the mouse in the water room, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough." ”

Hearing Fang Tian's words, Zhao Gongming Xun turned his head, his eyes fixed on Fang Tian, and asked, "What, do you know the situation?"

Seeing Zhao Gongming's gaze, Fang Tian, who had never seen Zhao Gongming before, was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, and hurriedly explained, "My subordinates saw a strange mouse in the water room a few days ago, but because there was nothing wrong with it at that time, so my subordinates didn't think much about it, and when they saw this mouse at this moment, they suddenly realized that these rats may have mutated." ”

"Mutated?" Zhao Gongming asked a little strangely.

Fang Tian nodded, and said to Zhao Gongming, "I don't know if the Great General has ever heard of a drug that can make people very bloodthirsty and easy to kill, I think these rats may have been affected by similar drugs and have become extremely hungry for blood, so they will attack humans." ”

Zhao Gongming suddenly asked, "You just said that you saw this kind of rat in the water room?"

Fang Tian nodded.

"Then, is it possible that people have also been infected by this drug?" Zhao Gongming suddenly said coldly, at the same time, Fang Tian's heart was also cold, and an extremely bad feeling instantly enveloped the hearts of the two of them.

Zhao Gongming and Fang Tian glanced at each other, and they both saw a thick fear in each other's eyes. If this drug really mixed into the water, then the entire army of 100,000 people would not be spared, and when the time came, it would inevitably lead to a disaster.

"General, what should we do now?" Fang Tian said in a somewhat astringent voice.

After all, Zhao Gongming is the main general of the first army, he has fought countless battlefields, and his concentration is strong, and after a short period of panic, he quickly calmed down. After thinking carefully for a while, Zhao Gongming said, "I think this is definitely not an accidental incident, someone must have taken this kind of medicine, the other party is in the dark, we are in the light, and it is a little difficult to prevent it." ”

"Yes, yes, I went to the water room a few days ago because Miss Xiu is lurking outside the water room now, so I went to find out. In this way, there is indeed a force hidden in the shadows that we don't know about, trying to bring us down. Fang Tian reacted and said.

Zhao Gongming also suddenly thought of his sister's strange behavior a few days ago, at that time he thought that she was a little messy, but now that he thinks about it, he is really careless, so that he did not show the enemy's conspiracy early, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

"Fang Tian, pass the order, the whole army is forbidden to drink water in the room, and at the same time, you send a team of cronies and soldiers to Huaguang City to ask for water, during this period, you will also send some people to look for water sources everywhere here, and strictly control it, prohibit our people from contacting outside, and if you want to approach, all of them will be arrested. ”

"Order!"

Zhao Gongming suddenly stared at Fang Tian, and said in a deep tone, "Remember, don't cause panic in the whole army, the matter here must not be leaked in the slightest." ”

Fang Tian nodded, quickly turned around and left the tent, and went to give orders outside. Zhao Gongming also turned his head to look at the bloody scene in the camp again, and in the depths of his eyes, a few traces of killing intent suddenly appeared,

Although I don't know who you are, if you want to harm me, you have to pay the price of blood! Zhao Gongming gritted his teeth and said. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, although Zhao Gongming and Fang Tian pay attention to blocking the news, but there is no unventilated wall in the world, and there are still some terrible rumors coming from the mouths of the soldiers. Among the countless large tents in the army, there was always a well-informed person among the soldiers in each tent, standing in the middle of several people at the moment, mysteriously telling his roommates about the news he had heard.

The monkey is one of these well-informed people, and at this moment he is standing in the middle of Zhao Wanglang, the pillar and the stone, and he is telling the news that he doesn't know how many mouths he has heard.

"Well, I heard that something terrible was going on in that tent. There was a very powerful creature that ate the brains, intestines, flesh, bones, and so on of those soldiers, and there was not much left of them. The soldiers died so miserably that there were no corpses. I also heard that this creature is currently secretly hunted in the barracks, no one knows what it looks like, but there are rumors, the biggest possibility is a mouse, you have to be careful, if you wake up in the middle of the night and see a mouse under the bed, but don't alarm it, maybe, it will... ”

"Ahh

The monkey put away his fangs and claws that scared the stones, and said with a smile, "You are the most careless person, I am afraid that you will not remember this reminder, so I will deepen your impression." ”

When Shi Gang was about to say something, Zhao Wanglang spoke, "Monkey, where did you hear this rumor?"

The monkey scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I heard about it from Wang Er, but I know that Wang Er heard it from Wan San, and I don't know where Wan San heard about it." However, the guy who is on the shift now is really scared, and he can't seem to get up from lying in the military doctor's tent, and I heard that he was paralyzed by fright. ”

"I'm afraid of a bird, if I meet it, I will directly smash that monster to death with a fist, and return the mouse, and the mouse can still eat a person, I don't believe it. On the side, the pillar was a little unbelieving.

The monkey squinted at the pillar, suddenly his eyes widened, his pupils constricted, his fingers trembled and he raised it, facing the back of the pillar, and suddenly his voice trembled, "It's it, it's it, the man-eating monster, it's coming!"
