"What's going on? Was it an earthquake? ”

Chen Guodong woke up suddenly, his eyes looking ahead.

The next moment.

"Boom!"

There was another loud bang, and the whole house seemed to tremble.

"Gordon, what's wrong?"

Yin Fang also woke up, subconsciously hugged Chen Guodong's arm with both hands, and asked with a panicked expression.

"I don't know."

Chen Guodong shook his head and said, "Listen to the sound, it's like a cannon." ”

"Cannons?"

Before Yin Fang's words were finished, there was another loud noise outside.

"Let's go out and have a look."

After Chen Guodong finished speaking, he quickly put on his clothes, put on his shoes, and ran out.

This time I came out to find that many people had been awakened, standing at the door, looking in the direction of the source of the sound.

"What the hell is that sound? So loud? ”

"It's like the sound of artillery."

"The sound of artillery?"

Many people around were shocked when they heard this.

Nearby, there is only Songjiabao equipped with artillery, right? Could it be that it was the people of Songjiabao who were firing shells?

But why are they firing artillery?

Could it be said? Is it a ferocious beast?

Everyone instantly felt a chill rise in their backs.

Generally speaking, beasts do not attack human camps, even at night, which is very unlikely, after all, the tall walls cut off their view.

However, there is one exception, and that is the beast tide!

When there is a beast tide, these fierce beasts will attack the human camp frantically as if they have lost their minds, whether it is day or night.

In other words, the beast tide broke out?

"Gordon."

At this moment, Zhang Ren, Wei Tianyuan, and Gu Jianghai also came over.

Chen Guodong nodded at them, and then said with an ugly face: "Listen to this sound, it should be the sound of cannons, could it be that something happened to Songjiabao?" ”

Gu Jianghai glanced at each other, and their faces were all ugly.

If this is the case, will Chenjiabao be far away if he is attacked by fierce beasts?

"No, something isn't quite right."

Zhang Ren shook his head, "Songjiabao is nearly forty miles away from us, if it was the sound of cannons from Songjiabao, there would not be such a big movement." ”

“？”

Chen Guodong and the others are all agitators.

Some of them wondered if the movement was so loud that even the ground was shaking.

"Zhang Ren, you mean, this cannon may be near us?"

"Hmm."

Zhang Ren's face was solemn and said, "It may only be one or twenty miles." ”

"What! One or twenty miles? ”

The crowd looked shocked.

Songjiabao is thirty or forty miles away from here, how can it be the sound of cannons from one or twenty miles away?

Zhang Ren's brows furrowed.

Can't be wrong.

When he was in Ansan, he participated in several defense battles, and he was all too familiar with the sound of artillery.

As soon as you hear this, you know that it is emitted by a 75mm howitzer, and the number should be two.

"The sound of artillery from a distance of one or twenty miles," Gu Ze frowned, and said, "Isn't that where we lived before?" ”

When the words fell, everyone's faces changed instantly.

Yes, this direction, this distance, it seems to be Chenjiazhai?

But how could there be cannon fire?

Could it be that someone is using artillery to bombard Chenjiazhai?

"Something is wrong, I'm going to go out and take a look."

Zhang Ren said loudly: "Guodong, you let everyone hide in the basement first, the sooner the better." ”

Chen Guodong hesitated a little and nodded, "Okay, I'll go and bring someone to inform you, you have to be careful." ”

"Lao Zhang, shall we go with you?"

"Yes, multiple people, multiple care."

The Wei brothers were busy.

"No, you don't."

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "I'm just going to check the situation, there are too many people, but there is a risk of exposure." ”

"Then you have to be careful."

"Stay safe."

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Zhang Ren took the binoculars and walked quickly towards the door of the village.

He had a very uneasy feeling in his heart, much stronger than the one he had had done three years ago.

Could it be that someone is really using artillery to bombard Chenjiazhai?

If so, if he and the others hadn't moved here earlier, what would be the end now?

He didn't dare to think about it, just quickened his pace and hurried forward.

Chen Fan was not there, and the safety of the village fell on him, and he promised Chen Fan to protect Chen Jiabao.

……

Chenjiazhai has become a ruin at this moment, and everywhere the naked eye goes, the flames are burning and the smoke is everywhere.

A hundred meters away, the barrels of the two guns were like red-hot soldering irons, and the temperature was terrifying.

The guards who followed showed joy on their faces when they saw the scene in front of them.

Chen Jiazhai, this is the end of your opposition to our Song Jiabao! How dare you kill Captain Guan? Then all of you, go down to the burial.

However, there was no excitement on Song Hailong's face, his brows were furrowed, and his face was gloomy as if he could drip water.

Wrong

It's not right.

The power of the two cannons is huge, and a few rounds of shells can blow up Chenjiazhai beyond recognition, but there is not even a single survivor, right?

Even if they are all buried in the rubble, there must be a scream or two, right?

But from beginning to end, the village in front of me was surprisingly quiet.

"Cousin, do you sense something is wrong?"

Cheng Lei's voice rang out.

"After the second round of artillery fire, I felt that something was wrong, it was too quiet, there was no sound at all, and then the third round, the fourth round...... Until the sound of the artillery subsided, I didn't hear any sound in that stockade. ”

Song Hailong licked his lips, "In other words, the stockade in front of you is empty?" ”

Cheng Lei Moran.

If it's empty, then this time it's not just a trip for nothing, they can't make a difference on the side of Ansan City.

"Cousin, I'll take people in to have a look, perhaps, they were all stunned, so they couldn't make a sound."

"Well, be careful."

Song Hailong admonished.

"Hmm."

Cheng Lei led a squad of three or four loaded guns and ammunition to step over the collapsed wall and enter the stockade.

"Crackle."

Flames burned all around, and there was a constant crackling sound.

Cheng Lei sniffed into the air, there was no smell other than burnt smell, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

Because under this kind of firepower, someone will definitely die, but how can there not be the slightest smell of blood in the air?

There were no broken limbs and wreckage in the ruins of the four corners, not even a little blood.

"Are they all hiding in the basement, no, it can't be, unless they will know the prophet, and how can they be in time for such a short time?"

Cheng Lei thought of this, and said loudly: "Look for me carefully, don't let go of any corner!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone answered, and searched in the ruins.

"Captain, I didn't find anything here."

"Captain, I don't have one here."

"Captain, I found a basement, but there's no one in it."

"I don't have it on my side."

Soon, the sound of reporting sounded in all directions.

Every time the voice fell, Cheng Lei's face became ugly.

As it turned out, his instincts were most likely right, and there really was no one here!

"Captain, we've searched all the places, not to mention the survivors, not even a single dead person, and the walls and gravel are also very clean, without a trace of blood."

Three or four squads gathered around.

There was doubt and trepidation in his eyes.

One of the men had the courage to ask, "Captain, could it be that there is no one living here?" ”

The atmosphere was instantly quiet.

Everyone cautiously looked at Cheng Lei's face.

It sounds outrageous, but it seems to be the case.

Otherwise, why did they search for so long and find nothing?

"Let's go out first."

Cheng Lei glanced at the man who spoke, and the latter suddenly shivered, eager to bury his head in his stomach.

"Cousin, how's it going, did you find anything?"

Outside the stockade, seeing Cheng Lei and his party returning empty-handed, Song Hailong had a vague guess in his heart, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart.

Cheng Lei shook his head and said with an ugly face: "Cousin, this is an empty stockade. ”

“！”

Song Hailong's eyes widened suddenly.

"We've already looked for all the places, not to mention people, not even bloodstains," Cheng Lei took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid, they have already evacuated." ”

There was no sound around.

No one thought that this would be the result.

"Cousin, it's not without good news." Cheng Lei hesitated: "At least it proves that Guan Dexi must have been done by Chen Jiazhai, otherwise, there is no need for them to be thieves and leave here with the entire village." ”

"These bunch of crumbs!"

Song Hailong gritted his teeth with hatred.

What's the use of talking about it now?

He can't take these words and tell them, can he?

If the murderer is not caught, he will not be able to confess at all.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a touch of joy appeared on his face, and he said, "Cousin, where do you think they can move to with so many people?" ”

Cheng Lei suddenly had a stirring, "Cousin, you mean, they may not have gone far?" ”

"Of course."

Song Hailong sneered.

"In this world, not to mention hundreds of people, it is just a few people, it is not easy to find a place to stay, hundreds of people, eighty percent, still nearby!"

Cheng Lei heard this and took a deep breath.

My cousin is right, these people must be nearby, and there are only a few nearby villages that can accommodate so many people, and it is not difficult to find them one by one.

"Cousin, the nearest big village from here should be Zhaojiabao, if the people of Chenjiazhai want to relocate, it is very likely that they will choose there, even if they are not there, we can also get some clues from the Zhao brothers."

"Okay, let's start with Zhaojiabao first."

Song Hailong took a deep breath and glanced at his watch.

There is not much time left for them, and the murderer must be caught today, otherwise, it will be too late.

"You blew up this stockade, right?"

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind the two.
