The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 255 Ruins
"Brother, I haven't come up for a long time, I should be dead already!"

After Qin Hao sank into the water, Ma Cheng did not rush to take people away, but led people to guard by the river.

"Brother, if you haven't come out for such a long time, you will suffocate him to death!"

"What's more, he was seriously injured, and there is no way he is still alive. Let's go back quickly!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Luo went on to say: "There is still food to be moved over there, we have to go there as soon as possible, otherwise... the other two teams will be back soon!"

This makes sense, they still have business to do.

Although he knew that Qin Hao must die, Ma Cheng still frowned and said, "I always feel that this guy might still be alive!"

"Brother, you just think too much. In such a cold day, you can freeze him to death!"

Nodding his head, Ma Cheng said, "Okay... let's go back!"

It was not far from the yard to the river. Ma Cheng and his party returned quickly, and the others also rushed over.

Some of the minions who returned early even took off the bamboo armor on the soldiers and replaced it with themselves.

"Brother, we chased and killed that one just now, but he was really a desperado... It took us brothers a lot of work to kill him!"

"Honestly speaking, these officers and soldiers are really strong. Several of us surrounded and killed one, and it took so much effort!"

"We are not the same. These officers and soldiers are really hard-headed. None of them knelt down and begged for mercy... and the two brothers Dashu and Ershu died in battle!"

"Lao Yang is also dead. He died a miserable death. His head was cut off by the single officer!"

"Based on this, we also lost six brothers, big brother... We never killed so many brothers at one time when we killed those monsters!"

At this time, someone worriedly said: "Brother, I'm back... It's not easy to explain to the head of the family!"

Hearing these words, Ma Cheng's face was extremely gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "When you come out to do things, how can you not die? Why don't he come by himself if he wants to say something?"

Everyone was speechless, some people here were close friends of Ma Cheng, and some were just ordinary people in the cottage.

Ma Cheng walked into the warehouse, looked at the supplies inside, and then asked: "The officers and soldiers who escaped just now, all of them were killed?"

"killed!"

"killed!"

"Dead to death!"

"Brother, don't worry about our work!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Ma Chengcai felt relieved, and then said: "Then stop talking nonsense, pack up the food quickly, and let's leave as soon as possible!"

Hearing Ma Cheng's order, all the minions stopped talking and went into the warehouse to get busy.

Soon, the minions packed the food, and everyone was carrying the burden at the moment.

"Hurry up and get out, set a fire and burn this place!"

Following Ma Cheng's order, the minions carried the burden and quickly withdrew from the yard.

After receiving the fire folder from Minoru, and waiting for it to ignite, Ma Shan lit the firewood stack in the courtyard.

Soon the flames sprang up. Looking at the raging fire, Ma Cheng smiled.

What about the power of Prince Yong's Mansion?Let you kill countless monsters, and still not be killed by yourself, even the house will be burned by you.

"Withdraw!" Ma Cheng ordered.

Every young man at the scene carried almost a hundred catties, and there was still a lot of trouble to return to the cottage.

Starting from the courtyard, they headed east all the way, and after walking about seven or eight miles, they arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai.

Mount Wutai is a series of mountains that separate Yuanyang and Jingdong counties. It is actually more accurate to say that it is a mountain range.

They rested at the foot of the mountain for a while, and then entered the mountain with full vigilance.

In the plain area outside the mountain, the zombies have been cleaned up, but there are still many zombies in the mountain.

These zombies were attracted by the small animals in the mountain, and there was no sign of going out of the mountain at all.

It was precisely because of these zombies that Ma Cheng and his party were on guard after entering the mountain as if they were facing an enemy.

They must dare to return before dark. Wandering outside at night is easy to get lost, and on the other hand, it is not conducive to avoiding zombies.

When they walked carefully through the mountains and forests, two hours had passed.

On the other side of the plain, Niu Shangzhong was the first to return.

When he returned with his men, he saw a large puff of white smoke rising from the direction of the station from a distance.

"What are you doing?" Niu Shangzhong whispered.

At this moment, the distance is still far away, and there are trees in the middle blocking him, so he can't see the situation in the yard.

But when they approached gradually and saw the burnt-out courtyard, Niu Shangzhong couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"Who put out the fire this morning?"

The first thing Niu Shangzhong thought of was that his subordinates forgot to put out the fire, which caused the fire after everyone left.

It was impossible for him to think that there were bandits who murdered and set fire.

Niu Shangzhong quickened his pace and returned quickly with his subordinates.

But when they were more than 300 meters away from the yard, they found a body on the road, the body of a soldier who was brutally tortured and killed.

At this moment, Niu Shangzhong felt that something was wrong.

He carefully checked the soldiers on the ground and found that the opponent was Qin Hao's subordinate, which made Niu Shangzhong's expression more serious.

"There are strong enemies, be on guard!" Niu Shangzhong ordered directly.

His soldiers drew their swords one after another, and under the leadership of Niu Shangzhong, they formed a formation and rushed towards the station.

When he came out of the courtyard and looked at the small courtyard that had been burned to ashes in front of him, Niu Shangzhong was suddenly furious.

"Who... who is so bold!"

Immediately, Niu Shangzhong led people into the courtyard, and most of the open flames had been extinguished at this moment.

The soldiers tried to put out the fire, and in the process, they found three charred bodies.

These three corpses were the first three soldiers who were ambushed to death.

"My lord, there is no trace of the food being burned in the warehouse, and the food was removed before the fire!"

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Niu Shangzhong said in a deep voice: "It's not a fire, it's someone who killed someone and set the fire!"

At this moment, a faint voice could be heard outside, which made Niu Shangzhong alert immediately.

He quickly signaled his subordinates to be alert, then climbed up the wall to observe, only to find that Cheng Chun had brought someone back.

Cheng Chun not only brought people, but also brought back three corpses.

When he was more than a dozen feet away from the yard, Cheng Chun ordered someone to put down the body, and then ordered his men to approach in formation.

"Old Cheng, it's me!"

Hearing Niu Shangzhong's voice, Cheng Chun let people put down their guard, lifted the corpse again and approached the courtyard.

"What's going on?" These were Cheng Chun's first words when he met Niu Shangzhong.

"The station was robbed, some of Qin Hao's subordinates died in battle, and they were finally set on fire!" Niu Shangzhong summed it up briefly.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Cheng Chun couldn't help asking: "Where is Qin Hao? Where is Zhang Zongqi?"

"How about... let's look around?" Niu Shangzhong suggested.

The deeper meaning of what he said was that he thought that everyone was dead, so he had to look around for dead bodies.

"it is good!"

So the two of them reached an agreement, and they searched the surrounding area with the yard as the center.

It took about an hour, and the eleven corpses, including Zhang Ersheng, were all placed in the center of the yard.

Of course, the corpses of the thieves were also put aside at the moment.

At this moment, the courtyard was extremely quiet, and everyone's heart was heavy.

"Except for the three people in the yard, the others fled in different directions, which means they are breaking out!"

"Qin Hao's team is very strong, if they can be scattered and fled, the enemy must be very strong!"

This is Niu Shangzhong's analysis. Although he is not as energetic as Qin Hao, he has a flexible mind.

Cheng Chun agreed with his deduction, nodded slightly at this moment, and then asked: "What should we do?"

"Only by us, not to mention whether we can find these thieves, even if we find them... we may not be able to take them down!"

Speaking of this, Niu Shangzhong said more and more seriously: "In my opinion, it is better to report this matter to the palace, and ask the palace to send reinforcements!"

After careful consideration, Cheng Chun said, "Okay... let's do this!"

After the two were silent for a while, they heard Niu Shangzhong say: "Qin Hao's body was not found, do you think he is dead or alive?"

Cheng Chun sighed, and said: "It's hard to say, I hope he is still alive, a person like him should have done something!"
