the enlightener says

Ren Tu yelled, and finally pulled out the knife with his hands and feet. He had never used a knife to kill people, and he almost slashed towards the head like a madman.

Chapter 776 Ghost Town

One knife, two knives, three knives...

He couldn't remember how many knives he had inflicted, he only knew that he couldn't let Ren Laoqi, who had saved him, die like this.

But that corpse was far more tenacious than he thought. Even though his head was chopped off in a mess, he still had the strength to move forward and bite Ren Laoqi, but when his teeth closed, Ren Laoqi let out a scream, and his chest A piece of flesh and blood was torn off.

"Old Seven!" Ren Tu's eyes were red, and he felt a rush of heat rushing straight to the top of his head. With a loud roar, he slashed out again, and actually chopped off the head!

This was the first time that Ren Tu had personally chopped off a person's head with a knife. Although he had hoped that he could make contributions in front of the battle, he never thought that the first time he swung a knife would be at such a time.

In the midst of such extreme excitement and fear, a rush of blood rushed straight to his head, as if a hole had been opened in the top of his head, and he felt dizzy in addition to the severe pain, as if there were countless gold stars floating in front of his eyes.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief and ease his emotions, the corpse actually moved again!

Ren Tu stared in horror at the headless corpse struggling to grab Ren Laoqi's neck with one hand.

This scene is like a ghost crawling out of hell, hysterically trying to drag the living person in front of him into death to be with him, standing still like a wooden man, unable to move.

Fortunately, although Ren Laoqi had exhausted most of his strength in the struggle just now, he still mustered up his last courage and strength.

He raised one leg, pressed it directly against the corpse's abdomen, pulled it out with all his strength, and finally kicked the corpse off his body.

"Give me the knife!" Ren Laoqi got up out of breath, snatched the knife from Ren Tu's hand, pointed it straight down, aimed at the vest of the corpse, and stabbed hard, piercing the ribs, Nail the heart directly into the ground.

The headless corpse struggled and grasped Ren Laoqi's ankle with the only remaining hand. Amidst the crackling sound, Ren Laoqi let out a cry of pain, feeling that the ankle bone had been crushed.

At the critical moment, his final ferocity was also aroused, and he suddenly pulled out the knife and chopped off the other hand of the corpse with a single stroke, and fell backwards into Ren Tu's arms.

"Old Qi! How are you?" Ren Tu tried his best to support the exhausted Ren Lao Qi, looking at the corpse on the ground that had finally lost its movement, a feeling of survival after the catastrophe emerged spontaneously. Lao Qi fumbled around.

Ren Laoqi was breathing heavily, and the wound on his chest kept rising and falling, but he still remembered showing a simple and honest smile, and said to Ren Tu: "I'm fine..."

Before the words fell, there was the sound of a heavy object falling!

The two were shocked, and soon realized that all the corpses were placed in this tent, and the ones that could fall from the shelves... could only be the dead.

And when Ren Tu raised his head and looked into the depths of the camp under the dim light of the oil lamp, countless shadows were constantly enlarging. They raised their heads and called out to the sky as if they were unwilling.

The first falling sound was just the beginning, and the surrounding corpses began to move, as soon as possible because of their stiff bodies, they moved clumsily, but Ren Tu and Ren Laoqi were so frightened that they dared not stay any longer. go down.

"Go! I'm carrying you!" Ren Tu dragged Ren Laoqi up in panic, let Ren Laoqi with an injured ankle lie on his back, and began to walk out of the tent.

This short distance of more than a dozen steps seems so long today, as if it will never end. After walking a few steps, Ren Tu felt his body was weak, and then his back sank, and his feet staggered like Mr. Ren. Seven fell to the ground together.

I don't know if he hit it when he fell, but when he got up, Ren Tu only felt his nose sore, and a greasy, salty liquid flowed down his lips.

The moment he turned his head, what he saw was that a corpse had already thrown onto Ren Laoqi's body.

Ren Laoqi struggled hard, and swung the knife in his hand again, but was held by the corpses with both hands. Each of them rolled on the ground several times, and did not stop until they hit a wooden frame beside them.

Ren Tu heard Ren Lao Qi screaming in panic as well. The veteran's encounter tonight had already exhausted him, and it became very difficult to escape from the corpse.

In a panic, Ren Tu finally grabbed the trouser legs of the corpse and rescued Ren Laoqi with a roar.

It was too late to recite, so Ren Tu could only help Ren Laoqi and fled out of the camp. From the corner of his eyes, he could only see the corpse pick up the knife that Ren Laoqi dropped from the ground, and stood up slowly. stand up.

Ren Tu's heart was beating violently, almost rushing out of his chest. Stumbling in the dark, he saw the entrance of the tent getting closer, but an indescribable fear broke through the fence and raged in all directions in his body.

He found in despair that the entrance of the tent was already full of corpses. Their backs were facing the starlight outside the tent, and their faces were blurred, like a group of ghosts. They were embracing the two of them with outstretched arms.

But Ren Laoqi suddenly pushed him away.

Ren Tu stared, and he just watched the old soldier go up to the corpses, and let out a deafening roar: "I will lure them away, you escape!"

Ren Tu didn't have time to stop him, and in just one breath, Ren Laoqi was already submerged in the corpses.

In fact, Ren Laoqi was not so heroic and dry. After his courage was exhausted, his frightened begging for mercy and crying for his parents soon came out from among the corpses.

Although the gap is so small.

But Ren Tu never felt that such a small gap could make a person voluntarily give up his life.

He froze for a moment, then rushed out of the tent like crazy.

Tonight's Jianye City was shrouded in a deep black cloud, and even the twinkling stars seemed to be swallowed up by ghosts and were no longer seen by people.

Abu stood on the top of the city wall, his eyes were filled with unbelievable light, looking at the scene under the city wall.

There were countless soldiers in armor, either from county soldiers, or just farmers who had been captured as young men, but they had completely become something that ordinary people could not understand.

Some of them held their weapons in their mouths, and some carried their backs behind their backs, digging into the gaps in the city wall with their stiff fingers, and continued to climb upwards.

Their bodies were heavy, and the armor and weapons on their bodies had already exceeded the limit that their fingers could bear. Some people even broke their finger bones because of this, and several fingers formed a distorted shape.

But none of them uttered a cry of pain, they just remained silent, like a black tide, continuously rising towards the city wall.

"Let go!" Abu roared the word hoarsely, and countless arrows fell down the crenels on the top of the city.

But even after several consecutive rounds of arrow rain fell, it still couldn't stop the climbing of these living corpses. Under the light of the fire, one could see that the head of a living corpse was completely pierced by many feathered arrows, but his movements did not slow down at all. A pair of empty eyes stared blankly upward.

No matter how resolute the soldiers on the top of the city were, they would still feel terrified in the face of such an enemy that could not be described by common sense, and when they found that their arrows could not take their lives, they fell into a kind of panic.

Abu gritted his teeth, and finally understood why Gao Changgong still used those county soldiers to keep attacking the city even though he knew it would be unfavorable to attack the city.

He didn't care if he could break the city, what he wanted was a corpse!

Tonight's raid can only be completed if there are enough corpses. From the very beginning, the lives of those county soldiers and common people have become a kind of bargaining chip for Gao Changgong.

"Brother Chang Gong from before would never have done such a thing." In anger, Abu slammed his fist heavily on the city wall, cracking a bit of gravel, and roared again, "Don't panic! Keep shooting arrows! "

But even those well-trained archers couldn't stop the advance of the living corpses.

Except for a few living corpses who were directly brought down by the force of the arrows and were submerged in the darkness, the other living corpses continued to climb upwards no matter how many arrows they were hit.

On the contrary, the defenders at the top of the city saw the living corpses climbing up, and even the hand holding the bow began to tremble in the panic.

Rolling logs and stones have become the most effective weapons at this time. When the heavy weight falls, it will often take away many figures. Even if these living corpses are not crushed to death on the spot, they will fall because of it.

The sulfur that was originally used to burn out the mist to block the enemy has completely lost its effect. Abu directly ordered those things to be taken back and stood on the top of the city to look down.

He just watched those living corpses approaching constantly, his sharp eyes and empty eyes staring at each other.

"Fire oil." Abu said in a deep voice.

Chapter 777 Purification

Fire is the origin of civilization, and from the moment she came into this world with Lei Guang, she was radiant, like a god.

As the drumbeats and the shouts of the orderlies continued to spread, the fire-proof felt cloth was torn off the fire oil barrels stored on the top of the city, and the strong soldiers lifted them over their shoulders and splashed them downward.

Abu took the arrow from the side with serious eyes, and after the torch was lit, he pointed at the leading living corpse below, bowing like a full moon.

The living corpse was unconscious, and continued to climb upwards with empty eyes after being splashed with kerosene, but when it raised its head and saw Abu's figure, it showed a bit of eagerness, and the climbing speed was even faster. Speeded up a bit.

"put!"

Countless rockets fell like stars, and in an instant, a monstrous fire ignited below, spreading downward from the top of the city, pouring down like a flood.

Countless living corpses hissed and wailed in it. Facing such a pure and fiery existence, even they felt severe pain. The living corpses in the front row were directly wrapped in flames. Fall from the top of the city.

The archer still didn't stop drawing the bow, but every time he drew the bow he had to use more force than usual, and the arrows he used had been replaced with armor-piercing heavy arrows. Although they couldn't kill the living corpse with one blow, the huge impact was enough to knock them out. The living corpse crashed down the city wall.

Seeing the effectiveness of kerosene, Abu was also excited. It seems that although these living corpses are not afraid of swords and guns, they still have something to fear.

He squinted his eyes, and gave orders to the soldiers who were moving the fuel oil behind him: "Don't wait for my order, once you get close to the city wall, pour oil down, and the archers will replace the rockets!"

Maybe it's because of years of study in Taixuetang, or because of the continuous experience in these years, even Abu himself doesn't know that there is a kind of light in his body that is constantly bursting out.

Under his quiet order, the fear and panic of facing the living corpses on the top of the city was gradually replaced by an orderly and calm atmosphere. Everyone was like a cog in this huge war machine, and they tried their best to fight against the dead. Do what you can do best.

In the darkness in the distance, Gao Changgong stood in battle armor, looked at the attack on the top of the city from a distance, and smiled and said: "I remember that Wanling saw this child for the first time, and he could see his perseverance. If it is guided, it will definitely become a great weapon, and now it seems that it is indeed the case."

Over the years, he has never kept any secrets from Abu, from spear skills to halberds and even hundreds of soldiers, from military formations to battlefield strategies. Until today, he really saw Abu's appearance on the top of the city, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

"General." The man in black whispered behind him, "calculate the time, it has come."

Gao Changgong nodded lightly, and his robe bulged in the wind when he got on his horse.

"It's time, let's fire the arrows and let Sun Qing's men get ready." Gao Changgong looked at the towering city wall ahead, his eyes reflected the flames of kerosene being ignited, "It won't be long."

"General!" Abu turned his head and saw Ren Tu who was out of breath.

Accompanying him was a school lieutenant in armor, but he was in a mess, not only the knife in his hand was broken in many places, but there was even a piece of internal organs hanging on his shoulder armor, exuding a strong stench.

Before the two of them actually ran in front of Abu, Ren Tu, who was running with the last effort, staggered, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Abu's eyes are sharp and his hands are quick, and he has the energy and blood of a small master. His movements are far faster than that of the captain, and he has covered the distance of six steps in the blink of an eye.

"What happened?" Although he just asked, Abu already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Ren Tu, who struggled to open his eyes but couldn't straighten his legs, gasped, "Wounded Barracks... Wounded Barracks..."

"General, all the corpses in the wounded barracks have changed." The lieutenant took over the conversation, cupped his hands and said in a hoarse voice, "General Huang Yao has already led people to seal the camp, but because it has spread too far, This matter is too weird, the barracks is in such a state of chaos that even General Huang Yao can't control it."

"How could this happen?" Abu was startled. He only saw the enemy camp taking back the corpses of those county soldiers, but there were many wounded soldiers on his side who hadn't even had contact with the enemy. Why? Will it become a living corpse?

"It's a bug...it's a bug..." Ren Tu struggled, "When I examined the corpse, I found a bug that was half the size of a palm from the belly. Later, Lao Qi chopped off the head and hands of the corpse, and they Surrounding Lao Qi, the worm jumped out of the headless corpse and went straight into Lao Qi's mouth..."

insect?

Abu didn't know who the seventh child was, but listening to Ren Tu's words, he could already imagine such a scene, and his spine felt a little chilled.

Right now the city is fighting, but there is a sudden disturbance in the city, which must be very unfavorable to their side.

"Some wounded soldiers were not injured enough to die, but maybe because of the bug, the vitality in the body was gradually exhausted, and they would eventually become that kind of thing. Whether it is beheading... or beheading, it can only make these things no longer It hurts people, but once the worm jumps out of the body, it will look for a new body..." Ren Tu said weakly, "I checked some things, the worm will probably only be near the dantian, and if it can be directly killed by a sharp weapon, it can Cut off the possibility of it coming out again to harm people. But if you can't do it, you can only use fire..."

Abu nodded. Judging from the behavior of the living corpses after the kerosene was ignited just now, no matter how weird these bugs are, they still cannot escape their instincts as bugs, and they have a natural fear of flames.

But for such a weird thing, even knowing these two weaknesses, it is still very tricky.

"I just watched Lao Qi sinking in helplessly...I dare not do anything...He sacrificed his life for me..." Ren Tu didn't stop talking, and he was still rambling, which was obvious to Abu. He was extremely exhausted, his eyes were full of confusion, and he even cried while talking.

"Your name is Ren Tu, right? You've done a good job. With what you said, we can be prepared." Abu patted Ren Tu's shoulder lightly, trying to comfort him.

But Ren Tu was still the same, crying and talking, but his words were no longer as clear as they were at the beginning, they became vague, his voice became smaller and smaller, his eyes were half-closed as if he was about to fall asleep.

A Bu was shocked, and suddenly stood up with Ren Tu!

It was during his movement that the gleam in Ren Tu's eyes finally disappeared, and his half-closed eyes became hollow.

Abu let go, but Ren Tu stood up on his own legs, hissing sound came out from his throat, his long mouth exposed his gums, and he threw himself towards Abu with his hands raised.

"General!" The lieutenant turned pale with fright, one hand was already on the handle of the knife, but he felt a stronger force forcibly pressing down on the handle of his knife, pushing him directly a dozen steps away.

In front of Ren Tu, Abu did not know when he had regained his grip on the halberd he had obtained from Xiang Chu, his shoulders to his chest stretched out like a mountain.

"It's a man, I can only help you here." Abu, who was a little sad, raised his foot and took a step after saying this. Push your arms forward!

With a bang, only a muffled sound was heard, and Ren Tu's body suddenly went limp, as if he had been drained of strength, and fell unconscious on the ground.

When the captain caught up again, Abu had already put down the halberd and began to support Ren Tu's body.

Although his blow just now contained a lot of strength, it did not damage Ren Tu's body because of his proper control, but only killed the insect in his stomach.

He knew very well that if the captain made a move, he would probably be cut off with a single knife. Ren Tu's body was in a different place, and even if he wanted a whole corpse, he couldn't do it. Some comfort to his family.

"Go and tell the whole army that the weak point of the living corpse is in the lower abdomen." Abu confirmed it on Ren Tu, but he was not very happy, but calmly gave an order to the messenger.

But he can only do so. On Huang Yao's side, he doesn't have more manpower to support him, unless he has the authority to control the overall situation, maybe he can make some arrangements...

But now the person with authority is not at the top of the city at this time.

"Come here!" Abu was a little irritable, so he raised his voice, "Send a few more people to the palace to ask why General Zhu hasn't come back yet!"

Chapter 778

Something happened to Zhu Ran.

This is Qin Ke’s answer before he could tell Abu. If there is anything else that made him feel dark since Gao Changgong’s rebellion, it would be the same as Gongsunli who finally woke up from a coma and spoke with a mosquito-like voice. The shocking secret told.

"Gao Cheng..." Qin Ke looked at the spies from the school office who had finally arranged their military uniforms in the chaos, raised his head slightly, exchanged glances with Shen Dao and Zhou Gongjin who were on the steps, and held tightly with his right hand. hilt.

Could it be that all the good people in this world hide a sinister face under their appearance?Otherwise, how can it be explained that the seemingly idle old man of the Gao family is actually the mastermind behind a series of events in Jianye City?

It turned out that Gong Wu was really the swordsman that day, and the sachet of Xiaran spices on his waist was indeed a physical evidence.

However, this is the bait he deliberately released.

Gong Wu, who was able to do things so seamlessly, would not leave such an obvious flaw. He deliberately wore Xia Ran on his body, just to ask the school affairs office to investigate but failed. Since then, he has relaxed his vigilance against him.
