"Brother, if you haven't come up for a long time, you should be dead!"
After Qin Hao sank into the water, Ma Cheng did not rush to take the people away, but led them to stay by the river.
"Brother, if you haven't come out for so long, I've suffocated him to death!"
"Besides, he was seriously injured and there is no way he is still alive. Let's go back quickly!"
Having said this, the minion continued: "There is still food to be moved over there. We have to get there as soon as possible, otherwise... the other two teams will come back!"
This makes sense, they still have business to do.
Although he understood that Qin Hao must die, Ma Cheng still frowned and said, "I always feel that this guy might still be alive!"
"Brother, you are just thinking too much. In such a cold weather, he could freeze to death!"
Nodding, Ma Cheng said: "Okay... let's go back!"
It was not far from the yard to the river. Ma Cheng and his party quickly returned, and the others also rushed over.
Some of the men who returned early took off the soldiers' bamboo armor and put it on themselves.
"Brother, the guy we were chasing just now was really a desperado... It took a lot of effort for us brothers to kill him!"
"We are not the same. These officers and soldiers are really tough. Not one of them will kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Ma Cheng walked into the warehouse and said in a deep voice: "Kill the few who escaped just now?"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Death to death!"
"Brother, don't worry when we do things!"
After receiving a positive answer, Ma Chengcai felt relieved and said immediately: "Then stop talking nonsense, pack the food quickly, and let's leave as soon as possible!"
After hearing Ma Cheng's order, all the minions stopped talking and entered the warehouse to get busy.
Soon, the minions loaded up the food, and everyone was now carrying a load.
"Everyone, get out quickly and set a fire to burn this place down!"
Following Ma Cheng's order, the minions picked up their burdens and quickly withdrew from the yard.
Taking the firewood from the minions, and after it ignited, Mashan lit the firewood pile in the courtyard.
Soon the flames started to flare up. Looking at the raging fire, Ma Cheng smiled at the corner of his mouth.
What about the power of Prince Yong's Mansion? You can kill countless monsters, but if you don't kill yourself, you'll even burn down the house.
"Withdraw!" Ma Cheng ordered.
Every kid on the scene had almost picked up a hundred pounds, and they still had to suffer a lot before returning to the village.
Starting from the courtyard, they went all the way east, and after walking for almost seven or eight miles, they arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai.
Wutai Mountain is a series of mountains that separates 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 areas outside the mountains, all zombies have been cleared away, but there are still many zombies in the mountains.
These zombies were attracted by the small animals in the mountains and showed no signs of going outside the mountains.
Precisely because of the presence of these zombies, Ma Cheng and his party were as alert as if they were facing a formidable enemy after entering the mountains.
They must dare to return before dark. Wandering outside at night is easy to get lost, and it is also 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, the first person to return was Niu Shangzhong.
When he returned with his men, he saw a large plume of white smoke coming from the direction of the station in the distance.
"What tricks are you doing?" Niu Shangzhong whispered.
It was still far away at the moment, and there were trees blocking the way, so he couldn't see the yard.
But when they gradually approached and saw the burned-out yard, Niu Shangzhong couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
"Who put out the fire this morning?"
The first thing Niu Shangzhong thought was that his men forgot to put out the fire, causing the fire to break out after everyone left.
It was impossible for him to imagine that there were gangsters killing people and setting fires.
Niu Shangzhong quickened his pace and returned quickly with his men.
But when they were still more than 300 meters away from the yard, they found a corpse on the road, the corpse of a soldier who had been brutally killed.
At this moment, Niu Shangzhong felt that something was wrong.
He carefully checked the soldiers on the ground and found that they were Qin Hao's men, which made Niu Shangzhong's expression become more solemn.
"There is a strong enemy, 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 outside the courtyard and looked at the small courtyard that had been burned to the ground, Niu Shangzhong suddenly became angry.
"Who...who is so bold!"
Immediately, Niu Shangzhong led people into the courtyard, where most of the open flames had been extinguished.
The soldiers tried to put out the fire, and in the process, they discovered three charred bodies.
These three corpses were the first three soldiers who were ambushed and died.
"Sir, no traces of burned grain were found in the warehouse. The grain was moved away before the fire!"
Listening to the report from his men, Niu Shangzhong said solemnly: "It's not a fire, it's someone killing people and setting fire!"
At this moment, faint voices could be heard outside, which made Niu Shangzhong immediately alert.
He quickly signaled to his men to be alert, then climbed up the wall to observe, only to find that Cheng Chun had returned with someone.
Cheng Chun not only brought back people, but also brought back three corpses.
When he was more than ten feet away from the courtyard, Cheng Chun ordered his men to put the body down, and then ordered his men to form a formation and approach.
"Old Cheng, it's me!"
Hearing Niu Shangzhong's voice, Cheng Chun let his guard down, lifted the body again and approached the courtyard.
"What's going on?" These were Cheng Chun's first words when he saw Niu Shangzhong.
"The station was robbed, some of Qin Hao's men died in battle, and finally they were set on fire!" Niu Shangzhong briefly summarized.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Cheng Chun couldn't help but ask: "Where is Qin Hao? Where is Mr. Zhang Qi?"
The deeper meaning of his words was that he thought everyone was dead, so he had to look for corpses around.
"good!"
So the two of them reached an agreement and started searching the surrounding areas with the courtyard as the center.
It took about an hour, and all eleven corpses, including Zhang Ersheng, were placed in the center of the yard.
At this moment, the courtyard was extremely quiet, and everyone felt very heavy.
"Except for the three people in the yard, everyone else fled in different directions, which shows that they were breaking out!"
"The team led by Qin Hao is very strong. It can scatter them and flee. The enemy must be very strong!"
This is Niu Shangzhong's analysis. Although he is not as motivated as Qin Hao, his mind is very flexible.
Cheng Chun agreed with his inference, nodded slightly, and then asked: "What should we do?"
"On our own, not to mention whether we can find these thieves, even if we find them... we may not be able to capture them!"
Speaking of this, Niu Shangzhong became more serious and said: "In my opinion, it is better to report this matter to the palace and ask the palace to send reinforcements!"
After thinking carefully, Cheng Chun said: "Okay... let's do it like 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 accomplished something!"
