(Dear friends, the supporting building is in urgent need of villains, everyone is encouraged to sign up)
There is Tianma Mountain a hundred miles north of Yanfeng County. There is a bandit den on the mountain called Tianma Village.
In this northwest land, bandits are not everywhere, but the more remote the place, the more they are.
Yanfeng County is extremely remote, and he and Anping County, where he belongs, are the poorest places in Longyou.
Because it was poor, it was not taken seriously, so Tianmazhai was able to survive.
Don't think that the bandits in Tianmazhai are engaged in killing people and stealing goods all day long.
After all, everyone has to live, and it is inevitable that harmony will lead to wealth.
You have to kill people and steal goods, but you also have to do business, and you have to use a knife to do it.
To put it simply, it is to negotiate a protection agreement with the nearby big players, hello to me, hello to everyone.
But in the past half month, life in Tianmazhai has not been easy.
The big families at the foot of the mountain did not send any food, and there was no news from the people sent to check. Tianmazhai was in danger of running out of food.
They also grow food, but a group of women and children cannot grow much food, which is not enough for more than a hundred young and strong people.
Huang Tianyan, the head of Tianmazhai, was sitting in the hall at the moment, his previous heroic spirit had disappeared, and his face was filled with sadness.
Yesterday, he sent more than a dozen brothers down the mountain to give ultimatums to major households. If they didn't let people pay food, he would take action.
That's right, in Huang Tianyan's opinion, the people sent out before were detained.
At this moment, Huang Tianyan was anxiously waiting. All the brothers in the village were looking at him. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
At this moment, a man in sackcloth came in from outside the hall and said in a deep voice: "Brother, the mother-in-law of Dakui's family is here again with her child!"
Dakui was the first person sent out to collect food supplies. Since these heavenly beings had not returned, the family members had no choice but to ask Huang Tianyan for help.
This was another troubling matter, and Huang Tianyan felt upset again after hearing it.
"Tell him that if Da Kui doesn't come back today, I will take my brothers to kill those big dogs tomorrow!"
The man in sackcloth turned around and walked out. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the village. It was normal for bandits to be killed.
"I don't know what happened to Chen Pi going to the city to buy food!" Huang Tianyan murmured.
When Huang Tianyan went to the city to buy food, he used the little money in the village, which made him feel very sad.
Just when Huang Tianyan was about to play with the knife to relieve his worries, there was a burst of noise outside.
"What the hell happened again!" Huang Tianyan cursed, his face trembling wildly.
So he walked out with the knife. The high platform outside the hall had a wide view, and he could directly see the gate of the cottage.
I saw a large number of people gathered at the gate.
The news must have come back. Thinking of this, Huang Tianyan felt anxious and rushed over with a knife in hand.
But before he reached the gate, he heard a scream coming from the opposite side, and his brothers quickly retreated.
Could it be that the army was attacking? Although I think this is unlikely, this is the only possibility that Huang Tianyan can think of.
Seeing the master coming, a bandit immediately shouted: "Brother, those evil things that Chen Pi brought back can kill stones!"
Hearing this, Huang Tianyan felt happy, as long as he was not an officer or soldier.
He was still happy too early, and saw a dozen people in ragged clothes and disheveled hair rushing in outside the mountain gate in the distance.
And inside the mountain gate, there was a man lying on the ground, biting the stone that had not yet died. The scene was extremely bloody and terrifying.
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and kill these bastards!" Huang Tianyan cursed angrily.
These guys in the cottage are really slacking off after not seeing blood for a long time, and they were frightened when they met a group of lunatics.
But when Huang Tianyan came closer and saw clearly the ferocious face of the "madman" on the ground, as well as the terrifying gap in his neck and chest, Huang Tianyan himself felt a sense of fear.
Is this fucking human? How could he still be alive with such horrific injuries?
Of course these are not humans, but mutated zombies who were led up the mountain by human tangerine peel.
Ouch...ouch...
And the group of people who just came in from the gate all had this kind of virtue, and they were baring their teeth at the moment, expecting Huang Tianyan and others to come.
"Ouch..."
With a shrill howl, the dozen or so terrifying monsters all rushed towards the living people inside.
Although he was timid, he couldn't lose his momentum in front of all the brothers, so Huang Tianyan shouted loudly: "Damn it, I want to see what you are!"
He raised his sword and stepped forward, slashing down the zombies rushing in front with one stroke. The other bandits also picked up their weapons and followed suit.
To Huang Tianyan's surprise, the evil creature that was chopped down on the ground actually stood up and rushed over again as if nothing happened.
Huang Tianyan was horrified. He couldn't understand the scene before him. The only explanation was the theory of ghosts and gods.
Could it be that these are not humans but ghosts?
"Da Shan, you hurry up and call someone, let the others hold on for me!" Huang Tianyan burst out with outstanding leadership.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed very commendable that he did not escape with a group of his men.
Bandits are bandits after all. They are more bloody than many guards in the palace, and none of them flinched at this moment.
He raised his knife and cut, and there was blood splashing everywhere, and soon everyone was covered in blood.
These zombies could not be killed, they were beaten back and forth.
In the end, Huang Tianyan discovered that the zombies would die if their heads were cut off, but by this time seven or eight of the defending bandits had been bitten to death.
Those who died were all brothers under his command. Huang Tianyan suddenly shouted angrily: "If you chop off their heads, you can kill them!"
This time everyone's killing efficiency was much higher, but there were still a dozen zombies in total, and it still took a lot of trouble.
To cut off the head of a person who is moving around, they can only use the most primitive method, knocking down the zombie and suppressing it, and then someone will come up and kill it with a knife.
Throughout the process, almost everyone was scratched and bitten by zombies, or had zombie blood splashed into their mouths and noses.
It took more than ten minutes for everyone in Tianmazhai to resolve the battle, and the gate of the mountain village was in a mess.
"I got scratched, it fucking hurts!"
"What do you think this is? Look at my hand, it's such a big bite!"
These were still able to talk, and the bandits who had been severely bitten were already lying on the ground screaming.
Huang Tianyan was lucky, the whole thing didn't happen, and all the blood spattered was on his clothes.
"Brother, it hurts..." the man lying on the ground cried.
Scanning the surroundings, Huang Tianyan shouted: "Hurry and carry this person back, don't just stand there stupidly!"
Everyone immediately got busy and carried the injured people into the stockade, where they could be simply bandaged to reduce casualties as much as possible.
"Chen Pi... Chen Pi, where is that bastard?"
After walking around, Huang Tianyan didn't see anyone.
"Brother, he is in the tree!"
After hearing this, Huang Tianyan looked at the book next to him, where a thin young man was lying on it.
"You bastard, get out of here!"
No wonder Huang Tianyan was so angry. The evil things attracted by the tangerine peel actually killed eleven people in the village, making it difficult for Huang Tianyan to explain to these people's families.
After being scolded by Huang Tianyan, Chen Pi slipped down from the tree, still looking like he was in fear.
Seeing his trembling look, Huang Tianyan cursed angrily: "Useless things, I asked you to go to the city to buy food. Why did you bring these evil things back? Where are the others?"
"Dead, all dead... there are man-eating monsters everywhere..."
"Even the magistrate became a monster, and all my brothers were eaten..."
After hearing this, Huang Tianyan's expression became more solemn, and he knew that something serious must have happened.
