C40 Phantom

When I stuck my head out in fear, I didn't see the surrounding area. Under the starry sky, there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky and the whole courtyard was empty.

There was no light, no figure, no bullets. Everything was as quiet as a ghost.

I was stunned for a long time, and was still unable to recover from the shock. Then, Chi Lishu's urging came from below, and she asked me what I wanted to do by blocking the door, and if I wanted to go up, I would go down, and if I wanted to come down, then I would come down.

At first, I didn't react. After a few seconds, I realized that she had predicted all of this and didn't ask me about the situation above.

Could it be that she also understood the silence outside?

I did not hesitate anymore and crawled out of the cellar towards the exit, following that, Liu Zhao also crawled out. He looked around and could not help but be shocked, what was going on, why is there no one in this buddhist courtyard?

That shouldn't be the case. With the firepower from that day, how could it be so quiet?

Where did he go?

Could it be that they are waiting for us outside?

Thinking about this, I turned around and walked around the courtyard before returning to the entrance of the cellar. I saw that Ai Ma, the Frenchman, was arranging for the people to crawl out of the cave one by one, while Chi Lishu was still inside waiting for everyone to crawl out.

I lay down at the mouth of the cave and asked her what had happened, where the hell had those people gone?

In the midst of all the noise, she heard her laughter. She told me how she knew.

Hearing this, my eyebrows jumped a few times.

When we snuck into that drug lord's nest, the poppy flower was blooming and would be dead in a few days. This is a huge amount of money, no matter what happened, they wouldn't be able to leave.

Unless some government army came to destroy the bandits?

I couldn't find anyone to discuss it with, so I turned around and saw Liu Zhao. Liu Zhao was leaning on the wall, and thought that he was about to escape, so I rushed behind him and pointed the rifle at his back, and bellowed: "Liu Zhao, don't play any tricks with me, do you believe that I will shoot you?"

Hearing my explosive shout, Liu Zhao let out an "Ah" sound and directly tumbled down from the wall.

After he fell to the ground, his entire body trembled in fear. He covered his head with his hands and whined as if he had seen something terrifying.

I saw him react so much, and he was a little confused. He said, "Don't do this, if you don't run away, I won't do anything to you."

I was trying to persuade him, but Liu Zhao was still trembling from head to toe, and the gaze he gave me was filled with fear, and at that moment, I felt that he was not doing it because of my warning just now, but because of what I saw on the wall.

Curious, I walked over to the wall with the gun in my hand and kicked it up. I leaned against the wall and looked out.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, many people were sprawled on the dark village road.

Dead.

My eyes widened as I looked out. I noticed that the entire village was filled with dead people. Some were lying on their stomach, some were sitting, and some were lying on the ground. However, not a single person was standing.

What on earth had happened to turn this old nest of drug lords into such a state?

Death Domain!

I tried to find a living person in the village, but my eyes constantly swept the area, yet I could not find a single one. I could not help but be shocked, and my heart was slightly enlightened, knowing that the current situation was definitely related to Chi Lishu.

The reason why she was so calm while staying in the cellar was not because she was unprepared.

Even as I was worrying, she had the whole situation under control, and it was so horrific.

Lying on the wall, I felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

I found that I didn't know her as well as I had expected. All I could see was her side, and I didn't know anything else at all.

Thinking this, I couldn't help but feel cold all over.

I don't know how much time passed before I heard someone call me. I turned my head and saw her smiling behind me. She smiled at me and said, "How is it? Did I fulfill my promise?"

I wonder, how did you do it?

This time, she didn't try to keep me guessing, but waited for me to come down and patiently explain to me that the world is actually full of lies. Although this place looks very powerful, as long as I can grasp its weaknesses and weaknesses, I would be completely vulnerable to a single blow. In fact, apart from concocting the powder that can make it hot and replenish energy, I also prepared some good things that can be used to entertain these drug lords …

Ah, these people, they were all poisoned to death?

When did she poison it?

Did he do it while I was picking herbs or sleeping?

My mind was filled with doubts. Suddenly, I remembered something else. I pointed at the outskirts of the village and said with astonishment, "There are dozens of farmers. Could it be that you also …"

She opened her big watery eyes and stared at me. Do you think I'd do that?

For some reason, after hearing her words, I felt at ease. I shook my head and said no, I felt that a person who loved and hated others so much would not do something like that.

She smiled and said that although the farmers were helping the evil, they were forced to do it anyway, so I didn't do it. I figured that after these people died, they would leave this place, and as for where they went and the fate of each of them, that was not something I could imagine.

I let out a long sigh and said I didn't expect you to complete such a difficult task.

She was in high spirits as she proudly said, "That's right, I said that I would return to the north. Back then, she was so awe-inspiring and majestic, so how could I weaken her reputation?"

As the two of them talked, Ai Ma brought her companions who had regained some of their spirit and helped them count all the pitiful hostages before coming over to report to Chi Lishu.

She listened for a while, and then said to Ai Ma and the others: "The situation here is very unpredictable, we don't know if anyone will still be alive, so we can't stay here any longer, we have to quickly leave and go into the forest. I have taught everyone how to walk in the forest. From now on, take care of each of you.

Ai Ma and the rest followed her, the savior of lives. With her orders, everyone immediately organized themselves and left the backyard.

From beginning to end, we did not go to the front of the temple to take a look.

It made me a little flustered.

Even though I trust Chi Lishu, my reasoning told me that since the Master Gouda was able to form such a force, he definitely wasn't some idiot. He also wouldn't be struck down by a poison case that suddenly occurred.

So the rest of our journey was fraught with danger.

I was on high alert, holding the automatic rifle in my hand and trying to look as experienced as I could. Under the moonlight, I kept aiming at the place where there was a chance that someone was hiding.

Chi Lishu allowed this old horse, Liu Zhao, to lead the way, while I escorted the old fellow. The line was very long, she had no choice but to rush to the front and back, helping to maintain order, so that these people would maintain their ranks and not lose their balance.

Leaving the temple's backyard, we walked all the way to the front of the village. At this moment, the number of corpses on the road started to increase, and I couldn't help but look at them. I could see that they had probably just fallen down not long ago.

She was truly too powerful. With just a single move, so many people had already died.

For some reason, there were some things that I couldn't explain in my heart. Some were fear, some were shock, and some were filled with an unfamiliar emotion.

Just as I was immersed in this feeling, I suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd behind me. A woman's scream sounded out, and when I looked back, a chill ran from my heels all the way to the top of my head.

The corpses that were originally dead stood up shakily. One of them even grabbed a young woman's ankle and bit down on it.

What was going on?

A dead body?

I was trembling all over, but I remembered my duty. I aimed at one of them, took a precise look at it, and pulled the trigger.

Ka, ka …

I thought that the rifle would be able to shoot out bullets and tear this swaying corpse into pieces, but I didn't expect that on the body of the gun, other than those two sounds, there was nothing else.

Did something happen?

Ah, yes, insurance — I forgot to open it. Ah, that's a shame.

By the time I reacted, that guy had already knocked the girl down to the ground, held her head and started to gnaw fiercely. I panicked, raised my hand and swung the spear, the muzzle swung so hard, I didn't fire like this, the bullet almost shot through the crowd.

I didn't dare do it again. I rushed forward, aimed at my heart, and pulled the trigger.

This is called a head-to-head shot, with a hundred hits.

However, just as I was about to reach him, I was suddenly struck on the back of the waist. I turned my hand and smashed the butt of my spear into the man's head. Turning around, I saw a dead person throw me to the ground, press down on my arms, and then open his mouth to bite my neck.
