Chapter 34: A town without sunlight (4)

When I asked this question, Uncle Wei Jun’s face showed a strange expression. He didn’t answer my question right away, but instead thought about it for a long time.

I was outwardly patient, but inwardly I was extremely anxious. I knew that the key to everything was that night.

Fortunately, this wait did not last long, and Uncle Wei Jun spoke in a hoarse voice: “That night for me, there were no answers…”

That night, Liu Weijun gradually became uneasy while waiting. He and the soldiers, who seemed very profound, did not get along well. He could not understand them, and they also looked at him with a kind of condescending ridicule that Liu Weijun could not understand.

Many years later, perhaps he would understand that it was the laughter of a mature person looking at a childish person. But at that time, the young Liu Weijun could not understand. He just felt that the air was filled with a sense of anxiety. Why didn’t they come down?

He didn’t know if Liu Weijun’s impatience had affected the people around him, but gradually the soldiers who were tacitly and deliberately promoting a certain “truth” also became quiet. The more time passed, the more obvious this quiet atmosphere became, and it gradually spread, gradually affecting the entire group.

At first, no one thought anything was wrong with this quietness, but after a minute of this, a soldier who looked older and more stable, with a cigarette in his mouth, felt something was wrong. He suddenly threw the cigarette away and said, “I feel something is wrong. I feel cold behind my neck. I have a hunch that something is wrong. Should we go up and see how Liu and the others are doing?”

This soldier seemed to have a lot of authority among the soldiers. As soon as his words fell, everyone became slightly nervous. Another soldier said to the soldier, “Brother Li, your spiritual awareness is the best among us. Could it be… What’s the point of talking about it? Let’s go.”

Liu Weijun looked at all this with no idea what was going on. He didn’t understand how the soldiers, who had just seemed indifferent, lazy, and even a little relaxed, could suddenly become so excited. What was a spiritual sense?

But didn’t Lin Jianguo tell them to wait below?

Liu Weijun felt as if he had only just met Lin Jianguo today. When his father told the story, and when he walked the short distance to the timber depot, Lin Jianguo exuded an inexplicable aura… Liu Weijun felt an inexplicable admiration for Lin Jianguo, and subconsciously did not want to go against anything Lin Jianguo said.

However, he was unable to stop the soldiers. He was helpless and could only worry… Although at this time, Liu Weijun also felt an inexplicable chill, as if something dangerous had run out and begun to spread throughout the town… At that moment, Liu Weijun subconsciously glanced at the entire town, as if the originally dark but peaceful town had suddenly become turbulent.

The feeling at that moment made Liu Weijun’s heart tighten!

The soldiers had all stood up, and under the leadership of the soldier who had been smoking at the beginning, they were ready to go.

But at that moment, several figures appeared on the hillside, and as soon as they appeared, they ran down the hill like crazy… One of the soldiers subconsciously shone his flashlight. Under the light of the flashlight, the people rushing down the hill were not the ones who had stayed in that place at the beginning?

Lin Jianguo, Liu Er, and the three leaders of the army… Their expressions were not of fear, but of deep-seated anxiety… This expression made everyone at the bottom of the hill very surprised, so much so that one soldier subconsciously ran towards them to ask what had happened?

But they were so fast that it was as if they had suddenly burst into life’s most violent speed. They quickly passed the soldier like the wind, and then, under everyone’s astonished and surprised expressions… they ran past the group and disappeared into the night.

Liu Weijun also saw this scene. He was the most surprised of the group. He didn’t think his father could burst out with such speed. What happened on the mountain?

In an emergency like this, Liu Weijun didn’t know what to do, but some of the soldiers reacted very quickly, shouting to the backs of the few who had already run away: “Captain, what should we do?”

“Go up and get rid of everything.” In the night, a sentence floated over from afar.

“How should we handle it?”

“The usual way to handle a Class 2 mission.” The voice was getting smaller and smaller because of the distance.

However, every word of the sentence was still clearly heard by everyone present. At the time, Liu Weijun was very confused. What was a Class 2 mission?

The soldiers received their orders and quickly headed up the hill. Liu Weijun was confused and didn’t know what to do. He had followed his father and Lin Jianguo, but they had disappeared when they ran. The soldiers were going up the hill again, so what should he do?

At this time, a soldier came over and patted Liu Weijun on the head and said, “Since you are following us, then follow us up the mountain. You are lucky to be able to see a scene that many people will never see in their lifetime.”

Liu Weijun was completely at a loss at this point, and he could only follow the soldiers up the mountain.

The night wind on the mountain was even colder, and the fire was still burning fiercely… but for some reason, the white tent that had previously been covered in mysterious symbols was gone, and had been replaced by a messy pile of white cloth scattered on the ground.

There were bloodstains on the ground, which stood out on the yellow earth. It was not known whose bloodstains they were, because none of the five people who had just run down had seen anyone injured.

Before, Liu Weijun regretted not seeing the corpse, but now, after Liu Weijun had climbed the mountain, he saw the corpse of the legendary groom at first glance. This was unavoidable for Liu Weijun, because the corpse was lying next to the fire, face down, with his legs twisted into an impossible angle for a human being, one hand deeply dug into the yellow earth, and the other hand raised up, with his fingers curled into claws, looking particularly shocking.

Liu Weijun thought he was very brave, but the first time he saw the corpse, it almost made him cry, even though he didn’t see the face of the corpse.

He would never forget the claws reaching up to the sky, and the grayish skin color of the corpse, with large patches of lividity and some greenish marks. But the point is not that at all. The point is how could a corpse make such a move? If it could, it could only mean one thing: the corpse had moved before. At the thought of this possibility, Liu Weijun felt as if he was about to pee his pants with fear.

But compared to him, the soldiers were much calmer. They actually had the courage to carefully examine the corpse, and then one of the soldiers said, “It’s a completely dead body, it’s already been dealt with, there’s no possibility of any more changes. It can be dealt with in the simplest way…”

While he was talking, a soldier with a large backpack took out a white porcelain bottle from his body and sprinkled some on the body. After that, another soldier took the water bottle with him and poured the water on the body… Then a scene that Liu Weijun will never forget appeared.

The body began to emit a ‘chittering’ sound, then large bubbles began to form, and then it dissolved.

One of the soldiers thought for a moment and took out a talisman, which he threw in front of the corpse. Everything went on quietly and strangely… The sound of the corpse melting and the smell it produced when it melted were things that Liu Weijun would never forget.

“Isn’t it amazing?” Uncle Weijun said here, and the mystery had not yet been revealed, but everything was also very amazing. What was the reason for the sudden rush of people down the mountain?

In addition, he may find the second type of mission strange, and think that the powder is strange. Is it the legendary powder that turns a corpse into a zombie? This is actually a common thing for me.

I knew that the second-level mission referred to a zombie mission. Zombies have been a particularly troublesome problem since the founding of the People’s Republic, so their ‘status’ is particularly high, and they can be ranked as a second-level mission. As for the first-level mission, it requires the desert, Kunlun, and certain hidden doors in the sea to be eligible for dispatch. Of course, for something more advanced, it would be a special mission.

As for the powder, it’s not as magical as the powder that turns corpses into ash. As long as a little bit is used, the corpse can be turned into water… Anyone who has studied chemistry knows about the existence of aqua regia, so they won’t think that this powder is magical. It is indeed the best way to deal with a corpse that has turned into a corpse, but has completely turned into a corpse.

I didn’t dwell on Uncle Wei Jun’s question, but couldn’t help but ask, “Then what?”

Uncle Wei Jun looked at me and said, “Then… didn’t Wei Donglai appear? If you’ve heard that story, you should know that he’s been dead for a year or two, and he appeared in the town!”
