Chapter 828, Encountering the Fire Seed Main Force!

The tragedy in Barrier 176 far exceeded everyone’s imagination.

In just three short hours, the entire barrier was littered with corpses.

Just a month ago, 176 had similarly fallen, but Yan Liu Yuan had restrained his men and did not go on a killing spree, and the tribe that had massacred the city had been ordered by Yan Liu Yuan to hang them all.

But this time was different, this time, the northern clans went on a killing spree in the 176th barrier, harvesting all the lives in a way that was close to slaughtering the city.

Amidst the wailing, Barrier 176 was transformed into a hell on earth.

In the past, the factories in the Barrier would always have chimneys steaming with long white smoke, but today the white smoke was no longer there, instead, there was black smoke floating in the air everywhere, and there were fires everywhere in the Barrier.

More than a hundred years after the appearance of the Barrier Alliance, something like a massacre had finally happened.

Wang’s garrison didn’t fight these northern groups to the end, they only had time to see the other side plant the White Bear’s flag at the highest point in the center of the Barrier, and immediately retreated to the south in an attempt to join up with Wang’s main force that had been reinforced over.

Originally, the garrison of Barrier 176 wasn’t too much, and Wang’s speed of mobilizing troops to the north was ultimately a step too slow.

In the north, the big man in charge of commanding the forward troops of the Expeditionary Corps walked into the city with his own giant axe in his hand, and he looked at the adjutant beside him, “Where’s Black Robe, why haven’t I seen Black Robe?”

“He was in charge of staging in the barriers, but we haven’t seen any sign of him since we entered the barriers, and then along with the death row inmates under his control, he also disappeared,” said the adjutant.

The big man who was almost two meters tall sneered, “Hiding his head, I don’t know what the general sees in him that he indulges him so much.”

The adjutant’s face straightened as he reminded, “Officer Valentin, you must never question the general’s decisions in public again.”

“Go find him,” Valentin said, “Yegor, if you can’t figure out what he’s doing before sunset, go back to your company.”

Without another word, Yegor took his giant axe and led a company away, while Valentin sat on top of a ruin, admiring the ruins of Barrier 176 …… which was the work of the Expeditionary Corps.

At this time, there were too many dead and wounded at Barrier 176, so no one would even notice that those gray experimental bodies did not kill everyone they met, but instead captured some people and brought them to an underground laboratory.

The incandescent lights of the underground laboratory were dimming, and the experimental body shrouded in black robes was standing in front of an operation table, where hundreds of human beings were tied to the ground, letting out terrified cries.

But no one could hear their cries for help, and the Wang’s garrison had collapsed, so no one would come to their rescue even if they heard them.

Dozens of strong experimental bodies in a crawling position roamed around the huge laboratory to prevent any humans from escaping.

The black robe was a bit surprised, he didn’t think he could find such a well-equipped lab to come to even in this Barrier 176, but it looked like the forces in this Barrier only had the equipment, and all the research conducted was worthless.

But now it was different, this lab was important because of his arrival, and in the eyes of the black robes, it was probably the only thing the worthless barriers’ administrators had to commend them on.

He picked up a syringe and slowly pushed all the small bubbles in the syringe out of the needle before walking over to a young woman.

The black robe crouched down next to the female and laughed hoarsely, “As a new subject of my kingdom, you should feel honored.”

The woman pleaded, “Please let me go, I still have my parents to take care of, I don’t want to die.”

“It’s okay, you’ll soon forget these human emotions,” said the black robe.

Suddenly, the woman saw the gray face under the black robe, and instantly flinched backward in even greater horror, only because her arms and legs were bound, she could only struggle in vain as she cried out, “Monster! You are also a monster!”

The black robe slowly got up, the word monster sounded particularly harsh to his ears, he let the woman in front of him keep struggling, but he never said a word.

In the end, he waved his hand, the experimental body next to him immediately pounced over and tore the woman to shreds, blood spattered onto the laboratory floor, incomparably horrifying.

The black robe, on the other hand, silently walked towards the next person.

He injected all the humans one by one, and then those people’s veins first slowly turned gray, as if there was a strange gray worm crawling in their veins, and then, these people’s skin also began to whiten and turn gray, and under the incandescent light it looked abnormally morbid.

Suddenly one of the experiments came through the doorway, it crawled up to the black robes and hissed, the black robes frowned, “Take them out of here through the other exit and wait for my call in the wilderness.”

With that, he walked straight out of the lab back to the surface and looked at Yegor’s approaching figure hoarsely asking, “You wanted to see me?”

“Chief Valentin needs to know what you’re doing,” Yegor said in a cold voice.

The black robe calmly explained, “Just visiting.”

“Is that so?” Said Yegor as he ordered his men to search the lab behind the black robe, as well as the underground building, and found nothing.

After Yegor got the reply, he said, “Officer Valentin said that you’d better not pull any tricks under his nose.”

The black robe laughed hoarsely, “Don’t be nervous, there’s no need to be so afraid of me, and the general trusts me, doesn’t he? Instead of coming to me, why don’t you go after the fleeing Wang’s garrison, I think that’s the biggest mistake you’ve made, because they’ll deliver the news as soon as possible, and then bring more Central Plains people back here, when that time comes, even as strong as the Expeditionary Corps will be bloodied, and it’ll be a grueling battle.”

Yegor turned around and walked away, to be honest he didn’t want to stay with this black robe for even a second longer, when talking to the other party it would feel like his skin was being wrapped around by a poisonous snake, the sticky and cold feeling was disgusting.

……

The Trinity Society’s convoy escaped the chaotic area of Barrier 31 without any problems, when they arrived at the western gate, that gate had been opened at some point, it seemed that it was not only Kong Erdong who had fled, but a large number of Barrier Managers who had also become deserters.

Ren Xiaosu looked at a map in the co-pilot seat and said: ”We’d better not go back the same way, I suspect we’ll encounter a large number of Kong’s deserters there, since the fire troops were able to reach the 31st ledge, the 32nd must have already been finished, and at this time, Kong’s deserters are feared to be in the thousands, and they will cause a great deal of trouble for all the refugees. So let’s go around to the south a bit more, and try to avoid the rout routes that the deserters are prone to choose.”

As a result, just as the words fell, Yang Xiaoguan beside him unexpectedly stepped on the brakes, and for a moment, all of the Trinity Society’s caravan came to a halt.

Ren Xiaosu raised his head to look, and he saw an encircling Fire Seed troop!

This Fire Seed Company, not knowing when, had actually completed their siege on Barrier 31!
