Chapter 1980 The Purpose of Taiping Road (Part 2)
The battle at the base camp has completely come to an end.
By the time I found my master, the battlefield was already being cleaned.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and the traces of battle still remained on the bodies of heavily armed soldiers, carrying the wounded away on stretchers.
The main area where the battle took place is in the center of the base camp, where we met and talked with Qian Guangqi when we first came here.
Several tents were burned and had been extinguished less than a minute ago. There were still burnt oxford cloths floating in the wind with flickering sparks, which were quickly extinguished.
A row of masked corpses lay on the ground. As expected, this must be tonight's attacker.
I took a cursory glance and found that there were no less than twenty or thirty people there.
Some of these people have scars left by swords, and some have scars left by spells. These people should have died at the hands of our group.
Some people were obviously shot.
When I passed a corpse, I saw that there was a hole on his forehead as thick as a thumb. A soldier passing by with a gun saw that I was being supported by Yao Yao, and turned sideways to make way for me, and accidentally kicked him.
There was a corpse, and then the corpse's head tilted, revealing the back of the head. A hole the size of a fist was very eye-catching. Looking at the posture, the contents of half of the head were probably sprayed out.
I tilted my mouth and thought to myself that this way of death was really tragic.
After all, cultivators are not indestructible, nor are they like zombies and demons. They are gifted with extraordinary talents and often have strong bodies that make them invulnerable. Bullets cannot deal with such things as corpses, ghosts and demons, but it is not difficult to shoot cultivators, at least when they have reached the level of Taoism.
Before a certain level, the threat of this thing is still quite great. As long as you are prepared for a fight, it goes without saying that practitioners can basically gain an advantage by using spells. But once a melee breaks out, the situation is different and it is impossible to guard against it.
The people who died here tonight were most likely the sorcerers of Taiping Dao. Not many of these people died in our hands. Sixty-seven out of ten of them were killed by bullets.
When Li Jianglong was talking to Captain Wang, my master would occasionally reply. Most of the time, he would look back and forth anxiously, but after seeing me, the anxiety on his face turned into joy.
When Team Wang saw me coming, he smiled and slapped me on the shoulder: "Brother Wei, you're finally here. Your master would have been extremely anxious. If a few brothers hadn't seen the girl next to you looking for her,
I guess your master has already been furious."
I smiled and then threw the things in my hands on the ground.
These things are naturally the human skins shed by the witch. I followed the slit that the witch made on the tent, tore off a large piece of Oxford cloth, and wrapped the human skins with the Oxford cloth, otherwise they would be scattered.
It was really hard to carry the baggage. At this moment, the baggage was thrown on the ground and fell apart, and the human skin inside was scattered out.
Team Wang glanced at it, but he didn't recognize the thing at once, and said in shock: "Aren't these stockings worn by women? Brother Wei, why are you bringing this thing over here?"
God damn stockings!
However, this also proves how skillfully the enchantress on Taiping Road can peel off human skin. She can separate several layers of human skin cleanly. The separated human skin becomes thin, and it is unknown what method was used to process it. It would have been
The hard human skin on the hair shaft becomes soft and tough. When touched, the texture is like the skin of a living girl. It is also thin and even has a translucent texture. It does look somewhat similar to stockings. No wonder Wang
The team will be disappointed at first glance.
Team Wang is eye-popping, but the people next to him are not.
Zu Shou's hands were bloody, and he estimated that he had just beaten the enemy to death with his own hands not long ago. He looked at the thing on the ground carefully, then picked it up with his foot, and his brows jumped: "Grandpa Tian, this is human skin!
"
The smile on Captain Wang's face gradually froze.
As for my master, his eyes had already been attracted by these human skins. After a moment of silence, he suddenly squatted down, picked up a piece of human skin and shook it open, as if he was carrying a piece of clothing, and said to the person next to the king's team: "
Please hold a lamp, please!"
The soldier immediately opened his flashlight and shined it on the human skin on my master's hand.
Under the light, the human skin becomes more and more translucent, and there are some mysterious lines inside. The lines are pink, like subcutaneous capillaries under the sun, but they are obviously not blood vessels, and blood vessels cannot show such lines.
, the lines are inside the human skin, giving the impression that there is an interlayer inside such a thin epidermal layer.
My master pointed the left shoulder of the human skin at the light, and the pattern on the left shoulder turned out to be like a small flower. If you look closely, it looks like... a gardenia!!
My master's face quickly darkened: "She's here..."
I was shocked and secretly thought that my master really understands that witch!
Qian Guangqi was puzzled and asked: "Who is it?"
Old Qian was obviously a refined man, but he seemed to have gone into battle tonight, and was injured. He was holding a pistol in one hand, and his left arm was bandaged roughly. The shape of the blood marks showed through, as if he had been stabbed.
My master didn't say much. He glanced around and said, "Find a place to talk."
Team Wang understood and said: "The place where the meeting was held was destroyed. Why don't we go to my usual office to talk?"
"good!"
My master nodded in agreement.
Then, Team Wang led the way, and we followed closely behind.
Qian Guangqi and I have a good relationship. On the way, I dragged Lao Qian a few steps behind and asked about tonight's situation.
Of course, there was no need for Lao Qian to hide this from me. After he told me, I found out that the battle in the base camp tonight was actually started by Lao Qian!
The general situation is that Lao Qian has been working tonight at the place where we had the meeting that day, mainly sorting out some of the information summarized by several recent scholars after seeing the black stone.
At this time, the guard outside the door suddenly walked in and told Lao Qian that Team Wang wanted information.
This information roughly includes the origin of the black stone, its unusual behavior, and the record of the entire battle process with Li Han after we entered the cross-country club that night. It also includes the recent scholars who observed the black stone.
Some inferences and guesses made...
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this.
After all, Team Wang is the main person in charge of this matter. It's okay for him to ask for these information. But the problem is, is he asking for too much information?
Team Wang himself is not engaged in research work. It is impossible for him to submit the information and conduct research in the middle of the night. If he wants to submit all the information, he can only... report it to the superiors, or organize it and hand it over to the newly arrived workers.
personnel.
It was impossible for Captain Wang not to tell his second-in-command about the report. Moreover, if there was anything to report in the middle of the night, it would be even more impossible if the new scholars asked for it, because these people had nothing to do with Qian Guangqi.
The relationship is particularly good, they just finished the discussion an hour ago, and they have authority, so there is no need to go through the King Team to find him.
Therefore, Qian Guangqi felt that something was wrong.
Lao Qian has seen the world. After all, he has followed us through even the Ruin Ruins, and he knows that there are many deceptive disguises in this world.
But he was the only one in the tent at that time. What would he do if something happened?
So he was careful and didn't directly call Team Wang to inquire about it, for fear of irritating the other party. Instead, he excused himself and said that there were still a few pieces of information that were not ready and asked the guard to wait a moment.
Then, he made a cup of coffee for the guard and said that he might need some time and asked him to have a cup of coffee and rest first.
The reason for doing this was that he knew this guard, who had a problem. His stomach was intolerant to coffee, and he would have diarrhea after drinking it, and the diarrhea was very serious, so the guard never drank anything like this.
If it were a normal day, if he poured the other party a cup of coffee and let him drink it, the other party would definitely shirk it and joke, "Mr. Qian, you don't want me to work tomorrow!"
As a result, after he poured the coffee for the guard, he kept trying his best to persuade him, as if if you don't drink, you look down on me, I won't do my job. Under his urging, the guard directly picked up the coffee and drank it...
Qian Guangqi immediately confirmed that this guy was definitely a fake.
So, he said with a smile, he went to get something, turned around, opened the cabinet, took out the pistol in the cabinet, turned around and pointed a few shots at the guard. The guard was also a tough guy, he was shot several times, and even drew his knife to attack
He came up and gave Lao Qian a knife before he died.
Lao Qian screamed, took the knife from the dead man's hand, slashed the tent with the knife, and escaped from the back.
At the same time, as soon as the gunfire rang out, the entire camp exploded!
The soldiers rushed out one after another, and the demons on Taiping Road also knew that they were exposed and prepared to rob them. The two sides immediately fought together...
I was dumbfounded when I heard about Lao Qian's experiences and encounters. Then, combined with my own experiences, the entire operation of Taiping Dao became clear to me!
