Chapter 42 The Smell of the Burnt Corpse

After the three long and two short toad calls responded to the three short and two long frog calls, the four of Yan Zhi joined up with the three of Kuang Dawei who came forward.

This "password" of responding to the cry of the frog with the cry of a toad is a bit weird, which makes Yan Zhi feel corny, but it is very effective. He would never have thought that toad and frog could be used as the team's password tonight.

To be honest, Yan Zhi couldn't learn it, whether it was the cry of a toad or a frog.

It's almost like learning them to dance.

Kuang Dawei said that they had been observing the surrounding area of ​​the village for a while, but they did not find any ghosts.From time to time, someone moaned in pain in the village. Just 2 minutes ago, I heard the cry of a child. I stopped crying for a while. Could it be an accident?Since there is no order from the chief, they can only be anxious and dare not act rashly.

Yan Zhiqiang suppressed the urge in his heart to rush in to save the child, but his intuition unique to top killers told him that there were many dangers in the village, and there were infinite murderous opportunities, if he rushed in to save people, he would die.

Yan Zhi comforted Kuang Dawei and the others that people must be saved, but they should not act rashly, otherwise not only would they not be able to save people, but the team would also be in danger of overturning.

The three of Kuang Dawei took cover, Yan Zhi, Wu Zhonghua, Xu Zheyou, and Fang You climbed up a big tree, looked down into the village from a high position.

The village was full of flames, and flames and black smoke were everywhere, baking away the surrounding mist.

Looking at the ground in the stockade, Yan Yi's heart was trembling and angry.There are many corpses lying on the ground in the village. The blood has not yet solidified. Judging from the appearance of the corpses, most of them are young and middle-aged men. Most of them are wearing short clothes. They still hold bows and arrows, shotguns, or farm implements. Some self-protection weapons such as heads fell at the door of their own houses, and some fell on the open space outside the house.

This made Yan Zhi firmer in his judgment.The devils entered the village and killed all the young and strong men, leaving the old and young women and children as living bait, waiting and forcing the Chichi Valley team to go in and rescue people.

However, there was no sound of someone calling for help at this time.

The village has only one gate, and several piles of firewood at the gate have also been lit, and the fire is burning vigorously.

Looking inside from the gate of the village, you can vaguely see a few people tied or hanging from some big trees in the village. The strange thing is that there are a few small piles of firewood in this open space, but the devils did not light the firewood, so The light is relatively dim, and it is difficult to see whether a few people are alive.

Even though the four of them were on a high ground, they could still smell burnt and foul smells from time to time.

Yan Zhi held the binoculars in his hand and asked in a low voice: "It seems that this is not just the smell of burning corpses."

Wu Zhonghua pinched his nose and said in a low voice: "It seems to have the smell of burnt fur mixed with charred corpses."

"This is the smell of burnt wolf fur." ​​Xu Zheyou said in a low voice, "I encountered wolves when I was fighting a guerrilla before and killed several big wolves. The wolf meat is too rough to chew and it is not good to eat. At that time It was too hot to store wolf meat, so we kept a few wolf legs, and burned all the remaining wolf meat and wolf skins to prevent them from rotting. The smell of burning wolves at that time was the same as the smell coming out of the stockade now. The smell of burnt skin and fishy smell."

Fang You said: "It makes sense. Although humans also have hair, it disappears instantly after being burned. Wolf hair is different from human hair. It is thick and plentiful and is attached to wolf skin. It is very fire-resistant, and wolves have strands on their bodies. The smell of wolf smell is even stronger when it is burned, and it can suffocate people to death."

Yan Zhi nodded: "Just now, I judged from the fact that the wolves did not enter the village that there are snipers among the devils.

I speculated that the devils must have worried that letting the wolves into the village would affect the determination of the Chinese army to save people, so they asked the snipers to shoot the wolves that entered the village.

The sound of a sniper rifle is small and can be ignored even in the quiet of the night, while the sound of the [-]th Gai can be heard several miles away in the middle of the night and is easily exposed.

A companion was killed, so the wolves were forced to withdraw from the stockade, daring not to enter but reluctant to leave outside.

The devils were worried that the dead wolf would arouse the suspicion of the Chinese army, so they threw the wolf's body into the fire to destroy the corpse, but they did not expect that this would expose their conspiracy even more. "

Xu Zheyou, Fang You, and Wu Zhonghua kept nodding their heads. The chief's detailed analysis was convincing.

Yan Zhi asked: "Fangyou Xu Zheyou, where are the two wolves now? Why is there no wolf howling?"

Xu Zheyou said: "The big wolves and ghosts are very smart. They suffered a lot from the devils just now. If they didn't leave, they were waiting for an opportunity in secret."

Fang You said: "The big wolves are not only ghost spirits, but also hold vengeance. The wolves must hate the devils for hurting their comrades. But it's hard to say about the hungry wolves. They are so hungry that they even eat the injured companions."

Yan Zhidao: "I really hope that the wolves don't leave. We have good hunters who understand wolves, but the devils don't. This is equivalent to adding the wolves to our team."

Xu Zheyou, Wu Zhonghua, and Fang You, the three of them looked at each other for a few moments. The commander's brains are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. He actually pulled the wolves into our team with a few words.

This operation is so coquettish.

At this moment, a few gray wolves appeared in Yan Zhi's binoculars, wandering around the junction of light and dark in the west of the gate, as if they were afraid of the fire in the village.

Xu Zheyou, who was holding a binoculars, also saw it, and said in a low voice: "Sir, these wolves appeared from the southwest of the gate of the village. They should be the group of wolves later. I judge that they haven't suffered from the devils yet, and now they want to Trying to enter the village to find the dead body. Now the army is in chaos, and even the wolves have a hard time, so they come from tens of kilometers away, taking risks to find food."

It is not only the life of wolves that is difficult, but the life of people is even more difficult. In the era of wars and chaos, it is not bad to be able to live without being starved to death.

The bark and wild vegetables that can be eaten in the mountains are almost eaten up by the hungry people. Those rabbits, pheasants, and even small voles are almost caught and extinct. The food left for the wolves is almost all weeds.

Now Yan Zhi finally understands that the Big Big Wolf in "Joyful and Big Big Wolf" has never eaten mutton, so why can he live without a brain.

Xu Zheyou continued: "The later pack of wolves was relatively small. When we got here, we had to wait for the big pack of wolves that came earlier to eat and leave, and then they went into the stockade to look for food. The pack of wolves not only competed for territory, but also fought for food. , Casualties are also common. The big wolves suffered a lot when they entered the village, and now they are hiding in the dark, so the little wolves couldn't help but want to go in."

At this moment, a few wolves tried several times, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of food, and ran into the stockade. Behind them, a dozen big wolves sprang out from different positions, bypassed the fire, and headed towards the stockade. run away.

God help the band of brothers!What Yan Zhi wanted was this opportunity.The reason why he was so cautious was because he concluded that there were snipers in the devil's army.

During World War II, snipers existed like gods of war, and they killed people.

On the battlefield, when soldiers can't hear the gunshots of the other side, they can see their comrades fall down. This kind of deterrence is terrifying, and it will instantly disintegrate the soldiers' fighting spirit.

In the open space between the fires, a dozen or so big wolves were completely exposed to the flames.
