Book 2: Chapter 7

Book 2: Chapter 7

A type of armor similar to chain mail (1) was put on Qi Tiezuis body, except that grenades had been attached all over it.

The night was getting darker, and the forest was full of the sounds of night owls and all kinds of insects.

It was even more humid at night, so almost everyone was completely wet. But there were hardly any mosquitoes since the Zhang family was around.

Qi Tiezui watched Zhang Xiaoyu fiddle with the armor and said, What do you think? Does Fo Ye have something against me personally?

Fo Ye must have done this for a reason. Otherwise, he wouldnt have rashly put you in danger. He must be very confident that this will work.

If hes that confident, can we just discard the grenades? There are still more than a dozen ears of corn in my bag. How about you replace the grenades with corn?New novel chapters are published on

Fo Ye says that if youre dragged away by the monster, itll probably be very difficult to save you, so you should just pull the grenade pins. That way, youll be considered to have made great contributions to the eighty-two villages.

Now I understand where Fo Yes confidence comes from, Qi Tiezui said.

Fo Ye says that youve done the calculations yourself, so you should be able to face your fate calmly, Zhang Xiaoyu said. Thats why youll pull the grenade pins yourself.

Ill never pull them. Im going to scream for help until my last breath. Im going to scream bloody murder so that Zhang Qishan will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Dont worry, Ba Ye. Well feel guilty about it.

Zhang Xiaoyu finished preparing Qi Tiezui properly before giving him a wind lantern. It was specially made so that it could hang high above Qi Tiezuis head from a stick that was inserted into the armor. That way, Qi Tiezui wouldnt be invisible once he walked far away from them.

As all of the others hid in the darkness, Qi Tiezui suddenly couldnt see anyone. It was as if he was the only person in the forest.

Theyll feel guilty. Theyll feel guilty. Guilty, my ass! Qi Tiezui took a moment to calm himself down before he decided to risk it all. Indeed, just as Zhang Qishan had said, Qi Tiezui was very confident in his calculations.

If there was only one baby crying, Qi Tiezui wouldnt be able to tell who was who. But with the two babies crying at the same time, Qi Tiezui immediately realized that the baby on his left was the one they had brought with them from the village, because that child always cried half-heartedly.

But what was crawling towards him? The sound of that baby crying was almost right in front of him, so he raised his gun and got ready for a monster to come out of the darkness.

At this time, however, the sound of that baby rushing towards him suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of the crying child on Zhang Xiaoyus back. Moreover, the sound of him crying was getting farther and farther away, as if Zhang Xiaoyu was carrying the child away from him.

Qi Tiezui was holding his gun and sweating profusely when he suddenly saw a persons shadow practically stand up right next to him. He was startled, but immediately realized that it was Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan took a leap, rushed into the darkness in front of him, and hit something in one fell swoop.

Fo Ye has always been by my side to protect me, Qi Tiezui thought to himself, suddenly realizing that Zhang Qishan had never been more than three steps away from him. He felt warm in his heart. That was what he meant when he said that he was very confident this would work. But Ive been letting out a lot of smelly farts just now. Does this mean that Fo Ye.

At this time, Qi Tiezui suddenly heard the sound of a baby shrieking in front of him and all the movements disappeared.

Zhang Qishan walked out of the darkness with a strange spherical object in his hand, and Qi Tiezui knew at a glance that it was the head of something.

What did you eat last night? Zhang Qishan asked him.
