Chapter 872 - Listening In On The Battle Plans (1/2)

“Why are they avoiding you?” Yang Xiaojin asked in confusion as she walked up the steps of the Great Wall. “What’d you do when you went to get your food just now?”

As Ren Xiaosu went to get food by himself earlier, Yang Xiaojin did not know what he had done.

Ren Xiaosu said with a laugh, “It’s nothing important. You don’t have to worry about the details.”

Yang Xiaojin looked at him curiously and thought to herself, ‘As if nothing important happened!‘ None of the Pyro Company soldiers even dared to make eye contact with Ren Xiaosu anymore!

“By the way, can you really move around in the base freely with that black ID given by P5092?” Yang Xiaojin asked, “You said you were going to test it out…”

Midway through her sentence, Yang Xiaojin guessed why the Pyro Company soldiers did not even dare to look straight at Ren Xiaosu. Her mentioning to him to test it out must have really frightened them.

The two of them walked onto the walls and looked out. What they saw was not the forest in the distance but the sight of barbarian corpses that extended outwards from the bottom of the walls!

They saw that the Pyro Company soldiers had erected several thousand wooden stakes outside the Great Wall and hung all the barbarian corpses on them one by one. Ren Xiaosu gasped. “P5092 is more ruthless than I thought. Is he trying to make the barbarians attack this section of the Great Wall?”

“Looks like it.” Yang Xiaojin nodded.

Ren Xiaosu turned his head and looked at the Pyro Company soldier on duty close by. “Come here for a sec.”

The Pyro Company soldier was nearly driven to despair. “Sir, I really can’t sing…”

Yang Xiaojin chuckled, “Hehe.”

Ren Xiaosu hurriedly said, “I’m not asking you to sing. I just wanted to ask you something. Did the barbarians come and attack this section of the walls during the past few days?”

“Yes.” The Pyro Company soldier explained with a sigh of relief, “At the beginning, they kept launching feint attacks and tried to lure out the 3rd Division’s main forces, but a lot of them were killed. With so many of the barbarians’ corpses hanging under the walls, it greatly affected their morale. Therefore, they attempted multiple times to come and take back the bodies, but they ended up getting beaten back instead.”

Ren Xiaosu nodded. It was no wonder the barbarian corpses at Mt. Dashi had all disappeared. So it turned out they had been transported here by P5092.

Truly, P5092 was also a very ruthless person. Ren Xiaosu noticed no corpses were hanging under the walls where the other divisions were stationed. Once the war fully broke out, this place would most likely come under the heaviest attack.

Ren Xiaosu said, “Since it’s already spring, the weather will only get warmer. If these corpses are left hanging outside the walls, they could cause a plague outbreak. Even with a wall separating us, the germs could still get blown inside by the wind.”

“It’ll be fine.” The Pyro Company soldier said, “We’ve already ‘pickled’ those corpses with slaked lime.”

Even for someone like Ren Xiaosu who was unfazed by many things, he was still left a little speechless when he heard this. Why were all the Pyro Company soldiers so savage? They actually talked about this like they were pickling vegetables?

But at this moment, a dense group of black dots appeared on the horizon. The Pyro Company soldier said to Ren Xiaosu, “Sir, please get off the walls quickly. The barbarians are here!”

With that, the soldier began reporting the enemy’s disposition on the radio. Within two minutes, the entire 3rd Division sprang into action, and P5092 quickly came on the walls as well.
