Chapter 1114: The Silent Village

And the two are not afraid of fighting at night, and darkness will be the best disguise for the two.

So Yang Hao and Mu Xi continued to move forward in the forest, in order to grab that little bit of time, although they knew that they might get nothing, but at least there was such a goal, and neither of them was willing to lose such an opportunity to be able to make peace with their companions, so all possibilities were worth trying.

The night was relatively calm, and there was no gunfire around, only the sound of the wind blowing, and the subtle cries of insects chirping in some corner. It was not until midnight that the two found a suitable place to stop and spend the rest of the night.

Although they lacked ammunition, they had plenty of food and water. Early in the morning, when the two of them had eaten their fill, they continued on the road and headed straight towards the village.

The location of the village is still dozens of kilometers away from here, and the road in the forest is not easy to walk, and it takes a long time to travel these dozens of kilometers.

As the morning came, there were still gunshots that they had become accustomed to and familiar around, but these had nothing to do with them for the time being, and the two of them tried to avoid any firefights, while quickly approaching their destination.

It wasn't until dusk that the two finally saw the village in front of them.

The forest around the village is clearly showing signs of deforestation, and it seems to be a small village built here by a group of mountain people, and the roads are very rudimentary, with no concrete or any traces of a modern city, just dirt roads and stone roads. The houses in the village are also all made of wood, and the number is very small, roughly counting the past and there are only 12 houses in total, and only three of them are relatively tall, probably with two floors. Everything else is a small one-story house.

At this time, the village is completely bathed in the red sunlight of dusk, and the surrounding environment also sets off the tranquility of the time, without any traces of gunsmoke and gunfire. If this is not in the middle of the battlefield, such a place seems to be very suitable for living.

Since it was not yet night, the two did not dare to get too close. They could only look at the village in the distance in the forest, and they would never dare to enter the open place in front of them. But even so, the village was quiet and eerie, with no signs of anyone moving and no movement.

This is obviously inconsistent with the judgments of Yang Hao and Mu Xi.

The two looked at each other, and although they didn't know what was unusual about the village, it was obviously not a good time to get closer. You have to wait until the sun goes down and the night falls before you can act on your own.

Have the night to cover yourself, so that you can get closer with a better disguise.

There was still some time before the night, just enough time to rest. The two waited until night really came, and the surroundings were completely dark, and then they slowly came out of the forest.

In the open field ahead, the trees were cut down. The roots of the trunks are still there. Everywhere else there are weeds that are not tall, but not very short. It's also a very good disguise for the two. Both of them lay on the ground, slowly approaching the village, very patient.

There was no light or fire in the village until now, and the two of them thought about this situation for a while, but they didn't think much about it.

It's a battlefield, light a fire or turn on the lights. It is tantamount to actively exposing one's position and attracting enemy fire. Even if you hide in the village and are suddenly attacked by the enemy, it is also quite dangerous, so turn on the lights or something. It is the most dangerous move, and the person who will do such a move has already died on the battlefield.

Maybe even a sniper is staring around right now.

The two did not let their guard down, and little by little they approached the village. Until the two of them reached the entrance of the village, there was still no situation around.

Yang Hao began to feel that something was wrong.

According to my own expectations, I was lucky to be able to lurk here. But his luck seems to be a bit too good, not only did he not see any danger, not a single mine, trap, tripping mine or anything else appeared, and there was no sign of people. Mu Xi's ears have been erect, but except for the sound of the wind, no other sound has entered Mu Xi's ears.

It's like...... There's no one like this in the first place.

Yang Hao adjusted his breathing to the minimum, stopped moving, and then turned on the thermal imaging scope and began to scan the surroundings on the spot.

The result is...... There is no one.

In the surrounding forests, too, and in the villages, there is no heat source.

This is so abnormal!

Suddenly, Yang Hao felt Mu Xi poke his shoulder. Yang Hao turned his head and saw Mu Xi pointing to the front of the two.

There were no weeds in front of it, because it was already part of the village, and the path in the middle was still bare, without any vegetation growing. And what Mu Xi refers to is precisely that location.

Yang Hao followed Mu Xi's fingers and looked over, and immediately, he was also stunned.

In the middle of the road, a dark shadow was placed in that place. Both of them were wearing night vision devices, and they could see clearly that the thing was a corpse.

Corpse? Was there a firefight here?

Although the details of the clothing on the corpse could not be seen, Yang Hao still recognized it at a glance, this was the combat uniform worn by the soldier, but it was impossible to confirm whether the soldier was a Chinese soldier or a Japanese soldier. Next to the corpse, a rifle could be seen still in that place, and from that position, the man must have had exchanged fire before he was killed.

The two men became vigilant and did not leave the grass, but moved towards the other side.

It was the middle of the village, it was too exposed, Yang Hao didn't choose that way, but walked towards the back of a room, and when he came here, the two of them squatted up and hid against the wall.

But when they stood up, the two immediately made another discovery.

In the corner of the wall five meters away from him, there was another corpse lying there, but he seemed to be very peaceful, there were not too many traces of struggle and messy footprints around, he should have been assassinated by someone at close range, and it was a knife death, and he couldn't even shoot the warning bullet.

Yang Hao walked over, moved the body over, and examined it carefully.

Standing next to it, you can see it very clearly. This soldier is wearing a Japanese combat uniform, he is a Japanese soldier, and the equipment on his body is relatively complete, from the perspective of equipment, this should not be the equipment that an ordinary soldier will equip, because it is too complete, almost anything that can be used in any situation and terrain can be found on this corpse, so Yang Hao can judge that this soldier should belong to the Japanese special forces force.

Such a special soldier was killed at close range, which shows the high ability of the person who sneaked attack, Yang Hao felt a little terrible when he thought about it.

There is only one injury in the whole body, located in the back of the head, which was stabbed into the head by a saber, and judging from the wound, the angle of this knife was slightly higher, directly stabbed into the brain, cutting off the nerve center, so that the person was almost silently killed. The blood on the ground has already been sucked dry by the ground, and when you touch it, there is no fresh blood on your hands, and you can only touch something similar to blood clots.

The corpse is also in a stiff state now, but due to the light problem, Yang Hao can't see anything like corpse spots, so it is difficult to judge the time of the soldier's death. However, judging from the stiffness of this corpse, the time of death was at least more than twelve hours.

Twelve hours ago, it was early in the morning. Who can silently kill a well-trained special forces soldier in broad daylight, in such an open area?

From this point, Yang Hao felt that this person's death time might have been earlier, at least before dawn, and he had already been killed.

Yang Hao narrowed his eyes, withdrew his sniper rifle, took out his saber, gestured at Mu Xi behind him, followed the wall, and began to move towards the front.

There are windows on the walls of the wooden house, but there are no glass or other products here, all of them are simple wooden windows, supported by a wooden stick, which makes it more convenient for Yang Hao to observe the situation in the house. Approaching the window, I poked my head out a little and looked in, but I couldn't find anything at all.

The room was relatively clean and tidy, with no signs of fighting, only a little messy on the bed on the side. Walking through three rooms in a row, it was the same, there were no corpses, and there were no traces of a fight.

But Yang Hao found a gun hole on the wall next to the window in the fourth room.

The hole of the gun is very small, almost the diameter of the bullet, and there are no traces of fragmentation around it, so it seems that the impact of the bullet is very large, and it almost does not bring much damage to the walls of the wooden house. Stretching out his head to look at the house, this time, Yang Hao made a discovery.

The door of the house was open, and there were no signs of a struggle inside, but by the door, a corpse could be seen sitting against the wall, and there were already large blood stains on the ground, but under the moonlight, it was not reflective, it should have dried up. One of the man's hands was still holding the trigger of his rifle, pointing, presumably towards the outside of the gate.

Yang Hao understood, and immediately turned around, followed the gap between the two rooms, and entered the path in the middle of the village.

At this moment, the current real situation of the village is all in Yang Hao's field of vision.

On the paths in the middle of the village, in almost every area, there were lying corpses.

There are all in every direction.

Yang Hao understood. No wonder the village is a little scary in silence, because ......

The soldiers here are all dead! (To be continued......)
