Chapter 393: Remains of the Zhou General (5)
Li Xiu stiffened and said, "Dog?"
"The aliens can control humans, so why can't they control dogs?"
"Where can we find that dog?" He suddenly became anxious. "If it were at the beginning, we could still mark the dog, but now we can't even see it!"
Tao Zi pressed his forehead and said irritably, "This ruins really set a trap from the beginning."
Li Xiu sighed and said, "That's right. We are the ones who know General Zhou's story. If it were someone else, they might not even know what this mother and son represent."
Although the two complained, they still tried hard to recall what the dog looked like.
As he recalled the past, Li Xiu became depressed: "Can we find all the dogs in the city and kill them?"
Tao Zi ruthlessly rejected the proposal: "No, don't forget, General Zhou is a kind general."
He closed his eyes sadly, and she continued, "A dog that can deliver food here should be from the general's mansion or the barracks. Next time, after we kill those people, we will look for the dogs in the general's mansion and the barracks, especially the dogs that are under surveillance."
Seeing that he had a direction, Li Xiu cheered up and nodded: "Okay."
Tao Zi's tone was much gentler: "Li Xiu, you have been affected too much, take a good rest first."
He naturally knew what this sentence meant. After all, according to his brain, even if he couldn't think of this, he wouldn't be so upset as to want to kill all the dogs in the city.
Once again in the early morning, everything happened again.
This time, after killing the others, the two chose to act separately to find the general's mansion and military camp.
Tao Zi was the first to find the general's mansion. She sneaked in quietly, not daring to be arrogant at all, even though her opponent was a mortal.
She deliberately avoided crowded places and went to areas with fewer people.
Soon, she saw a puppy, but its fur color wasn't right and she couldn't control it.
Suddenly, a tiny cry of pain was heard: "Kill me!"
Tao Zi was startled, poked a small hole in the window paper, and looked inside. It was the soldier who had opened the door and asked the mother and son to leave quickly.
The soldier looked weak and had a broken leg. The man standing in front of him said to him kindly, "Besides being a soldier, you can do other things. Don't say that."
The soldier closed his eyes in pain and said, "Just kill me. If they are really possessed by aliens, killing me will reduce their sins."
"Have you thought of that now?" The man sighed and said, "Judging from the timeframe, even if possessed, it wouldn't reproduce that quickly. The general will then send you to a safe place for supervision. If anything really happens, they'll burn you, but it won't cause a major disaster. Don't worry."
The soldier shook his head, his tone bitter. "I still haven't found them yet. I'm starting to feel uneasy. Maybe I shouldn't have done such a foolish thing for Lieutenant General Huang's favor."
The man said helplessly, "Is it any use for you to say this now? The time is up. I can't stay here any longer, otherwise I will be supervised. Don't think too much, just live well. At a time like this, don't go and die if you can survive."
As soon as that person left, Tao Zi pushed open the door and walked in slowly.
The soldier didn't look up, thinking that the man had returned again: "Why are you back again?"
She held the sword she had snatched across his throat. He immediately turned his head and, upon seeing her, was stunned. "You?"
Tao Zi whispered, "Sorry, you have to die."
The soldier's eyes suddenly widened, and before he could say anything, she stabbed him through the chest with a sword.
As he turned to leave, the intermittent voice of the soldiers behind him came: "Fire... Use fire!"
She paused and immediately turned to look at him. He had a pleading look in his eyes: "Fire, please, use fire."
He struggled to finish his last words before he died.
Doubt flashed in her eyes. The alien race had just reproduced in his body. It could be said that it had not yet taken shape or even survived. It was different from those alien races that had already grown up. There was no need to kill it twice. Just kill the host. Why use fire again?
Suddenly, Tao Zi understood that they, the people of later generations, naturally knew how to kill aliens, but these soldiers or General Zhou did not know. To them, alien possession was more like a plague, and they could only feel at ease after burning the corpse.
At this moment, she suddenly knew that her previous method of killing those people was wrong! She shouldn't use her own thinking to speculate about this relic.
At this time, there was a sound of running not far away. Tao Zi immediately used a kerosene lamp to light a fire and then escaped.
The moment she left the general's mansion, a pair of eyes were staring at her. She couldn't help but look back and saw that the general was standing not far away looking at her!
Tao Zi suddenly felt creepy and left even faster.
There was no doubt that she was being hunted, but just when the hunt was halfway through, everything was reset.
This time, the lunch box was still there, but the food was much colder.
Li Xiu took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Tao Mei, I found the dog!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice announced: "Two-tenths."
Their expressions froze. What was going on? The progress had actually slowed down.
Li Xiu's excited expression suddenly turned into depression. He said, "If you keep going like this, I'll go crazy sooner or later."
She patted his shoulder soothingly and said, "I found that soldier and got a crucial piece of information from him."
He perked up and asked, "What's the news?"
Tao Zi emphasized: "Use fire, no matter what, use fire."
Li Xiu stroked her hair in despair and said, "You must be joking. The noise of such a loud fire cannot be hidden from those people's eyes. We will definitely be hunted down by those soldiers. I was chased hard in the barracks this time."
She soothed him, "Let's rethink our thinking. Tell me, why did General Zhou want us to kill those people?"
Li Xiu replied, "Because those people came into contact with us, they might be possessed by aliens."
Tao Zi was about to nod when her thoughts suddenly became clear: "After we regain our freedom, we will still be that mother and son in their eyes, right?"
"Uh, yeah, what's wrong with that?"
She was shocked and said, "So, in General Zhou's opinion, are those who come into contact with us also likely to be possessed?"
Li Xiu also reacted: "You mean, the progress has regressed because we have contacted too many people this time?"
"It's possible." Tao Zi kept sorting out her thoughts. "If the monks on the tower are going to make decisions for General Zhou, then we should kill everyone who should be killed."
He nodded, then thought of something else and said, "Sister Tao, I realized something was wrong when I killed someone this time."
"you say."
Li Xiu frowned and said, "Their eyes are not right. If you think about it carefully, their eyes are different every time they kill someone."
Tao Zi said quietly, "Maybe it's because they are cultivators who come here to gain experience, and every time the illusion appears, a different cultivator will come to kill them."
