Chapter 272 I Know
The central square of the town is very large, more than 100 meters wide, with two avenues in front and back, surrounded by courtyards and houses, and a temporary shed in the center.
Lin Wen quickly pulled some debris together, blocked the intersection, piled a large number of corpses at the intersection, and positioned them in a shooting position.
He casually tore off a piece of rag, pinched it into a circle, and placed it in the middle of the corpse as a carrier of the spell [Paper Moon Hanging in the Air].
As long as you are within two meters of the "Paper Moon", the spell will take effect.
Afterwards, Lin Wen cast a spell, covering them with some flesh-colored light and shadow effects, and then stuffed a few guns in, making them look like a group of soldiers lying behind an obstacle.
It’s a pity that the spell range is only two meters, otherwise Lin Wen could disguise himself as an army.
He also activated the [Thousand Mile Sound Transmission] spell, which can transmit his voice to a designated location.
Lin Wen set the sound transmission point here.
In this way, when he fired, the sound of a gunshot would also be heard among the pile of corpses.
Thus, the disguise is completed.
To outsiders, it looked like a group of soldiers were huddled behind a bunker and firing. If Lin Wen fired a few more shots from the side, they would start a fight with the corpse.
Of course, this had to be done under the cover of night.
At this time, someone was already peeking out from the end of the road, and several bright rays of light shone over. Lin Wen raised his hand and fired three shots, and the searchlight went out.
"The enemy is here!"
"They're in the square!"
“There weren’t many of them, a few dozen at most.
The shouting continued, and thousands of figures became excited and rushed towards the central square.
Lin Wen jumped lightly onto the roof, and without hitting anything, he first knocked out all the lights.
But there were still some sharp-eyed people who saw him with the help of the dim moonlight.
"There he is!"
"Hit him!"
[Without a Colorful Phoenix] A series of alarms came, and Lin Wen rolled down the house, hid behind the cover and started a fierce gun battle with them.
Lin Wen ran between the east and west intersections, constantly using smoke bombs and grenades to stop their advance.
There was intense gunfire and explosions, and smoke covered the battlefield. For a moment, it was impossible to tell how many enemies there were.
The leader of the guard, Xu Chaogong, became a little scared as the battle went on. His brothers would die as soon as they showed their heads, and the enemies lying in a group opposite him looked weird. They had been shot many times, but they didn't react at all.
He called the president and vice president's phones dozens of times, but there was no response at all. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
In desperation, he had to meet with several other group leaders. Everyone agreed that a strong attack would result in too much loss, so they should wait until daybreak.
There was no wireless communication base station in this remote place, only a landline telephone. They quickly sent someone to find a phone and report the military intelligence.
Now that something like this has happened, they dare not take responsibility for it.
Lin Wen felt that the opponent's attack had stopped, so he sat down to rest for a while.
I took out my satellite phone and took a look. There were already hundreds of missed calls on it.
Just then another call came in, it was Qin Luoshuang's number.
As soon as Lin Wen answered the phone, he heard a voice that almost screamed: "Lin Wen!"
"It's me."
"Where have you been?" the voice on the phone was angry and anxious. "Why didn't you come with us? Why didn't you tell us?"
"I didn't say I was with you."
"What are you going to do alone?"
The voice on the phone became anxious and stern.
"Do bullets on the battlefield have eyes? No matter how good you are at fighting, how many can you dodge? You're not a Dragon Team agent, get back here right now! From now on, you are not allowed to leave my sight!"
Lin Wen scratched the back of his head and opened his Seven Apertures Heart. It said, "Shuang~ Come and save me! I'm surrounded by enemies! There are thousands of them. I can't hold on any longer!"
Crack, something seemed to break over there.
"You, you are still trying to fool me at this time, what's going on?"
Lin Wen turned off his Seven Apertures Mind and briefly recounted the entire incident, removing some unnecessary details and modifying some unreasonable parts.
Sure enough, Qin Luoshuang didn't delve into it. She just said anxiously, "You must hide well. Don't fight hard. We will be there in about an hour."
Lin Wen replied, "Okay, I'll hold them here, and you guys come over and destroy them."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Then Lin Wen picked up his gun and jumped onto the roof. People were already approaching from all sides. They originally wanted to surround the square without anyone noticing, but they didn't expect that someone had turned on the X-ray vision.
Lin Wen wandered through the complex terrain.
In the house, on the roof, behind the wall, in the well, in the haystack, no matter where you hide, it is either a bullet or a sword.
Lin Wen held a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, and wore a cloak. If he had worn a Victorian-style tricorn hat, wellies, a leather jacket and trousers, he would have been a typical Yharnam old hunter.
Soon, everyone on both sides was killed, and the enemies at the intersection stopped attacking.
Lin Wen felt a little bored, so he had to collect bullets on the battlefield and shoot a few unlucky guys who showed their heads from time to time.
About thirty minutes later, a ray of light appeared in the distance on the horizon, and the sky gradually brightened.
The battlefield was filled with a faint smoke, which mixed with the morning mist, appearing quiet and lingering.
The enemy launched a general offensive, throwing smoke bombs, grenades, flash bombs, and exerting fierce fire pressure.
The small town was engulfed in gunfire.
A large number of suicide squads launched a charge despite obstacles.
Lin Wen turned up the firepower to maximum and threw out all the grenades and smoke bombs on him, but still could not stop the enemy's attack.
The pile of corpses at the intersection was blown to pieces, leaving only false phantoms and empty gunshots echoing in the air.
"Damn it, it's a trick!"
"Brothers, charge! There are not many people inside!"
Enemies were coming from all directions, on the walls, on the roofs, everywhere.
The fire suppression has reached its strongest point. Lin Wen can hardly show his head. [Without Colorful Phoenix] is always on the alert. There are too many stray bullets on the battlefield, and Lin Wen's skates are also greatly restricted.
It is really inconvenient without the [Qi Ban Divine Power] to block the interference of ordinary bullets and stray bullets.
When the firepower becomes dense enough, [Swiftness of the Spirit Cat] is too busy to handle it, and [Without the Colorful Phoenix] is full of alarms and cannot escape at all.
Lin Wen pinched a new paper moon, activated [Paper Moon Suspended], and used infinite flash bombs.
But this time they only achieved a small success. They immediately retreated into the bunker and put on goggles or sunglasses.
The attack resumed after a brief pause.
Lin Wen held an assault rifle in one hand and a shotgun in the other, spraying and shooting at the same time, but after all, he only had two guns. No matter how many illusions he performed, they could not cause any damage and could not stop the opponent's advance.
Soon, the enemy broke through the intersection, followed by a large number of soldiers rushing in.
However, the corpses scattered all over the square did not look like those of the enemy.
"What's going on?"
Several regiment commanders gathered together and sent troops to search while discussing the matter.
"Why is he missing? Was he beaten to a pulp?"
"Maybe it's mixed in with these corpses."
But soon, they discovered that these bodies were all the confidants of President Wu Daxiong, and even found the bodies of President Wu Daxiong and Vice President Zhang Xiaolin themselves.
The two bodies were riddled with holes, but a closer look revealed that they were all beaten by their own people.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. At this moment, the communicator came running over with the phone, shouting, "The Governor is calling."
Among the several group leaders here, Xu Chaogong had the highest status. He immediately stood up, respectfully brushed the dust off his sleeves, bent down and answered the phone with both hands.
"Greetings, Governor."
Gu Xuanli's majestic voice came from the phone: "Xu Chaogong, what's the situation now? Have the bandits in Changshan County been eliminated?"
"Your Excellency, Governor, we have successfully wiped them out. They were completely defeated by our army, leaving corpses scattered all over the ground. Their faces were ashen and they fled. After a hard-fought battle, at the cost of hundreds of our men, we eliminated over 5,000 bandits. However, President Wu Daxiong and Vice President Zhang Xiaolin fought bravely but unfortunately died."
"Okay, okay."
The voice on the phone was extremely relieved and smiled, "Finally, some good news! Clean up the battlefield immediately and submit the battle report. No falsification is allowed. All evidence must be available. I want to give that ignorant little bastard from Changshan County a good refutation, and then file a complaint against him in the Empire."
"Xu Chaogong, work hard, you have a bright future."
"Thank you, Governor-General. I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations."
Click, the phone was hung up.
Several group leaders looked at him unfriendly.
"Xu Damazi, you're so outspoken and talking nonsense. How are we supposed to explain this?"
"Kill five thousand enemies? Where are you going to find five thousand men for me?"
"You are deceiving the Governor! I will report you!"
"Shut up!" Xu Chaogong shouted angrily, "You bunch of idiots! How dare you speak when the battle has gotten this bad? The president and vice president are both dead, and the enemy has fled to who knows where. Even the rebels we had so much trouble capturing have escaped."
"So many brothers died in vain. What good will come of this? If the Governor gets angry, he can just chop you all down! We have wartime laws now!"
Several team leaders turned pale, knowing that he was right.
"But," a regimental commander said, "how are we going to explain this now? Forget about everything else, where are we going to find these five thousand rebels? Even if we find them, can we defeat them?"
Xu Chaogong's face darkened and he lowered his voice.
"There are still more than 5,000 people at the west end of the town who haven't escaped. The rebels wanted to send everyone out, but it was too late. When I came here with the president, I heard them say that these 5,000 people should be included in the report of military merits."
Several team leaders fell silent, their faces changing from gloomy to bright.
After a moment, one of them spoke up: "But, with 5,000 people, if we resist, we will suffer losses and waste a lot of bullets."
Xu Chaogong said disdainfully, "Are you a fool? Can't you just lure them to the open space outside the town? Brothers, set up your machine guns, fire a few rounds, kill them, and then set fire to the place. No one will notice."
"But what if someone finds out?"
Xu Chaogong sneered, "Who would come to this remote, desolate place? If someone asks why the townspeople disappeared, it's simple. They were kidnapped and killed by the Changshan County."
"Haven't they just cheated a lot of people back then? Just let them do it."
"But..." The man was still a little hesitant.
"Don't say but," Xu Chaogong said sternly, "If we're all doing this together, who would be so foolish as to tell someone about it and get themselves killed? Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know. If no one tells anyone, who will know?"
"I know!"
a voice shouted.
"who!"
A gunshot answered them.
