New and dark light years

Chapter 312 Bugs
Li Lin rested in the logistics camp until evening.

The sunset is like blood.

Li Lin sat on the school platform eating his dinner.

This looks like 'acting,' and the soldiers are drawn to it.

If a war breaks out and your commander-in-chief doesn't show up for days on end, it will only cause morale to continue to plummet and people to feel uneasy.

However, if you can always be in the sight of your soldiers, then the 'backbone' effect will be very significant.

Li Lin knew this, which is why he was willing to act here.

Just as he was finishing his meal, a soldier rushed over in a panic, cupped his hands in greeting, and said urgently, "Commander, something has happened."

"whats the matter?"

"When we went to collect the bodies of our comrades, we dug a big pit, thinking of throwing all the bodies of the southern barbarians into the pit and burying them to prevent the spread of disease."

Li Lin nodded: "That's definitely how it should be done."

The soldier swallowed hard and said, "But something's not right about those Southern Barbarian corpses."

"What's wrong?"

"There was something moving under their skin, and it looked like there were quite a few, almost every single one of them."

Can it move?

Li Lin turned his head, looked at Li Yanjing who was invisible, and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

Li Yanjing shook her head.

Li Lin then turned to Liu Shen, who was floating beside him, and asked, "Do you know?"

"I know." Liu Shen nodded, then held up one finger.

Li Lin knew what the other party meant: a drop of blood essence.

"to make!"

Li Lin extended his left hand.

Soon, a drop of white water seeped from Li Lin's palm and then disappeared.

The soldier who delivered the message kept his head down, not daring to speak.

I didn't dare to move around.

He knew very well that Li Lin was talking to Zhenjun.

Ordinary people avoid such supernatural and mysterious things at all costs and have no desire to get involved with them.

A moment later, Li Lin shouted to the person next to him, "Xiao Chunzhu, take three hundred brothers, each carrying two cans of kerosene, and go with this brother to burn all the corpses of those southern barbarians... Never mind, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing the order, Xiao Chunzhu immediately mustered three hundred soldiers and set off with kerosene.

Upon arriving at the terraced fields, Li Lin discovered a large pit at the foot of the mountain, with about a hundred soldiers nearby holding shovels.

Inside the large pit, a large number of corpses were piled up.

When Li Lin went downstairs, he could smell a foul odor from afar.

It wasn't the stench of rotting food or corpses, but a foul odor.

It's like the strange, pheromone-like odor that comes with a large population of certain insects.

Li Lin arrived at the pit.

"Commander!"

The hundred soldiers bowed in unison.

"No need to be polite."

Li Lin waved his hand, looking at the corpse in the pit.

Then I gasped.

Just as the soldiers had said, there seemed to be many small drumbeats moving under the skin of these corpses.

Although the movement speed is not fast, it is definitely moving.

A man dressed as a captain walked over, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Reporting to the Commander, the corpses didn't have so many bulges before. The more night falls, the more bulges appear. Also, the bulges weren't growing very fast before, but they're growing much faster now. Could this be related to some kind of supernatural entity?"

Li Lin shook his head.

He recalled what Liu Shen had said not long ago.

"Those are insects wriggling around inside people's bodies," Liu Shen said, her expression somewhat dazed. This was how it was after absorbing Li Lin's blood essence. "They're highly poisonous. When they come out, they'll instinctively spray poison gas. Within a ten-mile radius, there will be almost no living things. However, they can be destroyed with fire." Thinking of this, Li Lin said without hesitation, "Xiao Chunzhu, order everyone to throw the oil cans into the pit... If there are any other Southern Barbarian corpses around, drag them all over and throw them in before dark. Don't leave a single one behind."

The soldiers were already terrified of these things and were thinking about how to deal with them, or rather, how to escape.

But seeing Li Lin begin to give orders, they immediately found their backbone.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Xiao Chunzhu shouted, "Did you all hear what the supervisor said? Get to work right away!"

Li Lin brought over 300 people with him. There were already over 100 people below, so the total number of over 400 people frantically dragged the corpses of the Southern Barbarians and threw them into the pit.

Many of the Southern Barbarian corpses had already been pushed into the large pit, and not many remained outside.

With four hundred men working together, they quickly threw all the corpses of the surrounding southern barbarians into the pit.

Under the skin and within the flesh of every Nanman corpse, something was moving.

"Throw in the kerosene!" Xiao Chunzhu roared.

Bang bang bang, thump thump thump.

Six hundred oil canisters were thrown into the pit, colliding with each other, spilling a lot of oil that soaked the corpses of the southern barbarians.

The smell of the kerosene was quite unpleasant, but compared to the strange stench emanating from the corpses, it was much more pleasant.

After all six hundred jars were thrown in, Xiao Chunzhu shouted, "Light the fire!"

Several tinderboxes that had been prepared beforehand were thrown into the large pit.

boom!
A fierce burst of flames shot into the sky, quickly engulfing the entire crater.

At that moment, the sun had just completely set.

The towering flames emitted an astonishing heat, and everyone took a few steps back.

Li Lin shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! Surround the pit! If anything tries to escape, don't be afraid, just kill it!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately gripped their longswords and spears.

Just as Li Lin had said, the corpses of the southern barbarians began to tremble strangely in the flames.

Even though he was dead, he seemed to want to stand up again.

But they couldn't stand up. Then, one by one, red crawlers broke through the flesh and skin of the corpses and crawled out from inside.

These red insects have two long antennae and a pair of large pincers. Their bodies are slender, resembling centipedes, but they don't have many legs, only three pairs.

The insects rolled around in the flames, but quickly turned red-hot and curled up.

"What the hell are these!"

"It's a poison used by the southern barbarians."

"They're afraid of fire, that's great!"

The soldiers were terrified, yet they were also discussing it amongst themselves.

Then, the bodies in the entire pit began to shake.

It was shaking violently.

Each one was pulsating incessantly, as if their bodies were being controlled by an invisible force.

The soldiers were even more frightened.

Li Lin thought that the insects inside the corpse below had sensed the heat coming from above and were trying to escape.

Just as Li Lin had guessed.

Countless red insects crawled out from below, but under the scorching heat of the fire, they could not crawl far before curling up into a ball, and then their shells crackled as they were burned, clearly indicating that their shells had been burned apart.

Only a few, which were exceptionally large and incredibly resilient, were able to climb out of the flames.

But the soldiers who were already waiting there could easily cut them down with a knife or stab them with a spear.

The scorched outer shell is very brittle; one slice and you can eat them all.

Then it bursts out a green liquid.

"Be careful, don't let a single one escape!" Xiao Chunzhu shouted.

In fact, he didn't even need to remind them. Every soldier was nervously watching the sea of ​​fire, and if anything came out of it, they would instinctively slash at it with their swords.

The heat intensifies, and at sufficient temperatures, the human body... becomes a form of firewood.

Moreover, once it starts burning, it's very difficult to extinguish.
