1243: Chapter 1243: Slaughter Under the Night Sky 1243: Chapter 1243: Slaughter Under the Night Sky This night, other than the necessary twenty sentries, everyone else had entered the realm of dreams, deeply asleep and snoring away.
Gu Fan, Ouyang Jin, and Lu Yi squeezed together.
Initially, it was all normal, but as they slept, Gu Fan began to feel very hot, as if he was surrounded by two balls of fire.
When Gu Fan awoke and took a good look at his surroundings, well, Ouyang Jin and Lu Yi were tightly embracing him, one on his left and the other on his right, their heads resting on his shoulders, limbs strewn across him in an indecorous tangle.
“Do you really have to do this?” Gu Fan was sowhat at a loss for words, secretly thinking that if anyone else saw this scene, they would doubt the nature of their relationship.
Just then, a patrolling sentry happened to pass by, catching sight of the three, Gu Fan, Ouyang Jin, and Lu Yi, in such an intimate sleeping position.
He imdiately looked surprised, then quickly pretended not to see anything and walked away.
“Great, now even jumping into the Yellow River won’t clean of this.” Gu Fan sighed, wondering why he had to et these two good-for-nothing friends.
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded, startling everyone awake.
Everyone quickly got up, imdiately grabbing their weapons, their bodies tensed.
One explosion after another resounded, the tension was palpable.
Although the noises seed distant, in such a dangerous place, who wouldn’t be worried?
“What happened, has the fighting started again?” Lu Yi rubbed his eyes as he woke up, realizing he was very close to Gu Fan and beca puzzled, “Buddy, if you’re going to sleep, just sleep.
Why are you embracing , taking advantage of ?
Isn’t Lin Xi enough for you?”
At that mont, Ouyang Jin also realized sothing was off and without clarification, began accusing, “Gu Fan, you’ve crossed the line.
Taking advantage of while I’m asleep, I only perform, I don’t sell myself.
If you’re going to be like this, I’ll have to raise my rates.”
Hearing this, Gu Fan almost passed out from exasperation, “I beg you two to look properly, it’s you holding , not holding you.”
“Really?” Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin looked closer and it appeared to be true, resulting in awkward expressions.
Gu Fan had a look of soone who could do nothing about these two, “Okay, the misunderstanding is cleared up, please, could you get up now?”
“All right, I’ll just…” Lu Yi began to get up, then realized, “Hold on, Ouyang Jin, your leg is on top of mine, you get up first.”
“Fine, I’m getting up right now…” Ouyang Jin tried to get up but found herself immobilized, stuck between laughter and tears, “Well, Gu Fan, it seems your leg is on top of mine, please move it a bit.”
“How did this happen.” Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Ouyang Jin were dumbfounded.
Their six legs were tangled in such disarray, all mixed up, and it wasn’t as simple as one leg on top of another.
They were woven together in such a way that none of them could get up first.
Lu Yi was getting anxious, “Please hurry up, everyone’s watching us, this is so embarrassing.”
Ouyang Jin complained, “Oh co on, I can’t hurry.
Both of you are on top of one of my legs, how am I supposed to get up?”
“Don’t panic, let have a good look.” Gu Fan shifted one of Ouyang Jin’s legs that was on top of him, but Lu Yi wasn’t pleased, “Dude, you got it wrong, that’s my leg, you’re moving my leg towards Ouyang Jin, are you trying to pull my leg off?”
Caught between distant gunfire and the awkward predicant of Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Ouyang Jin, everyone was both anxious and amused.
Lin Xi and Su Hui originally wanted to help, but feeling too embarrassed, they kept their distance, failing to understand just how bad these three people’s sleeping postures could be.
At last, Gu Fan managed to rid himself of these two, but upon noticing the strange glances from those around him, his face almost turned red with embarrassnt, feeling as if his lifelong reputation had been completely destroyed.
“It’s too embarrassing, too embarrassing; I’ve never done anything this humiliating in my life,” Ouyang Jin said dejectedly, sitting on the ground, covering his forehead with his hand, trying his best not to look at the expressions of the people around him.
Lu Yi ca over to comfort him, “What’s there to be ashad of?
Just let everyone have their laugh.
Who even knows how many of us will make it back alive?”
Upon hearing this, those rcenaries who had been mocking suddenly turned grave.
Though the words were harsh, they seed to be true.
Gu Fan, amid the sounds of gunfire, moved as far forward as he could, knowing that the regular troops would definitely co under attack at night.
But for so reason, he started to feel increasingly uneasy.
Su Hui also ca over and said, “The gunfire sounds chaotic, it has no rhythm.
It seems that sotis, as soon as it starts, it gets cut off…” Su Hui did not finish her sentence, but those who understood knew what it ant.
General Horton had already tried to contact the regular forces using communication equipnt, but no response was forthcoming.
What did that imply?
The regular troops were in disarray and didn’t have the ti to reply.
General Horton didn’t give up; he continued trying to make contact.
After more than a dozen attempts, he finally got through, and the clear sound of gunfire from the battlefield ca through,
“Hello, what’s happened over there?” General Horton had just finished asking when several piercing screams were heard, causing an involuntary chill to run down one’s spine.
Soone shouted, “We need support, can anyone support us?”
Everyone could hear how desperate and hopeless that plea for help was, sending shivers down their spines.
Who would have thought that well-equipped regular troops would find themselves in such dire straits?
General Horton imdiately asked, “What exactly is happening on your side, is it those vampiric creatures?”
“Monsters, lots of monsters!
Ah…” Screams more distressing than the slaughtering of pigs, along with the sounds of beasts tearing flesh, sent shivers down the spine.
After a while, the distant gunfire grew fainter, indicating that the regular troops were on the brink of annihilation.
Rushing over now might save so of them, but the problem was, who dared to go?
The communication equipnt still carried the low growls of beasts and the desperate screams of people, evoking horrifying images in the minds of Gu Fan and the others; nearly ten thousand troops were being slaughtered by a horde of vampiric beasts, leaving a field of corpses everywhere, rivers of blood, with many cruelly torn to pieces.
Soone said, “The regular troops are finished; next, it’s our turn.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, can’t we still retreat in ti?” Everyone turned their gaze to General Horton, hoping he could lead them out of this damned place.
By now, the distant sounds of gunfire had ceased, and no more cries of agony from the battlefield could be heard over the communication equipnt.
anwhile, there was a deathly silence where Gu Fan and the others were, with everyone’s hearts trembling in the cold wind.
