Chapter 36: Easily Earned 500 Million
Chapter 36: Easily Earned 500 Million
The stench of rotting human flesh is unique and truly nauseating.
Add to that the flies crawling on the rotting corpses, buzzing in from all directions and sticking to you, and the disgusting effect is off the charts.
Chen Jun kept waving his hand in front of his face to prevent flies from crawling on it. At least he was wearing clothes, which provided some protection, so he could still bear it.
But when Xing Tian started vomiting uncontrollably next to him, Chen Jun also broke down.
Just like how sneezes and yawns are contagious, Chen Jun couldn't help but vomit until he emptied his stomach, only then did he feel a little better.
Butcher and Big Bear, along with other veterans of the wolf pack, have truly strong mental fortitude.
Nothing changed throughout the entire process; it was as if nothing had happened.
"Captain, there are still many corpses ahead, more than a hundred people, and they are all soldiers. Most of them died from traps, and a few were shot. I estimate that those who were shot were prisoners."
There's a footprint extending southeast, likely left by the target. I've done a preliminary reconnaissance of the path and discovered many traps along it.
Pioneer's voice came through the headphones, breaking the awkward silence in the room.
"The government troops were no match for us at all; they were all annihilated in the woods. It seems that this is the real reason why the Funan government hired us."
The captain summarized the analysis for everyone and gave the order: "The vanguard will lead the way, and the rest of you will follow behind. Don't touch anything suspicious, understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
The vanguard received orders to continue breaking away from the group and clearing the way.
After a short rest, the others continued their journey in three teams.
The team started moving, and people began to get active.
The main purpose was to confirm that there was no danger nearby, and with a vanguard clearing the way, everyone didn't need to be too vigilant, and they could finally say what they had been holding back.
Captain Roger took out a bottle of mosquito repellent and sprayed it into Chen Jun and Xing Tian's noses.
"You feel better now, right? You can do this again in the future."
The captain was teaching Chen Jun and Xing Tian practical skills. The equipment they carried didn't just have a single function; if used properly, it was actually multifunctional.
"Thank you, Captain," Chen Jun said gratefully.
The pungent smell of the mosquito repellent entered Chen Jun's nasal cavity, and although it made him want to cough, it was indeed very effective, greatly reducing the irritation of the odor.
"Captain, I'm sorry for embarrassing myself." Xing Tian smiled awkwardly.
"You know it's shameful?"
The butcher walking beside him grinned, clearly intending to provoke and mock Xing Tian.
Xingtian and the Butcher were like sworn enemies, always bickering whenever they met. When Xingtian was mocked to his face, he couldn't hold back and immediately retaliated, saying, "You think you're so great? Then go sleep in there for one night."
"I wouldn't mind staying for a year, let alone just one night. That kind of scene is really exciting, hehe."
The butcher's excitement was genuine, for his eyes were filled with burning anticipation, and he even stuck out his tongue to lick his dry lips.
He looks just like a psychopathic killer from a movie!
"Oh my god, so the reason I saw you frowning earlier wasn't because you weren't used to the scene, but because you had regrets. It wasn't because you did it yourself."
Chen Jun recalled the butcher's expression when he first saw the massacre scene, and gained a new understanding of the butcher's terror.
"Now I finally know where your nickname comes from. People who do things like this are perverts, but you're even more perverted than them." Xing Tian looked at the butcher with disgust.
"Hehe, really?"
The butcher smiled, a very eerie smile that made Xing Tian's heart tremble, and he dared not continue arguing with him.
With a vanguard leading the way, the team's progress was much slower, but the safety was guaranteed, leaving the others with nothing but boring vigilance.
"Rangers, lead the way!"
This slogan is truly well-deserved.
However, even the most experienced vanguard can make mistakes due to the sheer number of traps.
When he untied the fuse of a trap, he didn't expect that the fuse was also pulling a small mechanism.
A thick, solid wooden plank, studded with nails, suddenly swung down from the tree. Halfway down, it strangely changed course twice and hurtled towards the vanguard's face.
Fortunately, the captain behind him reacted quickly and pulled the vanguard back in one go; otherwise, the vanguard's head would definitely have been pierced with dozens of holes by the spiked board.
at the same time.
The chain of traps triggered by the nail board was activated, and a wall of sharpened wooden sticks fell from the dense forest overhead.
Big Buck and the cowboy were both within range; if they were hit, they would both be turned into gourds.
Everyone's attention was on the nail board, and they didn't notice the danger above them at all. By the time they heard the sound above them, Big Buck and the cowboy had no time to dodge.
Xing Tian didn't think at all at that moment; he just instinctively raised his foot and kicked.
He kicked the cowboy in the butt, sending him flying.
Chen Jun, who was walking alongside him, seemed to have triggered the sixth sense that the butcher had mentioned before, and instinctively reached out to save Big Buck.
"Boom!"
The sharp wooden wall, weighing over 200 pounds, crashed to the ground, penetrating more than half a meter into the ground.
Everyone was startled, but thankfully no one died.
The cowboy was kicked away by Xing Tian. Although he fell to the ground in a rather disheveled manner, with a mouthful of dirt in his mouth, he survived.
Xing Tian, who saved him, got his leg scraped. It hurt a lot, but thankfully there was no bleeding.
I owe you one!
The cowboy ran back, helped Xing Tian up, patted him on the shoulder, and left a message. Although his tone was very calm, his eyes carried a man's promise.
Big Buck was pulled back by Chen Jun and pulled into his arms. It wasn't as dangerous as Xing Tian and Cowboy's situation, but the posture was a bit ambiguous, which drew strange looks from Butcher and the others nearby.
The 1.85-meter-tall Buck looked like an old man holding a young wife in Chen Jun's arms.
Big Buck himself shuddered, as if he had been electrocuted, and bounced out of Chen Jun's arms, his right hand even instinctively reaching out to cover his buttocks.
He said seriously, "Chen, although you saved me, and your Great Dong Kingdom values repaying kindness with one's body, I hope you don't have such thoughts. I'm a proper man."
"Pfft~"
Chen Jun burst out laughing at Big Buck's words and cursed, "Go to hell! I'm a real man, you don't need to thank me. I saved your life, so five million is enough to settle your debt, no problem, right?"
"Okay, no problem." Big Buck smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that? Cowboy, I saved your life, give me five million." Inspired by Chen Jun, Xing Tian immediately put his knowledge into practice.
"I don't have money, but you can take my life if you want," the cowboy retorted.
"Fuck you!"
Xing was furious and rolled his eyes at him.
The tense atmosphere, initially caused by the danger, gradually eased thanks to the bizarre conversation between Chen Jun and Xing Tian.
