Chapter 367: Chapter 367 "Enthusiastic" Neighbor

Unfortunately, no matter how high the walls were, they could not keep out the bandits.

The bandits were indeed bold. They had taken over someone’s place and didn’t even bother to set up sentries, as if they didn’t care if anyone would come over.

But upon further consideration, all the villages within five hundred miles were just like Xinding Village, all inhabited by the old, weak, women, and children. Indeed, there was no one who could challenge them.

It was no wonder they were so fearless.

Because of this arrogance, Bai Junjun entered as if there were no one around.

Upon entering Zhao Family Village, Bai Junjun closed her eyes and released her Special Ability, using the plants to feel the carbon dioxide emissions around her.

She quickly sensed a large concentration of carbon dioxide in one area.

She opened her eyes and indicated a direction to Li Wenli.

Li Wenli didn’t ask any questions and followed her outside.

Zhao Family Village had about seventy to eighty households, all within the protection of the city walls. The houses were scattered to the east and west, forming many winding alleys, and it was very easy for outsiders to get lost here.

However, the place was indeed quaint and must have been beautiful during the day.

But at night, it was a bit eerie.

Guided by the carbon dioxide, they easily navigated the winding alleys, and soon, a central courtyard appeared in front of them.

As they approached the central courtyard, a strong stench also hit their noses.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli unconsciously covered their noses and mouths. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the central courtyard was piled with many bodies—large, small, old, and young.

These must have been the people of Zhao Family Village, and it was these bodies that emitted the foul smell.

Around the bodies, many bandits holding torches were busy piling firewood, obviously unable to bear the stench of the decayed bodies and finally deciding to dispose of them.

"Damn it! Thought to keep them a few more days, for later if there was nothing to eat, we could have some meat! But this damned weather, they went bad too soon," one bandit complained.

"Tsk, these old tree barks are tough to chew, no loss there!" another chimed in.

"I wanted to burn them a long time ago, but the boss was reluctant. He finally made up his mind; let’s not delay. Let’s burn them quickly, lest the boss regrets again," another suggested.

"Tsk, I can understand being afraid of poverty. But honestly, chicken, duck, or goose tastes better than human flesh," yet another added.

"Hahaha... Who doesn’t know that’s more delicious!" they laughed.

The bandits chatted aimlessly, and soon, the pile of bodies erupted into a huge fire.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli glanced at each other, weighing whether to greet the neighbors or just leave?

But before they could decide, a noise suddenly came from behind them. Someone was walking through the alley, and they collided head-on before they could hide.

The person was also stunned, initially thinking it was one of their own. But after a double take, something was off! These two were too young and dressed too brightly; they were not one of them!

The two reacted instantly, pulling out their swords from their waists: "Where did these little thieves come from!"

"Ah, sorry, we are here to deliver a housewarming gift," Li Wenli replied with a smirk.

"?" The bandits didn’t comprehend what was going on.

By that time, Li Wenli had already drawn his dagger and, quick as lightning, rushed up, slashing the throats of the two.

In an instant, the two held their necks in disbelief.

After giving a welcoming gift to the first neighbor they met, the two continued on their way, not hiding their tracks. Whenever they met a neighbor, they enthusiastically greeted them.

Neither Bai Junjun nor Li Wenli was shy with their daggers, giving enough "face" to each neighbor.
