Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

“Leader Luo, please accept our condolences. The most urgent thing is to see if there are any survivors. Looking at the outside, there are only five or six hundred people. There may still be survivors inside. Moreover, that Wooden Puppet Demon may not have left yet!”

Xia Hong only stood for a moment. Seeing some people from the Rogue Camp losing their minds and rummaging through the fragmented corpses on the ground for their relatives, he quickly stepped forward and called out to Luo Ming first.

It wasn't that he didn't give Luo Ming time to process everything before him.

The main thing was that there were more important things to do now.

While speaking to Luo Ming, he pointed to the largest wooden house at the innermost part with a solemn expression.

When he first came in, he had already noticed the five large wooden houses in the camp. Four of them had collapsed, obviously smashed from the outside with brute force, leaving only the innermost one relatively intact.

Hearing his words, Luo Ming also woke up at once, gave Xia Hong a grateful look, immediately put away the sadness on his face, and shouted to the crowd on the ground who were still rummaging: “Everyone, get up! Stop searching for now. Go into the main house and see if there are any survivors over there.”

The total population of the Rogue Camp was over 1,300. Although the fragmented corpses and limbs outside were horrifying, they were far from reaching that number.

The others also reacted at this time. Some who hadn't found their relatives immediately showed hope on their faces and followed Luo Ming and Xia Hong, quickly approaching the main house.

The wooden house was very wide, with sides of more than fifty meters. It could probably accommodate hundreds of people.

Xia Hong looked at the wooden house, turned back, and glanced around at the fifty-odd people who had gathered around him. His brows furrowed.

“Leader Luo, the situation inside is unclear. That Wooden Puppet Demon is extremely cunning. I don’t think so many people should go in together. How about these three, you, and I, five people go in first to check the situation, and then notify the others?”

While speaking, Xia Hong pointed to the three people following behind Luo Ming.

Luo Ming immediately reacted. The Wooden Puppet Demon was good at disguising as others. He immediately nodded and said: “Shang Ping, Li Baihe, Xu Kang, you come with me. The others wait outside.”

The three people Xia Hong pointed to were about the same age as Luo Ming, and they were the three Earth Piercing Realm experts that Luo Ming had brought out on this trip.

The five people approached the wooden house together. Although the main door of the wooden house was not closed, it was currently night, and everyone's vision was not very clear. They could only see that the corridor inside was empty through the faint bonfire.

Luo Ming turned his head and signaled to the three of Shang Ping. Without saying a word, the three rushed to the front and stepped into the wooden house.

Entering the wooden house, Xia Hong immediately knew the internal structure.

The center of the wooden house was the main hall with a bonfire in the center, and small rooms were separated on both sides with wooden boards.

The five had already arrived in the middle of the main hall. Seeing the faint bonfire, their faces were full of confusion. Shang Ping, who was walking in the front, turned his head and said to Luo Ming:

“There are traces of fighting, but there is no bloody smell, and… no one?”

Many coal stones were scattered around the bonfire. Several chairs in the main hall were also broken. There were obvious traces of fighting on the ground, but how could there be no one, not even a sound?

Could it be in the rooms on the side?

Realizing that this was the only possibility, Luo Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

It wasn't that he ignored the small rooms on both sides of the wooden house. When he first entered the wooden house, the reason why he didn't suspect those small rooms was:

Firstly, the tragic scene outside proved that the Wooden Puppet Demon's methods of killing people were extremely cruel. If there were really people in the small rooms, it was impossible for them to be so quiet.

Secondly, the five of them were all Earth Piercing Realm experts. At such a close distance, let alone five or six hundred people, they could detect even a mosquito.

Finally, most of these rooms were open, with only a few closed. The rooms with open doors were all normal. There were no corpses and no bloody smell. Under the influence of inertia, they naturally didn't suspect those closed rooms.

“Open them and see!”

After all, time was of the essence, and Luo Ming didn't dare to hesitate too much. He quickly pointed to the first room and asked Shang Ping to open it and see.

Shang Ping nodded and walked towards the first closed door.

“Don't go over there, run!”

Just as he reached out to open the door, Xia Hong, who was standing next to Luo Ming, suddenly changed his expression and shouted loudly, stopping him.

Unlike Luo Ming and the other three, from the moment he entered the wooden house, Xia Hong's attention had been focused on the small rooms on both sides.

The small rooms were indeed open and closed. The rooms with open doors were normal, and the closed ones indeed had no movement, but this was precisely the biggest abnormality.

There was no movement outside the Rogue Camp. Above were two high mountains. Five or six hundred people couldn't all have grown wings and flown away.

Xia Hong had just noticed that there were ten rooms separated on each side, a total of twenty rooms. Each room was about four or five meters wide and could accommodate at most thirty or forty people. Only five rooms had open doors, and the remaining fifteen were all closed.

Fifteen rooms, thirty or forty people in each room, was exactly five or six hundred people.

No matter what means the Wooden Puppet Demon used to stuff so many people into those fifteen rooms without them noticing, this number at least corresponded. And this was enough for Xia Hong to issue a warning.

When shouting “Run!”, Xia Hong had already taken the lead and sprinted outwards. Although Luo Ming hadn't reacted to the reason, Xia Hong's previous performance was enough for him to trust him unconditionally.

“Shang Ping, retreat!”

He didn't hesitate either, called out to Shang Ping, and led the other two Earth Piercing Realm experts, also following behind Xia Hong, retreating together.

Shang Ping, who had originally planned to search the room, reacted extremely quickly, quickly retreated and followed behind Luo Ming, running outwards together.

It was just a pity that he was too close to the room.

Bang…

The door he was about to open was suddenly smashed into pieces by a huge force from inside. A horizontal saber flew out of the sawdust, the sharp blade cutting through the air, directly slashing towards Shang Ping, who was at the rear.

Although Shang Ping was running towards the door with all his heart, how could he not sense it at such a close distance? But after all, he was facing away from the blade, and even if he wanted to turn around to block it, it was too late.

The sound of the blade coming from behind made a look of despair flash in Shang Ping's eyes.

Shoo… Clang…

“Run!”

It was Li Baihe.

Li Baihe, who was following behind Luo Ming, drew his curved bow from behind, aimed at the broadsword, and shot an arrow. His archery was superb, and he actually hit the blade of the sword that was slashing towards Shang Ping without deviating.

At this time, Xia Hong was only two or three meters away from the wooden door. Seeing that Shang Ping had been saved, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up again, he saw that Xia Chuan and others outside were preparing to rush in, and quickly shouted: “Don't come in, all of you get out!”

Until now, he didn't know exactly what the situation was inside the wooden house. The more people who came in, the more trouble it would be. What's more, they were only this far from the door, and they were about to run out.

However, as if deliberately joking, Xia Hong's thoughts, along with the wooden house's door, suddenly merged with a bang, and suddenly became a joke.

The door of the wooden house was clearly missing when they first came in.

But at this moment, the wooden house seemed to have come alive.

The door frames on both sides closed directly in front of Xia Hong's face.

“Wooden Puppet Demon, it plays with wood, this is troublesome!”

Suddenly remembering the name of that monster, Xia Hong's heart suddenly shook.

“This wooden house is made of Golden Frost Tree, I can split it open!”

Hearing Luo Ming's words from behind, Xia Hong's heart relaxed, and he quickly made way.

Luo Ming held a broadsword and slashed directly at the closed door.
