Chapter 371: Chapter 110: A Complete Surprise [10,000 Words]
The female deacons were all ashamed and angry.
Fang Che’s order came down again: "Throw away all the sachets and powders you are carrying!"
Even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to throw everything away.
Many women’s faces twitched, this was a heavy loss indeed.
But... it must be said, in a hellish place like this, such scents are simply natural targets. As long as they have them, they could attract countless enemies or poisonous insects.
And this reason is exactly why the Guardians are exceptionally stringent when it comes to recruiting female Guardians.
It is also why many Guardian squads resolutely refuse to accept any female Guardians.
It is not discrimination, but rather because a woman’s nature often becomes the dividing line between life and death.
...
Finished handling everything.
Fang Che continued to direct: "Move forward, Master Yuan, you lead two King levels to clear the way ahead, forming a triangular formation, supporting each other on both wings."
"Understood."
"The remaining King levels, protect the main force, positioned in the front, back, and sides."
"Understood."
"The remaining Marquis levels within the King levels, Marshals within the Marquis levels, Generals inside those."
"Understood!"
"I am in the first echelon, if any situation arises, the moment I call out, everyone must act immediately!"
Fang Che said.
Yuan Jingjiang was somewhat worried and said: "If you are in the first echelon, what if there is danger?"
"With Master Yuan and the others ahead, plus King levels by my side, how can there be danger."
"...Fine."
"From this moment, no eating, no drinking, any bodies encountered must be burned immediately, survivors should not be approached. Wait for orders."
"Yes."
"If there is any smoke, hold your breath immediately, seal all sweat pores, maintain the body with Inner Breath circulation."
"Yes!"
"Move out!"
At Fang Che’s command, Yuan Jingjiang and the two others flew out in a triangular formation.
The main force followed quickly.
...
During this advance, Yuan Jingjiang and the other two super experts led the team, and if anything happened ahead, Fang Che would direct operations directly.
Along the way, anything like cliffs or crevices would be smashed by Yuan Jingjiang and the others, and then they would guard in three directions while others quickly handled the aftermath.
Either paving the way or directly sweeping into the ravine.
Work efficiency suddenly more than doubled.
And for dozens of miles, there were no more attacks.
The bodies along the way were no longer buried but directly burned, among which more than a dozen indeed burned out countless Fire Worms, writhing and convulsing in the flames.
Several female deacons looked pale, some were already showing signs of vomiting.
But Fang Che firmly refused: "No vomiting allowed! Hold it in! Just endure it for now."
Vomiting now would leave no time to replenish food quickly, and if a fight broke out, it was foreseeable that combat effectiveness would be halved after a few moves.
What does suddenly halving combat effectiveness mean in a battle of life and death?
A roar came from the front, experts were fighting.
Yuan Jingjiang perked up, saying: "It’s our people."
Fang Che scolded: "Why shout? Go around!"
"Go around?"
Everyone was puzzled: "Our people are fighting in front."
Fang Che scolded: "That level of fight, can we participate or watch? If we go, we’ll only affect and burden our experts, indirectly getting them killed!"
"Don’t make trouble! Just want to see, see what? If a Guardian dies to protect our safety, we will never make up for it! Detour, quickly!"
Everyone was startled.
They immediately detoured.
...
And with this detour, poisonous insects, traps, and attacks suddenly increased.
"Keep going!"
Fang Che said: "Do you know why? That’s because the Wei Wo Zheng Sect people fighting with Guardians ahead are already at a disadvantage, so their subordinates hope we go over, disturb the Guardians, so they desperately block our detour, their goal is to let us appear before the Guardians, and then slaughter us in front of them, forcing the Guardians to protect us, allowing them to retreat or find a chance to kill the Guardians!"
"Don’t stop, go forward!"
"Continue doing our own thing, burning bodies, open this road."
Fang Che’s gaze was cold: "Quickly!"
Zuo Guanglie said: "But weren’t we here for rescue?"
Fang Che spat, pointing at Zuo Guanglie’s already curled hair and said: "In such high temperatures, already more than twice what a normal human can endure... there’s absolutely no way there are any ordinary survivors here, if there are, it’s only a trap in disguise! Remember, in such heat, ordinary people absolutely cannot survive."
"Not to mention it’s been several days since the volcanic eruption, in such heat, ordinary people wouldn’t last a quarter of an hour!"
Fang Che gritted his teeth urging work: "How hot is the water you usually brew tea with? The temperature here is hotter than freshly boiled water! Don’t be foolish! ’Rescue’ is just a slogan, in fact, our mission is to bury and handle corpses to prevent large-scale disease outbreaks after volcanic temperatures drop, and to keep the roads open, so that when temperatures drop, two sides’ refugees might have possible passage! The road we are clearing is the real lifeline."
Zuo Guanglie was extremely ashamed, suddenly feeling he couldn’t think of anything.
Like an idiot.
So he buried himself in work.
...
After taking a few more steps forward, the mountain tops on both sides suddenly had massive rocks rolling down with a rumble.
