Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 56 It's just playing with wood

"Captain Luo, please accept my condolences. The most urgent thing is to see if there are any survivors. There are only about 500 to 600 people outside. There may be survivors inside. Moreover, the wooden puppet may not have left yet!"

Xia Hong only stood there for a while. Seeing that some people in the Rogue Camp had lost their minds and were searching for their relatives among the body parts on the ground, he hurried forward and woke Luo Ming up first.

It’s not that he didn’t give Luo Ming time to digest everything in front of him.

Mainly now, there are more important things.

While speaking to Luo Ming, he stretched out his hand with a serious expression and pointed to the large wooden house at the innermost part.

When he just came in, he noticed that of the five large wooden houses in the camp, four had collapsed, obviously having been destroyed by brute force from the outside. Only the innermost one was still intact.

Hearing his words, Luo Ming suddenly came to his senses, gave Xia Hong a grateful look, immediately put away the sadness on his face, and shouted to the people who were still searching on the ground: "Everyone, get up, don't look for now, go into the main house and have a look, there may still be people alive there."

The total population of the Rogue Camp is more than 1,300. Although the number of body parts outside is horrifying, it is far from that.

The rest of the people also reacted at this time. Some of those who had not found their relatives yet immediately showed hope on their faces and followed Luo Ming and Xia Hong, quickly moving towards the main house.

The wooden house was very spacious, with a side length of more than 50 meters. It could easily accommodate hundreds of people.

Xia Hong looked at the wooden house, then turned around and looked at the fifty or so people who had gathered around him. His brows suddenly furrowed.

"Captain Luo, the situation inside is unclear. That wooden puppet is extremely cunning. I think it's better not to have so many people go in together. How about these three, you, me, five of us go in first to check the situation, and then notify the others?"

As he spoke, Xia Hong pointed at the three people following Luo Ming.

Luo Ming immediately realized that the wooden puppet had trespassed and disguised himself as someone else. He immediately nodded and said, "Shang Ping, Li Baihe, Xu Kang, you come with me. The others wait outside first."

The three people Xia Hong pointed out were about the same age as Luo Ming. They were the three Earth Digging Realm powerhouses that Luo Ming brought out this time.

The five of them approached the cabin together. Although the front door was not closed, it was dark at the moment and everyone's vision was not very clear. They could only see that the corridor was empty through the already weak campfire inside.

Luo Ming turned around and signaled to Shang Ping and the other two. Without saying a word, the three of them rushed forward and stepped into the wooden house.

After entering the wooden house, Xia Hong immediately knew the internal structure.

In the middle of the cabin is the main hall with a bonfire as the center, and on both sides are small rooms separated by wooden boards.

The five people had already arrived in the middle of the main hall. Seeing the weak bonfire, their faces were full of confusion. Shang Ping, who was walking in the front, turned around and said to Luo Ming:
"There are signs of a struggle, but no smell of blood, and... no one?"

There were a lot of coal stones scattered around the bonfire, several chairs in the main hall were broken, and there were obvious signs of a struggle on the ground, but how come there was no one there, and not even a sound?
Could it be in the room next door?
Luo Ming frowned slightly when he realized that this was the only possibility.

It was not that he ignored the small rooms on both sides of the wooden house. It was not that he did not doubt those small rooms when he first entered the wooden house.

Firstly, the tragic scene outside just now proved that the wooden puppet's killing method was extremely cruel. If there really was someone in the small room, it would not be so quiet.

Secondly, the five of them are all powerful warriors in the Earth Digging Realm. At such a close distance, let alone five or six hundred people, they can even detect a mosquito.

Finally, there are these rooms, most of which are open, with only a few closed. In those rooms with open doors, everything is normal, with no corpses and no smell of blood. Due to inertia, they naturally do not doubt those closed rooms.

"open to take a look!"

After all, time is life, so Luo Ming did not dare to hesitate too much. He quickly pointed to the first room and asked Shang Ping to open it and take a look.

Shang Ping nodded and walked towards the first room with a 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 to stop him.

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

Those small rooms were indeed open. The rooms with open doors were normal. The closed ones did not make any noise. But this was the biggest abnormality. There was no noise outside the Rogue Camp. There were two high mountains on top. There were five or six hundred people. It was impossible for them to all grow wings and fly away.

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

There are fifteen rooms, each accommodating thirty to forty people, which means exactly five to six hundred people.

No matter what means the wooden puppet used to cram so many people into those fifteen rooms so that they couldn't detect it, the number of people at least matched, and this was enough for Xia Hong to issue a warning.

When he shouted "Run", Xia Hong had already taken the lead and rushed out. Although Luo Ming had not yet realized the reason, Xia Hong's previous performance was enough for him to trust him unconditionally.

"Shang Ping, retreat!"

He did not hesitate, called out to Shang Ping, and took the other two Earth Digging Realm experts with him, and followed Xia Hong to retreat outside.

Shang Ping, who originally planned to search the room, reacted very quickly. He quickly retreated and followed Luo Ming, running out together.

Unfortunately, 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 sword emerged from the wood chips, and the sharp blade cut through the air and slashed directly towards Shang Ping, who was at the back.

Although Shang Ping was running towards the door, he was so close that how could he not sense it? But he was facing away from the blade after all, so even if he wanted to turn around to block it, it was too late.

The sound of a knife coming from behind made Shang Ping's eyes flash with despair.

Whoosh…clang…

"Run!"

It’s Li Baihe.

Li Baihe, who was following behind Luo Ming, drew a bow from his back, aimed at the big knife, and shot a sharp arrow. His archery skills were excellent, and he hit the knife that was slashing towards Shang Ping exactly.

Xia Hong was only two or three meters away from the wooden door. He looked back and saw Shang Ping being rescued, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up again and saw Xia Chuan and others outside preparing to rush in, so he hurriedly shouted, "Don't come in, get out!"

Until now, he had no idea what was going on inside the wooden house. The more people that came in, the more trouble there would be. What's more, they were only a short distance away from the door and were about to run out.

However, as if it was a deliberate joke, Xia Hong's thoughts suddenly became a joke as the door of the wooden house suddenly merged.

When I just came in, the door of the wooden house was clearly gone.

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

The door frames on both sides were closed right in front of Xia Hong.

"The wooden puppet ghost plays with wood. Now we are in trouble!"

Xia Hong was shocked when he suddenly remembered the strange name.

"This cabin is made of Jinlin tree. I can split it open!"

Hearing Luo Ming's words from behind, Xia Hong felt relieved and quickly made way.

Luo Ming held a big knife in his hand and chopped down the closing door.
