Chapter 1778

Infected were rushing toward the entire defensive line.

Fortunately, the defensive line here was wide enough.

The water here was also turbulent enough; otherwise, it might have become blocked.

After all, there were quite a lot of these infected, just like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The infected fell into the water in dense masses.

In the water, they were washed away by the rushing river current after only a short while.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers were all overjoyed.

If they were outside Rock City, they would still need to hunt and kill them themselves.

Now, they could just stand to the side and watch; it was much more convenient and simple.

"Your Highness, water attacks are indeed effective."

"The soldiers don't even have to work themselves to death."

"Your Highness is truly wise; otherwise, we would never have thought of this method."

"Besides, if we used fire, we wouldn't have brought that much lamp oil."

"Water attacks are simpler and more convenient; we can just stand and watch the show."

"Hahaha, this is truly refreshing!"

The generals took turns flattering the wise actions of His Highness.

Ying Ying Zi Ye stood to the side with a smile on his face, not saying much.

He had long since grown accustomed to these flattering words.

However, Ying Ying Zi Ye's brow soon furrowed tightly.

"Your Highness, something seems wrong."

At this moment, Meng Tian approached, his own brow also furrowed.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Meng Tian in confusion: "What is it?"

"Is something wrong?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not know what Meng Tian meant by "wrong."

But he, too, had discovered something amiss.

"Your Highness, this general has discovered that among these infected, it seems not all of them are people from the Gija Kingdom."

"It seems... it seems there are also the garments of the Donghu and the Xiongnu."

"The clothes on those infected are somewhat tattered and stained with blood, so it is not very clear."

Meng Tian's brow furrowed even tighter; he was too familiar with the Xiongnu.

He felt that the clothes some of the infected were wearing looked like Xiongnu attire.

But many of the clothes were tattered and blurred.

And because they were covered in blood and filth, it was not very clear.

But his inner intuition told him that those were indeed Xiongnu.

But how could there be Xiongnu here?

Weren't the Xiongnu in the Western Regions?

This was the Gija Kingdom.

The two places were not in the same direction.

The two places were separated by a great distance, practically one in the east and one in the west.

How could Xiongnu appear here?

And they had even turned into infected?

This left Meng Tian unable to understand.

That was why he had furrowed his brow and sought out Ying Ying Zi Ye.

"What a coincidence, you discovered this problem too."

"Salvage one and let's take a look."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Meng Tian in surprise.

Even Meng Tian had discovered this; he had only just noticed it himself.

Originally, those infected had hideous expressions, and it was impossible to tell where they were from.

One could only rely on the clothes they were wearing to identify them.

But the clothes those infected were wearing were all stained with blood.

Some were even filthy and tattered, making them very hard to identify.

He was also curious why Xiongnu infected would appear here.

After all, the two places were too far apart; the Xiongnu should not be appearing here.

Therefore, he also wanted to confirm whether they were truly Xiongnu.

"Your Highness, you..."

Meng Tian was also stunned; he had not expected His Highness to have discovered this problem.

He was truly meticulous.

"This general will go do it immediately."

Meng Tian turned around immediately and took a long halberd.

He stopped at the edge of the canal to observe those infected.

After all, not all infected wore the same clothes, so this required some keen eyes.

The surrounding generals were bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

They only saw General Meng Tian say something to His Highness.

Then they saw the General take a long halberd and walk to the edge of the canal.

It looked as if he was about to strike.

They did not know what this was all about.

Soon, they saw the General strike.

A long halberd pierced through an infected person about to fall into the water.

The infected struggled constantly on the halberd.

It was as if this halberd piercing his chest had no effect on him at all.

Subsequently, the halberd poked into the water, and the infected was poked directly into the water.

When it was lifted again, the infected had stopped moving.

Meng Tian threw the infected onto the ground and used the halberd to pry open the clothes on his body.

After observing for a while, Meng Tian pried up another infected person.

After bringing it ashore in the same manner, he stripped off the clothes on its body.

After confirming it again, Meng Tian fell silent.

Ying Ying Zi Ye walked up at this time.

"Your Highness, it really is a Xiongnu."

"Why would there be Xiongnu here?"

Meng Tian looked at those clothes carefully for a while.

Confirming that it was indeed a Xiongnu, this left him unable to understand the situation.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked carefully for a while, and after confirming there was no mistake, he threw this corpse back into the canal.

"This is indeed a Xiongnu, but I do not know how the Xiongnu could be here."

"This Prince also does not know what is going on."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was indeed bewildered at this moment.

After confirming that the corpse was a Xiongnu, he thought about many things.

But for the time being, he could not understand what was going on.

This matter was indeed somewhat baffling.

The surrounding generals only then knew what was going on.

So it turned out that Xiongnu had been discovered among the infected.

This was truly strange. ===== CHAPTER 1780 =====
