Chapter 868: Marinated in the stench

Hearing the words "covered in large white maggots," the eyelids and corners of Wang An and Wang Li's mouths couldn't help but twitch.

It must be admitted that the scene Li Mu described, just by imagining it simply, could make one's hair stand on end, skin tremble, and the whole person spasm.

Mainly because this scene is just too disgusting.

What exactly is the concept of being covered in white maggots?

Imagining the image of Li Biao covered in white maggots in his head, and looking at Li Mu retching in front of him, finally, Wang An and Wang Li, these two wicked people full of bad ideas, also felt their throats and stomachs feeling a bit wrong.

This kind of imagery is truly not something an ordinary person can bear.

Fortunately, Wang An and Wang Li were people who had experienced hellish scenes, so they only felt a bit wrong, but didn't actually vomit.

Suppressing his nausea, Wang An asked Li Mu:

"Is that dead person really Niu Qi?"

Li Mu said intermittently while retching:

"It should be... Ugh... Ugh... it is... Ugh... it is him."

After Li Mu finished speaking, Wang An and Wang Li looked at each other again.

The reason they looked at each other was because they really couldn't understand how Li Mu could identify that unrecognizable dead person, covered in maggots and flies, as Niu Qi.

However, Wang An and Wang Li were also very smart and didn't ask in detail; mainly because this kind of thing really wasn't worth delving into.

Anyway, Wang An and Wang Li would absolutely never rummage through a dead body to try and identify it; let whoever wants to do it, do it.

Seeing Li Mu calm down again, Wang Li said with wide eyes:

"Second Brother Li, what did Li Biao go do now? Why hasn't he come over yet?"

The two words "Li Biao" had probably become a taboo in Li Mu's mind at this moment, so hearing Wang Li mention it again, Li Mu, although listless, said angrily:

"Don't mention that big idiot to me, damn his... Ugh... Ugh..."

It could be heard that the last word Li Mu wanted to say before retching was "wife," but the physiological reaction of retching was truly uncontrollable.

However, it could also be seen that although Li Mu was very uncomfortable, his brain was still very clear, and he didn't curse Li Biao's elders; after all, no matter how much of an idiot Li Biao was, he was still Li Mu's kinsman.

Just like that, Li Mu started retching again.

Wang Li blinked his big eyes, stuck out his tongue at Wang An, and shrugged his shoulders, with an attitude of "what the hell are we supposed to do."

After a while, Li Mu took the safety off his Type 56 semi-automatic and pulled the trigger toward the sky. After 5 consecutive gunshots of "Bang," "Bang," "Bang," Li Mu stopped and started loading bullets into the chamber of the Type 56.

Because Li Mu's series of actions were completed under the gaze of Wang An and Wang Li, although Wang An and Wang Li were a bit puzzled, they didn't ask anything.

Clearly, Li Mu was summoning others to come over.

Wang An took out cigarettes and handed one to Li Mu and Wang Li respectively, and the three started puffing away.

Actually, Wang An still wanted to ask Li Mu how he distinguished that the dead person was Niu Qi, but seeing Li Mu's miserable state, Wang An was embarrassed to ask.

Mainly because if Wang An asked, Li Mu would likely retch again.

Just like that, the three of them stared at each other in silence, only Wang An and Wang Li were constantly communicating with their eyes, occasionally smiling knowingly, though they didn't know what the other was smiling about.

After a long while, gunshots were suddenly heard in the distance, three consecutive shots, and upon hearing the gunshots, Li Mu's face clearly brightened, and he picked up his Type 56 and fired two shots.

After Li Mu's gunshots rang out, the gunshots in the distance merged into one, and Wang An silently counted them; there were 5 gunshots.

Wang An guessed that this should be a contact signal among the militia; 5 gunshots might mean "everyone assemble."

As for 3 gunshots and 2 gunshots, they might mean "where are you" and "I'm here." Anyway, even if it didn't mean that, it definitely meant something similar.

After the gunshots in the distance rang out, seeing that Li Mu had no intention of firing again, Wang Li nudged Li Mu and said:

"Second Brother Li, they fired over there again, why don't you fire back to give them a signal?"

Perhaps because of the gunshots, Li Mu's mood was clearly much better. Hearing Wang Li's question, Li Mu said with a smile on his lips:

"He is summoning people further away; we don't need to respond here."

Wang Li nodded and said:

"Then what did those three shots and the two shots you fired mean?"

Li Mu laughed:

"Three shots mean 'where are you,' and two shots mean 'I'm here.' There's nothing to it, it just wastes a bit of ammunition."

Sure enough, Li Mu's answer was the same as what Wang An had guessed.

Pausing, Li Mu laughed again:

Latest novel first release!

"Wait a while, they will all be here soon."

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Li Biao returned, soaking wet.

At this moment, Li Biao was not only wet in his hair and face, but even his clothes, pants, and shoes were all wet.

Don't know if Li Biao jumped into the water or if he put on his wet clothes after taking a bath and washing them.

Seeing Li Biao, Li Mu, who had been quite happy, changed his face immediately; the feeling was like a pile of shit walking toward Li Mu.

Mainly because Li Mu started retching again.

To be honest, Wang An felt a bit sorry for Li Mu; a perfectly good person, but he was tricked into this state by his own kinsman.

From this, it can be seen how indelible the trauma Li Biao left on Li Mu must be.

But as soon as Li Biao approached, Wang An and Wang Li couldn't stand it either.

Because although Li Biao looked washed clean, as long as you got slightly close, you could smell a very strong stench.

This stench was the smell of meat rotting into liquid, countless times stronger than the smell of shit.

If one wanted to find a reference, then according to Wang An's knowledge, perhaps only by refining stinky tofu soup countless times could one achieve this effect.

In short, this stench was simply invincible; once you got it on you, water couldn't wash it off at all.

And as for Li Biao himself, he must have been marinated in this stench; it is estimated that for a short time, this smell would not leave Li Biao.

Li Mu said while retching, unable to help himself:

"Can you damn well stay away from us?"
