Chapter 864: The Wilted Radish Has the Spiciest Heart

To be honest, although both Wang An and Wang Li had experienced the living hell of the forbidden zones and gold mines, the sight before them was still a bit too much to handle.

Mainly, the corpse at this moment bore no resemblance to a human being; it was completely covered in flies.

On the ground beside the body, one could see large maggots that had fallen off the corpse, their massive sizes causing them to squirm and crawl about randomly.

After a while, Wang Li said with a pale face

"Fourth Brother, this... what do we do? Should we... should we go over and take a look?"

Hearing this, Wang An instinctively shook his head and said

"No, I'm not going. If you want to go, you go. Anyway, I'm not going."

Rarely, Wang Li did not listen to Wang An this time. Instead, he shook his head and said

"Then I'm not going either. I'm scared."

Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said

"Look at you, acting like a coward. A grown man saying he's scared—aren't you just embarrassing yourself?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Li continued to talk back

"Then if you aren't scared, why aren't you going?"

Wang An raised his leg and gave Wang Li's backside a kick, saying

"I think you're just asking for a beating. If you aren't going, why are you even asking?"

Wang Li rubbed his kicked backside and looked at Wang An with a face full of resentment, falling silent.

However, it was obvious that Wang Li must be cursing Wang An in his heart.

Immediately after, Wang An said

"Alright, stop acting out. Let's go; let's find another place to stay. This spot is a bit creepy."

Wang Li pointed with his chin toward the corpse and said with a wicked smile

"How about we fire off a couple of shots and summon the others over? Let them have a look too?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An's eyes lit up.

Joy is doubled when shared; with so many flies, surely the others had never seen anything like this?

Furthermore, maggots that big definitely deserved to be seen by everyone!

Thus, Wang An patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said

"You're right. Fire away."

As they spoke, the two put away their pistols, took the Type 56 semi-automatics from their backs, and began firing: "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

It must be said that humans are likely just like this: when there is a benefit, everyone wants to keep it for themselves, but once there is something disgusting or troublesome, the first instinct is to make everyone face it together.

They felt that since everyone had entered the mountains together, it would be a huge loss to face such a mess alone!

And so, after each of them had fired five shots, they began reloading their magazines while exchanging wicked smiles.

What these two didn't know was that after the gunshots rang out, on a large tree about 200 meters away, a leopard leaped quickly from the branches and ran deeper into the mountains.

Clearly, this leopard had been stalking Wang An and his companion for a long time.

Sure enough, because the two had fired their guns, the first group of people was quickly summoned over. Unsurprisingly, the ones who arrived were the brothers Li Mu and Li Biao.

Seeing Li Biao again, neither Wang An nor Wang Li felt any disgust; instead, they felt genuinely happy.

After all, the goal of Wang An and Wang Li was to make everyone experience the same thrilling and disgusting scene as they had.

It had to be admitted that the most impressive thing about Li Biao was that his skin was thick enough.

As soon as they met, Li Biao said excitedly

"Did you guys kill that Big Cannon Egg? We agreed, I get a share of the Big Cannon Egg meat."

To be honest, Li Biao's words left both Wang An and Wang Li completely bewildered.

The key was, what the hell was he talking about?

How did this suddenly get linked to some "Big Cannon Egg"?

Ignoring the idiot Li Biao, Wang Li took the initiative to speak to Li Mu in a mysterious tone

"Second Brother Li, my Fourth Brother and I... I think we found Niu Qi."

Hearing this, Li Mu's face immediately filled with joy as he asked

"Where is he, brother? Is he still alive?"

In everyone's mind, Niu Qi was likely already dead, so hearing this news suddenly made Li Mu and Li Biao visibly excited.

After all, whether it was saving a life or returning a body to Niu Qi's family, it would be a tangible achievement.

The gratitude of saving a life goes without saying.

But the reason returning a body was also considered a merit was that in China, the priority is "resting in peace in the earth."

If a person died violently in the wild and their body could not be buried quickly, they would become a lonely ghost. For the family, this would be an eternal pain and regret.

That is why there is a very vicious insult: "Even when you die, there will be no one to collect your corpse."

Of course, setting that aside, only by finding Niu Qi as quickly as possible could the group descend the mountain and go home early.

Wang Li shook his head and said with a serious expression

"Neither of us dared to look. I reckon... probably... eighty percent chance he's a goner."

It must be said that hanging around Wang An definitely wouldn't make you a better person.

Because at this moment, Wang Li's acting was so convincing that it felt as though he wasn't lying at all.

Seeing Wang Li's performance, Wang An's lips twitched several times, and he almost burst out laughing.

He never expected that Wang Li was truly a "withered radish with the spiciest heart"—full of wicked ideas.

After Wang Li finished speaking, Li Biao said impatiently

"Look at you two and your little nerves. Where is he? Damn, what's there to be afraid of with a dead person?"

Just as Li Biao said, there was indeed nothing to fear about a dead person, but a corpse covered in flies and maggots was genuinely terrifying.

Mainly, the thing was, it was truly disgusting!

Wang Li pretended to be embarrassed and said

"The two of us were thinking... thinking we should wait for more people to come and look together, otherwise..."

Before Wang Li could finish, Li Biao said even more urgently

"What time is it? You're still thinking about waiting for more people? Besides, why bring so many people over for one dead body?"

Wang Li blinked and instinctively looked toward Wang An, as if asking him how to handle this.

Unfortunately, Wang An was even more wicked than Wang Li. He pretended to be indifferent and said

"If he wants to see, just lead him over. It's just a matter of a few minutes sooner or later."

Upon hearing that he had to be the one to lead them, Wang Li immediately shook his head

"I don't dare look..."

Turning around, Wang Li pointed in the direction of the corpse and told Li Biao

"It's right over there. There's a small ditch, and he's lying at the bottom of it..."

As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, Li Biao rushed over, and Li Mu instinctively followed.

Once the two had left, the look in Wang Li's eyes as he glanced at Wang An changed completely.
