The Emperor’s Daily Nitpicking - Chapter 148

[Article 148]

When it cracked, there was a slight “beep” sound, one after another, and the “gudugudu” boiling sound became the only movement in this area.

The surface of those black wet mud is not smooth. When the mud bubble bursts, it will bring out some other strange things, float on the surface black, and after a while, it will be swallowed back by the ooze.

The surrounding area of this swamp is ten meters without vegetation, most of which are stems that have long since shriveled, drooping and half hanging in the mud.

Before we got close enough, I could feel the steaming heat from the swamp and the rotten smell mixed with the damp smell of the soil, which was very pungent.

But the entire team didn’t seem to realize that they were approaching danger, and just walked forward mechanically and dazedly, as if they only had the destination in their minds, not even knowing the turns and detours.

The wind swept through the woods, with the sickening smell of the boiling swamp, and slapped the crowd in the face.

Probably because the smell was too irritating, a few young men dressed as soldiers at the front of the team frowned suddenly and blinked a few times.

In a semi-conscious state, they were deterred by the swamp in front of them and stopped abruptly.

However, the crowd at the back still walked forward without realizing it, and with the strength of squeezing, they pushed the soldiers forward and moved a distance.

On the one hand, those few soldiers fought stubbornly in their minds, trying to make themselves more conscious and able to control their limbs freely enough.

On the one hand, it is necessary to compete with the crowd that is pushing and moving forward.

Driven by energy, they almost broke away from the crowd and stepped aside to avoid being squeezed into the swamp.

However, the moment one of the soldiers with a baby face struggled to turn his head, he happened to see a group of young and old behind him. The youngest cub couldn’t even walk and was held in his hand.

The little boy’s eyes are much clearer than others, but he is also unaware of danger.

When the baby-faced soldier’s eyes met the little thing, the toothless cub stared at him with dark eyes, and then suddenly showed him a silly, childish smile.

“I… grab my… hand!” Seeing the smiling soldier, he suddenly woke up a lot, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, and shouted at the soldier next to him in a less agile voice: “Quick! Stop…stop them!”

The soldiers in the front row stretched out their hands one after another in his shouts, clasping their wrists, just when Zhi was not sober, he pulled up a thin wall of people. Trying to stop the people behind who are still moving forward.

However, with just a few of them, it is almost impossible to fight against nearly a thousand people behind them.

While forcing themselves to stay awake, they shouted and tried to wake up the people behind, but they were pushed closer and closer to the boiling swamp by the crowd…

“Stop, stop!!” The toes of the soldier in the middle almost touched At the edge of the swamp, the shouting became louder, almost sharp.

However, even so, he didn’t think of it, he could choose to put his hands down and hide to the side by himself.

“Wake up quickly!!” The very tall soldier at the farthest looked anxious, raised his foot and stepped on the foot of the person behind him.

Hearing “Ow–” a howl, the order of the people was in chaos, and several civilians were awakened by this voice.

The crowd was like fire bees gathered at the edge of the nest, and the buzzing sound gradually spread from the front to the back.

However, this is only a change at the front of the team, and the large troops at the back are still squeezing forward like meat.

“Ah!!” A scream sounded, and one of the soldiers at the front finally couldn’t stop it and was squeezed into the swamp.

His eyes widened and he struggled frantically, but in the blink of an eye, he sank into most of his body, leaving only the position above his chest.

Boiling swamps, as the name suggests, are extremely hot, and the heat alone can scald people off a layer of skin.

The soldier’s scream turned weak, and finally broke at the bottom of his throat. Together with his whole body, he sank into the black mud of the swamp.

Once there was a gap in the human wall, a few more people followed and shoved into the swamp.

The soldiers pulling the human wall went down three in a blink of an eye.

For a time, there were constant screams in this area, and even the heart trembled when I heard it.

The baby-faced soldier persisted and persisted, almost putting all his strength on his heels, but still failed to block the person behind him.

He was pushed and shoved by two waves of people, unable to survive, and accidentally stepped on the swamp.

The black mud of the boiling swamp is like a blood basin of beasts eating people
