Chapter 46 – Escape!
Everyone in Guo Dian camp woke up and were in an chaotic uproar. The soldiers ran around in confusion while their captains tried to maintain order.
These people were just newly recruited militias without training and discipline. They hadn't had any education or experienced the bloody battlefield yet. Some of them were drafted into military by force so they took this chance to desert the troops.
Tong pretended to be one of the confused soldier to get closer to Sima Xin, who was also observing the surrounding situation and tried to figure out what was going on.
Without making a single sound, Tong sneaked behind Sima Xin and covered his mouth, after which he used another hand with a knife to slit his throat.
However, Sima Xin grabbed Tong's wrist and stopped the knife. He bent his waist and shoulder forward. As the consequences, Tong lost balance and was threw forward.
Tong flipped his body in mid-air and regained his balance, only to see a knife coming for his neck.
Tong smirked and ignored the knife, and chanted his magic word in his mind.
'Time Stop. '
The world lost color and the flow of time stopped. For the next 10 seconds, Tong was the only one who could move in this world of silence.
Tong stepped forward and used his knife to penetrate Sima Xin's neck, cutting his vocal cord and neck arteries.
Afterwards, Tong used to remaining seconds to loot his body and search for the sniper rifle that he had used to shoot Tong half a year ago. When Tong found Sima Xin's M16A4, he was delighted. A free rifle from the 21st century was always welcomed.
Tong pick up Sima Xin's rifle and bullets, then he carried Sima Xin corpse back as he didn't want anybody to find out that he was dead.
At first, Tong wanted to put the corpse in his space inventory. Alas, the inventory was full.
Tong frowned and facepalmed himself. He had stored too many necessary, yet unnecessary stuff in there.
******************
Inventory List
- 232,000 gold
- 2,000 iron chest armor
- 5,000 swords
- 5,000 spears
- 2,000 pikes
- 131,509 tons of potatoes
- 1,998 tons sugar
- 2,446 Barrels of cold beer
- 270 tons of grains
- 9,000 pots of cold wine
******************
Tong had looted the grains and wine pots from Guo Dian's 10 supply depots around the camp, so the inventory spaces were filled up.
He had no choice but to holster the rifle and his bullet boxes on the front while piggyback Sima Xin corpse on his back.
Tong didn't want to declare himself as an enemy of the Sima Clan just yet. He wanted to erase the trace that linked between him and Sim Xin, so Tong could have a chance to befriend with Sima Yi and his family in the future.
If Sima Xin were to disappear in the middle of the chaos without leaving a trace behind, then his friends would spread words that he deserted the army. A run-away child who deserted an army would be nothing but a disgraceful child who ruined the family reputation.
Thus, his disappearance should not cause a grudge between Tong and the Sima Clan.
Tong continued to carry the corpse on his back while moving from a shade of a tent to one another.
On the way, there were many soldiers who spotted Tong and Sima Xin, but they didn't pay attention to them and ran toward the burning tents to extinguish the fire.
