The first thing that catches the eye is the old tree at the village entrance. It still stands there with its intertwined roots, but beneath it lie several shriveled corpses, drained of blood, lying haphazardly. Their faces are twisted, eyes wide open, as if witnessing an unspeakable terror in their last moments of life. One elder, gripping a sickle tightly, has fingers turned white from the effort, seemingly resisting before death.
Walking along the narrow dirt road, most of the farmhouse doors are half open. By the threshold of one house, a young figure lies hugging a child closely, the child nestled tightly in the young one's arms. Both bodies are similarly drained of blood.
"What a beast!"
"Who the hell did this? Attacking a peaceful force, it's too evil."
Upon seeing this scene, the players spoke up in the team voice channel.
With a darkened face, Captain Fang Zhi led the team to the center of the village.
