Chapter 589: Swift Victory

e gathering included prominent figures from politics, business, and the military. And ripples also saw that Kuomintang officer - the one who had forced her to marry him as his aunt in her previous lif...The warriors, though their hearts ached, gritted their teeth and, eyes reddened, fired at the violet-ranked puppets attacking them, as Ripple had commanded.

The guns in their hands were still the original ones, but the bullets had been treated with ripples, soaked in glutinous rice water, and inscribed with exorcism talismans. They were quite effective against purple-ranked puppets.

Once the first person fired, the rest stopped engaging with their former comrades who were roaring and charging towards them. They all raised their guns and began firing with precision.

Before they went out, the ripples gave these people some basic training.

The key attack points are the forehead, eyes, neck, and chest. Although they have become zombies, because they were only recently transformed, they haven't been forged into impenetrable beings. They still retain human weaknesses, so attacking these areas will still inflict damage.

After the gunshots rang out, all the purple-ranked puppets that rushed over were shot and fell to the ground. For a moment, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Only the ripples in his hands, this white-level puppet, was still struggling desperately, but it was all in vain. He could only twitch uncontrollably because the purple lightning talisman was still wreaking havoc inside him.

The ripples surveyed the surroundings, making sure no more puppets would emerge before she finally put away her formation. Turning to the pale-faced squad leader, she said:

Tell your people to take these puppets back.

"Master Wu, they are just part of the missing people." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The man spoke with difficulty, as if still clinging to the last sliver of hope.

Ripple didn't want to attack the other person, so she just lightly said:

"With me here, they won't dare send anyone to attack us again. If they do, they'll end up strangled by me. It's best we take these puppets back to their base and give them a proper farewell!"

"Yes!"

This time the other party didn't hesitate, immediately contacting the personnel on standby at their base. Then, silently and discreetly, they gathered the bodies from the ground.

When the people who stayed behind arrived and saw that their missing companions had all turned into monsters with purple faces, they were also very distressed. Everyone silently carried the corpses back.

With the white-grade puppet in hand, Lian Yi returned to the base alone.

The camp was brightly lit at this time, everyone standing in formation, their gazes focused on the ten corpses laid out in a row on the ground. Their eyes held a mixture of forbearance, anger, confusion, and sorrow. Several people's eyes were already red with tears.

Ripple sighed in his heart, but he had no choice but to go up. After checking each corpse one by one, he said to the person who had been waiting beside him:

They have all become corpses, reduced to the lowest level of purple-ranked puppets. I am powerless to change this fate. I should cremate their bodies as soon as possible.

Even if they were destroyed, they would constantly emanate corpse qi, which would be harmful to normal people.

"Yes, Master Wu!"

The man also had a face full of sadness, and his voice choked with emotion as he agreed.

After thinking for a moment, Lian Ri said:

"They are all your comrades. Hold a farewell ceremony, and I will help you cremate their remains."

Thank you, Master Wu.

After the man thanked them, he went to organize everyone for what they would do next.

And Ripples went to see Master Meng.

Master Meng was clearly also troubled, waiting up until the patrol guards returned. Now he stood by the window, looking at the corpses that had been carried back into the yard.

After hearing the knock on the door, Master Meng replied without turning around:

Come in!

"Master Meng, tonight's plan to lure the snakes out of their holes was a success. We managed to eliminate all the puppets. Tomorrow night, I will go and find their nest."

Ripples said softly.

"Wu Tian Shi, you've worked hard!"

“This is my responsibility.”

"These people are innocent. Who would use such a vicious method to harm them, and what is the reason for doing so"

Master Meng's voice was heavy with sorrow.

Ripples could understand Master Meng's feelings. She said softly:

“These people are doing this to stir up trouble. Once the border line is in chaos, all sorts of riff-raff will come out. I won't let these people die in vain.”

"Okay, I've been waiting for Wu Tian Shi to say that. Just tell me what you need."

Master Meng said coldly.

"I can do that! Tell Master Meng and the others goodbye for me! I'll see them off."

Ripple looked at the other person and said.

"Great!"

As the sun rose, the entire camp was shrouded in a somber silence. In the center of the camp, a large bonfire crackled, with eleven sets of remains from fallen comrades resting upon it.

After the salute fired, Ripples, clad in a white robe, stepped forward and flicked out eleven fire talismans with her hand. They ignited the bones on the ground instantly.

Then she swiftly muttered incantations, drawing the soul trapped within the bones out.

The extracted souls had a moment of confusion, then they saw their former comrades. And those stationed there also saw the figures floating in mid-air.

"Farewell to them! I shall send them into reincarnation."

As the ripples opened, everyone sent out a point of merit light. When the golden points of merit submerged into their souls, the air around them rippled, and their souls became even more translucent.

Having benefited, these detached souls thanked the ripples and then waved to the people below before finally disappearing into the air.

At this time, the corpse had burned to ashes. Lian Ri waved her sleeves, a gentle breeze swept past, taking away the last trace of their existence.

The people stationed there were feeling a bit down, these weren't things ripples could intervene with. That night, she left the base with the patrol unit on the border, but this time, she slipped into Myanmar's border line midway.

This matter had been reported to Lian Ri and Master Meng before. Since both sides have been attacked, the possibility of Myanmar's people becoming puppets is also very high.

And the ripples have already investigated in Huaguo, and found no trace of the necromancer's lair. So the other party is very likely hiding within the Myanmar border.

Based on the above analysis, Ripple decided to go to the Myanmar border to get a feel for the situation.

So that night she reached the border of Burma without arousing any suspicion. When she took out her compass, it reacted immediately.

"Tsk, really hiding here."

After the ripple used a compass to determine its direction, it slowly moved in that direction.

Unfortunately, before she could reach her destination, the Myanmar border patrol team was ambushed. It was another wave of purple-level puppets, led by a white-level puppet as well.

This puppet is wearing Chinese clothing, while those purple-level puppets are more disorganized and wear all sorts of things, with more Burmese people.

Since they had met, Lianyi did not stand idly by. She gave each of the puppet biting people a Purple Thunder Talisman, and after the puppets fell to the ground and lost their combat ability, she gave each of them a Fire Talisman, burning them to ashes and thus resolving the crisis of the Myanmar patrol team.

Suddenly, ripples felt a gust of cold wind from behind her. She turned her head, and a ghastly white hand brushed against her hair, grasping at nothing.

The ripples didn't look back, a kick sent flying something stiff, the other party was kicked out.

The ripples then turned, her eyes flashing as she looked at the figure charging towards her again. The other was covered in green fur, a green-level puppet, a level higher than the white-level puppets. At this time, its red eyes were fixed on her once more, attacking her.hasn't relented. He thinks as long as you don't marry into the Wu family, Wu Lianyi has a hope of returning. After all, by now, his qualifications seem to surpass mine."At first, he was diagnosed with...
