Watching Li Jinfang's abruptly distorted movements, Gao Yang knew that the sentries must all be dead. When he reached the three soldiers, Li Jinfang came up to him and whispered, "Holy shit, they're really all dead. This poison is too powerful, too incredible!"
Gao Yang switched his night vision device to low-light mode, leaned down to check, and then felt for a pulse on the necks of the three men. As expected, all three were thoroughly dead.
The deceased sentries were holding their guns, still maintaining the posture of leaning on each other. Each had been hit by an arrow, one in the neck—his quick death was somewhat excusable. But one of them had been hit in the thigh, and despite this, the soldier hadn't changed position at all. Gao Yang figured this man must have died in his sleep without even feeling the pain.
