Jiang Sheng approached Jiang Yao and the others' car, looked at Jiang Yao with a slight frown, and said impatiently, "News has come back from the front that there has been a landslide and the bridge is blocked."

"You'll all go ahead and help clear the road later." After saying that, he continued walking towards the back.

Shen Zhijie was displeased with Jiang Sheng's tone, feeling that Jiang Yao had gone easy on him.

Only Jiang Yao and Xiao Mu knew that this method of fighting was so skillful that it could leave no visible marks while still causing pain.

During the day, Jiang Sheng endured the pain outside and still gritted his teeth to help Shen Yu with her work. Only he knew the bitterness in his heart.

Seeing Jiang Sheng grit his teeth and persevere every day, Huang Zhihong felt incredibly smug.

Xiao Mu turned to Jiang Yao and said, "Now that there are more refugees, Jiang Yao, you should stay in the vehicle and guard the supplies!"

Seeing an opportunity, Shen Zhijie chimed in, "As for the work of clearing the roads ahead, a few of us men can handle that."

Seeing how generous everyone was, Jiang Yao decided not to compete with them, since she really didn't want to do any physical labor.

However, shouts could be heard from outside the car from time to time. It was either that something had been stolen or that someone had come to knock on the window asking for food.

It wasn't until after 6 p.m. that Xiao Mu and the others returned. "Looks like we'll have to spend the night here."

"It will take another day to clear the bridge ahead."

Jiang Yao found it strange. The road to the farm was very close, so why did Shen Yu take this road? Was he hiding something from everyone?

Jiang Yao left after Shen Zhijie and the others returned from relieving themselves that night.

Along the way, many people stared at Jiang Yao, who was alone, but she ignored them and instead took out the gun in her hand and waved it around.

Seeing that Jiang Yao had a gun, the other party reluctantly withdrew their greedy gaze. Jiang Yao felt that it was really inconvenient for a woman to travel alone, given the scrutinizing looks they had received along the way.

It's too inconvenient to go out without a motorhome. After walking a long way and seeing that no one was around, Jiang Yao took the motorhome out of her space.

Back in the car, Jiang Yao plugged in the water heater and prepared to take a relaxing hot shower.

An hour later, Jiang Yao slowly walked out and saw Xiao Mu with his back to her, his slender fingers holding a cigarette, the scarlet flame flickering.

Perhaps hearing the sound, Xiao Mu turned around, tilted his head slightly, and put the cigarette back into his mouth. A bluish-white smoke blurred his appearance, and Jiang Yao felt her heart pounding wildly.

Neither of them spoke as they walked toward the car.

On the way back, two men suddenly rushed out, pointing knives at Xiao Mu and Jiang Yao, saying, "Leave the woman behind, and we'll spare your life and let you go."

Xiao Mu put the cigarette in his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the two people in front of him with a cold smile.

Jiang Yao felt that this highway robbery was an insult to her intelligence.

Do I really look that inexperienced?

The moment the other party pointed the knife at Xiao Mu, Jiang Yao rushed forward and kicked him in the stomach. This kick made his already hungry stomach even worse.

Seeing Jiang Yao suddenly make a move, Xiao Mu helplessly pulled out his gun and slowly pressed it against her head. "If you want to live, get lost." His tone was cold and icy.

It gives you a feeling that makes you tremble.

When the man saw the gun in Xiao Mu's hand, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably. He looked up at the extremely oppressive aura emanating from Xiao Mu, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. He suddenly felt as if he had offended some powerful figure. He immediately begged for mercy, "Big brother, I know I was wrong."

"Please forgive my rudeness and let me go!" After saying this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Seeing that Xiao Mu had no intention of killing him, he got up and quickly fled.

Jiang Yao felt that it wasn't that the other party underestimated her, but rather that she underestimated Xiao Mu.

Damn, it turns out Xiao Mu didn't take the two of them seriously at all.

Xiao Mu threw the cigarette from the corner of his mouth onto the ground and stomped it out. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Yao and quickly left.

Looking at the tall man walking ahead, Jiang Yao suddenly wondered what he would do if he liked someone.

Back in the car, Shen Zhijie handed Jiang Yao a dinner from the back, saying, "Eat quickly!"

"We still have to stay on duty at night."

"I really can't live like this anymore." Amid Shen Zhijie's wails, the night watch began.

"Hurry up and get to work!" Jiang Sheng and Nuoyi shouted early in the morning, urging everyone to continue clearing the road.

Looking at Jiang Sheng's sycophantic manner, Jiang Yao began to wonder if she had hit him too lightly.

Six hours later, the road was finally cleared, and the first thing Shen Zhijie did upon returning was to start complaining.

This isn't a mission; it's just a pretext to make us serve him alone. Why not take the main road instead of this small town? Now, if anyone says he has no ulterior motives, I'll argue with them.

Soon the shouts came again, "Hurry up and get on the bus, we're leaving!"

When He Rui and the others got back to the car, they were too exhausted to speak. Jiang Yao pretended to take out some water from her backpack and handed it to them, saying, "Hurry up and have some water!"

Seeing that Xiao Mu still intended to drive, Jiang Yao refused, saying, "I'll drive!"

Xiao Mu was probably really tired. Without being polite to Jiang Yao, he closed his eyes and sat down in the passenger seat to rest.

Perhaps because the road clearing had taken up time these past two days, Shen Yu and her team no longer stopped and started as often as before. Now, the time they spent stopping to rest had become much shorter. At night, Xiao Mu would wake up and let Jiang Yao rest.

Looking at the large group behind her, Jiang Yao could only sigh.

Perhaps it was just fate playing tricks, but several crawling monsters appeared out of nowhere during the night, and screams began to come from the back of the convoy. The people, who had no weapons to resist, were quickly dragged away and devoured by the crawling monsters.

Jiang Yao and the others grabbed their weapons, got out of the car, and rushed to the back. They knew that if they caught the crawling monster here, it would mean they would no longer have to follow Shen Yu's orders and could return.

Perhaps because they were thinking about finishing the mission quickly, everyone was very motivated. It was just a pity that when Jiang Yao and the others arrived, the crawling monster had already disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Yao looked at the ruins in the distance and wondered if the AAS area had completely fallen, with these monsters scattered everywhere.

The thought that suddenly popped into her head frightened Jiang Yao.

Shen Zhijie felt a little regretful that he hadn't caught any crawling monsters. He could have completed the mission much faster, but he just hadn't caught a single one.

When Jiang Sheng, Nuoyi, and the others arrived, they looked around and shouted, "Where did that crawling monster go?"

“There it is.”

Jiang Yao found Jiang Sheng's arrogant and domineering manner laughable, and pointed in one direction, "Over there."

Jiang Sheng's subconscious step back amused Shen Zhijie, which made the already tense group burst into laughter.

Realizing he had been tricked, Jiang Sheng angrily grabbed Jiang Yao by the collar and shouted, "Jiang Yao, don't forget, I am your elder."
