“Xu Deping was beaten to death by my husband last night!” Ning Yanlan sneered.

"Impossible! It must be you two trying to frame Xu Deping, that's why you put on this whole show!" the village chief said indignantly.

"Are you sure?" Ning Yanlan's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Nonsense! You slaughtered the people of Xu Family Village and now you're threatening me! What else could this be but a guilty conscience?" The village chief seemed to have thought of a good idea and began to question me sternly.

Ning Yanlan blew a stray strand of hair from her ear and said coldly, "Are you sure?"

"You two have nothing to say now that I've exposed them..."

Bang!

At this moment, Jiang Yuan, who was standing at the back, was startled. He stared dumbfounded at the old man with a bloody hole in his forehead.

"What the heck? Didn't she run out of bullets?" Jiang Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

The chaos came to an abrupt halt, and the village chief swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground forever.

It must be said that Ning Yanlan's decisiveness and arrogance left a deep impression on everyone, as she shot and killed the village chief in front of so many people from Xujia Village.

"The village chief is dead!"

Xu Lian was the first to speak out.

Ning Yanlan glanced at Xu Lian, then turned to everyone present and coldly shouted, "If you want revenge, I, Ning Yanlan, will fight you to the bitter end!"

No one dared to step forward, whether out of fear of the gun in her hand or for some other reason, it was unclear.

"But now no one in Xu Family Village can defend against the monster's attack!" Xu Feng said, forcing himself to speak. He was terrified because he had made inappropriate thoughts about Ning Yanlan last night. Although it was just a shameful act due to the stirrings of adolescence, it was enough to anger her.

"You have the right to survive, but so do I! Xu Deping has set his sights on me, so he should be prepared to die at my hands!" Ning Yanlan said calmly. "Therefore, the fact that Xu Family Village has no ability to defend against the monsters has nothing to do with me!"

"Sister Yanlan!" Xu Lian called out, but dared not continue, because Ning Yanlan at this moment was completely different from the one she had seen last night. She was a decisive and ruthless woman.

"No need to tell me!" Ning Yanlan turned around. "Honey, let's go!"

Jiang Yuan was prepared to listen to Ning Yanlan's long-winded explanation, but unexpectedly Ning Yanlan turned around.

"Honey, what are you looking at! Let's go!" Ning Yanlan called out again.

"Me?" Jiang Yuan pointed to himself with a puzzled look on his face, then realized what he was doing and followed, "Oh, coming, coming!"

After the two left, only a group of Xujiacun villagers remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"this……"

"What they said is probably true; there have been sounds of a woman crying coming from the basement of the village chief's house for the past few days!"

"Yes, Xu Deping is also a wolf in sheep's clothing, hiding ulterior motives!"

"But what about those monsters now?"

"We have no choice but to fight with all our might!"

...

Mountain path

"Officer, are you sure this road is passable?"

Jiang Yuan followed behind, completely bewildered. Ning Yanlan, who was in front of him, had a firm expression, but the hesitation in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

"I remember there's a road here that leads to the South City, we should be there soon!" Ning Yanlan said, refusing to admit defeat despite feeling a bit lost.

"But why do I feel more and more familiar with this place?" Jiang Yuan looked around at his surroundings, a faint sense of familiarity lingering in his heart.

“Isn’t this how all mountain roads are? It’s normal to feel familiar with them!” Ning Yanlan waved her hand and said.

“But look at the village at the foot of the mountain ahead!” Jiang Yuan pointed into the distance, his lips twitching.

"Forehead!"

Ning Yanlan glanced at it, then fell into a long silence.

“Look, it seems like we climbed over from that side!” Jiang Yuan pointed to the other side of the village.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan finally understood that the feeling of familiarity was not an illusion; it was as if the two of them had gone around in circles and ended up back in Xujia Village.

“No two leaves are the same in the world, but there are villages that are the same!” Ning Yanlan nodded as she spoke, and said seriously, “Maybe this isn’t Xu Family Village! What if it’s Ning Family Village or Jiang Family Village?”

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Just as the two were deciding whether to stay or leave, bursts of beast roars came from all directions in the mountains, and they all converged on the village at the foot of the mountain.

"Is this what they called the beast tide?" Ning Yanlan felt a pang of pity.

"Go back if you want, it doesn't matter where you kill monsters!" Jiang Yuan was quite carefree.

Ning Yanlan looked conflicted. She had almost been defiled there, so why should she help them?

"Let's go then!" Jiang Yuan put his hands behind his head, turned around and walked forward.

A hint of struggle flashed across Ning Yanlan's face, but in the end she sighed and said, "Jiang Yuan, can I ask you for a favor?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan, who was conflicted and struggling, and smiled, saying, "I didn't mean to help you. I just want to go kill some monsters!"

"We'll help within our capabilities!" Ning Yanlan understood Jiang Yuan's meaning. She would help, but it was impossible for her to risk her life for him. Everyone's life matters! However, she couldn't bear to see a girl like Xu Lian being eaten by a monster.

"Let's go!" Jiang Yuan didn't have much resentment towards this place. Anyway, those who needed to be killed had already been killed. The others were just like them, small people struggling to survive.

"Aren't you angry?" Ning Yanlan asked as they walked.

"What's there to be angry about? He's already killed someone!" Jiang Yuan said dismissively. "If you're still angry, go back and dance wildly at his grave. Maybe that guy will die of anger again!"

"Hahaha!" Ning Yanlan burst into laughter.
