I Packed Away the Supplies and Fled with My Family

Nuclear pollution has altered human genes, granting abilities that can be plundered by others. Shen Xingmian managed to acquire multiple abilities but, in the end, overwhelmed by despair for the fu...

Chapter 194 Emergency Handling

"Everyone says that the people of Linyue value the New Year, and it's really true. Once this period is over, they all sleep like logs, which is really convenient for us, haha."

One of them lowered his voice somewhat arrogantly.

The other man was getting impatient: "Hurry up and say less. If someone finds out, we're finished!"

"Always contradicting others. Does this look like someone is on night watch? The guards at the door haven't even used any sleeping incense yet, and they're already falling asleep."

"Alright, alright, hurry up, grab the provisions, and let's get back quickly."

The two men sneaked up to the general's tent, intending to blow their Ghost Doctor's unique sleeping potion inside. Just a tiny whiff of it would knock out even a ten-ox-sized person.

It's incredibly useful.

If it weren't for their eldest prince seeking the medicine, they would never have had the chance to use such a wonderful thing.

Once we drug and tie up Shen Zhiheng and take him away, will we still have to worry about the Northern Army continuing to occupy this place and blocking their advance into Linyue?

Shen Xingmian was trying to figure out what to do: should she take down the two men directly, or let them think they had succeeded and go back to report with what they wanted, so that she could follow them and wipe them out completely?

She prefers the second option.

She wanted to teach any hostile force that came knocking on her door a lesson, no matter who it was, preferably one that would cripple them.

However, her grandfather is still in the space and there is no time to communicate, so she can only act according to the situation.

After making the decision, seeing the sleeping smoke being blown in, Shen Xingmian held her breath and slipped out of the tent.

The two people outside were listening intently to the sounds inside, completely unaware that the person inside had already circled around behind them.

Hearing that it was quiet inside, the two felt much more at ease. They quietly pushed open the door, only to find that there was no one inside.

Strangely, the stove inside was still burning, as if someone had been inside.

But the tent only had one door and no place to hide, so it seemed unlikely. The two of them couldn't figure it out, so they looked at each other for a while and then gave up thinking about it.

Anyway, the order from above was just to secretly transport the grain, not to capture Shen Zhiheng alive; this was just an extra operation that the two of them wanted to carry out themselves.

Even if they fail, no one will make things difficult for them when they return to report.

The two abandoned this side and quickly left the camp to join the others.

To be honest, Shen Xingmian was a little puzzled. When she sent her family members into the space, she didn't receive any instructions from her grandfather, otherwise she would have been more careful.

I don't know if he had any other plans, but it just feels very strange that those people were able to get in so easily.

Like a trap.

But if there was a trap, she shouldn't have been completely unaware of it.

It would be even more abnormal if there were no traps!

I've always heard that my grandfather was a great military strategist. Even if he wasn't a genius, he couldn't have been this bad, could he?

That's Chinese New Year!

Just think of it as a perfect opportunity for an enemy attack. If the entire military camp were so easily breached by the enemy, and a few packets of sleeping pills were enough to take out the guards, wouldn't that seem too frivolous?

Shen Xingmian was a little confused for a moment.

She followed the two men, hiding herself well in the space, watching them head towards the granary.

Every single grain of rice in there belongs to her!

Even if she wasn't sweating buckets, it was still quite hard work every day. Digging potatoes wasn't easy for anyone, and if someone stole them, she would be so angry she'd faint.

These people are really despicable.

Fortunately, they didn't set the fire directly, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to hold back and would have killed them on the spot.

Shen Xingmian never expected that the other party would fall into a predicament she had never imagined, because she would just go directly to the granary and throw the things out of her space without needing to put them in sacks.

So the group of people looked at the huge pile of grain and were at a loss.

"Damn it, do you think these guys knew we were coming to steal it? Otherwise, why didn't they even put it in bags? Who leaves their grain like that?"

"Yeah, damn it, is this stick-like thing even edible? We can't exactly carry it all the way to the car, can we?"

"How about we take some tonight and leave? If they don't notice, we can come back tomorrow night?"

"No, returning empty-handed is a small matter if the brothers get scolded, but it's a big deal if we anger the prince and lose our heads."

"This is really worrying, what should we do? We can't just take off our clothes and wrap them up to go back, can we?"

"Bullshit, that person would freeze to death. Quickly search around here. Even if they didn't pack it up, they should at least have some sacks."

Shen Xingmian was a little worried for them. It turned out that it was so difficult for people without a spatial dimension to do anything.

She secretly placed a few burlap sacks in the corner to make things easier for them, hoping they would hurry back with their loot so she could go and rob them.

With her family all in the space, she wasn't acting alone, which made people feel especially safe.

Everyone's been having a great time all night, so they should all be sound asleep by now. Let's not disturb them.

If she were to return to the space, she could actually check everyone's condition, but that feeling of being "spyed on" would make anyone uncomfortable, so she tried her best to avoid it.

It's not convenient to call her grandfather out right now, so she can only keep an eye on things herself for the time being.

The men finally found the sack. They were overjoyed, but they still remembered to keep their voices down as they quickly filled it with grain.

Shen Xingmian found it somewhat amusing.

While they were busy, she decided to go check on the soldiers on night duty nearby. If they had only been drugged, there was still hope.

But if they aren't carried into the tent in time and stay outside, they'll freeze to death.

If someone is killed with a single blow, then there is truly no way to save them, not even a god could save them.

She had to go and see what was going on.

The snow in the military camp had all been cleared away, so there was no way to follow the footprints. Even if there were, with so many footprints back and forth, she couldn't tell where the group of people had come from.

She first went to check the post at the door and saw that someone had indeed fainted there. She checked his breathing and thankfully, he was still breathing.

After the supernatural power was transferred in, the person's eyelids twitched slightly, and they woke up shortly afterward.

Shen Xingmian quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, signaling him to be quiet. She leaned closer and whispered, "There's an enemy attack. I'll deal with it. You continue to pretend to be unconscious. Once they're all gone, we'll take everyone back to Nuannuan as soon as possible."

The man immediately recognized the voice of their goddess, and obediently nodded, tilting his head to the side to continue pretending to be unconscious.

Shen Xingmian estimated that the group wouldn't linger for long; delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances, so a swift victory was necessary. He quickly treated the others who had been drugged and quietly returned to the granary to continue his stakeout.
