Mingmei also subconsciously lowered her head and frowned slightly. At present, the Chu Rong army was stationed outside the capital of Hualiang. The two sides had not officially started fighting, but the soldiers smelled so strongly of blood that it was as if they had just killed someone and returned from somewhere.

She could hear the Chu Rong soldiers talking in their dialect, accompanied by their rough laughter, and some of their conversation gradually drifted into her ears.

The vague mention of words like "village massacre" and "sweep" made Mingmei feel uneasy from the bottom of her heart.

Because of the commotion outside, Bai Xiao, who had overheard the conversation of the Chu Rong soldiers outside by peeking through a corner of the tent, also instantly had tears in her eyes.

"Bai Xiao, what's wrong?"

Having missed her lunchbox, Lu Xiaoyao noticed the other person's extremely unpleasant expression after eavesdropping, and couldn't help but ask what they had heard.

"They...they slaughtered people in the nearby villages, saying...it was just practice."

As she finished speaking, Bai Xiao felt as if she was about to grind her teeth to powder. She suddenly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as these events triggered other memories.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoyao quickly reached out and grabbed her hand. Without saying anything to comfort her, she simply said, "Keep going, we must succeed tonight!"

"Um."

Watching the two women encouraging each other in the live stream, Mingmei had already returned to her small tent to rest. The comments section was filled with criticism of the Chu Rong army's behavior in the "Assassin Emperor" storyline!

[Damn! They're all human! How could they do that?!]

My home is in a peripheral star system... My grandfather told me it was like this when we were fighting the Zerg...

The Zerg are doomed!

【Zerg! Must die! 】

[Go, girl! Take down the tyrant!]

A group of people couldn't help but connect Chu Rong's brutality with the Zerg. This connection amplified the effect instantly, and everyone felt an intense hatred for Chu Rong's army's actions. They all wished Lu Xiaoyao and her team success that night.

However, having just witnessed two of the five players being caught, Mingmei was at a loss for words.

Mingmei shook her head slightly as she watched the live stream. But when she opened the food box she had just brought back, she was dumbfounded.

"Huh? Where's the lunchbox?"
