"Brother Cheng, these people are too arrogant. They besieged our village before, and now they're attacking the city." Yun Jianying was still a little dazed after such a fierce battle.

Si Cheng said, "These people are simply desperados. They've already committed so many atrocities. If we fail to capture them this time, who knows how many more people will suffer."

Si Cheng was also annoyed that he hadn't been able to stop Dong Ge and the others this time. If he had acted faster, he might not have let them escape.

This time, many of them were wiped out, but given their ruthlessness, they will soon regroup into a large gang and wreak havoc everywhere, becoming increasingly vicious.

Although they were chatting idly, they were always keeping an eye on Yun Zhixin's situation. They saw that he was in so much pain that beads of sweat were falling down his body like rain, making it hard to tell whether they were tears or sweat.

Even the men holding him down were sweating profusely from the tension and effort.

Seeing this, Yun Jianying was the first to speak up, "Uncle Zhixin, how about we use some anesthetic?"

In his view, even if those anesthetics were only intended for animals, using a tiny amount when the animal could no longer tolerate it shouldn't have a significant impact.

Yun Zhixin shook his head, enduring the pain. Since he had already endured it for so long, how could he give up now? Moreover, he couldn't go back on his word in front of so many of his juniors, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it.

At that moment, he felt that every minute and every second was particularly difficult to endure, and he even felt that his heartbeat was particularly slow.

He could hear the slicing sound of the scalpel cutting into his flesh.

Several times he couldn't help but want to ask for anesthesia, even just a little to relieve the pain, but he endured it, relying on his willpower to get through each second.

Feeling the cold pincers twisting and pulling inside his body, he felt like he was about to break his teeth.

"It's out." These words sounded like heavenly music, making his whole body go limp, and his tense muscles instantly relaxed.

The subsequent stitching and medication were nothing compared to the previous pain; he felt that his arm was already numb from the pain even without anesthesia.

Sensing that he had stopped struggling, the people pressing down on him loosened their grip, making Yun Zhixin feel that he could breathe easily again.

"Finally finished," everyone who had been watching breathed a sigh of relief as the military doctor finished stitching the last stitch and applied the prepared disinfectant.

"He's a real man." The medic finished his work and praised him as he tidied up. "From now on, just make sure to rest and try to avoid touching the wound."

After saying that, he turned and walked toward the next wounded soldier, not even giving Si Cheng and the others a time to thank him. They were destined not to stay and rest today.

Yun Zhixin relaxed and quickly fell into a coma. No one dared to disturb him and let him rest properly.

"Since everything's alright here, leave two people here to keep watch, and the rest of you can go out and help out!" Si Cheng knew it wasn't a good day to leave, so he decided to go out and lend a hand.

No one objected to his suggestion. It didn't make sense for so many people to crowd here. It would be better to go out and find something to do than to watch the wounded being treated.

But once outside, seeing the corpses being carried away gave these unsophisticated villagers goosebumps.

Some people even silently counted the number of corpses carried along the way, and the more they counted, the more chilled they became.

"If our village hadn't been alert back then, would we have ended up like this?" Sun Shaofeng felt particularly scared at this moment, always feeling that Brother Dong had already slaughtered them all that time, and that what he was seeing now was just an illusion.

“It certainly won’t be any better. You’ve forgotten about those ‘digital villages’ before. Those were just names given to the people who stayed behind to live there. There are countless other villages like Yaojia Village that were wiped out.” Yun Jianying also felt incredibly lucky that his village had escaped this calamity.

Si Cheng looked at them thoughtfully, wondering if Pinghe Village would have lived peacefully like it does now in his previous life.

His and Yunqi's rebirth has changed a lot, and every single thing in it is inseparable from their influence.

If Pinghe Village were to become like Dong Ge and his group in this life, it might very well become a numbered village or an abandoned village.

At this moment, he deeply regretted not having chased after them without hesitation back then; now he might have let go of his enemy from his past life.

Thinking that so many familiar faces might have met with misfortune in their past lives, he couldn't help but clench his hands tightly.

"Village Chief Si, thank you so much this time." Leader Kuang came over to greet them as they walked by.

This time, he witnessed firsthand how formidable Village Chief Si was, and he became even more polite to him.

"That's to be expected, and we just happened to run into them, so we couldn't just ignore it. It's just that we couldn't stop them and they got away." Si Cheng still felt that they needed the help of the military to find them.

Leader Kuang said, "The other party was too cunning. They ran away as soon as they saw something was wrong, and no one expected that they would leave a way out. But we will catch them sooner or later. We will remember this debt."

As he said this, Leader Kuang gritted his teeth, because the riots launched by these people had caught them off guard, and the losses this time were too great.

The families of the fallen soldiers are still trying to find a way to comfort them, while other families are already pulling their children along, urging them to leave the military.

Innocent civilians who were implicated also gathered together, demanding an explanation, but no solution has been found yet.

Si Cheng said, "We'll probably be here for the next few days. If you need any help, just let us know, and we'll do our best to help."

Leader Kuang understood the other party's good intentions, and in such turbulent times, having such a capable person here to guard the area made him feel at least a little more secure.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but extend an invitation, "I wonder if Village Chief Si would like to move to a different place? If you're interested, you can join us. I'm planning to build a survival base here and manage the security of this area."

Yun Jianying and Sun Shaofeng, standing to the side, nervously took a small step forward, afraid that Brother Cheng would agree to his request.

Si Cheng didn't expect that the survival base, which was supposed to be established in two or three years, would be set up at this time. "I am more suited to a life of family life, but if you have any needs, we will do our best to cooperate."

Leader Kuang didn't expect him to refuse. "We will definitely provide housing and essential living supplies, and we can also distribute the rightful share according to contributions. In the future, all the benefits will be gradually standardized."
