"How could there be no resistance? The first time they resisted, Wolf and his gang pretended to back down, then turned around and killed the entire families of the ringleaders. The second time, Wolf somehow got hold of a pistol and fired two shots at the ringleaders, after which they scattered and haven't dared to resist since."

Hearing this, everyone was incredibly relieved. Fortunately, they had defeated them all at once this time. If each village had fought them separately, their fate would have been much worse.

They tied several people up with ropes and threw them outside to fend for themselves.

"Brothers, I've told you everything, can you please let me go? I really haven't done anything wrong. Since joining them, I've only been guarding the supplies here."

"Yes, us too, please let us go." Even the bald guy and his gang shouted along.

Si Cheng mentioned Xiao Yu and asked him to lead everyone to check the storage location of the supplies.

Xiaoyu led everyone to a series of icebergs. "Everything is inside. Back then, Brother Wolf divided everything into many portions. Each iceberg contains everything. This serves both to prevent theft and to keep things fresh. When you need something, you can just break open one of the portions."

Looking at the thick layer of ice in front of them, it's no wonder these people can leisurely play cards and drink in their houses. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to secretly break through it.

There were probably around 500 people who came this time, but no matter how capable they were, they couldn't move that many people.

"Take as much as you can, and leave the rest for the people in town," Village Chief Ma said to everyone. At this point, he stopped talking about taking double the amount. With so many supplies, it was already quite good if everyone could take some back. Any more greed would be outrageous. We also had to leave a way for the people in town to survive.

No one had any objections, except for the people from those few villages who felt they had been taken advantage of. But since they had fewer people, they could only do their best to take as much as they could back with them.

Someone stepped forward and tapped the ice a few times with a tool, but the stiff ice even bounced the tool off.

Now, how to open it is a problem, and everyone can't help but turn their attention to Si Cheng: "Brother Cheng, we'll have to trouble you again this time. You can choose first after it's opened."

The man who spoke was a leader from the next village. He was older than Si Cheng, but after seeing the strength Si Cheng had shown in the past few days, he started calling him "Brother Cheng" like the younger villagers.

Nowadays, everyone values ​​strength, and many people address each other that way. At first, Si Cheng felt that this was not good and asked them to call him by his name, but everyone has their own principles, and they gradually got used to it.

"No need for that, we can just choose together with everyone." After saying that, he took out his special ice-breaking tool from the edge of the bag and started working.

"Your name is Xiaoyu, right? You don't seem like a bad person, so why did you join them?" Seeing that they couldn't help much right now, Yun Tao and the others started asking the young man named Xiaoyu.

“I had no choice. My hometown is in the next city, but because my parents work here, we settled here. Who knew that when the earthquake struck, when we were taking refuge in the square, a high-voltage power line suddenly fell down, killing many people, including my parents.” Xiaoyu’s eyes reddened as he said this. He looked up at the sky for a moment, then wiped away his tears. “I found a place to bury my parents. I have no relatives here. I’ve been struggling alone in the county town, living a muddled life. Later, when Wolf and his gang took control of the town, life became even harder. To survive, I had no choice but to shamelessly follow Brother Bin, so I guarded their supplies to make ends meet. Brother Bin is that bald guy from earlier; he’s Wolf’s distant cousin. We’ve never hurt anyone. Even though we joined this gang, we still have our principles. If it weren’t for Brother Bin’s connection to Wolf, we would have been kicked out long ago.”

"What about the other group of people who were keeping watch on the main road?"

"They are with us too. We take turns going every few days. In a few days, it will be our turn."

"Do you know where the people in town live?"

Little Fish nodded: "I know that. I'll take you there then. They should be running out of food soon too."

At this point, Xiaoyu pleaded again, "Brothers, we're really not bad people. We sometimes secretly give them some food, but we don't dare give them too much. After all, food is limited, and if Wolf Brother finds out we give them too much, we'll be in big trouble. Could you please plead for us and let us go?"

“If you haven’t done anything wrong, we will definitely let you go.”

At this moment, Sicheng opened the first 'mountain', and people from several villages rushed up to choose the items they wanted.

"This is amazing! Last time, it took Wolf and his team a whole day to open it. I didn't expect you guys to be so powerful. It's no wonder Wolf lost to you."

"That's right, with Brother Cheng here, these things are a piece of cake."

Si Cheng walked over at this moment. "Xiao Yu, right? Wait a moment, take them to inform the people in town, and tell them to come over later and move this back."

Without waiting for his reply, she continued breaking the ice on the second mountain.

Little Fish led the monkeys to the town's survivors' settlement. Upon seeing their arrival, the people became very alert and took out various sticks for defense.

"Everyone, I'm Little Fish, the one who guards the house over there. You should still recognize me, right?"

"What are you doing here? We have nothing left. Don't push us too far, or we'll all die together."

"So what if we know each other? So what if we don't?"

"They wouldn't think of us now that they're here, would they? They wouldn't want us to do hard labor."

Little Fish quickly turned around and showed everyone that she had tied her hands together, saying, "Look everyone! We really didn't mean any harm."

"What, are you starting to play the victim now? We're not falling for that."

Upon seeing this, Yun Tao quickly explained to everyone, "Here's what happened: these bandits came to our village earlier, but several villages worked together to wipe them out, so it's relatively safe now."

"real?"

"It's true. Everyone can come with us to the town center to get supplies."

Seeing that people were still not quite convinced, the few who came all said that they were from which village.

"Let's all go and take a look. How much worse can it get? Anyway, we're all just wasting our lives now," some people said pessimistically.
