Qi Yanxuan, a member of the Gale Squad from the apocalypse, accidentally transmigrated into an ancient apocalyptic escape novel. Amidst a series of natural disasters including drought, blizzards, e...
Qi Yanxuan and his group were walking fast, so they walked much faster than other disaster victims. As they walked, they arrived in the middle of the main group.
Although some people in the large army escaped the storm a few days ago, their food was lost while they were fleeing. Now they looked at Qi Yanxuan and his group with greedy eyes.
Although the 2,000-strong team was dressed in the same shabby clothes, they were all in high spirits and did not look like they had been hungry for a long time. Each family had their carts and backs loaded with food. Compared with these disaster victims with sunken cheeks, they were like heaven and earth.
In the evening, when the sun was about to set, the sky was gradually covered by rosy clouds.
The victims followed their respective teams to choose a place to set up camp. Among them, a team of several hundred people rested next to Qi Yanxuan's team. This team was the one who had been keeping an eye on them all the way.
Qi Yanxuan and the other two had long noticed the malicious looks cast from this team along the way.
Shen Yanshan came to the shed of the village chief's house next door. The village chief was not at home. Only the village chief's wife and Shen Wenxuan were there. When they saw Shen Yanshan coming, they greeted him warmly.
Shen Wenxuan brought a small stool for Shen Yanshan to sit down and rest for a while.
After sitting down, Shen Yanshan asked Shen Wenxuan: "Where is your father? Where did he go?"
Shen Wenxuan: "My father and my brother are out collecting firewood. What do you want to talk to my father about?"
Shen Yanshan nodded and said seriously, "The team next to us has been watching us all the way. When your father comes back, ask him to tell everyone to be careful at night and not to fall asleep."
The village chief's wife clenched her hands nervously, "Yanshan, are you saying those people will come to do something bad at night?"
Shen Yanshan: "Yeah! It's very likely, if not today then tomorrow. Those people have no food, they are all skinny, and you can tell at a glance that they have been hungry for several days."
Shen Wenxuan understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded, "Okay! When my father comes back, I'll go with him to inform everyone."
"Well, I'll go back first then."
After Shen Yanshan finished speaking, he returned to his carriage.
As soon as he entered the carriage, the food was already laid out on the table, waiting for him to come back and eat together. Even the one-year-old Jin'en sat there obediently, staring at the rice porridge in front of him and licking his little mouth.
"Alright! Everyone's here, let's eat!"
Qi Yanxuan handed the spoon to Xiao Jinen and let him eat by himself. The child was very well behaved. He held the spoon and clumsily fed himself with the food. After taking a bite, he smiled sweetly at the three of them, pointed at the food on the table with the spoon, and mumbled "eat".
"Okay! We'll eat, and you eat it yourself."
Shen Yanshan looked at Jin En with a smile, and then the three of them started eating.
After dinner, Shen Yanshan said to the two of them: “I will sleep in the carriage tonight, so you should be careful with the children at night.”
"We understand. Be careful at night and call us if anything happens."
"Don't worry, your father is also a superpower after all. How can I not be able to deal with ordinary people? Go to sleep quickly!"
"Um."
After saying that, Shen Yanqing took the three of them, one big and one small, back to the tent together.
When the village chief came back, he heard his youngest son talk about what Shen Yanshan asked him to pay attention to, and then asked several sons to quietly notify others.
…
The other victims saw that every household in the new team had an umbrella standing next to their shed, with a circle of bamboo tubes hanging next to the umbrella. They didn't know what it was for, but just thought that the new team was bored, so they all went back to rest after taking a look.
The hour of Chou has just passed.
Just when the people were exhausted and the horses were exhausted, the group of victims who had been hungry for a long time put out their own fire and tried to sneak into the shed by bypassing the night watchmen.
But everyone had been informed in advance, and the night watchmen were more alert than usual. When they saw that the people's fires had gone out and that the people over there had disappeared in the faint moonlight, they immediately realized that something was wrong and rang the gong to alert everyone.
Everyone was instantly awakened by the sound of the gong. It was pitch black in the shed and no one could be seen clearly. Every household pulled up their food, groped their way out of the shed, and quickly moved towards the night watch fire. This was what had been agreed upon at the beginning.
Seeing that they had alarmed the other side, the victims stopped being cautious and started to rob food from the families who were far away from the fire in groups of three or five. The families who were closer saw their own people being robbed by the victims, and they quickly gathered together to deal with the hungry victims.
The scene instantly turned into a fight. As long as one family was besieged by the victims, several other nearby families would come forward to help.
It seems like a long time, but in fact it happens in an instant.
When Qi Yanxuan and his companions came out, they saw their team members fighting with the disaster victims. Their team members had to protect the elderly, the weak, women and children, so they were inevitably cautious. The disaster victims were starving and their fighting power should not be underestimated.
Some victims, seeing that the people in the Kaoshan Village team were protecting the elderly, the weak, women and children, simply started attacking those women and children. They were so busy protecting people that they didn't care about food, so the victims grabbed the food and wanted to run away.
How could Qi Yanxuan let those disaster victims steal the food and run away? He quickly condensed a purple lightning ball in his palm and threw it out. The lightning ball spread out in the air, and countless purple arcs of electricity accurately hit the disaster victims who came to steal the food.
Those people fell to the ground and died after screaming. If Qi Yanxuan had not controlled the thunder and lightning and prevented the food from being destroyed, these people would have turned into ashes.
Everyone who saw this scene opened their mouths wide and stood there in a daze, as if they were under a spell, their eyes full of disbelief.
Then someone exclaimed.
"Monster...monster! The monster is killing people! Run!"
The crowd came back to their senses after hearing the scream.
The victims who were watching from other camps also screamed in fear and quickly packed up their things to flee, fearing that if they were a step late they would also be struck to death by lightning.
The two thousand people on Qi Yanxuan's side, especially the villagers of Kaoshan Village, were also shocked by his method, but they didn't believe that he was a monster.
They were not fools and could tell the difference between good and evil. How could Qi Yanxuan be a demon? They stayed with Qi Yanxuan every day and never saw him harm an innocent person. Even if he was a demon, he was still a good demon.
Most people in the world are ignorant. They will flee in fear, not only because they suspect Qi Yanxuan is a demon, but also because they are afraid of his ability to control thunder and lightning.
Soon, only the two thousand people from Qi Yanxuan's team were left in the entire camp.
Qi Yanxuan dared to expose his special abilities, so naturally he was not afraid of being mistaken for a monster. They couldn't catch him anyway. Compared to the trouble, being mistaken for a monster was not a bad thing. At least it would scare and wary people, and they wouldn't dare to have any bad ideas.
But now, none of the people who had followed him all the way ran away. Think about the tens of thousands of people who were scared away, and then look at these people. Aren’t they too careless?
Qi Yanxuan looked at everyone and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
