Chapter 152: Fleeing in All Directions
Shen Jufeng observed her expression carefully, "It's an interesting phenomenon, right?"
Lu Jiu stared at him for a moment before slowly nodding, "It's really interesting. I'll get used to it."
She said seriously, "If I can't be a city lord who is not stained with blood, then I will be a city lord that the evildoers fear."
Snowflakes were flying, and the cold wind was blowing past, carrying her words away into the distance.
Only Li Aoting was left in Yao Bingan's house, and both of them were shocked by this incident.
She rubbed her forehead and said to Li Aoting, "The deputy captain who contacted us is planning to come here. The other residents have scattered and no one knows where they will go."
"Are they the only ones? Fortunately, it's winter now. They've come a long way from Xuantian City, so I don't think many people will follow them."
At least in that chaos, the deputy captain and other team members tried to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible, and told them the details of what happened as soon as possible.
Basically, it's much better than those people in the Red Wolf Team who started this chaos.
"He said that only some ordinary residents followed them, and no professionals. This was because coming to Jinjiang District was obviously farther away than going to other city-states, and now everyone just wanted to find a place to stay quickly."
"It's okay for ordinary residents, but now everyone has a loudspeaker, and I'm worried about what kind of trouble this might cause if it gets out."
Yao Bing'an understood her concerns, which were shared by everyone who knew about this matter. "This matter will definitely get out. Moving in such a harsh winter season, and with so many people around, anyone would ask about it."
Even if these people keep their mouths shut for the time being, there's no telling what will happen in the future.
Li Aoting sighed deeply. "This is inevitable. Since the game world is set up this way, if He Ange doesn't die today, someone else will die in the future. There are many people who get lost in power, and there will always be someone who will step into the fire pit."
There is no doubt that He Ange's death was not unjust.
Yao Bingan felt a little tired. "I'm just a little confused, but I understand that people have to adapt to the environment."
No matter how bad the situation is, life must go on.

The residents of Longjiao City all scattered, and most of the ordinary residents took enough supplies for themselves and left in a hurry.
The professional residents were more confident and gathered around frantically collecting supplies. Even if some of the items were of poor quality, they were still pieces of equipment and someone would be willing to buy them.
Sun Ming took the team away early. Before leaving, he saw that the light spot had disappeared and almost broke his teeth.
After all the effort, I still haven't gotten what I want most.
The mountains of supplies were harvested in a very short time, and the city-state where Longjiao City was originally located has turned into a plain. As for what it will become in the future, no one knows.
They won't be coming back anyway.
The deputy captain and others left at the beginning, and the group continued on their way through the wind and snow.
Many ordinary people who had bought supplies from the deputy captain before followed them, as they were worried about other people.
The deputy captain was at the front. It was pitch black all around him. The wind was so strong outside that he could only grope his way ahead. When he felt the distance was almost there, he turned back and shouted, "Let's stop for now, set up tent and rest, and continue tomorrow."
It took them more than two hours to leave Longjiao City.
Everyone relieved their stress and finally had a break.
After the tent was set up, everyone stayed inside the tent and roasted the fire. They were too lazy to even cook and just ate some rice balls.
"Deputy Captain, how many days will it take us to travel like this?" someone in the team asked.
He thought about the current snowstorm and the fact that they were walking. "It'll probably take three or four days, or even longer. This kind of weather isn't good for riding a bike, and walking isn't fast either."
Those who heard this felt a little depressed.
The deputy captain continued, "If you encounter wild monsters, ordinary people can gather together. The large number of people will form a cohesive force. We may not be able to take care of you all at the same time."
This is the wilderness, and everyone has experienced wandering days without a city-state to live in since the beginning of the apocalypse.
"We understand this, and when we left, we all took some potions to replenish our qi and blood."
The deputy captain nodded. It was good to know that he could take life-saving medicine. Even in times of crisis, he could take medicine to save his life.
After discussing some more precautions, everyone returned to their respective tents to rest, and the professional players took turns to keep watch throughout the night.
After everyone left, the deputy captain sat down next to his family and took out some medicine bottles, as well as a few small bottles containing pills.
These were all bought by him and Yao Bing'an.
"Put these potions away. If wild monsters come, keep them in your hands and be ready to drink them at any time."
I used to give medicine to my family, but the medicine sold in Xuantian City is more effective.
He handed a few pills to a few people, "Take one of these pills per person. No matter what, you must ensure that your Qi and Blood are above 30%."
The old couple put away the potion and then asked with a worried tone, "How much potion do you have?"
The deputy captain knew his parents were worried about him, "Don't worry, I've definitely left enough. I have to live well for you too."
He is the only professional gamer in his family. If he dies, his family’s safety during the relocation will be in jeopardy.
Finally, the family sat together, and the deputy captain held his family's hands tightly. No supplies or equipment could compare to having family members around.

The snow stopped today. When Lu Jiu opened the curtains, he saw the gentle sunlight shining on the snow.
After digesting the information she learned yesterday overnight, she is now in much better spirits.
She quickly put on her clothes. Fortunately, the snow had stopped and the sun was out, which made it much more convenient for them to go out and clear the fields. She always wore goggles, which were waterproof and fog-proof, but it was better not to wear them.
Zhuang Yun prepared lunch for his daughter and went out.
After learning that He Ange was killed yesterday, he put most of his good equipment at home overnight after coaxing his daughter to sleep. He used to think it was safest to carry it with him, but now it is probably not the case.
When I went out, I saw Lu Jiu with rosy and plump cheeks. The words of comfort I wanted to say got stuck in my throat and finally turned into a "good morning".
"Good morning." Lu Jiu greeted him with a smile.
When Shen Jufeng opened the door, he saw his two teammates waiting at the door. Although the snow had stopped, he was wearing thicker clothes than before.
Seeing his tall figure obscured by the thick down jacket, Lu Jiu was a little surprised. "Before, the wind was so strong and the snow was so heavy, but I didn't see you wearing a down jacket. What's wrong with you today?"
Shen Jufeng simply adjusted his collar and glanced at her, "Haven't you heard that it's colder when the snow stops than when it snows?"
Lu Jiu decided not to say more to him.
They got up quite early today. After going downstairs, they saw some people setting up stalls. They wondered if the snow stopped in the middle of the night. The snow on the street was not as thick as in the past few days.
Because the weather has improved, more teams have come out to clear the wilderness than before.
They also met Yao Bing'an and others. Everyone nodded and greeted each other tacitly, as if they had forgotten what they had talked about yesterday.
