Chapter 23 Torrential Rain



Seeing that the other side had a large number of people, Shen Zhijie said to Xiao Mu, "With so many people, we can't get away for a while. Staying in the water all the time isn't a solution!"

Xiao Mu looked at Shen Zhijie and made a gesture.

Shen Zhijie understood and said, "So, how should I address you, elder brother?"

"If you take the kayaks back, how are we supposed to get back?"

The man at the head of the boat replied, "I am Liang Long, the leader of the Xueyuan Alliance, and I do not change my name or surname."

How you get back is your business.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mu slowly sank into the water and began to slowly dive towards Liang Long's inflatable boat.

Once you reach the bottom of the kayak, use a dagger to slash it open in the water.

The incident happened suddenly; the leader, Liang Long, suddenly fell into the water, and the scene became somewhat chaotic.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xiao Mu and his group boarded the inflatable boat and rowed back.

Seeing that the authorities were showing their utmost sincerity, Fenfen grabbed her weapon and went to the rescue.

Sang Ze carried a gun, Jiang Yao carried a halberd, and someone carrying a kitchen knife went to their rescue.

Xiao Mu and the others had already rowed halfway when Liang Long caught up and shouted, "Get everything sorted out and take the supplies home."

Seeing the situation was becoming increasingly dire, Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie pulled out their guns and began to fight back.

Seeing that Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie had guns, the crowd felt emboldened and began to resist.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Jiang Yao exchanged a glance with Sang Ze and quickly swam away.

When Liang Long saw Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie with guns, their eyes were filled with anger and resentment, and they vowed to fight to the death.

Even with guns, they outnumbered Xiao Mu, Shen Zhijie, and the others, making it difficult for them to fight back.

When Jiang Yao and Sang Ze arrived, they coldly said, "Anyone who dares to come up and steal anything will not be able to leave alive."

After they finished speaking, neither of them would give in, and the others who arrived joined the fray.

Jiang Yao, wielding her Hou Dao (a type of sword), blocked the burly man's sneak attack and leaned back to dodge it.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu quickly raised the oar in his hand and struck the strong man's right arm. Jiang Yao then used the opportunity to kill the strong man with a single slash.

Liang Long was no pushover either; he knocked down several people and headed straight for Xiao Mu.

At that moment, Liang Long swung the steel pipe at lightning speed toward Xiao Mu. Xiao Mu dodged and grabbed the steel pipe from Liang Long's hand, while holding the gun in his other hand to his head. With a bang, Liang Long fell into the flood. Seeing their leader killed, the crowd panicked.

Xiao Mu's morale soared, and the team pressed their advantage.

The official team wins this round.

According to official statements, those who participated in suppressing the rebellion received supplies as rewards. Those who were injured received extra rewards, as they risked their lives to bring back the supplies. Those who did not participate, of course, received nothing.

Thanks to the support of the kayak, Cai Lin's family also received a lot of material rewards.

After returning home, Jiang Yao quickly washed up and fell asleep on the bed.

After yesterday's hard work, Xiao Mu and his group are now considered celebrities at the safe haven.

When she had nothing to do, Jiang Yao would hide in her room and sort out the allocated supplies, storing the ones that couldn't be stored away in her spatial storage.

After finishing these preparations, Jiang Yao went to the kitchen, prepared a glass of fresh lemon water for herself, and looking at the ingredients in the room, decided to make spicy crayfish for dinner.

Prepare the ingredients for the spicy crayfish in advance. Next comes the long process of scrubbing the crayfish, especially the abdomen, until the water is no longer cloudy. This step takes a bit of time, but it's worth it for your health!

After cleaning the crayfish, heat oil in a wok, add the crayfish, and stir-fry over high heat until the tails curl. Add the prepared ingredients and seasonings, stir-fry until fragrant... Set a timer and wait for it to be ready.

Arriving next door, I knocked on the door.

Shen Zhijie opened the door and saw Jiang Yao. He stepped aside to make room for her to come in.

Jiang Yao sensed the heavy atmosphere inside the room after entering, so she asked, "Why isn't Xiao Mu here? I never see him going out!"

"I made crayfish, come over to my place for dinner tonight."

Shen Zhijie frowned, his lips pressed tightly together, and he remained silent.

Seeing Shen Zhijie's worried expression, Jiang Yao asked anxiously, "Has something happened to Xiao Mu?" Then she walked towards Xiao Mu's room.

Upon entering Xiao Mu's room, one sees his pale face contorted in pain, with fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead, as if he is enduring immense torment every moment.

Jiang Yao asked, "When did this start?"

"Wasn't everything fine when you came back at night?"

Shen Zhijie leaned against the door, his brows furrowed, and said, "It must have been caused by spending too much time underwater during his fight with Liang Long?"

"But I've participated in rescue operations before, and I've been underwater for much longer than this, and I've never seen him like this before!"

Looking at Xiao Mu's current state, Jiang Yao unconsciously reached out and touched Xiao Mu's forehead.

Xiao Mu felt that he was in a dark space-time, enveloped by an unknown gas, which caused him great pain.

One moment they find themselves in a parallel universe filled with thunder and lightning, where every movement they make is met with a barrage of lightning strikes, causing immense pain.

He felt someone gently touch his forehead just now, and the pain lessened considerably.

Xiao Mu suddenly grabbed the hand that was touching him, as if he didn't want the source of his pain to disappear.

Shen Zhijie: As expected of the boss, you were able to grab Jiang Yao's hand accurately at this moment. Who would believe that you two are not having an affair!

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie felt relieved.

He said, "Jiang Yao, you take care of Xiao Mu first. I'll check on the crayfish for you." Without waiting for Jiang Yao's reply, he quickly turned and left.

As soon as Shen Zhijie opened the door, he saw Jiang Xue preparing to knock.

Jiang Xue saw that Shen Zhijie was practically grinding his teeth as he asked, "Is Xiao Mu here?"
