The noise grew closer, and Zhen Wanwan hid in a secluded spot, carefully observing the situation.
Unfortunately, it was too dark inside the cave, and she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. She hesitated and took a step out.
She would never forget the scene before her eyes. The ground was filthy and messy, and a child was trampled to pieces. He struggled to crawl outside, but was kicked away by a man and crashed into the wall, where he died instantly.
His mother's heart-wrenching screams from not far away were quickly drowned out by the bloodthirsty villagers.
vomit……
Zhen Wanwan couldn't hold back her vomiting. She calmed herself down and tried to find Grandpa Zhen and her two older brothers in the crowd.
Suddenly, near a corner close to the cave entrance, she caught a glimpse of Qu Huaiyuan, who was nervously blocking the villagers who had gone berserk.
Zhen Wanwan estimated the distance between the two and thought she could pull him out of the chaos of war. She shushed Qu Huaiyuan in his direction.
“Brother Qu, Qu Huaiyuan… come over here.” Zhen Wanwan gestured.
Qu Huaiyuan had just chased someone away when he turned around and saw Zhen Wanwan waving at him, which startled him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Why is Lady Zhen here at this time!
He swallowed hard and slowly moved forward with the little figure behind him.
Fortunately, they escaped unharmed and were safely transferred. He collapsed to the ground, his tense nerves temporarily relaxing.
"Brother Qu, where are the others? Where are my father and the others?"
Not only did Grandpa Zhen not see anyone, but even Chief Escort Lin and Chief Fang were nowhere to be found!
"I didn't know where they were. I waited in the cave for a long time but they didn't come in to carry the grain, so I thought I would come out and take a look. I never expected to see these villagers killing each other."
He was the only one in the group who could read, so he was responsible for recording the grain.
"What! They're all gone?"
Zhen Wanwan paced back and forth anxiously. She suddenly remembered the navigation map in her spatial storage, but it was completely unusable!
The Fang family's doctor was already terrified, but Zhen Wanwan kindly persuaded him to go home.
"My father and uncles have not come out."
Suddenly, a childish voice came from behind Qu Huaiyuan.
She looked at the two of them timidly, her eyes filled with fear, but her tone was very firm.
"Niu Niu, what did you see just now?" Zhen Wanwan asked excitedly as she squatted down.
Only Da Niu Niu, who has been present the whole time, knows where the others have gone.
Niu Niu was already terrified by today's scene, and when Zhen Wanwan pressed her for answers, she cried even harder, leaving the two of them at a loss.
"Never mind, children wouldn't know these things anyway."
"Brother Qu, please take Niu Niu to my place quickly." It's still very chaotic outside, and they need to find a safe place.
"And what about you?" Qu Huaiyuan asked urgently.
She already had a plan in mind, and was just waiting for an opportunity to put it into action. She would do her best to save every single person inside.
"I need to find my dad and the others here!"
Qu Huaiyuan looked at Zhen Wanwan solemnly and said with determination, "You take Niu Niu back, I'll wait for them here."
Fearing that Zhen Wanwan wouldn't believe him, he solemnly promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring them all back."
He dared not promise that he would bring them all back safely.
Since we haven't seen them for so long, they're probably in grave danger.
Zhen Wanwan didn't expect that Qu Huaiyuan, who usually seemed so refined, would be so tough, but she was able to play a greater role by staying behind.
“Brother Qu, you’re not just taking Niu Niu there; you also need to gather the villagers from the other caves together, especially Aunt Qu, whose eyesight is poor. You’ll have to put in a lot of effort.”
That's true. She was pregnant and it was already inconvenient for her to exercise a lot, let alone go around looking for people.
Qu Huaiyuan knew perfectly well that it was most appropriate for him to do these things.
But... he was worried about leaving Zhen Wanwan alone here.
"Remember to hide here alone, and whatever you do, don't go out. I'll be back soon!"
The longer it dragged on, the more troublesome things became. Qu Huaiyuan had no choice but to pick up Niu Niu and quickly gather the rest of the villagers near Zhenjia Cave.
The Fang family had arranged for guards to stay in the cave early on, preventing anyone from coming over.
Qu Huaiyuan tried for a long time but couldn't get through. He was so anxious that he was dizzy. It was only after Old Lady Li begged Siqin that he was allowed in.
Only then did Old Lady Li learn that Zhen Wanwan was now alone in the grain cave, and that her husband and son had both disappeared.
The person was so frightened that they fainted on the spot, which saved Qu Huaiyuan the trouble of offering words of comfort.
After entrusting his mother to a family he knew, he ran towards the grain shed without any hesitation.
My dear Zhen, you must wait for me!
After Qu Huaiyuan left, Zhen Wanwan took out the spiked club and anesthetic from her spatial storage.
She had just tested it out; once inside the space, she could teleport about a meter. She planned to use this method to gradually knock out the crazed villagers.
Then use an anesthetic to render them too weak to move.
It was obvious that the method was very effective; she targeted the nearest person and struck first, saving an elderly man.
She skillfully led the people away from the scene, and then went back to rescue others.
She soon discovered that the perpetrators were all middle-aged men, while the victims were mostly elderly people and frail children and women.
A grown man lifted a large rock high, about to smash it down on an elderly man with white hair.
The old man knelt on the ground and pleaded, "San'er, please don't hit me, please don't hit me, I won't steal the grain, please give me a way to live."
The old man's plea only emboldened the man. After hesitating for two seconds, he resolutely threw the stone down: "Father, I have already sent Mother on her way. You should go down and keep her company!"
The light in the old man's eyes went out completely, and he silently awaited the arrival of death.
Seeing this, Zhen Wanwan felt a deep sadness; this guy was a beast.
No! He's worse than an animal.
She skillfully launched a sneak attack; with a single scoop, the man fell to the ground, and she plunged the needle deep into his arm.
You're doomed if I don't stab you!
When Qu Huaiyuan arrived, this was the scene he saw: she was throwing a cylindrical barb at the man, and after he fell to the ground, she used something else to stab his arm.
This fierce appearance was deeply etched in his heart; Zhen Niangzi was truly different from other women.
She's so cool and sexy!
He touched his wildly beating heart, as if something was sprouting within it.
Without a second thought, he rushed over to help. If Zhen Wanwan was hitting or stabbing people, then he would save them.
In no time, thanks to their seamless cooperation, the situation was brought under control.
Zhen Wanwan was so exhausted that she collapsed to the ground and could only instruct Qu Huaiyuan to tie the people up with ropes. Some survivors also came up to help.
