The survivors of Shangchao Village did not hide outside; they were all crammed into a five-story building in the middle of the village, which Canglang found without much effort.
The village is mostly populated by young, strong men; there are no elderly people, no children, only twelve women, and forty-five men.
The women's expressions were numb, just like the women Lin Yue had seen in the trade building before. Lin Yue frowned.
The survivors in this village are not as easy to get along with as the people in the previous village, and they definitely have "human lives" in their stomachs.
After settling the people in, Cao Kefeng distributed food to them. Those who had come to look for the people were put to good use again at this time.
It was already 11 p.m., and Cao Kefeng decided not to continue the search. The group simply rested in Shangchao.
The car was cramped, so they split into three groups: one group from Shangchao Village, one group from Ganlin Village, and one group that came to search for the missing person. They rested in three adjacent buildings in the middle of the village. The people Cao Kefeng brought were also divided into three groups to guard these people.
After everything was arranged, Cao Kefeng finally had some free time. He sat on the crossbar at the entrance of the house where the survivors of Shangchao Village were settled, and closed his eyes to rest.
Lin Yue walked over, stood next to him, and looked down at him.
It wasn't that she looked down on Cao Kefeng; it was just that she didn't want to sit. After a day of traveling, she didn't really want to sit and just wanted to stand for a bit.
Noticing someone approaching, Cao Kefeng opened his eyes alertly.
"Miss Lin, aren't you resting yet? Are you going out now?" Cao Kefeng remembered what Lin Yue had said and stood up to ask.
Lin Yue lowered her voice and looked at the people from Shangchao Village in the room: "Those people are not as simple and honest as the people from Ganlin Village."
“I know that, although I feel emotionally that these people are not worth saving, I am a soldier and I need to protect every civilian. Without concrete evidence, they are just ordinary people.”
A soldier's duty is to protect the people, and those behind him are just ordinary people now.
Lin Yue's original intention was just to remind Cao Kefeng, and since he understood, she didn't say anything more.
That's how the world is now. Some people can hold onto their principles, while others can't. In order to survive, it seems that doing anything is normal.
As long as it's not a case of physically killing someone... then it doesn't seem like something unforgivable.
"Okay, you understand. I'm going out for a bit to let you know." She was there to say hello as well.
Although it's very late now, she has the spiritual spring water, so she doesn't need to worry about her health at all. It would be even better if she could go to bed early, but if she can't, she can get through it by drinking some water.
Since she came with the team, she naturally had to inform Cao Kefeng before leaving.
Do you need me to come with you?
"No need, I can manage on my own. What time do I leave? I'll be back before I leave." With Cao Kefeng around, she couldn't move freely.
"We'll leave again tomorrow morning when it's light, around seven o'clock." After running all day, everyone's bodies aren't made of iron; they need a good rest.
"Okay, I understand."
After exchanging greetings and confirming the time, Lin Yue drove off with Canglang and Xuelang. Once outside the Shangchao Village area, she dropped the two wolves off in the car and had them lead the way.
She was on the road all day and it wasn't convenient to leave immediately. Although it was dark at night, it didn't affect her vision.
Thanks to her daily consumption of the spiritual spring water, she is now able to see at night.
Or perhaps it wasn't the spiritual spring water that caused it, but rather the benefits that the space itself brought her.
Her goal was to bring two animals out hunting, so they headed straight for the wild boar herd.
Wild boars are generally social animals, but they don't move in large groups. Instead, they are led by a male boar, and a group usually consists of five to twenty boars, or sometimes more. Such groups are mostly family-type wild boar herds.
The quantity wasn't large; she could handle it.
After running for about ten miles, the two wolves stopped, sniffed around in place, and then stood still, turning to look at Lin Yue.
Knowing they had arrived at their destination, Lin Yue got out of the car and put it back into her spatial storage to avoid it getting damaged later.
Without high mountains, everywhere was a flat expanse of ice with no cover whatsoever. Lin Yue couldn't see any wild boars and could only follow the two wolves.
Before long, the two wolves found an ice cave. The cave entrance was large and extended downwards. Some scattered pieces of clothing were laid out at the entrance, seemingly extending downwards along with it.
There don't seem to be any wild boars in the cave now; otherwise, with their keen sense of smell, they would have rushed out long ago if they had detected someone at the entrance.
Lin Yue patted the two wolves' heads and laughed, "You two are no good. There aren't any wild boars in this cave. How are you going to hunt for food?"
There was an empty space; she couldn't just wait there forever. Who knew when the wild boars would return?
She wasn't going to wait any longer and told the two big guys to leave.
The gray wolf and the snow wolf panicked, grabbed her clothes, and dragged her away, preventing her from leaving.
They weren't mistaken; there were definitely wild boars inside.
Seeing how persistent the two were, Lin Yue decided to wait. Since the wild boars weren't home, she used the side-by-side burrows that allowed both of them to pass through as her base, waiting for them to return so she could take them down together.
Just as she was about to tidy up the entrance to the cave, a sound suddenly came from inside.
Lin Yue immediately retreated ten meters away, took out her submachine gun, and became alert.
Before leaving, Cang Yu left all his weapons and equipment to her, only taking the submachine gun she gave him. However, she wasn't used to the ones he left behind; the one she was comfortable using was the one he sent from the space.
She was regretting running out of bullets before, but unexpectedly, they were replenished, and she will be able to replenish them continuously in the future, so she won't have to worry about wasting them.
After waiting for a few minutes with my gun at the ready, the expected large herd of wild boars did not appear. Instead, two piglets emerged from the burrow, barely able to walk, and they looked like they had just been born.
She was puzzled. How could wild boars be so carefree? Putting newborn piglets in their den, weren't they afraid they'd be snatched away by something else?
For example, right now, when the gray wolf and the snow wolf saw the little wild boar, they went straight up and snatched it away—no, they bit it to death. The little wild boar only had time to let out a brief cry.
Perhaps because the environment was too quiet, the little wild boar's sounds were unusually loud. Ten minutes later, a series of "huffing" sounds accompanied by the sound of running came from afar.
They went out together to find food, and they didn't go far. The little cub was killed, and they were determined to find and kill the culprit who harmed the cub.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue and her two wolves, who had been waiting, were excited and simply waited for the wild boar to show itself.
Before long, a group of about fourteen or fifteen wild boars charged over. Lin Yue continued to retreat, leaving the battlefield to the gray wolf and the snow wolf.
She watched from a distance as the two wolves worked together seamlessly, quickly killing four wild boars.
Of course, the battlefield wasn't entirely left to them. She watched from a distance, and whenever any charged at her, she would fire a few bursts of submachine gun fire. Even the toughest hide would be riddled with holes, and the wild boars would fall to the ground, unable to get up.
