Shen Shuli looked at the map and saw that the nearest mountain county was still half a day's journey away.
She was worried whether she could find water in the city.
The riverbed where we were yesterday had already dried up and cracked. One could imagine that there must be a water shortage within a hundred miles around.
If we cannot replenish the water supply, it will take at least seven days to reach the county town next time.
There is a high probability that the few trucks of water in the team will not last for seven days.
"Dad, how about this? You find me a few people and we go ahead to look for water, and you stay here to lead the team." Shen Shuli suggested.
The team moved slowly, and Su Yunhai was anxious because they needed to consume a lot of food and water every day.
If there is no supply, the team will not be able to hold out for long.
"Okay, I'll go find someone."
Soon, Su Yunhai found eight helpers.
...
...
These eight people are all teenagers with nimble legs and although they don't have much strength, their nimble legs and feet are enough.
Those strong men with good skills are needed to escort supplies and cannot be transferred at will.
After all, the team carries a lot of supplies and needs special protection.
Su Yunhai distributed enough water and dry food for each person to last for a day.
The nine men were lightly equipped and quickly distanced themselves from the rest of the team.
Shen Shuli planned to take eight people to Shangang County to check the situation first.
Originally, it would take the team two hours to reach Shangang County, but Shen Shuli and nine others only took one hour to get there.
The price is that the nine people need to drink more water to replenish their energy.
The gate of Shangang County is low, only about ten feet high.
There were many disaster victims gathered in Yamaoka Prefecture.
After passing through Yamaoka County, you will have more options for heading south.
Originally, Shen Shuli was worried that the gates of Shangang County would also be closed early.
All the refugees were turned away.
Unexpectedly.
The city gate was wide open. Not only were there no soldiers guarding the gate, but there were not many victims stranded outside the city wall.
The nine people entered the city smoothly.
But the scene in the city surprised everyone.
Several gangs of rioters were smashing, looting and looting everywhere in the city, and the people in the city had already fled in fear.
The streets in the city were in chaos, and countless people fled in panic to avoid the mob.
The scene in my eyes was like a barbarian invasion, with not a single blade of grass growing.
Shen Shuli just felt depressed.
The actions of these mobs were no different from the brutal and cruel behavior of the barbarians rumored to be there.
If those mobs continue to move southwards, burning, killing and looting with such impunity along the way, will the people along the way still have a chance to escape?
Before Shen Shuli and the others could come to their senses.
A group of mobs targeted them.
"Boss, there are a few people over there carrying water bags. Let's go and rob them. Be careful not to get robbed by others."
A tall and thin man pointed at Shen Shuli and the others excitedly and called out to his companions.
Shen Shuli immediately put everyone on alert and quickly arranged tasks.
"Shen Ziqian, take Li Tao and Li Bo to the right side. Zhang Yongjie, Zhang Shengjie and Chen Xiaofei, the three of you go to the left side."
"Wu Liangliang, Liu Daqiang, the two of you will come with me and use bows and arrows to protect everyone."
"If you want to survive the desertification, you must be able to stand up on your own. This is a good opportunity for you to gain experience."
"You don't have to be afraid, I will support you."
Shen Shuli held a bow and arrow in her hand, exuding a fighting spirit.
The other eight people immediately took out their weapons and found their positions according to Shen Shuli's arrangements.
There were more than thirty people in this mob, several times their number.
Moreover, each of them is a burly man with a fierce look and holds various weapons in his hands.
It’s clear at first glance that this group of thugs have killed many people and are definitely not good people!
Fortunately, these young people have experienced several life-and-death crises and are still calm.
The main reason is that they can overcome the fear in their hearts because of Shen Shuli's support.
Shen Shuli didn't wait for the mob to get close, and shot three arrows at once, killing three of them instantly.
The mob didn't expect that the only beautiful girl in front of them had such superb archery skills, and they became alert instantly.
The leader of the mob saw that his prestige was damaged and ordered an attack with a grim look on his face.
The mob immediately rushed towards Shen Shuli's team with weapons raised.
Seeing that Shen Shuli had already given the signal to attack, Shen Ziqian immediately rushed forward with Li Bo and Li Tao.
Zhang Yongjie, Zhang Shengjie and Chen Xiaofei also immediately launched an attack.
The mob didn't expect that these little idiots were so skilled. In a short while, they killed and injured several of them.
Wu Liangliang and Liu Daqiang were average archery skills, but they were able to hit two or three people, helping Shen Ziqian and the others to eliminate several sneak attackers.
If it weren't for Shen Shuli's accurate shooting, the two main attacking teams wouldn't have been able to kill so smoothly.
Wu Liangliang and Liu Daqiang were protecting everyone while looking for opportunities to retrieve the arrows.
Mobs are newly organized groups that rely on brute force and ruthlessness to form their own forces.
Even with the advantage in numbers, they seemed helpless in front of a strong, skilled, organized and disciplined team.
Shen Ziqian and other members of the two teams did not need to worry about anything else. They just had to charge forward bravely, fight heartily, and become more courageous as the battle went on.
Just a quarter of an hour.
More than thirty rioters fell.
Of course, Shen Ziqian and others did not kill them. They only beat them until they were unable to move.
For people like them, killing people still has some psychological burden.
Shen Shuli was very satisfied with their performance.
He led the team out of the city gate and continued to check the situation inside the city.
There are many mob gangs on the street, and some other gangs also want to target Shen Shuli and others.
But they were lucky enough to see the strength of Shen Shuli and her group, and they were immediately scared and fled.
I walked around several streets in the city.
Shen Shuli and the other nine fought several battles, and their reputation spread unknowingly, and no mob gangs ever planned to attack them again.
The nine people searched for several wells in the city, but all of them were dry.
The wells that did not dry up were filled with mud and it was impossible to pump out drinkable water.
Shen Shuli could only lead everyone to look for a well from house to house.
Finally, two wells that had not yet dried up were found in the south of the city.
"Ari, these two wells that are still flowing water have been occupied by a large number of mobs. What should we do?" Shen Ziqian asked with a frown.
There were two three-courtyard houses nearby with a deep well, and the yard was crowded with people.
The most powerful mob gangs had already occupied the two wells.
If you want to get water, you have to pay a large amount of silver or food in exchange.
The most important thing is that these two gangs of rioters consisted of thousands of people, which was beyond the ability of the nine of them to deal with.
Shen Shuli breathed a sigh of relief instead. As long as the well was still producing water, it meant that the underground water source had not been completely exhausted.
"It's not a big problem. Let's go back and reunite with everyone first. We can think of a solution after everyone enters the city." Shen Shuli said with a relaxed expression.
There is no shortage of food and silver in her space.
But she would not use these things to satisfy the mob.
