Another territory
When Ye Miaomiao and others ate their dry food and returned to the territory, it was already evening.
The group watched as the bustling crowd at the entrance to the territory, mostly gone, and large patches of blood splattered the ground, a scene reminiscent of a battle. Their newly relaxed moods instantly became alert again. Could it be that a monster had slipped in, a single misstep that would lead to eternal regret?
"There's a monster!"
Suddenly, some people drew their swords, some drew their bows, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
However... when the security guard showed He Feixiang's familiar face behind him...
Everyone silently put away their weapons.
Ye Miaomiao: "..." Why you again? It was you last time.
However, He Feixiang wasn't out to cause trouble this time. Covered in blood, with only a single digit of health remaining, he'd been pursued all the way here. Fortunately, the security in Ye Miaomiao's territory was incredibly effective, otherwise he'd have been killed.
However, those stationed outside the territory suffered an unexpected disaster. Several were seriously injured, and some even fell into a coma. Fortunately, thanks to the presence of the priests, their lives were not in danger.
At this moment, many people were standing behind the fence with their hands folded in a daze. Seeing the main force coming back, some people hurriedly took the opportunity to come out and pack up their belongings for the night, planning to live in the territory permanently in the future.
Looking at He Feixiang again, he had been lying on the ground like a dead dog, motionless for a long time.
"Although you saved me, I won't thank you." He Feixiang said weakly as soon as he saw Ye Miaomiao.
His speech without any gratitude immediately made everyone on the side stare at him in disbelief. How shameless was this guy?
Ye Miaomiao agreed: "You should thank my security guard."
He Feixiang: “…” Here it comes again, that familiar feeling.
Thank her security?
Veins suddenly popped up on his forehead as he recalled the last time Ye Miaomiao insulted him. He suddenly didn't know what to say next.
But Ye Miaomiao didn't give him another chance to speak. Her clear voice was particularly clear in front of the quiet territory gate.
"Security, please lift him up."
"Why are you lifting it up? Throw it away! Throw it as far away as possible. The farther the better. I'll throw this troublesome person away every time I see him from now on!"
Ye Miaomiao not only had no sympathy for the wounded He Feixiang, but was even angry. This man deliberately lured the pursuers to his territory, and the main force was not there.
If there were no security guards, it would have caused more than just minor losses, and she would have immediately felt deeply sorry for herself.
Security Team One immediately grabbed He Feixiang by the collar and pants and lifted him up horizontally. "Wait... wait!" He Feixiang was caught off guard. His 150-pound body was lifted up with ease.
"Wait, wait! You dare abandon me? I have very important news! You must keep me, treat me, and make sure I leave your territory safely!"
Ye Miaomiao: “?” What bad luck.
"What important news? Isn't it just that... your territory was breached?" Ye Miaomiao said slowly: "Throw it away."
"No, no!" Due to his limited view, He Feixiang could only see Ye Miaomiao's legs as she was about to leave. He was extremely terrified and shouted, "I'm telling you, it was someone from another territory who broke into my territory! Don't you want to know which territory it was? You can't abandon me! You're just a little girl, how can you be so cruel!"
He thought he had grasped Ye Miaomiao's thoughts, so he glared at her with his eyes wide open, waiting for her reaction.
Ye·Vicious Heart·Miaomiao: "..."
She met He Feixiang twice every time she left the territory. Sure enough, without the blessing of the territory's luck value, how unlucky would she be?
She said kindly, "I'm giving you a great opportunity to go to another territory! You're so outstanding, and I believe that with your charisma, you'll definitely find a brand new home. Can't you thank me for this? Could it be... that you don't trust yourself?"
"You! You!" He Feixiang was so angry that he almost choked on his saliva.
He was about to speak when someone in the crowd screamed, "You tried to rob us last time, and now you're bringing monsters into our territory! My mother almost lost her life because of you! You're not grateful, and you're threatening our lord! You're truly vicious!"
"Great job, Lord! Throw him away!"
"Throw it away! Throw it away!"
Everyone outside the territory echoed his words, shouting in unison in a coordinated and orderly manner: "Throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away!"
The shouts of hundreds of people were deafening, and for a moment they reflected the will of the people, causing He Feixiang's crazy shouts to disappear in the chorus of the crowd.
Ye Miaomiao shrugged helplessly at He Feixiang, looking helpless.
Security Guard One held him up expressionlessly, no matter how He Feixiang struggled. Finally, his dejected figure gradually disappeared into the dark grassland along with Security Guard One.
"Oh!" the crowd cheered. Someone took advantage of the chaos to shout, "The Lord is so handsome!"
Under the torchlight in front of the village gate, Ye Miaomiao's silver-white armor reflected a cold light. His usually smiling face beneath the armor indeed showed a bit of coldness, and he was indeed extremely handsome.
Ye Miaomiao smiled and said, "Let's all go back and rest."
As the sky darkened, many people folded their hands and prepared to go back to bed. Ye Miaomiao followed the crowd and stood on the watchtower, lost in thought.
After a while, Ye Miaomiao frowned slightly as she watched the territory gradually quiet down. The territory was indeed unlucky, having run into He Feixiang time and time again, but... she stared quietly into the darkness deep within the grassland. What was there, something that no matter how lucky one was, one couldn't avoid it? Another...
I don't know how long it took...
"What are you thinking about?" Fang Yan, who had left, came back at some point. He nimbly climbed up the stairs of the watchtower, holding two cobs of corn. "The team members are hungry. They went to the kitchen, and I brought you some."
Ye Miaomiao shook her head for a moment and said, "I'm thinking...the territory that He Feixiang mentioned attacking his territory should be the one in the system notification, the one that broke away from the Civilization Alliance. I watched the video the security team sent me, and those...are definitely not human."
She pondered, "The divine light has the effect of genetic modification. I suspect those people have used it. It would be better to call them 'God's people' rather than humans. I even have a more terrifying premonition..."
"Does leaving the Civilization Alliance mean they've joined the Non-Human Alliance, just like... the Swamp Territory today? They can speak and think, so could it be that they were... human before? Now, they're standing against humanity..."
This guess was too terrifying to think about, so Ye Miaomiao didn't dare to think about it too deeply.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yan laughed after hearing this.
"So what are you worried about?"
Ye Miaomiao was stunned and didn't react for a long time until Fang Yan drew the sword from her waist.
With a humming sound, the sword at her waist was exposed beneath her slender fingertips, its edge reflecting a sharp light that could cut through iron like mud. It was obvious that whether it was human or animal skin, a slight scratch would cause blood to flow, which was terrifying.
With the sword safely at her waist, Ye Miaomiao suddenly calmed down.
She had seized the Swamp Territory's iron equipment, and all the team members and security personnel would be upgraded to Level 3 equipment. Furthermore, she had also obtained the "iron forge blueprints" that the Swamp Territory hadn't, and the territory was about to take a giant step into the Iron Age.
"God's people" are nothing more than a tribe of monsters from primitive times. In the face of advanced technology, no matter how twisted and mutated they are, they are nothing more than ferocious beasts.
Fang Yan said: "Now, we can protect our territory."
Just as Fang Yan said, although the territory was not safe, the chances of winning were extremely high, so there was no need for her to worry so much.
"Hmm?" Fang Yan handed over the roasted corn again.
The corn was still hot, and the slightly charred skin broke open, revealing the soft and glutinous corn meat inside, emitting a sweet aroma.
Ye Miaomiao's appetite suddenly increased. She took it happily, and a smile finally appeared on her serious little face.
"Let's go back. It's freezing outside."
"Yes,"
As the two of them walked into the territory, Ye Miaomiao suddenly remembered that Fang Yan had called her "Miaomiao" earlier, and couldn't help but ask, "When you were in the cave, did you call me..."
Unexpectedly, this question was like a cat stepping on the mouse's tail. Before Ye Miaomiao finished speaking, Fang Yan froze and said hurriedly: "You called the wrong name."
As soon as Fang Yan finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken too hastily, and a hint of awkwardness filled the air.
Ye Miaomiao hesitated: "I haven't even said it yet, how do you know I called the wrong name?"
Fang Yan: “…” He simply remained silent.
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
Fortunately, the territory was not large, and Ye Miaomiao just suddenly remembered it and asked casually. When she walked two steps to the door of the cabin, she completely put the matter behind her.
"Go back and rest quickly, you still have guard duty tomorrow morning." Ye Miaomiao smiled and raised the corn in her hand: "Thank you."
In the moonlight, there was a kernel of corn on the girl's fair cheek, and she smiled brightly without knowing it.
Fang Yan hummed inaudibly and waited for the door to close in front of him for a long time before turning around and leaving.
......
It was another not-so-peaceful night.
On the fifth day of the disaster, it was sunny.
Ye Miaomiao got up early and opened the door to a gust of cold wind. Even though she was wearing a cotton coat, she still shivered all over and goose bumps immediately appeared on her skin.
"It's so cold! Damn it! It's getting colder!" Someone nearby looked up at the sky and yelled, "It's spring! Open your eyes and see what season it is!"
He turned around while muttering curses and suddenly made eye contact with Ye Miaomiao.
"What the hell is this Lord... Lord?"
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
"S-sorry! It just came out of my mouth!"
He ran away quickly, leaving Ye Miaomiao standing there, feeling both amused and confused, with a lot of questions in her head.
He Feixiang did give Ye Miaomiao a wake-up call last night. She decided to follow the old saying, despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.
The first thing to do is to build the territory into an impenetrable solid base, and this depends on... the lovely Prince Bell.
Bell discovered an underground mineral vein in the base last night and immediately moved in. For the dwarves, the underground is their real home.
Ye Miaomiao first went to the kitchen to get two breakfasts, then turned around the temporary residents' market where the voices were gradually boiling, and walked towards the underground mine.
"Damn it! Damn it!" Before I got close, I heard Bell jumping up and down.
As soon as he saw Ye Miaomiao coming, he immediately shouted: "Damn lord! You actually wasted such a perfect dungeon! You left it here empty! Do you know that this is a shameless waste!"
