At this moment, everyone knew clearly what the consequences would be if they failed to escape.
Tao Yuwei was walking in front and could hear the panic in their hearts.
"Everyone, don't panic. Pay attention to the road you're walking on. Speed up and follow me. Don't fall behind. As long as we hide well in the forest, they won't be able to catch us for a while."
She has her own confidence in saying this.
After being tempered by the cruel environment of the apocalypse, she has her own way of escaping.
She is better at walking along the path of gray grass in the forest.
In this way, the troops tracking them would not be able to quickly discover the route she took.
This can give these people some extra time to escape.
After hearing her calm words of comfort, everyone's panic-stricken mood seemed to have found a backbone, and their hearts became less fearful and more determined.
In this way, Tao Yuwei walked in front to lead the way, the five children and Cui Ming followed behind her, and Liu Tao and Zhang Hu followed at the end.
Under her leadership, everyone shuttled through the mountains and forests, their pace sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Zhang Shanxi, who led a large number of troops to track them, was constantly commanding the people around him to run forward as fast as they could.
"They are just a few weak children. No matter how fast they run, how can they be as fast as the bows and arrows in your hands? This general will lead five thousand of you to chase them. We can easily kill them. You better speed up and kill them all before dawn!"
"It will also allow this general to see your abilities after training."
Zhang Shanxi was carried on the back of a tall soldier and walked through the forest under the protection of a group of heavy soldiers armed with bows and arrows.
After chasing for more than half an hour, Tao Yuwei and the others were chased by Zhang Shanxi's men to a low-lying area.
There is very little shelter in this place, only a few low trees and grass.
At this time, an accident happened.
"Sister, I can't run anymore. I was running too fast downhill just now and I stepped on air and sprained my ankle. Leave me alone and run!"
Among the five children, a little girl about ten years old squatted down with a painful look on her face.
She lowered her head in fear and whispered, "My name is Song Lele. I live in Songjia Hutong in the south of the capital. If you see my parents, please tell them that I can no longer help them with weaving. Please take care of your health."
Tao Yuwei stopped, turned around, and squatted in front of the little girl.
He held her arms and comforted her.
"Don't say anything discouraging. I won't abandon you."
Children of that era matured precociously. She took them on endless escapes through the forest, but no one fell behind out of fear.
No matter how terrified they were, they were gritting their teeth and persevering even though they could no longer move. She would do her utmost to get them away from here safely.
"Benefactor, let me carry her for a while!"
Cui Ming took the initiative to step forward. He knew that Liu Tao and Zhang Hu were both injured, and only he looked better.
"Let me carry this little sister on my back!" Another little boy patted his chest sincerely and stood up.
Others expressed their desire to carry the little girl named Song Lele.
Seeing everyone's hearts united, Tao Yuwei recalled the memory of teaming up with others to kill zombies in the apocalypse.
What a familiar scene this is. Faced with difficulties and dangers, teammates work together, extend a helping hand, and provide assistance to teammates in need without hesitation.
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Cui."
Tao Yuwei expressed her gratitude to Cui Ming.
She would not abandon these children.
Thinking about the children who were forced to stay behind by that fat guy, their ending is chilling.
Just wait for her. When the big villain comes, she will chop off the fat man's hands, cut his tendons, and find a few men to make him live a life worse than death!
Cui Ming bent down and decisively carried Song Lele on his back, and everyone climbed up the opposite slope again.
However, after climbing for a distance, the youngest boy could not climb any further.
The pursuers behind him had already reached the foot of the steep slope.
The other children could no longer run.
The mountain roads in this place are uneven, and there are creeping vines everywhere.
They have been following for so long that they have reached their limit.
"Sister, we really can't run anymore." The other children were climbing the steep slope, panting unsteadily, sweating profusely.
"Haha, I finally caught up with you."
Zhang Shanxi arrogantly jumped down from the soldier carrying him, swaying his fat body as he stood at the bottom of the steep slope. He pointed at Tao Yuwei and the others and shouted, "Quickly, shoot all these little shrimps to death. Don't leave a single one alive!"
I saw a row of soldiers in the lead holding up the torches in their hands and making way. Behind them, many archers lined up in a row, took out arrows and drew their bows, aiming at Tao Yuwei and others who were climbing the steep slope.
"Everyone, run up quickly. Don't let them shoot you."
Tao Yuwei quickly mobilized her mental strength, picked up a huge rock beside her, and smashed it down the steep slope.
At this moment, a rain of arrows flew towards them.
Tao Yuwei mobilized the mental power in her body, forming a long invisible force that swept away the rain of arrows.
By doing this, she consumed her mental strength too quickly, and was unable to withstand such a rain of arrows.
"You idiots, you can't even handle a few young boys. Commando Battalion, listen up! Whoever can shoot these people to death will be rewarded with 500 taels of gold by this general."
