Chang Le calmed himself down, observed the surrounding battle, bypassed the hotly contested areas, and used the buildings he could identify to determine his location and direction.
She couldn't be sure whether this was a scene simulated by the Mystic Realm or if there was some kind of magical power within the Mystic Realm that had transported them back more than three hundred years.
Safety must be ensured first. Ideally, we should find Gu Yujing and Qin Xian, and then confirm the current situation.
Chang Le walked to a place far away from the center of the battlefield.
This extraterrestrial invasion has resulted in more than thirty concentrated landing sites worldwide, with Hua'an City being one of them. The entrances to the landing are concentrated in an area with a diameter of 10 kilometers in the north of the city.
The government forces used their defensive fortifications to trap the main force of the descending aliens in the area, but some aliens still managed to scatter and wreak havoc.
"Help, help me..."
A weak voice reached Chang Le's ears. He turned around and found a young woman huddled under the ruins.
She was injured, her head was covered in blood, and she was weakly calling for help.
"Hiss..." Chang Le gasped and closed his eyes in pain.
She now faces a century-old dilemma: to save or not to save.
"Right, you know, I know, I'm just damn soft-hearted!" Chang Le cursed himself, ran over and moved the things off her, and softly called to her:
"Hey! Madam, hello! Hold on! I'll get you out!"
The woman was still conscious and heard her voice calling for help again.
Chang Le did a quick check and found that she had many cuts and bruises, but none of them were serious. The most serious one was on her head.
After observing the surroundings, Chang Le took out some hemostatic medicine and gauze to treat the wound on her head—of course, it wasn't one of the 20 pills that Chang Feng had prepared for her; they were too precious, and Chang Le couldn't bear to use them to treat the wound.
Save money where you can.
"I'll take you to a slightly safer place."
Chang Le helped the woman up, and while doing so, he checked her entire body to make sure she didn't have any guns, knives, bombs, or anything like that. He also planted a Devouring Seed as a precaution.
"Thank you, thank you..." The woman couldn't help but shed tears, choking back sobs as she repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
"Save your energy, don't talk." Chang Le picked the person up and carried them towards the south of the city.
According to the information I've read, this invasion was concentrated in the north of the city, while the people of the old regime in the Central Plains were temporarily settled in the south of the city and the capital city.
"Um?"
As Chang Le approached the south of the city, he sensed a group of people in the distance, about a kilometer away, numbering around 30. Their energy fluctuations were very strong, and there should be one person among them who had reached the ninth level of cultivation!
Chang Le looked around and saw a house that was mostly destroyed. He carried the person inside.
She put the woman on the ground, wary of the approaching group.
Fortunately, these people did not approach the dilapidated house, but instead drove several armored vehicles straight to the north of the city.
Judging from their clothing, Chang Le thought they were government troops from the old regime in the Central Plains.
She guessed it might be support forces.
"Cough cough cough..." The woman coughed a few times and woke up with a groan.
Chang Le sat down opposite her, holding a straight knife she had taken out at an angle to her chest. Seeing the woman look over, she raised her chin and asked, "You're awake?"
The woman then saw clearly who had saved her, and her face showed undisguised surprise—it was such a young girl.
"Thank you for saving me, thank you so much," the woman said hurriedly, her voice weak from blood loss.
"Why are you in the north of the city when you have no fighting ability?" Chang Le asked.
The woman said bitterly, "I am from the Nine Cities of the Northern Frontier. After the Nine Cities fell, I fled here to find my relatives. I never expected to encounter such a terrible invasion as soon as I arrived."
"Looking for relatives?" Chang Le's tone was slightly cold. "You're probably just trying to fool me because I'm young! These days, everyone's busy escaping for their lives. There are probably more dead relatives than alive. Who would come to Hua'an City, the most troublesome city, to look for relatives?"
"No, no, young lady, I'm not lying to you," the woman hurriedly waved her hands and explained.
“I really do know someone here. He… his family has some influence, so he’ll definitely be fine. I… I just wanted to seek his protection. I… I…”
The woman bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her hand to her abdomen, choking back tears: "I'm pregnant, I'm carrying his child."
Chang Le was taken aback. Upon closer inspection, the woman's excellent figure did indeed show a slightly protruding abdomen.
But if she doesn't say it, people will think it's a small belly.
"Give me your hand." Chang Le wanted to make sure she wasn't lying.
The woman hesitated before reaching out her hand.
Chang Le grasped her wrist, and with a wisp of his [Inhale and Exhale] energy, he indeed sensed another life within the woman's body.
"Um?"
Chang Le's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She herself didn't understand what was going on, and withdrew her superpowers first.
"So, you're going to the south of the city?" Chang Le asked.
The woman nodded.
Chang Le said, "You said he has power and influence and can protect you. Okay, let's make a deal. I also need to go to the south of the city to find a safe place. You definitely can't get there by yourself, so I can take you there, but you have to let me stay in the south of the city as well."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to lie to you. I'm pregnant out of wedlock and we're not legally married yet. I'm not sure if he's willing at this point, but I'll do my best, okay? I swear!"
Chang Le suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can you tell me... what's the name of your scumbag boyfriend who got you pregnant?"
During the sixty years from 032 to 090 of the Cataclysmic Era, when the old regime in the Central Plains collapsed and the new regimes took place, only a few families with blood ties to the Age of Gods could be considered powerful.
