Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 188: Fleeing in Panic

Zhuge Fang also noticed his teacher frowning in deep thought. It was rare to see his teacher with something he couldn’t figure out. Could it be that even with his teacher’s wisdom, he couldn’t see through it?

"Teacher, have you thought of something?"

Mr. Hong didn’t hide it, "Remember the group that came in a few days ago? We didn’t catch them all, there were two people we missed, right? Perhaps it was those two who sneaked in."

Zhuge Fang was astonished. He had sent people everywhere to look for their traces, but unexpectedly those two delivered themselves. The net of heaven leaves no escape. He could finally capture them all without much effort.

Zhuge Fang was intrigued, determined to capture the two, and immediately ordered, "Someone, come here!"

"At your service."

"Gather some more citizens to help with the fire rescue. Our soldiers should be positioned at the front and back gates immediately to guard the city gates. Not a single fly should be allowed to escape."

"Understood!"

"We can no longer be careless. The enemy has at least one master of the Dark Strength. Let’s transfer the Hidden Guard from the City Lord Mansion to guard the gates just in case," Mr. Hong suggested.

Only with a large number of experts can the city gates be guarded, ensuring that they cannot fly away.

Another subordinate was dispatched.

Mr. Hong was still a bit worried. The enemy was well-prepared, and he feared their current forces might not be able to defeat the enemy.

Zhuge Fang, however, snorted coldly, "With just two people, dare to confront my Dark Guard Camp directly?

Wasn’t that Leng Qi guy captured by us before?

Besides, they only have one expert, and they also have a girl to worry about, so when they make a move, they will probably be cautious.

Therefore, these two are not to be feared."

While they were sensing something wrong and arranging personnel to surround Cheng Xiaoxiao,

she was already at the last rescue site, gathering her people.

This was a large canteen near the North Gate.

All the aunts, older women, and elderly ladies caught and made to work in the canteen were here.

This was the canteen for the city guards, providing meals for many people. After being rescued, the women also looted the kitchen.

Seeing the well-preserved dried fish, which were their stockpiles, now mostly eaten by those bad people, they felt a heartache.

While cleaning up, they cursed and grumbled.

Everyone was extremely happy to see Cheng Xiaoxiao.

They knew that this girl was a lucky star, always saving them from danger. Each of them was overwhelmed with emotions, with tears of joy, barely able to express their gratitude.

Cheng Jia excitedly ran to Leng Qi, "Master, Master, I’ve improved again."

Leng Qi didn’t speak but just nodded, patting his little head.

Under the light of the candle, seeing his master’s pale face and the bandage on his body soaked with blood, he said sensibly, "Master, let me rebandage you! Just now, my sister gave me a bottle of topical medicine."

"Alright!" Leng Qi didn’t refuse, perhaps it was the last time he could enjoy the service of his apprentice.

People in the group avoided talking about the few families who had defected to Zhuge Fang.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt there was no need to rescue them, and the others sensibly didn’t ask.

Especially since among the traitors was Cheng Xiaocui’s family. Cheng Xiaocui could be said to be the main culprit of the original owner’s death. Not openly retaliating was already gracious of her.

Now that their family had left the group, it couldn’t be better.

Over here, Old Man Gui was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Cheng to have so many family members and neighbors. It seemed they were all from the same clan!

The people on site were excitedly hugging each other, sharing the joy of surviving the disaster.

It brought tears to his eyes.

Since the men, women, and children of Qingshan Village all had some martial arts skills, and the guards at the North Gate were weak, after discussing, they decided to attack directly.

As expected, among the twenty guards at the gate, Leng Qi quickly took down seven or eight. The remaining ones were no match for those fierce women, facing these terrifying women, the guards felt their legs turn to jelly, and their hands holding the knives trembled. These women were so frightening, it seemed like they wanted to drink their blood and eat their flesh.

During these days, the women had suffered greatly, how could they not hate?

Each one gritted their teeth, swearing to get some payback for their lost loved ones and the hardships they had endured.

They even didn’t spare those who knelt and begged for mercy, taking care of all together.

"What nonsense, when I begged on my knees back then, why didn’t you show some mercy."

"My old man didn’t even resist, but you still killed him, damn you, you bastards."

"You wretched bastard, even a good man like Third Uncle Gong couldn’t escape your hands."

"Beasts, my grandfather was at least the Clan Leader, yet you made the old man bark like a dog. I’ll beat you to death, I’ll beat you to death." Cheng Xiaocao vented fully, even though the soldier in front of her was already dead.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked up, now these women, crazy and fierce, had all broken down at this moment, swearing to vent their anger, despair, pain, and cowardice all out.

Old Man Gui was frightened, hiding behind Cheng Jia.

Oh my goodness!

The women from Cheng’s clan were too fierce.

When they went crazy, they didn’t even spare the corpses.

It shattered his worldview; even though he had seen a lot of killings along the way while fleeing famine, he was still so scared his heart trembled.

Old Man Gui pondered whether he should follow Cheng’s lead. It was too scary.

If he offended these women one day, would he end up the same way...

After everyone had vented their anger, it only took a few minutes as the women had limited energy and soon tired from the fight.

They panted hard, supporting themselves on their knees.

Cheng Xiaoxiao waved her little hand, "Seize the supplies and retreat!"

Old Man Gui heard this familiar command tone, a jolt made him come back to his senses.

Sure enough, he saw a group of people, ignoring how tragically the soldiers had died, stripping them bare, some leaving even without their outer clothes and pants.

He twitched his mouth, were these really women?

Without having time to distribute the spoils, they directly opened the city gates and prepared to flee.

Those prisoners who had managed to escape also came to gather.

Initially, everyone was startled, but upon learning it was all arranged by Cheng Xiaoxiao, they all exited the city together.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s only concern was, there was still no news of her second brother.

Cheng Jia and Cheng Ran also said they hadn’t seen their second brother in the military base.

Logically, she had been walking all over the city tonight and should have scanned all the possible areas, but still no trace.

Now she couldn’t spare time to find her second brother’s whereabouts, she still needed to lead the villagers of Qingshan Village to leave as soon as possible.

Just because they left the city gate didn’t mean they were safe.

In the big kitchen, they looted all the grains, acquiring two mules and one ox cart. Plus, with the two horses Cheng Xiaoxiao had captured, they made a few simple carriage frames with wheelbarrows found in the kitchen, fashioning a makeshift carriage.

The five carriage frames, besides stacking the grains, barely managed to squeeze in these people.

After all, only over 20 women and Cheng Xiaoxiao’s family were rescued now.

Most of the village’s labor force was in the training base.
