The Cannon Fodder in the Global Apocalypse Game lives a leisurely life-Chapter 388: Returning (12)

"These youths! Why can’t they settle the problem in a non-violent manner?"

Junjie listened to Auntie Hui’s complaint and remained silent after he didn’t detect any panic in that golden-haired elf and that pixie.

To eyes of the crowd, four against one was very unfair. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

They couldn’t help but be nervous for Chunhua’s sake as they saw the four all attack at once. They wanted Elga’s group to intervene and stop the fight to prevent someone get hurt, but instead of getting antsy, these people actually chose to take out food and started to eat!

Hey! One of your members will get likely killed, why are you not doing anything?!

Are they crazy?!

As the four’s attacks reached Chunhua, those who can’t bear to witness a person’s blood being spilled either cover their eyes or turn their gaze away, letting them missed the most important part.

When they returned their gazes, they thought they will see Chunhua badly burned, wounded and on the brink of death, but she was actually unharmed without a single scratch and the ones lying on the ground were the four youths earlier.

Chunhua didn’t kill them, but they were knocked out unconscious and received her chicken curses.

The crowd of refugees looked at Chunhua approaching the Salted Fishes. The look of astonishment and bafflement still didn’t erase from their faces. The battle had ended so fast that those who witnessed it was similarly clueless and didn’t know what happen exactly.

All they saw was Chunhua’s figure vanishing from the spot and appeared behind the four after a second. The four on the other hand froze and just dropped on the ground.

"Landowner, you should have beaten them more badly. I can clearly sense that they wanted to kill you." Bai Susu said.

The four littles also agreed!

So the Salted Fishes finally had a gist why the landowner didn’t accept those people.

The crowd heard what Bai Susu said!

Landowner?!

She’s the landowner? And not the man with the same clothes as her?!

The crowd was dumfounded and even Junjie was startled.

It never came to their mind that out of all the able-bodied men among the Salted Fishes, Chunhua a delicate looking young slim woman was the landowner!

No wonder these people didn’t stop Chunhua and even respected her order!

She was the landowner along!

That means she had the absolute right to reject refugees. Those who wanted to speak earlier to defend Xicheng’s group was very glad they didn’t say a thing.

"Are you alright?" Haoran asked as his eyes search for any signs of scratches.

The Salted Fishes tacitly walked away and gave the two a private time. Xiang’er was quite envious but not in a bad way. She just wished she would also meet someone like Haoran.

"I’m alright. By the way, A’Ran, where did you get the mutton, beef and poultry?" Chunhua remembered the skewers.

"It’s from my Brother. If it’s alright with you, Zurui actually wanted to trade." Haoran spoke albeit, he was relieved that Xiao Hua didn’t ignore after what he said during Qixi. He was very nervous because of it.

"No problem. Now that our population had increased, it would be good to get suppliers on our side. If your Brother wished something that he wanted, tell me. By the way, for the muttons, beef, and poultry he gave to you, what does he asked. I have many blueprints, gears, and skills!"

"I already paid for it. The next time, I let you know." Haoran said.

Chunhua wanted to replace the ones Haoran had given but Siri had something important to tell here.

"Master, I have something else to show you before we go."

"Go on." Haoran nodded.

Chunhua followed Siri to another cabin where the prisoners were kept.

"They attempted to rob us yesterday but ended up getting trashed by Elga. I was planning to use them as temporary slaves. They can lend us a hand in expanding. Master, what do you think?"

One of the robbers quickly said, "We were wrong before and we apologized for not recognizing Mount Tai. We promised to never rob players again and be good citizens!"

"Yes! I’ll burn incense all night!"

The other robbers followed suit and pleaded.

(A/N: Temporary Slaves with the possibility of getting probationary status after hours of community service.)

Chunhua looked at the prisoners. Surprisingly, they didn’t have any bloody auras, prompting her to agree causing the prisoners to rejoice!

They can finally eat warm soup!

"Master, I’ve been thinking. What’s the reason why you rejected those four?" Siri was very curious.

Chunhua decided to tell the truth, "I have the ability to sense if the target had killed unjustly and those four people killed unjustly before." The bloody mist around them was bad karma accumulated. She doesn’t want those kinds of people to join her territory.

Siri was amazed, and then turned towards the prisoners. "How about the other refugees we accepted and the prisoners inside?"

"They’re okay." Chunhua replied.

"In that case, Master, whenever we recruit people, I’ll seek your opinion first." Siri smiled upon knowing his Master was a walking killer detector.

The road to the mountaintop is still long and treacherous and it will take more than three hours to travel by foot.

In order for them to reach it before sunset, they didn’t waste any more time.

"Let’s set off! Divide by groups of five and do not leave your appointed leader’s side at all cost!" Siri said before assigning the salted fishes to groups.

The refugees including the freed robbers piled into groups obediently and were very excited to see the territory.

"Finally." Wenyi was happy.

Junjie and Auntie Hui also smiled.

"Ah, Miss, where is your territory located?" Wenyi asked Xiang’er.

"At the mountaintop."

"Mountaintop?!"

"Did you mean the peak?"

"Yes." Xiang’er nodded.

The three craned their necks and looked at the mountain peak: "..." Are you kidding me?

Because the journey can be tiring, Chunhua gave first aids to Nian Zhen and his residents who were injured. They were very grateful. Those who misjudged Chunhua before was secretly ashamed.

"Yatou, thank you so much." Nian Zhen and the others expressed their gratitude.

The Salted Fishes and Soon-to-be Salted Fishes started climbing and on the way monsters kept pouncing on them but they were taken care of easily.

The refugees and temporary slaves became more and more shocked. They felt the immense disparity of their strength.

In the midst, Chunhua received a message.

[Player Hua]: Baozi! I’ve been trying to contact you since yesterday! I’ve met someone whose territory was near a large lime stone mine! They have 1,500 pieces ready to be sold.

Lime stone? Wait a minute...The Road System!

"Wait." Chunhua shouted making all the people stopped.

[Player Little Baozi]: How much is the supplier asking?

[Player Hua]: He’s asking for 100 pieces of copper-quality weapons, 50 kilograms of food items, 60 liters of water.

Chunhua withdrew the slots that were full of stones to the side of the mountain path before she paid.

She received the 1,500 pieces of lime stone in an instant and some jars of pickles.

[Player Hua]: My husband and I made pickled vegetables. Oh and the seller said that if you wanted to buy again, just inform him.

[Player Little Baozi]: Okay. Thank you.

Chunhua answered before sending seafood and weapons to Player Hua. The latter’s reminder was very timely. With this, the can reach the top quicker.

[Road System is activated. The system had calculated the optimal Hill Pass Routes.]

[Does player wish to consume 6,092 units of stones, 1, 523 units of lime stones, 1, 523 gallons of water and 60, 920 copper coins to build the Hill Pass Route?]

Chunhua agreed and afterwards, everyone saw a magical scene before them.
