Chapter 366: It’s a Village, Not a Lake

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: It’s a Village, Not a Lake

She was surprisingly strong, yet Jhiang Yuan couldn’t break free.

Song Yi was dragged out along with her, letting out a sharp scream.

"Are you okay, sister?"

It was actually Chuyi who had pulled her, to her surprise.

This kid was incredibly strong, easily pulling both of them over.

"Are you feeling any better now?"

Chuliu also came over, his eyes filled with concern.

Uh...

It seemed like she really was better, all the chaotic noise was gone.

If it weren’t for the slight stabbing pain in her ears, she would not have believed that what had just happened was real.

It was truly magical how everything stopped as soon as they left that place!

This must have been some sort of magnetic field, misconstrued by the locals as a deity.

Regardless, mutual respect was always appropriate.

"What, are these all the people left?"

They had started with thirty-six people, and now there were only twenty-five left.

Losing nearly a third of the group was terrifying.

What was key was that when they looked back, those people had vanished without a trace, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

"Sister, don’t worry, if they couldn’t come over, it means they didn’t pass the Five Ghost Mound’s test.

Don’t concern yourself with that, okay?"

But naturally, losing companions wasn’t good.

"Qingqing, how are you, Qingqing.

Brother Song, Sister Yuan, come and take a look..."

Zhang Kaiyang had just discovered that Fan Qing had passed out, and there was blood coming from her ears.

My God, the scene was quite terrifying.

"She’s been harmed by the noise, didn’t block her ears properly, huh!"

Chuyi was angered, as if his authority had been challenged.

On one side, Fan Qing lay unconscious, and on the other, a perturbed young teenager fumed.

"Chuyi, do you have any solution? I know you must have one, she’s our friend, please help her."

At this point, Zhang Kaiyang had lost his swagger.

He knelt down, cradling Fan Qing in his arms, and scooted closer.

"Please, I’m begging you, save her; I’ll do anything you ask."

She had never seen Zhang Kaiyang like this before, a snotty mess with tears streaming down his face.

What could she say? He was a man of honor and loyalty.

"Brother, why don’t you just help them?"

Chuliu blinked his big eyes and tugged at his sleeve.

"Sigh, what a hassle."

The boy complained, yet he took out a pill from the backpack he carried with him.

"Here you go~"

His reluctant demeanor was somewhat endearing.

But Jhiang Yuan’s mind was solely on Fan Qing, not allowing for any distractions.

Another person was in the same condition, so with reluctance Chuyi gave out another pill.

The effectiveness was uncertain, but they had to continue on their way regardless.

The main group was ready; Zhang Kaiyang carried Fan Qing, while the others agreed to take turns looking after the injured.

Jhiang Yuan also sent her family off, as they all hastened their steps.

According to Chuyi, it was now a race against time, and the hardest part was behind them.

"Sister, are you scared?"

Chuliu had sidled up to her at some point.

"A little, are you scared?"

"I’m scared too, but I want to find my parents even more.

Oh, sister, that brother just now gave me a piece of chocolate. I’ll share half with you."

She was referring to Zhang Kaiyang, as a reward that didn’t take into account past grievances.

He had given each of the two siblings a piece of chocolate, and now Chuliu actually wanted to share half with Xiao Nuan.

This child hadn’t yet been corrupted by this decrepit world and still maintained his innocence.

"Chuliu, keep it for yourself to eat, little sister’s teeth aren’t good, she can’t eat sweets.

Hold onto it well, and don’t let others know, understand?"

It’s hard to fathom what’s in another’s heart; nobody can be trusted.

"I got it, then I’ll eat it all."

The little girl looked at her naively, then directly put the remaining chocolate in her mouth.

She squinted her eyes happily, seemingly savoring the rich taste.

Soon, the sky began to darken, and the temperature dropped significantly.

Jhiang Yuan was dressed in the warmest clothes but still felt like she couldn’t withstand the cold.

"Brother Song, should we take a break and light a fire to warm up?"

Lu Er was also shivering with cold, speaking with a stammer, his tongue almost tied.

"No, we must reach the place tonight, or we won’t have another chance tomorrow.

All right, you see, the kids are still persevering!"

Chuyi and Chuliu’s figures were very small, but they kept leading the way without a single complaint.

Feeling embarrassed, Lu Er didn’t dare to say anything more, and everyone lit their torches and started hurrying along frantically.

Jhiang Yuan also started to feel exhausted; it was truly tiring, and the road was difficult to traverse, with deep and shallow spots.

"Look, there’s light..."

Someone called out, and there indeed was light.

It was across the mountain on the opposite side, but the light was faint, likely from a candle or kerosene lamp, not very bright.

"Great, we’ve arrived, that’s the place."

Little Chuyi also called out excitedly, but Song Yi looked perplexed.

"Chuyi, Half Moon Lake, isn’t it supposed to be a lake?"

"No, it’s a village, right there.

What’s wrong, brother?

It can’t be wrong; I’ve been here several times with dad!"

Saying so, she started to descend the mountain.

The people around her were also brimming with excitement.

If nothing else, the illusion of hope was there.

Everyone got busy.

Now, their spirits had improved quite a bit, even Jingjing was happy, walking along with Xiao Ling.

"Let’s go, let’s check it out first!"

Jhiang Yuan called over Song Yi; she had seen what her senior sister had left behind.

There was only a small enclosed area drawn on it, without a detailed description of what it was.

Because it was named "Half Moon Lake," we naturally imagined the place to be a lake, which is understandable.

Now, finding it was actually a village,

Could this mean that they, the survivors, could live on in this village?

This could be the sanctuary of the apocalypse, the true Survivor Base.

Song Yi was puzzled, but he couldn’t pinpoint what felt off.

All he could do was to follow what Jhiang Yuan said, and go take a look first.

They had been struggling the whole day; they needed to rest.

The houses looked very close, but when they actually walked, it was quite far.

It took nearly an hour, and by the time they arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already nine o’clock at night,

and the house that had lights on earlier was now completely dark.

Everyone proceeded with their torches, but it was still somewhat difficult to determine the exact location.

After all, the range illuminated by torches was limited. Song Yi took out a powerful flashlight, and with its faint light, they could make out some shadows.

"Who’s there?"

Unexpectedly, a group of people ran over and surrounded them.

"Don’t misunderstand, we are good people."
