Cheng Huaiqian beckoned to the old Baitou and others hiding in the dark, and the two helped carry the luggage across the city wall.
After climbing over the city wall, Old Baitou couldn't believe that they left Ping'An City so easily. In addition, his nephew Xiao Nan's mental state seemed much better, and he was overjoyed.
"Have you been optimistic about the route in advance? We will give you a ride."
Cheng Huaiqian interrupted the old Baitou's emotion and urged him to go on the road as soon as possible.
Old Baitou came to his senses. They had just left Ping'An City. When they were not relaxed, they nodded again and again, and led the way first, and left in the northwest direction of Ping'An City.
With Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize helping with the luggage, the group was not slow.
It wasn't until they walked for more than an hour that Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize said goodbye to them and prepared to return to Ping'An City.
"Old Cheng, Xiao Ze, Ping'An City is really dangerous now, you might as well go with us!"
Since the old Baitou escaped from Ping'An City, he felt a lot more relaxed. At this time, how could he bear to watch Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize go back.
"No, let's go first, we still have things to do, don't worry, when it's really dangerous, we've been familiar with the route tonight, and we'll leave Ping'An City at that time."
Xia Ruize reassured and bid farewell to the group decisively.
After more than an hour on the road, at this speed, they already knew the time and route needed to go to the nearest city. The goal had been achieved, and it was time to rush back.
The two rushed back to the barracks at full speed and had time to lie down and rest for a while after washing up.
From Xia Ruize's point of view, he was woken up as soon as he closed his eyes. Looking at the time in the system, it was four o'clock in the morning.
It had been two consecutive days that the training started at 6:00 in the morning, and suddenly the soldiers started to wake up at 4:00 in the morning. Many soldiers were very angry. Finally, the conflict broke out near the well.
The anger of getting up and the rush to scramble for clean water to wash, made some soldiers endure the temper of the night and broke out completely. Everyone in the barracks was violent, and none of them were ordinary people. The final result was a fight.
Almost as soon as the barracks became chaotic, Cheng Huaiqian pulled Xia Ruize up to a tree next to the martial arts field, hiding on the branches to watch the fun while avoiding being affected.
"The number of people involved in the chaos is increasing. Twenty-eight, thirty-two, thirty-seven, oh, forty-six…"
Xia Ruize relied on the expansion of the space backtracking coverage, and broadcasted what he saw to Cheng Huaiqian live.
The little soldier who just woke up and was still in a daze was suddenly slapped by the person next to the water basin. He wondered if the other party was not careful. He was so angry that he immediately raised the water basin and threw it back. In a hurry, it was inevitable that other people were accidentally hurt, so more and more soldiers were affected by the melee.
The barracks were smashed into a mess not long after, there were still some people who kept their senses, especially those Corporals who were in charge of command last night and seldom fought by themselves. One punch knocked the fighting soldiers down, and soon, a large area fell around the well.
"I really doubt, when the so-called Full Moon Tribulation comes, would anyone still be able to maintain their combat effectiveness?"
The corner of Cheng Huaiqian's mouth raised a sarcastic arc. So far, he had not seen anything difficult to deal with evil spirits, but he had seen that the human side was really in a lot of situations and it was very difficult to deal with.
"Should we do something? If there is no sane person who can resist the evil spirits, we won't be able to last long."
Xia Ruize's tone also became serious, and he felt a little more worried.
To put it bluntly, the Full Moon Tribulation was actually a war between the humans of Ping'An City and the evil spirits of the evil sea. No matter how strong one's personal ability was, it could affect local battles at most, but it was powerless to affect the overall war.
Now that they had realized there was a problem, why not do something about it?
"How about going to meet the city lord in person at night? Since there is no information from other people's mouths, the city lord must know something."
Cheng Huaiqian suggested in a relaxed tone.
Xia Ruize thought for a moment and agreed. They were sure of their own strength, and they could still run if they couldn't do it.
So, the two discussed preparations for a night visit to the City Lord's Mansion.
By the time the chaos in the barracks was suppressed and all the soldiers stood in line on the martial arts field, more than an hour had passed.
"You guys are really talented! How dare you make trouble in the barracks! Everyone is punished together! Run ten laps around the city!"
The captain of the defense team, who came over to hear the news, was furious, and roared at the soldiers below on the high platform, "I haven't criticized your performance when you went out of the city last night, yet you have made me a bigger mess, you are good!"
The soldiers who participated in the disturbance were reprimanded fand were unhappy, and the soldiers who did not participate in the chaos but were punished were even more unhappy, so that when running, even if the voice of the corporal reprimanded from time to time, the whole team was still filled with uncooperative air and reluctant attitude.
If it weren't for the fact that the whips in the hands of the corporals were really powerful, I'm afraid that some soldiers would have given up.
However, this punishment could not be executed in the end, because as the sky brightened, conflicts broke out frequently in all parts of Ping'An City.
Most of the official members of the defense team go out to fight in the city at night, and the rest time was during the day. The remaining members took on the heavy responsibility of maintaining order in the city and guarding the city wall during the day.
However, in the face of the constant outbreak of conflicts everywhere, the number of regular members of the defense team was really not enough, and the temporary members had to be transferred to guard the city wall again, so that the strength of the regular members could be spared to deal with public security incidents.
Cheng Huaiqian asked Xia Ruize to guard the city wall, and at the same time created an illusion to hide from others. He himself left the city wall and sneaked into Ping'An city during the day, making various preparations.
As night fell, the temporary team members returned to the barracks and concentrated on the martial arts field. The captain of the defense team looked at the soldiers below and felt anxious. In order to clean up the mess in the city in the past two days, the temporary team members did not train much, and their actual combat performance was not satisfactory.
After reprimanding for more than half an hour, after summarizing the criticism of last night's actual combat performance, the captain may have also felt the low pressure among the soldiers, and finally started an activity to make the soldiers a little happier: rewarding spirit stones.
It turned out that the logistics staff who were in charge of counting and collecting spirit stones were behind the team out of the city last night. They had already counted the number of spirit stones obtained by each person by killing evil spirits last night. According to the previous promise, after deducting half of the spirit stones, the resto would be distributed to each team member´s hands.
This time, the captain of the city defense team announced loudly on the high platform that each soldier came to the stage in turn to receive his own spiritual stone, so that each soldier clearly realized that the more battles, the more rewards.
"Nie Yong, 3 pieces.
Xu Da, 4.
Cheng Huaiqian, 6.
Xia Ruize, 14…"
All the soldiers could hear clearly. Most of the soldiers got 2 to 4. Originally, it was enviable for a "Cheng Huaiqian" to get 6 Spirit Stones, but then an amazing harvest of "14" appeared.
Everyone was stunned, and they craned their necks to see who was so strong. It was obvious that everyone went out of the city to fight together. Why was the difference in the final harvest so big?
Unfortunately, the sky turned dark at this time, and only the nearby soldiers saw Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, but the defense captain on the high platform nodded to the two with satisfaction.
Xia Ruize's corporal was very surprised. As a regular team member, if he went out of the city to perform a mission, he could get 8 to 10 spirit stones at a time, and it had to be close to the period when the evil spirits of the full moon were active, but Xia Ruize could get so much when he went out of the city, he had a lot of potential.
After distributing the spirit stones, the sky was completely dark, but the soldiers were assigned to be on duty at night. The joy of just getting the spirit stones was a little less, and the resentment rose again. They were on duty during the day and on duty at night, endless!
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian's duty mission was scheduled from two to four in the morning. The two did not rest at all. After their teammates fell asleep, they left the military camp leaving an illusion. First, they went out of the city to kill evil spirits until late at night, and again accumulated a lot of spirits stones. Then, the two rushed to the City Lord's Mansion in the dark.
Passing through the spirit shield outside the city lord's mansion with ease, the two approached another shield on the inside.
However, they did not try to forcibly break the spirit cover, but waited at the edge of the spirit shield. Soon, a washbasin-sized ninja turtle emerged from the soil under their feet.
After buying their own spirit shield, the two began to study the weakness of the spirit shield, and finally found that the spirit shield was actually a semi-circular energy cover that was buckled upside down on the ground, which meant that the spirit shield could defend against the sky, but couldn´t defend against the ground.
It was obvious that the evil spirits outside the city came out from the ground. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian didn't understand why the so-called spirit shield did not protect against the ground, but when they went out of the city to experiment, they found that the evil spirits really couldn't get in. After all, they didn't understand the principle so they could only be put aside their doubts for the time being.
So, Ninja Turtle was sent to the city lord's mansion, and after carefully and diligently digging a tunnel for a day, he finally dug through both sides of the spirit shield inside the city lord's mansion, and bypassed the spirit shield through the tunnel.
Xia Ruize touched the ninja turtle and put it away. He didn't know what was going on. The ninja turtle should had been swimming in the sea, but when this system ninja turtle was in his hands, why was it always digging through the wall?
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other, and without any hesitation, jumped out of the hole dug by the ninja turtle, bypassed the spirit shield, and got inside of it.
At this time, the inner courtyard of the city lord's mansion was quiet, the Ninja Turtle had already explored the terrain. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian rushed to the city lord's bedroom without hesitation.
The door of the bedroom door was removed by Xia Ruize's mind power, and the two entered the bedroom smoothly. Xia Ruize used [mental shock] at the city lord lying on the bed.
The sleeping city lord had no idea that someone would break in silently. He felt a sudden tingling in his brain, and woke up instantly with a cry of pain, only to find that a large knife had been placed on his neck.
"City Lord, please don't yell, this will cause us a lot of trouble, and it would be bad to hurt you accidentally."
Cheng Huaiqian deliberately lowered his voice, looking particularly gloomy.
Xia Ruize had already lit a candlestick by the table, and the faint candlelight illuminated the three people in the room. The city lord, who was holding his head and forcibly suppressing the pain, sank in his heart. When he was unaware, two people broke in. What was going on?
