Chapter 98 Extinguishing
"We'll go back as soon as we go."

After saying that, Xin Nian pulled Xin Mochen away and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Liang Guang and Xiao Jia were already used to the Sixth Sister's unpredictable appearances, but even so, they were still startled, let alone the others.

Xin Wen'an jumped up with a "smack," rubbing his eyes repeatedly, "Where's Xiao Liu? Where's Xiao Liu?"

Zhuang clutched her chest, speechless for a long time.

So, Xiao Liu really didn't hold a grudge against the couple too much before.

Otherwise, with such unpredictable and mysterious methods, they could kill them in a matter of minutes without anyone noticing, right?
Xie Ninglan was helpless.

My daughter, every time everyone mistakenly thinks that this is the limit of her ability, she always manages to surprise everyone again.

"Did you see that? Did you see that? Did you see that?" The old man shook his apprentice sitting beside him with a look of delight. "That's real power, see? Hey, I, this old man, really have a good eye. I knew my niece was no ordinary girl!"

On the other side, Han Zhao shut his mouth after a long while and turned to look at his master.

Suddenly, I realized something!

The master who was just sitting behind him had disappeared without a trace.

Xin Nian pulled Xin Mochen and teleported several times, following the direction indicated by Old Man Huang, and sure enough, they found a fenced-off shed area.

The hunter's house, built of stone, is three bays in size, with a simple shed built around it. From a distance, you can see many figures moving about.

Xin Nian was about to pull Xin Mochen away when they heard a panicked scream coming from the shed area.

Then a shirtless, burly man was seen dragging several people out of the hunter's house.

His younger brother handed him a whip.

The shirtless man cursed and swung his long whip, whipping the men he had dragged out until they were covered in welts, rolling around in pain and clutching their heads.

"This is what will happen to anyone who dares to steal water."

"Why is that idiot stealing water again?" Whispers could be heard from the surrounding area.

An older woman shouted, "The commander said that all this water must be saved, because we might have to use it to irrigate the land later."

"What's the point of watering? It's dark every day, how can any seeds sprout and grow? The fortune teller said this darkness will continue for a long time, and no one knows when the day will return."

"We must save the water!"

"The commander said there's not much food left, and if we can't grow any more, we'll all die."

"What do you know? Didn't we send people to guard Xiaoling Village? The report says a large group of people have arrived."

"It looks like they're escorting exiled prisoners, right? What kind of food and drink could exiled prisoners possibly have?"

"Why don't the convicts have food? The officials must have provisions!"

"If we can take them all, it will be enough to sustain us for a while."

"The officers have knives, right? Can we beat them?"

"Didn't we send someone over to prepare to administer the drug?"

"Quiet down, everyone, the commander is here."

Xin Nian and her brother squatted behind the tree, looking at Commander Wang who was approaching with a smile.

This man was not old, but he was quite handsome, and he was followed by dozens of young men.

He raised his hand, and the surroundings fell silent.

"Please invite the sorceress."

Four burly men carried an old woman with a wrinkled face and dark skin as they strode over.

The sorceress sat on a bamboo mat, waving her hands haphazardly. "You must stock up on plenty of food and water. I predict the situation will only get worse. If you want to survive, remember to store plenty of water and food!"

Xin Nian raised an eyebrow, squatted down next to her brother and whispered, "This fortune teller is just like Old Man Gu, able to predict the future by reading celestial phenomena?"

Xin Mochen sneered, "I bet she couldn't have predicted her fate today."

Xin Nian grinned. "Brother, I'm reminded of that cannibal village we wiped out in our past life."

“If these people are not dealt with now, they will eventually turn into a cannibal village.”

They don't eat people because they still have some food.

Only a few days after the fall of night, they were already devising a plan to massacre the entire village and harm others; the whole village was full of ruthless people.

Forget about innocence or not; those who survived are all people who knew the truth.

When the flowers of evil begin to bloom, they must be nipped in the bud at the source in order to better safeguard the future of humanity.

"Old rules."

Xin Mochen nodded in understanding, then emerged from behind the tree and quickly moved forward, making a great commotion.

"Who goes there?" Commander Wang and the villagers were all drawn by the sound.

Xin Nian entered the hunter's house without anyone noticing, and immediately saw the grain piled up to the top, raising an eyebrow.

With so much grain, you still say there's not much left?
After all, they had looted a whole village's food and supplies, and everything they needed for food, clothing, and daily necessities was readily available.

Even so, the sorceress continued to complain about being poor in front of everyone, clearly in cahoots with Commander Wang.

Greed makes people despicable.

Xin Nian shook her head.

Under such damp and shady storage conditions, grain piled up like that for a long time would inevitably mold.

It's safer to just give it to a bunch of underlings; they'll eat it anyway.

Xin Nian ransacked the hunter's house and found the body of a girl in the second room.

Upon reaching the innermost room, they found a girl whose hands were hanging from a wooden pillar, barely clothed and on the verge of death.

"How are you?" She freed the woman's hands from the iron rings and helped the weak woman sit down.

The woman grasped her hand in return, as if drawing infinite strength from it, and slowly opened her slightly swollen eyes, "Xiao, Xiao Zhi... save her."

"If you're talking about a girl with a mole on the corner of her mouth, then she's already dead."

The woman trembled, a few drops of bloody tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and her breath became faint.

Xin Nian grasped her wrist. "If you want to live, I can heal you. But I don't like it when someone I've saved goes back to their death, wasting my energy. So, do you want to live?"

The woman nodded with great difficulty.

"Okay." Xin Nian felt relieved. "As long as you want to live, I can keep you alive."

"Why...should I die? It's them who should die."

Xin Nian nodded in agreement, "You're right. Sister, you are the epitome of womanhood, a role model for all of us."

Good girl, with this kind of perseverance, you can do anything.

Xin Nian put an antibiotic and a fever reducer into the girl's mouth, and then took out a water bottle and gave her a few sips.

She easily carried her on her back and hurried out the door. Outside, chaos had completely broken out; her brother was setting fires everywhere.

Many villagers were terrified by the flames that could rise at any time and scattered like birds and beasts.

Unfortunately, the shantytown they lived in seemed to be enclosed by an invisible barrier; no matter which direction they ran, they would run into an invisible obstacle.

Everyone howled like trapped beasts.

Fires broke out everywhere, thick smoke billowed, and visibility was severely limited.

As Xin Nian carried the injured woman out of the hunter's house, they were immediately surrounded by Commander Wang and his men.

"Who are you?" Commander Wang looked at Xin Nian in surprise.

Fires broke out everywhere, and Commander Wang mistakenly thought that government troops had come to kill them. He shouted "Witch doctor!"

As the sorceress's hands and feet trembled and danced wildly, Xin Nian noticed that the air around her was gradually becoming viscous.
