Quickly wear the boss and don’t be cannon fodder

No one dared to sleep that night; the stench of blood in the air reminded them of what had just happened.

Widow Zhang trembled with fear. What would she do if those people had come to take her son?

There were five people on the other side, while she was all alone. She and her son were at their mercy.

At this moment, she felt only relief, relieved that the other party was not targeting her and her child, and relieved that Su Yan was much more capable than she had imagined.

The other people seemed to be seeing Su Yan for the first time, and they thought to themselves that Su Yan really had unlimited potential. Even a woman like Su Yan, who seemed to be powerless, could be ruthless and fearless when she was forced into a corner!

While most others were too afraid to sleep, Su Yan secretly slipped a steamed bun to each of the three children, letting them eat it secretly. She then gave each of them a couple of sips of water before finally coaxing them to sleep.

The Li family naturally heard about how Su Yan and her three daughters were almost ambushed, and that she had killed one of the attackers. For a moment, the Li family couldn't believe that Su Yan had done it.

The men of the Li family had grim faces, sensing that Su Yan wouldn't compromise this time, and that they could no longer get food from her.

When Li Shan heard about this, he dared not yell at Su Yan in front of her anymore, fearing that she might turn on him and kill him in a fit of anger.

After all, on the road of fleeing famine, killing and being killed seemed to have become the most normal thing.

The next morning, before the sun had risen, the procession from Dahe Village began to march again.

The man who had been left in the middle of the road had been dragged away, leaving only a trail of blood. It was unclear whether he had been buried or used as food.

Su Yan didn't pay attention and took out a pancake from his pocket that looked similar to a wild vegetable pancake. In fact, it was made by the robot butler in the space using flour, with a layer of wild vegetables rolled on the surface.

The mother and her three daughters shared the pancake. Daya, Erya, and Sanya were immediately impressed when they tasted it. This wild vegetable pancake was much tastier than any wild vegetable pancake they had ever eaten before, and it didn't hurt their throats.

Daya winked at Erya and Sanya, signaling them to be quiet.

The three of them reluctantly finished the wild vegetable pancakes, and Su Yan then offered them water.

The three of them were sensible and only dared to take a sip.

Someone secretly observed them and noticed the wild vegetable pancakes they were eating, assuming that Su Yan had secretly hidden them before leaving.

He secretly thought that the mother and daughter probably didn't have much food left.

Not only the Li family, but several other families were also waiting for Su Yan and her three daughters to starve to death so they could collect their corpses.

There were refugees from several other villages before and after Dahe Village, and they were separated by a clear line, about one or two hundred meters apart.

There are very few lone refugees, and even if there are, they disappear after a short while.

As for what they actually encountered or what happened, no one cared; they were simply told they either starved to death or were killed or robbed.

The midday sun was blazing, and the team had only walked thirty kilometers that morning. Everyone was exhausted, barely able to breathe.

They seemed like they might collapse at any moment, yet they were also strong; they looked frail, but they persevered tenaciously.

The line reeked of sweat, sour smells, and various body odors. Those at the back were truly suffering.

However, the unpleasant smell was the least of the difficulties; in the face of hunger and heat, it was nothing.

Water! Everyone is severely dehydrated!

The midday sun was too strong, so the team found a shady hillside to rest.

Su Yan then took out the water pouch and gave it to Da Ya and the others to drink.

The three sisters stared longingly at the water pouch. Daya nervously tilted her head back to pour water and drink, and to her surprise, there was still water left.

Just one sip made me feel so much better.

At least my throat is no longer bitter, and my mouth is no longer painfully dry and cracked.

Er Ya also took a sip carefully, afraid of spilling a single drop.

Sanya was the same; after finishing her drink, she obediently returned it to Su Yan, not daring to drink any more.

Their obedient and sensible nature is heartbreaking.

Many people around them were eyeing their water bags with predatory intent. There was a feeling that they might rush up and snatch them at any moment.

Su Yan knew this wasn't a misperception; they genuinely wanted to come up and snatch it, but because of the calm and decisiveness she had displayed the previous night, they didn't dare to rush up and grab it rashly.

They didn't take water before because they thought they were out of water, and they're not taking it now because they're afraid. They don't even know that there's still water in her water bladder.

Widow Zhang next door also saw what Su Yan and her daughter were doing and was envious again.

The mud that had reached the bottom of her and her son's tank was barely enough for each of them to drink a couple of sips of water.

If they can't find a water source, the mother and child probably won't be able to hold on for even a day.

What will she do if she really can't survive...?

She knew she couldn't beat anyone, and dared not provoke anyone; she had no choice but to beg for charity.

Ugh……

Seeing the widow Zhang's miserable expression, Su Yan didn't do anything extra, only hoping to find a water source quickly, otherwise not only the widow Zhang's family, but many people would die from lack of water.
