End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 78: Medicinal Materials Arrived
Fan Mengmeng's heart was pounding like a drum.
The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood, and weapons discarded by the enemy were scattered all over the ground, but this eerie silence was more creepy than the fighting.
She licked her cracked lips, gripped the weapon tightly, and glanced around vigilantly.
"Captain, I feel something is wrong..." Fan Mengmeng lowered her voice and said to Captain Chen beside her, "They retreated too quickly. It's like they're...luring the enemy deeper."
Captain Chen's face was grim; he had naturally sensed the strange atmosphere. "Everyone, be alert!" he shouted. "Beware of ambushes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar was heard in the distance.
The earth began to tremble, as if something huge was approaching.
Everyone looked in horror in the direction of the sound, only to see dust rising in the distance and a dark mass coming like a tide.
"A herd of mutant beasts!" Someone shouted, and a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
This time the mutant beast herd was larger than any previous one, so densely packed that it almost blocked out the sky.
They let out deafening roars and swept towards Fan Mengmeng and others with devastating force.
The enemy's trap finally revealed its fangs. They had no intention of retreating, but were waiting for the arrival of these mutant beasts!
Fear spread rapidly like a plague. Some weak-willed people began to collapse and fled in all directions crying.
"Calm down! Everyone, calm down!" Captain Chen roared at the top of his lungs. "Don't panic! Form a defensive formation!"
However, facing such a huge tide of beasts, human power seems so insignificant.
Fan Mengmeng waved the weapon in her hand and tried her best to kill the mutant beast that pounced on her, but she felt that her physical strength was rapidly draining away.
She gritted her teeth, a feeling of despair rising in her heart.
Are they really going to die here?
At this moment, she suddenly saw Captain Chen stumble, one of his arms being bitten fiercely by a mutant dog, and blood instantly dyed his sleeve red.
"Captain!" Fan Mengmeng exclaimed and wanted to rush over to help, but was blocked by the surging herd of beasts.
Captain Chen's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He looked at Fan Mengmeng, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness.
"Mengmeng..." He said with difficulty, "I... I'm afraid..."
Fan Mengmeng's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She looked at Captain Chen's painful expression, the approaching herd of beasts, and the desperate eyes of her companions around her, and a bold plan emerged in her mind.
She took a deep breath and shouted to Captain Chen, "Captain, take the remaining people and pretend to surrender..."
A hint of determination flashed in Fan Mengmeng's eyes, and she shouted to Captain Chen: "Captain, you take the rest of the people and pretend to surrender to attract their attention! I will find an opportunity!" Captain Chen was stunned, and then he understood Fan Mengmeng's intention.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "We surrender! Stop fighting!"
Some of the survivors immediately dropped their weapons and raised their hands, their faces filled with fear and despair.
Seeing this, Boss Sun laughed triumphantly: "Haha! A bunch of cowards! Wouldn't it be fine if you surrendered earlier?" He waved his hand, signaling his men to stop attacking.
At the moment when the enemy relaxed their vigilance, Fan Mengmeng led the remaining people and quietly went around the enemy's rear.
They are like cheetahs lurking in the darkness, with sharp eyes, ready to strike.
"Kill!" Fan Mengmeng gave an order, and everyone rushed out like a tiger descending a mountain.
The sudden attack caught the enemy off guard.
Boss Sun's face changed drastically and he roared, "Damn it! They are cheating! Kill them!" However, it was too late.
Fan Mengmeng's team pierced the enemy's heart like a sharp knife, completely disrupting their formation.
Li Er looked at this sudden change in horror, his face turned pale and his legs trembled constantly.
He never thought that Fan Mengmeng had this skill.
On the battlefield, swords flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Fan Mengmeng held a sharp blade and reaped the lives of the enemies like the god of death.
She has a nimble figure and sharp movements, and every blow she strikes is precise and deadly.
Boss Sun was frightened by Fan Mengmeng's bravery. While fending off Fan Mengmeng's attacks, he shouted in horror, "You crazy woman!"
At that moment, a signalman stumbled over to Fan Mengmeng and shouted excitedly, "Sister Mengmeng! Good news! There's news from the ancient transport team. They've overcome all the dangers on the new route and are rapidly heading towards the modern era!"
Fan Mengmeng was startled and stopped what she was doing.
She looked up into the distance and seemed to see Teng Junze's figure.
Boss Sun took this opportunity and swung his knife at Fan Mengmeng.
At the critical moment, a black shadow flashed by and blocked Boss Sun's attack.
"Mengmeng..." A low and magnetic voice sounded in Fan Mengmeng's ears.
Fan Mengmeng turned her head suddenly and saw a familiar figure...
Fan Mengmeng was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. In her blurred vision, Teng Junze's figure seemed to come across time and space, giving her endless strength.
She knew she was one step closer to reuniting with her lover, and this made her even more determined to defeat the enemy.
"Jun Ze..." Fan Mengmeng choked, but saw that Teng Junze just made a feint and then disappeared into the crowd.
It turned out that this was just a survivor with a similar body shape to Teng Junze. He was entrusted by Teng Junze to bring the news of the imminent arrival of the ancient transport team and to assist Fan Mengmeng in the battle.
This coincidence undoubtedly gave Fan Mengmeng a shot in the arm.
"Brothers, reinforcements are about to arrive, and victory is at hand! Kill them!" Fan Mengmeng's voice resounded through the battlefield like thunder. Every word was full of power, igniting the fire of hope that was about to go out in the hearts of the survivors.
Captain Chen and others were also encouraged. They were like people who had been injected with chicken blood, and their fighting power soared instantly.
The enemy was already in disarray due to Fan Mengmeng's surprise attack, and now their morale was even lower, and they were losing ground.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Boss Sun shouted in fear: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
However, Fan Mengmeng was well prepared.
She set up traps on the retreat route in advance, waiting for these stray dogs to fall into the trap.
The fleeing enemies were in a panic and fell into traps one after another, with wailing sounds coming one after another.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Er wanted to sneak away, but was caught by the sharp-eyed Captain Chen.
"You traitor! Where do you want to run to?" Captain Chen roared and punched Li Er hard in the face.
The battle ended quickly and Fan Mengmeng's team won the final victory.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Fan Mengmeng felt no joy in her heart, only endless sadness.
War is always cruel.
At this moment, the signalman ran over again, "Sister Mengmeng, the ancient transport team has arrived at the designated location!"
Fan Mengmeng's heart trembled, and she suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.
On the horizon, a group of people appeared and were running towards them quickly.
The leader is tall and imposing, who else could it be but Teng Junze?
"Mengmeng!" Teng Junze dismounted and strode towards Fan Mengmeng.
Fan Mengmeng also ran over and threw herself into Teng Junze's arms. "Junze..."
"Mengmeng, I'm here." Teng Junze hugged Fan Mengmeng tightly and whispered in her ear, "I brought back the herbs you need."
However, just as the two were hugging each other tightly, Elder Wu walked up to Teng Junze with a serious expression and whispered, "Young Master, something has happened to the medicinal herbs..."
Before Fan Mengmeng had the time to ask in detail, she saw Zhou Biaotou, covered in blood, staggering towards her and kneeling on one knee: "Sir, I am incompetent! The medicinal materials have been robbed!" Fan Mengmeng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, as if a basin of ice water was poured over her head.
She looked at Teng Junze in disbelief, her lips trembling and unable to speak.
Teng Junze's face turned ashen, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"What's going on?" His tone was cold, as if he was a Shura from hell.
Zhou Biaotou gritted his teeth and recounted what had happened: they were traveling to a canyon and were ambushed by a large number of masked men in black.
The other party was well-trained and ruthless, and it was obvious that they came prepared.
Although Zhou Biaotou fought desperately, he was outnumbered and the medicinal materials were eventually stolen.
Teng Junze clenched his fists tightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! I want to see who is so bold as to rob me!" He turned to look at Fan Mengmeng, his eyes full of self-blame and heartache.
"Mengmeng, I..." Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Now is not the time to assign blame. The most urgent task is to find the medicinal materials." Her eyes were firm and her tone was decisive, "Junze, let's check together." After returning to the base, Teng Junze immediately sent people to inquire about the news everywhere, while Fan Mengmeng and Captain Chen counted the remaining supplies and comforted the survivors.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Teng Junze came to Fan Mengmeng's room. The two of them sat there in silence, and the atmosphere was heavy.
Teng Junze took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Fan Mengmeng.
"This is..." Fan Mengmeng took the account book in confusion, opened it and took a look, her face suddenly changed.
"This……"
