In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Everyone hurriedly opened their bags.

Jiu Niang introduced them one by one, "This is a biscuit, this is a chocolate, this is... I don't recognize this one either. Mianmian has a good memory, so we can ask her to teach us when we need it."

Jiang Mianmian glanced at the items and saw they were compressed towels and wet wipes, but didn't explain them one by one.

He only picked out the important reminders: "These things can't be thrown away carelessly. If others find out we have these good things, they'll definitely come and steal them."

She opened the side pocket of her bag and took out a black garbage bag. "Every bag has a garbage bag. Put it here, and I'll collect them all and dispose of them later."

When collecting supplies, she tried her best to find simple and clean materials, but some were still plastic. These things not only pollute the environment but can also cause unnecessary trouble, so they can only be stored in a corner of the warehouse for now. It will be much more convenient once the garbage disposal unit is working.

Everyone listened attentively, except for Twenty-Five, who was happily twirling around with his bag on his back, completely absorbed in his own world.

Her bag was different from everyone else's; it was a pink bear, and she was wearing a tulle skirt.

As she spun around, the little bear's tulle skirt and its hem flew up together.

Twenty-five giggled, "Is it pretty?"

"nice!"

Jiang Mianmian lifted her up, spun her around twice in mid-air, and then put her down. "If I can't take care of you later, you'd better stick close to Third Sister."

Third Sister took Twenty-Five from her, saying, "Don't worry, Twenty-Five is very well-behaved and definitely won't run around."

Twenty-Five was even happier to be praised, and shouted loudly, "Twenty-Five will never fall behind!"

Jiang Mianmian took out two large bags containing heavy items such as bottled water and self-heating hot pot.

Lin Hu and Lin Bao readily took the initiative to carry it on their backs.

Jiu Niang gave everyone another Spirit Essence Pill. Everyone put on raincoats and straw hats, and the preparations were complete.

After locking the gate, a group of people slowly walked towards the east gate in the night.

The sound of rain pattering in my ears, and a cool breeze carrying its scent.

This scene was depressing.

Not far away, someone began to cry softly.

Are we really leaving? Will we ever come back?

How can you not feel sad when you leave a place you've lived in for several years or even more than a decade?

Those with a better mindset advised, "If God gives us a way out, maybe we can still come back."

"Anyway, I'm lucky to be alive, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Seventh Sister remained carefree. She was rescued covered in blood, and now that she was alive, what was there to be upset about?

Not only her, but the other young women also had less than ideal backgrounds.

Although this place is called a brothel, the first and second mistresses never forced them. They were willing to support them whether they wanted to learn a trade or get married, and they took care of them in every way. It was no different from the home in their hearts.

Yes, it's what I imagine, not reality.

For example, Seventh Sister was beaten by her family and ran away.

For example, Jiang Mianmian, and that Jiang family, are disgusting.

However, Jiang Mianmian no longer felt anything for the Jiang family and had no time to reminisce. She carefully checked the merit points displayed in the warehouse.

Yesterday, I slapped Jiang Ranran and took the opportunity to cast a tracking curse on her, which cost me ten merit points. The note I gave to Granny Zhao was also taken out at the last minute, which cost me another ten points. Later, when Jiang Jiman followed us, I took some medicine and applied it to the door, which also cost me ten points.

The notes handed out to the little beggars and the backpacks prepared back at Lingxiao Tower, one trip to retrieve items and another to enter the warehouse, that's twenty points.

The more she calculated, the more painful it became. Yesterday, she gave the rats some things, and they only got ten points as a reward.

How come the money is spent so quickly, but the rewards are so meager!

Only 120 points left!

Jiang Mianmian silently prayed for a smooth journey, otherwise her merit points would be used up after just a few trips to retrieve items, and she wouldn't have enough!

When the group arrived at the East Gate, it was just as the gate was opening.

You need money to enter the city, but not to leave.

Their excuse was simply to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and they gave the guards some copper coins. They were not stopped and left without any hindrance.

The guards weren't worried that they wouldn't come back. A group of young women, without even a travel permit, where could they go?

Jiang Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief as both teams left the city.

A familiar voice came from behind, "You brat! Where are you going?"

Everyone was stunned, and then they saw a woman rushing out of the procession entering the city.

The man's clothes were soaked and clung to his skin, and his hair hung down in clumps, making him look extremely disheveled.

However, her facial features were still easily recognizable; it was indeed Li.

Jiu Niang frowned. "Jiang Li Shi? What nonsense are you spouting?"

The others also gathered around, trying to block Jiang Mianmian, saying, "What we do is none of your business!"

"Get away from us! Stay away from us!"

The commotion drew the attention of many people.

The city guard's expression darkened slightly.

Jiang Mianmian quickly pulled Jiu Niang and the others aside and whispered, "You go first, getting up the mountain is the priority."

"Then hurry up and come."

Having finally managed to leave the city, Jiu Niang was worried about being detained.

However, he still didn't leave first. Instead, he gestured for everyone to move to the side and be quiet.

This made Li think they were scared, and she looked smug. She started cursing, "You brat, are you blind? Can't you see my clothes are all wet? Hurry up and take off yours and put them on!"

"Are you here to get beaten up, just like Jiang Ranran?"

Jiang Mianmian couldn't understand what else she could be doing here.

Li's expression changed, and she shrank back. "How dare you speak to your mother like that?"

The eldest, the second eldest, and Ranran have all been beaten by this brat! She doesn't want to be beaten again!

But as an elder, would this girl really dare to lay a hand on me in broad daylight?

After thinking it over, she became firm again, "Hurry up and take off your clothes?"

As he spoke, he reached out to undo the raincoat on Jiang Mianmian's body.

Jiang Mianmian glanced at Jiu Niang and the others; they were already about ten steps away from the city gate.

Even if the defenders launch an attack, our group can simply run away.

He then raised his hand and grabbed Li's neck, saying, "What's going on in your head? You could have lived a few more days, but you had to come here to court death?"

"Hiss... Let go... of me!"

Li was suddenly out of breath and tried to pry her fingers open with both hands.

Jiang Mianmian applied a strong grip but spoke softly, yet it was enough for Li to hear clearly.

"Don't rush, I'll make sure your whole family dies a neat and tidy death."

"What are you doing! What are you doing!"

The city guards ran this way, shouting, "Don't cause trouble here!"

Before he could get over, Jiang Mianmian forcefully flung Li Shi to the ground, then smiled sheepishly, "She had a worm on her neck, I'll remove it for her. Don't worry, brother, we're leaving now."

She looked so well-behaved that the guards didn't hear what she had just said. When they saw the woman lying on the ground and no longer cursing, they stopped.

It wasn't that Li didn't want to curse; she was just completely stunned! She truly thought she was going to die!

That girl spoke in a sinister tone, like a vengeful ghost!

After taking a few deep breaths, the fear in my body subsided a little, but when I looked up, Jiang Mianmian had already turned and left!

Li quickly got up and chased after her, feeling anxious and regretful. She wished she hadn't been so impulsive and had said a few kind words; the girl would definitely have been willing to go home with her. What should she do now?

She suddenly spotted the little girl who had squeezed through the crowd and was reaching out her arm to Jiang Mianmian!

The little girl had a smile on her face, clearly very close to that brat. If he snatched her and ran away, once he got into the city and found Lao San, he was smart enough to find a way to get that brat to come home with him!

With that thought in mind, my body moved before I could even react.

Jiang Mianmian felt a gust of wind beside her, and Twenty-Five, who was about to fall into her arms, disappeared from her sight in an instant!

He was grabbed by both of Li's hands and ran into the city like a whirlwind!

She clenched her fist, shoved her backpack into Jiu Niang's hand, and turned to chase after her.

"Ninth Sister, you all go and wait for me in the first cave!"

That was the route the two of them had planned long ago.

Li and Jiang Mianmian ran into the city one after the other.

The speed was so fast that the guards at the city gate were stunned, only managing to reach out and grab at the air, "Entry fee!"

Everyone was furious. Who would have thought that after falling, Li would still have the guts and strength to grab Twenty-Five?

Jiu Niang was worried, but they had finally managed to get out of the city, and going back in would only cause more trouble.

Instead, he listened to Mianmian and advised, "Let's go. We're going slowly. Let's go up the mountain first. Mianmian will definitely be able to bring the person back."

The others had no choice but to follow her, walking eastward with many turns back.

Just as I reached the main road, I heard a loud "boom"!

The earth suddenly trembled.

The earth shook!
