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

Sure enough.

This thank-you gift was both practical and thoughtful, and Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but give Qingrui a lot more food.

The meal mainly consisted of compressed biscuits. This time, instead of hot pot, we brought instant noodles, oil tea noodles, and two large jars of sesame salt.

"You can just pour hot water over the oil tea noodles. They come in both sweet and salty flavors. This is sesame salt. If your food is really bland, just add a small spoonful."

Qingrui was too embarrassed to accept anything more, but she really couldn't bear to part with it, so she turned around to get the money.

"Alright, these are all rewards from the Blessing Fairy, not for me to sell for money. Just take them. As long as you can survive, that's more important than anything else."

Jiang Mianmian reminded them, "You should also bring some self-defense items."

After giving her instructions, she didn't linger any longer. She handed the loudspeaker to Sister-in-law Ishida and then bid farewell to everyone.

After leaving Lijia Village on the west side, she got back into her car.

Thinking of heading west to check out the condition of the mountain.

After driving for only half an hour, covering a distance of about 20 kilometers, they discovered a lot of fallen rocks, and there seemed to be more and more of them!

She executed a drift, causing the entire car to veer around the corner and abruptly change direction.

"boom!"

A rock the size of a fist hit the back of the car!

Behind them, a whole string of stones was falling!

Jiang Mianmian's forehead was covered in sweat. She pressed the accelerator to the floor and almost lurched forward.

With a crash, the stones landed where the car had just been driving! If it hadn't turned in time, it would be crushed under the stones now!

Through the rearview mirror, she saw mud and water splashing everywhere, and even more mud and rocks in the distance, moving faster and faster!

She gripped the steering wheel firmly, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, not daring to be distracted for a moment, and rushed back to Lijia Village as fast as she could.

The heavy rain obstructed visibility, making driving difficult to begin with. Now, the ground is not only covered in mud and water but also has many loose stones. A single misstep could easily lead to a fatal accident.

Behind us, the mudslide was moving faster and faster, like a deadly demon!

Five minutes, ten minutes... Fortunately, the car was going fast enough that Jiang Mianmian felt she had already put some distance between herself and the mudslide. She then hurriedly recorded a message and turned on the car's loudspeaker to play it on a loop.

"The earth dragon has descended the mountain! Head east immediately!"

"The earth dragon has descended the mountain..."

"Earth Dragon..."

The sound carried even before the car reached Lijia Village.

The villagers of Lijia Village were packing their things, and many of those who were initially cursing and reluctant to leave changed their expressions drastically after hearing what was said.

We just said we'd meet and depart in an hour, why are we leaving now?

No, what did it say? The earth dragon really came down from the mountain?

Many people rushed out of the yard to peek inside, asking, "You heard that too? What happened?"

"I don't know, why don't we go find the village chief?"

Qingrui recognized the voice, but Sister-in-law Shitian immediately pulled out a megaphone. "Can't you hear that? It must be Miss Jiang coming back to deliver the news! Don't delay, grab your parents, lead the children, and run! Forget about the things at home! Hurry up! Do you want to drown or be smashed into mincemeat by rocks?"

The last sentence was truly terrifying.

No longer daring to hesitate, the crowd went home to count heads and then ran eastward.

Jiang Mianmian, who had just entered the village, also heard the familiar sound of the loudspeaker and couldn't help but nod. It seemed that the loudspeaker had been given to her.

As she drove around Lijia Village, she said, "I'm Miss Jiang, who came to deliver the news. I was heading west when I discovered that the earth dragon has already come down the mountain and will be here in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. If you want to live, run!"

After only circling half of the village, many villagers had already started running eastward in a flurry.

As for those who would risk their lives for money and still dig for cash at home, I can only wish them well.

From afar, she could see Qingrui's entire family and the village chief waving to her.

"Miss Jiang, you should run too!"

Jiang Mianmian didn't stop the car, but only slowed down. "Don't worry, I have to follow the Blessing Fairy's instructions and go around to a few more villages. You guys hurry up!"

The car sped away, and the villagers of Lijia Village also rushed eastward without stopping.

Those who owned oxcarts or donkey carts would tie very young children to them to prevent them from falling off. Those who were too old to walk and didn't want to keep the children from leaving would cry and urge them onward.

More than two hundred people formed a long queue.

And at this moment, the surging mud and water could already be seen in the distance! Winding and roaring, it resembled a raging yellow dragon!

No one dared to delay any longer, and they no longer cared about their houses; they wished they could grow four legs and eight arms.

The elderly woman, lagging behind at the end of the line, struggled to get off her son. "Come on! Don't worry about me!"

"Mom! Please stop making a scene!"

The son squatted down, wanting to carry her on his back again.

The old woman had already picked up a rock and smashed it hard on her head. "I can't be a burden to you. You all go! As long as you live, there is still hope for our family!"

It's unclear where the old lady, who's usually bedridden, got such strength; in one go, both red and white fluids flowed out.

After saying his last words, he collapsed softly to the ground.

"mother!"

The man's voice was shrill as his wife and children dragged him forward, pleading, "Honey, please, you're the pillar of our family, we have to survive!"

"Father, faster!"

Several people were on the verge of tears, but the same thing was happening in more than one place.

The entire group was filled with despair and a deathly atmosphere.

"Boom!"

Mud and water, along with boulders, almost instantly engulfed Lijia Village!

"My home! Ah!"

The crying suddenly erupted, and like a wildfire, the entire group began to cry and shout uncontrollably.

The speed of travel naturally slowed down, and at this moment, the horn sounded again.

It's Ishida's wife.

"No one is allowed to cry! Miss Jiang risked her life to come and tell us, not so we could cry! She wants us to live!"

"So what if the earth dragon comes down the mountain? We have immortals to protect us, to show us the way to survival, and to give us back our immortal artifacts and spiritual food!"

"If we live, we can rebuild Li Family Village! If we die, we'll lose everything!"

"Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump thump!"

As the sound of gongs and drums rang out, the village chief's aged voice came through the loudspeaker:

"The earth dragon is destroying our homeland, run for your life, don't panic!"

"With concerted efforts, we will surely greet the rising sun!"

One line after another, the crying finally subsided, and some people began to sing along to the rhythm.

The procession wound its way forward, and the singing grew louder and louder.

Gradually, its speed increased, and it actually broke away from the pursuit of the earth dragon behind it, vaguely resembling a newborn dragon, rapidly advancing towards the direction of the rising sun.

Jiang Mianmian had just finished circling the fourth village and was about to take a look at Tupo Village when she discovered that her merit points were rapidly increasing!

[Merit +50, Total Merit Points 560.]

[Merit +50, Total Merit Points 610.]

[Merit +60... +50... +80... +50...]

In just three to five minutes, the number jumped from over four hundred to over two thousand! And it's still increasing by tens of units at a time!

【Mianmian...save...】

Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice!

My heart leaped into my throat. [A system?!]
