My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Not only the civil officials like Fan Hongmiao, but also the Zhou soldiers like Liang Zhonglin all turned their gazes toward Ji Yunshuang.

None of them noticed anything amiss with the man who came seeking help.

He looked absolutely miserable.

Coupled with the experiences he described, it's hard not to feel sorry for him.

But Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng remained calm from the very beginning.

Looking back now, it's clear that the two men sensed something was wrong with the man from the very beginning. Instead of immediately rescuing him after hearing his request, they continued to question him.

Their questioning infuriated the other party, who eventually revealed their true colors to them.

Everyone looked intently at Ji Yunshuang, eagerly awaiting her to share her experience so they could learn something from it.

They were all worried that if they encountered such a monster again, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

But Ji Yunshuang didn't have any experience to share.

She relied entirely on her intuition.

Her features are now unusual, and she felt a strange sense of wariness when the man walked over.

Subsequent events proved her intuition correct.

Ji Yunshuang judged the man entirely based on intuition, while Lu Yinheng shared a few points of experience. He said, "His crying looked very sad, but there were actually no tears. I suspect that although those monsters can mimic human expressions and speech..."

However, the human bodies they occupy are already dead, so they are different from living people. With careful observation, it's not impossible to spot them.

Ji Yunshuang nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, they can only hide inside a person's body, and the person in question does not know about the experiences of that body in life. If you are worried that your loved one's body has been possessed by them, you can try to determine this."

Hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, Fan Hongmiao and the other civil officials breathed a sigh of relief.

With these two methods of identification, they weren't entirely helpless. However, the thought of their loved ones being possessed by monsters filled them with immense anxiety.

But there was nothing they could do about being anxious.

After the monster possessed the man and attempted to deceive Ji Yunshuang, and then failed in its enraged attack on Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng, a large number of multi-headed monsters emerged.

"You take them and go first, I'll come after you later!" Ji Yunshuang said to Lu Yinheng.

Lu Yinheng was worried, but seeing Ji Yunshuang's resolute eyes, he finally obeyed her orders and left with his men first.

After Lu Yinheng left with his men, Ji Yunshuang released a large amount of her mental energy to investigate the situation in Qiongdu.

She released far too much psychic power.

Many monsters were attracted to her.

Once the monsters were attracted to her, Ji Yunshuang took out bombs from her spatial storage and bombarded them.

Some monsters escaped the bombs, and she quickly fired follow-up shots with her gun.

After the apocalypse, the order of the aristocratic families was completely disrupted.

Ji Yunshuang had already learned to use various weapons skillfully.

Her marksmanship was quick and accurate, and she soon shot down all the remaining fugitives.

She then did the same thing again, burning all the bodies.

Not long after Fan Hongmiao and his group separated from Ji Yunshuang, they heard a huge explosion.

They had heard the explosion when they were at Yumu Mountain.

Lu Yinheng was with Ji Yunshuang at the time, so he knew what had happened. Liang Zhonglin and the other Zhou soldiers could probably guess that the explosion was caused by some kind of powerful weapon set up by their superiors. However, Fan Hongmiao and the other civil officials were unaware of this.

The group had been suffering terribly from their injuries and were constantly in danger, so they didn't bother to ask what the loud noises were.

Hearing this again, the group couldn't help but be surprised and doubtful once more.

"Is Lord Ji alright? Then... what happened?" Fan Hongmiao looked in the direction of the explosion. From his position, he could see flames shooting into the sky and a huge cloud of smoke in the air.

Lu Yinheng glanced worriedly at the location of the explosion and said, "Don't worry, let's get out of here quickly."

Ji Yunshuang attracted too many monsters to her, which greatly reduced the pressure on Lu Yinheng and Xu Xi.

Fan Hongmiao and the others were worried about their families and didn't have time to worry about anything else. They all listened to Lu Yinheng and hurried on their way.

From the direction they are going, they will pass by the Yao family first.

Although Fan Hongmiao was reluctant to go to the Yao family first, he had no choice but to suppress his reluctance and take Lu Yinheng to the Yao family first, since it had been agreed before that they would take the most manpower-saving route.

When chaos erupted in Qiongdu, Madam Yao learned of it. Upon learning of the turmoil, everyone's first instinct was naturally to flee, to find a way to escape the city.

After considering the matter for a moment, Madam Yao ordered the servants to take out their weapons and close the main gate. Then she gathered all the family members into one room and had people guard it from all sides.

It's too chaotic for everyone to escape; it could easily cause overcrowding.

Before General Yao left, he told her about the situation in Zhengcheng. She felt that going out into the crowds might actually lead to a faster infection with the disease.

Rather than joining the crowds and not even being able to leave the city, it's better to stay home and try.

But the situation was much more serious than Madam Yao had anticipated.

She originally thought it was an epidemic, and that everyone just needed to stay in the general's mansion and have less contact with the outside world.

But it turned out to be much more than just a plague.

There was a multi-headed monster that looked like a snake, but wasn't one, causing chaos in the city.

These things could easily enter the courtyard, and the servants in the house couldn't stop them at all.

These monsters not only have multiple heads, but each head also has sharp teeth. They move very fast and their bodies are extremely tough, making them impossible to kill with ordinary weapons.

In just a short while, most of the general's servants and guards had fallen.

Madam Yao was already pale with fright from the scene outside, and her legs were weak. But looking at her children and her elderly mother-in-law, she forced herself to suppress her fear and took the knife to the front.

"Mother, you stay and take care of my sister." Yao Licheng said with unwavering determination, "Let me protect you."

"No! You are still young, you stay in the room." Madam Yao was not a sheltered young lady who never left her home. On the contrary, she was the daughter of a military officer and had learned martial arts from her father and brother since childhood.

Before she got married, she often practiced martial arts with knives and guns.

Although she did not go to the battlefield like General Yao, she was not cowardly.

Yao Licheng said, "Mother, I'm all grown up now, please don't treat me like a child anymore!"

Madam Yao was filled with conflicting emotions.

If they were facing thugs and robbers, she would not stop her son; she would take him with her to face them together.

However, those were not ordinary thugs or robbers.

It was a monster they had never seen before.

Most of the household guards and servants were dead. She knew how ferocious the monster was, and that facing it would likely mean certain death.
