Lu Yinheng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have any of the horses in the house been harmed?"

Yao Licheng immediately said, "The horses are all in the stables. I'll go check if there are any horses that haven't been harmed."

With that, he put his mother down and got up to check on the stables.

Lu Yinheng was worried about his safety, so he asked Duan Wu to go with him.

Soon, the two returned with three tall, magnificent horses.

Lu Licheng said, "Some died, so now only these three horses are left."

Lu Yinheng looked at them and said, "Three horses are enough. Hitch up the carriage first, and you can all get on."

So everyone hurriedly started harnessing the horses to the carriage.

Lu Yinheng looked at the corpses scattered on the ground and said to the Yao family, "These guards and servants were all bitten to death by the monster. Their bodies must be disposed of, otherwise they could easily cause new contamination and generate new viruses. Therefore, we will burn them along with the monster's corpses."

Those servants and guards were all old members of the Yao family, who died protecting their masters. The Yao family members felt deeply saddened just thinking about it.

The Yao family naturally wanted to collect their bodies and give them a proper burial.

Given the current situation, they couldn't even protect the living, let alone the dead. In the end, they all said they would do as Lu Yinheng said. As for the servants and guards who died protecting them…

If they survive, we will definitely build a cenotaph for them so that future generations can pay their respects.

Lu Yinheng immediately began gathering all the corpses from the General's Mansion together. Unlike Ji Yunshuang, who could readily produce items to ignite the bodies, he planned to bring some firewood from the General's Mansion to burn together with the corpses.

However, before he could act, Ji Yunshuang arrived.

Ji Yunshuang glanced at the scene and said, "You all go first, I'll handle things here."

Fan Hongmiao and the other civil officials were extremely anxious at this moment, and Lu Yinheng wasted no time and immediately left the Yao family with his men.

Zhu Qi's house was the closest to General Yao's, so Lu Yinheng and his group went there first. However, they couldn't find anyone at Zhu's residence.

Judging from the chaotic situation at the Zhu residence, it was clear that the family had fled in haste, but their exact destination was unknown.

The group didn't linger and continued towards Fan Hongmiao's house.

After burning the corpses in General Yao's mansion, Ji Yunshuang also chased after them.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few multi-headed monsters here and there. Ji Yunshuang fought fiercely, preventing these multi-headed monsters from getting close to them.

However, the Yao family's horses were so frightened that they neighed incessantly. If the driver hadn't controlled them properly, the horses would have likely gone berserk on the spot.

Liang Zhonglin and the others couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that these were just ordinary horses, their legs trembling with fear at the sight of the monster.

Unlike the celestial horse given by Lord Ji.

When they entered the city, they saw so many monsters, yet not a single horse went limp or went berserk.

The adults felt that it would be inconvenient for everyone to fight on horseback, so they decided not to let the horses enter the city and made other arrangements.

As for how the rest of the arrangements would be made, they were not clear.

However, he guessed that Lady Ji was a celestial being descended from heaven, possessing extraordinary abilities. Perhaps she had even released those celestial horses back into the sky.

Besides the multi-headed monsters, they occasionally encounter people on the road who haven't been killed by the monsters yet.

Some people were seriously injured while protecting their families, and died before they could even say goodbye.

Some people are missing limbs.

Along the way, Ji Yunshuang picked up three children: a man missing half a leg and a boy missing an arm.

Ji Yunshuang personally treated their wounds.

While treating their wounds, she discovered that this time the insects had multiplied and were much stronger in combat.

However, it seems that it has also regressed in terms of spreading the virus.

During this trip into the city, she seemed to see mostly people killed directly by the multi-headed monsters. Unlike before, there weren't large-scale outbreaks of disease or people losing their ability to move.

Does this mean that it cannot evolve indefinitely?

"Thank you so much for saving my life!" The young man, covered in blood, said to Ji Yunshuang with deep gratitude.

Ji Yunshuang temporarily put aside her doubts and said, "No need to be polite. You are injured, so please get in the carriage and rest for a while."

The boy, however, shook his head with bloodshot eyes and hatred, saying, "Although I am missing an arm, I can still endure it. I will kill these monsters with my benefactor and avenge my parents."

Seeing this, Ji Yunshuang didn't try to persuade him further. She gave him a sharp broadsword and fed him some tonic pills, saying, "Be careful to take care of yourself."

Apart from the boy, the others temporarily boarded the carriage.

The horse wasn't moving fast, and there were monsters interfering along the way. By the time they arrived at the Fan residence, half an hour had passed.

Like the Zhu family, the Fan family members were not in the mansion.

However, there were two servants in the mansion who had escaped the disaster. Upon seeing them, Fan Hongmiao quickly asked, "Where are the madam and the others? Where did they go?"

Upon seeing Fan Hongmiao, the two servants burst into tears, stammering, "Master, you're still alive? That's wonderful!"

"The lady and her entourage escaped?"

"We stayed behind to guard the mansion... but unexpectedly, a lot of strange snakes came..."

Fan Hongmiao had no time to listen to what had happened after the monster entered the mansion. He anxiously asked, "When did Madam and the others escape? Where did they go? Do you know?"

The two servants shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they did not know where Madam Fan had fled with her people.

However, although we don't know where they escaped to, we do know when they escaped.

The two men said that someone from the lady's family had come and that they had said something mysterious to the lady, after which she fled with her entourage.

The escape took place the night before.

Fan Hongmiao calculated the time and could only pray in his heart that they had already escaped the city, that they hadn't encountered those monsters, and that they were alive and well...

Now, he has no other choice but to pray.

Ji Yunshuang took two servants from the Fan family and set off for the next house.

However, they also missed the next few families they visited.

It seems that apart from the Yao family, the other families have all chosen to flee the city.

With the city in chaos, Fan Hongmiao and his companions could no longer ask Ji Yunshuang to help them find their families.

Even if she begged, Ji Yunshuang probably wouldn't agree.

They had no choice but to give up.

Everyone looked at Ji Yunshuang, wondering what she would do next.

Ji Yunshuang once again used her mental power to sense the current situation in Qiongdu.

Qiongdu has a total of four city gates.

The refugees came from the direction of Shengcheng and first surrounded the east gate.

The East Gate was also the first to become chaotic.

When the people of Qiongdu discovered the chaos at the East Gate, they fled through the other city gates. Now, the most crowded, chaotic, and populated areas are those few city gates.

After using her telekinesis to understand the situation in the city, Ji Yunshuang decided to go to those city gates first.
