Not only were the common people grateful to Ji Yunshuang, but the Qi soldiers present were also very grateful to Ji Yunshuang for bringing people to rescue them.

Many soldiers' families also live in Qiongdu.

Previously, they were helpless against those monsters, unable to even protect their own lives, let alone their families.

But Ji Yunshuang brought them hope.

They've survived, and if they're lucky, their families might too.

Seeing the people kneel down and kowtow to Ji Yunshuang in gratitude, the soldiers of Qi also kowtowed to Ji Yunshuang and said that their lives had been saved by Ji Yunshuang and her men, and that from now on they would all obey Ji Yunshuang.

She is the monarch they must serve.

Upon hearing this, the people all agreed.

Some people even angrily cursed King Jing of Qi.

"That coward! He quietly abandoned us and ran away. He doesn't act like a monarch at all! It's a good thing we used to pay so many taxes and support them. In the end, all our hard work and frugality only resulted in supporting such a cowardly bastard!"

"I really hope they are all killed by those monsters, not a single one left."

"That bastard who doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people! He deserves to die!"

"I didn't see him, but if I had, I would have killed him with my own hands. This scourge is utterly unfit to be a ruler!"

"These monsters might be the punishment sent down by Heaven and Earth for his inhumanity and unworthiness to be a ruler."

……

The people were outraged and cursed King Jing of Qi.

They channeled their grief over losing loved ones and friends into rage. They hated King Qi Jing for his inaction, for fleeing with the royal family and high-ranking officials while completely disregarding their lives, leaving them in the city to become food for monsters.

Not only did they ignore them, but before leaving, they also ordered their soldiers to guard the city gates to the death and prevent them from leaving.

Isn't this just deliberately indulging them and letting them get eaten by monsters?

The more they thought about it, the angrier the people became.

They were also extremely disappointed with the State of Qi.

The ruler is no good, and neither are his courtiers. Why should they remain subjects of Qi?

So, some people knelt down before Ji Yunshuang and shouted, "From now on, we will all follow the immortal, we are your subjects."

"We want to be your subjects!"

……

At first, some ordinary people took the lead in shouting this, and later all the people present shouted it in the same way.

Xu Xi and the other Zhou soldiers were overjoyed to see this scene.

The soldiers and people of Qi surrendered to their lords on their own initiative, and things went even more smoothly than they had expected.

As expected of their lord, they are gods descended from heaven, blessed by the heavens.

Aside from adults, who else gets such treatment?

They are truly blessed to be able to follow Lord Ji.

The soldiers sighed inwardly.

Ji Yunshuang withdrew her mental power and said to the people, "Everyone, please get up quickly. It's not completely safe yet, so please don't let your guard down. Let's leave here as soon as possible."

The people were alarmed when they heard this.

Haven't they already killed so many monsters? How come they're still not completely safe?

A commoner asked in a trembling voice, "Are there still monsters?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "All the monsters in this area have been killed, but there are far more monsters entering Qiongcheng than these. In addition, even if these monsters are dead, they contain a lot of germs."

If we linger here too long, we might become infected by bacteria emanating from their corpses, causing a widespread epidemic.

The people and soldiers of Qi were shocked upon hearing this. They had never imagined that the corpses of these monsters could cause a widespread plague.

They clearly remembered that this chaos was initially caused by the plague.

Many people showed signs of panic again.

"So, we need to deal with these corpses now. Not just the monster's corpses, but also the civilians who were harmed by the monster."

Ji Yunshuang continued, then changed the subject: "But you don't need to worry too much. As long as these corpses are disposed of properly, there will be no more spread of the plague, and everyone will be safe. Now, let's leave here together and move to a safe place."

In this era, people believe in the importance of being buried in the earth for peace.

Hearing that the bodies of their loved ones were to be cremated, many people were heartbroken. They had just lost their loved ones and hadn't even had a proper goodbye before they had to watch helplessly as their loved ones were burned.

Many people cannot accept this.

However, no matter how painful it is for them, they have no choice but to accept it, because survival is the most important thing.

The most important thing now is to survive.

Considering everyone's feelings, Ji Yunshuang ordered her men to separate the monster's corpse from the human corpse and burn them separately.

If a suitable opportunity arises later, those who have lost loved ones can also bring a handful of ashes back to commemorate and remember them.

Ji Yunshuang didn't spend too much time on this.

She had just used her telekinesis to check the situation at the other two city gates. She found that although the other two city gates were farther away from the east gate, their situation was not much better than that of the south gate.

Once the monsters entered the city, they ran rampant. Many of them had already gone to the other two city gates.

What the people at the south gate are experiencing is what the people at the other two gates are experiencing right now.

She had to take her men and hurry to the other two city gates.

She divided the soldiers she brought from Zhou into three teams, two of which were led by her and Lu Yinheng respectively, to rescue the people at the other two city gates.

Xu Xi led a group of people to escort the people at the south gate to a safe place.

She had previously found a house that had not been invaded by monsters to temporarily house the Yao family and the people she had rescued on the road.

To prevent monsters from entering the house and harming people, she sprinkled snake and insect repellent powder around the house.

Leave some soldiers behind to protect them.

When she used her mental power to investigate the situation in the city, she also took the opportunity to investigate the situation of that house.

They discovered that no monsters had entered the house, so it was safe.

Therefore, Ji Yunshuang instructed Xu Xi to lead people to take the people from the south gate to that residence for resettlement.

That residence is quite large, so it might be crowded to accommodate the people from the south gate, but it wouldn't be too crowded.

After making the arrangements, she and Lu Yinheng each led soldiers to the other two city gates to carry out the rescue.

The two men brought not only soldiers from the Zhou state, but also newly recruited soldiers from the Qi state.

The soldiers of Qi did not have protective clothing.

During the march, Ji Yunshuang positioned the Qi soldiers, who were not wearing protective suits, in the middle, while the Zhou soldiers, who were wearing protective suits, stood on the sides, forming a protective formation.

The newly joined Qi soldiers felt a warmth in their hearts.

The deity truly treated them as her own people. Considering their safety, she placed them in the middle of the group and had Zhou soldiers protect them.
