Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

"Eldest brother, second brother, eldest uncle, eldest aunt."

Surprised, Sheng Yuanyuan stood up and looked at Jiang Zhu, Sheng Jin, and the others standing in front of her. Overjoyed, tears streamed down her face.

"Good child, don't cry, let your aunt hug you."

Jiang Zhu took two steps forward and hugged Sheng Yuanyuan, her eyes also welling up with tears.

The sound of weeping could be heard all over the beach. Some were happy to see their families reunited, while others were secretly saddened, but all of it was a mixture of emotions.

After Lu Chuan looked Meng Tong up and down and found no signs of discomfort, he finally felt relieved.

"How is it? Have they all been rescued?"

Helping Lu Chuan stand up, Meng Tong asked in a low voice.

The man, with a stern face, explained the actual situation: some of the older people had not made it through.

However, this is the best answer at present.

"Wei Lian is dead."

"Hmm? What's the reason?"

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, somewhat surprised that this person was too easy to kill.

Isn't he the crown prince?

Lu Chuan told Meng Tong about his and the female shopkeeper's crazy biting and biting each other, and after thinking for a moment, he also told her about the earthenware pot that Sheng Yu had found.

The woman lowered her head and remained silent; she felt that the scene was too much like a zombie apocalypse.

"Are there any other symptoms?" Meng Tong continued to ask.

Lu Chuan recalled telling Meng Tong everything he knew.

She frowned, unable to figure out the real reason, because it reminded her of a strange tale she had once stumbled upon.

I've heard that in a certain foreign country, someone would cut off a person's head and soak it in blood, adding a curse to make the small altar successful. As long as you nourish it with your own blood every day, you can fulfill some of your wishes.

This was a strange tale that Meng Tong had stumbled upon by chance, but she never paid it any attention to it, and she never encountered such a situation even in the apocalypse.

But now...

With a tense expression, the woman concealed her inner thoughts.

……

It took a full hour of rest and recuperation on the beach for everyone's complex and excited emotions to calm down.

Sheng Jin gathered all the Dawn Island people together and explained Sheng Tao and Meng Tong's plan.

"Really? It's really possible to enter Laoshan?"

"Is the place big? Will it be enough for so many of us?"

"..."

Everyone was talking at once, expressing their worries about going to Laoshan Town. Some people even looked at Meng Tong and Lu Chuan with a mixture of fear and excitement in their eyes.

Were they there voluntarily?

What were the details of their transaction?

Various speculations arose, leaving everyone both excited and worried.

Seeing that Sheng Jin was losing control of the situation, there used to be elderly people to keep things under control, but now some were dead and others had perished, leaving only Sheng Tao in Duanshan Village.

For a moment, everyone lost their leader.

"Everyone be quiet."

A clear, cool female voice rang out on the slightly noisy beach; it wasn't loud, but it was very intimidating.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were turning towards Meng Tong, Lu Chuan stood next to her, his aura carrying a cold and oppressive feeling.

"Now is not the time for you to discuss these things. He has already considered all your concerns."

"Since you're already there, don't say anything more. I, Meng Tong, don't like people who talk too much and don't listen to me. If you think it's not feasible, you can leave now."

"No, no, that's not what we meant."

Upon hearing Meng Tong's words, a man of similar age to Sheng Jin stepped forward.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Mian, who was standing next to Sheng Xiu, quickly stepped forward to cover his father's mouth, lest he say something inappropriate!

"Um, let go of my hand. Your dad isn't senile. We're just very grateful... By the way, what's our daughter's name?"

"Meng Tong".

The woman directly told Lu Chuan her name; she had told him she wanted to change her name when the Sheng family went to Duanshan Village.

The man agreed without asking why, and from then on everyone called her by that name.

"Yes, Tongtong is our benefactor on Dawn Island. We were worried that you two would suffer because of us, which is why we had so many concerns."

"There's nowhere left for us in the entire Great Wei. If we go to Laoshan Town with our daughter, what if that dog emperor finds out later..."

Cheng Mian's father, Cheng Jun, was a broad-minded and cheerful man who said whatever he wanted.

He offended many people when he was young, so everyone was afraid that he might say something wrong.

Unexpectedly, what they said today turned out to be correct, and everyone quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what we meant."

"We don't want to implicate innocent people anymore."

"Sister-in-law, this..."

"Since I promised Grandpa, there's no reason for me to go back on my word."

Looking sideways at Sheng Xiu, Meng Tong smiled; she was quite satisfied with his attitude.

At least they can consider things from her perspective, and for that reason alone, she protected these people.

……

The matter on Dawn Island was thus resolved, and everyone was led by Sheng Yu and his group towards Laoshan Town.

Meng Tong, Lu Chuan, and Si Jiao returned to Dawn Island.

“Madam, these are all. I originally wanted to take them with me, but things came to an emergency, otherwise I wouldn’t have been willing to leave them to fend for themselves here.”

Pointing to the more than 300 horses in the enclosure, excited smiles spread across all four corners of their faces.

The reason he left last that night was that he wanted these horses to live a few more days.

He usually takes care of the horses, and it's hard for him to sever his emotional ties.

Now that Meng Tong has learned that there are still more than 300 fine horses on the island, he immediately rushed over.

Someone who wouldn't throw away even the smallest needle or thread wouldn't possibly throw away this.

"Go back and make me some beautiful carriages."

"Row."

Looking at the woman's rare, excited smile, Lu Chuan's lips curled into a doting smile.

The horses were transported away on a "green carpet," and when they landed in the forest of Laoshan, Meng Tong couldn't wait to mount the tall horse.

"Be careful, don't fall."

"Will not."

Grasping the horse's mane tightly, Lu Chuan stroked its face and said something. Then, it obediently carried Meng Tong towards Duanshan Village.

He instructed Sijiao to take the horses and catch up with Sheng Yu and the others first.

Meng Tong and Lu Chuan were the last ones to clean up the mess.

They took out all the apocalyptic seeds from the space and threw them into the forest, and tall, straight trees sprang up one after another.

Since then, no one has actually entered Laoshan from the fishing village.

It became increasingly mysterious, with some saying that ghosts had set up a maze inside, inspiring awe in everyone, and no one had ever set foot there.

It took a month to travel from the east side of Laoshan to Duanshan Village.

Of course, instead of rushing, everyone took a leisurely approach.

They either collect pretty, edible mushrooms or gather all sorts of strange and unusual things.

They even herded a herd of wild buffalo and deer that appeared out of nowhere.
