In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

If it were just him alone, Mo Bei would choose to follow, but now that he has Su Li with him, he has to think carefully.

Seeing that the group had walked away and Mo Bei hadn't given a reply yet, Su Li suggested, "Why don't we follow them? Maybe we'll find something unexpected. We're not going to stop them, we just want to see where that place they mentioned is. Maybe we can snag something."

Having said all that, Mo Bei could no longer hesitate. He whispered a warning to Su Li to be careful and then marked a spot on a nearby tree.

The group ahead was acting very cautiously; if it weren't for Mo Bei's excellent concealment skills, the two of them would probably have been discovered long ago.

Sensing that this situation was not simple, the two of them were very careful and dared not make a sound.

After following the group for about half an hour, just as Mo Bei was considering whether to continue following them, the group arrived at their destination.

Perhaps because of the remote location, or perhaps because they were sure no one was around, the group's voices gradually grew louder, so that Su Li and Mo Bei, who were following behind, could hear them clearly.

"Boss, are you sure this is the place the third brother mentioned?" A thin man in the group couldn't help but ask, his tone full of tension.

The man called "Boss" was groping around when he heard this and nodded without thinking, "Of course it's true. The third brother told us before he left that he helped King Wu repair granaries, and this is one of them."

Upon hearing this, the remaining people were both happy and worried, saying, "Then we have food. But if this is discovered, we will all be guilty. Will we be punished by having our homes confiscated and being executed?"

Upon hearing this, the man who was searching for the entrance paused, then said, "We're starving to death right now, who cares about the future? Besides, if we take food from inside today and flee the famine, who will be able to find out it was us?"

The others, upon hearing this, agreed that it made sense, but said with some regret, "It's a pity there are only a few of us. We heard that the granaries built by the King of Wu are filled with a lot of grain, and we can't take much with us."

The leader of the group had already found the entrance. He was more rational than the others and said, "Even if we take them all, we won't be able to protect ourselves. They might even find our location by following the clues. Rather than taking such a big risk, we might as well just take a few bags of food and leave."

“I’ve heard that things are in chaos outside. The King of Wu’s army is fighting everywhere. This granary could be taken over at any time. We shouldn’t be too greedy. We should take the grain and leave.”

Upon hearing this, the others agreed, nodding in agreement. Looking at the now-open entrance, they cautiously asked, "Could there be traps or mechanisms inside?"

"No, the third brother said before he left that this granary was built hastily by the King of Wu, and there wasn't time to make traps." After saying this, the leading man stepped into the entrance first and led his men inside.

The group left two people to guard the entrance, so Su Li and Mo Bei dared not make any rash moves.

From the conversation of the group just now, Su Li and Mo Bei both understood one thing: there was food inside, and quite a lot of it.

Judging from what the group of people said, the grain here was all stockpiled by the King of Wu, and there was a possibility that it would be taken over soon. Su Li and Mo Bei then realized that the matter was urgent.

Hiding in the bushes and observing the movement at the entrance, Su Li whispered to Mo Bei, "Why don't you go back and inform Zhao Zexuan? We can't miss such a good opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Bei shook his head and said, "No, I have to protect your safety, Madam. It's not safe to leave you here alone. Besides, I left a mark on the General along the way. If we haven't returned by this late, the General will definitely come looking for us."

Hearing this, Su Li had no choice but to abandon her plan to send Mo Bei back to call for help, and continued to quietly watch the commotion at the entrance.

The night was quiet, and thankfully there weren't many mosquitoes on the mountain these days, otherwise it would have been impossible for the two of them to hide in the grass without getting their faces covered in mosquito bites.

Time flew by, and after a quarter of an hour, a sound came from the entrance. The group of people came out one after another, each carrying two or three sacks of grain, their faces full of excitement.

The two men guarding the entrance saw them come out carrying grain and rushed forward to help, asking excitedly, "How is it? Is there a lot of grain inside?"

Those who went inside couldn't contain their excitement and exclaimed, "So much grain! Besides grain, there's also a lot of gold and cloth. No wonder the King of Wu secretly had granaries built here!"

Upon hearing this, the two men guarding the entrance brightened up, staring intently at the sack that had been brought out, and said excitedly, "Third Brother really didn't lie to us."

The last man to emerge, who was also the leader of the group, said in a heavy tone, "We don't know if the third brother is alive or dead. He took a great risk to tell us this news. After this, let's not mention today's events again."

The group nodded, knowing the consequences of their actions, and naturally dared not say anything more.

"Alright, let's leave here quickly while it's dark and go down the mountain. Once we get back, we'll distribute the food, and then we'll go out to escape the famine."

"Okay." The group quickly carried the grain back the way they came.

As the group emerged from the entrance, Mo Bei guessed their intentions and carefully led Su Li to hide to the side. Because of this, the group did not notice Su Li and Mo Bei's presence when they returned along the same route.

After the group had gone far away and they were sure they couldn't hear a sound, Mo Bei and Su Li relaxed. Su Li looked at the entrance not far away and said to Mo Bei, "Shall we go in and take a look now?"

Mo Bei wanted to go in and investigate, but he was worried about Su Li going in with him, and he was also worried about leaving Su Li alone outside. So he said firmly, "We'll wait here. I believe that with the general's abilities, he will find us soon."

Hearing this, Su Li could only nod and say, "Then let's wait for now. I wonder if Zhao Zexuan will say that we haven't gone back yet, it's so late."

Upon hearing this, Mo Bei's lips twitched involuntarily, and he rarely showed worry as he said, "He may not say anything to Madam, but he will definitely criticize me. I did not complete the task assigned by the General. It's so late and I haven't even brought you back to the camp."

"No way, we're doing something really serious!" Su Li said in disbelief.

Mo Bei: "Yes..."
