Shen Shuli put away her submachine gun and slowly walked towards the city gate.

She tried to ignore the corpses on the ground, but there wasn't even anywhere to put her feet down.

She could only clean up the battlefield first.

All the corpses, along with the blood-soaked soil beneath, were stored in the spatial warehouse.

To avoid getting the warehouse dirty, she laid a large plastic tarpaulin on the ground in the most open area.

Put all the dirty things on the tarpaulin.

In just a quarter of an hour.

The ground at the foot of the city gate has been completely cleaned up.

But she couldn't do anything about the bloodstains on the city walls and gates unless she put all the bloodstained bricks into her spatial storage.

The city wall is probably destroyed.

Those bloodstains became the only evidence to prove this killing.

Shen Shuli entered the city without any hindrance.

This Qingyun City is no longer a place to stay.

Shen Shuli picked up a paint spray gun and sprayed a few lines of words on the wall inside the city wall.

"Hanshan Pass has fallen! The Northern Barbarians will soon invade Qingzhou! The corrupt county magistrate has already received the news and is preparing to abandon the city and flee!"

"The corrupt official deliberately closed the city gates to prevent the people from escaping, intending to squeeze every last drop of silver and grain from them before leaving, driving them to their deaths! All people, leave immediately!"

Even if most people are illiterate, there must be a small number of people who can read.

The commotion that just happened at the South Gate was so great that it's sure to attract a lot of curious onlookers.

The news will definitely spread quickly.

She did not want the people in the city to be trapped and die due to lack of information.

This was the last thing she could do for the people of this city.

Most of the soldiers had already died at her hands, and the county government had lost control over the people, making it easier for them to leave.

Shen Shuli did not forget her purpose in entering the county town.

She quickly wandered from house to house, from shop to mansion, searching for families with wells.

Fortunately, most of the wells still have water, but only half the normal level.

Shen Shuli took half the water from each well, leaving ten taels of silver, as if she were buying water with money, and not taking advantage of the people.

The method used was not exactly aboveboard.

But she had no choice; she didn't have time to knock on doors and ask people to buy water.

This is the only way to save time.

Shen Shuli made one last trip to the county government office.

They discovered that the corrupt official had found a large sum of silver and grain in his residence.

This corrupt magistrate's methods of accumulating wealth are truly remarkable!

She sneaked into the corrupt official's bedroom again, tied him up like a mummy, leaving only his head sticking out.

They left the person outside the county government office.

Tomorrow morning, countless people will surely come to settle scores with him.

He took all the water from the wells, ponds, and water tanks in the county government office into his spatial storage, and moved the grain and silver to the streets outside the county government office.

All the grain in the city's granaries was moved and placed on the open ground outside the county government office.

She planned to have the city's residents take the grain and flee the famine as soon as possible.

But she wouldn't stay in the same place to distribute grain to the people, because that would put herself in the open and let everyone know that she was the one who did it.

She then took out a paint sprayer and wrote a warning notice on the wall of the county government compound.

The gist of it was to advise the people not to be greedy and take more than they should, and to leave a way for other people to survive.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to protect themselves on the road to escape famine and would instead bring disaster upon themselves.

It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet; the county magistrate is the best example of this!

That's all Shen Shuli can do. As for whether the people will listen to her and how many of them can actually do it, that's beyond her control.

One night.

Shen Shuli collected more than half of the city's water resources, approximately twenty tons.

That's enough to sustain us for a while.

They were also forced to buy a lot of water containers from shops that sell water tanks, fish tanks, washbasins, buckets, bath tubs, wine jars, pickle jars, bottles and jars.

If we encounter a water source in the future, we won't miss the opportunity because we won't have a container to hold the water.

The sky is bright.

Shen Shuli prepared to leave the city.

The streets and alleys of the city were found to be bustling with activity.

A large crowd of people had gathered, especially at the south gate.

They looked at the few lines of text on the tall city wall and discussed them animatedly.

Shen Shuli saw that some literate scholars read the text aloud to the people and explained it to them.

The people are in an uproar.

In particular, those ordinary people who secretly went out to check last night spread what they saw.

Shen Shuli added fuel to the fire, exclaiming, "I saw it too! It's absolutely true! I just went to the county government office, and the county magistrate has been kidnapped by some mysterious person!"

"The mysterious person even brought out all the grain, telling the people to take the food and flee for their lives!"

"Many people have already taken the food and are preparing to flee!"

"If you go too late, they'll probably all be gone!"

Upon hearing that a mysterious person was distributing grain to them, the people felt compelled to go and see for themselves, regardless of whether it was true or not!

Grain has been banned from sale in the city for a long time!

They had been hungry for several meals, and their eyes lit up at the mere mention of food!

In a few swift movements, all the people had vanished.

The city gates remained wide open.

The soldiers guarding the city secretly returned last night to check.

The pieces of flesh outside the city gate had vanished without a trace, as if nothing had ever happened.

But the bloodstains on the city walls and gates remain, now a dark red.

This proves that what they saw last night was not a hallucination!

Thinking that it might be controlled by some mysterious force, the officers and soldiers were once again terrified and fled in panic.

Upon returning to the county government office, they found the magistrate had been kidnapped!

There were also words left by a mysterious person on the wall outside the yamen!

The officers and soldiers, fearing the mysterious man, spontaneously began distributing food to the people, hoping that the mysterious man would spare their lives because they were obedient!

Shen Shuli was unaware that the expected looting and seizure of grain by greedy commoners or powerful and wealthy merchants did not occur.

Almost all the people in the city received grain and silver.

Meanwhile, some of the villagers of Peach Blossom Village and Zhang Fuhu remained hidden in their houses.

Seeing that the south gate was finally open, he immediately seized the opportunity to lead his men out of the city.

After leaving the city, Shen Shuli planned to go up the mountain to see if everyone was still in the same place.

Su Yunhai immediately ran out from the hillside by the roadside.

"Ah Li! You're finally out! Are you alright?"

Su Yunhai waited here all night, and finally his daughter appeared.

Shen Shuli was surprised that her father would be waiting for her here. After a slight pause, she couldn't help but smile.

"Dad, what are you doing here? Where is everyone?" Shen Shuli asked with a sweet smile.

Su Yunhai circled his daughter several times to check on her, and only felt relieved when he saw that she was not injured.

"They've already gotten onto the main road and are on their way. I stayed here specifically to wait for you," Su Yunhai explained.

Shen Shuli couldn't help but sigh. "Oh, it's really not easy. After going through such a long detour, we've finally gotten onto the official road."

"Come with me, I have something to ask you."

Su Yunhai's face was cold and stern. He glanced at his daughter, then led the way up the hillside and found a secluded spot to wait.

Shen Shuli didn't know why her father was so serious, and she followed behind him with some trepidation.

He quickly tried to think of what he had done to make his father so angry.
