A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Shen Shuli looked at the map; the nearest county to them, Shangang, was still half a day's journey away.

She was worried, wondering if a water source could be found in the city.

The riverbed where we were yesterday was already cracked and dry, so it's easy to imagine that the surrounding area for miles must be very short of water.

If water cannot be replenished, it will take at least seven more days to reach the next county town.

The team's truckloads of water will most likely not last seven days.

"Father, how about this? You find me a few men, and we'll go ahead to find a water source. You stay here to lead the way," Shen Shuli suggested.

Su Yunhai was anxious because the team was moving slowly and they were consuming a lot of food and water every day.

If supplies cannot be replenished, the team will not be able to hold out for long.

"Okay, I'll go find someone."

Soon, Su Yunhai found eight helpers.

These eight people were all nimble teenagers. Although they didn't have much strength, their agility was enough.

Those strong and capable men were needed to escort supplies and could not be mobilized at will.

After all, the team was carrying a lot of supplies, which needed to be protected.

Su Yunhai distributed enough water and dry food to everyone for a day.

The nine people, lightly equipped, quickly distanced themselves from the main group.

Shen Shuli planned to take eight people to Shangang County to check out the situation first.

Originally, it would have taken the team two hours to reach Shangang County, but Shen Shuli and her nine companions arrived in just one hour.

The cost is that the nine people need to drink more water to replenish their energy.

The city gate of Yamaoka County is low, only about ten feet high.

Many disaster victims gathered in Yamaoka Prefecture.

Once you pass through Yamaoka Prefecture, you'll have more options for heading south.

Originally, Shen Shuli was worried that the city gates of Yamaoka County would also close early.

They refused to let any refugees or disaster victims enter.

did not expect.

The city gates were wide open, with no soldiers guarding them and few refugees remaining outside the city walls.

The nine people successfully entered the city.

But the scene inside the city surprised everyone.

Several groups of rioters were looting and vandalizing throughout the city, and the city's residents had long since fled in terror.

The city streets were in chaos, with countless people fleeing in panic to avoid the rioters.

The scene before my eyes was like a barbarian invasion, where not a blade of grass grew.

Shen Shuli felt a tightness in her chest.

The actions of these mobs were no different from the ruthlessness of the barbarians in the rumors.

If those rioters continue their southward march, engaging in such unbridled burning, killing, and looting, will the people along the way still have a chance to escape?

Before Shen Shuli and the others could even react...

A mob then set their sights on them.

"Boss, there are a few people over there carrying water pouches. Let's hurry and rob them, or someone else will steal them from us."

A tall, thin man excitedly pointed at Shen Shuli and the others, calling out to his companions.

Shen Shuli immediately put everyone on high alert and quickly assigned tasks.

"Shen Ziqian, you take Li Tao and Li Bo to the right side. Zhang Yongjie, Zhang Shengjie, and Chen Xiaofei, the three of you go to the left side."

"Wu Liangliang, Liu Daqiang, you two and I will use our bows and arrows to cover everyone from the inside."

“If you want to get through the famine safely, you must stand on your own two feet. This is a good opportunity for you to gain experience.”

"You don't need to be afraid, I will support you."

Shen Shuli held a bow and arrow, radiating a fighting spirit.

The other eight immediately drew their weapons and found their positions according to Shen Shuli's instructions.

This mob numbered more than thirty people, several times their size.

Moreover, they were all burly, menacing-looking men, each carrying various weapons.

It's obvious at a glance that this mob has taken many lives and is definitely not a kind person!

Fortunately, these teenagers had already experienced several life-or-death situations and were relatively calm.

The main reason they were able to overcome their fear was because Shen Shuli was there to support them.

Before the rioters could get close, Shen Shuli fired three arrows in one go, instantly killing three of them.

The mob was taken aback by the fact that the only pretty girl in front of them possessed such superb archery skills, and they immediately became wary.

Seeing that his prestige had been damaged, the mob leader, looking displeased, ordered an attack.

The mob immediately brandished their weapons and charged towards Shen Shuli's group.

Seeing that Shen Shuli had given the signal to attack, Shen Ziqian immediately led Li Bo and Li Tao to charge forward.

Zhang Yongjie, Zhang Shengjie, and Chen Xiaofei immediately launched an attack.

The mob never expected that these young kids would be so skilled, killing and injuring several of them in a short time.

Wu Liangliang and Liu Daqiang were not very good archers, but they were still able to hit two or three people, helping Shen Ziqian and the others to deal with several attackers.

If Shen Shuli hadn't been so accurate, the two main attack teams wouldn't have been able to kill so easily.

While covering everyone else, Wu Liangliang and Liu Daqiang were still looking for an opportunity to retrieve the arrows.

Mobs are newly organized groups that rely entirely on brute force and ruthlessness to gain influence.

Despite their numerical advantage, they were utterly powerless against a strong, skilled, organized, and disciplined team.

Shen Ziqian and his two teams had no need to worry about anything else; they just charged forward and fought with great enthusiasm, growing stronger with each battle.

In just a quarter of an hour.

More than thirty rioters all fell down.

Of course, Shen Ziqian and the others did not kill them; they only beat them until they were incapacitated before stopping.

For these people, killing still carries some psychological burden.

Shen Shuli was very satisfied with their performance.

He led his team away from the city gate and continued to survey the situation inside the city.

There were many mob gangs on the street, and other gangs also wanted to take advantage of Shen Shuli and her friends.

But they were fortunate enough to witness the strength of Shen Shuli and her group, and were immediately terrified and scattered.

I wandered around several streets in the city.

Shen Shuli and her nine companions fought several battles, and their reputation spread far and wide, so no mob gangs dared to target them again.

The nine men searched for several wells in the city, but they had all dried up.

The wells that weren't dry were all filled with mud, and you couldn't get any drinkable water from them.

Shen Shuli had no choice but to lead everyone to search for a well from house to house.

Finally, they found two wells that had not yet dried up in the south of the city.

"Ah Li, these two wells that still have water have been occupied by a large group of rioters. What should we do?" Shen Ziqian asked with a frown.

There are two three-courtyard houses nearby with a deep well in each, and the courtyards are crowded with people.

The most powerful mob had already seized control of the two wells.

If you want to fetch water, you have to exchange it for a high amount of silver or grain.

Most importantly, these two groups of rioters numbered in the thousands, far beyond what the nine of them could handle.

Shen Shuli breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the well was still producing water, it meant that the underground water source had not completely dried up.

"It's not a big problem. Let's go back and meet up with everyone first. We can figure out a solution after everyone gets into the city," Shen Shuli said cheerfully.

She has no shortage of food and money in her space.

But she wouldn't use these things to appease these mobs.
