Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

Phosphorus Pentoxide: It turns out that those demons were transporting air stones.

Lemon: Damn, isn't that like transporting money? What's the exchange rate between Air Stones and Alliance Coins in the gathering place?

Alps: One pound of air stone = 100 alliance coins.

Lemon: Then wouldn’t it be possible for a demon to make a fortune by simply robbing a group of luck stones?

I'm not a traitor: Warm reminder, there are low-level demons involved in the escort, and it will be hard to tell who will rob whom.

I'm not a traitor: If you fail to rob and are captured by demons, they will send you to mine.

Lemon: Where do they mine? In the valley?

Dian Chong, take me away: Don't you read the post? Didn't Phantom Tank post the interrogation record?

Lemon: The text is too long, I don't want to read it.

Phosphorus pentoxide: It is in the valley, and under the ancestral tomb of Fangjia Village.

Cat-faced Thunder God: Huh? ?

Tianji Liao Wuhen: Huh? ?

A salted fish who missed his stop: Huh? ?

A bunch of people who browsed the comment section without reading the post were instantly blown away by what Oxygen said.

Tianji Liao Wuhen: Under the ancestral tomb? Then if they are mining now, isn’t that the same as digging up their ancestral tomb?

Cat-faced Thunder God: Oh my god, these people are so cruel. They are not just making smoke come out of our ancestral graves, they are directly digging a big hole in our ancestral graves.

Cat-faced Thunder God: How was this discovered before?

Dian Chong, please take me away: This is not difficult. It is said to be the ancestral tomb. If someone wants to bury him, then we have to dig down. As we dig, we will find it.

This news really shocked the players' three views.

For native Chinese people, 'ancestor worship' is basically engraved in their bones.

If Fangjia Village had behaved like this in ancient times, it would probably have been rumored to be an evil village.

However, their village chief was indeed possessed by a demon.

It seems that there is some truth in doing this kind of thing.

Lemon: Do these people know they're helping the demons mine? The miners aren't from their village, and the people transporting the ore aren't from their village either. So they don't have any suspicions at all?

Lemon: And after so many years, the villagers are bound to encounter monsters a few times.

Yu Wenbobo: Fang San insisted that he had never seen any monsters, and said that he always thought that those captured evil people were mining and transporting the minerals.

Alps: The other villagers don’t know, but I have definitely seen Fang San. I could tell from his expression at a glance.

Alps: And you’re still hysterically saying that I have no evidence. It’s so funny. Do you need evidence?

Lemon: Um, have we reached the stage where we only need coordinates?

Cat-faced Thunder God: How many people did they arrest? They've been mining for so many years, making so much money.

Phosphorus pentoxide: The confession stated "I don't know how many people", and I guess even he himself couldn't count them.

Lemon: That's damn right.

Lemon: Did the leader tell us what to do with these people?

Yu Wenbobo: Several people who were responsible for human lives were executed directly. There were also two younger ones who seemed to have no idea what had happened, so they were sent to labor reform.

Dandan's smile: Oh my god! Labor reform?! Are you trying to steal our mission?

Yu Wenbobo: Currently we are planning to let them continue to clear the road on the mountain. There are not many players who will accept that task.

Because the ring road is on the west side of the gathering place, the density of monsters is a level lower than that on the east side.

In addition, the work location is far away, and it takes a lot of time just to go back and forth. If Xiaoxing hadn't mentioned some task rewards, it is estimated that no player would be willing to go there to build roads.

Tianji Liao Wuhen: We should need a supervisor, otherwise what if these two people run away?

Yu Wenbobo: Uh...it seems not necessary. The robot said he has a way.

……

At this time, on the west side of the gathering place, by the Yunshan River.

Several women were busy unloading things from the car. The two drivers couldn't help, so they could only sit in the pickup truck and look at the gathering place with torches lit in the distance.

In the distance, you can seem to hear some people shouting and laughing.

"Old Zhao, are these people really the Yunhe Army?"

The person who was speaking was Xiao Li, the nephew of Uncle Li and Xiao Xing's cousin. His driving skills were taught by Lao Zhao who was sitting in front of him.

However, Lao Zhao didn't like Xiao Li calling him Master, so Xiao Li followed the others in the gathering place and called him 'Lao Zhao'.

"That's probably the case. They have weapons and so many people."

"Perhaps this is a new base of the Yunhe Army, and it has some strategic value that we are unaware of."

Old Zhao thought again about the people who suddenly surrounded him when he came here in the afternoon. Almost everyone of them was holding a weapon, and the way they looked at them always seemed very strange.

But it seems that there is no malice.

Is Yun and Jun like this?

"Will they really go to rescue Uncle Li?"

Xiao Li continued to ask, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

"...Yes."

After saying these two words, Lao Zhao himself was a little silent.

can you?

According to Fat Tiger, Fangjia Village has a four or five meter high wall, as well as abundant food, sufficient weapons and manpower.

Will the Yunhe Army fight to the death with Fangjia Village just for these few refugees?

Even if Rouzong was also captured, she was their comrade-in-arms.

But in this world...

Sacrifice is something everyone must get used to.

Sacrificing the future of more people for the sake of one person's life is not benevolence.

But stupid.

"Eh? Are there some people coming over there?"

Just when Lao Zhao was silent, Xiao Li saw from afar that someone seemed to be walking out of the gathering place. The leader seemed to be a young girl, followed by a cart and two people.

The direction of movement seems to be towards them.

The two men immediately got out of the pickup truck, but they did not reach for their guns or show any signs of alert.

Instead, he took a few steps forward and just stood there.

Soon, those people arrived in front of their temporary camp, and Xiao Li finally saw clearly what was on the cart.

There were several bags of grain and some pickled meat.

When the girl saw the old man and Xiao Li, she smiled and said:

"I'm Xia Keyu, the assistant to the leader of this gathering place. Knowing that you came here in a hurry, our leader was worried that you didn't bring any food, so he asked me to bring some to you."

"These bags are food, and these are the meats we pickled ourselves. They should be able to help you get through this period."

"This……"

After listening to Xia Keyu's words, Xiao Li and Lao Zhao were stunned for a moment.

They looked at the food and pickled meat on the cart, then looked at the girl in front of them, and their worries about the future and the emotions they felt at the moment instantly mixed together.

"us……"

The two wanted to speak, but the words would not come out.

They didn’t know what to say, nor did they know if what they wanted to say was right.

The woman who was putting things away in the camp also noticed the commotion here.

After a while, the same woman came out, but this time she was not wearing an apron. Instead, she was dragging a sack and walked towards them step by step.

Oxygen, who was following behind Xia Keyu, recognized her, but compared to the afternoon, this woman now looked more tired, and there was an unconcealable sadness between her eyebrows.

However, when she reached the edge of the camp, she looked at Xia Keyu and forced a smile.

"Hello, I'm their Uncle Li's wife, my name is Xu Ping."

"This is the last bit of air stone left in our fleet. I was planning to deliver it to you personally later."

She put the sack in front of her and continued:

"Thank you very much for allowing us to camp nearby. These air stones are our thank you gift."

After saying that, she picked up the sack again, then staggered all the way to the cart, and with a sudden effort, put the sack onto the cart.

After doing this, she wiped the sweat off her face as if relieved.

Xia Keyu also sighed softly, then turned and walked in front of Xu Ping.

"Well, we'll accept these air stones, but we'll send you the corresponding amount of food later."

"Don't worry, just rest here for a while. We will organize people to rescue your people."

Then she turned around to look at Oxygen, and then at the food and meat on the cart.

Oxygen immediately understood.

"Xiao Ai, let's send the food in for them."

After saying that, she pulled the cart and took Xiao Ai to the camp.

The two men didn't walk too far. They almost reached the back of the pickup truck and started moving things down from the cart. Xiao Li and Lao Zhao immediately trotted over to help.

After all, there weren't many things, and soon, only the bag of air stones was left on the cart.

"Then let's go back first."

Seeing that the woman in front of him was still a little uneasy, Xia Keyu took the other's hand and spoke softly with a smile.

"Aunt Xu, don't worry. We are the allied forces, the regular army. Our enemies are only demons and those evil people who have fallen into depravity."

"If you need any help, you can also come to the gathering place to find us. They are happy to help."

As she spoke, she also looked at Oxygen and Ai who were pulling the cart back outside the camp.

"Right."

"That's right, that's right."

The two nodded immediately.

I'd be happy to help. You know, during the event, even the task of helping Sister Keyu push the cart will reward extra military rank points.

For this kind of tasks, they will do whatever it takes, no matter how many come!

It doesn’t matter if I have fewer Alliance Coins!

Seeing the two people's somewhat exaggerated expressions, Xia Keyu smiled helplessly, then turned back to look at Xu Ping.

"If you have nothing to do, you can come to our gathering place and find something to do. We will pay you accordingly, and some jobs will even include meals."

Xu Ping nodded, and the anxiety on her face eased a lot.

"Well, let's go then."

Xia Keyu gently let go of Xu Ping's hand, then slowly took a few steps back, then waved to Xu Ping, Xiao Li, Lao Zhao, and the two children who were peeking at her from a distance.

"Goodbye~"

The three people gradually left.

Looking at their backs, Xiao Li subconsciously asked:

"Old Zhao, are we going to see where they gather tomorrow?"
