It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

Chapter 268 Combat

Then he added: "If you are afraid, let my uncle take you away."

Upon hearing this, the little fat man said stubbornly: "I, I'm not afraid."

His voice was a little shaky and his legs were shaking a little.

Then he turned around and whispered to the people below: "Second Uncle Ning, I, I want to go down."

When several other children saw this situation, they all had an expression that said, "I knew you would go down sooner or later," and even his sister Zhou Xiaoqing was no exception.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yu swung a whip and brought him down from above.

After coming down, the little fat boy started to mutter: "Mom, that spider is so big, I'm scared."

Zhou felt helpless about his character, which was not as courageous as his brothers, and she didn't know who he resembled.

Then, in order to train his courage, Zhou said, "Being afraid is useless. You have to find a way to defeat it."

The little fat boy muttered softly, "I can't beat it."

Didn't Zhou hear what he said clearly? She said to him, "If you don't know what to do, just follow whatever Huo Yun and the others do in the future."

It’s okay if you don’t learn. As parents, they can protect your child for a while, but not for a lifetime, so they will show him a way.

After hearing this, the little fat boy thought about it and nodded. Huo Yun and the others were more capable, so it would always be right to follow them.

But he still didn't go to the roof now, because his legs went weak when he saw those spiders.

When spiders passed by their place, perhaps because the smell around them was too pungent, they took a detour and headed towards the city, catching cockroaches in the sky and on the ground as they crawled.

Sun Yuexi said: "It seems he's gone."

Zhou Xiaoqing said, "There's more to come."

A few crawled away in front, and many more came behind.

Seeing this, Huo Yun whispered to the people below, "Dad, there are so many more coming, I can't count them all."

Ning Yan heard Huo Yun's words when he came out of the kitchen. He waved his hand to tell him not to worry, and then said to Huo Yun and Ning Yan, "How is it? Can you handle it?"

Ning Yu heard this and said, "Just shoot one arrow, I'm sure there will be no problem."

Huo also said: "I don't have any problem either."

Ning Jian warned again, "Brother, make sure to leave quickly after you finish spreading the seeds."

"Don't worry, wife, I know what to do." Huo said.

After that, he and Ning Lu left with their backpacks and bows and arrows.

Ning Yan wanted to use dust explosion this time to eliminate some spiders and, by the way, some cockroaches in the air, as many as possible.

Duan Zhili didn't know what Ning Jian had asked Huo and the others to do, but he still walked over and said, "Brother Jian, if there's anything I can help you with, just tell me."

Sun Huzi also said: "Yes, we are all in this together, we should help each other."

Zhou Youfeng also expressed his opinion: "Although we don't have Brother Huo's skills, we can still serve as a support."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, expressing their willingness to help.

Ning Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry for now. Brother and the others can handle it. If I need your help, I won't hesitate."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this.

Huo? had a basket of flour in his backpack. He did not act in a hurry, but instead lured the enemy by circling around in the spider circle, attracting most of the spiders nearby to a remote and uninhabited place.

Then take out the flour from the backpack and sprinkle it into the air, and then quickly leave the circle of flour.

Ning Lu, who had been following him not far behind, found the right opportunity and shot an arrow in the direction where Huo Yu had just sprinkled flour. There was a bundle of fire tied to the front of the arrow, which quickly ignited when it encountered dust particles in the air, causing an explosion.

Huo? dodged the vibration in the air, then looked back. The spider in the vortex had been blown to pieces, and the surrounding spiders affected by the explosion were all missing legs. They were limping and struggling to crawl, and they no longer had the speed they had just now.

Seeing this situation, Huo Xi thought to himself: How come my wife is so capable and can come up with such a great idea.

Ning Yu widened his eyes slightly when he saw this situation. He looked at the arrow in his hand and could hardly believe his eyes.

Ning Yan didn't tell him the power of this thing, and it was the first time he knew how powerful it was.

My brother is really amazing! Ning Yu exclaimed.

Ning Jing lay on the roof and asked Huo Yun: "Brother, what did Dad and Uncle do?"

"I don't know." Huo Yun's little head was also confused.

They stayed up there the whole time, not knowing what their father said to their dad.

As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion was heard not far away. However, it was a bit far away and the sound was not very clear, but they saw yellow flames.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and people's faces could no longer be seen a few steps away. The fire in the distant sky appeared particularly clear.

"It's on fire." Ning Jing stood up and looked into the distance and said.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoqing quickly whispered, "There are still spiders outside, you can't stand up."

Upon hearing this, Ning Jing quickly lay down on the roof again.

Huo Yun looked at the faint light in the distance and said, "Did Dad and Uncle order this?"

Zhou Youfeng's younger brother, Zhou Youqian's eldest son, Zhou Xiaolin, who was six years old, was also on the roof. Upon hearing this, he said, "That should be it, right?"

The adults in the house also heard the slight shaking sound, climbed up the ladder to the roof, and then saw the fire not far away.

Not long after that, another flash of fire appeared in another place.

The fire started very quickly, almost in a straight line, burning instantly and covering a large area at once, accompanied by strong vibrations around it.

Duan Zhili looked at the situation not far away and thought to himself: What kind of thing would catch fire in this way?

Ning Jian stuffed 100 kilograms of flour into the backpack that could only hold 50 kilograms of things, so Huo and his friends did another job and then returned home.

Ning Yan saw that they were fine, but still asked with concern: "How are you? Are you injured?"

Huo smiled and said, "Don't worry, my wife, I'm not hurt."

Ning Yu also nodded to indicate that he was not injured.

Huo Yun and Ning Jing flew down from the roof and asked, "Dad went to set the fire?"

Huo said, "Yes."

It is too dangerous for children to learn this, so Huo? doesn't plan to tell them now, and will wait until they grow up.

Then Huo changed the subject and said to everyone, "There must be a lot of spiders at night. Everyone, be careful tonight."

Dust explosions are not suitable for crowded places, especially cities. The use of this method is limited. It is difficult to get rid of all spiders at once. Moreover, spiders come from all directions, and many may have entered the city now.

We don’t know how many there are. Even if the situation around them is resolved, there are still some in other places, so we must not take it lightly now.

"Understood." Everyone said immediately.

Even if Huo didn't say it, they knew that tonight would definitely be a sleepless night and they were all ready to fight.

Ning Yan opened the map and took a look. The dense red dots on it all came from the west, so he whispered to Huo:

"Brother, didn't you say before that Xia Cang was next to Guang Feng and Guang Tong? Could these spiders have come from there?"

Huo shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."

After all, they haven't communicated with the outside world for three months because of the snow, so they are not very clear about the situation in other prefectures.

Then Huo Yu said, "Wife, we can't just sit here and wait for death."

Once spiders appear in the city, it will inevitably cause unrest. When people flee in all directions, some will definitely run in their direction.

Although they have taken precautions, if someone runs here, it will definitely attract a large number of spiders, so they still have to make preparations for both situations.

If the spiders were attracted here, they would find a way to escape. If they were not attracted here, they could naturally stay safely in the villa.

Ning Yan understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.

Then he asked everyone to go back and pack up their things and be ready to evacuate at any time. At the same time, he was looking at the map to find the best evacuation route.

Seeing that they were safe for the time being, Huo Yan took Ning Yan out a few more times. Following Ning Yan's instructions, he set off several explosions in places where there were many spiders, killing many spiders.

Flames erupted all around, lighting up the black sky.

Xia Cang City is not an important border area, so there are only more than 3 officers and soldiers responsible for defending the city. When they first saw such a big spider, half of the soldiers were so scared that their legs went limp, and their combat effectiveness was reduced by half.

The people in the city screamed in fear. The spider came back with great force. They wanted to escape but there was nowhere to go. They couldn't beat it either. Finally, when they saw the huge fire outside the city, the general guarding the city had an idea and thought of using fire.

So before long, fires broke out in the city and people fled in all directions, all heading for places where there was no fire, but they did not dare to stay away from the fire, for fear that they would be eaten by spiders if they did.

Then everyone took a torch in their hands and threw it at the spider when they saw it coming, so they could save their lives.

Because Huo? kept causing explosions around, which inspired the people in the city, it was rare to see people running in their direction. They probably knew that this was the wilderness, and there was a greater possibility of spiders running over. Therefore, no unexpected situations happened here.

The fire burned all night and did not stop until dawn, but most of the spiders had died. Some died, some escaped, some were injured, and some were struggling on the ground half-dead.

The air in the city was filled with the smell of burnt meat, burning smoke, and blood. The mixture of these smells made people feel nauseous.

Almost all the shops and houses in the entire city were burned down, leaving only dilapidated walls and black ashes.

The smoke and dust floating in the air made the originally clear sky much darker.

The little kids in the house stayed up all night, and finally fell asleep as the morning light began to break.

Ning Yan and Huo Yu brought the two children back to the house, and then Huo Yu said, "Wife, I'll take you to the city to have a look."

Ning Zhen asked curiously, "Take me with you?"

Huo? whispered, "While it's still dark, I'll take you to make some money."

After being here for so long, he has found out everything about the city. He knows where everyone's money is hidden and how many locks are on the door.

Now that the fire has started, many houses and properties have been destroyed overnight. However, some wealthy families have their money kept in more than one place. He wants to take advantage of the chaos to make some money with his wife. If he doesn't make money now, he will have no chance later.

Moreover, the city has been burned down like this. It is likely that the people here will leave soon. So much money cannot be taken away, and it will be wasted.

Even if he could take it away, it would probably be robbed along the way. Rather than letting others benefit, it would be better to benefit himself, so he wanted to take his wife to make money before dawn.

Ning Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said, "Let's go."

Who doesn’t want to do something that makes money?

Then the two of them went out happily.

Ning Yu looked at the two people leaving and asked curiously, "Mom, what are brother and Brother Huo doing?"

Why do you look so happy?

Bai Lifen shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Then she added, "Breakfast is ready. You and your father should go and have some. I'm going to bed first."

She is old and really can't stand staying up late. After staying up all night, she was so sleepy that she had no mood to care about what Ning Yan and the others were doing.

After hearing this, Ning Yu stopped paying attention to Ning Jian and the others and went to have breakfast with Ning Chengyong.

Huo took Ning Yan out for a walk, and when they came back the enclosed space was full of gold, silver and banknotes. He didn't want any jewelry or jade.

Some jewelry and jade were custom-made by others, and they were afraid that they would be recognized in the future. Only gold, silver and silver notes were issued uniformly by the Donglin State, so no one could recognize who they belonged to.

However, Ning Yan couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of Xia Cang Prefecture. Although the small space was full, they didn't take it all. Each family only took half and left half for them.

After returning home, the two of them ate something and went back to the house to sleep. At this time, most of the family members had gone to bed.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by a knock on the door.

Huo Yu woke up first, startling Ning Yan.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Ning Yan opened his eyes, looked for a moment, then closed them again and asked.

Huo said, "Someone's knocking on the door. I'll go check it out."

Maybe Zhou Youfeng and the others were sleeping too soundly, so they didn't hear the knock on the door.

Ning Yan hummed when he heard this and continued to sleep.

Huo Yu put on his clothes and went out. Before he reached the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Youfeng's door opened.

Zhou Youfeng yawned as he walked out the door. Seeing Huo, he asked, "Brother Huo, who is that?"

After staying up all night and feeling nervous, he fell into a deep sleep after falling asleep, so he didn't hear the knock on the door at first.

When I heard it later, I got up quickly.

"I was just about to go and see." Huo said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Youfeng followed him outside.

When I opened the door, I saw a group of people standing outside. They were holding bags in their arms. They were a little messy, their hair was not combed, and there were traces of burns on their clothes.

Huo asked, "Who are you?"

One of the men said in an impatient tone, "We are the owners of this villa. You are renting our house. Please let us in."

The man was of medium height, slightly fat, and looked a bit strong. He looked like the stupid son of a landlord.

A large number of houses in the city were burned down and were no longer habitable. These people suddenly remembered that there was a villa for rent in the suburbs, and it was the same villa that sold strawberries. So the family discussed it and decided to try their luck here.
