Chapter 240
After hearing the story, Ci Wan's slightly sunken eyes felt a burning sensation.0
A warm spring seemed to have been injected into the stagnant lake of her heart.0
"Did Xiaoxiao really say she would help us avenge our enemies?"0
Her voice carried a hint of uncertainty.0
Sun Xiaoming nodded, "Absolutely true. She said it herself. She mentioned that once you wake up and recover, she'll lead us to exact our revenge!"0
Ci Wan was deeply moved, her eyes filled with a newfound determination.0
Over the next two days, Yun Xiaoxiao spent most of her time in the space, handling some base affairs and enjoying her leisure time.0
She exercised, read books, and savored delicious food.0
Her days were leisurely and carefree, more comfortable than ever.0
Although she had read many books in her previous life, the conditions back then were limited, and the quality of the books varied.0
This time, she had collected many books herself.0
Therefore, besides reading medical books, she also focused on studying military strategies.0
The leisurely time quickly passed.0
Two days later, Ci Wan had fully recovered.0
Yun Xiaoxiao and her group prepared to set off, and two vehicles left the base in succession.0
As they approached the base where Chang Li was located, the cars stopped.0
"Aren't we going further?"0
Sun Xiaoming curiously stuck his head out of the window.0
Yun Xiaoxiao stepped out of the RV.0
Her attire today was somewhat peculiar.0
It looked tattered and dirty, resembling that of a homeless waif.0
She gazed at the large farm below the distant hill and slowly smiled.0
"To capture the thief, you must first capture the king. Since we've come a long way, we should give them a big 'surprise.'0
Chang Li isn't good at pretending?0
Then we'll use his own tactics against him."0
This was one reason.0
The other reason was that the enemy had a large number of people.0
They had only brought less than ten people.0
As the saying goes, to subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest form of strategy.0
If they could take out the entire group without lifting a finger, why exhaust themselves with a drawn-out battle?0
"Stay here and wait. Once you hear my signal gun, you can drive down."0
This signal gun was scavenged from an abandoned prison and had never been used before.0
"I'll go with you."0
Lu Chen expressed his concern.0
Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No, Big Brother, you look too formidable. It would raise their guard. I'll go alone."0
Hearing this, Lu Chen had no choice but to give up.0
Watching Yun Xiaoxiao's departing figure, Nie Yizhou smirked.0
"The little devil is about to play the weak again. What a pity, I can't see it firsthand. It must be quite a spectacle."0
On the other side,0
Yun Xiaoxiao arrived alone at the farm's entrance.0
Before she could get close, she noticed several large wooden stakes standing at the gate.0
Each stake was adorned with rotting corpses, emitting a foul stench.0
She merely glanced at them before proceeding toward the gate.0
"Halt! What do you want?"0
A few men at the gate stopped Yun Xiaoxiao and her group.0
"Uncle, I haven't eaten in days. Do you have any food?"0
Her dirty face was framed by a pair of innocent, wide eyes, her expression pitiful.0
It was impossible to tell that she was a little devil capable of wreaking havoc.0
The men exchanged glances.0
One of them smirked, "Want food?"0
"Mm-hmm~" Yun Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.0
"Then follow me."0
He signaled to the others and led Yun Xiaoxiao inside.0
The farm was vast.0
As soon as they entered, they saw many people working in the fields.0
Men, women, the old, and the young, all were present.0
Despite the cold weather requiring sweaters and thick coats, some of them wore tattered shorts and singlets.0
They shivered uncontrollably, barely able to hold their tools.0
If they paused for even a moment, they would be struck with sticks or whips.0
Several people Yun Xiaoxiao observed had wounds all over their bodies, a horrifying sight.0
The entire farm was filled with people treated like slaves, forced to do exhausting and filthy work.0
"Damn it, trying to fake being sick, huh? Don't you want to live?"0
As they walked, a curse rang out from a distance.0
Yun Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw an elderly man, about sixty years old, curled up on the ground.0
He wore tattered summer clothes, his entire body covered in wounds.0
Especially his hands, red and swollen, with many blisters.0
Some blisters had burst, caked with mud.0
The sight made her heart ache.0
Next to the old man was a fierce-looking man.0
He cursed and kicked the old man while swinging a stick, ready to strike.0n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The old man, like a withered leaf, was too weak to even beg for mercy.0
Just as the stick was about to land on the old man, a thin ice needle shot swiftly and fiercely into the man's wrist.0
"Ah!"0
The man cried out in pain, and the stick fell to the ground.0
He clutched his wrist, his face contorted in agony.0
"Who?! Who's attacking me!"0
The man angrily cursed.0
He looked around, his gaze briefly landing on Yun Xiaoxiao.0
But soon, he dismissed her.0
The little girl looked like she might cry at a glance.0
It couldn't be her.0
Who could it be then?0
He angrily scanned his surroundings.0
"What bad luck!" He cursed again.0
After kicking the old man one more time, he left, clutching his wrist.0
"What's wrong with him?"0
The man in front of Yun Xiaoxiao sneered, then turned to her.0
"Move faster! Stop dawdling!"0
His true nature was now fully revealed.0
If she were a truly frail little girl, she might have been scared to tears by his roar.0
But who was Yun Xiaoxiao?0
She wasn't someone who could be intimidated by a mere shout.0
She silently continued following him.0
After walking a bit further, they arrived at a row of thatched cottages.0
As they approached, a disheveled man emerged from the first cottage.0
From inside came the sound of a woman sobbing.0
From the second cottage, the sounds of a man venting and a woman pleading could be heard.0
Yun Xiaoxiao, though she hadn't experienced such things, could guess what was happening inside.0
"Don't just stand there. Get in!"0
The man pushed Yun Xiaoxiao toward the last cottage.0
The light dimmed as she entered.0
When she could see clearly, Yun Xiaoxiao's eyebrows furrowed deeply.0
Not only were there women inside, but there were also children!0
Without exception, each had some charm.0
Yun Xiaoxiao's gaze darkened, a fierce killing intent flashing in her eyes.0
These beasts!0
