I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies Chapter 413 The Desire For Food

Just as he was guessing, Constable Li woke up.

Before he could open his eyes, a series of cream spilled out of his mouth. His face was scrunched up, and he was obviously in extre pain.

"Constable Li, please wake up. What happened just now? Who attacked you?"

Advisor Hu asked impatiently.

"What happened? What's wrong with ?"

Constable Li finally ca back to his senses after being called a few tis. However, his mind was in a ss, and he didn't even understand what Advisor Hu ant by his question.

He watched Advisor Hu's mouth open and close, trying to help him understand Advisor Hu's aning through his gaze.

"Have you forgotten what you ca here for?"

The county magistrate had also noticed that sothing was wrong with him. He was in a daze, and his eyes were sotis in a state of emptiness.

"My Lord, did this subordinate accept a mission? I rember it was still dayti just now. How co it's so late now?"

Constable Li finally sobered up a little. However, when he saw his surroundings clearly, his expression suddenly beca strange.

"Dayti? What's the last thing you can rember?"

The county governnt finally realized what was wrong. After Constable Li woke up from his coma, he seed to have forgotten what had happened during this period of ti.

"I was ordered to guard outside the rice store and help Grand Master maintain order."

As expected, Constable Li's answer confird the county magistrate's guess.

He didn't look like he was pretending, so the idea of getting any information from him was going to be in vain.

"Sir, do you think we should continue chasing?"

Advisor Hu couldn't help but remind him when he saw the county governnt office deep in thought.

Even if the group of survivors walked slowly, they would still travel a long distance after a long ti.

And they obviously couldn't leave this small city for too long. After all, the dicine in the victims' bodies was limited. Once they woke up, they would imdiately enter the city and never leave again.

"Chase. Of course we're going to catch up."

The county governnt was decisive and quickly gave the order.

He also rembered what the refugees had said. Perhaps the problem with Constable Li was caused by that couple.

However, he had the advantage in numbers, so he wasn't afraid of any sches from the two.

Moreover, he was an official of the Imperial Court. He did not believe that they would dare to take the risk of killing him.

"Leave soone behind to send Constable Li back. Keep a close eye on the movents of the refugees outside the city. Once they show signs of waking up, light the herbs again."

To be on the safe side, the county governnt gave a second order.

The herbal smoke was very harmful to the human body. Usually, there would be so side effects after using it once. If it was used a second ti in a very short ti, the damage to the victims would be irreversible.

But at this ti, the county governnt could not care so much.

In order to protect the majority of the people, he had to have the determination and courage to cut his losses.

A man was left behind. He helped Constable Li up and staggered toward the direction of the small city.

The county magistrate and the others continued to follow the traces left by the survivors and began to pursue the other side of the mountain.

However, just as they reached the middle, they heard a "bang". The leading pathfinder seed to have hit sothing. His head jerked back and he staggered a few steps back before stopping.

"What's going on?"

The county governnt imdiately signaled for everyone to stop.

"This subordinate... This subordinate seems to have knocked into sothing."

The man was only dizzy for a short while, but he was in a much better state than Constable Li.

"Did you hit sothing? But there's nothing in front of you."

Advisor Hu also said in surprise, his voice trembling slightly.

"I don't know either. There was nothing in front of , but I felt like I had hit my head on sothing. I almost fainted."

"Maybe his situation is the sa as what happened to Constable Li just now."

The county governnt thought of how Constable Li had fallen. There was no difference between the two of them, except that one had fainted and the other had not.

"But what did he hit? There was nothing there."

Advisor Hu had already seen soone trying to reach in that direction, but there was no resistance, and his arm easily reached in.

"Sir, there's nothing here."

The man who was hit couldn't believe it either. He reached out to touch it again, and his face suddenly showed a frightened and confused expression.

"That's impossible. I clearly bumped into sothing just now."

He was eager to prove that he wasn't lying. Just then, another man who was walking forward fell to the ground, shocking everyone.

"Don't move! Stand still and wait!"

The county magistrate ca back to his senses and shouted at his subordinates who were like headless flies.

"Those with ropes, tie yourself up first. Then, throw the ropes to the others, one after another!

His reaction was fast. Since the transparent wall appeared and disappeared like a ghost, he could connect the people together. Even when he threw the rope, he could also judge whether there was a "trap" in the empty space.

Mo Ruyue was in the space and could see every move of these people outside clearly. She couldn't help but sneer. "You're quite smart."

Although she was the master of the space and didn't need to spend much energy to enter and exit at will, she still needed a lot of control to precisely control the space barrier like she did just now.

Since the county governnt had already co up with such a self-righteous idea, she could take a break for now.

Everyone outside the dinsion, including the county governnt, had been tied together with a rope. This was originally intended to be used to tie the survivors up.

Now, he could be considered to have made the best use of it.

Strangely enough, after the rope was tied, no one bumped into the strange transparent wall again when they walked forward in a line.

The group tried to move forward and saw the traces left by the survivors.

"They're out of the mountain, so their speed won't be too fast. With the old, weak, won, and children as burdens, and the dark sky, we can still make it in ti even if we speed up."

Advisor Hu and the county governnt were walking in the middle of the crowd. He loudly encouraged the people in front and behind him.

Although these bailiffs and followers also voiced their agreent, their morale was clearly much lower.

If they were to be at a disadvantage right from the start, the blow to their morale would be too obvious.

Their motivation ca from their desire for food, but after experiencing these strange things and the sudden escape of the survivors, they didn't seem to have much hope.

"Everyone, keep your spirits up! Think about it, under such a natural disaster, they can still walk out of our city in good health. If they don't have enough food, they'll end up like the other victims."

"So as long as we can find them, we won't have to worry about food."

Advisor Hu used a second move, but the sa move had already been used once, and the effect of repeating it now was clearly not very good.

They walked all the way to the second half of the hill and saw that the end was just around the corner. Just as everyone was about to relax a little, sothing happened.

The man walking behind suddenly felt a breath on his neck, and his already tense nerves suddenly broke.

He jumped up with a cry, scaring the people in front of him. Then, he was brought down by the man who began to run wildly.

Fortunately, although everyone was in the sa boat and was easily implicated, it was also easy for everyone to work together to control the frightened people.

However, Mo Ruyue would not give them such an opportunity.
