s, the squad from W City began taking on missions according to regulations. They searched for supplies, cleared zombies, and transported large equipment. As long as the task was settled with crystal c...When Yu Da Jie heard the police's assurance, she finally felt at ease. She had finally resolved one thing and after seeing off the police, she began to recuperate. Three days later, she left the hospital holding her son.

After this incident, the husband finally became less stubborn and brought his mother to Changning City to take care of his wife. Upon learning that she had given birth to a grandson, his mother readily agreed to come to Changning City.

The atmosphere in Qiaojia Gou, where Lian Yi resided, had been somewhat agitated lately. Even Yao Mei, who only came back to eat and sleep these days, hadn't visited recently. She stayed at home, cooking for Lian Yi, and spent the rest of her time holed up in her own house.

Two days later, a middle-aged man approached Lian Yi.

He glanced at her belly, which was round with pregnancy, then swept his gaze over her face. There was a look of haughty condescension in his eyes as he spoke.

A month ago, did you go to the county hospital Did you see my son

Ripple seemed a little lost, and shook her head.

I don't know you, and I've never seen your son.

My son's name is Joe, and he had an ultrasound at the county hospital.

The middle-aged man said impatiently.

Ripple still shook her head and said:

That day, I don't know what happened either. I was especially sleepy and ended up sleeping all the way to the hospital. When I woke up, I was in the ward with only Joe Erge (my second older brother) and Xiao Liu (my youngest brother). There was no one else.

Ripples said something that was half true and half false.

The man glanced at the ripples, as if trying to discern whether what they were saying was true or false.

Sitting next to him, Yaomei asked:

"Uncle, has Brother Shuqiang not come back these two days" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Well, he said he'd be back at the end of the month, but he didn't come back. I called the hospital and they said he had taken leave and returned, but I still haven't seen him.

"Are you on your way back Our phone signals aren't good here, maybe that's why we didn't get the call."

"Little sister, don't worry," she comforted.

"It's fine usually, but something happened over there these past few days, so I'm a bit worried about Shuoqiang."

Because the ripples were right there, the man didn't explain anything particularly clearly, but Yaomei understood.

"Uncle, don't worry, Shuqiang has a real job. Besides, all the street vendors have been called back by the village head. Once this storm passes, everything will be fine."

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

The middle-aged man didn't linger long, turning around and leaving after asking his questions.

Three days later, on a silent night with not even the moon in the sky, when the wind howled fiercely, Ripples, who was fast asleep, suddenly woke up without any warning.

She patted her chest and listened intently to the surrounding sounds. Aside from her younger sister's soft snores (since the old woman died, her younger sister slept with her at night, claiming to take care of her, but really out of fear of ghosts), there was no other sound.

Ripple's eyes narrowed. She was certain something had happened in the village. This village always kept dogs, not just as pets but also for protection against outsiders. But now there wasn't a single bark, not even the chirp of an insect. It was an unnerving silence.

A ripple graced her lips, a smile betraying the knowledge that her chance had arrived.

She slowly got up, took out a large needle she had hidden long ago, lifted her younger sister's quilt, and pricked heavily at the Tanzhong point, shoulder well point, and Huan跳 point in her younger sister's abdomen.

Because she was both fast and accurate, Yaomei opened her eyes because of the pain, only to lose consciousness the next instant.

Ripple touched the other person's breath, confirming that they were still alive. She then took out a package containing some food, put on her clothes and slung her bag over her shoulder. Just as she was about to push open the door, a gun was pointed at her forehead.

"Don't move, don't speak! We are the police!"

Ripple, upon hearing the other's words, felt the chill emanating from the gun ease and let out a breath. She trembled as she raised her hand and said:

"Are you really police officers I was sold here!"

"Go inside first."

The person lurking in the darkness whispered a command.

The ripples flowed like water from good to evil, retreating back into the house. Just as she was about to light a lamp, she was stopped.

What's your name

"Han Jing!"

"Identity card number."

The other party, seemingly to verify Ripple's identity, immediately asked.

"34XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX."

The ripples quickly reported their ID number.

The man immediately put down his gun and said to Ripples:

“I’m here to rescue you, People’s Armed Police. The whole village is surrounded right now. You’d best stay inside your houses and don’t go out. What about the elderly person with you and that girl”

Although the newcomer put away his gun, his voice was still very low.

"The old woman drowned in a latrine a while back, and I knocked my sister unconscious. I'm planning to run away today."

Ripples immediately said.

"Take me to see her."

"This way"

Ripple turned, ushering the man in black combat attire into the inner room.

After the two entered, Yao Mei remained motionless. The man checked the girl's nose and pulse on the bed before asking Lian Yi:

How did you knock her out

I used acupuncture to stimulate her acupoints.

Then, he smoothly reported three acupuncture points.

As the man was about to ask a few more questions, a sudden gunshot rang out in the silent night.

"You stay here, lock the doors and windows, don't go out, let's wait until dawn."

"Okay."

Ripples immediately nodded in agreement. Anyway, going out was just a pretense for her. When Qiao Shuqiang's father came to the door during the day, she guessed that the police had already launched an operation.

After the ripples carried people away, she bolted the door and then went into the house, locking it and shutting the windows. She even wedged the door shut with a stick.

Then, she grabbed a boning knife from the kitchen and stood by the window, observing the yard in the darkness.

After the first gunshot, more gunshots rang out from within the village, along with shouts and angry curses. She vaguely saw flickering flames.

The ripples didn't turn on, still silently watching outside, and then he saw a black figure jump into the yard.

The newcomer, after jumping in, rushed straight to the door and pounded on it, saying

"Yo-yo, open the door! Something terrible happened in the village! Take that woman and run!"

A ripple appeared on her brow as she listened, recognizing the man's voice as that of their neighbor.

The ripples pressed against his throat, and he responded with a suppressed voice:

Here comes!

Then she moved the wooden stick aside, opened the door, and stood in the shadows without turning on the lights. As the man stepped into the room, she aimed her bone knife directly at his eyes.

"Yo, why didn't you turn on the lights!!!"

Blood spurted out, the man clutching his eyes and falling to the ground, roaring:

"I'll kill you, you bitch!!!"

Ripples had already dodged the attack before it came, and as she heard what the other person said, she picked up a stick from the top of the door nearby and smashed it directly into the back of their head. The man fell silent instantly, collapsing to the ground.

Ripple gasped, this body although it had been nourished for a month, still felt weak. After tossing and turning half the night, she vaguely felt some pain in her stomach.

"Han Jing, you have to hold on. We're almost out of here. Don't give up on yourself. Think of your family."

Ripple murmured to herself.

Actually, these words were all spoken to the girl who possessed her. Under Ripples' nurturing, the girl's scattered soul had stabilized and she would occasionally be clear-headed for a while, so Ripple knew about everything she did. immediately left the river along the original path.Only then did the reflection in the river completely disappear. The beastmen who had watched the whole thing glared at Si Tian with hatred. She was...
