Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 309 - 301: Underground City Construction 11

Seeing the team members so enthusiastic, Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn’t stingy.

She shouted loudly: "Everyone, kill one enemy, earn double work points; kill more than five enemies, reward 10 contribution points; slay the enemy’s leader, reward with quadruple work points, double contribution points."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to be on a high, extraordinarily brave, as if their vanished health bars were instantly refilled, full of fighting spirit.

Even Fang Zheng and Lu Jingtian, who were ambushed in the rear, couldn’t sit still anymore, and joined the battle with their brothers.

Each was full of enthusiasm, with eyes scanning the enemy’s heads emitting a faint green glow, even more precious than gold.

This made the enemy soldiers feel as if their necks were being stared at by hungry wolves, causing goosebumps, unable to help but become timid, starting to hesitate in their actions. Before long, the situation reversed, and those who had been suppressed began to retaliate desperately.

Another person boldly flew in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, "Mr. Cheng, does your reward also include us?"

This person was a squad leader from Han Xifeng’s team, possessing Grandmaster strength, with a baby face that looked very harmless, but according to the system’s observation, this person was the fastest in their team.

"Of course, anyone participating in the battle today will be treated equally."

Upon receiving a confirmed answer, the counterpart was overjoyed, "Little person Yang Yang, thank Mr. Cheng for your generosity."

Cheng Xiaoxiao: Yang Yang, is it Yang from Pleasant Goat Yang? This person with a baby face looked quite pleasing, "Hey, Pleasant Goat..."

Just as the words were spoken, the excited person disappeared in a flash, only to hear his high-pitched voice from afar, "Brothers, charge, Mr. Cheng is giving away work points."

This shout stirred everyone, who were already quite formidable, with excitement, driving them to exert even more effort.

It was as if the white food was dangling in front of them, and the family wouldn’t go hungry anymore.

The snow kept piling deeper, making it impossible to go out and find food, which made food so much more important to them, something others couldn’t even imagine.

The Family Head had to care for the elders, wife, and children, calm clan conflicts, exhaustively thinking and laboring, but the resources falling to them were limited.

More than half of them had parents, wives, and children, even if they didn’t eat or drink, the entire family required significant consumption.

The portion for one person wouldn’t suffice to feed a family.

Before escaping, each family had some means to earn a living and skills, but now they were utterly useless.

Life was becoming ever more difficult, with many brothers’ families barely sustaining, relying on their wives for support.

Now the wives’ surplus grain was also low. After arriving at Taoyuan Village, wives were already exchanging their dowry for supplies at the supermarket opened by the 132th Regiment, barely easing the urgent crisis, but how much dowry could wives supplement, and how would they accept the wives’ support comfortably? It was only a last resort in desperation.

These past couple of days, the Family Head’s hair turned white from worry, with the clan elders preferring to eat up the mountain’s resources rather than lose face and pride, and forced the main family to find solutions.

Fury wasn’t just a day or two, but they, being of low status, weren’t qualified to inquire about clan affairs, only able to endure.

This time, the Family Head sent them out to help, expecting a life-or-death situation, unanticipatedly, Mr. Cheng somehow set up many traps along the way, causing the opponent’s losses to exceed half when reaching their side.

And although the patrol team of the 132th Regiment was weaker than them, their cooperation was seamless, their tactics unpredictable, catching the enemy off-guard.

Now Mr. Cheng was offering rewards, which was like a pie falling from the sky.

Earlier the brothers were quite envious of the fine goods in the supermarket, but unfortunately, the 132th Regiment didn’t sell to outsiders, only a few earned work points. Now they could also be the work-point group, their feelings beyond simple excitement.

Having work points equates to having food; with food, their families wouldn’t starve or freeze.

With temperatures plunging to new lows, several clan members had already perished from cold.

Other teams also had elders who couldn’t withstand the harsh winter, leaving only the 132th Regiment’s members strong and vigorous, having no ailments apart from being bundled up and limited in external actions.

How could they not envy? Now that there was a chance to improve life, even risking their lives, they would seize it firmly.

On the battlefield, because of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s strange moves, coupled with their mysteriously disappearing weapons, many soldiers felt a sense of dread, guessing if there was something supernatural in the mountain!

As more weapons disappeared, terror spread through everyone’s hearts, causing many to lose their lives, making them hesitant in fights.

Additionally, Cheng Xiaoxiao used her last two special bombs. They weren’t group attacks, were they? Just throw them into the enemy crowd.

It killed a large group, with many injured becoming disoriented; the special bombs contained Hallucinogenic Grass, causing soldiers in the smoke to start attacking one another, killing anyone they saw.

At this point, in their eyes, everyone apart from themselves was an enemy, causing havoc on the field, with screams echoing continuously.

You Changshi’s team gradually gathered soldiers around him, to prevent sneak attacks and also harboring thoughts of retreat.

The place grew increasingly eerie, even though they had triple the number compared to the enemy, they couldn’t withstand one bizarre situation after another, causing a chill down their backs.

You Sheng, valuing his life, saw things were unfavorable, dismissing face-saving, prioritizing life, and immediately ordered a retreat.

If not for Yuan Xiao coaxing him to attack these people, would he have demeaned himself to come?

Although he lost food, he had multiple granaries. In the mountains, these people would starve or freeze to death sooner or later due to the heavy snow, so why chase disaster?

The angrier he became, the less he liked Yuan Xiao.

"Retreat, retreat immediately."

The mountain was too mysterious, he never wanted to return.

He used deceit and schemes usually, where had he seen such formations?

Upon You Sheng’s order to retreat, the already chaotic team became even more disordered.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was pleased; this was the effect she desired.

As long as the opponent wasn’t of the same mindset, there would be loopholes to exploit.

Heh, the United Army was merely cobbled together from ragtag forces temporarily, not a single commander, dividing and breaking up was the most time-efficient and labor-saving strategy.

Yuan Xiao saw You Sheng leading his own people while fighting and retreating, leaving him alone to support, making success impossible, instantly igniting rage.

He shouted loudly: "You surnamed You, are you a coward? Being plotted against, you don’t fight back, retreating so easily. This is obviously the other’s deceitful trick, aren’t you embarrassed to admit this?"

"You brute, shut up. You caused me great loss, I’ll settle the score with you later."

You Sheng internally scoffed, fearing for one’s life outweighs fearing embarrassment.

Truly foolish.

This guy was a brute, only knowing fighting and killings, not trusting this guy’s nonsense, claiming climbing the mountain would recover lost food.
