Paranoid Raiders Manual [Quick Pass]

If we say that before, Qiao Xi's view of the troubled times was only based on the one-sided description in the book.

Then in the next three months or so, she deeply understood the horror of troubled times.

……

When leaving the clan, the place agreed with Yanbai was in the western capital of the mainland.

And Qiao Xi is now located in the south, and the two directions are not close to each other.

Especially under the conditions of ancient times, walking with only two legs is really slow.

Not to mention that it is still in troubled times.

In the past few months, Moyo has traveled through two towns.

According to the description on the map, they still need to cross three cities again to reach the western capital.

The journey is long and not easy.

The money in the pockets was almost spent, but fortunately neither of them needed to eat, which saved a lot of money.

"One, two, three... sixteen..."

With candles lit, Qiao Xi sat at the table and counted the money.

The place where they live today is the cheapest inn in the whole city.

The sound insulation effect is generally not mentioned, and the whole room is pitifully small.

Except for a single bed, there is only this small table left.

Not to mention bathing, it is quite difficult to make a bed on the floor.

"Hey…"

Sighing melancholy, Qiao Xi silently put away the only broken silver left on the table.

Now their total property is only a little bit of silver, which is converted according to the market price, and they can only stay in the hotel for three or four days at most.

That is to say...

They are very poor now.

"Starting tomorrow, we can no longer stay in the hotel..." Throwing down these words with complicated emotions, she raised her eyes and looked out the window.

It was night at this time, and there was no sound outside.

But Qiao Xi knew very well that this kind of peace would not last long.

It has been a week since I came to this city. During this week, notices of recruiting troops have been posted everywhere in the city.

The city is depressed, even in broad daylight, there are not many pedestrians on the street.

People with a little money fled with their families long ago, and most of the people left behind were ordinary people.

"We can't stay any longer."

The longer the time, the less chance they will be able to leave smoothly.

Qiao Xi knew exactly what was going on now.

The situation in the world is chaotic, not to mention other things, the southern side alone has divided several forces, large and small.

Several forces tried and rubbed against each other, and no one could do anything to the other.

They are also lucky. In the past three months, taking advantage of the chaotic situation and Ruan Jie's special ability, they have lived in peace along the way.

It's just that the further you go in, the more you can feel the urgency of the situation.

This city is the second city they have visited.

From the moment I entered the city, I could clearly feel the desolation.

Qiao Xi couldn't imagine how serious the situation would be waiting in the future.

"We're going out of town early tomorrow morning," she decided.

"Okay." Responded vaguely, Ruan Jie propped her face, reflecting the candlelight, nodding her little head once and for all.

"Go to bed if you're tired!"

Seeing her keep 'chicken pecking rice', Qiao Xi's heart softened.

In the past few months, the two have been on the road, and it is indeed a bit tiring.

It's okay to be nourished by the sun, but Ruan Jie suffers.

Since the day of the change, there has been no chance to absorb nutrients.

Thinking of this, she frowned, and said: "After leaving the city this time, let's take a detour! There is a forest nearby, and when you pass through the forest, you can just replenish your energy."

In today's situation, avoid towns if you can.

Anyway, I don't have money to stay, so spending the night in the forest is better than being out on the streets.

"Um... good."

Ruan Jie has no objection.

"go to sleep!"

After finishing speaking, Qiao Xi blew out the only candle in the room.

……

……

In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight falls from the window.

Amidst several screams, the silent city opened the curtain of chaos.

"Help...I don't want to go! Mother! Mother! Help me..."

"Please, gentlemen, don't take my son away! Please..."

"what--!"

"Mother! Mother!!!"

...

A few screams and weeping sounded the saddest music in the city.

Standing quietly by the window, Qiao Xi saw a 'hell on earth' through the window.

The people in the inn had already run away, and no one remembered to remind them.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them lived in a relatively remote place, they might have been surrounded by this group of officers and soldiers in their sleep.

What she was most worried about happened.

During the two-month recruiting process, the city's rulers finally couldn't take it anymore.

If no one comes to join the army, go 'please'.

Using forced means to select strong men to work for themselves, the entire city, with such a large population, can always make up enough people.

And now, they are faced with such a situation.

The city gates are closed, and there is no way to escape.

This place has become the back garden of the 'predator', ready to be picked by anyone.

"This is how to do…"

Frowning, looking at the chaotic crowd on the street, Qiao Xi bit her lip, very worried.

I decided to go out of the city last night, and today I encountered the closure of the city.

What are they going to do now...

The ancient city gates were so thick and heavy that it was impossible for one person to open them.

If you want to open it, you must get the consent of the officers and soldiers.

Although Qiao Xi is skilled, her abilities are limited by herself.

In such a situation, it is a bit helpless,

-

"My lord! Please let my son go!"

"Please..."

"I'll give you all my money! I'll give you all my money! I just ask you to forgive me..."

...

The elderly woman knelt at the door of the shop, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

On her side, her young child was being dragged out by officers and soldiers.

This is her only child, and she must not be caught and sent to die on the battlefield.

"Go away!"

Annoyed by her crying, the centurion who was ordered to arrest the strong man angrily raised his leg and kicked him.

These common people are usually protected by them.

Now it's a critical time, but they are all hiding at home, refusing to come forward to apply.

Abominable.

Thinking of this, the centurion turned around and ordered, "Drag away."

"Yes!"

"Don't! Don't!!!"

After all, she is only a woman, and how can she beat so many big men.

Even if she tried her best to stop it, it would be nothing more than a fly shaking a tree.

Xu Shi realized this, and after several counterattacks, the woman fell to the ground and burst into tears.

"Murder! Officers and soldiers kill!"

"Help! Help!"

...

Sitting on the ground regardless of her image, she can't care about anything for the sake of her own children.

"damn it!"

The woman's sarcasm really made the officers and soldiers stop in their tracks. They all looked at each other and looked at the centurion in unison.

And being stared at by so many subordinates, the centurion, who was originally impatient, was completely angry.

Pulling out an official knife from his waist, he slashed at the woman on the ground without hesitation.

In an instant, the yelling stopped, and the woman fell to the ground.

Blood oozed from under her, infecting the street in moments.

"mother--!!!"

Seeing his mother being killed and being tied up with his own eyes, the young man began to struggle as if he had gone crazy.

Turning a blind eye to his struggle, the centurion shook his blood-stained long knife, and said coldly: "The city lord has an order, and those who disobey the order - kill on the spot!"

As soon as these words came out, the street was silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, there was endless despair.

This knife to scare chickens and monkeys has chilled the hearts of many people.

It is useless to resist, they are like fish on the chopping board, they can only be slaughtered.

-

"... "

Witnessing all this with her own eyes, Qiao Xi closed her eyes and slowly closed the window.

This is troubled times...

This is war...

Only the common people suffer...

"Let's go!"

Suppressing her surging emotions, she took a deep breath and said to Ruan Jie, "We must leave immediately!"

This inn is not safe, they must find a way to get out of the city as soon as possible!

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Ruan Jie moved her nose, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

……

……

*

With Ruan Jie's help, both of them felt very low on the road.

But if you want to leave the city, you can only open the city gate.

In this case, no matter how much they hide it, it will not help.

The switch of the city gate is at the inner end of the city wall, and it can only be touched by passing through the officers and soldiers stationed around.

And this... just can't be done.

"Hey…"

Taking Ruan Jie to hide in a certain alley, Qiao Xi felt dizzy when she analyzed the current situation.

This is how to do…

There are a lot of officers and soldiers stationed beside the city wall, and they keep changing shifts.

Even if you can stun one or two, you can't stun all of them.

The chances of them being discovered are still very high!

It's not easy to open the city gate, I'm afraid the city lord is also guarding against this.

"Don't be afraid."

Perhaps her expression was too serious and nervous, Ruan Jie who was standing by her side raised her hand to caress her.

Smooth ten fingers covered the back of Qiao Xi's hand, and squeezed it soothingly.

Afterwards, Ruan Jie said briskly, "I have a solution."

"What can you do?" Looking at her in surprise, Qiao Xi didn't care about her small movements of kneading herself, and quickly asked, "What can you do?"

"That's it..." Yan Hong's lips moved, Ruan Jie glanced at the city gate, and said hesitantly: "...Kill all these people."

"As long as they are all dead, it will be solved."

The more she said it, the more she felt it made sense, her eyes lit up, and she continued: "And if they die, there will be no more wars!"

"The elves will be saved!"

She is so clever!

Since war is so terrible, human beings have bad intentions towards elves.

Then just let them die!

As long as all human beings are dead, there will be nothing in this world that can threaten the elves anymore!

"Seventeen, what do you think?" she asked.

The smile is shy, pure like an angel.

However, it was such an angel that made Qiao Xi shudder.

"How can you think like that?!"

I couldn't believe that Ruan Jie would have such an idea. She said bluntly: "Not everyone in the world is heinous. Although I want to save my people and hate war, I will never think about killing people casually."

With a very complicated mood, Qiao Xiyu said earnestly: "Ruan Ruan... I know you just want the elves to live a normal life, but your approach is very unacceptable."

As if teaching a child who doesn't understand anything, she slowly said: "Many people and things in the world can't be solved by killing..."

The Phantom, who was born not long ago, is like a newborn baby. Qiao Xi felt that it was necessary for her to help her establish the correct three views.

"Oh…"

After being reprimanded by her, Ruan Jie pursed her lips, very unhappy.

She felt that her idea was not wrong.

Humans are a troublesome and ignorant race. They bully the strong and the weak, and love to kill each other.

It's so hard to say, it's better to just kill it... She also took the opportunity to have a good meal.

Besides, if there are no human beings in this world, I don't know how wonderful it would be!

"All right…"

Sighing secretly, Qiao Xi reached out and grabbed her arm, and walked into the alley: "We have a long-term plan for going out of the city... Now let's find a place to stay."

After all, you can't keep running around in the city.
