Chapter 817: Devastation and decay

Why do you always suspect that I will solve problems with violence?
This is prejudice and discrimination against the Fubing Method!
Just because we practice the Fubing method, it doesn’t mean we can only use violence to solve problems.

Isn’t it because our superiors always assign us jobs where problems can only be solved quickly by violence?
You guys are just pretending not to see when I'm honestly moving bricks at the construction site, right?

Wang Yunxiao felt very aggrieved and filled with indignation.

Don't I know what Tianmen looked like in the early 19th century? We have learned about it in history textbooks.

The sky gradually brightened and the streets became deserted.

After sending Li Mingshen and his books back to his mansion, it was already noon when I came out, and there was still no one on the street.

There's not even a dog.

It was not until he reached the river that Wang Yunxiao saw the shabby fishing boats in groups of three or four on the river, and the workers loading and unloading goods at the dock.

It looked almost inhuman.

He had a dark, thin and shriveled figure, a long braid hanging behind his head, and almost no decent clothes on his body except a pair of shorts.

Rather than being a human, it is more like a tool that looks like a human.

Back in South City, the streets seemed a little more lively.

Smoke rose from the exquisitely decorated tobacco shops. Guests who had stayed overnight staggered out, yawning and adjusting their clothes in a daze.

A rich young man who was so thin that he looked almost unrecognizable, with his melon-shaped hat tilted on his head, staggered past Wang Yunxiao and accidentally bumped into him.

Before Wang Yunxiao could react, the man fell to the ground with a thud and died instantly.

There was a lump of ice in the corner where he fell. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it was a human shape.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was a child of about seven or eight years old. He had no clothes on and was curled up in a ball, frozen to death on the street.

There aren't many living people on the street, and most of those who are alive look no different from the dead.

This city had just experienced the ravages of war, and unlike the outcome of the war in another world, this city had not only been trampled upon by the coalition forces of the great powers, but had also just signed a humiliating and unequal agreement.

Standing on the street and looking around, all the shops that look decent are owned by foreigners. The streets that are a little cleaner and tidier are, needless to say, all the concessions of various countries.

All that was seen was desolation and devastation. After its futile resistance, this ancient city had suffered extremely cruel revenge and devastation. It was only half dead left, lying on the ground silently licking its wounds.

Helan was right. If she brought the child back, she would die.

Yan Yu'an, who arrived a few days earlier, rented a house nearby to accommodate the time travelers found here.

The situation for those who come here through time is not optimistic.

Some people didn't understand the situation after traveling through time, and were beaten up for no apparent reason.

Some people couldn't stand seeing foreigners showing off their power in the streets, or getting into conflict with local court officials.

In short, some people suffered serious injuries and some even died.

Among them were also brave warriors who caused a lot of noise. Three soldiers from the Qilin Army came across, broke into the government office with bare hands without saying a word, snatched guns, and then fought their way out.

When they were found by Yan Yu'an, the three brothers were robbing a foreign bank and even pried open the vault.

Apart from the glorious deeds of these three brothers, the one who made the biggest noise was the female thief from Yanzimen who made the headlines of local newspapers. If she didn't do anything, it would be fine, but once she did, she killed 18 people. According to the tabloids, the female thief not only took away the gold and silver jewelry of the Zhu family, but also shook the eggs in the kitchen until the yolks were loose.

Such cruel means are simply outrageous.

Is this still the sister Xiaolan that I know?
Does the environment have such a big impact on people?

Due to the lack of information channels, Wang Yunxiao did not know the whole picture of the whole incident. But he had to find Helan as soon as possible, otherwise... the people here would return after finding almost everything. He would not delay the progress of the entire action plan because of her alone.

And no one knows where Helan is hiding now.

Wang Yunxiao got her home address from another Helan, but when he went there, it had been sealed off by the government.

Although these visitors from another world tried to cover up their appearance with their clothes, they did not have whips on their heads and their spirit and aura were different from those of the locals, so they were very conspicuous when walking on the street.

The good news... let's just call it good news, is that many people mistakenly took them for Fuso soldiers.

Therefore, no one took the initiative to report to the police.

How to find Helan in such a big city has become Wang Yunxiao's biggest problem now.

time does not wait.

Fortunately, Helan did not really disappear.

When I was asking for news in the restaurant at noon, I heard the guests next to me chatting.

"Have you heard that something happened at the home of Boss Xue over at Erli Bridge?"

"What's the matter?"

"His house was robbed! It was the female thief mentioned in the newspaper!"

"How do you know it was a female thief? Did you see her while climbing over the wall?"

"Climbing over the wall is not a good idea! Didn't you hear what the people at the government office said? That female thief specializes in killing people with rat poison. She mixes rat poison with sugar, pours it into the pot, and the whole family dies at the feast!"

"What a jerk! Where did this ruthless person come from? I've never heard of this method before. First it was the Zhu family, then the Xue family. Why do I feel like she's specifically targeting the Japanese?"

"If you ask me, it's probably one of the senior sisters who practices boxing who has returned."

"They're all dead, so where are they from? And the name they used is the Swallow Sect. Have you heard of it?"

"never heard of that……"

Wang Yunxiao picked up his wine glass, turned around, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Everyone, please tell me what this female thief you are talking about is about?"

The people who were eating were all staring at his short hair in a daze. Someone asked cautiously, "Are you Japanese?"

Wang Yunxiao remained calm and said, "I went to study abroad in Japan and just came back not long ago. Yesterday I saw in the newspaper that there was a female thief? I heard she was a great beauty."

Hearing that he was an international student and spoke an authentic local dialect, the others finally let down their guard and said jokingly, "She must be a beauty, otherwise how could she be targeted by the pervert Zhu Laosi?"

"Zhu Laosi? Is that the Zhu family mentioned in the newspaper?"

"Who else could it be? It's that bastard Zhu Siye, who relied on his business with foreigners and converted to foreign religions, and is so arrogant. He uses chicken feathers as a token of authority, and when he sees a pretty girl, he says she is a Boxer and captures her. After abusing her, he forces her parents to pay to redeem her... I say, this grandson deserves to be punished!"
