What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"We're set up as a married couple," Jiu Ge said seriously, showing no sign of embarrassment whatsoever.

“Yes, she and I are husband and wife,” An Chen said, squeezing Jiu Ge’s hand.

Jiuge took a breath and tried to remain calm.

"..." The three remained silent for a few seconds, with two of them experiencing a great deal of turmoil in their hearts.

After a moment's hesitation, they decided to skip over this intriguing detail.

Because the villagers' memories had been erased, all five of them used disguises.

To the villagers passing by, An Chen and his group were just ordinary farmers they knew.

After exchanging a glance with Jiuge, An Chen stepped aside.

After scanning the crowd, Jiuge crossed her arms and said, "An Chen and I received information that the Zhang family has a suspicious stone. After analysis, that stone should be the source."

"When Niu Da and Niu Er were acting strangely, they told me that there were strange glowing stones in Gouzi Bay and stuff, hahaha, I didn't understand a word of it." Gong Jun scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Niu Da and Niu Er were the names he gave to the two brave oxen he met on the first day.

Over the past few days, Gong Jun has successfully established a revolutionary friendship with the Niu Niu.

Thinking about the fate of the cattle, he sighed repeatedly.

"If it's a glowing stone, the association probably sent us here just to make us risk our lives to retrieve it," Feng Kai yawned expressionlessly.

He was already a little tired after spending five days in the illusion.

Seeing some of the cruel scenes firsthand would not do Feng Kai any good.

He can't forget the memories; if he weren't so carefree, this kind of task would just be torture for him.

"The phantom is fine now... but when I see everyone injured or maimed, how am I supposed to control myself from trying to save them?" Yu Bei gritted her teeth, her expression so angry she looked like she was about to hit someone.

"Seeing is believing." Jiuge glanced at her three colleagues, each talking to themselves, and tossed her hair.

"I will set up small hiding and protective barriers around you later, so don't wander off," she said calmly.

Jiuge always exudes an aura when facing anyone other than An Chen.

Upon hearing this, the three of them fell silent.

Despite the arguments and noise, the task remains the top priority.

History must not be desecrated.

……

The sound of an airplane rang out.

"The airship is here!"

"The airship is here!"

On the path, a thin boy was running back desperately, trying to send a message to the people of Gouzi Bay.

In that era, most people had no concept of airplanes, bombs, or the correct names for them.

Many things were unknown to people at that time.

The boy was still running, but it was too late.

Upon hearing the noise, the younger and shorter villagers outside hid in the haystacks, while the older ones ran frantically towards their homes.

Not long after, several planes were circling in the sky.

Like a demonstration, scattered bombs fell from the sky.

It exploded suddenly upon landing.

The enemy didn't drop many bombs, but with just that few rounds of ammunition, the surrounding scene became both crazy and terrifying.

Before An Chen and his group's eyes, the thin boy was instantly buried under bricks and mortar.

On the ash, the ghostly figure of a boy rose up.

Several thatched huts were bombed flat.

Limbs, dust, and rocks flew around in the sky.

The cries and screams grew louder and louder.

In an instant, phantom images of evil spirits with different appearances floated out from all directions.

Men and women, young and old, whether young or old, strong or sick, no one is spared from the disaster.

The scene was so tragic and desolate that even Feng Kai, who had been expressionless the whole time, was stunned.

The smell of cigarette cartridges, dust, and blood is very strong.

An Chen and the others walked towards the open space in the distance without looking closely.

I can't bear to look, I can't watch, I can't bear to watch.

It cannot be faced directly, nor can it be thought about in detail.

Jiuge's expression turned deathly pale, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose.

……

It took Jiuge and her group several hours to recover.

Although I tried to prepare myself mentally, I still couldn't handle it when I actually faced it.

Midway through, Jiuge sent out illusions to find the Zhang family, no longer standing there in the middle of the battlefield with everyone else.

Putting aside everyone's mental state, the protective barrier will eventually break down over time.

Stones are key to the illusion.

The illusion lasted so long, so Grandma Li must have held on until the very end.

An Chen was the most composed among them, besides Feng Kai.

At this moment, he was also frowning, his head aching.

At first, people could hear cries and screams everywhere, but now they can't hear them at all.

After tidying up their dusty clothes, An Chen and his group headed towards the Zhang family's house.

Judging from the messages coming from the illusions, the vast majority of the surviving residents of the bay have been gathered in the Zhang family compound.

The previous mosaic prisoners have been rescued and are now gritting their teeth as they talk to the other mosaic people.

The old man, Grandma Li, Little Egg, and Little Twist were all restrained on the ground.

The stones in Grandma Li's pocket were glowing.

This time, no one except Grandma Li could see the light.

Chapter 92 Corpse

The few remaining relatively intact buildings on the road surface were also branded with marks of axes and bayonets.

The few houses that weren't hit by the bombs all had their doors wide open, and there was no one inside.

Different kinds of things were thrown out like junk, and all sorts of boxes were looted.

On the way, the fat woman who had been by the well earlier had fallen to the ground, her body blown to pieces, and the phantom of an evil spirit hovered over her.

The little stray cat that An Chen and Jiu Ge petted a few days ago was the same; its scorched fur stood on end, its eyes were wide open, and its body was already stiff.

The phantom of an evil spirit floated on its body, its appearance also showing red eyes and ruffled fur.

Looking up, there were at least a hundred animal carcasses and phantom images of evil spirits of all sizes that could be seen with the naked eye.

"Damn it! They're all bastards! If those mosaic figures still had their souls here, I would tear them to pieces and annihilate them!" Yu Bei roared, kicking a bloodstained, broken bayonet half a meter away.

"Keep your voice down, what if there are still people with pixelated faces?" Feng Kai muttered, pinching his nose.

"Hahahaha, even if those bastards hear us, they won't be able to see us. They'll just think it's a ghost story." Gong Jun laughed, but his tone revealed his anger.

Jiuge kept her head down and remained silent, lost in thought.

"Once we get there, I'll point out who Grandma Li is. Then we'll see if you can handle the stone in her pocket." Seeing that Jiu Ge wasn't in a good state, An Chen turned around and whispered instructions to the three people behind him.

"If you feel you can't do it, don't act rashly; that rock is quite dangerous."

Although the visions showed that all the captured villagers had been searched, for some reason Grandma Li's stone was still safely in her pocket.

Previously, An Chen and Jiu Ge did not share the illusionary vision with the other three people, so Gong Jun and the other two did not know exactly who Grandma Li was.

After giving his instructions, An Chen patted Jiu Ge's head.

Taking a deep breath, Jiuge turned around and hid behind him, not looking around.

……

It took An Chen and the others about twenty minutes to get to the Zhang family's house.

Because of the ruins, many roads were blocked.

Countless men and women were bound hand and foot inside and outside the Zhang family compound. As more and more people were brought in, the previous order was disrupted.

With so many people gathered together, An Chen and his group had very little room to move around, making it relatively difficult to find people.

It took them a while to move to the more open central position.

Next to him were rows of mosaic figures, holding bayonets, surrounded by captured Taiwanese people.

Mosaic, the prisoner who had been captured by the residents of Gouziwan, was now standing to one side, supporting his back and muttering something under his breath.

An Chen and Jiu Ge looked around at the villagers, and in their minds, they accurately identified the Zhang family.

Seeing that Little Twist, Little Dog Egg, Grandma Li, and the old man had no injuries, Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Twist and Little Dog Egg huddled together with their heads down. The old man stood up straight with a determined look in his eyes, while Grandma Li had empty eyes and a strange expression.

An Chen stopped and looked at Gong Jun, Yu Bei, and Feng Kai, then pointed at Grandma Li.

Feng Kai didn't react, he just glanced at Yu Bei and Gong Jun.

Yu Bei and Gong Jun nodded and got up to cross over, but were startled by the sudden sound and stopped.

"The group of people on Binlu Road are drinking!" the leader of the mosaic-clad men suddenly shouted.
