The village chief sighed, "It's good that they're gone, it's good that they're gone... Those who stayed behind, neither human nor ghost, who knows how many more people they would have killed. It's good that they're gone."

"How can you talk like that?" Su frowned and said, "They chose to sacrifice themselves to save you."

On the way to Baicun, Fan Xiao had already explained the real way to pass through the checkpoint to them.

Knowing that so many villagers in Hongcun had chosen to sacrifice themselves in order to fight against the Ghost Goddess, they felt a profound spiritual shock.

Before the villagers of Hongcun transformed into mountain spirits, they were all human.

Humans fear death.

Perhaps occasionally there will be people who are not afraid of death, but tens of thousands of people are like this, sacrificing their lives for the same goal... This is a great phenomenon.

As self-interested players, they cannot do this.

Therefore, they were shocked.

I also feel admiration.

Now, hearing the village chief of Bai Village speak to the villagers of Hong Village in a slightly reproachful tone, Su couldn't hold back any longer.

The villagers of Baicun had almost killed them before, so she didn't have a good impression of the village chief and naturally wouldn't be polite when she spoke to him.

Just as Su was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on the village chief, Fan Xiao reached out and stopped her.

Condemnation does not mean sarcasm. When venting their emotions, some people will forcefully anchor a hypocritical "reason" as an outlet for their emotions.

This can be considered a form of self-comfort.

The person who criticizes fiercely is not necessarily the one who hates fiercely.

On the contrary, they may be the saddest person.

Fan Xiaochao asked the village chief, "You seem to know a lot about the situation in Red Village? Do you know what methods they will use to help players complete the game?"

"I didn't know that before."

The village chief's voice was somewhat low: "Later, when the weather changed from sunny to cloudy, we found that many people in Hongcun had stuck some notes on their bodies with some hints written on them... Gradually, we learned about the situation in Hongcun."

"During that period, the number of people in Hongcun seemed to have decreased sharply. We saw fewer and fewer people with umbrellas on cloudy days."

"The villagers who leaked the information have probably all been eaten," Tanya guessed.

"Yes, they are the same as us, they are also food of the Ghost Queen."

The village chief's eyes welled up with tears as he said this: "Young man, thank you, thank you for destroying the Ghost Queen and fulfilling their wish."

“No, my wish has not yet been fulfilled,” Fan Xiao said. “Before handing over his power to me, the village chief of Hong Village entrusted me with taking you away. I have come to fulfill my promise.”

"No," the village chief shook his head, "The Ghost Queen has disappeared, and the Mountain Spirits have been eliminated by you. There is no danger here anymore, we..."

"He wants you to leave and never come back here."

"...Then let's leave."

The village chief did not refute this further.

Fan Xiao nodded and said, "It's a very correct decision. However, we can't say that all the dangers here have been eliminated."

"This instance space still exists and could very well be reused by the evolution game to generate new instances. At that time, you may find yourselves in a new crisis."

"Even if this place loses its instance space characteristics from today onwards and becomes a real space, without fantasy matter as a foundation to protect it, you could be drawn into a new instance at any time."

Upon hearing this, the village chief looked at the villagers behind him.

The original villagers of Bai Village have mostly died out.

Of the two hundred-plus people, most are innocent individuals randomly drawn into the Red and White Village; they come from various districts and nodes.

Fan Xiao's reminder made the village chief sigh inwardly, extinguishing the last bit of attachment he had for Bai Village.

He was a native of Baicun. Even though it was a terrible place, it was still his home, the place where his parents and children were buried. But he was willing to leave his hometown so that the survivors could live a peaceful life.

"Thank you for your help, young man."

The village chief looked at Fan Xiao, his eyes filled with uncertainty about the future.

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "I have many good qualities, and keeping my word is one of them. I have never broken my promise so far."

“I have made a promise to the village chief of Hongcun, and I will naturally keep my word.”

"Don't worry, I will take care of you after we get out. I will not leave until you are settled. I will protect your safety and provide you with food, clothing and shelter."

Hearing Fan Xiao's assurance, the village chief breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The confusion and fear in the hearts of the more than two hundred villagers in Baicun behind them also dissipated considerably.

The young man in front of me seems trustworthy.

Otherwise, you can just leave after clearing the checkpoint; there's absolutely no need to come back to White Village.

Surely they can't have come back just to mess with them, right?

The village chief said, "Young man..."

"Just call me Lao Fan," Fan Xiao reminded him.

"..."

"Why don't you take a look at my age, and then at yours? Do you think it's appropriate for me to call you Old Fan?" The village chief was momentarily speechless, but quickly composed himself and said, "Anyway, thank you."

"You've already thanked me."

"I thanked you on behalf of the villagers of Hongcun just now, and now... I thank you on behalf of the people of Baicun."

The village chief's tone was very sincere.

He then turned to look at Tanya and the others, and continued, "And you... I'm sorry, we lied to you, we..."

“Let’s not bring up the past,” Tanya interrupted the village chief. “If we were from Bai Village, we wouldn’t be much more noble than you.”

"Pack your things, take some essentials, we'll leave in half an hour."

Fan Xiao reminded everyone.

The village chief nodded, said no more, and led the villagers away from the village entrance.

After half an hour.

The villagers of Bai Village, who had reunited at the village entrance, twitched at the corners of their eyes as they looked at the giant airplane that had sprouted a pair of feathered wings.

“We’ll take the empty road,” Fan Xiao laughed. “The empty road is faster.”

The village chief looked suspicious, hesitated for a moment, and finally led the villagers into the strange plane.

At this moment, Xiao Tian approached Fan Xiao, pushed up his glasses, and asked in a skeptical tone, "That crab can even transform into an airplane... Speaking of which, can this thing really fly? It's so big, and it carries more than two hundred people. Can it really fly by flapping its wings? I don't think it's scientific."

"If you talk about physics in everything, where would psionic energy come from?"

Fan Xiao waved his hand: "You guys go up too, let's leave here together."

Two minutes later, the players and villagers boarded the little crab plane.

Fan Xiao stood on the nose of the plane, looked up at the sky, and gave the command to fly.

His mental strength has recovered considerably, and he can fly with more than two hundred people without any problem.

In any case, his mental strength is now in the A-level range.

With a flap of its feathered wings, the giant airplane took off.

What drives the activities of flesh and blood organisms is "programmed will energy".

This thing is not just simple energy, or rather, it is a very special kind of energy; otherwise, it would be impossible to make a pile of rotten flesh move.

It can make rotten flesh walk, so it can also make rotten flesh fly.

Walking requires long legs, flying requires wings—flesh-and-blood creatures obey the laws of physics, but not completely.

On the other side, after feeling the turbulence, the villagers of Bai Village all turned their gazes to the side—Fan Xiao had thoughtfully created small windows for them to see out of the plane.

In the villagers' view, Bai Village is becoming more and more distant and smaller.

The surrounding area also shrank rapidly under the visual effect, and in no time, the entire Baicheng area was encompassed in the villagers' view.

The fog had long since dissipated.

The view was crystal clear.

Looking at that land, they all sighed in surprise—this place that had trapped them was actually...so small.

Some people laughed out loud, their voices tinged with self-deprecation.

Some people shed tears, seemingly remembering their loved ones who are buried in Bai Village.

Many people remained silent, as if they had become accustomed to silence.

Whoosh... A strong airflow surged in, and the plane began to accelerate.

Fan Xiao gave the order to close all the small windows.

Baicheng was thus cut off from the villagers' sight.

A surge of acceleration came as the plane sped up, taking off from the skies above White City and gradually moving away from this cursed place.

……

Partition 011 is a partition that is merging with the ninth dimension.

The prerequisite for integration is that the forces within the world divisions must be unified on the surface and a legitimate game government must be established.

In these types of zones, the construction of super cities has generally already begun. The initial cities built will certainly not be that exaggerated in scale, but as fantasy materials are continuously acquired and the city's foundation is continuously expanded, the super city will eventually take shape.

Settling the villagers of Bai Village was simple—find a strategically important city like this, and the rest of the settlement work was simply dealing with interpersonal relationships.

In this regard, Fan Xiao felt that he was quite good at it.

Yes, he is very good at making friendly interactions with people and winning them over with his noble character, making them willingly help him.

There are still more kind-hearted people than not in this world.

Of course, ultimately, it's mainly because of his strong interpersonal skills.

Take Owen, for example. At first, he looked down on him, but after a period of friendly interaction, the other party was impressed by his strong personal charm and began to show him very strong goodwill.

They even started to admire him.

Strong communication skills, that's how you can be so carefree!

Fan Xiao composed himself and looked down.

After leaving White City, the little crab plane flew for a distance before arriving over Yellow City.

The architectural style of the city below is significantly more modern than that of Baicheng.

White City was swallowed up by the dungeon, and no one dared to go there normally. It was completely isolated from the outside world, and with the threat of the Ghost Queen looming over it, its civilization level had been stagnating.

Meanwhile, the outside world continues to move forward at a normal pace.

Therefore, Fan Xiao was not surprised to see the huge gap between the two cities.

To his surprise, there were no human inhabitants in Huangcheng.

There were traces of life, though—the flesh-and-blood creature he created landed and explored the city, discovering traces of human life dating back a month.

In other words, the people of Huangcheng left the city a month ago.

"My guess should be right. District 011 is indeed building a megacity, and the population is moving to the megacity."

Fan Xiao confirmed his conclusion.

Supercities are not randomly located; they are usually built in areas with a high density of time-space stations to facilitate simultaneous connection with multiple stations.

Fan Xiao manipulated the flesh-and-blood creatures to search for intelligence in the city. They quickly located the nearest megacity, Lach City, through various signs and some leftover paper documents.

Without delay, he immediately gave the little crab plane the command to turn and fly towards Lach City.

"I wonder if I'll run into Bai Zhi?"

Fan Xiao thought to himself.

He planned to settle the villagers of Bai Village and then go to find Lu Baizhi.

The luck you accumulate in dungeons is for finding your way around.

However... given Lu Baizhi's luck, he might not even need to actively seek him out.

The other party is very likely waiting for him in Lach City right now.
