Looking at the town in the north, which shrank into a small dot, Tang Xia frowned intensely. She had an intuition that there must be some major clues hidden in the town.

But right now, Tang Xia and the others had just consumed lots of energy in the battle earlier. They were all injured and it seemed that their injuries were not minor.

Although these system-assigned men had slowed down their attacks, they were still being produced non-stop and launching attacks against them. If they went on like this, Tang Xia and her people would definitely overdraw their strength.

The system-assigned men were deprived of consciousness and would not feel tired. However, their people were very alert. Coupled with the constant fighting, Tang Xia could see that everyone was relying on their consciousness to hang on.

“Let’s head back first. It’s not a good idea to continue fighting in this way. Let’s discuss what we should do next after taking a break,” said Tang Xia as she looked at Ye Yifan and Mu Chengxuan.

Right now, everyone was very tired. It was not the time to discuss problems. Their top priority was to treat their people as soon as possible and make adequate preparations for all the possibilities that might appear later.

Ye Yifan turned around and looked at the others. He felt that Tang Xia’s suggestion was advisable. After all, judging from the current situation, they had always been at a disadvantage.

“Listen to Tang Xia, let’s retreat back to the castle!” Ye Yifan said loudly.

He made sure that the people who were fighting could hear him, but his hands kept attacking.

Actually, all of them were aware of their current situation. However, they did not want to be the only deserter as they were afraid of how others would think of them. Now that someone initiated to rest first, they would definitely do as told.

The system-assigned men and Tang Xia’s people were in a tug-of-war state until Tang Xia’s team all stepped back.

They entered the castle and closed the gate tightly. The system-assigned men were blocked outside the door.

To prevent them from breaking the door open, they deliberately found a few thick sticks to put behind the door as an additional preventive measure.

Without the system-assigned men’s attack, the group of people dragged their tired bodies and fell onto the ground. They all tried to catch a breath and did not say a word. Emptying themselves was the best and fastest way to rest.

After a long time, seeing that everyone was properly rested, Tang Xia stood up while leaning against the wall and told everyone what she had found.

“When we were fighting against the system-assigned men just now, Ye Yifan, Mu Chengxuan, and l all found that the dead system-assigned men would all turn into a puff of smoke and float toward the small town in the north,” Tang Xia said while she stood and looked at her comrades-in-arms who were resting.

“So I was thinking, why not we go and take a look at that small town? We’ll definitely find some new clues.” While voicing out her suggestion, she also looked at the reaction of the crowd.

“I don’t agree!” As soon as Tang Xia finished her words, someone jumped out to oppose her.

Tang Xia looked at that person, who turned out to be a streamer from Cross-era.

Looking at this person, Tang Xia did not seem very surprised. When she was resting just now, she had already expected someone would refute her, so she did not say anything and waited for that person to continue.

“We are all injured now and our medical supplies can’t support us for a long distance. Besides, we don’t know when the system-assigned men will attack us again.” That person voiced his concerns.

That person continued, “As compared to dying on the road and being nervous all the time, it’s better for us to wait for them here. Since they will attack us, there must be a reason. We are likely to find some clues and maybe the person behind all this will come out.”

Hearing that person’s words, Tang Xia was silent for a moment.

She knew that what he said made sense, but her instincts told her that the things in the small town were more important. She must go.

“But we’ve already searched through this castle and found nothing. What if the system-assigned men barge in? By then, we’ll have no medical supplies. Won’t it be a turkey shoot?”

Tang Xia looked at everyone’s expressions and continued to speak her thoughts without giving others a chance to speak.

“If we go to that town, maybe we will find other supplies on the way. Anyway, it’s better than staying here and waiting to starve!” Tang Xia said with more confidence.

From her point of view, going to the town would not be a mistake.

In the current castle, on one hand, there was no supply. On the other hand, there was a constant flow of system-assigned men behind the door. If they continued to guard the door like this, the outcome was obvious.

However, it would be different if they go to the town. They are very likely to find other supplies on the way. Although it was just a possibility, there was still hope anyway.

“Staying here really means waiting to die. If we fight our way out, we may be able to reverse the situation and seize the opportunity!” Tang Xia said anxiously. Her brows were furrowed tightly because of how nervous she was.

Right now, Tang Xia really hoped that this group of people could unite as one. After all, in this kind of situation, fighting alone was like seeking death. There was no chance of victory.

However, while looking at Tang Xia’s anxious look, a few other people shook their heads.

They also did not want to risk going out either. Rather than being on tenterhooks all the time, it was better to wait here for the mastermind behind the scenes to appear.

Tang Xia looked at the few of them shaking their heads. Suddenly, she felt disappointed at them. Why could they not just think about what she just said?

When both parties were in a stalemate, Ye Yifan, who was standing aside, said, “How about this? Those who agree to go out will go out to gather information. Those who don’t want to go out will stay in the castle, serve as logistics, and search through the castle again.”

“However, we must all be careful. We are outnumbered by the enemy, we can’t lose anyone,” said Ye Yifan.

Perhaps as the most popular streamer in Time-travel Bar, Ye Yifan was more convincing. Besides, it was true that a man’s words would be more effective. After thinking for a moment, everyone nodded and agreed.

“This method works. Just do what Ye Yifan said and go out if you want, or stay here if you don’t want to.” Mu Chengxuan was the first to speak and echoed Ye Yifan’s suggestion.

Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan and then at Mu Chengxuan. Since they all agreed with this method, she could only agree. Besides, she could not a more appropriate method.

“Well, it’s decided then. Those who are willing to go out will leave with me early tomorrow morning. We still have the whole night to consider,” said Tang Xia.

After saying that, she sat down to address her wound. She still felt a little oppressed because of what happened just now.

However, since it was already decided, she shall stop thinking about it.

Ye Yifan saw that Tang Xia had sat down next to him, but she still looked unhappy. Hence, he moved closer to Tang Xia and shortened the distance between them.

“Tang Xia, don’t care about it too much. We all have our own considerations. It doesn’t mean that you’re wrong if we object to you. Nobody is right or wrong in this kind of situation, it’s just that we all think differently,” Ye Yifan comforted in a low voice.

Looking at Ye Yifan who was staying with her and comforting her patiently, Tang Xia was suddenly moved.

At times like this, Ye Yifan was the only one who would still stand by her side and say something to support her.

Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan gratefully and then said, “Well, don’t worry. I’m not that fragile. I’m Tang Xia!”

Although Tang Xia was grateful to Ye Yifan, she could not show her weakness directly in front of him as it would put him in a bad spot and make him worried.

Ye Yifan and Tang Xia looked at each other and smiled. The gloomy atmosphere disappeared immediately. It could be considered as a moment of comfort in the nervousness.

After a night’s rest, everyone’s spirits were much better when they woke up the next morning. Wounds have all been bandaged up and the whole team was more energetic than last night.

Everyone woke up one after another and the complexion on their faces had also recovered a lot.

Tang Xia heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that a comrade-in-arms would fall down at this time when there was a lack of medical supplies. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured as of now.

“Well, everyone is somewhat rested up. After a night’s consideration, those who want to go out with me should go and prepare yourselves. Let’s set off after 10 minutes,” said Tang Xia.

10 minutes later, Tang Xia led a group of people and opened the castle’s gate carefully and quickly. They intended to charge their way through the crowd of system-assigned men outside the door.

There were not many people who were willing to take the risk with Tang Xia. This situation was also within Tang Xia’s expectations.

However, Tang Xia felt that these people were enough. After a night of consideration, those who were still willing to follow her must have been well-prepared mentally.

A well-prepared person was more useful than three unwilling people, so Tang Xia was not afraid.

Although she was already mentally prepared before coming out, she was still shocked when the system-assigned men turned to them immediately as soon as they saw them coming out and attacked them ferociously.

Could it be that these system-assigned men were too tired yesterday, which was why their attack speed had decreased and after one night of rest, they had also recovered their physical strength now?

However, Tang Xia had no time to think about it. She started a new round of fighting against the system-assigned men who were attacking her.

The people around her also fought with her. No one slacked off.

Since they had come out, it meant that they were willing to take the risk. However, it did not mean that they were willing to die.

They finally managed to charge their way through the crowd of system-assigned men. Tang Xia quickly led her companions to run towards the nearest building.

While running, Tang Xia said, “Later we will split up to find the useful things in this building as quickly as possible. Everyone, take care, and stay safe.”

After entering the building, Tang Xia and the rest immediately took split up to look for useful clues or supplies.

Tang Xia looked around the building and found that there was no one else except themselves. However, Tang Xia could also feel the traces of a bustling scene.

Although there was no one in the building, the computers used for work were still in working condition and the monitors were all turned on.

Seeing all this, Tang Xia felt slightly confused and frowned. However, due to the urgency of time, she had no time to think about it carefully and started her search in this direction immediately.
