Chapter 350 Rake up The Past
After hearing Ye Yifan’s words, Tang Xia’s eyes lit up again. She looked into the distance and there were even tears glistening in her eyes.

Then, Tang Xia quickly controlled her emotions. After all, she still needed to calm down and find the solution.

Tang Xia focused and said, “We still need to think about what to do next.”

Tang Xia knew that be it wanting to survive or finding Chu Tiankuo, who she had been thinking about day and night, she had to break through the current predicament as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one could survive alone in such a situation.

After hearing this, Mu Chengxuan lowered his head and continued to think about the plan. However, Ye Yifan glanced at Tang Xia seriously and said, “Now that we have found the problem, we should make a decision based on it. Since we all agree on how the system-assigned men had changed, let’s discuss how to deal with them. What should we do?”

After hearing this, Mu Chengxuan lifted his head. He looked around at the people around him and said, “Right now, we all have our own ideas. I’m afraid that only the three of us have the same idea. What about the rest? We can’t leave them alone.”

Tang Xia thought for a while and said, “How about this? We discuss what to do first and then act together. We definitely can’t leave any one of them alone.”

Tang Xia felt that no matter what her relationship with each one of them was like, they were still lives. She definitely could not just them be. After all, it was not a desperate situation now.

“Tang Xia is right. That’s our best plan for now.”

Ye Yifan was glad that Tang Xia was very alert and rational enough. Hence, he said, “Since a different system-assigned man has appeared, we can only focus the breakpoint on this matter.”

Mu Chengxuan went on to say, “There must be something wrong with this system-assigned man, but now the problem is that he may have his own consciousness. What we should do is to find him as soon as possible, and maybe we can get something we need from him.”

Tang Xia looked at Mu Chengxuan and Ye Yifan and thought for a moment before saying, “Well, let’s gather everyone and split them up into three groups. I have only told you two the specific details, no one else knows.”

“How about this? The three of us will be divided into three ways, and each of us will lead a group of people to conduct searches. We can only find out how to solve our current problem after we find this different system-assigned man.”

Hence, Tang Xia, Mu Chengxuan, and Ye Yifan gathered everyone and divided them into three teams. The three of them would lead one team to explore different places separately.

Tang Xia led a few people to search in the east. Everything went well at first, it was quiet and there were no troubles.

After a short while, they had walked quite far away. However, they still did not see that abnormal system-assigned man.

They kept walking. After a short while, system-assigned men rushed out from nowhere. It was as if they had accidentally poked a hornet’s nest and they were densely concentrated. One would get goosebumps just from a glance at them.

Tang Xia and the rest retreated while defending themselves. They escaped the encirclement quickly and ran towards the castle. They had a hard time getting out of the siege and returning to the camp. It was a pity that some of them were injured.

Mu Chengxuan also had the same experience. He led a few people towards the west and also walked for a long time but did not find that system-assigned man. When they were about to go back, they were surrounded by system-assigned men who appeared suddenly. Mu Chengxuan and the others charged their way through and ran back to the castle.

Unfortunately, no matter how careful they were, there were still two people who were seriously wounded and they were carried back by their teammates.

Ye Yifan’s situation was a little better. They did not go too far north. Not only were there no system-assigned men, but no one even attacked them.

However, Ye Yifan felt that this was just the calm before the storm. After exploring for a distance, he still did not find anything. Hence, he gave up going forward decisively and returned to the castle. There were no casualties.

Although there was not much of a problem, everyone was covered in cold sweat when they returned to the castle encampment. They were nervous and terrified.

After all, life was precious for everyone, and everyone only had one chance.

They had been going back and forth several times. Although there were some hiccups along the way, all of the injuries were minor and there was no life-threatening issue. However, they still did not find the abnormal system-assigned man that they were looking for.

Time passed by slowly. They continued to keep looking for that system-assigned man but always returned with disappointment.

Everyone was initially hopeful, but after beaten down again and again, they gradually lost their fighting spirit. All of them had their heads lowered and were full of disappointment.

In fact, in this kind of situation, what everyone feared was not a disappointment but the despair after the hope collapsed.

The number of people who went out to search was falling ceaselessly. Eventually, only Tang Xia, Ye Yifan, and Mu Chengxuan wanted to go out to look for him. However, because they were worried about safety, the search for the system-assigned man had been shelved passively.

Gradually, other streamers from Cross-era and Time-travel Bar started to be anxious. They all felt that they could not see any hope and could only wait in despair and watch.

Everyone wore a bitter expression on their faces and their emotions were getting increasingly unstable.

They kept fighting and killing system-assigned men non-stop.

Although every mission in the past was more or less harmful, it was never like this.

They did not get to rest or relax even for a moment. They were always tense and ready to fight. Even those who had poor psychological quality did not dare to close their eyes. Their red eyes were constantly staring and their faces were filled with fatigue.

Time passed by non-stop. Everyone was exhausted. Not only were the supplies about to be depleted, but their bodies were also on the verge of collapse because they did not have a good rest.

They were under a lot of stress, but the mental tension was even more intense. Some girls had already started crying in a corner.

They kept on killing and could not see the end of it. They did not know what would happen tomorrow. Such worry was almost crushing these people who were about to collapse.

Seeing that the people in front of her were about to break down one by one, Tang Xia was even more worried. Luckily, although Tang Xia was also anxious, she was relatively clear-headed and rational.

Tang Xia thought it was not right to go on like this. They could not just wait for death. Even if they were not killed, they would be scared to death by themselves.

Hence, Tang Xia intended to call Ye Yifan and Mu Chengxuan to discuss the countermeasures.

Tang Xia had a small meeting with them.

Tang Xia looked at the people around her and said to Ye Yifan and Mu Chengxuan in a low voice, “This is not the right way to deal with the problem.”

“At first, we thought that we could find him, but later on, everyone gradually became very disappointed. Some people even showed despair on their faces. If it goes on like this, not only will we not have enough supplies, but we will also not get through this given our mental state. We have to think of other ways.”

Mu Chengxuan said, “Tang Xia is right. They could kill themselves like this. We can’t do that. We have to find a way to energize everyone so that we can continue to find our way out.

Ye Yifan thought for a moment and said, “You guys are right. We really need to reorganize ourselves. The biggest problem we’re facing now is that we still can’t find that abnormal system-assigned man.”

“Yeah, if we can’t find him, we will not be able to continue. Hence, finding this abnormal system-assigned man is the key to solve the problem.” Tang Xia murmured in a low voice.

“Tang Xia, if that abnormal system-assigned man’s appearance has a reason or even purpose, what kind of things can attract him to appear?” Ye Yifan looked at Tang Xia in confusion.

Tang Xia thought, “Yes, there must be a reason, but what could it be?”

Tang Xia could not figure out. When he appeared, a group of them had gone out, but now, it was also a group of people. So what was the problem?

“Ah! Is this it?”

Tang Xia, who was still deep in her thoughts, suddenly shouted out loud, which startled Mu Chengxuan and Ye Yifan.

“What’s wrong? Tang Xia, what did you think of?” Mu Chengxuan asked in a hurry.

“If we are just baits for that abnormal system-assigned man, is it because our bait is not attractive enough to attract him, so he was too lazy to show up? After all, in terms of catching a big fish, if the bait is too small, it can’t attract the attention of the big fish. What do you guys think?” Tang Xia said.

“It was almost the same few people who went, and the number of people was also about the same. So what is the difference? Where exactly are we lacking? Or is there something wrong with the place we went to?”

Mu Chengxuan raised three questions one after another. After all, Mu Chengxuan felt lost after hearing Tang Xia’s words.

“Maybe it’s the three of us. We are the most well-known ones among everyone and also the most controversial. Hence, the three of us are the main targets. Big incidents will only happen every time we gather together. What do you guys think?” Tang Xia said faintly.

After all, it was just speculation. Tang Xia could not be sure that her own opinion was right.

“It makes sense, but it’s impossible for all of us to go out or the three of us to go out alone. This is not realistic. What if something happens? We will be too big of a target if all of us go out together.”

Mu Chengxuan felt that if they were to move together, they would even be able to call for rescue if they encounter an accident. Hence, it would be more appropriate for them to act separately.

“Well, what you said is reasonable, so the three of us can’t act together, and we definitely go out like a swarm. In this case, even if there really is a danger, there will still be someone to rescue us,” Tang Xia said.

Mu Chengxuan and Ye Yifan looked at each other and said nothing. They just waited for Tang Xia’s arrangement quietly.

Tang Xia thought for a while and continued, “How about this? Mu Chengxuan and I go out with a group of people. Ye Yifan, you stay in the castle. If there is any danger, I will give you a signal. If I find that system-assigned man, I will also tell you the result. I hope that we can make it this time.”

Ye Yifan quickly retorted, “No, Tang Xia, I have to stay with you. Otherwise, I’ll be worried. Besides, it’s okay to make Mu Chengxuan stay here. I’ve been with you for a long time and have telepathy with you, which will make it more convenient.”

Seeing Ye Yifan’s big reaction, Tang Xia did not know what to say and just looked at him. However, Ye Yifan’s reaction was even more intense after he saw this gaze of hers.

“Tang Xia, let me go with you. If you encounter any danger, I can better protect you. I can also help you if you meet Chu Tiankuo. So take me with you. I don’t want to be here,” Ye Yifan pleaded.
