I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

It's night, silent.

Several red dots flashed in the air, passing from one end of the city wall to the other end, and then entered the city.

This is Chen Chuxue's drone.

She controlled the drone and used the night vision function to record the situation on the city wall, and also recorded what was happening inside the city.

At least they need to know how many streets there are in the city, how they can escape if they are discovered, and where the other city gate is.

There was no way before, but now that we have drones, we naturally need to be more cautious.

When she saw that the drone had almost finished recording, Chen Chuxue controlled the drone back, then changed the memory card, and then waited for a while before continuing to control the drone to take off.

On the city wall.

After the patrol, several soldiers walked down the city wall with a smile. There was a bunker building below, and they rested in it.

The weather is so hot now that the bricks on the city wall have been burned red by the sun. If you lie on them, they will be roasted. How dare you sleep on them.

Anyway, it was not a war period and no one would attack the city, so they were not worried and came down to rest after patrolling.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, what do you think that is?"

Suddenly, a soldier pointed to a few red dots above his head and swallowed suddenly, with a look of fear on his face.

There was no way, it was pitch dark at night, and a few red dots suddenly popped up, which would scare anyone.

When the man named Lao Zhang heard this, he looked up and was startled, and quickly lowered his head.

"Don't look, that's probably a monster!"

Lao Zhang quickly told his companions that during this famine period, there were no animals, let alone birds, and I had never heard of birds’ eyes emitting red light at night.

And it was still flashing red light.

"There is a legend in our hometown that every time during a disaster, various monsters will appear. Some monsters' eyes will glow red. If you stare at the red light, you will be fascinated and your soul will be swallowed by the monster. …”

Following Lao Zhang's words, the people next to him suddenly trembled.

"Go, go, go!"

They quickly pushed each other and ran to the building below, closed the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"what happened?"

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

The people inside couldn't help but laugh when they saw the expressions of Lao Zhang and others.

As a result, it was discovered that Lao Zhang and others had expressions of fear and joy on their faces. After a moment, they slowly spoke.

"I didn't see a ghost, but I saw a monster."

Immediately afterwards, several people told what they had just seen.

"Four eyes?"

"Red light flashing?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone felt the temperature in the room drop a few degrees. Some even quickly took their weapons and felt at ease holding them in their hands.

"monster……"

"what is it now?"

"Can this door be blocked?"

A group of people were uneasy, but they made up their mind that no matter what noise they heard, they would not go out even if they were beaten to death.

Chen Chuxue didn't expect that these people would be scared to hide in the house by accident. If they had known about it, they probably wouldn't have missed this good opportunity.

That's right, Chen Chuxue and others did not plan to enter the city tonight.

Instead, we will use drones tonight to confirm the patrol patterns of these soldiers, where they rest, and the situation in the city.

When it was past ten o'clock and the entire city fell into silence, Chen Chuxue and others left the area and went not far down the mountain to set up a tent to rest.

Early the next morning, they simply ate fast food, and Chen Chuxue took out her tablet and mobile phone.

She inserted the drone's memory card into her phone, let everyone watch, and handed them pen and paper.

They have divided the work.

Each person has a mobile phone and records what they see. Chen Chuxue saw what was happening on the city wall.

That is, the patrol rules of the city wall soldiers and their resting places.

It didn't take long for her to simply draw a map.

What Geng Xiaoyan saw was the situation in the city, and she also roughly drew the situation inside. It was obviously the streets in the city.

Moreover, several people combined the situations they drew together, and a simple map of Dongqiu County appeared in front of them.

The map is very simple, including the stairs from the city wall to the city, as well as the locations of various streets in the city, as well as some landmark buildings.

With this kind of map, they won't get lost after entering the city.

of course.

Chen Chuxue also plans to fly the drone several times during the day. After all, the situation seen at night is different from that seen during the day.

During the day, Chen Chuxue did not fly too low for fear of being seen. However, the drone did not have a red light, so it was not that noticeable.

"This is……"

Because there is no Internet, they cannot see the drone shooting in real time.

Therefore, after taking out the memory card, they saw the situation in Dongqiu County during the day.

I saw people coming and going on the street, there were stalls, people selling goods, passers-by... It seemed that the place was not affected by the famine.

If it weren't for the fact that there were several disaster victims lying at the gate of the city, they would all have thought that they were dreaming and that the disaster was not real.

However, when I think about it, Dongqiu County is an important place, and it is also the only transportation artery between the two prefectures.

Therefore, no matter what, the famine situation in Dongqiu County will be solved by the court.

Chen Chuxue and others took a closer look and discovered that after all, most of the things sold at the street stalls were not food, but clothing, toys, etc., and various sundries.

The situation of selling candied haws and snacks is different from what they imagined.

Obviously, Dongqiu County was not unaffected by the famine. It was only because the imperial court transferred a lot of food from other places that the county was maintained.

In addition, there is also a Shang River that flows through this place and merges into the Changhe River.

Therefore, there is no shortage of water in Dongqiu County.

This is also the reason why Dongqiu County has been able to sustain itself during the three years of famine.

If you have water, you can farm.

Although you can't grow water bags, you can grow wheat, since wheat is drought tolerant after all.

In short, the situation in Dongqiu County was completely beyond their expectations.

If Aunt Geng and the others hadn't already made up their minds, they might all consider staying here.

"No matter what, we have to get into town without alerting anyone."

Because only in this way can they stay in this county for a few days and rest here.

Because they saw the situation in the city, they seemed to be on fire, constantly improving their action plans.

Waiting until the next night, Chen Chuxue and others estimated the time when the soldiers would get off work, and then released the drones.

Seeing that the monster appeared above him again, Lao Zhang was so frightened that he ran back to the house and closed the door tightly.

The soldiers who came in first saw their expressions, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"The monster...appeared again?"

Lao Zhang sighed and nodded with a pale face.

"Don't worry, there was no attack last night, and maybe there won't be one tonight, as long as we don't go out."

"That's right, even if you kill me, you won't leave."

Several people quickly made up their minds.

When Chen Chuxue saw the soldiers running so fast, she didn't know why, but when she saw them entering the house, she put away the drone.

After waiting for another hour, they took action.

Success or failure depends on this.
