I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

The night was as dark as ink, covering the whole world. The whole county was silent, and you couldn't see your fingers.

At the gate of the city, the victims were lying at a certain distance from each other, but they did not dare to sleep for fear that others would attack them.

After all, one less person means more food can be shared among the others.

A few hundred meters away from the city gate, Chen Chuxue and others quietly slipped under the city wall. At this time, there were no soldiers on the city wall, and they were all scared away.

Chen Chuxue took out the telescopic ladder from the space. Yes, it was a telescopic ladder. It was not made by Uncle Geng, but she opened the treasure box and opened it.

Now she has almost figured out the pattern of the treasure chest.

As long as you have something in mind, you can basically open a few more treasure boxes to get what you want.

And it seems that the higher the level, the easier it is.

This discovery made her extremely happy. From now on, she would be able to prescribe whatever she wanted.

Tanks, artillery, planes...

Ahem, forget it, I'm not fighting a war, so I don't need these things, but I can use some other daily necessities and some modern items.

Closer to home.

With this telescopic ladder, Uncle Geng does not need to make a wooden ladder, and it can be easily retracted into the space.

What’s more, this telescopic ladder is not heavy and is very light.

Because she was worried that the light would be exposed, Chen Chuxue could only wrap the flashlight with a cloth, lower the light, and only expose a little so that she could see her surroundings clearly.

With the help of this weak light, Uncle Geng opened the telescopic ladder, and then Geng Xiaoyan and others cooperated to set it up on the city wall.

"I'll step forward first, please be careful."

Uncle Geng warned a few people and took the lead in climbing up the ladder, and Chen Chuxue also handed the crossbow to Uncle Geng.

Uncle Geng put it on his back and used both hands to climb towards the top of the city wall, while Geng Xiaoyan and the two were responsible for holding the ladder.

Chen Chuxue was carrying Xiaoyue on her back, holding a thermal imaging camera and a crossbow in her hands, staring at the surroundings vigilantly.

On the ladder, Uncle Geng tiptoed up the city wall, not daring to use too much force. He made a lot of noise while climbing and lowered his breathing at the same time.

When he climbed to the city wall, he did not go up immediately. Instead, he picked up the thermal imaging camera around his neck and looked around to confirm that there were no soldiers on the wall, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he tiptoed over the city wall, climbed over, then lay down by the city wall and waved to the people below.

There was no way, during the famine period, there were no wild animals. If he imitated bird singing or whistled, how could he not attract attention.

Good thing they have thermal imaging.

Uncle Geng kept waving on the city wall. Although it was pitch dark, no one could see his movements.

But Chen Chuxue was different. It had a thermal imaging device. Chen Chuxue, who was holding the thermal imaging device below, was relieved when she saw Uncle Geng's action.

"Uncle, come forward. It's safe."

The second one is Aunt Geng. She originally planned to let Chen Chuxue come forward first, but because she had to carry Xiaoyue on her back.

They thought that Chen Chuxue was still young and it might not be safe to carry Xiaoyue on her back, so they asked Aunt Geng to carry her.

So, in this case, Aunt Geng must go up first.

Chen Chuxue and Chen Chuxue were holding on to the ladder at the bottom to prevent it from falling down, while Uncle Geng on the city wall was also holding on to the stairs.

Fortunately, everything was safe.

Before and after Aunt Geng came up, there was Chen Chuxue. She wanted to stay at the end, but Geng Xiaoyan refused.

She didn't waste any time arguing.

Before and after Chen Chuxue came up, everyone was waiting nervously for Geng Xiaoyan to come up. Fortunately, there were no surprises.

After Geng Xiaoyan came up, they pulled up the telescopic stairs.

"squeak!"

The retractable stairs are made of aluminum, and when pulled up from the bottom, they will inevitably hit the city wall and make a very sharp sound.

"not good!"

Uncle Geng's expression changed, and he immediately did not dare to pull any more, and whispered instructions to Geng Xiaoyan.

Geng Xiaoyan quickly took off the thermal imaging camera from her father's neck, put it on herself, then held the crossbow and pointed it at the entrance of the city wall. Fortunately, after waiting for a while, nothing happened.

They breathed a sigh of relief and continued to pull up the telescopic stairs.

"Oh!"

Unfortunately, although the ladder is not very heavy, when it is pulled up from a height of seven or eight meters, the weight suddenly increases a lot due to the effect of gravity, so it is not that easy for them to pull it up.

Therefore, the ladder still hit the city wall several times, making a harsh sound, which made Uncle Geng and others look very ugly.

They had calculated countless things, but they had not considered this.

"what sound?"

"Hey, did you hear that?"

When the house under the city wall was there, the soldiers suddenly sat up and poked the people next to them with their hands.

"Could it be some monster..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

When they thought of the monster with four eyes and red light, they felt chills all over and sweat broke out on their backs.

"sleep!"

Lao Zhang quickly lay down on the ground, curled up into a ball, covered his ears with both hands, and tried to prevent his ears from listening.

As long as he can't hear it, he won't be afraid.

"Don't you want to go out and take a look?" Seeing that they were silent, Lao Zhang asked again.

When the others heard this, they shook their heads quickly. Are you kidding me? Are you going out to die?

"Don't worry about it, isn't it good to live?"

Everyone was determined to pay attention, no matter what was going on outside, they would not go out even if they were beaten to death. Maybe the monster deliberately lured them out and ate them.

They are not stupid!

If you stayed in the house last night and didn't go out, wouldn't you live until the next day?

In this way, no matter how loud the noise was outside, these soldiers pretended not to hear it and even covered their ears.

When Chen Chuxue and others saw that the soldiers did not show up, they were relieved and a little curious at the same time.

This shouldn't be!

Logically speaking, they accidentally caused the ladder to hit the city wall just now, and the movement could not have gone unnoticed.

Unless they're really dead?

or……

"They must be scared, right?"

Chen Chuxue somewhat guessed the reason. People in ancient times were quite superstitious. If there was any disturbance at night, they would associate it with ghosts.

What's more, whether it was yesterday or tonight, as soon as the drone appeared, these people left quickly, obviously out of fear.

"possible!"

Uncle Geng and Geng looked at each other and thought that Chen Chuxue was also shocked when she tried flying a drone at night for the first time.

Thinking of this, they felt a little lucky, and then quickly put away the ladder, allowing Chen Chuxue to move into the space.

After that, they quickly came down from the city wall and came to the street.

There was no one on the street.

Every house has its doors closed.

"Finally in!"

Chen Chuxue and others were a little emotional. Although there were some twists and turns, they still entered Dongqiu County without any danger.

"Let's go, find a place to rest first."

It was already late at night, so we had better find a place to rest.

As for the place to rest, of course it couldn't be an inn, but an abandoned house.

Chen Chuxue and others used drones to discover the place. After all, although it was less affected by the drought, it was not without its impact. Many people still died or left, so there were many abandoned houses.
