Chapter 66: Chapter 65 Tanks Leading the Way Chapter 66: Chapter 65 Tanks Leading the Way Over time, the fame of the Seven-Person Team began to spread among the Refugees.
Those who had been saved by the Seven-Person Team spontaneously followed them, seeking their protection.
However, the Seven-Person Team never drove them away, allowing them to follow.
On the journey southward, if anyone tried to stand in their way or rob them, the Seven-Person Team would always readily take care of them.
But the Seven-Person Team only ever took care of food for the seven of them; other people could follow behind them without a problem, but they had to find their own food and drink.
They wouldn’t be responsible for anyone else.
However, the leader of the Seven-Person Team liked quiet, so those who wanted to take advantage of the Seven-Person Team clearing the way had to agree to be quiet and not make a noise throughout the journey.
Furthermore, the Seven-Person Team couldn’t stand seeing looting. If a dispute ever broke out amongst the Refugees over food, they would treat everyone involved as Bandits and eliminate them.
The Refugees who followed the Seven-Person Team had a much more comfortable time than the chaotic, unaffiliated groups outside.
So, more and more law-abiding Refugees gathered, and slowly the reputation of the Seven-Person Team spread.
As for why Old Uncle Qiu and the others knew about it, they owed it to the group of non-confrontational Refugees they had met that day.
After traveling with the other group for a while, their leader approached and asked, “Are you also chasing after the Seven-Person Team?”
“What?” Old Uncle Qiu looked bewildered.
“You don’t know about the Seven-Person Team?” The other leader was shocked, “I thought you were hurrying to catch up to the Seven-Person Team.”
So the other leader began to share the legends and stories of the Seven-Person Team.
Upon hearing this, Old Uncle Qiu resolutely decided to follow them. With the Seven-Person Team’s protection, they would no longer have to be constantly worried, and Miss Junjun would also be able to get enough rest.
They hurried along for two days and finally caught up with the main group.
However, the Seven-Person Team traveled quickly, so they had to carry the children on their backs to keep up with the advancing troop.
Nearly a thousand people who were unwilling to fight had attached themselves to the Seven-Person Team, and most of them were honest folk.
Old Uncle Qiu and the others didn’t see the Shadow of the Seven-Person Team.
It’s said that the Seven-Person Team was at the very front of the group, and by the time Old Uncle Qiu and his group caught up, they couldn’t squeeze into the “footprints of the Son of Heaven.”
But it must be said that it’s comfortable to rest in the shade of a big tree; during these two days, their journey was very peaceful, without the repeated peril of encounters with Bandits, like on the first day.
Moreover, they had fungi and wild vegetables with them, so whenever the Seven-Person Team set up camp to rest, they could cook something to eat.
By comparison, other people who set up camp had an even harder time finding food.
But even if others couldn’t find food, they didn’t dare to come forward and snatch it, as everyone knew not to test the rules set by the Seven-Person Team.
In this way, Bai Junjun understood the current situation.
In the original host’s memory, there was no Seven-Person Team, but that was normal; no matter the original host’s abilities, she had only ever been confined within the ladies’ quarters.
How could she have known about affairs among the Refugees?
However, she was quite happy to encounter such a large organization; it was akin to having a tank clearing the way, making the journey southward not that difficult.
Bai Junjun breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Bai Sasa took the opportunity to pass her a water bladder, and Bai Junjun gulped down several large mouthfuls. In her days of unconsciousness, she could vaguely sense that everyone was feeding her the Water of Flora.
It must be said that this water was like timely rain, quickly replenishing her dried-up spiritual spring seed.
The Special Ability Seed in her Sea of Consciousness, which was cracked and void, finally got a bit of moisture, and she was thus able to speed up her recovery. Otherwise, she might have been unconscious for a few more days.
The people around her were happy to see her drinking.
“You went without food or water for several days; we were almost worried to death.”
