Chapter 4 Crisis (2)_1

The moment of the explosion, she originally had a chance to take refuge in the Space, but to her surprise, the Space chose that critical moment to upgrade. She was rejected and couldn't enter. Just in that instant, she was blown to pieces...

Thinking of this, Mo Yan couldn't help but beat her head.

If she hadn't rushed into the kindergarten, maybe she would be with her family right now, happily planning to celebrate her 25th birthday, but did she regret it? No, she didn't regret it. If she had chosen to leave, those children would have had almost no chance of escape. Even if she had safely passed her 25th birthday, she would have lived with guilt for decades!

It was just that the thought of her beloved family suffering because of her death was like a knife to her heart. In her past life, she had a clear conscience toward others, but she could never repay her family for their sacrifices in ten lifetimes!

Tears silently fell one by one, sinking into the ground. The sight and laughter of her loved ones played over in Mo Yan's mind like a silent movie. Although she and her family had been prepared for the possibility of not surviving past 25, when facing death in her past life, despair and unwillingness overwhelmed her. She wanted to live a happy life with her loved ones, but even such a simple wish couldn't be fulfilled!

After a good cry, Mo Yan felt much better. She caressed the mark in her palm and silently swore in her heart: Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, and my brothers, Yanyan will live well, we all will!

Accepting the reality, Mo Yan pulled herself together. Worried that her original family would be anxious, she hurriedly organized the seeds under the Jade Table. Besides common vegetable seeds like cabbage and tomato, she also found grains such as corn and wheat, which made her immensely relieved. Had she not casually stored them, she might have starved to death on the road fleeing disaster.

Once she had sown all the seeds and nearly finished planting the acre of land, she noted that the yet-to-evolve Space had a time flow of about ten to one compared to the outside. Vegetables matured quickly, some in just about ten days and could be eaten after waiting only two days outside. Rice and corn took longer, about three months, but that was only about ten days outside, a wait she could afford.

Mo Yan didn't dare to linger. After glancing at the Space, she thought "go out," and she was outside.

...

"I can do without the rabbit meat, but even in death, I won't hand over the children to you!"

Just as Mo Yan crested a small hill, she heard Mo Qingze's furious shout. Looking closely, she saw seven or eight ragged, fierce-looking youths surrounding Mo Qingze and his two sons. Mo Xin was fine, but the younger Mo Zhen was already crying out of fear.

Those men were clearly starving and seeking refuge as well, but what did they want with the Mo Family?

Among the crowd, a youth who seemed to be in charge stared intently at Mo Xin and her brother, saying with malicious intent, "We want the rabbit meat, and we won't let those two brats off either! Be smart and hand them over. If you're lucky, the master here might let you have a taste of your kids. Otherwise, don't blame us for being unkind!"

What? They wanted to take the children to eat them?

Hearing this, Mo Yan was filled with rage. She had heard about cannibalism in times of disaster in her past life, but witnessing it now revealed a cruelty she could never have imagined.

She suppressed her anger and quickly thought of a plan. The group was clearly desperate with hunger, and those words were not just threats. But with eight men against them, they wouldn't stand a chance in a fight. She could take her family into the Space, but it was her greatest secret, something she didn't want to reveal unless absolutely necessary...

At this moment, Mo Yan didn't realize that she already considered herself a part of the Mo family.

As she wavered, the sound of horses' hooves approached from behind. Instinctively looking back, her excellent vision allowed her to see at the front of the horse team, a striking figure riding toward them...
