Chapter 66 -66: The Power of the Plot God

Qiao Qingyu turned her head to look at Xiao Hu, who lay on the ground. Xiao Hu had been hit, and his mouth was bleeding. She checked his pulse and his breathing. That was all Qiao Qingyu could do now.

The next moment, Qiao Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief; Xiao Hu was still alive.

She picked up Xiao Hu and, holding onto He Xuerong who had stayed right by her side, hurried outside. The door was wide open, the fierce wind was still howling, but she clearly heard an old lady speaking, her voice distant and unclear. She hid by the door and looked outside.

There were about seven or eight people standing at the doorway.

She saw the old lady from the carriage, her face full of confusion and disbelief, pointing at the broken lock on the big door and saying something.

There was also the middle-aged woman who had opened the door for the old lady, and five middle-aged men in their thirties or forties, two of whom had hoes slung over their shoulders.

It seemed there were still more people outside.

Qiao Qingyu’s heart raced, and she took deep breaths to calm herself down.

She looked down at He Xuerong, who remained unresponsive to everything around her and just stared intently at her.

He Xuerong’s pale face also bore a slap mark.

That inhuman beast.

At that moment, the people at the doorway rushed toward the house.

At that instant, Qiao Qingyu didn’t think she could safely escape from there with two children.

Clearly, they were all in this together.

She had no extraordinary martial arts skills, no weapons, only a stick. At this critical moment, she couldn’t help but lament the power of the plot deities.

Even though she had transmigrated into this book and tried hard to change the plot, some events were bound to happen, albeit in a different manner and at a different place.

Qiao Qingyu was extremely grateful for a small experiment she had conducted before. If she hadn’t run that small experiment, she wouldn’t dare to execute this plan now.

Qiao Qingyu prepared to take the two children into a space.

But the next second, He Xuerong suddenly broke free from her grasp. The kitchen wasn’t big, and the young girl grabbed a kerosene bottle and fiercely threw it at the head of a middle-aged man who had crawled into the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, it landed on the dry grass in the kitchen.

Qiao Qingyu immediately rushed to pull He Xuerong, but unfortunately, the group outside rushed in too, quickly surrounding Qiao Qingyu.

“Mom, catch her, this damned woman, I must kill her, kill her brutally!” the middle-aged man screamed at the top of his lungs.

Qiao Qingyu had a moment when her mind went blank.

She didn’t even make it out of the kitchen door before she was blocked.

The strangers, men and women in the village, all looked at her with malevolence.

Ten seconds, could she successfully take the two children into the space in front of everyone…

The old lady closest to Qiao Qingyu, enraged and desperate, lunged at Qiao Qingyu. It must be said that under extreme pressure, human potential could be limitless, and Qiao Qingyu reacted quickly, grabbing He Xuerong and picking up Xiao Hu to dodge out of the way.

But the kitchen was too small. She stood beside the stove, below her feet, a pile of dry straw and corn stalks.

“Catch her, have fun, you guys play with her as much as you want, then sell her off to the deep mountains…” The old lady who missed her target shouted deliriously.

Qiao Qingyu clenched her teeth.

No matter, she had to enter the space first but needed to buy herself some time.

Qiao Qingyu used her left hand to pull out two boxes of matches from her bag, holding them up, and her right hand pressed on the red mole on her index finger, her voice becoming shrill due to the pressing situation, “I am from the base laboratory, what I’m holding is explosive. Don’t come any closer, or I’ll set this place on fire!”

The crowd surrounding her was skeptical; they didn’t know who Qiao Qingyu was but knew that the two children were from the base.

No need for much, just that ten seconds of hesitation, and she would be safe.

Qiao Qingyu viciously threw the matches in her hand in front of everyone, and indeed, they all simultaneously took a step back. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the matches exploded into a burst of sparks. Before Qiao Qingyu’s incredulous eyes, the sparks ignited the dry grass, and large flames sprang up, while Qiao Qingyu and the two children vanished from everyone’s sight.

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Then, the kitchen was engulfed in flames.

The weather was dry, and a fierce wind was blowing outside, causing the fire to quickly climb onto the roof.

Nobody went to look for where Qiao Qingyu had gone. The old lady went to pull her son, who was lying on the ground, while several men frantically searched for water to extinguish the fire.

Some people ran out.

In an instant, the place was thrown into chaos.

As the scene changed, Qiao Qingyu, holding both children, entered the laboratory.

She was sweating coldly but also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, both children had come in.

If only one had come in, she would have had to go out immediately to bring the other one in.

She quickly checked on Xiao Hu; the child’s face was swollen like a steamed bun, but his breathing was still steady. He Xuerong stared at her with sharp eyes, her lips tightly pursed, but her emotions seemed alright.

Qiao Qingyu clenched her hands, nervously attentive to the noises outside the space.

When not busy or when no one was around, she often conducted small experiments to fully master the functions of the laboratory.

For instance, if she could enter with her whole body, could others enter as well?

So, one day, when Sister-in-law Li went out and left Xiao Hu at her house, and Xiao Hu was napping, Qiao Qingyu saw that the child was sound asleep and indeed brought Xiao Hu into the laboratory space.

But she had never tried bringing two children in.

Nor did she know if she could bring an adult in.

Then she also tested whether one could move around in the laboratory space after entering, meaning whether one stays right there after exiting from where they entered.

Also, whether one could hear noises from the outside world while in the laboratory space?

She had conducted experiments on all these aspects.

The items at hand weren’t complete. The things that could and couldn’t be brought in, Qiao Qingyu had already made two charts, placed inside the wooden box in the laboratory.

As for the matter of location, she had conducted comprehensive experiments.

However, the moving distance was limited; she mentally walked forward in her mind, but could only take about five steps.

But that was enough. Qiao Qingyu knew her location; she had already left the kitchen and was in the yard of this farmhouse.

She could also hear the sounds from the outside if she chose to.

Then, she heard the old lady’s frantic shouting.

And other miscellaneous noises.

The fierce wind outside was still howling, undiminished.

She also heard the crackling sound of the fire burning.

Qiao Qingyu was utterly baffled. She came to the wooden box, which contained two packs of matches that the base had just issued; she hadn’t used them and had placed them in the space’s wooden box.

She had opened one pack on the road.

She had taken out two boxes and placed them in her handbag; just now, to gain time and scare them, she had thrown them out.

But how could the matches explode?

Could this be the power of a plot god?
