"Do you really think my husband is a fool? Deceiving him like this." Letty frowned and spoke up.

If the plague could truly be cured, would those noble lords still resort to massacre?

In her eyes, Su Changxing was already a complete fraud, spouting such absurd things. She couldn’t understand why Nobu trusted him so much.

Su Changxing looked at the aggressive woman, showing no sign of weakness, like a tigress.

Before he could speak.

Nobu angrily rebuked, "Who do you think you are to speak? Even if I’m a liar, the nobleman is not. You go stand outside the door!"

Letty was bewildered, not understanding why Nobu was so angry or why he believed such outrageous things.

She said nothing more, knowing that if she argued further, it might really anger Nobu. She got up and took the child outside.

The little boy was obedient and sensible, with wide-open eyes, neither crying nor fussing, just following his mother.

After they went out, Nobu’s expression changed, and he awkwardly smiled, "Please don’t mind her, my wife is just an ordinary person, she knows nothing."

"Is the plague really cured on me?"

Su Changxing took out some black ointment, handed it to him, and affirmed, "Of course, this stuff can promote the healing of your wounds. Get ready, we’ll board the ship soon."

Nobu confirmed that Su Changxing wasn’t joking, and with trembling hands, took the ointment and repeatedly thanked him, "Thank you, nobleman, thank you."

He paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Nobleman, can you also cure my wife and son of their plague?"

Su Changxing took a can of grape juice from Pocket Galaxy, opened it, took a big sip, and said lightly, "Like you, they are all cured too."

Nobu thanked him again, "Thank you, nobleman!"

At this moment.

He was truly grateful to Su Changxing, as if he had fallen into the darkness of the abyss, full of despair, but then someone pulled him out, and he saw light and hope.

Su Changxing didn’t seem to care much, doing it just as a favor. However, for the other people in the fishing village, he didn’t take the initiative to cure their plague.

There was another purpose.

Nobu immediately thought about leaving, not wanting to stay in this ghostly place any longer, "Nobleman, I don’t have much to prepare, why don’t we leave now?"

Su Changxing nodded, "Alright then, let’s go now."

Nobu called his wife inside, applied the black ointment on his sores, and said, "Pack up, we’re leaving right away."

Letty asked in confusion, "Where to? Everywhere else is filled with mechanical monsters."

Nobu smiled, "Of course we’re leaving here. The nobleman has a ship at sea. We can board it, and there’s plenty of food, free of plague."

Letty still found it unbelievable, wondering if her husband had gone mad or if the liar was just too good, "Even if there’s a ship, can we board with the plague on us?"

Nobu looked at her with disdain, "Why worry about so much? Just follow along."

Then, he smiled at Su Changxing and said, "This ointment is really effective, applying it gives a cooling sensation, very comfortable, you can feel the flesh healing."

He handed the ointment to his wife, "Apply this to your sores and the child’s, it will greatly relieve the pain."

Letty took the ointment, tried applying a little on the wound, and felt a cooling comfort, showing a surprised expression, "It really works."

"Of course, it’s given by the nobleman, the plague on you is already cured by him. Don’t contact others, let’s board the ship directly now," Nobu instructed.

Letty looked at Nobu, somewhat skeptical, but feeling her body seemed more comfortable than before, she hurriedly applied the ointment to the child, "Be good, this will make it not hurt."

It’s fortunate that such a small child didn’t die in the disaster, showing the capability of Nobu and his wife.

Then, Su Changxing led Nobu and the others away from the fishing village.

Someone followed and shouted, "Aren’t you courting death by leaving like this?"

Nobu turned back to him, said harshly, "What’s it to you? Stay away from us."

He was worried that the plague on these people might infect them again, at this point, who would care about others, ensuring his own family’s safety was already good enough.

That’s his only thought now, to get his wife and child on the ship first, at least for assurance.

Nobu pointed to the riverbank ahead, "There’s no other boat, our boat is just up ahead, but we might encounter mechanical monsters there."

"At first, there were no mechanical monsters here, they suddenly appeared later, killing many people, our activity range shrank again."

Su Changxing looked around, this was the same place he had been before, "We probably won’t run into that mechanical monster."

Nobu also looked around, saw nothing, and walked ahead, "It does seem not to be here, let’s take this chance to leave."

It’s still that broken little boat, seemingly unchanged from when Su Changxing left before.

Letty saw the shabby little boat and hesitated, doubting it could sail on the sea.

But this time she didn’t say anything, having come this far, there was no turning back.

"Off we go!"

The group boarded the small boat, and the little boy seemed particularly excited, shouting aloud.

Nobu immediately covered his mouth, "Don’t shout, what if you attract those mechanical monsters."

He was very cautious, thinking even loud noises could draw the mechanical monsters.

It’s precisely this caution that kept him alive until now.

The battered wooden boat started, leaving ripples in the water, its speed increasing.

"With you, nobleman, the boat is much faster. Back then, I had to painstakingly row bit by bit," Nobu said, smiling as the boat left the coast, feeling relieved.

Su Changxing nodded, "It’s not easy rowing over with that boat, you only went once? Did you go back to the big ship afterwards?"

Nobu shook his head, "Just once, then mechanical monsters appeared around here, I didn’t dare to come again."

"Luckily, the nobles in the city never dared to come out, probably not knowing we’re still alive."

"Otherwise, we wouldn’t have survived until now, those mechanical monsters are terrifying, even hundreds of people together wouldn’t stand a chance."

"That very night, the nobles gave the order to massacre, dozens of mechanical monsters rushed the streets, starting the slaughter."

"Many were terrified, hiding inside houses and not daring to come out, we didn’t dare either until after the first wave of slaughter did we escape from West City."

"Then, many mechanical monsters were attacking the Black Dog Gang’s building, but it didn’t take long before it fell."

"We were just lucky, a little earlier or later, we wouldn’t have gotten out."
