"Here’s a box of mutant bee pupae I obtained. Do you have any information on how to raise them?"
"Mutant bee pupae?" Li Qixi looked uncertain. "I’m not sure if they’re any different from regular bees!"
"Just raise them confidently. In essence, everything has similarities. You have experience with beekeeping, so even if they don’t survive, it’s okay!" Xiao Feng reassured.
Relieved, Li Qixi nodded, saying, "Don’t worry, Brother Feng, I’ll do my best!"
"But..." Li Qixi glanced around. "It’s not yet spring, so it’s not the best time for beekeeping. Besides, this environment isn’t suitable. It’d be better if there were an orchard or a forest nearby!"
Hearing this, Xiao Feng felt puzzled. Such an environment might only be found in the wilderness. However, it’d be risky to have Li Qixi tend to the bees out in the open.
"Also, I might not be able to manage alone. If only my parents were here!" Li Qixi mentioned, thinking about her parents upon seeing the pupae.
The mention of Li Qixi’s family sparked an idea in Xiao Feng’s mind. If Li Family Valley was a place of beekeeping, it was likely that their bees had also undergone mutation. Plus, there might be a considerable supply of mutated bee honey there. Additionally, if they could rescue some people from Li Family Valley, they could assist Li Qixi in beekeeping.
"Get ready. We’ll head to Li Family Valley this noon to check if your family is still there!" Xiao Feng told Li Qixi enthusiastically.
"Really? Brother Feng!" Li Qixi trembled with excitement, gripping Xiao Feng’s clothes tightly.
"Yes! We’ll leave after lunch!" Xiao Feng promised earnestly.
At lunchtime, over a hundred people gathered to eat. Of course, they didn’t eat the food sold by Xiao Feng; have you ever seen a restaurant owner feed their staff with menu items?
So, unless something major happened, the food Xiao Feng provided to the staff was ordinary, just like what we typically eat during peaceful times—stir-fries, stews, and the like.
Despite the simple meals, it was an eye-opening experience for all the newcomers. This restaurant seemed like a paradise in the apocalypse! They hadn’t had such tasty, warm meals since the apocalypse began.
After lunch, Xiao Feng took Li Qixi to Li Family Valley.
Li Family Valley was located in Yunling County, the same place as the previous shelter alliance.
Controlling a thin piece of wood, Xiao Feng and Li Qixi sat on it, floating gently from above.
At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly saw several figures searching back and forth in the place where the shelter used to be.
Xiao Feng immediately controlled his descent to the ground, had Li Qixi hide, and silently approached.
On the open space outside the shelter command post, Xiao Feng saw more than ten people cautiously entering the command post.
"Aren’t those... Bai Meng and the others?"
Xiao Feng was puzzled.
At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly recalled something. After breaking through the shelter, he didn’t seem to have seen Bai Meng and the others.
Now thinking about it carefully, Xiao Feng was sure that this guy had probably escaped earlier, returning only now.
However, everything valuable here had been taken by Xiao Feng, and even other useful items had been moved by Lu Zhenhua.
Why did they come back?
Xiao Feng followed them quietly, and from a distance of forty to fifty meters, he eavesdropped on their conversation using telekinesis.
"Big brother, this place has already been looted. Why are we back?"
"Yeah! Didn’t you say you were taking us to the underground city? Why are we back here?"
Several people questioned Bai Meng.
"Do you know how far the underground city is from here?"
Bai Meng stopped and snorted.
"Even if you have two legs, can you get there?"
"Yeah! The underground city in Shanxi Yunzhong is thousands of miles away from here. We can’t get there on foot! "
"Besides flying, we can’t handle the zombies and mutant beasts on the way!"
"Could it be that big brother brought us here because there’s a helicopter here?"
Thinking of this possibility, everyone became excited.
"Last time, after Xiao Feng broke in here, I saw the aura of my sister’s ice soul on him. He even lied to me, saying that my sister and Zhao Tianling died together. I suspect that he killed my sister!"
Bai Meng angrily said.
Hearing this from a distance, Xiao Feng suddenly felt a sense of unease. "I didn’t expect this guy to connect it with Bai Zhi’s situation just based on this!"
"Now that the alliance is destroyed, and the Shelter No. 1 has allied with Xiao Feng, with my strength, I can’t get revenge!"
Bai Meng fiercely punched the wall.
"However, I heard Wu Lin say before that he has a token that leads to the underground city of Yunzhong. With this thing, we can go to the underground city of Yunzhong!"
"I heard that Yunzhong was a coal city before. Due to over-exploitation, the entire city sank during the apocalypse and was completely buried."
"Yes, I heard that the entire city of Yunzhong is probably the only city in the world that hasn’t been invaded by the virus!"
"It’s true that it hasn’t been invaded by the virus, but I heard that the entire city sank into the ground. The people inside might have seen some terrifying things, and everyone went crazy!"
"Some people fortunately escaped from inside and said that it was full of ghosts!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Bai Meng immediately silenced his men.
"But have any of you heard that someone accidentally entered the Ghost City of Yunzhong and, the next day, directly became an Eighth Rank Evolver!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Because they all knew that with opportunities came tremendous threats.
"After I come out from there, I will definitely come back to kill that Xiao Feng and avenge my sister!"
After saying this, Bai Meng continued to walk towards the command post.
Soon, they arrived at the former commander Wu Lin’s office.
Xiao Feng silently followed behind. After Bai Meng and his group entered, they began searching recklessly.
Xiao Feng stood quietly outside the room, using telekinesis to observe every move inside.
At that moment, a cry came from inside, and Xiao Feng’s eyes widened.
Through his telekinetic perception, he sensed that Bai Meng had triggered some mechanism on a bookshelf.
The next instant, the entire bookshelf slowly moved to the right, revealing a hidden compartment.
