He shared the situation at Sanzhong (Third Central School) with Wang Qiang.
However, Wang Qiang’s initial reaction was to slam his fist hard against the wall.
"Dammit! These bastards!"
Seeing Wang Qiang’s intense reaction, Xiaofeng’s impression of Wang Qiang changed slightly.
Undoubtedly, Wang Qiang was someone who loathed evil.
However, in the crucible of the apocalypse, he had to compromise and cooperate with the Bird People for survival.
"Among those twenty female students, there’s one person who’s more important to me. How can we rescue them and ensure their safety while also... eliminating those bastards?"
Wang Qiang propped up his chin and fell into silence.
Not only Wang Qiang, but the Bird People who came with him also started contemplating.
"The only way is to lure the snake out of its hole, but there must be someone guarding them inside."
"We can send people back in to deal with them!"
"Who would you send?"
...
Other Bird People voiced their ideas.
Xiaofeng had considered this method but realized it was not realistic with only himself. As for Wang Qiang and his group, Xiaofeng had no intention of involving them. Their abilities were limited to flying, and whether they were used for diversion or a surprise attack, they wouldn’t be able to keep up.
"What do you think about sending people from Shelter Number Nine?"
At that moment, Wang Qiang suddenly pondered.
"People from Shelter Number Nine? Would they agree to help?"
Xiaofeng couldn’t help but be skeptical.
"If you ask them for help, they’ll definitely decline, but if you say that Sanzhong has resources, do you think they’ll come then?"
Hearing this, Xiaofeng smiled knowingly.
However, in recent days, no one from Shelter Number Nine had come to Yulin City, and Xiaofeng didn’t know what had happened to Li Fei and the others.
"Alright, I got it. You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll talk to the people from Shelter Number Nine!"
Then, Xiaofeng sent Wang Qiang and his group away.
Unexpectedly, shortly after Wang Qiang and his group left, people from Shelter Number Nine arrived.
To Xiaofeng’s surprise, it wasn’t Li Fei, but Bai Zhi, the sister of Bai Meng, the commander of Shelter Number Nine.
"It’s you?"
Looking at Bai Zhi carrying bags of various sizes, Xiaofeng was puzzled.
"What’s this about?"
"I came today mainly to discuss a business deal with you."
Bai Zhi, as always, had a cold demeanor, but beneath her cold exterior, she seemed somewhat uncomfortable when facing Xiaofeng.
"Business? What kind of business?" Xiaofeng invited everyone inside.
"We need your buns and pork knuckle!" Bai Zhi got straight to the point.
"We’ll provide the ingredients, and in addition to that, we’ll pay you ten energy points for each bun we process. How does that sound?"
"Free ingredients and ten energy points for one bun?" Xiaofeng fell silent for a moment.
He hadn’t calculated this account before and didn’t know if he was gaining or losing.
"Bloodfang Boars are relatively challenging to hunt. You only need four knuckles for making the pork knuckles, and we’ll pay you three thousand energy points in processing fees for each knuckle. Plus, you can keep the remaining meat!"
Bai Zhi continued.
"I need to carefully calculate this deal, and I’ll get back to you in the next few days." Xiaofeng was preoccupied with the situation at Sanzhong, so he had no mood to discuss business.
"Fine! We’ll give you the time you need," Bai Zhi nodded and left the items they brought.
"These are Razorback Mountain Goats and Bloodfang Boars, and today we’re giving them to you for free. If the deal is concluded, we’ll start providing you with ingredients."
After saying this, Bai Zhi and her group prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Xiaofeng immediately called Bai Zhi back.
"Do you remember the promise you made to me?"
Bai Zhi turned slowly to look at Xiaofeng and replied, "Of course."
"Great, now I need your help with something."
"What is it?"
Next to Bai Zhi, the Black Wolf that Xiaofeng had saved in the past stepped forward without hesitation. He had been grateful for the life-saving favor and had been looking for a way to repay it.
"Before, the teachers at Sanzhong held hundreds of students captive. Over the past year, they’ve killed hundreds of students, and now there are only about twenty left. Today, I discovered their evil deeds, and I need your help to rescue them."
"Is there such a thing?" Black Wolf was shocked.
"But don’t worry, their base is located next to the Huifu Garden Supermarket, and they’ve stockpiled a significant amount of supplies. If you can eliminate them and rescue the students, you’ll have all the supplies inside."
"If this is true, even without supplies, we would help!" Bai Zhi stated firmly.
"Good!" Xiaofeng was delighted. "Tell me, how can you help?"
"According to this female student who escaped, there are over twenty people inside, including teachers, the principal, and students who assist them. Most of them are evolved individuals, but you don’t need to worry. If you have firepower, they are not a concern. The only worry is the principal, who is a Tier 3 Evolver."
Xiaofeng immediately informed Bai Zhi and her group about the situation inside the school.
"My plan is for you to enter the school under the pretext of searching for supplies. Pretend to find the entrance, and they will definitely come out. In the midst of the apocalypse, looting supplies is a common occurrence, and when they see you, you can attack. However, you don’t need too many people on your side. You must give them the feeling that they can easily kill you. This way, we can lure them out."
"Especially you..." Xiaofeng looked at Bai Zhi.
"The principal’s evolution ability is related to the interaction with girls. If he sees you, he will definitely come after you. When he comes out, the others can enter the underground base from the supermarket’s warehouse behind and rescue the female students. As long as we lure the principal out, I can assist you from a distance with my Barrett, and we’ll definitely be able to kill him."
Xiaofeng explained his plan to Bai Zhi.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi nodded and confidently stated, "I don’t need your help; I can handle him on my own."
Bai Zhi was also a Tier 3 Evolver and had absolute confidence in her combat abilities.
However, at the same time, Bai Zhi had a question in her mind. Why did Xiaofeng, who seemed so powerful, need their help?
Though she had this doubt, she didn’t dwell on it.
The group prepared and headed towards Sanzhong. There were more than thirty people in total, including fifteen Evolvers and seventeen non-evolved individuals, all armed with firearms, making them formidable in combat.
Xiaofeng’s plan involved Bai Zhi leading a team of five Evolvers and five non-evolved individuals to enter the school from the front, drawing out the enemies. Meanwhile, the other Evolvers and survivors would approach from the rear to rescue the students. Xiaofeng would provide long-range support with his Barrett from a distance.
