Inside Sanzhong Underground Base.
Xiao Feng looked at the pile of abundant supplies and the fully constructed prison cells. A significant portion of it had been excavated and modified later.
The underground area was surprisingly vast, covering an area of five to six hundred square meters.
"What should we do with these people?" Bai Zhi asked, escorting more than ten students and a few teachers.
Among them were the henchmen who had cruelly followed Principal Wang.
"Kill them," Xiao Feng responded without hesitation, taking up a handgun and shooting one of the teachers in the head.
Gunshots rang out, and all of these people were killed.
Approaching more than twenty rescued girls, Xiao Feng looked at them.
All these girls wore a dazed and traumatized expression, bearing the physical and mental scars they had endured.
Looking at the photo in his hand, Xiao Feng finally found the daughter of the old man, Gao Ya.
Unexpectedly, the petite Gao Ya was displaying an unusual level of calm.
"Don’t worry! You’re safe now!" Xiao Feng assured the girls.
Afterward, he looked at the stored supplies and said to Bai Zhi, "The rest is up to you. I’ll take them back."
...
...
It took several hours for Bai Zhi and her group to return to the restaurant.
"How did it go?" Xiao Feng asked casually.
"All the supplies have been transported back. This time, we made quite a haul!" Bai Zhi seemed to be in a good mood and sat down to speak with Xiao Feng.
"By the way, there’s something I need your help with."
"Are you asking me to arrange for these girls?" Bai Zhi immediately guessed Xiao Feng’s intention.
"Yes! Their spirits have been greatly traumatized, and they need time to recover. I want you to take them back and provide proper care."
Xiao Feng sighed and said.
Originally, he had intended to place these people in the second refuge that Wang Qiang had mentioned. However, Xiao Feng knew nothing about the second refuge, so he thought it best to entrust them to Bai Zhi.
"Sure! No problem!" Bai Zhi readily agreed.
After seeing Bai Zhi and her group off, Xiao Feng looked at the remaining Gao Ya.
"Do you know why I kept you behind?" Xiao Feng asked Gao Ya.
When Gao Ya was rescued, she remained remarkably calm. She didn’t say a word, but her eyes observed everything happening around her with great composure.
Xiao Feng curiously inquired, "I’m curious, while the other girls are almost driven insane, how have you managed to stay so composed?"
Gao Ya silently shook her head and replied, "If fear could solve the problem, we would have escaped long ago. Do you think I’m not afraid? I’ve watched hundreds of classmates being killed before my eyes. This kind of mental torment has already made me numb. I’ve already made up my mind that if I’m taken away, I’ll commit suicide right away."
Xiao Feng remarked, "It seems like you’re still favored by fate."
Then he stood up and said, "Let’s go. I’ll take you to find your grandfather."
"My grandfather?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Ya was taken aback, looking at Xiao Feng with disbelief. She asked, "Are you serious about what you just said?"
Xiao Feng responded, "I was originally entrusted by your grandfather to see if you were infected, but I didn’t expect to discover the situation at your school."
Gao Ya became emotional and began to cry, saying, "Then, my grandfather..."
Xiao Feng comforted her and said, "Let’s go; I’ll take you to find your grandfather."
"My grandpa, is he okay?"
"Your grandpa is doing well. He’s in the agricultural production base. I’ll take you to see him now."
Afterward, Xiao Feng took Gao Ya to the agricultural production base. However, upon reaching the greenhouse where Gao Ya’s grandpa was, they suddenly heard noises from inside.
"Quick, hide!"
Xiao Feng immediately led Gao Ya into an abandoned shed.
...
"That stubborn old man hid so much food all by himself!"
Inside the greenhouse, a tattooed young man with a shotgun had Gao Ya’s grandpa pinned underfoot.
"Brothers, check if there’s anything else good around!"
The tattooed young man yelled, and the other four or five men immediately began searching vigorously.
"Boss, there’s a cellar here!"
"Let me see."
The tattooed young man walked over immediately.
Then, he shone a flashlight into the cellar.
When he saw the stored food and vegetables inside, his eyes widened.
"Oh my goodness, this should be enough for us to eat for a year!"
"Boss, why don’t we just settle down here!"
"Yeah, boss, this old man knows how to farm. We can have him grow food for us, and we won’t worry about starving!"
"Haha, great idea!"
The tattooed young man laughed heartily.
He then walked over to Gao Ya’s grandpa and shouted, "Old man, from now on, we’re living here. Got it?"
"You bandits, you’ll have a miserable end!"
The old man cursed angrily, but as a life-evolver, he couldn’t do much.
At that moment, Xiao Feng placed Gao Ya inside the abandoned shed and secretly approached.
Hiding outside the door, Xiao Feng listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the room.
The four men who had taken Gao Ya’s grandpa hostage didn’t appear to be evolvers.
Xiao Feng immediately walked into the adjacent shed since it was connected to the one where Gao Ya’s grandpa was.
He removed the wooden boards and used the underground passage to get there.
Inside the room, the old man was tied up and dumped in a corner, while the four men were feasting.
After carefully lifting the wooden boards, Xiao Feng saw that the old man was not far away.
Observing the situation inside the room, Xiao Feng took out his Barrett sniper rifle and rushed out.
"Don’t move!"
Xiao Feng shouted loudly.
The sudden sound startled the four men.
Almost instinctively, all four of them raised their hands and lay down on the ground.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng was momentarily stunned.
He then kicked the shotgun aside and untied the old man’s ropes.
Once freed, the old man immediately picked up the shotgun and pointed it at the four men.
"Where did you four come from?" Xiao Feng asked fiercely.
"Big bro, please don’t kill us. We escaped from Shelter No. 7!"
"Shelter No. 7 was attacked by the Bird People, and we were forced to run here!"
"Big bro, please spare us. All four of us are evolvers. As long as you don’t kill us, we’ll do whatever you say!"
...
"Evolvers? You four wimps are evolvers?" Xiao Feng burst into laughter.
"Come on, tell me about your evolver abilities."
"My ability is to have poisonous excrement. I can excrete feces that can poison people one rank higher than me!"
"My ability is to attract bullets, but I’ve never used it!"
"My ability is to release really stinky farts!"
"My ability is impressive. I can turn invisible, but only in the dark!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
