Seeing that the battle here was over, the heavy iron door of the air-raid shelter was immediately flung open.

A group of people rushed over and carried the group of boys back home.

Among the original rescue team members, Bart had the highest military rank, so he quickly came up to thank Wang Zheng.

"Thank you so much, young man. If it weren't for your help this time, we would probably be in grave danger. You're not from Baoshan City, are you? Did you come from Chuncheng to provide support?"

He saw that Wang Zheng had the ability to fly. If he had been an awakened person in Baoshan City from the beginning, he would have either left alone long ago or been saving people like him.

He went in and out of the city so many times; there was no way he couldn't have missed an Awakened One flying in the sky.

However, since Wang Zheng was not wearing a military uniform, Bart was unable to determine his specific identity.

Wang Zheng didn't take credit; he simply waved his hand casually.

"The 1031st Division headquarters that came from Chuncheng to provide support has already entered the city. I came from Tengchong. Do you have any local survivors from Baoshan here? Those who have been here since the beginning, preferably those who know about the Demon King War."

Tengchong?

Bart was somewhat puzzled. He had been urgently recruited from Chuncheng and had come to Baoshan with Xu Yifeng and others as part of the first batch of support troops.

This first batch of support warriors was small in number, but most of them were Awakened Beings of Rank B or above.

They didn't pay much attention to the scarabs that could devour elements. After reporting the information, they dispersed into the city. They were a temporary mobile force and did not need to coordinate with the army formation for attacks.

Their objective was to enter the city, rescue and gather the survivors, and await further support.

After entering the city, they carried out rescue operations in various directions. Later, they accidentally encountered a search and rescue team hiding in an air-raid shelter. Since they were there to rescue the people anyway, they simply discussed it with Xu Yifeng and decided to stay.

This was already the umpteenth time he had brought people back from outside, but he was just unlucky and got blocked at the entrance of the air-raid shelter.

Because he is the highest-ranking and strongest among those who are still able to move, the search and rescue team is now following him.

But they heard from the time they set off that Tengchong was about to fall.

Moreover, although it sounds cruel, from a strategic point of view, Tengchong City has been basically abandoned.

This young man must have incredible strength to fight his way from Tengchong to Baoshan.

Seeing Bart's puzzled expression, Wang Zheng introduced himself:

“Wang Zheng, a lieutenant in the Special Operations Unit of the Jingnan Military Region, came to Tengchong on a mission. I rushed here from Tengchong to inquire about the whereabouts of our Principal Chu Tianxing and to ask the survivors who know the direction he left in.”

Then Wang Zheng continued:

“Uncle Bat, we’ve met before. When I first came to Yunnan, I went to Kunming, ate the rice noodles you made, and even asked you for directions.”

At this moment, Bart frowned, looking at Wang Zheng's somewhat familiar face, and pondered carefully.

Then he slapped his thigh and exclaimed in surprise:

"Well, it's you, kid! The first one to dare skip out on my bill!!!"

Wang Zheng: ? ? ?

Seeing the curious glances coming from all around, Bart felt a little embarrassed. Clearly, now was not the time to argue over the twenty-five dollars. Bart had just blurted it out without any malice.

After remembering Wang Zheng, he scratched his head awkwardly.

"There are many different kinds of people here, including the first batch of soldiers who came to provide support, as well as troops that were originally stationed in Baoshan."

One of the lieutenant colonels, an A-level officer, was seriously injured. I heard he was a field officer from the Baoshan Military Region.

He was injured while resisting the aftershocks of the demon king's attack, and then retreated to the east of the city with the families of military personnel...

At this point, Bart suddenly clapped his hands and pulled Wang Zheng away.

"Oh right, Wang Zheng, come in with me quickly. I forgot. Don't you have healing abilities? You can heal him. Why don't you just ask him directly?"

Upon seeing the startled, burly man, Wang Zheng was pulled toward the air-raid shelter.

He was also curious as to why Bart, who was clearly a genetically engineered warrior, still had the ability to fight, and did not seem to be suffering from excessive loss of life force.

After he secretly scanned the area, he discovered that none of Bart's attributes had decreased since their first meeting, and his external martial arts techniques had even improved.

Wang Zheng couldn't help but ponder.

This concerns his father's health, and Wang Zheng plans to ask him for information later.

...

After Wang Zheng followed Bart into the air-raid shelter, and as they went deeper inside, Wang Zheng began to carefully observe this temporary refuge.

This is an air-raid shelter built during the war years of the last century. The entire shelter looks very simple. Apart from the outermost iron gate, there is only a long staircase corridor leading to the underground hall. There is nothing else.

Moreover, this shelter appears to have been out of use for a long time. Due to lack of maintenance, it looks dilapidated, with mottled walls that are bulging due to dampness and covered with large patches of mold.

Because of poor ventilation, the smell inside was also not very pleasant.

The wall lights in the corridor were also flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, due to insufficient power supply.

Fortunately, everyone involved was a superhuman and used to fighting, so they were already grateful to have a safe haven.

Besides, if you really can't see, you can use your superpowers to light the way. As for the smell...

The city outside was filled with corpses rotting in the high temperatures, and the smell was probably no better than that inside the air-raid shelter.
