Chapter 162 Rescue

Mu Qingyu roughly knew what was going on, but she didn't care about Xiao Shiyang's hesitant expression. She pushed open the door and entered the company on the tenth floor.

Pushing open the door, all I could see were a group of naked people.

There are both men and women.

Regardless of what was happening outside, they mostly knelt numbly in one corner after another, seemingly without any sense of shame about being naked.

There are many iron cages in the company; I don't know where Jia Wenkai got them from. Each iron cage is filled with people.

The people locked in the cages were not only naked, but each one was covered in blood. They were still moving, so they probably weren't dead.

But in this post-apocalyptic environment, there's a lack of medicine and doctors. Even a small wound can become infected and be fatal, so how can such a serious injury be treated?

No wonder Xiao Shiyang didn't dare to come in. It wasn't that he was afraid to face the scene; he was afraid to face those lives that were still alive but that he couldn't save.

When Mu Qingyu entered, most of them looked at her with indifferent eyes, and some didn't even look at her, as if no one in this world had anything to do with them.

Of course, there were also a few people who looked at Mu Qingyu with fear in their eyes.

Mu Qingyu also stepped out of the door, grabbed the second man, and asked, "Qian Zhong, do you know where the key to the cage inside is?"

Qian Zhong, the second male's name, came running over eagerly upon hearing Mu Qingyu's summons: "I really don't know, and I'm not qualified to know. But..."

He flashed a fawning smile: "We can definitely find it on Brother Kai... oh no, on Jia Wenkai!"

Without waiting for Mu Qingyu's instructions, he eagerly went to search Jia Wenkai's body.

The key wasn't actually on Jia Wenkai, but it was found on the metal-type ability user next to him—they were quite good at picking who to take care of the key; the metal-type ability user could transform the key at any time.

Thankfully, the metal-type ability user is dead.

Once the key was found, Mu Qingyu instructed Man Jia and Qian Zhong to go inside and open all the cages in the room—although it seemed pointless since most of the people inside couldn't be saved, letting them out of the cages and covering them with clothes might allow them to die with some dignity.

Throughout the entire process, Xiao Shiyang remained silent. He pursed his lips tightly and busily used the medicine and bandages Mu Qingyu had given him to bandage and stop the bleeding for Huang Jie and Mu Song.

As for Wu Peng, all that could be done was to give him painkillers. Faced with Wu Peng's serious injuries, Xiao Shiyang felt just as powerless as when facing the people inside.

When Man A and Qian Zhong came out, their faces were deathly pale.

The room looked like a den of iniquity, but it was actually filled with a hellish atmosphere of despair.

Male A and Qian Zhong were not exactly villains, and the scenes inside were quite unbearable for them.

"Grandma, what should we do about the people inside?" Qian Zhong ran over to ask Mu Qingyu.

Most of the people locked in the cages could not be saved, and many women, terrified of being abused, knelt on the ground, too afraid to move, without Jia Wenkai's orders.

It contains both women and men, all of whom were once at the very bottom of Jia Wenkai's empire.

"I've already opened the warehouse door on the eleventh floor. There are still a lot of clothes, food, and medicine up there. Go and get some for them," Mu Qingyu said.

"I won't touch anything in there anymore. Tell them that Jia Wenkai and his cronies are all dead, and Zhao Daqiang won't be coming back. There will be supplies in October. Everyone, take care of yourselves."

Mu Qingyu did not intend to shoulder such a heavy responsibility; this was all she could do, and she had done her utmost.

After hearing Mu Qingyu's words, Qian Zhong hesitated several times before finally saying nothing and went to the eleventh floor with the male student.

Seeing that Xiao Shiyang was in a daze, Mu Qingyu said to him, "All the useful supplies in the Guangyue Building have been gathered on the eleventh floor by Jia Wenkai. I've already taken what I needed."

"Go up and grab some supplies now and take them back. Don't forget your purpose for going out is to collect supplies. So many people in the entire theater are counting on you for their livelihood."

Xiao Shiyang looked at Mu Qingyu with a blank expression and asked her, "Tell me, why can people be so evil?" He couldn't understand how those people could do things that were even worse than animals when faced with the same kind of human beings.

Xiao Shiyang had been thinking about this question for a long time, but still had no answer.

Mu Qingyu didn't have an answer to this question either. So Mu Qingyu could only continue, "I'll go outside and find you a few cars that you can drive. You figure out a way to take Huang Jie and the others back. I won't go back with you."

This was originally Mu Qingyu's plan; she just said it out loud now.

Xiao Shiyang finally came to his senses, no longer trying to communicate with Mu Qingyu at the same time: "You...you're leaving?"

Mu Qingyu nodded: "I came to the city to find something, there's no reason for me to stay cooped up in your theater all day."

Xiao Shiyang remained silent. He really wanted to ask Mu Qingyu what would happen to the people still alive here, but he knew it wasn't Mu Qingyu's responsibility, so why should she care?

When Qian Zhong heard that Mu Qingyu was looking for a car, he volunteered, "I know where Jia Wenkai and his group's car is hidden!"

So he took Mu Qingyu to the underground parking lot of Guangyue.

Many cars here were submerged during the flood.
