Ding Feng's lips curled up in a mocking smile:

"Do you think just anyone can give birth to a superhuman? If that were the case, superhumans wouldn't be so rare."

Then, thinking of something, Pei Nansheng's face turned pale.

Ding Fengpo was very satisfied with Pei Nansheng's reaction. Why was it that he was living a life of poverty and hardship, while Pei Nansheng and his sister were living so comfortably? Why was that?!

Those wolf cubs who ruined my Ding family, may you all go to hell!

Ding Fengpo's gaze hardened, but his tone became increasingly gentle:

"Your mother's bloodline is exceptional, rare in the world. How could the Ding family easily let go of such a precious resource? It's just a pity..."

At this point, Ding Fengpo paused, then shook his head and said:

"They were too stubborn and suffered a lot. In the end, they still had to give in. Tsk tsk tsk, they were so miserable."

Pei Nansheng clenched his fists involuntarily, his heart filled with extreme anger, wishing he could immediately rescue his suffering mother.

Zuo Ling didn't believe Ding Fengpo's words. Calculating the age, Pei Nansheng's mother was at least 60 years old, and with the apocalypse, could the Ding family really keep her alive until now? It might be possible if it were Xiao Hao's mother.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Ding Fengpo slowly stood up, left a sentence, and was about to leave.

"etc."

Zuo Ling stopped the two of them, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Ding Fengpo frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed: "Even if we bring it up, will you agree?"

He chuckled to himself:

"Heh, my grandson and I will still have to make a living at the base in the future. I heard that you two have extraordinary status at the base. We don't want to be targeted by you. We're just here to curry favor and ask for peace."

After saying that, he staggered forward without looking back, but Ding Xiaoya turned around and glanced at the brother and sister.

Zuo Ling was alright, but Pei Nansheng felt terrible.

Back then, Ding Xiaoya would call him "brother" affectionately every day, but now she can't even say a word to him.

The Ding family collapsed overnight, and she, a young girl, must have suffered a lot. Sigh, it's understandable that she hates herself.

Watching the two figures walk further and further away, Zuo Ling was filled with doubt.

Ding Fengpo didn't make any demands. Did they really come here seeking peace?

As evening approached, Bai Hongwei arrived at Zuo Ling's house, just in time for dinner.

"How was it? Did you get anything?" Zuo Ling asked him.

Bai Hongwei frowned. "Half and half."

What does that mean? The brother and sister waited for his explanation.

"In the past month and a half, a total of 331 people entered the base. Of these, 226 can be contacted, while the whereabouts of the remaining 105 are unknown. After comparing information from various sources, it was determined that 32 of them disappeared within an hour before the curfew was declared."

Bai Hongwei's face looked very grim.

What does it mean that they disappeared an hour before martial law was declared? It means that someone tipped off Elder Ding, and most of the missing people were there to spread misinformation.

The brother and sister naturally understood such a simple truth.

Pei Nansheng asked, "Where are Liu Bao'er's family?"

Liu Bao'er left a very deep impression on him, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered that strange child.

"The neighbors said they were still at home before martial law was declared, but after it was declared, they couldn't find them anywhere."

"Liu Guojun works at the plantation. Did he not come to work today?" Zuo Ling asked.

"The gatekeeper said that a man claiming to be Liu Guojun's neighbor came looking for him, saying that Liu Bao'er's mother asked him to pass on a message, asking Liu Guojun to come back. Liu Guojun disappeared after leaving the plantation."

In fact, it wasn't just Liu Guojun's family; several other people were in similar situations. They were all called away for various reasons half an hour before martial law was declared, and then they disappeared.

Bai Hongwei felt that a dark hand was manipulating everything, a feeling that made him very uneasy, and he felt that something big was about to happen.

"Could it be that he was..."

Pei Nansheng didn't continue speaking, and Bai Hongwei and Zuo Ling understood what he meant.

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Hongwei said:

"We cannot determine their whereabouts at the moment. Perhaps they just encountered some accident. I will send more people to continue the search."

Even so, in his mind, those people were either dead or had run away.

What worried him was not Elder Ding, but the hidden force lurking among them.

You can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family. You can't sleep soundly until you find the thief in your own family.

Bai Hongwei had come on important business today, and was about to speak when Zuo Ling interrupted him:

"Oh, right, I was just about to tell you. My second uncle came to see us earlier, and he told us..."

Zuo Ling glanced at Pei Nansheng and continued, "My brother and Xiao Hao's mother are still alive. We plan to go and check on them."

Bai Hongwei was very surprised:

"Second Uncle? Old Master Ding is at the base? Holy crap!"

Ding Fengpo's name was not in the register. He either entered using a false name or through the passage provided by the Black Hand.

Bai Hongwei was completely baffled. Just how many things had that spy hiding in the base done that they didn't know about?

"Don't tell me you're lying. The Ding family was ruined by you, and there are only a few left. That old man definitely has bad intentions. I advise you to think it over carefully before making a decision."

"Whether he's lying or cheating, we're going, or we're not..."

I won't be able to leave without going; my brother and Xiao Hao will have regrets.

Bai Hongwei glanced at Pei Nansheng and said:

"Xiao Hao can't go anymore. He's on a mission and won't be back anytime soon."

"Huh? When did this happen?"

"You just left, and Chief Mei sent Xiao Hao out. I guess you guys angered the old man."
