Li Feng boarded Li Yiyuan's bus, with his teammates following behind in pickup trucks.
The moment he got in the car, Li Feng's expression changed just as quickly. His previous fawning demeanor instantly turned into disgust and a look of utter displeasure.
"This bastard really thinks he's a human being."
Li Yiyuan, driving the car, said with gratitude, "Thanks to you, otherwise I might not have been able to get away so easily. Thanks."
Li Feng was immediately displeased and pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Brother Li, you're too polite with me. This is too formal."
He got up from his seat and went to look at the children in the back. He had gotten to know them quite well after spending those days at the orphanage.
"Brother Li Feng!"
The children recognized him and rushed forward to hug his legs, shouting enthusiastically.
Li Feng hurriedly reached out and wrapped his arms around them, afraid that they would fall during the bumpy ride.
"Slow down, slow down, be careful, hold on to the armrests, and stand firmly."
After the children had stopped standing, Li Feng looked up at Tang Ling and greeted her.
"Sister Tang."
Seeing that he was alright, Sister Tang smiled happily and casually asked:
"What about millet and wheat?"
Li Feng had no way of finding out anything about them, so he could only tell the truth:
"They found a team to go to Province C before the snow, so the journey wasn't delayed, and they should all be home by now."
Hearing that they had returned home, Tang Ling was also happy.
"That's good."
Li Feng chatted with Sister Tang for a few minutes, settled the children in their seats, and then returned to the passenger seat.
Li Yiyuan heard him talk about the situation with millet and wheat, and still asked a question out of concern.
"Where did you find this team? Are they reliable?"
Speaking of this, Li Feng wasn't very confident, so there was a worried look on his face.
"There's no such thing as a 100% reliable person these days."
He recently witnessed many relatives at the base fighting tooth and nail over a single steamed bun.
"They were recruited from the base. They are all people who are going back to Province C. They formed their own team. The leader seems honest enough and has a wife and children."
"Furthermore, the team is relatively clean, with men of all ages, compared to the other teams..."
Li Feng recounted the situation in detail, and Li Yiyuan felt somewhat relieved after listening.
In comparison, that team is indeed more suitable for them. As long as there are no major accidents along the way, there shouldn't be any problems.
In any case, they have done all they can; the rest is up to them.
I hope they get home safely.
From that sluice gate, it takes about ten minutes to drive around the seaside to get to the base. Li Feng then explained his current situation and the general situation of the base.
Upon hearing this, Li Yiyuan's face darkened horribly, and the veins on his hands gripping the steering wheel bulged, his fingertips turning white.
"Wasn't anyone in the base willing to stop it?"
Li Feng seemed to have already come to terms with it, and gave a mocking smile.
"They're all in cahoots, and all crows are black. Unless their own interests are involved, those factions won't interfere with each other."
As he spoke, his expression became more serious.
"Brother Li, you must not expose your superpower. Although the conditions inside will be tough, it's better than being targeted by someone."
Li Yiyuan knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Li Feng deliberately lowered his voice and continued:
"I've heard some rumors lately that many people with superpowers went missing during the heavy snow. The official story is that they disappeared while on a mission."
But everyone knows that with such heavy snow, people can't even get out, so where would the mission come from?
"There's a lab in the base, supposedly dedicated to researching antidotes for the zombie virus, but I suspect it's more than that..."
Li Yiyuan stared at the road ahead with deep, dark eyes. The winding road seemed like a giant python in the darkness, its jaws wide open, ready to devour people.
However, compared to the giant python, this car was as small as an ant.
"Brother Li, there's no need to worry too much. We ordinary people are fine, except that we are sometimes skimped on supplies and squeezed more during missions."
"I've also saved up some base points, so I can move from Zone C to Zone B, and I don't have to worry about the children's safety."
After expanding the safe zone at the Haishi base, the area where the survivors lived was divided into four areas: C, B, A, and S, based on their living environment.
Zone C consists of ordinary prefabricated houses, as well as small single rooms crammed with eight or nine people, a mixed bag of people, but each month you only need to pay 100 points for a bed.
Area B is relatively better; it's the old apartment building with one-bedroom apartments. Although there are many people living on each floor, at least it's one family per household, and you get 500 points per month.
Area A is like the pre-apocalyptic apartment complex, with two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and even four-bedroom units available, and the points price is doubled.
Area S is for the wealthy and powerful, consisting of detached villas and courtyards.
Li Yiyuan didn't want to take advantage of Li Feng, after all, he hadn't earned those points easily, and was about to politely decline when Li Feng, as if knowing this, interrupted him first.
"Brother Li, don't be so quick to refuse. When we get to the base, we'll have to collect supplies again at the gate, and there's a high chance this vehicle won't be saved either."
"Without points, you'll initially be assigned to an open-air shed area for temporary relief. That place is even more chaotic than Zone C; all sorts of people come there, and it's unsafe for children."
"You and Sister Xin helped me a lot before, so these points are nothing. Besides, I'm definitely going back to my hometown, so there's no use keeping the points at the Haishi base."
Hearing Li Xin'er mentioned again by Li Feng, Li Yiyuan was momentarily dazed.
He had been deliberately trying not to think about anything related to Li Xin'er. After that incident at the library, he should have realized that his Xin'er was gone.
He snapped out of his thoughts and accepted Li Feng's kind offer.
"I'll return it to you later. Even if you don't need it, you can use the points to exchange for some supplies to take with you when you leave."
Li Feng gave a bitter smile, sighed, and shook his head.
"Hey, how could this kind of exploitative base just stand by and watch me leave with so many supplies? Even if I'm not a superhuman, I'd have to leave discreetly now."
Li Yiyuan pursed his thin lips. He knew the base wouldn't be any better, but it was the only way he could think of to settle the children.
Seeing that Li Yiyuan did not answer, Li Feng roughly guessed what he was thinking and quickly comforted him:
"However, Brother Li, you don't need to worry too much. After all, they have an official title, so no matter how shameless they are in private, they wouldn't dare to openly do it in public."
As long as we ordinary people are careful, the children's safety is definitely guaranteed.
He tried to steer the conversation in a positive direction.
"Perhaps, once things are settled in Kyoto, they'll send someone to take over and intervene in these bases. That will be much better."
Li Yiyuan nodded, cooperating readily, "Yes, you're right."
