"I understand how you feel, and I also despise this bastard."
Su Zheng remained silent for a long time before speaking again in a hoarse voice: "But the K3 base exists to protect more displaced civilians and give them a safe place to live."
"If saving a girl today means sacrificing hundreds or thousands of brothers and leaving tens of thousands of people without a safe haven, what would you choose?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Ma Dongmei, fell silent.
Saving one person versus saving ten thousand is inherently a contradictory proposition.
Whichever you choose, you'll have regrets and pangs of conscience.
However, Lu Sheng was satisfied with Su Zheng's answer.
She was hoping the K3 base wouldn't follow! Otherwise, she'd have to figure out how to distribute the supplies after bombing Qinhuai City.
If K3 base doesn't come, she'll reluctantly accept all the supplies that Chen Dongsheng, the super courier, has stockpiled.
"Excuse me for bothering you."
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yu took the initiative to say goodbye to Su Zheng and his group.
"We need to continue our search in Qinhuai City, so we'll have to part ways here."
Ma Dongmei scoffed coldly, glancing sideways at Su Zheng with her spirited eyes, "He's not even as good as a few students."
"If it were Su Ke lying here today, could you still say these things with such righteous indignation?"
"I'll go with you."
After she finished speaking, she took off her K3 base combat suit, leaving only the black bodysuit underneath.
"I'll go too."
Lu Song took a deep breath and silently stood beside Ma Dongmei.
“Then… I’ll go too.” The bespectacled guy hesitated for a moment, but finally followed Lu Song.
Soon, Lin Xiaobao and several middle-aged men also stepped forward, expressing their desire to enter Qinhuai City with Lu Sheng and the others.
“Young Master Su, there have been several cases of underage girls being assaulted and killed in H City. We all have daughters. If we choose to remain silent today, one day when that beast lays his claws on our own children, there will be no one to stand up for us.” The middle-aged man in charge gave a bitter smile and saluted Su Zheng.
"While we may not be able to do anything to Chen Dongsheng, we can at least go in and investigate, and bring the news back to the base."
Lu Sheng: "..."
One Ma Dongmei is enough for her to handle, why are there so many more people?
Are you going on a spring outing?
So at the entrance of the Armed Police Hospital, everyone split into two teams.
A group led by Ma Dongmei and Lü Song followed Lu Sheng and the others toward Qinhuai City, while Su Zheng led the rest of the group back to the K3 base.
Qinhuai City is located in a no-man's-land on the outskirts of H City and at the border of a neighboring province.
Chen Dongsheng bought up all the villages and towns near the river and turned them into factories, so almost everything outside the outskirts of H City was within his sphere of influence.
"Get off the bus and walk in."
At the highway exit near the suburbs, Lu Sheng called for Sun Tiantian and the others to get out of the car.
The bespectacled young man peered out, puzzled, and said, "It's still raining..."
"There are private cars coming and going around here. Your military vehicle is too conspicuous. If you go in, you will be watched."
Lu Sheng took out an infrared telescope and looked at the heavily guarded bridge across the river in the distance. He then took out a few pieces of civilian clothes from his bag and tossed them to Ma Dongmei and Lin Xiaobao.
"I've changed my clothes too."
Seeing this, Lü Song and the remaining few people hurriedly took off their combat uniforms and changed into ordinary clothes.
As evening fell, the rain intensified, and the group, bundled in thick raincoats, struggled through the acid rain, finally reaching the passageway before the bridge sluice gates were closed.
At this time, two long lines had already formed at the bridgehead, all of them people waiting to go through security checks to enter Qinhuai City.
Lu Sheng glanced at it from afar and realized that the security checks in Qinhuai City were as strict as those at airplanes and high-speed trains.
Vehicles are not allowed to enter the city and must pay an additional management fee based on the size of the vehicle.
All packages must be inspected by instruments, and weapons must be deposited with a deposit and stored at the management office.
There are restrictions on the time and number of people allowed to pass each day, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. After that time, the gate will be closed.
A fixed number of 500 people are allowed to pass each day. If you don't get in, please come back early tomorrow.
Lu Sheng and her group were lucky; they managed to squeeze in just at the very end of the 500-person group.
"Chen Dongsheng has spies everywhere in Qinhuai City. Our large group is too conspicuous. It's best to split up."
Ma Dongmei was the person who knew Qinhuai City best among them, and she reminded them as soon as they passed through the security checkpoint and before they officially entered the city.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention, it was finally decided that Lu Sheng would be in a group of six, while the remaining people would be in their own groups and would communicate via walkie-talkies if needed.
We meet at a restaurant near the city entrance every afternoon at 3 p.m. to exchange information.
After the teams were divided, Lu Sheng and his group followed the crowd into the most bustling commercial district of Qinhuai City.
Although separated by only a river, the prosperity here and the desolate ruins outside seem like two different worlds.
The streets were filled with brightly lit shops and entertainment venues, and the prosperity was comparable to that of Sanlitun before the apocalypse.
Here, you can't feel any panic about the end of the world; all that's left is dazzling extravagance.
Lu Sheng and her companions were busy searching for a place to stay when a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.
"You little bitch, you don't know what's good for you. I'll fucking fucking you right here in the street today!"
Several burly men surrounded a girl of about twenty years old. One of the men, a middle-aged man who was the leader, straddled the girl and tried to tear off her clothes.
"Brother... I was wrong, please forgive me, please."
The girl was thin and small, with fair skin, looking like a pitiful little white flower, pleading bitterly with tears streaming down her face.
Two slender fingers gripped her collar tightly, her helpless eyes darting around.
pity.
Instead of showing any sympathy, the people around her wore lewd smiles and stared greedily at the large expanse of snow-white skin the girl had exposed.
"Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk! Everyone's watching!"
"When are you going to do it? I've already taken my pants off and this is what you show me?"
Scenes of public humiliation like this happen every day; the people here have long since become numb to it.
In Qinhuai City, strength and crystal cores are everything.
For the wealthy and powerful, this is paradise. Without the constraints of law, only the venting of animalistic instincts remains.
But for those struggling to make ends meet, this place is the edge of hell, where a single misstep could cost them their lives.
"I'll show you what I'm capable of today! Watch how my mighty pillar will fuck this little bitch to death!"
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the middle-aged man, his face covered in sweat, excitedly unbuckled his belt in full view of everyone.
"These people are beasts..."
Han Rui bit her lip and couldn't help but curse under her breath.
