Immediately, a long line of apostles filed in, covered with large, water-soaked blankets, and rushed in to surround the two men.
The torches that flew out bounced off the soaked blanket, serving no purpose whatsoever.
Chen Nian and his father were immediately apprehended, and the supermarket was completely overrun...
In this supermarket robbery, the Frost Society lost four polar suits and one apostle was burned. Enraged, the captain wrote down two names as "vegetables" and set their execution for the afternoon of the following day.
Xu Neng never expected to see Chen Nian for the second time in a death row cell. At that time, he was being taken by his subordinates to visit the base. In the dark and crowded "vegetable camp", he spotted Chen Nian who had just been pushed into the prison.
"Useless as expected, caught so quickly, and couldn't even save his life." Xu Neng glanced at him coldly and left.
He was busy until almost dawn before returning to his residence. Although he lay in bed for a long time, he couldn't fall asleep.
"That man just now, his name is Chen Nian, right? He's the man Wang Feifei was willing to risk her life to save last time."
Should we tell her?
After much hesitation, Xu Neng finally dialed Wang Feifei's number. It would have been better if she hadn't seen it; if she had and hadn't said anything, it would have been a cover-up, and he didn't want a thorn in their side forever.
On the other end of the phone, Wang Feifei was sleeping soundly in her warm bed when she was woken up by a phone call.
The only people who can call her now are Chen Nian and Xu Neng. She doesn't even need to guess; it must be Xu Neng disturbing her sleep so early in the morning.
When Wang Feifei's slightly grumpy voice reached Xu Neng's ears, it was a great comfort to him, who had been on edge since entering the base, indicating that Wang Feifei was doing well outside.
Xu Neng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he spoke slowly and deliberately: "Chen Nian is probably dying soon."
Wang Feifei immediately woke up, her eyes widening instantly:
"What did you say? What happened to Chen Nian? Has the supermarket been taken over by the Ice Society so quickly?"
"Yes, Chen Nian is currently on death row."
Upon hearing this, Wang Feifei remained silent for a long time; her worst fears had come true.
Having experienced her past life, Wang Feifei knew all too well how terrifying they were. She never intended to provoke the Hanbing Society, and even if she wanted to save people, she had no way to do so.
She knew she couldn't leave the community on her own, and that a long power outage could start at any time. If she went out rashly, she might never be able to return to the safe house.
This time, there's really no other way...
Xu Neng was a little surprised that she hadn't spoken for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask her:
"What, you don't want to save him this time?"
"I want to save them! But I can't..."
After another long silence, Xu could hear the sadness in her voice, so he sighed and said, "Perhaps, I can save him."
"What did you say? You can save him? Have you been arrested too?"
Xu Neng sighed and said, "Well, I'm at the Frost Society's base right now, but I wasn't arrested. It's just... well, it's a long story."
Hope rekindled in Wang Feifei's eyes: "Xu Neng, do you have a way to save him?"
"It might be possible to spare him the death penalty, but it's unlikely that he'll regain his freedom and leave the base alive."
Wang Feifei understood what those words meant. If Chen Nian survived, he would be a member of the Ice Society. They didn't support idlers, so he would most likely be a "worker"...
"It's alright, as long as you're alive."
"Wang Feifei".
"Um?"
"Are you mistaken into thinking that rescuing someone from death row is easy? Aren't you worried about my safety?"
"..."
Wang Feifei hadn't really thought about this. No matter how capable Xu Neng was, he was still fighting against the entire organization alone. Although he casually mentioned that he had a way to save him, it would definitely be extremely dangerous.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think about your safety. I was too anxious just now. Thank you for telling me that Chen Nian was in danger. Xu Neng, are you alright over there?"
"I'm not in any danger. Were you just worried about me?" Xu Neng's lips curled up.
"Yes, I hope you can save Chen Nian while also protecting yourself."
“I can save him, but on one condition.” A sly glint appeared in Xu Neng’s eyes.
"What are the conditions?" Wang Feifei tensed up. Her biggest secret right now was the safe house; he couldn't possibly be thinking...
"I have three questions that you must answer truthfully. Can you do that?"
"Huh? Three questions, that's a lot!"
Wang Feifei was in a dilemma. This was practically a "life-or-death question." If he asked her where she was, she definitely couldn't tell him. What should she do?
"What? You don't want to?" Xu Neng deliberately provoked her.
"I'm willing! But... I need to... make it clear beforehand that there's one question you can't ask, is that... alright?"
"What's the problem? Tell me."
“You can’t ask me my exact location,” Wang Feifei replied hastily.
"Okay, sure, it's settled then. You answer three questions for me, and I'll go rescue Chen Nian."
"Okay." Wang Feifei was nervous, but she still agreed. As for the questions, they were half true and half false, and he wouldn't be able to tell. It wasn't a big problem.
Xu Neng organized his thoughts and said:
"My first question is, you asked me to save him, and I want to know why Chen Nian is so important that you've saved him time and time again."
The question wasn't difficult, and Wang Feifei answered it almost without hesitation:
"Because he once saved me, and he was very good to me. In this world, there are no more people who are unconditionally good to me, except for him, so I want to save him!"
"Is it that simple? Just repaying a debt of gratitude?" Xu Neng stroked his chin and asked incredulously.
"Yes, that's right."
Judging from her tone, she didn't seem to be lying. Xu Neng lowered his head and smiled, thinking that the two of them didn't seem to have a very deep relationship...
It turned out that Chen Nian wasn't really a rival in love, which made Xu Neng feel much more relaxed. He then asked the next question:
"The second question you need to answer me truthfully is: why are you able to foresee so many things? This applies to the end times, and it also applies to the Ice Age."
Wang Feifei was shocked. The second question was already a bombshell? How was she supposed to answer that? She certainly couldn't tell the truth that she had been reborn.
She frantically searched her mind for examples of "precognition" and finally remembered a horror movie she had watched many years ago called "Final Destination".
In the movie, the protagonist escaped death through a dream, so let's use the dream method!
"Because I had a very vivid dream in which all these things actually happened, I was terrified when I woke up, so I made preparations in advance."
Just because of a dream? Xu Neng didn't know whether to believe this explanation, but regardless of whether what she said was true or not, "precognition" did exist, which explained all the previous doubts.
"So what else did you dream about besides these?" Xu Neng asked the question almost without thinking.
"Is this the third question?" Wang Feifei couldn't have been happier that the three questions were over.
"No, never mind, I won't ask about it."
"What else do you want to know?"
