Chapter 199 Gu Qinfeng Arrives
To put it bluntly, the team heading north to the capital is a suicide squad.
Wang Shijin wanted to join the army because he wanted to participate in the construction of the underground city. In this way, when the underground city was completed, he might be able to choose a good residence before others.
But if he was asked to go north to the capital to explore the way, forget it! He was not great enough to die for the people of the floating city.
Xia Xiaoman was puzzled, "Why do the higher-ups want to recruit soldiers to the capital at this time?"
Wang Shijin explained: "I heard that the capital's underground city has already taken shape, and the higher-ups want to send people to the capital to take a look and learn how the capital built its underground city, and to learn from their methods."
"The capital has already built an underground city? It really deserves to be the capital." Sun Qing looked admiring.
Wang Shijin nodded in agreement. "It's not just Fucheng that wants to learn from the capital. It seems Yancheng and the surrounding cities also want to learn from it. I guess they will go together to avoid accidents on the road."
Sun Qing said, "I haven't heard of this in Yuancheng, but during this period, Yuancheng often sent convoys to Yancheng. I don't know if they were going to discuss going north."
But she thought it was unlikely. Yuancheng was close to the sea, and the underground structure could hardly support them building an underground city.
The three of them chatted about something else, and when they saw it was getting late, Wang Shijin and Sun Qing said goodbye.

On a new day, Xia Xiaoman got up early to boil the pot, poured in a five-jin bag of brown rice and added water to boil. When the brown rice porridge was cooked and cooled down, she threw a few locusts in it and took it to the basement to feed the chickens and rabbits.
After raising these animals for so long, the locusts we collected are almost eaten up, and we can only feed them porridge made from brown rice that doesn't taste very good.
Xia Xiaoman squatted in front of the rabbit nest and counted them. There were 49 rabbits in total, and 34 of them were ready to be slaughtered. This was the number after she had eaten more than a dozen rabbits in a row. If she had not eaten them and just kept them like this, they would probably have multiplied to 70 or 80.
After thinking about it, Xia Xiaoman decided to kill 6 rabbits today, eat 2 rabbits now, and throw 4 rabbits away. Otherwise, there would be too many rabbits and the basement would be filled with the smell of rabbit urine.
They selected six big fat rabbits and didn't even give them a last meal. Instead, they were picked up and taken to the living room to have their throats cut and their blood drained.
When cutting the fifth rabbit, there was a sudden scream from outside. Xia Xiaoman's hands trembled and he almost cut off the rabbit's head.
Looking at the dead rabbit in her hand, Xia Xiaoman wiped the knife on the rabbit's belly without changing her expression. After wiping off the blood, she ran to the second-floor balcony to look outside.
Outside the wall, a man was tied in a huge iron cage, surrounded by a group of ferocious steel-toothed rabbits, which greedily gnawed at the iron cage, trying to bite through it and get in.
There were a few people standing nearby. The leader raised his hat and shouted in the direction of Xia Xiaoman: "Xia Xiaoman, long time no see! Didn't expect that we would meet again?"
The voice sounded familiar. Xia Xiaoman squinted and looked over. After staring at the silhouette in the dark for a long time, she finally recognized the person. "Gu Qinfeng? You escaped from prison?"
Gu Qinfeng's expression twisted when he heard this. He did not answer Xia Xiaoman's question. Instead, he reached into the cage, pulled the man in the cage by his hair, and forced him to show his face.
"Xia Xiaoman, take a look at who this is first. This is a gift I specially gave you. Do you like it?"
Seeing Li Yan's half-dead face in the cage, Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Why did you bring him here?"
Gu Qinfeng sneered, "Oh, you ask even though you know the answer. If you hadn't instigated this loser to deal with me, why would this idiot come to trouble me on purpose?"
Xia Xiaoman gathered her coat and said, "So? You can trick him into dealing with me, but can't I just tell him the truth?"
Gu Qinfeng snorted coldly: "What do you mean by facts? The fact is that you killed Li Yan's elder brother, and this idiot trusted you and came to deal with me. He is such a complete idiot!"
"Did I really kill his elder brother?" Xia Xiaoman raised an eyebrow and said, "When elder brother Li Yan was attacked, you could have saved him, but you just hesitated and procrastinated. I'm afraid you wanted to kill him and get a share of the spoils!"
Not sure if she was right, but as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qinfeng yelled in anger, "Bullshit! It was obviously you who set up that trap and harmed people, and you still have the nerve to let us take the blame!"
After saying that, he winked at the younger brother next to him, who opened the cage and put two steel-toothed rabbits in. As soon as the two steel-toothed rabbits entered the cage, they couldn't wait to gnaw on Li Yan's calf.
Li Yan screamed in pain and his legs kept struggling.
Gu Qinfeng looked at Xia Xiaoman, "Xia Xiaoman, this idiot came to trouble me because he listened to you. As long as you come out and apologize to us, I will let him go. How about it?"
Xia Xiaoman laughed as if she had heard a joke. "Gu Qinfeng, are you okay? He splashed blood on my wall again and again. I was already showing mercy by not killing him. You still want me to go out for him? Did your brain get caught in the door during the labor camp?"
Gu Qinfeng's face turned pale when he heard her words. He grabbed Li Yan's hair and forced him to look at Xia Xiaoman. "Idiot, open your dog eyes and see. You take her words as an imperial decree. You believe whatever she says, but she wishes you would die!"
Li Yan glanced at Xia Xiaoman with a wandering gaze, then turned back and glared at Gu Qinfeng, "You are not a good thing either! My brother trusts you so much, I trust you so much, and what about you? You are worse than a beast!"
"Heh, you still have the energy to scold me? It seems that there are not enough steel-toothed rabbits." As he said that, Gu Qinfeng winked at his younger brother next to him.
The younger brother opened the cage and put seven or eight steel-toothed rabbits in at once. After a while, Li Yan's wailing sound came from the cage.
Xia Xiaoman remained indifferent and even took out a piece of chocolate and ate it with relish.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoman was reluctant to come out, Gu Qinfeng was worried that he would fall into a trap if he climbed over the wall. After some hesitation, he decided to violently demolish the wall and use ice bricks to explore the way.
While smashing the wall, he did not forget to provoke Xia Xiaoman, "Xia Xiaoman, you are alone and there are six of us. I advise you to come out and admit your mistake. Maybe we will let you go if we are in a good mood. Otherwise, when we go in, we have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
Xia Xiaoman sneered, stuffed the remaining chocolate into his mouth, then went into the house and got a Molotov cocktail.
Back on the balcony, Xia Xiaoman lit the Molotov cocktail and threw it towards Gu Qinfeng and the others.
"I really give you face! I let you run away last time, but you dare to come again this time. Now that you are here, don't leave, all of you, stay here!"
