"We are here to help our teammates carry out the mission. As for the supplies you mentioned, I'm not very clear..." Zhou Zhiguo said to the group of people with a cold look in his eyes.
“…” The surroundings were quiet.
"Who knows whether what you said is true or false..." At this time, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"That's it...that's it..." Then someone else echoed
"Whether there are supplies in the cave or not is up to you..." another person also shouted.
For a moment, everyone was talking and the scene became a little chaotic.
"Brother Bai said before that he saw the supplies in the cave with his own eyes. How could that be false?" someone in the crowd said loudly.
"that is..."
"Their officials must be trying to keep this a secret."
“No way…”
“That’s right…”
"I've made myself very clear, but if you insist on breaking in, you can just come forward and try now..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at the group of people in front of him, he took a deep breath and spoke again, his tone firm and powerful, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.
"you..."
"..." Everyone's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, and some even wanted to move forward. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control again, suddenly, Zhou Zhiguo threw the fireball in his hand towards the empty space in front of the crowd.
"Boom..." A fireball exploded in front of people, and a loud and powerful sound rang out on the mountainside.
The few people who were rushing in the front and shouting were relatively close to the fireball. Because the incident happened suddenly, they were frightened and retreated hurriedly. After the fireball exploded, the huge noise and movement scared everyone.
Many people's faces turned pale, and some people were even unable to dodge, and the sparks jumped onto their bodies and set their clothes on fire. The water-based mutants nearby hurried to help put out the fire, and were in a panic for a while.
The surroundings returned to silence again. People looked at Zhou Zhiguo angrily, but did not dare to act rashly. After all, the commotion just now had intimidated everyone. They also knew that their own strength was no match for the man in front of them.
"..." The group of people who were at a loss looked at Long Minnan who was standing next to them, waiting for his decision.
Zhou Zhiguo had been observing everyone's reactions, while also looking at the silent man. He found that Long Minnan's expression did not change much from beginning to end, and he did not even react much to the supplies mentioned just now.
Instead, when he mentioned the mission, he gave him a meaningful look. Zhou Zhiguo realized that perhaps this person's real purpose was not the so-called supplies at all, but Chen Ruoruo.
He deliberately had people fan the flames among the crowd, probably to confuse the audience and cause a bigger conflict, so that he could take Chen Ruoruo away. I think this person also knew how important Chen Ruoruo was. No matter what the reason was, he would never let Chen Ruoruo be taken away by them.
"Everyone..." Zhou Zhiguo
"exist..."
"These people must be strictly guarded and not allowed to leave..." Zhou Zhiguo ordered seriously without question.
"Yes..." the team members answered loudly.
Zhou Zhiguo looked at Long Minnan and the others, feeling that something was amiss. It seemed they had to get Chen Ruoruo back to base as soon as possible. There was no guarantee that others might have gotten wind of the news and were on their way. To avoid complications, they had to leave as soon as possible. After giving his instructions to the team, he turned and went back to discuss things with Qi Jiang.
"Captain Qi, we can't stay here for long. We need to leave as soon as possible..." Zhou Zhiguo
"Yes, no problem." Qi Jiang
"But Captain Qi, Ruoruo..." Xia Xiaoying pointed at the cave entrance, her meaning was self-evident.
"This?" Zhou Zhiguo looked at the hole blocked by the iron gate and looked at Xia Xiaoying and Qi Jiang with a puzzled look.
"We can only wait for her to come out..." Xia Xiaoying said and went to the side to pack her things.
Zhou Zhiguo had no other choice but to face this. The cave entrance was sealed tightly and he had no way to open it. Even the gold-type mutants in the team were powerless against the vault door blocking the cave entrance. They could only wait for Chen Ruoruo to come out.
During this period, Xia Xiaoxue and the others told Qi Jiang everything about their experiences in the mountains, including the abnormalities of the mutated plants and animals on the mountain, the food Chen Ruoruo gave them, the improvement of their abilities after drinking water, and the situation of Long Minnan and others. After listening, Zhou Zhiguo also knew why Long Minnan wanted to take Chen Ruoruo away.
After Zhou Zhiguo and Qi Jiang arrived, Chen Ruoruo went into the cave to continue her nap. Anyway, there was no need for her to intervene outside now. After all, they brought so many people here. She was thinking that after waking up, she would return to her previous peaceful life.
It was already past noon when she woke up again. After putting the vault door at the cave entrance into the space, she looked at the group of people sitting next to the cave entrance and was stunned for a long time.
"Ruoruo, you're awake..." Xia Xiaoxue
"You... haven't left yet?" Chen Ruoruo blinked and frowned and asked in confusion.
"No...no..." Xia Xiaoxue smiled awkwardly.
"Ms. Chen, I have something to discuss with you..." When Zhou Zhiguo saw Chen Ruoruo coming out, he immediately stepped forward and spoke directly to her.
"What's the matter?" Chen Ruoruo asked Zhou Zhiguo with an unhappy expression. It seemed that she had nothing to do with the official army. She had given them so many supplies last time and had already repaid the favor. This person wouldn't want supplies from her again, right?
"Is it convenient for us to go inside and talk?" Zhou Zhiguo looked at Long Minnan and his group not far away, then pointed at the hole behind Chen Ruoruo, indicating that they needed a secret place to communicate.
"Wait a minute..." Chen Ruoruo frowned and stared at Zhou Zhiguo for a long time, then slowly spoke.
"Okay..." Zhou Zhiguo responded readily.
Afterwards, Chen Ruoruo entered the cave and put the RV, air purifier, batteries, etc. in the cave into the space, leaving only a recliner and a table, and then went out to bring Zhou Zhiguo into the cave.
Zhou Zhiguo didn't expect Chen Ruoruo to agree to let him enter the cave so easily. After entering, he found that the space inside was very large. There was a headlight connected to a battery at the entrance, which illuminated the entire cave very brightly. The walls around the cave were basically poured with cement, and they were square as if they were smashed out by someone.
There is also a relatively large water sink on one wall. I don’t know if the water that Xia Xiaoying and the others mentioned was taken from here by Chen Ruoruo. The whole cave is very empty. There are no mountains of supplies. Except for a table and a recliner, there is almost nothing in the cave, not even a bed.
