Zhao Xiaoxiu had barely set up her stance for two minutes when Sheng Qingyang arrived at the territory entrance.
Two members of the Green Field Alliance stood at the entrance, watching her stride into Territory No. 13. It wasn't until she was almost at the base of the flower wall that they realized someone had gone in.
Both of them were evolved beings, and they quickly realized that this woman must also be an evolved being, but they didn't know the specific direction of her evolutionary abilities.
The two reported the news to Steven, who smiled slightly. "Very good. I was just worried that no one would help tell Zhao Yong about the current situation in Area B. This person has come at the right time."
"Master." Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled obediently when she saw Sheng Qingyang, looking like she was practicing hard.
Normally, Sheng Qingyang would definitely come over to supervise his little apprentice's practice.
Today, however, he simply nodded and said to her, "Remember to practice the new moves you learned a few days ago ten times."
He then strode toward Zhao Gang and the others in the open space of the side courtyard.
"Master?" Zhao Xiaoxiu called softly, but Sheng Qingyang didn't turn around. It was unclear what had made her so anxious.
Is the situation serious?
Zhao Xiaoxiu stood on tiptoe and looked over the wall, only to see two members of the Green Wilderness Alliance loitering at the entrance to their territory.
As for what was happening further away, she couldn't observe it.
However, Zhao Xiaoxiu's keen senses still detected something unusual—B area was very noisy today.
As for why it was so noisy, Sheng Qingyang gave an answer.
"Nobody can get out. The Green Wilderness Alliance has surrounded all the entrances and exits. Anyone who tries to go out will be killed. This situation is very bad!"
While telling Zhao Gang about the situation outside, Sheng Qingyang asked in confusion, "What exactly did you do? I heard that the person the Green Wilderness Alliance was looking for broke in. What? Is that person here now?"
She spun around in a circle, her eyes searching for anyone suspicious.
Meng Er glanced at Zhao Gang, and seeing that he didn't react, immediately pointed to the area in Zhao Gang's living room: "The person is inside, you can't see them."
After saying that, he smiled at Sheng Qingyang as if he didn't care about money, but Sheng Qingyang only glanced at him politely and immediately turned his gaze to Zhao Gang, who was calm as if nothing had happened.
"Why don't you hand them over?" she asked, genuinely puzzled. She recalled seeing Steven and the others at the park exit this morning when she tried to leave. She could tell at a glance that they were people who would stop at nothing to survive.
"What you're doing will put Kosode in danger as well. I don't know what secrets this person is hiding, but are they more important than Kosode's life?"
The Green Field Alliance members are like mad dogs; once they've set their sights on someone, they can come up with a million ways to retaliate.
They are currently in the park, and while they are wary of the base's military, they are not worried about what will happen to them for the time being. However, no one can stay in the park forever.
Sheng Qingyang lifted his leg, intending to go into the hall to see the important figure being chased by the Green Wilderness Alliance.
"Wait a minute!" Meng Er suddenly reached out to pull her back.
Sheng Qingyang instinctively and quickly moved to the side, dodging the outstretched hand, and looked at Meng Er with a cold gaze, "What are you doing?"
Meng Er thought to himself, Gangzi was right, she really is a woman not to be trifled with.
He awkwardly withdrew his hand and scratched his neck, then boldly gestured for Sheng Qingyang to come closer, as he had something to say to her.
"Is there something you're hiding?" Sheng Qingyang didn't even turn her head, glaring at the man in front of her who made her uncomfortable.
He seemed slippery and cunning, but when he saw a woman, he would unleash his male hormones like a peacock spreading its tail. To be honest, Sheng Qingyang had disliked him for a long time, but he hadn't beaten him up because he was Zhao Gang's friend.
When Meng Er saw Sheng Qingyang's disgusted expression, he was stunned. He didn't know what he had done that caused her to misunderstand him like this.
He was just a little more enthusiastic when he saw her, and he always tried to help her whenever he had the chance. He didn't seem to have done anything annoying, did he?
However, that's not the point right now. Seeing that Sheng Qingyang refused to come closer, Meng Er rarely showed a serious expression. He gestured for her to wait a while and turned around to look for suitable props in the courtyard.
He happened to see Zhao Xiaoxiu's row of practice wooden stakes, so he moved the thickest one to the open ground and reminded Sheng Qingyang to pay attention. Then he took a deep breath, raised one hand, clenched his fist, and punched the wooden stake that was half a meter in diameter.
With a muffled thud, Sheng Qingyang saw his fist sink into the wooden stake, his eyes wide with surprise.
If she wasn't mistaken, the hand suddenly lost its soft elasticity a second before it made contact with the wood, like a plaster cast hand molded from a mold, hammered deep into the high-density wooden stake.
Power-type evolvers can also achieve this level after systematic training, but Sheng Qingyang knew very well that the 'peacock spreading its tail' in front of him named Meng Qiu was just an ordinary person.
At least until they met today, he was.
But clearly, he was no longer an ordinary person at this moment.
Meng Er kept staring at Sheng Qingyang, so he didn't miss the fleeting look of surprise on her face. She turned her head and revealed a smug expression, but then immediately put her expression away, straightened up, put one hand in her pocket, and shook her head.
Meng Da covered his face and coughed lightly, feeling that his younger brother was a bit embarrassing.
After an eerie five-second silence, Zhao Gang spoke first: "I have obtained all the people and things Steven was looking for, and we have used them all. There's no going back."
Sheng Qingyang didn't ask him what they had used, because she had already guessed roughly and was shocked.
She admired Zhao Gang and his group's boldness, but was also worried about what would happen next.
As the group stared at each other in silence, Zhao Xiaoxiu called out from the doorway, "Dad, there's a phone call!"
And the person on the other end of the phone said to her in a sinister tone, "Sweetie, let your dad answer the phone."
Zhao Xiaoxiu, suppressing a chill, held the phone up to Zhao Gang, covered the receiver, and whispered, "It's that Steven."
Zhao Gang patted the child's head, smoothed down a tuft of hair sticking up on her head, and answered the phone.
Everyone immediately moved closer to Zhao Gang, straining their ears to hear what Steven had to say.
Zhao Gang was speechless at their antics, so he simply turned on speakerphone.
"Speak," Zhao Gang said succinctly.
Someone on the other end seemed to be amused by his words, letting out a cold laugh before speaking in a tone of authority, bestowing the following words:
"Zhao Gang, I know you've already got the box and are struggling with the password, right? It's okay, I can give you a chance. As long as you hand over the box and the baby intact, you can name your price. Do you want points, food, or guns and ammunition? You name it."
Zhao Gang didn't say anything; the phone was filled with the soft whistling of a spring breeze.
