it was evident that ah dong was giving them a warning.
«although i can help you talk to our bosses, the rules of our camp are quite strict. if you donât follow the rules, nobody will be able to help you.â
jiang liushi didnât say anything, but jiang zhuying showed an expression of disdain. they had experienced plenty of battles, and such a camp was unworthy in their eyes. therefore, none of them cared about such a trivial warning or felt intimidated.
ah dong was annoyed by the lack of response, but he recovered swiftly. then, he smiled and added, âiâll try to introduce you to our leader. he is quite interested in survivorsâ teams that come from outside. he can answer all of your questions. follow behind me.â
âno.â unexpectedly, jiang liushi refused ah dongâs invitation. they had not come to pay a visit to ah dongâs bosses or the leader.
ah dong felt confused, but he kept smiling. âsince itâs like that, iâll go to report. our leader will come back to meet you.â then, he winked at his teammates.
âi will go with you,â said xia shasha excitedly.
âno problem.â ah dong didnât stop her, and they entered.
jiang liushi asked after they all left, âxiyu, what do you think about this ah dong?â
âbrother jiang, i think that you donât need my advice on this matter. you should already have your answer,â replied ran xiyu.
âyouâre right. ah dong isnât a simple man, and heâs full of wicked ideas,â said jiang liushi. in truth, he didnât really care. all jiang liushi wanted was to get information. if they had any funny ideas, he was more than happy to test his strength on them.
currently, ah dong and xie shasha were inside. the factoryâs interior was complex and divided into many areas. in one of the rooms, a tall serious-looking man was sitting on a sofa. his body was full of tattoos, which made him look fierce. a beastâs tooth was also hanging around his neck like a necklace. he was so intimidating that nobody dared to look him in the eyes.
ah dong walked and stood before that man, bowing respectfully. âbrother xie.â
xie shasha also became polite and said, âbrother.â
xie feng looked up and glanced at ah dong, âgood job. you brought shasha back in one piece.â
âitâs my pleasure,â replied ah dong.
âbut why are you still standing here? whatâs the matter?â asked xie feng.
ah dong hesitated for a moment, but he said what was in his mind, âi heard from the other bosses that weâve received a secret order to capture a runaway criminal, but iâm not sureâ¦â then, he carefully observed xie fengâs expression as under normal circumstances he shouldnât have heard a conversation between the bosses.
xie feng asked with a sneer, âitâs true but none of your business. why are you asking? youâd better not have any funny ideas.â
upon hearing that, ah dong forced out a smile. âhow would i dare to do something like that? i asked because we met a group of people and felt that they are the wanted criminals.â
the moment xie feng heard that, he stared at ah dong. âreally? are you sure?â
âthe words shi ying were on their plates,â answered ah dong.
âwonderful!â xie feng became excited, while xie shasha got nervous. âah dong, stop spouting nonsense. brother, that is the one that rescued me. ah dong could not protect me at all. how could they be a group of wanted criminals?â
âshasha, can you please tell us the captainâs name?â asked ah dong with a wicked smile.
xie shasha hesitated because her next words could seal jiang liushiâs fate. xie feng stared at her like an eagle and ordered, âtell me!â
xie shasha was quite familiar with the expression on xie fengâs face. every time he was about to kill someone, that expression would appear on his face. naturally, xie shasha was intimidated and scared. she didnât dare to lie. âheâs called jiang liushiâ¦â
âjiang liushi? yes, itâs him!â xie feng smiled.
âbother xie, they are in our camp. although i recognized them, i tried not to raise suspicions and led them here,â explained ah dong.
xie shasha had never expected that ah dong would be such a scheming and despicable person.
xie feng roared in laughter. âthe news about the rewards of caching the criminals has been sent everywhere. they are a fat sheep! initially, we didnât stand a chance to catch them, but who could have thought that theyâd come knocking on our door?â xie feng felt as if it was raining money from heaven.
âexcellent, you did a good job!â xie feng praised ah dong.
ah dong revealed a smile, but he controlled his feelings. âitâs my great pleasure to be of help to brother xie.â in ah dongâs mind, xie feng could even give him xie shasha if he played his cards right. as long as he and xie shasha became a couple, xie feng would become his backer. to this end, ah dong would like to thank jiang liushi.
âbrother⦠what are planning to do?â asked xie shasha nervously,
âiâll kill him of course!â answered xie feng in a low voice.
âno, please donât.â xie shasha was almost scared to death and tried to convince him. âplease, let me try and invite him to join us. if he joins, you wonât have to kill him, right?â
ah dong sneered at the side. in his mind, xie shasha was a naive girl that had yet to understand the post-apocalyptic worldâs cruel rules.
xie feng didnât answer, but he just glanced at her. his cold eyes made xie shashaâs body tremble in fear, and she stopped talking.
âwhere are they?â asked xie feng.
âiâve invited them to enter, but they refused to get down of their bus. they sent me to invite you to meet them,â said ah dong.
xie feng smiled and said, âsince they want us to meet them, then we can only oblige.â
âgo call wang laosan and chen biexue,â ordered xie feng, stunning ah dong.
wang laosan and chen biexue were the other two bosses of the camp. among them, chen biexue could be ranked as the second most powerful in the camp. in ah dongâs mind, xie feng was enough to fight against jiang liushi. he could not help but wonder why they wanted to use a sledgehammer on a little fly,
xie feng tapped the sofaâs armrest with his finger. âaccording to the report we got, the shi ying squad is powerful. we need to kill them swiftly, or unexpected problems may arise.â when a lion struck a rabbit, it would do it with its full strength.

xie shasha fell into despair. chen biexue was a murderous butcher, well-known for torturing his opponents. although xie shasha didnât know the scope of jiang liushiâs strength, she could feel that he was not as strong as her brother.
in xie shashaâs mind, the shi ying squad would suffer a lot. in this post-apocalyptic world, miracles were non-existent.
