Chapter 466: Surviving Subordinates

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After finishing the man-eating primary school zombie, Lin Qiao headed toward where the scents of living human beings came from.

Some people were gathered in that area. That was probably not a base; but as long as there were people, information could be found.

In a mall building miles away from Hades Base, a group of people stayed quietly in a storage room which wasn’t easy to find. The underground floors of this building used to be a parking lot, supermarket, and storage place.

It was all dark in here, as the power was off. Therefore, this sealed storage room had no source of light.

About twenty people were squatting or lying in the room, five or six of whom were children. The youngest one was ten years old, and the relatively older ones were about twelve.

These kids used to have families in the base. However, their parents had all died in battles when Long Yubai attacked.

They were all boys. If they were girls, Long Yubai and Yang Jianhua might think that they were still useful. However, as boys, their lives were meaningless in those two’s eyes.

Therefore, these kids had all become the targets of clearance.

The rest of the people in the room were mostly young men, twenty to thirty years old. A few of them were standing in the corners of the room, slowly turning their flashlights to illuminate the room.

There was also a woman in that room who looked around thirty years old.

The woman was sitting by the door, one hand holding a pistol, with a few bullets being tossed in her other palm.

“Juan, they’ve been out for a whole day. They should be back by now!” A twenty-year-old boy who was closer to the woman couldn’t help but finally ask the question.

Duan Juan stopped tossing the bullets and turned to the kid, then nodded and responded, “I think they’ll be back soon. Be patient!”

“Maybe they have been spotted… They sneaked into the base to find food every time. This is too risky!” A slim man said worriedly.

“Where else can we possibly find food? Do you think there is any food out here for us to find? They had searched through a hundred miles around the base countless times. What food can we possibly find? Shall we eat earth? Now, we can only wait and see if those two will bring some food from the base,” said Duan Juan blandly.

The others looked at Duan Juan while thinking. One of those people again asked the question which had been asked for countless times these days.

“When exactly can we leave? Duan Juan, you kept saying that we should wait, but we’ve waited for so many days. Can’t we leave now?”

Duan Juan looked at that person and said, “We need to wait for the news that Yang Jianhua brought back.”

“Yang Jianhua has been back for so many days. Can you still not find out what news he has brought back?” That person asked.

“That’s why Li Hongsheng and the others haven’t come back yet. I think they’ll bring us some news,” said Duan Juan indeterminately.

“Juan, I’m hungry!” A little boy murmured.

Right at that moment, Duan Juan suddenly heard some noises from the outside. She ignored the little boy and quickly put the bullets into the cartridge clip, and then the clip into the gun. Then, she turned and pressed her ear on the thick door to listen to the sounds from the outside.

Her movements alerted the others, who all stared at her quietly.

Hearing the familiar footsteps sounds coming closer, Duan Juan sighed in relief and said, “They’re back!”

Even though she said so, she didn’t open the door immediately.

“Duan Juan, it’s us.” Soon, someone knocked on the door for a few times.

Only after hearing Li Hongsheng’s voice did Duan Juan ask two young men to help open the door. Once the door was open, a few men with flashlights flashed in.

As soon as they were all in, someone immediately shut the door.

“How’s it going? Any news?” Duan Juan looked at those men who just came back and asked eagerly.

Li Hongsheng was a lean man, wearing a pair of glasses. If he weren’t wearing a few holsters, he would look rather gentle.

He put his backpack on the floor and squatted.

“Yeah, we got some news. Here, have some food first! We found some sweet potatoes in our old farm,” said Li Hongsheng while emptying his bag.

The food they went to find was actually the crops planted in their old base.

The base was in chaos now. For that exact reason, many of those crops hadn’t been cleaned out.

Even though Long Yubai and Yang Jianhua had sent their people to harvest those crops, they couldn’t possibly have dug out everything. Some were still left in the farm.

One of the few men who came back along with Li Hongsheng added excitedly, “Yeah, not only sweet potatoes, we also found some cassavas, and even taros. But, these all need to be cooked.”

Hearing that, Duan Juan hurriedly asked, “How many have you found?”

“Three bagfuls. These will last us for three days,” said Li Hongsheng.

By bags, he was talking about backpacks. When he was speaking, the other two men put their stuffed bags down on the floor as well.

“Boil some for the kids then,” Duan Juan immediately responded, “They have been starving for two days.”

Once she said that, some other people found a stainless steel pot from a corner, and the ones with ice power and water power created some water and ice.

At last, two fire-powered people released fire to boil the water. As the water was boiled, people put peeled sweet potatoes into the pot.

While the others were preparing the food, Duan Juan led Li Hongsheng to the other side of the room and asked him, “What news do you have?”

Li Hongsheng pushed his glasses slightly upward and said, “I heard that Long Yubai went to Sea City, and that he’s after Deputy Chief Yuan.”

“Deputy Chief Yuan? Did he show up?” Deputy Chief asked with surprise.

Earlier on, Yuan Tianxing was missing for nearly a month. Some people thought that he had died, and some believed that he had betrayed Lin Qiao.

Duan Juan and the others who worked closely for Lin Qiao knew that Yuan Tianxing would never betray her, so they only guessed that he was killed in secret.

But now, on hearing that he had shown up, Duan Juan was surely surprised.

Li Hongsheng nodded and said, “Yeah, and I also heard that Deputy Chief Yuan is with Great Captain Lin and the others. It seems that Yang Jianhua didn’t hurt them. So this time, Long Yubai went after them by himself.”

“Really? I’m so glad that Great Captain and the others are fine. But… why is Long Yubai going after them by himself? Is that necessary?” Duan Juan was delighted to hear that Lin Feng and his people were still alive, but confused upon knowing that Long Yubai was going after them.

Li Hongsheng thought for a moment, then replied, “I think he’s not there just to hunt Great Captain and his people.”
