Chapter 118 - An Implied Warning (2/2)

After all, the underground bas.e.m.e.nt was not like the public bunkers readily available under giant malls.

The people were furious and embarra.s.sed as they looked at Bai Li, yet they were afraid to voice out against her.

From the video recordings yesterday, Bai Li did not fight during the battles; however, she was calm and coordinated during every escape or battle, as if she was used to it. Furthermore, she was Qin Feng’s girlfriend; hence, all of the people were reluctant to go against Bai Li and could only adhere to the instruction of cleaning up and applying powder.

On the other hand, Qin Feng led Liu Xue through a corridor and was moving forward.

There were more than ten people in the equipment store, and among them, five were apt.i.tude users with two F-tiers, and three G-tiers. The remaining ones were equipped with fire-fighting axes, knives, or guns.

At the moment, worms were being attracted into the store and they were engaged in a fierce and merciless battle.

A bloodthristy beetle flew over when Qin Feng appeared.

Bam!

A strong blue beam was projected from the energy gun held by Qin Feng, and it pierced through the skull of the bloodthristy beetle, blasting it away.

All of the others were surprised and delighted when they saw Qin Feng.

“It’s him!”

“Qin Feng!”

“And Leader Liu, we can now be saved!”

It was as if the crowd had encountered their saviours.

Qin Feng remained silent and raised his hand while a fire beam exploded and destroyed worms that were entering into the store within a split second.

Although it was their second visible encounter since last night, all of the people were still astonished by Qin Feng’s ability.

“Qin Feng… ah, no, Mr. Qin, Han Town has fallen, let’s break out together with all of our combined forces!” An F-tier approached Qin Feng with joy in his eyes. However, that person also came with other intentions.

Qin Feng ignored that person and looked at Liu Xue.

“How did they know my name!”

Liu Xue’s face turned pale.

It was obviously her that had spread the news.

When Qin Feng was asleep earlier, being the leader of the patrol team, Liu Xue insisted on defending Han Town that had already fallen. She comforted the crowd and contacted the Coldstorm Battalion, now that they were about to attempt a breakout, Liu Xue also wanted to bring along the others.

Or else, how would these people come across Qin Feng’s name!

However, after being scolded by Qin Feng, Liu Xue immediately felt guilty.

It was not a problem for Qin Feng to leave with her family.

However, how could he protect every one of these people?

Qin Feng knew what had happened just by looking at Liu Xue’s expression, he laughed coldly, “My capability is only for my own use, and I hope you can remember that it should never be taken as your bargaining chip to convey your righteousness. I will take the lead to battle during this breakout, and I will only mind my own business where n.o.body can request for anything from me. You are not the saviour nor am I a hero, do you understand me?”

Qin Feng’s warning served as a means to obtain the commanding authority from Liu Xue.

Afterall, these people only knew Liu Xue and respected her more than they did Qin Feng.

Qin Feng did not want any of them to have the impression that he was just a p.a.w.n that could be easily ordered around to lead any battle.

Liu Xue immediately hung her head low and replied, “I understand!”

Only then, Qin Feng acknowledged the few people that had just been rescued.

After the conversation, the once delighted group became solemn as they realized that Qin Feng was not all happy about the idea of saving them.
