Chapter 126 - Gathering the Orphans (1/2)

“h.e.l.lo, Mayor s.h.i.+!”

Qin Feng stretched his hand out, the steady expression on his face stunned s.h.i.+ Tianhai for a while, but he shook hands with Qin Feng out of habit.

“h.e.l.lo, and you are…”

“Mayor, this is Mr. Qin Feng who brought us out. He was the one that helped us out a lot, and even rescued the children from the orphanage!” Liu Xie said enthusiastically.

The corner of s.h.i.+ Tianhai’s lips twitched slightly, and a bit of impatience flashed in his eyes. He was already in deep water, and Qin Feng had to go save a group of inconveniences. How was he supposed to deal with all of this?

These rescued children, would they not just add on to the mountain of problems they already have?

How could Qin Feng have not noticed Mayor s.h.i.+ Tianhai’s expression? His face hardened, and he decided to no longer be polite.

“Mayor s.h.i.+, I think Han Town is in a dire situation. I just happen to know a colony that can take these children in. Han Town is occupied by the enemy and until it can be reclaimed, I’m sure I can find a safe place for the orphans. So leave it to me!”

s.h.i.+ Tianhai was overjoyed when he heard this.

“Okay, since this is the case, I’ll hand this to Mr. Qin. A truly virtuous move from you, Mr. Qin!”

“It’s as I should!”

Qin Feng did not want to be courteous with the other party, so he excused himself for needing to deal with the orphans and left.

Jiang Chi felt a sense of wariness in his heart, especially when he noticed the expression on Liu Xue’s face when she was complimenting Qin Feng and showing her admiration.

“Liu Xue, who is this Qin Feng guy? And what about the other colony?” Jiang Chi asked.

Liu Xue smiled bitterly. “Even I don’t know that, what I do know is that he’s very powerful. He took down a steel-limb broodmother all by himself. His strength is incredible. Oh Mayor, Jiang Chi, I also intend on leaving with Mr. Qin!”

“What?!”

The two shouted in unison, in utter disbelief that Liu Xue would actually say that.

Regardless of how Liu Xue proceeded to explain to the two of them, Qin Feng, who had returned back to the crowd, had gotten even more frustrated.

There were two thousand people that had escaped from the colony. After arriving in a safe place, it had turned into a mess. Many people did not know what to do in the future, after escaping, they did not eat nor drink but instead could not help but start worrying.

“The Coldstorm Battalion will handle it!”

“Wait for them to solve it? Dream on! They didn’t try to help out before!”

“Onwards to Lixian Colony! I happen to have relatives there!”

“So long as there’s money in my communicator, anywhere is okay!”

“Are we really leaving? Han Town’s finished just like that? How am I supposed to live on?”

For the poor, this was a disaster. For the apt.i.tude users, it was merely a new beginning!

At this time, a group of apt.i.tude users wanted to leave, but it was the question of how they would do it.

After all, they had successfully escaped but there were only two trucks available, which were a rare commodity now. Very soon, a quarrel ensued.

“There’s no place for the orphans to go, why are you asking us to get off the trucks?” Lian Ying asked angrily.

“Can’t I use it to go to another colony? Why are you being such a nuisance? Back off or I’ll kill you!”

“No! The bus is not for you!” Liao Ying was obviously angry too.

It was at this time that Qin Feng returned. “What’s going on?” Qin Feng asked calmly. His aura was unsuppressed, anyone would know that he was seething with rage.
