They didn’t linger; both of them knew that now wasn’t the time for a lengthy discussion . They didn’t know what the situation was like outside, and the only thing they could be grateful for was how Xiao Sa had succeeded in advancing to level six while Bai Jing was firmly in the beginning stages of level five .

After returning to the room, Xiao Sa unravelled the boundary . Bai Jing frowned, feeling that the atmosphere was somewhat wrong . There were clearly people outside, but it seemed a little too quiet .

“The barrier moved . ” Little Hong sat in Sang Min’s arms . Her eyes were bright as she pointed at the door to the room .

The silent crowd looked up . Excitement flashed across their faces at the same time upon seeing that the barrier had finally disappeared, and it felt like their hearts had jumped up into their throats . It wasn’t until they really saw Xiao Sa and Bai Jing’s figures that they seemed to realize that it wasn’t a dream .

“What happened?” Xiao Sa’s expression sank, and his eyes swept quickly around the room .

“Where are the others?” Bai Jing soon found that other than the elderly and children, only those without abilities were present .

Because of his legs, Zhou Hua had also remained in the villa and was present at this time . He heard them asking questions and told them in detail about the events that had occurred in recent days . The goal of this mission was a military factory 300 kilometers away . Other than their team, many other ability users had also joined in . The military factory had been a secret research base for weapons prior to the apocalypse, and the former official leaders of the country had sent people to recover the supplies there, but unfortunately, n.o.body had ever returned . This time, it was their turn to go . Zhou Hua’s eyes were red as he hatefully glared at his useless legs . He would rather go with his lover and brave the danger together than stay at home fretting with fear and worry .

Bai Jing’s expression was so stormy that it could almost make it rain . He’d just known that the Zhou Family wouldn’t leave things be, but he hadn’t expected them to make a move so quickly . He and Xiao Sa had only disappeared for a few days, but people were already scheming against him . He was displeased as he asked, “What about Bai Jingcheng? What was he doing?”

“Mr . Bai also helped, but there are too many people involved in this mission . Even the military became involved, and we were unable to refuse . ” Zhou Hua’s eyes were still slightly red, his face thin and wan .

Bai Jing looked at him and felt a slight pang of guilt . He had planned to treat Zhou Hua’s legs after they arrived at the Capital, but as a result, he and Xiao Sa made such a mess the next day and delayed everything for the advancement of their powers . It was the first time that Bai Jing had felt regret for his recklessness .

Xiao Sa gave him a deep look, agreeing with his unspoken realization that he’d been wrong . Bai Jing hung his head, then said, “How long ago did they leave?”

Zhou Hua said, “They only left this morning . They were originally supposed to leave five days ago, but Mr . Bai kept delaying it . ”

Bai Jing felt a little better inside . At the very least, Bai Jingcheng hadn’t been useless .

“Where is the exact location?” Xiao Sa asked quietly . He was considering the situation more deeply; regardless of whether this trip was dangerous, they still needed to go . Wasn’t it a military factory? Jing Sa City seemed to lack these things .

Bai Jing’s expression was still dark . Although he was angry, he wasn’t overly anxious . It wasn’t that he wasn’t concerned about his teammates, but that he believed in their strength . At the very least, they shouldn’t have encountered any danger up until now . He thought about it, then turned his head to ask Zhou Hua, “I’ll take you to get treatment first . After eating, Xiao Sa and I will depart . ” It was 6:20PM now, and if they pushed on tonight, they should be able to catch up with the main group soon .

When Bai Jing finished speaking, he dialled Bai Jingcheng’s communicator . The communicator beeped several times before Bai Jingcheng’s angry voice sounded out . It was easy to picture how he must be roaring at the device, “Where have you been these past few days?!”

Bai Jing raised his eyebrows and moved the communicator a little further away from his ears, “What is He Yong’s contact number?”

“You’re only asking me this?” Bai Jingcheng was burning with rage and could hardly breathe .

Bai Jing raised his eyebrows, and his voice rose slightly . He wasn’t respectful at all as he said, “What else? Over half of my people are gone . How are you going to explain that to me?”

Bai Jingcheng’s imposing manner instantly weakened . He suddenly felt that life was really hard . His wife didn’t care about him, and his son was even worse . Was he supposed to question his old man like that? Although he thought that way internally, his voice still softened unconsciously . Bai Jingcheng refused to admit that he felt some misgivings about this son of his, “There was nothing I could do . The mission this time was pa.s.sed by a vote . Not only did your team have to go, all the other factions also sent people . Relax, I’ve already sent down orders to ensure everyone’s safety . ”

Bai Jing sneered: “Safety? If it’s not natural disasters, it will be man-made problems . Do you really believe that they will be safe this time?”

Bai Jingcheng fell silent . He understood what Bai Jing was implying, but he was stuck between a rock and a hard place . He quickly changed the topic, “Who do you want treated? I’ll have people arrange it immediately . ”

Bai Jing sneered and didn’t continue to be caught up in this topic . Unless the Zhou Family was dealt with, Bai Jingcheng would always be left stirring up muddy waters . He wasn’t surprised that Bai Jingcheng had chosen to take this stance and said indifferently, “His name is Zhou Hua . He’s one of my teammates who was injured previously . Both legs were broken at the knees . Make the arrangements as quickly as possible . I’m going to depart with Xiao Sa tonight . The safety of the rest of my people will be handed over to you . Don’t let anything happen again . ”

Bai Jingcheng immediately promised, “You can rest a.s.sured that as long as I am in the base, I will take good care of your people . ”

Bai Jing’s eyes darkened . “I hope you can do what you say . Also, remember not to spread any news about Xiao Sa and I . ”
