Chapter 110 - Alliance (2/2)

This man obviously did not want Qin Feng to leave.

After all, men of such power were few and far between.

Qin Feng was a fire ability user and the energy he could unleash was something which no ordinary F-tier user could match.

Hearing what the man had to say, Qin Feng stopped in his tracks.

“What are you referring to?”

“Sir, you’ll understand when you come and see for yourself!”

A suspicion arose in Qin Feng’s mind that these guys could be up to no good. But even if he was persuaded to go upstairs, was there anything these guys could do to stop him from leaving?

With that in mind, Qin Feng followed the man to the entrance of a safe passage!

On the other end of the passageway up the stairs however, was a heavy bed frame barricading against outsiders, leaving a small gap that was no more than half a meter-wide for humans to be able to barely squeeze through. Littering the stairway up to the makeshift barricade were carcasses of a variety of insectoids.

So this was how they stopped the bugs from entering the second floor!

It was such a simple defensive structure that if not for Qin Feng’s unexpected arrival, it would have collapsed in no time against these unrelenting bugs.

Squeezing past the shoddy barricade, two men entered into Qin Feng’s view on the other side. According to Bai Li’s report, there were seven people around here and one of them was fed to the bugs.

If his math were correct, that meant three casualties from the bug assault just now.

“Mr Qin, my name’s Wang Chen. We’ve had a bit of a misunderstanding back then but since everybody’s on the same boat, I hope that we can let bygones be bygones!”

Wang Chen said as his hand remained pressed onto his belly.

Qin Feng, who could achieve such magnificent feats using his consciousness alone naturally had a pretty good memory. A single glance was just what it took for him to recognise the companion of that aptitude user who had toyed with Bai Li.

Could it be that the person who Bai Li said was “fed to the bugs” was none other than this guy’s friend?

Considering Bai Li’s looks, it did not take a genius to be able to imagine what would have happened if such a girl were walking across such a disordered place, where laws and morality were as good as dead.

Still, Bai Li had her own ways to defend herself.

Qin Feng’s expression darkened as he stared at Wang Chen coldly in the eyes.

The man felt a wave of fear creeping up his spine as his smile became more and more forced.

Unbeknownst to both of them was the fact that the entire incident was entirely a result of Bai Li’s doing.

After Bai Li sent the man flying out the window, the fresh meal attracted a large group of hungry insectoids over for the feast. This happened when the men were only halfway through building their defensive perimeter. Naturally, they would open fire to kill off those bugs to prevent a potential breach but unfortunately, that only attracted an even larger group of creepy-crawlies to their position.

It was only after witnessing firsthand just what Qin Feng was capable of, that ideas for revenge were quickly abandoned.

What was more, the remaining two of the group had no grievances with Qin Feng and were in fact, elated to meet Qin Feng in person.

“Nice to meet you, Mr Qin! My name’s He Ling, this man over here’s Zhao Xiang!”

“Oh, just call me Qin Feng!”

“No no no no, we’ll stick to Mr Qin! We are now nothing but a small team of defeated soldiers with no leader to guide us! I sincerely hope that Mr Qin can help us out. As long as we can survive through this, I swear I will repay the debt to you no matter what!”

These insectoids were too overwhelming. It did not matter that they were F-tier aptitude users. They could not hold their ground even when teamed up against an F-tier blade mantis general. The unexpected arrival of Qin Feng however, greatly boosted their morale again after a brief moment of staring death right in the eyes.

A nerve popped on Qin Feng’s forehead.

He was no hero who had come to save the day.

Still, his mind returned to the supposed heroine that was Liu Xue. On second thought, the addition of a few more aptitude users might not completely be bad news, considering the fact that there were now more than twenty people to protect in the underground shelter.

“Hmm, alright!”

“You are okay with that, Mr Qin?” He Ling found it difficult to believe Qin Feng’s answer.

“We really appreciate it, Mr Qin!” Zhao Xiang hurriedly thanked their saviour.

“Thank you!” the superficial smile Wang Chen wore on his face was now exchanged with one that reflected his genuine emotion.

“Oh right, before I forget, what’s the reason that you led me up here?” Qin Feng reminded Wang Chen.

Wang Chen hurriedly replied, “Mr Qin, I have not fooled you! Come over here and take a look!”

Wang Chen led Qin Feng to a nearby window.
