Chapter 112 - Saber Unveiled! (1/2)

“Are they going to come up as well?” Qin Feng asked.

A bonehead teammate was more untolerable than the most formidable opponent.

It would be a pain in the ass if they did want to tag along.

“Perhaps not.” Liu Zhensan was uncertain.

Qin Feng nodded. That would be the best. He turned to the other three and admonished, “Some commoners might join us later. Do your best to protect them then.”

“Leave it to us. Anyhow, it’s our duty as aptitude users to protect the weak. With great power comes great responsibility.” Wang Chen snorted rather sarcastically. He, too, actually did not wish to have so many commoners around.

Qin Feng was even more reluctant but it could not be helped. After all, this place was the patrol unit leader of Han Town, Liu Xue’s birthplace. If such a tragedy were to befall Chengbei colony, he would have done the same for his kins.

Such was the unpredictable fate of humanity in this turbulent era. Qin Feng decided that he would do what he could to help.

“Uncle Liu, let’s collect the stuff from the storeroom next door.” Qin Feng said.

Liu Zhensan agreed immediately. The items inside that room were worth at least a few tens of millions. He would love to hoard back as many valuables as possible.

Fortunately, the three spatial runes he carried with him had enough space to fill most of the expensive beast materials. He did not take any of the guns as he knew that those would be their lifeline in the upcoming survival battle. It would be distributed out to everyone later.

In the past life, the ammunition supply was what had helped them to escape Han Town safely.

Qin Feng watched as Liu Zhensan collected the valuables. After the latter finished packing, Qin Feng walked out and commanded He Ling and Zhao Xiang to prepare sandbags and carried it to the second floor to barricade the windows and hallways. They set up the proper defense and sprayed monster repellants all over the floor to leave only a narrow path.

Once they had completed the setup, Qin Feng went back down to the underground parking lot through the secured exit.

The parking lot was in a mess. He was met by a brownish larva of ten-meter-long the moment he opened the door.

It was a plow worm!

“Fire Beam!”

Qin Feng triggered his consciousness and a dark-red laser beam was immediately unleashed. The beam sent the plow worm flying and blasted it into pieces.

Plow worms were a giant earthworm-like creature. They liked to hide underneath humid land and would normally break through the ground to attack their prey.

The danger level of a plow worm was determined based on its size. S-tier plow worms were probably as gigantic as a real dragon. One single turn might lead to a massive earthquake if such a creature really existed.

The one Qin Feng came across was a G5-tier. There was nothing to be worried about.

Of course, there would be no escape if the one that opened the door just now was a random commoner.

Qin Feng walked toward the iron door of the basement.

“Liu Xue, open the door. I am here to bring you all up.” Qin Feng contacted Liu Xue through the communicator.

Liu Xue opened the door from inside and a foul stench instantly leaked out from the room. Qin Feng furrowed his eyebrows.

That was to be expected when twenty nervous people were cramped inside a small room. Some men were even smoking in there. The vent only drew in oxygen and provided little to no circulation to the room.

“How is it out there?”

“Are the insectoids still rampaging?”

“Have you guys sorted out the defensive unit?”

Numerous questions were shot at Qin Feng before Liu Xue could say anything.

Qin Feng looked at the eager citizens that approached him tensely and took a step back. “You guys should have already been informed of the condition out there through the communicator. What different news do you expect me to bring?”

The people inside the basement were silenced and turned grim. They had, of course, learned about the latest development distributed through the communicator.
