Chapter 767: Human Face, Beast Heart

for a while and try to figure out the reason as soon as possible. I hope the association can help me understand Mr. Feng's current situation.Okay, I'll wait for your call.Liàn yī hung up the phone and...At this temporary base, Captain Song was listening to his subordinates' report. Things were different now compared to before. With Sky Eye surveillance, tracking people down was a breeze with computers able to filter them out in minutes. Now, they could only rely on manpower. Their limited resources of military and police personnel meant they had to depend on information from survivors—who provided it in exchange for food and drink.

The officer reporting said:

They had a conflict with Sun Qiang's woman at the trading market. After finishing the deal with Cui Heng, they were blocked by Sun Qiang and thirty of his men. They were ruthless, ending the fight in less than half an hour. Sun Qiang and all of his men died.

"What a clean sweep."

Captain Song sighed, then addressed the officer who had just given the report:

"You take people to wipe out Sun Qiang's lair."

Only catch, not kill

"Shoot on sight."

"Yes!"

After saluting, the officer left Song's office.

And Song, the team leader, looked at the photos of the several people. Li Qian, Zhao Jia, and Sun Weifeng were ID photos, after all, they were trapped in Qimu City on a mission, while Yuan Chongming and Riyue's photos were mostly side views, without even one frontal photo.

"This looks like a tough one."

Dong Ziqing and Sun Peng once again missed Ripples, when they arrived, there was no sign of her. They questioned the boy manning the stall, but he only shook his head, revealing nothing.

"Let her go again."

Sun Peng said with some unwillingness.

Don't worry, they'll definitely be back. I don't believe we won't catch them.

Dǒng Zǐqīng's eyes glittered with the light of determination.

Before, he still held onto a sliver of hope, trying to use emotion to keep the ripples of their connection alive. But ever since he saw the man by her side, he dismissed that thought entirely.

After all, even survival is difficult now, what's the point of love Looking at Lianyi's rosy complexion, she doesn't seem to be starving or freezing. So he can only use other methods. He has a secret about an underground food storage in his hands, and he decides to lure Lianyi and those around her out with this.

At this point, Mu Mianmian was in a rather dire situation. Although she coveted the fact that her neighbor had been frozen to death and had ransacked their entire home, three months of extreme cold meant her supplies wouldn't last long. In the end, she could only seek refuge with the building manager before her food ran out.

This man has a wife and children, but he is a hypocrite. When a man named "Strong Brother" came to the door with a gun demanding protection money, he colluded with him and exploited the residents of the building. Those who had money paid up, while those who didn't could only sell their bodies.

Now, not to mention beautiful women, even men with average looks can rely on selling their bodies to make a living.

Mu Mianmian didn't want to become a tool for others to vent their lust. She had no choice but to scheme and seduce their building manager, Heixue Tao, into becoming her lover. This allowed her to avoid the tragic fate of trading her body for food.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. Just two days ago, something terrible happened in this building. It all started when Heixue Tao forced a family who couldn't afford protection food to sell their daughter into prostitution. At the time, the girl's father was running a high fever and delirious from the heat.

The sixteen-year-old girl had only this relative left, and she herself was unable to go out to find food. With no other option, she could only trade her body for medicine. When her elderly father took the medicine and recovered, he realized his daughter had sacrificed her innocence for him. He was so distraught that he turned white overnight.

The next day, taking advantage of the darkness, when Heixuetuo came to collect protective rations, he directly drew his knife and stabbed Heixuetuo to death. He stabbed the other party dozens of times before rushing to the magistrate's house.

The headman's wife didn't know her husband was in trouble until she opened the door and saw her downstairs neighbor covered in blood, holding a bloody knife. She wanted to close the door, but it was too late.

The old father rushed in and turned the headman's house upside down. Bags of food were pulled out, and the woman's terrified cries attracted people from all over the building.

"Look, this is the headman you chose. He colludes with that Strong Brother. There's no room for food in his own home, yet he forces my daughter to sell herself just to eat! Is he an animal He has a wife and a daughter too. Doesn't he fear retribution falling on them"

The old father's desperate accusation shook everyone to their core. It turned out that the seemingly kind and polite building manager, who was always trying to mediate between them and the evil forces, was the most inhumane person of all. He helped outsiders exploit them and completely disregarded their lives.

The deceived people rushed into Lou Chang's house like crazy, not only stealing all the food and smashing his house, but also beating his wife and daughters, driving them out of Lou Dong.

The elderly father, clutching the food that belonged to his own home, took his daughter and left this building that was devouring people.

When the incident happened, Mu Mianmian was scared by those crazed people and hid in her room, not daring to show her face. Only after everyone had left did she sneak into the empty room. She searched for two bags of food from the ceiling panels of the kitchen and bathroom, taking them back to her residence. This food could sustain her for a while longer; all she needed to do was hold on until the government distributed relief supplies.

And the Strong Ge who cooperated with Heixuetao was the group that Lianyi and they wiped out. Because they were domineering and robbed the survivors of their food, they were reported by the father and daughter duo, so Song team had been eyeing them for a long time.

We've almost got our hands on their lair, ready to close in. But XiaoXiao went back and got Sunqiang out to vent her anger, which ended up with her killing herself prematurely.

Because there were thirty people all at once, Captain Song's men acted very smoothly. After dark, they packed up and left, leaving those who stayed behind in the nest either captured or killed. Only the officer who returned to report had a rather unpleasant face.

"Sithu, what's wrong Is the mission not going well"

Captain Song asked directly.

"Smooth! I just think these people deserved to die!"

"What's wrong"

They treat people as a food reserve, eating them when there's no other meat.

As Si Tu spoke, he felt like throwing up himself.

"No wonder! No wonder! They left no one alive, they must have known something!"

Song the captain only then reacted.

"What next"

Expose their crimes, carry out the death penalty!

"Yes!"

"Do they have food in their nest"

Yes, at least a ton of various food was looted by them, and what's left is still not little!

If they truly had no grain left, we could accept that they walked this path to survive. But their granaries are overflowing with food! Why would they do this”

Sithu Yi, with a gaunt face, was filled with anger and confusion.

"Sometimes, the evil of some people is beyond your comprehension."

Captain Song sighed.

Five days later, just as Ripples and their group were preparing to go back to the trading market, a car slowly drove across the ice, broadcasting along the way:

All survivors, please note that the government has captured a group of thugs who have been looting food, committing murder and arson. They will be executed by firing squad at noon tomorrow in the central square. At the same time, the first batch of relief supplies will be distributed to the survivors. Please bring your own containers!nd if they found the speedboat that Eleventh Floor opened, they would definitely intercept it. Eleventh Floor's Guo Haiyang, in order to survive, would definitely say anything. The other party coming...
