Shen Feng was in his office discussing with Yu Renshu how to resettle the members of the Self-Help Association when the young girl from the communications room suddenly rushed in, saying anxiously, "President, something's wrong! Someone is robbing the building where the firearms are stored. Hurry up..."
Before she could finish, the girl saw Shen Feng and Yu Renshu sitting together discussing something. Considering there were only these two people in the office, she immediately suspected she had interrupted their private time. Vice President Chang Jianyi had not appeared for days. Could it be that the President was taking the opportunity to develop another romantic relationship?
"I've always heard that the President is a master gamer. I didn't expect that in real life, the President is also so formidable, having learned to manage multiple relationships!" the girl thought, her mind in turmoil.
Shen Feng was shocked to hear that someone dared to rob the firearms. If the guns were stolen, wouldn't their foundation be unstable? He had planned to distribute the firearms tomorrow, but unexpectedly, someone started robbing them tonight. They were truly audacious.
Shen Feng knew that he most likely couldn't withstand a shootout, so he absolutely did not want anyone else in Luzhou City to possess firearms.
Afterward, Shen Feng opened the window, leaped down, and used his abilities to let the wind support his descent. After landing steadily, he quickly used "As the Wind Follows," rushing towards the building where the firearms were stored. He wanted to know what kind of person dared to steal firearms from over twenty evolvers!
When evolvers deal with ordinary people, one evolver could handle ten. However, if the enemy's numbers were particularly large, the evolvers would also find it difficult to cope, especially if the enemy resorted to underhanded tactics. What Shen Feng worried about were his subordinates, the evolvers. If they were accidentally ambushed, it would be disastrous.
In the office, the girl stammered at Yu Renshu, who was sitting behind the desk, "I... I won't go out and say anything carelessly."
"No, you will go out and speak carelessly. The more exaggerated, the better, understand?" Yu Renshu stood up and said.
The girl nodded, indicating she understood. Although she didn't understand why she had to deliberately spread the news, since it was Yu Renshu's request, she could only obey.
Yu Renshu leaned back in her office chair and stretched. She wondered, "Chang Jianyi, if you hear about this, will you continue to trust Shen Feng? If not, then he's mine!"
After being rescued by Shen Feng, Yu Renshu had undergone a transformation. She started to appear before Shen Feng proactively, not only dressing up beautifully but also deliberately showcasing her charm, hoping that Shen Feng would make a move on her. Now, she had an idea: could she find a way to snatch Shen Feng from Chang Jianyi?
Unfortunately, Yu Renshu found that Shen Feng could be quite stubborn at times. After he fell for Chang Jianyi, he never courted any other women. He was truly a devoted man. It seemed impossible to make him like her, so Yu Renshu decided to resort to other means.
At this moment, Cao Fuli and Wang Chong were confronting each other in front of the building. Seeing that Cao Fuli was not going to yield, Wang Chong shouted, "Brothers, let's go! If we seize the firearms, we will be the rulers of Luzhou!"
Then, Wang Chong led the charge, followed by over a hundred others, brandishing steel bars as if ready to take lives at any moment.
Facing the charging crowd, Cao Fuli delivered a kick, sending Wang Chong flying, and shouted, "Kill!"
Cao Fuli's group consisted of evolvers, whose physical condition far surpassed that of ordinary people. The twenty-odd evolvers charged at the more than a hundred ordinary people. They were not afraid of the steel bars in their hands, and they brandished their blades to defend themselves. Basically, none of the hundred-plus people could successfully attack the evolvers, while an evolver could easily disembowel them with a casual strike.
Cao Fuli was one of the earliest followers of Shen Feng, having joined him from the medical school. Therefore, he was extremely proficient in combat, not to mention the recent battles against the Corpse King. The combat team had fought desperately, killing countless zombies. Now, facing the robbers, they showed no mercy and intended to kill.
Wang Chong was the first to charge because he knew that if he didn't lead the charge, the others would be too afraid to move. Moreover, they had a numerical advantage, and a single charge would be enough to defeat the opposing group.
He had this idea because Wang Chong had never witnessed the combat prowess of evolvers and didn't know how strong they were. In his opinion, evolvers were just slightly stronger humans, and their combat power couldn't possibly be that exaggerated. Therefore, Wang Chong was not afraid of the evolvers, a classic case of the ignorant being fearless.
As a result, Wang Chong, who charged first, was kicked flying. Then, Cao Fuli led his men in a charge, and none of his group sustained any injuries. The other hundred-plus people were bleeding profusely, and many were stunned by the charge. Didn't they say that charging together would lead to victory? Why had dozens of their men died, while the opposing side remained completely unharmed?
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Han Yong shouted, "Run!" and led the retreat. The rest of the group, realizing they couldn't win, also quickly retreated. Cao Fuli was surprised that his single charge had scattered the enemy and cursed them as "cowardly rats." He then led his men in pursuit to capture them. How dare they rob firearms? Letting them escape would be a mistake.
Cao Fuli was the first to reach Wang Chong, who was lying on the ground. Without a word, he used the back of his saber to break Wang Chong's legs, preventing him from escaping, and then continued the pursuit.
Wang Chong lay on the ground, shouting in pain. He wanted to escape but couldn't even stand up. His legs were broken, and any movement caused excruciating pain. At this moment, Wang Chong was filled with extreme fear. He never expected that the people guarding the building were all evolvers, and their strength was so incredible. He had been kicked flying before he could even react and couldn't get up for a long time. Then, everyone scattered, and his legs were broken again. Now, even if he wanted to run, he was completely incapable of doing so.
Wang Chong did not want to die. He no longer desired wealth or status. He only wanted to survive, so he began to crawl on the ground with his hands.
However, at that moment, a pair of leather shoes appeared before Wang Chong. He looked up and saw a young man with a sunny disposition and a faint smile on his face. Wang Chong despaired because the person who appeared before him was Shen Feng.
"Robbing, huh?" Shen Feng asked with a cold smile. "Did you ever consider what the consequences would be?"
After speaking, Shen Feng kicked Wang Chong, sending him flying a considerable distance. Wang Chong's crawling distance was now negative, as he had been kicked to the edge of the building.
Cao Fuli and the others returned, each dragging a person. Once captured, these people began to beg for mercy, all while blaming the leg-broken Wang Chong, saying, "It was this Wang Chong who misled us. He said that if we seized the firearms, we could become masters."
Unfortunately, Cao Fuli and the others did not listen. They brought these people before Shen Feng and reported, "City Lord, the ringleaders were a person named Wang Chong and another named Han Yong. Wang Chong is the one lying on the ground. We did not capture Han Yong!"
Shen Feng looked at the kneeling and begging people and shook his head helplessly. He had expected the robbers to be some heroic figures, at least gang leaders. He never imagined that these rebels would be a group of wall builders who were dissatisfied with their current treatment and decided to cause trouble.
"Take them to identify the others. Make sure to capture all those who caused trouble tonight!" Shen Feng issued his command and then prepared to dispatch more people to guard the building.
However, at that moment, a "crack" sound of shattering glass came from the rear of the building. Shen Feng's expression changed. He quickly kicked open the building's door, turned on the lights, and walked in. At this time, the door of one of the rooms where firearms were stored had already been broken open.
It turned out that after Han Yong escaped, he believed he couldn't get away. So, he boldly circled around to the back of the building, broke the glass, and entered, searching for firearms in the rooms. He knew that as long as he got his hands on the guns, the battle situation would surely be reversed.
As Shen Feng and his men rushed into the building, they immediately saw Han Yong emerging from a room, holding a rifle. Instantly, everyone began to scatter and seek cover, including Cao Fuli, who hid in a corner. He noticed Shen Feng still standing at the building's entrance and shouted, "City Lord, be careful!"
"Careful? Careful of what!" Shen Feng, however, did not dodge. He stood at the building's entrance and walked towards Han Yong.
Seeing Shen Feng approaching him, Han Yong's face contorted into a ferocious expression, and he shouted, "Die! I'm going to kill you!"
After speaking, Han Yong pulled the trigger, only to find that no bullets were fired from the gun. He was immediately confused, wondering what had happened. Why couldn't he enhance his combat power even after obtaining the gun?
Shen Feng walked as he spoke, "Idiot, do you think I would put the guns and bullets together? You haven't even loaded the bullets. Who are you trying to scare? If you want to steal my guns, prepare to die."
Cao Fuli then remembered that Shen Feng had instructed people to store the firearms and bullets separately while transporting supplies during the day. If one found a gun, they would still need to find the bullets separately. He awkwardly emerged from the corner, realizing he had been scared by an unloaded empty gun. The others also quickly came out.
Han Yong became frightened. Seeing Shen Feng's approaching footsteps, he threw the gun towards Shen Feng to buy time and then turned to run towards the broken window. He just wanted to escape, regardless of anything else.
Shen Feng quickly caught the gun. It would be too much of a loss if it were damaged. They only had three thousand rifles, and each one lost was one less. There was no immediate replenishment, so it couldn't be damaged.
Cao Fuli, on the other hand, rushed out quickly. Just as Han Yong reached the window and was about to climb over to escape, Cao Fuli struck his thigh with a saber, causing blood to spurt out instantly. Han Yong fell to the ground and begged for mercy, but Cao Fuli paid no attention and ended him with a single strike.
Shen Feng put the gun back in its original place and closed the metal box, shaking his head helplessly. "It seems that if I don't kill people, others always think I'm easy to bully. Tomorrow, gather the men and hold a meeting in the plaza."
The incident of the building being robbed this time served as a wake-up call for Shen Feng. These people, numbering just over a hundred, dared to cause trouble. Was it because they were not given enough food or safe housing? Neither! The reason they caused trouble was that they wanted more. They were greedy, believing that by obtaining guns, they could achieve a life of luxury.
Therefore, Shen Feng planned to make an example of them tomorrow. All the people who robbed tonight would die tomorrow.
Afterward, Wang Chong and the captured individuals were all imprisoned in the temporary prison converted from the school dormitories. These were all equipped with anti-theft windows, making it impossible to escape through them. Ren Jing was also imprisoned here. Shen Feng had originally intended to execute him in public, but he didn't want to give him an easy way out. Shen Feng planned to find a cruel method to deal with Ren Jing.
Those who escaped were lucky enough to flee the city. The city walls at this time only had their foundations laid, so there was no obstruction. Those who were unlucky believed they could sneak through and hid in their homes. Ultimately, those hiding at home were identified by their accomplices and the combat team, and were subsequently taken away. These were mostly single men. Only a few dozen had surviving family members. When the families saw the combat team coming to arrest people, they all pleaded for mercy, hoping the individuals would be spared.
However, the combat team paid no heed. If they spared the prisoners, the City Lord would not spare them! Subsequently, all the offenders were arrested.
