After killing the Corpse King, Shen Feng originally planned to return directly to the base. However, considering his physical condition and the possibility of encountering mutated zombies on the way, he decided to find a place to rest in a nearby street. He would wait until his stamina recovered before returning to the base. After all, the crisis at the base had been resolved. Without the Corpse King's control, these zombies had no desire to attack the base.
However, just as Shen Feng was preparing to find a resting spot, he saw a group of people in the distance grabbing Yu Renshu and seemingly beating her.
Upon seeing this, Shen Feng immediately rushed over. He didn't expect the captors to be Ren Jing, who had caused the death of half of the combat team. Ren Jing had been hiding nearby and now, with audacious boldness, kidnapped the doctor. This was something Shen Feng hadn't anticipated.
Shen Feng intended to rescue Yu Renshu, but Ren Jing threatened Shen Feng with Yu Renshu's safety. Shen Feng felt helpless in this situation. He wanted to successfully rescue Yu Renshu without her getting hurt, but this was clearly impossible.
Later, when zombies appeared, Ren Jing began to retreat. Shen Feng did not pursue. He quickly used his abilities to get into a nearby building, hiding in the dark and carefully observing Ren Jing and his group as they fled. If he had appeared head-on, Ren Jing and his men would have definitely been alerted. It would be better to act from the shadows, which would also provide an opportunity to rescue Yu Renshu.
While Shen Feng was hiding, Ren Jing also noticed something was wrong. Why hadn't Shen Feng pursued him?
Previously, Ren Jing didn't want Shen Feng to chase him because if Shen Feng kept up the pursuit, he would have to constantly be wary of Shen Feng's attacks. Ren Jing's speed and strength were inferior to Shen Feng's, and he would have no chance of winning in a direct confrontation. However, now that Shen Feng hadn't shown himself, Ren Jing became even more fearful. He knew that Shen Feng was not someone to be trifled with, so at this moment, he wouldn't give up. This meant Shen Feng was hiding in the shadows.
Currently, Ren Jing was being pursued by zombies and had no time to search for Shen Feng's location. He could only lead his men into a restaurant, close the door to block the pursuing zombies, and quickly run upstairs. They finally managed to escape the zombie pursuit, but everyone began to feel fear. Shen Feng was nowhere to be seen, yet he seemed to be everywhere.
"Boss, should we think of a way to force Shen Feng out?" Su Mian hurried to ask.
Ren Jing nodded, looked at Yu Renshu beside him, and sneered, saying, "It's fine. Forcing Shen Feng out is certainly not a problem. The question is, how will we leave afterward?"
Su Mian understood his boss's intentions and quickly said, "Use Yu Renshu? That's no problem. We can ask Shen Feng to provide us with a car, and then we can drive away. Isn't that enough?"
Ren Jing thought about it. It seemed the only way was to leave with the help of a car. Besides, Shen Feng had just gone through a battle and should be extremely tired.
At the same time, Shen Feng, who was hiding in the dark and observing, began to ponder how to rescue Yu Renshu. Shen Feng did not want to let Ren Jing's group go. These traitors were beyond redemption and did not deserve forgiveness. The only kindness they deserved was a swift death!
However, rescuing someone was not that simple. After all, Ren Jing knew that if they gave up their hostage, they would be doomed.
Just then, Shen Feng heard footsteps behind him and quickly turned around, shouting, "Who's there?"
"It's me, it's me! Chairman, it's me!" Guo Pinming immediately walked into the room where Shen Feng was. His left hand was hanging limply on his shoulder, and he dared not exert any force. It was likely fractured, and his complexion was also quite grim. It was already difficult enough to survive the zombie horde. Now that one arm was broken, it was actually a good thing.
Seeing Guo Pinming appear, Shen Feng finally had a plan. Since Guo Pinming was still alive, he could continue to help. Shen Feng quickly said, "I have a mission for you now. The doctor has been captured. You must go and save her. I will attract attention from the front, and you will appear from behind and find a way to save the doctor. You only need to buy me one minute, no, just half a minute. I'll come to save you immediately!"
Guo Pinming grinned wryly. He hadn't expected to be sent back into battle with his left arm broken, but there was no other way at the moment. So, he replied, "Alright, I'll try my best to save the doctor. It's just that my left arm is broken now, and my combat effectiveness might be affected."
"It's fine. As long as you buy time, I will kill those people!" Shen Feng said coldly.
Afterward, Shen Feng told Guo Pinming the specific location, which was in a restaurant not far away. Ren Jing was certainly unaware of Guo Pinming's existence. Therefore, Guo Pinming only needed to circle around from the side to form a pincer attack with Shen Feng. Shen Feng would attract Ren Jing's attention from the front, while Guo Pinming would try his best to rescue Yu Renshu. Then, Shen Feng could quickly rush forward to deal with the enemies.
After hearing his specific mission, Guo Pinming quickly left. As a retired soldier, he maintained his original habits. As long as he accepted a mission, he would strive to complete it, no matter how difficult it was.
At this moment, a change occurred at the restaurant. Ren Jing, holding Yu Renshu captive, appeared at the window, with a knife at her neck, and shouted to the surrounding buildings, "Shen Feng, I know you're nearby. Come out immediately. We can negotiate. If you don't come out, I'll kill her!"
Shen Feng knew that Ren Jing wouldn't dare to act, but seeing Ren Jing's arrogance made him grind his teeth in anger. Back when Ren Jing was the leader of the combat team, he was timid and did whatever he was told without daring to object. Now, he dared to threaten Shen Feng, merely relying on having a hostage. It could only be described by a line from "Dream of the Red Chamber": "The son is a wolf from Zhongshan; once in power, he becomes rampant!"
At this moment, Shen Feng wished he had a gun. If he had a gun, he would have shot Ren Jing from afar, and then see if he would still dare to be so arrogant!
Seeing that Shen Feng still hadn't appeared, Ren Jing sneered and said to the people beside him, "Strip off Yu Renshu's clothes. Let's see if Shen Feng can stand it and not come out. Speaking of which, I haven't had a taste in days!"
Ever since Ren Jing learned that Zhu Yan was a promiscuous woman, he had lost interest in her and completely ignored her. He hadn't brought Zhu Yan with him when he went out to kidnap Yu Renshu today. Zhu Yan, out of fear of the zombies, had been hiding in a building, watching helplessly as others went out on missions.
Su Mian asked cautiously, "Boss, what if Shen Feng is really not nearby?"
Hearing this question, Ren Jing said proudly, "If he's not here, even better. It'll be a chance for me to have some fun. Don't worry, even though this woman is fair-skinned and beautiful, I won't hog her. After I eat the meat, you all can have some soup!"
Upon hearing Ren Jing's words, his subordinates became excited. They had been pent up for days. Now that they had finally captured a woman, how could they let her go easily? Moreover, the situation was already dangerous, so it was better to enjoy themselves rather than be killed in despair.
Yu Renshu began to scold in terror, "How dare you? If you dare to do this, I will never forgive you!"
"Never forgive us? I'd like to know how you'll never forgive us!" Ren Jing said arrogantly. He first tore off Yu Renshu's jacket, and the others also started to strip her clothes with their hands. Yu Renshu screamed continuously but was powerless to stop their actions.
Finally, Yu Renshu's upper clothes were all removed and thrown out the window, falling onto the street.
Yu Renshu shouted out the window, "Shen Feng, kill these beasts! Don't worry about me. Even if I die, don't let these people humiliate me. I beg you, kill them and avenge me!"
Ren Jing smiled triumphantly and said, "You're still counting on Shen Feng to save you at this moment! Let me tell you, you're doomed today. Even if Shen Feng appears here, I'll still force myself on you."
"Is that so? I'd like to see if you still dare to touch her!" Shen Feng's voice came from outside the window. Everyone quickly looked out the window.
Shen Feng stood on top of the streetlight, holding his sword in both hands. This position allowed him to see the scene on the third floor clearly. Everyone was certain that Shen Feng hadn't been on the streetlight outside just now; he had appeared in an instant. His eyes were now red, staring at the people inside the restaurant.
Shen Feng was sure that the people inside were scum. He just wanted to finish them off, but he needed to wait for Guo Pinming's appearance. Only after Guo Pinming appeared from behind and rescued Yu Renshu would Shen Feng rush out to deal with them. Otherwise, Yu Renshu could not be protected.
Seeing Shen Feng appear, Yu Renshu, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Shen Feng, kill them for me. Don't worry about my safety. As long as I can see these people die, I'll be satisfied. I don't want to be humiliated like this. I don't want to be so wronged!"
Seeing Shen Feng appear, Ren Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Shen Feng was in front, there was a way to resolve it. It was much better than him hiding in the shadows and launching sneak attacks. Seeing Shen Feng appear, the surging desires of the others were instantly suppressed. They all knew that if they dared to act recklessly, Shen Feng might truly make a move.
"Prepare two cars and a week's worth of food for us, and we'll leave immediately. If you don't obey me, I'll kill Yu Renshu, and you'll get nothing!" Ren Jing was still very arrogant. Now that he held a hostage, his words were much bolder.
Shen Feng looked at Yu Renshu, whose upper body was bare. Her face was filled with shame and anger. If she hadn't been powerless at the moment, she would have committed suicide. Seeing this scene made Shen Feng feel even worse. The doctor, who was usually so cheerful, had been tormented like this. This was the work of those scum!
However, Shen Feng still needed to stall for time, so he continued to ask, "How will you give me the hostage?"
"Give you the hostage? That depends on my mood. After we drive away, I'll push her out of the car!" Ren Jing replied without hesitation.
Shen Feng continued, "If releasing the hostage is done this way, then forget it. Who can guarantee that you won't kill her on the way? How about this: I'll give you the cars, and you hand the doctor over to me at the same time!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Ren Jing said. "If we do that, we can't escape your grasp. When handing over the hostage, you must maintain a distance from us, otherwise, our safety cannot be guaranteed!"
Ren Jing and over a dozen others were standing on the third floor of the restaurant. They were all standing by the window, looking outside, and paid no attention to what was behind them. At this moment, Guo Pinming finally appeared. He had taken a long detour and finally infiltrated the restaurant. He had now reached the third floor and saw these more than ten people threatening Shen Feng.
Shen Feng also saw Guo Pinming appear behind these scums. So, Shen Feng raised his long sword in his right hand and said coldly, "I've changed my mind. I don't want to make a deal with you anymore. You've angered me, so I'm going to kill you now!"
Ren Jing never dreamed that Shen Feng would no longer intend to make a deal. He immediately panicked. If Shen Feng were to charge forward recklessly, wouldn't that mean he was going to die? No, he was only in his early twenties, in the prime of his youth, how could he die so easily!
So, Ren Jing immediately began to threaten, saying, "Don't do anything rash. If you dare to come over, I will kill people!"
