Chapter 385: 217 Delivery to the Door (Third Update)_2

After several rounds of conversation, Chen Qiao’s group was tight-lipped, revealing no crucial information except for some seemingly true but misleading statements intended to confuse others. Instead, it was the two naive girls who thought they were dealing with fools; they were the ones who inadvertently spilled quite a bit of information.

They just had to compliment at the right moment, and the younger girl was so flattered by their praise that she began chattering incessantly; had the older girl not been vigilant and quickly intervened to stop her unguarded blabbering, Chen Qiao and his group would have learned even more.

The three vehicles were quite close, and after Chen Qiao extracted the desired information from the two girls, he immediately used a Spirit Stone to pass the message to Fang Yuxin.

Just as Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye had guessed, there was a small settlement nearby, actually just a small village. Most of the village’s strong workforce had gone out of the province to work and had made quite a lot of money. On their return, they began building beautiful small villas in their hometown.

When the disaster struck, the small village was fortunate enough to escape the meteor showers unscathed. Later, although some people turned into zombies, they were mostly the elderly and the infirm, making them easy to deal with.

Afterward, people fleeing to the area saw the favorable conditions and decided to stay, building high walls with bricks to turn it into a miniature Safe Zone. Due to the deep pit on the highway, more people sought refuge in the village, and the population of the Safe Zone gradually increased.

The village also boasted a powerful superpower user, a man called ’Brother Feng,’ who effectively controlled the entire village. This man was formidable, and no one in the village could match him.

All this information was vital, but that was as detailed as it got. The key factor was the older girl’s vigilance; without her, Chen Qiao’s group could have found out much more from the naïve younger girl.

When Chen Qiao relayed the information to Fang Yuxin, there was a hint of regret in his tone, but Fang Yuxin was Calming, "Since the older girl is so vigilant, don’t probe any further to avoid raising her suspicions. If you must ask, inquire about something trivial."

Chen Qiao respectfully agreed, but despite saying so, it was unlikely they would be able to get anything more from the two girls.

At this point, they had returned to the location of the roadblock. The people from the opposing side saw them from afar and exchanged a smug look before eagerly removing the barricade.

All three vehicles stopped, and the two girls rolled down their windows upon boarding the car. As soon as the cars halted, they leaned out to wave at the people who had stopped them, calling out with enthusiasm, "Brother Zhao! Are you all here?"

Brother Zhao pretended to be surprised and asked benignly, "How come you’re back in a car?" He then feigned realization, furrowing his brow in anger, "Did you go to that deep pit again? Didn’t I tell you that place is dangerous? I told you not to go there, but you just had to, didn’t you?"

The two girls were good at playing their part. The younger one cheekily stuck out her tongue and said, "Aren’t we just worried about strangers running into danger there? That’s why we went to check. Besides, with Brother Zhao and the others here, what danger could we possibly be in? It’s just a deep pit. As long as we don’t get too close, we’re fine."

Brother Zhao looked helplessly at them, first glaring for a while before resignedly shaking his head and saying, "Alright, alright, I can’t do anything about you two! You were lucky this time, meeting good folks. But what if next time you run into bad people?"

The older girl spoke gently, "Brother Zhao, please stop scolding Du Juan; she knows she was wrong. We actually went to forage for wild vegetables. We gathered quite a lot there last time, and they were delicious. Who knew this time when we got there, the wild vegetables were already gone." She sighed wistfully, her drooping eyes conveying a touch of pitiable charm that elicited greedy stares from Brother Zhao and his men.

Brother Zhao quickly coughed to remind his men to hold back and not give themselves away. He then asked, "How did you end up with them?" Turning a wary gaze towards Chen Qiao and the others also leaning out with heads turned, he looked like someone concerned about his companions being taken advantage of.

However, the moment of greed in their eyes had been clearly seen by the people in the two small teams, and no matter how well they acted, they couldn’t earn their trust.

The girl cooperated by saying, "We met them near the deep pit. They didn’t know which road to take, so they asked for directions. Du Juan and I can’t draw a map, so we thought to invite them back to find someone to help draw it out."

Brother Zhao nodded to show understanding and then warned, "If that’s the case, feel free to visit. Our dwelling place is nearby, not far away, and there are people patrolling in the vicinity. Follow this road, and in no time, you’ll get there. Regarding these two young ladies, could you please ensure they are safe? As long as you safely deliver them to their dwellings, someone will surely help you!"

This was a warning for them to behave, especially towards the two girls.

Bai Ye rolled down the car window, peeked his head out, and politely said, "Thank you. We’ll certainly make sure they get home safely."

Brother Zhao chuckled again with simple charm, uttering a few more courteous words to send them on their way. As soon as the vehicles departed, one of the men licked his lips and said smugly, "Those two girls really know how to act. I’d love to see how wanton they are in bed."

At that remark, the others burst into laughter, and even Brother Zhao narrowed his eyes dangerously, deciding to find an opportunity to taste those two girls once he got back.(To be continued.
