Chapter 347: Chapter 346: Coming to the Door

Li Ming sat at the dining table, having been suspicious of the several people’s enthusiastic cooking, but the food had shown no issues thus far and even tasted quite good.

He took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and put it in his mouth, the sound of his upper and lower teeth separating because of the sticky gum was somewhat loud, "Mr. Lu, I won’t waste your time, those oils.."

Li Ming spread open his palm and extended it towards Lu Chen.

"Let’s go outside."

Seeing him so cooperative and understanding, Li Ming also gestured for his companions to follow him outside.

On the small path outside the entrance hall, Lu Chen very crisply took out the oil, but only half of it; two huge oil tanks were piled at his feet.

Li Ming, chewing his gum, lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, "This amount doesn’t seem right."

At this moment, around a dozen strong men had surrounded Lu Chen. Su Mo, who had just finished washing dishes, rushed out to help but was stopped at the doorway by a stern look from one of the men.

Li Qian’s gentle voice came from behind her, "Relax, he won’t get into trouble."

Su Mo nodded her head.

"The other half will be delivered in full after we safely leave tomorrow," Lu Chen said coldly to Li Ming without even glancing at the strong men around him, showing no fear of being threatened.

Li Ming shook his head and walked around him and the oil, holding his cigarette, spat out his gum and said, "Mr. Lu, I think you might be unclear about something. Right now, we’re on the epidemic prevention zone’s turf. The fact that my brother left you and your woman alive and allows you to leave smoothly is already incredibly merciful."

Lu Chen slightly lowered his gaze to focus on the cigarette between Li Ming’s fingers, a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

Li Ming only felt a chill at his fingertips, and when he looked again, the cigarette that he had just lit was frozen into an ice pop. He immediately became somewhat angry, "Are you refusing to cooperate?"

Around Lu Chen, the superpower users were mobilizing their superpowers, and Su Mo watched anxiously from the side.

The man in the center remained tall and straight, showing no sign of backing down, his cool and icy eyes meeting Li Ming’s, "Why the rush for oil tonight?"

Li Ming threw the frozen cigarette onto the ground, crushing it, and squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth, "Afraid you won’t keep your word."

"When Lu Chen makes a promise, he keeps it," the man stood there, unyielding no matter what he said.

Li Ming was at a loss with him; if a man died, the goods wouldn’t come out either. He had already been polite and accommodating enough. After thinking it over, he decided to give up on the other half of the oil. Once the number of zombies in this area decreased, they could make another trip to the Refining Factory. In the meantime, they could conserve what they had.

"Let’s go, boys," Li Ming turned around, unwilling to become further entangled, thinking they would have their own difficulties to deal with at night anyway.

Amongst those superpower users, a Space Superpower User retracted the oil and followed the departing group.

Su Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief as they left.

At this moment, Lu Chen approached and said coldly, "Don’t sleep tonight."

"They gave up just like that; are they planning to kidnap us directly?" Su Mo stepped back to let him into the room.

Li Qian adjusted his glasses, feeling a sense of guilt for the first time, "They definitely won’t go far, but my spiritual power..."

His current physical condition couldn’t sustain the use of his superpower; any use of it resulted in pain that burrowed into his marrow.

Zhao Changsheng gave him a stern look, his foxy eyes lifting in a reassuring manner as he patted his shoulder, "No worries; even if you were well, we couldn’t get out."

Li Qian: "...Tomorrow, we can only look for an opportunity to leave midway."

Su Mo smiled and closed the door, "I hope that 10% state can be a bit more powerful."

Seeing their optimism, Jiang Yulian felt greatly reassured.

Su Mo went to check on Ling Ye in the room, who had only drank a little porridge over three days, making his complexion look somewhat ugly.

She frowned, his health was getting worse, and she needed to find him food as soon as possible.

Late at night, everyone sat in the living room, all the luggage had been packed and was placed in Lu Chen’s Space, and Ling Ye from the children’s room was temporarily being held by Li Qian, with extra protection in their midst.

Without Li Qian’s spiritual power, they relied on Su Mo’s extraordinary hearing.

Guessing they wouldn’t come back for a while, Su Mo brewed some West Lake Longjing Tea, "Everyone have some, the Light as a Feather effect is quite good."

Everyone drank the tea and sat there chatting about everyday matters, waiting for their opponents to show up.

Su Mo wasn’t overly nervous, since they were bound to be kidnapped anyway, she leaned against Lu Chen’s shoulder, holding a cup and listening intently with her ears perked.

The lights in the living room were turned off by Li Qian, and Zhuoyang in Jiang Yulian’s arms also slept sweetly.

When the first hint of light in the heavens and earth started to brighten faintly, some extremely light footsteps could be heard.

Su Mo, who was dozing off, suddenly opened her eyes, she cleared the cups from the coffee table and calmly said, "They are coming."

Not long after her words, the window of the children’s room shattered upon impact, showering glass shards all over the floor, and five men climbed in from the window.

Realizing there was no one in the room, the five burly men immediately twisted the doorknob and barged into the living room.

Dim light filtered in from outside the window, and they saw five adults sitting upright in the living room. Their hands, first poised to launch a superpower attack, hesitated; their faces simultaneously turned to stupefied wonder, questioning in their minds, what was happening?

"You guys..."

They opened their mouths but couldn’t figure out what to say for a long time.

Su Mo lifted a smile, "Is Li Ming outside? If we’re setting off now, let’s hurry, we’re on a tight schedule."

"Oh... uh, okay," the several burly men were bewildered by the group’s series of moves, and subconsciously moved over to seize their arms.

More people burst into the doorway.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, it seemed that to ensure a foolproof operation, Li Yun had prepared a lot of people, including those who came to mooch off her dinner tonight.

Seven people were escorted out of the room.

Li Ming, who had been on guard outside, was somewhat excited; today was the day they would get the medicine and supplies, and how could he not be happy? Yet, when those dozen superpower users brought the people out in less than two minutes, he was also stunned.

Wasn’t this a bit too fast?

By his side, someone whispered a few words in his ear, and Li Ming’s expression grew odd, "What kind of trick are these people playing now?"

The person shook their head, "We’ve looked everywhere upstairs and downstairs, all their luggage has been packed and taken, it looks like they have been prepared for a while."

The smile on Li Ming’s face, which was full of glee, gradually faded and turned serious. With the situation at a critical juncture, even if he felt something was up, he had no choice but to send the people to the signal tower.
