Ji Zan moved like lightning, effortlessly dodging all the attacks. Then, he lunged forward and delivered a powerful punch to Wang Tianba’s face.
Wang Tianba was sent staggering backward, but Ji Zan had no intention of letting him off easily. He continued to throw punches, landing them on Wang Tianba repeatedly. Wang Tianba cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground.
Ji Zan used his foot to hook Wang Tianba’s gun, and with two crisp clicks, he expertly ejected the bullets from the chamber, placing the gun against Wang Tianba’s head in the next moment. “I said it before, all I wanted was some food and water, and I wouldn’t make things difficult. Since you disagree, I don’t mind taking your lives! Considering the amount of blood on your hands up to today…”
Wang Tianba was drenched in cold sweat, raising his hands high and saying, “Mr. Ji, I was wrong. Take whatever you want from the tunnels. It’s all yours, I won’t say a word!”
Ji Zan smirked, “You’re right, you won’t say a word.”
With those words, the gun went off, and Wang Tianba ceased to breathe.
Seeing Ji Zan’s ruthless determination, the others were frozen in fear. They never expected that even with their abilities, they couldn’t stand a chance against this man. Besides, they weren’t exactly saints themselves, and they knew how to go with the flow. They immediately dropped to their knees before Ji Zan.
“Don’t kill us, we were forced by Wang Tianba. He had a gun, and even with our abilities, we couldn’t outmatch a gun. We had no choice but to follow him. To be honest, we’ve been unhappy with him for a long time,” one of them pleaded.
Ji Zan wasn’t a bloodthirsty person. He glanced at them and said, “I’ll stay here for a few days. When I leave, the food and water here will still be yours. But if I catch you misusing your abilities for wrongdoing, don’t blame me.” With that, he turned and walked out of the tunnel.
Fu Shinan and the others were waiting in the storage room for Ji Zan. As time passed, they grew increasingly anxious.
Nana had been pretending to play with Xiao Chang’an but her voice was becoming weaker. She had gone without food for too long.
Fu Gui was lying on the ground with half-closed eyes, looking wilted.
Fu Shinan’s stomach was growling loudly, but she fought to hide her hunger from the children. She swallowed hard, hoping to deceive her stomach and endure a little longer.
Just when she thought she might faint from hunger, she heard steady footsteps approaching from outside the door. She stood up and looked at Ji Zan. “How did it go?” she asked. But when she saw Ji Zan empty-handed and sitting weakly on the ground, she feared he might have succumbed to starvation after surviving the tornado.
“Are you very hungry?” Ji Zan asked.
In an attempt to preserve her dignity, Fu Shinan forced a faint smile and replied, “1 can manage for now.”
Ji Zan smiled, his voice carrying a hint of indulgence. “No need to pretend! I found some food. Call the dog and gather the kids, let’s go.”
Xiao Chang’an saw Ji Zan and rushed over with his little legs. “Uncle, did you find food? I’m so hungry.”
“Uncle found it! Let’s go now,” Ji Zan said, picking up Xiao Chang’an.
Fu Shinan quickly took Nana’s hand and gestured for Fu Gui to follow. Suppressing her joy, she said, “You’re amazing. Let’s hurry.”
Fu Gui let out a sob and stood up unsteadily. Before leaving, he went to the graves of the male and female masters, patting the soil as if bidding them farewell. Perhaps it knew that this goodbye might be forever.
Fu Shinan stood beside Fu Gui, waiting for him. Fu Gui seemed to understand and, after completing this farewell, with moist eyes, glanced back one last time before running towards her.
The group soon arrived at Wang Tianba’s tunnel, with Ji Zan carrying the hunting rifle leading the way.
Inside, the remaining people stood to the sides, respectfully welcoming them, fearing Ji Zan might shoot them at any moment.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Fu Gui saw one tall, skinny man, he lunged and bit the man’s leg.
The man screamed in pain, his eyes fixed on Ji Zan, too afraid to use his hand to fend off the dog. After all, Ji Zan had brought the dog, and he didn’t want to provoke Ji Zan.
Ji Zan’s expression turned somewhat tense, but to conceal it, he didn’t look back and hurriedly entered the tunnel..
