Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 113

Chapter 113

To be honest, Feng Wancheng’s so-called allegiance wasn’t a particularly important matter to Song Xun and her group.

They had been enemies, and although she had a certain admiration for him, it was just a little, far from the point of needing him.

Later, Feng Wancheng had told the truth. He had once attacked the Shi family and, although he had crippled them, he had also been seriously injured. In the end, it was the Chen family who had saved him and his Omega.

Although he knew the Chen family had saved him with a purpose.

And it was because they valued his strength. But to be honest, it would be abnormal if there were no purpose. Feng Wancheng was still grateful to the Chen family.

So grateful that he had served as a retainer for the Chen family for many years, just to repay that life-saving favor.

But about half a month before the apocalypse, his Omega had become pregnant. At that time, the apocalypse had not yet arrived, and no one knew what would happen in the future. Even if the Chen family had sensed something, they wouldn’t have told him.

Feng Wancheng was just overjoyed at his Omega’s pregnancy and the coming of their child. After so many years with the Chen family, and having done so many things against his will, he had long since grown tired of it.

Having repaid that life-saving favor, and with a child on the way, he had planned to retire to the city and live a simple married life.

To raise his child, watch him start a family, and have children of his own—that was his greatest wish.

Unfortunately, the Chen family would not let him go. How could they let go of such a useful and obedient tool?

He had been forced to stay.

His pregnant Omega had also been imprisoned under the guise of prenatal care, until the apocalypse came, and until now.

To say that Feng Wancheng was not a fool, even if he hadn’t understood the Chen family’s intentions at the time, he should have understood by now. But he had no way of breaking away from the Chen family with a wife and child.

After this mission, Chen Cheng had promised he could let them go. Although Feng Wancheng also knew that he was not a good person, and his promise was not necessarily valid, even if it was just a slim chance, he would definitely seize it.

He had no other choice.

After all, he alone could not fight the Chen family, nor could he take his family away.

And so, today’s events had occurred.

“…As long as you can help me take them away, from now on, I will pledge my loyalty to you, forever, and never betray you.”

Having eaten and regained some strength, even though he was trembling from the cold, he did his best to look up at Song Xun and Song Ye.

Among the few people in front of him, he couldn’t tell which of these two, who looked like leaders, was the boss. But it didn’t matter. It was all the same.

Alright, Song Xun wasn’t interested in this, but what interested her more was…

“Do you know where the Chen family’s base is?”

“Yes.”

“And you also know where your family is being held?”

“Yes.”

Song Xun leaned forward slightly and asked the most crucial and interesting question. “Then do you know where the Chen family’s hoarded supplies are kept?”

She was so enthusiastic that not only the others present, but even Feng Wancheng’s half-frozen, muddled brain quickly understood what she meant.

But he didn’t waste any words and nodded. “Of course.”

He had been monitored for so many years, but he was not an idiot. Although the place where the Chen family hid their supplies was very secret, he still had some idea.

“Alright, then let’s do it.”

Song Xun clapped her hands and made the decision.

Everyone turned to look at her, their eyes questioning. Alright, they were all quite enthusiastic.

Raiding the Chen family, finding supplies, wow, this sounds so interesting. Two words: exciting.

Song Xun could not care less about the other supplies. She had plenty of food. But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t take what was free. And besides, what she lacked most now were weapons, oil, crystal cores, and spirit stones. The more, the better.

The Chen family was a wealthy one, the kind that could build the largest private base in her past life. Now, just thinking about their supplies made her eyes gleam with golden light.

“I think we can go.”

He Qing even agreed, a rare occurrence. As long as it caused trouble for the Chen family, she was willing.

You could say that people of a feather flock together. Their thought processes were basically on the same frequency.

And so the matter was settled.

The departure time was set for tomorrow morning. But this time was different from the past. In the past, when they went out, this one would want to go, and that one would want to go, and there would always be arguments. But this time, other than the cubs excitedly raising their little paws and shouting that they also wanted to go, the adults didn’t say a word.

The cubs were still young; they didn’t understand. It didn’t matter who went. And those who stayed behind were also the same. Through the transformation of the White Light Stone space, they could switch people at any time, more people, fewer people, it was all possible.

So on the surface, it didn’t matter who went or who didn’t.

Although with Feng Wancheng there, they couldn’t openly expose the space, but, well, they just had to hide it from him.

And the method to hide it from him was also very simple. If it didn’t work, just knock him out. Simple, convenient, and fast.

Feng Wancheng was awake, but Song Xun and the others had no intention of bringing him into the space. At night, they gave him something warm to eat and then left him at the foot of the small hill again.

He had nothing to say. He knew he hadn’t yet gained their trust, which was normal. To be given something to eat, something warm, something to keep him alive, was already very good.

He was actually a person who was easily satisfied.

The small hill was right behind the mutated tree forest. It was called a small hill, but it was actually quite high, about four meters or so. The raised mountain extended to a higher mountain range.

There were also many scattered rocks around, who knows if they were from the base’s attack on the mutated plant forest or if they had formed naturally. In any case, they were all frozen.

It had become a high and low stone forest.

The dogs and the cubs liked to play here when they were free. This place was very close to the mutated tree forest, just a matter of front and back.

They were in the mutated tree forest, researching how to build a house, and they could also see this side. If there was any danger, they could get there at the first opportunity. So Song Xun was very at ease with the cubs playing here.

Although the space was good, with four seasons like spring, and very warm, the only bad thing was that there was no day or night. It was fine for a short time, but living there for a long time was not.

Before the eternal day came, they would first experience the apocalypse in the space.

The cubs also wanted to come out and play, so she let them. Even if they caught a cold, got sick, or felt uncomfortable, that was a hardship they should have.

After delivering food to Feng Wancheng, Chang Wan and Chang Fei started to head back. Song Xun was just grabbing the cubs, who had gone crazy playing. She really didn’t know why all little cubs loved to play so much, not even afraid of their noses turning blue and swollen from the cold.

It was getting dark, time to go back for dinner.

To be honest, it wasn’t Song Xun’s first time near this place. In the past, she hadn’t felt anything. But this time, as she got closer, she really felt a difference. She could clearly feel a light touch.

How to describe it?

Like a butterfly flapping its wings. You can’t see it, but you can faintly feel that small, weak gust of wind blooming in front of you.

It was really small and weak, so weak that it almost made her think it was her imagination. But then she realized it wasn’t.

Because the little ball of light had also felt it. “Song Xun, this place seems a little different.”

“You felt it too?”

“Yes.”

The little ball of light didn’t know what was going on. “I didn’t feel anything last time, but this time I can feel a very strong secondary wave of spiritual energy coming from inside this mountain. It’s very strange.”

“It’s not clear, but it’s definitely there.”

The little ball of light was eager to try. “Song Xun, can you go in and take a look?”

Hearing this, Song Xun was speechless. “How do you want me to get in? Break through this mountain and see?”

“That’s not impossible,” the little ball of light agreed.

But she didn’t. “If you want me to become a cripple, just say it.”

Break through this mountain? Does she not want her life? Her ability is not that strong yet.

“And are you sure it’s inside the mountain and not under it?”

“No, no, it’s in the mountain.”

The little ball of light gestured in her mind. “Just this one mountain, it’s so long…”

Song Xun was speechless at its gesturing. “You might as well just say all of it.”

But after pondering for a long time, she stroked the several-dozen-meter-high mountain and also began to consider the feasibility of breaking through it.

“Big Sis, let’s go. What are you standing there for?”

“Is there something in this mountain?”

Chang Fei and Chang Wan saw that she was lost in thought, as if she had discovered something, and also became interested.

They came over and started to examine the mountain. It didn’t seem to be anything unusual. It was very cold, and one touch could make you shiver.

The temperature at night was indeed lower than during the day.

Chang Fei was not very resistant to the cold. After so long in the extreme cold, he hadn’t fully adapted. Even with thick clothes, a hat, and a scarf, he couldn’t help but shiver and quickly retracted his hand.

But Chang Wan, next to him, was knocking on it, and as she knocked, she looked at Song Xun. “Big Sis, what did you find? Is there something under here?”

“Who knows.”

She was also confused herself, but she didn’t hide it. “Little Light said it suddenly sensed a very strong secondary wave of spiritual energy here. I actually have this feeling too.”

“But breaking through the mountain, how can that be reliable?”

Chang Fei also found it unbelievable. “This is a mountain.”

Even if it was small, it was still a mountain.

“Big Sis, are you sure it’s the mountain and not under it?”

Song Xun shrugged. “But it’s the same either way, right?”

Chang Fei was speechless. “That’s also true.”

Whether it was the mountain or under it, it was still a problem with the mountain, which was very difficult.

Seeing that the three adults, who had been calling to go back for dinner, were now not moving, the cubs and the dogs all gathered around, also reaching out to touch the mountain and play.

Song Xun didn’t mind them.

Chang Wan had always been very imaginative. “Big Sis, bro, do you think there’s a possibility that this mountain is hollow, and there’s a cave inside, and in the cave, there’s a treasure, and the spirit stones Little Light mentioned before are in these treasures?”

Chang Fei looked over with a thoughtful expression. “That idea of yours…”

Chang Wan was startled by his look. “I’m just saying. You can just listen.”

She changed her tune very quickly. There was no other way. She loved to be imaginative, and her brother loved to criticize her. Now that Wang Qingyao wasn’t here, there was no one to support her.

She didn’t want to be scolded.

But this time, he actually didn’t want to scold her. “…It’s actually pretty good. We can give it a try.”

Chang Wan was shocked. “Bro, you actually praised me? You don’t have a fever, do you?”

Chang Fei: “…”

If it weren’t for the cold, and if he really didn’t want to reach out his hand, he really wanted to knock on his sister’s head and see if the water inside was frozen.

Song Xun smiled helplessly. “Little Wan, be confident. Your idea is really good. Is there a cave inside? Is there really a treasure? We’ll know if we try later.”

But now, the most important thing was to go back for dinner.

The three of them didn’t think about it anymore. After all, thinking about it was useless.

As Song Xun and Chang Fei were each holding a cub, Chang Wan was still struggling. “I was just saying. Are you guys really going to blow it up?”

“Let’s give it a try. What if there really is a treasure? Then we’ll be rich.”

What she said was true, but how to blow up this mountain was a real problem.

Don’t look at this several-dozen-meter-high small hill as not being very high or long, but the extending mountain range went all the way to the highest peak of the entire Ning Mountain to the west. How could they blow it up?

They didn’t have any bombs.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

This was a difficult problem, but it wasn’t urgent.

It was already dark, and dinner had been ready for a long time. Ji Tang had even called her several times through the White Light Stone. If she didn’t go back now, she would probably be scolded again.
