Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 487: Chapter 212: Commercial Supermarket Complex Plan_3

In one of the larger caves, Chen Jun and his brother Chen Cai were strung up separately.

A tall, burly man held a vine stick in his hand.

He sneered at Chen Jun and said, ”So, you two came up the mountain from the north?”

”Yes, boss, please spare us. We just wanted to climb the mountain to escape the flood.” Chen Jun pleaded, his face bruised and battered, with whip marks all over his body.

The burly man turned to look at a group of people behind him.

Among the group, there was a short, balding, and lean middle-aged man with a somewhat brutal look, eating unknown animal meat while squeezing the buttocks of a fair-skinned beautiful woman beside him.

The burly man respectfully said, ”Brother Tian, this person doesn’t seem to be lying. We’ve interrogated his companion separately before, and their stories were similar.”

Tian Wei said nothing; his hand was deep under the woman’s skirt. Her face turned red, and her breathing became heavy.

The crowd pretended not to notice and didn’t look at the woman.

Everyone knew Boss Tian’s temper wasn’t good; if they looked around carelessly, they might get beaten up by Boss Tian.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses beside Tian Wei said, ”Boss Tian, it seems these two really climbed the mountain to seek refuge.”

”Recently, quite a few people have died in our mining operations. The new group they mentioned has about a hundred people. If we can capture them, our manpower would greatly expand.”

Tian Wei then stopped what he was doing and asked, ”Where is that group now?”

The middle-aged man with glasses turned and signaled the burly man to ask.

The burly man, whip in hand, approached Chen Jun and cursed, ”Speak up, where is that group of people?”

Just as he was about to strike with the whip, Chen Jun quickly shouted, ”I’ll tell you, near Phoenix Temple to the north. When we got ashore, they were fighting with the people from Phoenix Temple. My brother and I seized the chaos to run west and narrowly escaped to here—ah!”

Though he answered quickly, the burly man still whipped him, cursing, ”Damn! Why so fast? Are you rushing to be reborn?”

He seemed unsatisfied and whipped twice more, making Chen Jun scream.

Then he turned to look at Tian Wei and the middle-aged man with glasses and said, ”Boss, Old Sun, he said that group is near Phoenix Temple. Perhaps Tu Long’s people have already taken them.”

The middle-aged man named Old Sun adjusted his glasses and gently shook his head. ”Not likely, at least that hundred or so people aren’t much fewer than those from Phoenix Temple.”

”The key point is that there are quite a few superpower users in that group. If they really want to fight, it would be evenly matched.”

”Given Hong Fu’s nature, he wouldn’t be willing to sacrifice his foundation for a headcount battle. I estimate that Hong Fu is more likely to play dirty tricks on them.”

”Brother Tian, maybe we should send some people to the north to check the situation.”

Tian Wei snapped irritably, ”What to check? If those two groups are fighting, isn’t it the perfect time for us to strike, capture Tu Long and Hong Fu, and take over that shelter?”

Sun Gui smiled bitterly, ”Whether these two are trustworthy is another issue. The key is we need to check if those two groups have fought to the end. What if they reconciled and retreated, and we went straight up there for nothing?”

”If they’ve fought and both suffered losses, then we can strike them separately.”

”Especially this new group on the mountain, surely they won’t come empty-handed, they should have some stored food.”

”Right now, in the mining area, our food supply is quite limited.”

Tian Wei impatiently said, ”Not enough food again? Damn it, these miners only know how to eat, they should be killed.”

Sun Gui advised, ”Brother Tian, if we kill them, who will mine for us? We still need them to mine superpower stones.”

”I’ll have people investigate. If there’s a chance, we’ll strike and take that group.”

Tian Wei nodded, waved his hand, and impatiently got up, ”Old Sun, I’m leaving this matter to you.”

Sun Gui quickly nodded and got up to see him off.

After Tian Wei left the cave with the girl in the short skirt in his arms, the tense atmosphere in the cave eased considerably.

”Uncle Sun, Brother Tian’s power is getting stronger. Should you advise him to stop absorbing fire attribute superpower stones?” a young man whispered.

Sun Gui glanced at him, ”Do you dare to advise him?”

The young man immediately opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything.

They had been with Tian Wei for a long time and naturally knew his temperament.

Tian Wei was violent, killing people at the slightest disagreement, not one to be reasoned with.

In fact, Tian Wei wasn’t always like this.

Before he awakened his superpower, he had a temper, but he wasn’t this terrifying.

Even when he first awakened his flame superpower, this situation didn’t occur.

This temperament emerged after he absorbed many fire attribute superpower stones.

So, everyone in the mining shelter suspected that Tian Wei’s violent and brutal behavior was related to his absorption of fire attribute superpower stones.

Some had advised him before, but they were beaten to death by Tian Wei before finishing their words.

Since then, no one dared to advise him again.

Sun Gui looked around at everyone and said, ”We guard the superpower stone mining area, control a large amount of fire attribute superpower stones, and have produced a large number of blast talisman stones. This is wealth.”

”In this world now, blast talisman stones are strategic resources. Whoever controls the superpower stone mine is the boss.”

”Without Brother Tian leading, we would’ve been devoured by the other three shelters long ago, leaving no bones.”

”Brother Tian’s temper isn’t good, but at least with him, we can eat and drink well. If we go to other shelters, would they trust us outsiders?”

”In times of danger, they would only sacrifice us.”

”So put away those thoughts. By guarding the mining area, we can survive this apocalyptic flood.”

”Miao Fei, you’re in charge of gathering information. Report back before the sea tide arrives.”

From the crowd, a strong young man, agile like a leopard, stepped forward and nodded, ”I’ll give you results by tomorrow.”

”Good, go early and return early.”

Miao Fei nodded, immediately called two people, and left the mining area, disappearing into the storm.
