Chapter 168

A meal quickly finished, and Lin Qianhuan indeed felt tired. She and He Lu crawled into the tent to rest.

Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng were responsible for cleaning up, but their eyes turned to several sneaky figures, peeking out from around the corner.

The two exchanged a look, not making a sound, but got up and returned to the tent, looking out through the cracks.

The tunnel was dim and terrifying. The several figures overlapped and intertwined, but they dared not launch an attack for a long time.

Lin Yixuan wasn’t worried, and raised his hand to turn off the light in the tent, immediately plunging the surroundings into darkness.

This group was also vigilant, waiting until one o’clock in the morning before taking action.

“It’s this late, they should be sound asleep, right?”

“Definitely, let’s do it! Damn it, that bitch Ji Rong has ruined so many of our good deeds, we have to teach her a lesson. Let her know who’s the boss in the underground city!”

Hearing the footsteps, Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng, who had been dozing off while waiting, immediately perked up.

Their tent was at the outermost end. If the goal of this group was simply robbery, the first to be attacked would definitely be the two brothers.

Mustering their spirits and waiting, Lin Yixuan was about to make a move when he saw the group heading deeper inside.

Lin Wansheng was a little anxious, afraid that their target was Lin Qianhuan.

But they still did not stop in front of Lin Qianhuan and He Lu’s tent, but took advantage of the darkness to sneak into Ji Rong’s dilapidated shed.

Lin Wansheng frowned slightly. It seemed that Ji Rong’s living environment was indeed extremely poor. So many people were watching her, even coming to seek revenge late at night.

“Don’t let those guys succeed. Ji Rong is most familiar with the botanical garden, and Qianhuan still needs her.”

Lin Yixuan lightened his movements and chased after them, Lin Wansheng following closely behind.

The two were not slow, but they didn’t expect that the group’s target was very clear. In a few strokes, they tied the sleeping Ji Rong into a dumpling and carried her out.

“What are you all doing? It’s a bit impolite to come as guests so late at night.”

Lin Wansheng turned on the flashlight. In the dark night, the light was particularly dazzling, making it difficult for the other party to open their eyes.

“Damn it, brothers, let’s go! We must bring this bitch back to Brother Long today!”

The man carrying Ji Rong directed the others to step forward to trip Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng, while he planned to take the opportunity to leave.

But he underestimated the strength of Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng.

The people who rushed up were all dealt with by the brothers, leaving no one alive.

Under the day-to-day nourishment of the Spirit Spring water, ordinary survivors really didn’t have the ability to exchange a few moves with the two brothers.

“Where are you going? Don’t be in such a hurry.”

Lin Yixuan rushed forward and grabbed the man’s collar, raising his hand for a punch.

The man was dizzy from the blow, and inadvertently let go of Ji Rong’s hand, also about to fall to the ground in a daze.

Lin Yixuan reached out to catch Ji Rong, and gave Lin Wansheng a look.

They always had to leave one alive, and they had to pry something out of this guy’s mouth.

“Hey, wake up.”

Lin Yixuan gently placed Ji Rong on the ground, and raised his hand to shake her.

But the other party had no reaction.

“Even if she’s sleeping like a log, she should have woken up after experiencing so much, right?”

Lin Yixuan was a little puzzled, and raised his hand to test her breath.

Scorching hot.

“A fever?”

Thinking of the dense wounds on her body, Lin Yixuan had an answer in his heart.

Just in case, Lin Qianhuan had prepared an emergency backpack for everyone.

It contained food, water, daily necessities, and various medicines.

He walked into the tent and rummaged through it, pouring antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs into Ji Rong’s mouth, and also treated the wounds on her exposed skin.

Lin Wansheng passed by, escorting the man who had been tied into a twist: “Brother, when did you become so kind? Don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to her?”

Lin Yixuan rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with Lin Wansheng late at night.

After helping Ji Rong roughly treat her wounds, Lin Yixuan carried her back to the shed, gently placing her on the bed.

This was the first time he had entered the shed. With the light of the flashlight, he saw the furnishings inside.

A bed made of cardboard, a wooden stool with a broken leg, a small bedside table.

Besides that, there was only a wooden box.

Nothing else.

Lin Yixuan did not stay any longer, leaving the shed after settling Ji Rong.

The next day.

Day and night were no different in the underground city.

Lin Qianhuan slept soundly, and it was already noon when she woke up at 12 o’clock.

She yawned, simply washed up, and walked out of the tent.

“Big brother, second brother, what are you doing?”

Leaving the tent, Lin Qianhuan saw Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng threatening a man who was tied up with a knife.

“Who is he?”

“The one who kidnapped Ji Rong last night. It just so happened that your second brother and I squatted on him and left one alive. But this guy is pretty tight-lipped and won’t say anything.”

Lin Yixuan helped her tidy up her messy hair: “Are you hungry? What do you want for lunch?”

Lin Qianhuan shook her head slightly: “No. Where’s Ji Rong? She wasn’t killed by them, was she?”

Lin Yixuan shook his head slightly: “No, but her wound is inflamed, and she has a persistent high fever. She’s lying in the shed now, her life hanging in the balance.”

Lin Qianhuan immediately panicked and ran into the shed to check on Ji Rong’s condition.

The other party was lying on the cardboard bed, and although the temperature was suitable, she was covered with a thick quilt but was still shivering from the cold.
