Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 654 Planning
Liu Feng's fever finally subsided completely in the afternoon of the next day, but because he had not eaten anything except water for two consecutive days, he looked very weak.
After waking up, Liu Feng saw Cai Min's somewhat happy look, and then other people who came over one after another.
After learning what happened from Cai's father, Liu Feng sighed, and then looked at Gu Tongwan and Chen Yanxi with gratitude: "Thank you for taking the risk to rescue me, but I can't stay here any longer. If Chen Ni's people find out that you took me away, it will implicate all of you."
"Chairman Liu, you are being too polite. It was you who saved me in City D and kindly introduced me to the camp. If it weren't for you, our family of five would not have been qualified to enter the wanderer base camp, and we almost got cheated by human traffickers. You are the benefactor of Cai Kang and even the entire Cai family. Since you are a benefactor, you should stay here and take care of your health. As for Chen Ni, that villain will sooner or later receive the retribution and punishment he deserves." Cai Kang felt a little reluctant when he heard what Liu Feng said, but at the same time, he became more angry when he thought of what Chen Ni had done.
Cai's mother also persuaded him to stay, "President Liu, if our family was worried about being implicated, we would not have agreed to take the risk to save people. Besides, we urgently need you to recover and expose Chen Ni's true face. Only in this way can our Cai family and the entire camp not be in danger."
Liu Feng didn't expect that the Cai family, whom he had only met by chance, would lend a helping hand at the critical moment. Compared with Chen Ni, whom he had supported for many years and treated as their own son, but Chen Ni turned against him, it seemed that the Cai family was more grateful. Thinking of this and his own current situation, he only felt regret and loneliness.
Perhaps because he couldn't tell that he was in a low mood, Gu Tongwan took the initiative to break the slightly lonely atmosphere, "President Liu, what is the current situation of the guild? Is there anyone in the guild that you can trust?"
"There are two more people who are trustworthy. They are Wen Yiyun, the leader of Hunter Group 3, and Ling Hai, the leader of Group 6. Both of them have been with me since the beginning. Ling Hai is Liu Yu's childhood friend. The two grew up together. When Liu Yu got into trouble, it was Ling Hai who risked his life to bring out the body. He even helped to deal with the aftermath. Wen Yiyun is a former veteran and a man of integrity. He can't tolerate any injustice and seems to have a problem with Chen Ni, but he is not against the person but the issue. The rest are either neutral or used by Chen Ni. I can't think of anyone else for now."
"I have some impression of these two people, especially Ling Hai, who achieved good results in last year's hunting conference and was invited by the Hunter Association to participate in related activities. He was once considered to be Chen Ni's biggest competitor for the position of vice president, but it seems that he later took the initiative to give up the position of vice president." Xu Xuesong was very curious about the real reason, because it was Ling Hai, as the inspector, who issued him the hunter qualification certificate during the hunter level examination, and he had a deep impression of this person.
There was also the fact that this matter was widely circulated in the camp at the time. Some said that it was because Ling Hai was injured in the hunting conference and was unable to continue to upgrade, so he thought he was not qualified for the position of vice president. Some said that he did not like to be bound by the position because of his personality. Some said that he was worried that after taking the position of vice president, the outside world would think that he relied on his relationship with the Liu family to get to the top, so he chose to give up in order not to drag down the Liu family. But no matter what the reason, since Chen Ni took over the position of vice president, Ling Hai has rarely appeared in the guild, and most of the time he chooses to perform various special tasks outside the camp.
"Ling Hai chose to withdraw from the election for vice president because he was afraid of attracting gossip about the guild, and also because he didn't like the way the guild was operated. But he hasn't returned to the guild and I'm afraid Chen Ni deliberately assigned some difficult tasks to Team Six, which made it time-consuming and labor-intensive for Team Six to carry out. And that period of time was the best time for Chen Ni to completely control the entire guild." President Liu clutched the quilt with his withered hands, probably remembering the various things that happened during this period of time when he was under house arrest by Chen Ni.
"I heard that Wen Yiyu seems to be leading a team back soon. Cai Xing said so. He was supposed to come back today, but he suddenly said on the phone that he had to go outside the camp to pick up a few hunters who were on a mission outside. It seems that their car broke down on the way and they couldn't return. His name is Wen Yiyu." Cai Min had just talked to his brother on the phone in the morning, and he immediately became excited when he heard the name Wen Yiyu.
"Yiyun is back, and I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Now that I have escaped, Chen Ni might not be able to sit still and will take action against other members of the guild in advance." President Liu propped himself up slightly and his tone became hurried.
Fortunately, Cai Min immediately took out her cell phone and said, "I will call Cai Xing right away to tell him about this matter and ask him to settle Liu Yiyun somewhere else first, so as to avoid Chen Ni's trick."
"And there is Ling Hai. When Chen Ni was placing me under house arrest, he said that Ling Hai had been secretly sent back to the camp and that he was still investigating him. But from Chen Ni's tone at the time, he seemed certain that Ling Hai would fall into a trap, and that I was the bait to lure Ling Hai into the trap. I guess Ling Hai hasn't contacted me for this reason." President Liu spoke for a while and then seemed to be out of breath. He began to breathe heavily, and his complexion was even worse than before.
Father Cai quickly came forward with warm honey water to give it to him. He had not eaten for many days and was very weak. Currently, he could only drink some honey water and light white porridge to fill his stomach. He could only eat some food with animal oil after his body gradually recovered.
Fortunately, President Liu is gradually recovering, but they don’t have much time left. Once Chen Ni tracks them down, it means that they will have a head-on conflict with Chen Ni and his gang.
While the Cai family was waiting for news from Cai Min, Cai Min found that she could not get through to Cai Xing's phone.
I made phone calls from the afternoon to the evening and sent a lot of messages, but unfortunately, I didn't receive any response.
Cai Xing's disconnection plunged the Cai family into a new state of anxiety, especially Cai's mother, who was extremely anxious. She even thought of running to the security team to inquire about the news. Fortunately, Cai's father brought people back in time.
"Why are you so anxious? This isn't the first time that guy didn't answer the phone. Maybe there was an emergency on the way or he was delayed by something. In short, it's normal for them to be unable to contact people when they are on a mission. It's only been half a day, and you're panicking."
Compared to the calmer Father Cai, Mother Cai was already somewhat at a loss. Her already aggrieved mood suddenly became impatient and irritable, and she immediately complained: "Can you take a look now? Our family has been targeted. The people from the Nifeng Guild are trying to find fault with our family. In addition, our family is now in deep muddy water, and we don't know when those people will find our family. Cai Xing's current mission is related to the Nifeng Guild, and there is also a two-headed cat monster that appeared in our land. All these things have piled up and I am worried all day long. I am now looking forward to Cai Xing coming back soon so that we can reunite and make plans for the future."
Cai Min stepped forward and hugged Cai's mother's shoulders and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry too much. Maybe, maybe I'm just temporarily unable to answer the phone. Have you forgotten that he didn't contact us for three days while on a mission last year? And last June he took the hunter level exam, saying that he didn't want to be distracted during the retreat. He didn't go home for almost a month and didn't call back. It's only half a day today, so don't think too much. I'll call him later."
After Cai Min's persuasion, Cai's mother felt a little relieved and returned to her room. But when Cai Min came out, her brows were immediately covered with anxiety.
However, this time Cai Xing's disconnection was indeed abnormal. He was not seen until the third day. For this reason, Xu Xuesong made a special trip to the security team and his guild. The security team told the truth, because Cai Xing's mission this time was assigned by the guild, so the security team was not aware of it. The Xiaohe Guild, on the other hand, could not provide any information to the Cai family for the time being on the grounds of confidentiality. They only said that they would contact the Cai family as soon as Cai Xing returned.
Because Cai Xing had not returned for a long time, the atmosphere in the Cai family had become noticeably heavy in the past two days.
Cai Min was more clear-headed than her mother. After all, this kind of situation had occurred several times before, and the special nature of his identity as a hunter made it possible for him to encounter various uncontrollable accidents when performing his mission.
In order not to affect other people's mood, on the twelfth day of the lunar new year, Cai Min specially took out the frozen rabbit meat that Gu Tongwan had bought on the black market, and asked Cai's father to build a simple barbecue stove in the yard and roast the rabbit meat directly on the stove.
Gu Tongwan and Chen Yanxi did not go out today. They simply barbecued and drank hot tea in the yard, and everyone's tense mood eased a little.
Because there were so many people, two rabbits were roasted on the grill. Chen Yanxi was responsible for roasting one himself, and Gu Tongwan planned to coat the other with thick seasoning to make it spicy. In addition, there was braised rabbit meat made by Cai Min in the kitchen. Today they ate to their heart's content, just like having a full rabbit feast.
There was a large round table in the yard, with seven or eight people sitting around it, eating melon seeds and chatting. Two pots of tea were boiling on a small stove on the table, with some osmanthus black tea brewed in them. Drinking some black tea in winter can not only drive away the cold but also ease tense emotions.
It was almost noon and it was very quiet outside, unlike the first two days after arriving at the camp when one could still hear some firecrackers outside.
They had originally planned to leave on the Lantern Festival, but judging from the current situation, it might not be that easy to just leave. Firstly, it was still unknown what would happen to the Cai family after they left, and secondly, Chen Ni was probably already trying to conduct a comprehensive investigation of those who left. After all, the security team had a good relationship with the major hunter guilds, and if it was a request made by Chen Ni, the security team would probably find it difficult to refuse.
"Yunyun, why don't you go back to the base with Xiaoli and Lan Cen tonight? I'll let Yan Fan escort you. Just in case, let Tutu go back with you." Gu Tongwan took a sip of hot tea before saying to Liao Yunyun who was eating melon seeds enthusiastically.
Liao Yunyun threw the melon seed shells into the dustpan at her feet and shook her head like a rattle. "No, that won't do. How can I keep you here? Are we still friends who have risked our lives together? This isn't the first time we've been through thick and thin together. How can I be afraid?"
Xiaoli bit her lip and said as if she had made up her mind: "Wanwan, we won't leave either. We've thought about it. If we leave now and something happens to you, we will feel uneasy for the rest of our lives. Besides, isn't the situation not the worst yet?"
"It's not the worst, but I invited you to this trip, and I can't ask you to take the risk with me, so you should go back first."
"That's being too polite. Just like what Sister Yunyun said, if she can share the hardship with you, why can't we? And if we can't even get over this hurdle, then we can only say that this is our fate." Xiaoli was different from her usual noisy self and was calm and open-minded at this critical moment.
Perhaps she noticed that other people were looking at her with some surprise, and she felt embarrassed. "What's wrong? You're looking at me like this. Do you not know me or do you find that I have suddenly become more righteous and loyal?"
"Well, it was a bit unexpected. Let's put it this way. If the situation goes wrong, you just hide. Although Chen Ni is very capable in the camp, if both sides really want to fight to the death, we are not without a chance to escape." Gu Tongwan lowered his eyes and took a sip of hot tea. When he raised his eyes again, he looked at Chen Yanxi who was standing in front of the barbecue grill and cooking roasted rabbit.
Although Liao Yunyun knew that Chen Yanxi was very capable, she became interested after hearing what her friend said, so she leaned close to her ear and asked quietly, "Sister, tell me the truth, how capable is Chen Yanxi?"
"Aren't you quite clear about it?" Gu Tongwan looked at her leisurely. After all, Liao Yunyun had written many news reports about people with super powers, and should be familiar with the major guardian teams.
"Chen Yanxi is an S-level psychic, and Chen Ni is an A-level psychic, but he has at least more than thirty B-level psychics under his command, including some with rarer attributes. Although S-level psychics have the ability to kill all psychics below A-level at level one, don't forget, if a conflict really happens, when all the psychics rush up, Chen Yanxi will be unable to take care of himself. What should we non-psychics do? If it's one-on-one, I can still deal with it with a gun, but I'm not sure if there are more people. So just tell me the bottom line, Chen Yanxi should have the ability to deal with everyone, right?" Liao Yunyun said as she shook her best friend's arm.
Gu Tongwan thought for a while before answering, "I'm also quite curious about this. After all, I've never seen him exert his full strength, but he never likes to put people around him in danger. I think he is 80% to 90% sure that he will agree to let you stay in the camp this time. It would be better for you to see it with your own eyes."
Liao Yunyun was about to ask something, but Xiaoli in front of her screamed and spilled a cup of hot tea due to shaking hands, which temporarily interrupted their conversation.
