Chapter 324: Chapter 324: To the Granary
It was clear without thinking that Fan Qing had definitely been threatened.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so distraught and afraid to say anything.
Now that the situation had been clarified, nobody had a good impression of the doctor anymore.
"But now that we can’t find anyone, what should we do?"
Ye Mianmian raised the key issue, and even if they went out, it wasn’t certain that there would be anyone.
Everyone understood that in this situation, a regular house absolutely wouldn’t last.
Fan Qing grew more anxious and couldn’t even cry anymore.
"The people he brought back are actually still alive.
If they had died, there would be no effect from their nourishment.
Moreover, he has also developed quite a few weapons.
I don’t understand them, but I heard him say, there’s one that could destroy heaven and earth, and no one could escape."
"I mean, what the heck?
I don’t believe it’s that awesome."
Zhang Kaiyang was somewhat disdainful, indeed, disliking a person meant disliking everything about them.
"Okay, whether it’s true or false, we don’t need to consider this matter now.
Let’s talk about these things when he really shows up."
Song Yi made a definitive statement, but Fan Qing still wanted to argue for something.
He opened his mouth but didn’t manage to say anything.
"Brother Song, so what do we do now? Should we go find Brother Liang?"
"Yes, since we promised Xiao Ling, let’s go and see if we can find them."
Jhiang Yuan was somewhat speechless. What kind of terrible secret was this? She didn’t want to go.
To say she was cold-hearted or anything else, just before, outside, how many people were crushed to death by rocks.
How many lives did she have that she should take such a risk?
"I was thinking, there’s no dining hall left, and their food is delivered daily.
So, let’s go straight to the granary."
"The granary?"
Jhiang Yuan’s eyes lit up, somewhat incredulously.
"Right, they’re most likely over there."
"But we don’t know where the granary is, and there are definitely guards there, it won’t be easy to just walk in, right?"
Song Yi nodded, feeling that Zhang Kaiyang’s intelligence was finally online for once.
"So far, I know of four places."
"Four places?"
Everyone became excited.
"Brother Song, you’re too awesome, knowing all this."
"But, if there are four, which one should we go for?
They must have permitted them to be exposed as a precautionary measure."
If they failed, it wouldn’t end everything in one fell swoop.
Even Song Yi had to admire such shrewd and calculating strategists.
As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket.
After opening it, it was clearly a hand-drawn map.
If she wasn’t mistaken, it was the one she had seen before.
Unexpectedly, in these past few days, Song Yi had already perfected it so well.
"Look, we are here right now, this location is the closest.
Normally, there are two people guarding the entrance.
But in the two houses next to it, there are ten people each.
That is to say, just at the entrance, there are twenty-two people."
"Now that these two houses are probably gone, these twenty people have lost their hiding places."
Jhiang Yuan stated her opinion, and Ye Mianmian also came over.
"Moreover, with the wind so strong and so many rocks outside, the two people at the entrance might not necessarily stay here."
"Yes, but the odds are that the fewer the people, the more likely it is they would increase. That’s very possible."
Song Yi, having followed that old leader for many years, should know his principles of action quite well.
So, increasing the guard was nearly certain.
"What should we do? If they’re not outside, then they are inside."
Because this place wasn’t just any building; it resembled the shelters for refuge.
The probability was that it had been carved out of a mountain of rock, so there was no question about its sturdiness.
"It’s not certain; there won’t be too many people inside."
His expression grew stern; those people didn’t just guard against outsiders, they didn’t completely trust their own people either.
"Then let’s go here, but we need to think of a foolproof plan.
The granary isn’t an ordinary place, and they will have defenses set up."
Jhiang Yuan cautioned, worried everyone might be too careless.
"Right, this is unlike every other time before, so we must plan carefully.
If we don’t succeed, we’re prepared to face the consequences."
The group was armed; everyone knew that.
If they failed, lives would be at stake.
Everyone planned for over an hour, and it was now half-past twelve.
Jhiang Yuan took out some compressed biscuits from her backpack for everyone to eat.
Right now, these were most suitable.
After a brief setup, the five of them set out.
The granary was not far away.
In fact, Changming Village wasn’t very large.
The distance to their destination was estimated to be about five hundred meters.
"The people over there might be observing us in secret; let’s all be careful."
"Mm!"
As they set out, the wind grew stronger, raging furiously to the point that Jhiang Yuan could barely stand.
Buffeted wildly by the wind, Ye Mianmian, too, was struggling.
The two supported each other but didn’t get far.
In the end, Song Yi couldn’t stand by any longer; he came over and pulled them up, and only then did they start moving with difficulty.
Upon reaching their destination, nobody spoke; they were like unintentional intruders in a storm.
The perimeter wall on this side had crumbled halfway; for some reason, the lower half was especially strong.
Song Yi directly went over with Zhang Kaiyang, lifted a large stone from nearby, and hurled it at the door.
The door, being just an ordinary iron one, gave way after a couple of hits.
No sooner had they entered than they were met with knives against their necks.
"What are you doing?"
"Big brother, don’t get me wrong, I’m part of the patrol.
A brother ran out, and I’ve come looking for him."
Song Yi managed to remain calm as he negotiated with them.
"Bullshit, who comes here to look for someone?"
"I am looking for someone, truly. We’ve come to the end, and it’s just too cold.
We had nowhere to go, and seeing that this building hadn’t collapsed, we thought we’d come in to get out of the wind."
After all, they knew the situation around them well.
This explanation was very reasonable.
They couldn’t find a single flaw in it, and with Zhang Kaiyang’s convincing manner of speaking, his words seemed thoroughly credible.
"There’s no one here you’re looking for; get lost!"
The response was extremely rude.
However, the five of them didn’t plan to turn back.
"Big brother, please, let us stay here for a bit.
The wind outside is just too strong; we can’t stand it!"
The man clearly wasn’t impatient and Jhiang Yuan had observed this.
This house was likely layered inside out; the exterior was just a transition, similar to the other side.
The most important part was inside; the food was probably hidden there.
Besides, there were a total of eight men outside, each armed with a gun.
If what Song Yi said was correct, there likely weren’t any people inside.
