AWITTGABAGIWOBAFOAP Chapter 20
by VolareChapter 20: Discovered! What are you doing?
Before seeing the person, only the loud, scolding voice stood out.
Song Ningwan picked up Allen with one hand and gently covered the child’s ears with his right.
The people who came in were all covered in dust and dirt, muttering incoherently as if they had experienced the most terrifying thing in their lives.
Seeing new people being thrown in, they felt nothing but pity and sadness.
With a casual glance, his eyes met. Song Ningwan saw Pulan in the group, surprised but saying nothing.
“You, what do you want to do with the child?!” The gaunt woman was the first to step forward, trying to snatch Allen away. Seeing that the child wasn’t crying or making a fuss and appeared breathless, her face turned pale. “He’s not breathing…”
Song Ningwan was puzzled and began to spout nonsense, “When I woke up, I found this child lying on the ground. I don’t know whose he is, but all I know is that he kept calling for ‘Papa’…”
“Whose child is this?” Seeing that no one spoke, Song Ningwan was a little embarrassed and sighed, “Never mind, he’s asleep. I’ll just keep holding him.”
“By the way, do you know where this is?”
Young Pulan was submerged in the crowd. She tried her best to squeeze out and looked up, “Sir, he is my younger brother. I’m very sorry for the trouble.” She paused, seeming to want to express her apology.
She began to explain, “We were just planning to go above ground to dig for things. My brother is too young and injured, so we left him here.”
Above ground?
Receiving Song Ningwan’s inquiring gaze, Pulan continued to explain, “People locked up here need to take hover cars to the surface to find things. If they can’t meet their daily quota, they can’t come back.”
So that’s how it is.
The cage was hidden deep within the underground tunnels. Setting off explosives would not only fail to save people but could also cause a massive collapse.
That method was ruled out first.
Otherwise, taking advantage of the City Management Bureau’s weak defenses, he could lead this group of captured people to fight their way out and force their way out.
Song Ningwan scanned the crowd, trying to find a leader.
Seeing that people were showing wary, defensive, and unfriendly gazes.
Hidden within the disguise were fear, pain, and other indescribable emotions.
It felt like no one was usable.
He could only give up on his plans for now and remain still.
In Upper Trash District, there was an artificial sky to distinguish between day and night. Now, deep underground, the dim lights blurred people’s concept of time.
Logically speaking, although the lives of ants were worthless, they were still free labor and shouldn’t be allowed to starve to death.
But for some reason, even though they had finished their work and it should have been time to eat, the nutrient paste was late in coming, and people were starving.
Song Ningwan hadn’t felt much at first, but when he saw Pulan faint and become unsteady several times, he remembered that the children were hungry.
“Mmm…”
“Awake? Hungry?”
Allen in his arms rubbed his stomach, lowered his eyes, leaned his head on Song Ningwan’s shoulder, and shook his head.
“Going home tonight.” Song Ningwan stroked Allen’s golden hair, unwilling to let the child walk on his own. In everyone’s eyes, they didn’t look like a “father and son” who had just met.
However, no one cared about such a small interlude.
Because what was more frightening than hunger was the impending death.
Rumble—
A muffled roar came from overhead, followed by shaking under their feet, and they couldn’t keep their balance.
“What’s going on?!”
“Help!!!” Cries for help were unanswered.
Song Ningwan thought, the time had come. Ka’lier had chosen this moment to strike, breaking open the tunnel entrance leading down from the City Management Bureau.
“Allen, after you get out, find your brother.”
“Papa?” Although he didn’t understand the impending danger, Allen still chose to nod obediently.
Making eye contact with Pulan, Song Ningwan took the lead in walking up to the cage and saw the combination lock on it.
Just a common encryption program. All he needed to do was get the IP address and transmit it to the world using his spiritual power.
Just as his finger was about to touch the combination lock, he was interrupted by a deafening exclamation, “Don’t! What are you doing?!”
“Please calm down!” Pulan used her weak body to block the crazy old man, “This gentleman is saving you. He will take you away from here and give you a new life!”
“Bullshit new life! We want to stay here! We’re not going anywhere!!!” The shaking became more intense, and the old man fell and hit his head, bleeding. He didn’t seem to feel the pain and got up from the ground, running towards Song Ningwan with a ferocious expression, “Hurry! He’s going to break the rules. Let’s kill him!”
“You… dare to block my way, die!”
Pulan was suddenly pushed to the ground with great force. “Ugh!”
Her neck was grabbed by a hand, lifted up, and her body swayed from side to side in the air.
“Sir… don’t worry about me,” the light in her eyes blurred. She seemed to see Song Ningwan turning his head, so she raised the corners of her mouth.
With a creak, the iron cage was opened.
Song Ningwan put down Allen and wiped away the tear from the corner of his eye with his thumb, “Run out quickly! If anyone tries to kill you, say your name is Allen Jian.”
“Papa…”
“Go!” After saying that, he kicked the old man’s wrist. Pulan was like a soulless doll, thrown away carelessly.
Song Ningwan caught the thin girl, only then realizing how bony she was.
“Pulan, why did you stand in front of me?”
Hearing someone calling her, Pulan opened her eyes with effort. Her throat was filled with blood, and her speech was unclear, “Si… sir, I can protect you too…” Just like the first time, you protected me without hesitation in the fireworks explosion.
“You can’t escape, you can’t. The rules of Upper Trash District are supreme!” The crowd gradually woke up. As the earth trembled, more and more people began to obstruct Song Ningwan.
Why would they rather die than break the rules?
With no time for sentimentality, Song Ningwan stood up and was about to leave when someone grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.
“Don’t go!”
“Hold him…”
Song Ningwan frowned and found someone lying on the ground, grabbing his foot and refusing to let go.
This place could be described as shaking the earth and mountains, it was definitely going to collapse.
If they didn’t leave quickly, they would all be buried under the soil.
Song Ningwan watched as dust fluttered down from the air, particles rising everywhere, his eyes turning cold.
“The Jian family! The Jian family will protect us! The rules are supreme…”
Since he couldn’t save them, then he would destroy them.
You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
“Go…”
Hearing a weak call from behind, Song Ningwan felt the restraint on his ankle disappear, and he rushed to the iron gate in one breath.
Opening the stuck area, he rushed out.
In that instant turning his head, the ants in the cage were disheveled, tearing at each other’s flesh.
The gaunt woman was trampled underfoot, her teeth had long since fallen out, and her face was covered in blood.
Even though he was far away, he could still see the lip movement clearly.
“You are a good person.”
The tunnel went from wide to narrow, and the further he went, the smaller the space became, so he could only crawl forward.
Because Pulan in his arms had a weak breath, Song Ningwan had no medicine on him and could only repeat over and over, “Your brother is waiting for you, don’t sleep.”
Seeing that the effect wasn’t great, he could only speed up his crawling, so he could get out as soon as possible to treat her.
Crawling out of the tunnel that led directly to the hall, there were no guards along the way, presumably they had all been lured away by Ka’lier.
Song Ningwan picked up Pulan, didn’t waste time, and directly used his spiritual power to break open a door and walked in.
Before him, large and small screens showed various scenes of streets, houses, and other scenery.
It looked like a monitoring room.
After just one glance, Song Ningwan picked up a chair and smashed it directly onto the screens.
Buzz buzz—
After a snowy screen appeared, an alarm sounded, and red lights swept across.
“Warning! Warning! Unknown object has invaded!”
Song Ningwan immediately left the monitoring room, went up from the second floor, and followed the signs to the medical room.
He found that there was a medical worker inside operating something on the electronic screen.
“You’re back? What happened downstairs…” The doctor said halfway, turned his head, and was dumbfounded, “You, you are…”
Before he could finish speaking, Song Ningwan threw something and knocked him unconscious.
The medical equipment in front of him was very advanced, more advanced than any equipment Song Ningwan had seen since coming to the apocalypse.
First, he took out a painkiller from the cold box and fed it to her. Song Ningwan put Pulan into the healing pod without saying a word.
He watched as the liquid in the pod seeped into her skin, wisps of white lines wrapped around her flesh and blood, gradually healing her.
Song Ningwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and inadvertently fell to his knees on the ground. He lifted the corners of his clothes that were stuck to his flesh and blood, and his skin was turned outward.
Tsk.
He was so busy taking care of others that he forgot about himself.
“Hiss!” Song Ningwan rummaged out gauze, sat on the leather chair, simply bandaged his wound, and looked at the unconscious medical staff.
He took the gold-rimmed glasses off the bridge of his nose, as well as his white coat.
The gentle appearance didn’t look like someone who was seriously injured.
If someone came in, he could temporarily pretend to be treating Pulan to buy time.
Time passed by, and the alarm downstairs stopped, and neat footsteps got closer and closer to the second floor.
Until the ward door was pushed open.
“Sir, please take a look at young master Allen!”
Song Ningwan put on a white mask and standard glasses, making it difficult for ordinary people to see any difference.
Hearing about Allen, Song Ningwan immediately stood up from the leather chair and took the unconscious child from the hands of the City Management team.
He couldn’t reveal his identity. Song Ningwan coughed and lowered his voice, “Everyone out. Too many people will affect the treatment.”
“This… Young Master?”
The crowd scattered to the left and right, and Yin Lun, as noble as a god, walked over, only glanced at Song Ningwan, and ordered, “Everyone out.”
“Your injuries are very serious… Young Master Yin Lun.” Someone reminded him.
With a look from Yin Lun, no one dared to say more.
Just as everyone was about to retreat, another small team came up and knelt down, kowtowing, “Young Master, it was this subordinate’s fault for accidentally injuring young master Allen! I am willing to die to atone for my sins, please forgive me!!!”
Yin Lun’s gaze had no warmth at all. When he looked at people, it was like an ice Cone piercing into their bones, making them feel like they were walking on thin ice, in unbearable pain.
“Break their bones and feed them to the dogs.” With a cold sentence, they were in despair to the point of being unable to breathe.
“Please…” This team’s faces were pale, not knowing what they were begging for, before being dragged out, their miserable cries echoing throughout the building.
“Oh right, everything downstairs is blown up. This building…” Yin Lun paused, said casually, “Let it be reduced to ashes.”
Blow up the City Management Bureau?!
Although Allen almost died underground, but…
This was the renowned City Management Bureau with rich history!
Even though this matter sounded absurd, no one dared to disobey Jian’s intentions.
After all, the rules of Upper Trash District were supreme.
Song Ningwan knew the outcome, but he still couldn’t help but feel disgust at Yin Lun’s indifference.
He picked up Allen, pushed open the inner medical room, opened another medical pod, set up the data, and carefully touched the child’s cheek.
Soft.
“I’m afraid we’ll never see each other again.” Song Ningwan smiled as he put Allen into the pod, and couldn’t help but touch his soft golden hair.
Just as he retracted his hand, Yin Lun’s voice came from behind.
“What are you doing?”
!
He was seen?!
