Chapter 45: Not Hannibal
Liu Ling'er repeated what she had just said once more.
"How is this possible?"Abiao's eyes widened.Recently, the survivors had turned the area around the Green Forest Hotel upside down.They found nothing—not even a hair.Abiao himself had led the team on several searches, but all efforts had been in vain.Abiao wasn't Hannibal; if he didn't have any other choice, he wouldn't resort to eating people.
"Are you absolutely sure? How could I possibly deceive you, Brother Biao?"Seeing Liu Ling'er's earnest expression, Abiao was half-skeptical."Such a good thing, why would you tell me about it?""I'm doing this to gain your protection, Brother Biao."Liu Ling'er smiled faintly and explained,"Although the warehouse is isolated, if someone else finds it, the supplies won't be mine.""Even if no one finds out, if I keep everything for myself, someone will notice eventually."
After hearing her explanation, Abiao slightly nodded, starting to believe her.Over time, the remaining survivors had become emaciated from hunger, their eyes glowing with desperation.And Liu Ling'er, looking just like any normal person, would definitely be noticed if she had food hidden away.At that point, her end would surely be miserable!"Alright, I agree!"Abiao thought for a moment before agreeing.First, getting the supplies was the most important thing.And recently, he had grown a little tired of Xiao Mei.If he could have some fun with Liu Ling'er, that would be even better!
"I'll take you there tonight."Liu Ling'er sighed with relief and smiled.After she left, Xiao Mei couldn't wait to approach, her face full of ingratiating smiles."Brother Biao, what is it that Liu Ling'er wants? She's being so mysterious."Abiao had no intention of hiding anything and shared the information that Liu Ling'er had given him.After hearing this, Xiao Mei froze for a moment, then quickly began to advise,"That little b*tch doesn't speak the truth. Don't trust her.""Why don't we just capture her and torture her for information?"Xiao Mei's suggestion came from a place of concern that Liu Ling'er might take her position by Abiao's side.Abiao understood her fears and smiled. He grabbed Xiao Mei's still-firm backside and teased,"Liu Ling'er is just a woman. She won't stir up any trouble.""As long as you listen to me, I won't mistreat you."After He Wang had been removed, the remaining survivors were scattered and no match for Abiao and the others.The only person Abiao needed to worry about on Phoenix Mountain was Su Chen, who held a shotgun.However, Su Chen had been hiding in his RV and hadn't shown his face, so Abiao didn't consider him a real threat.Xiao Mei wanted to say more, but Abiao's expression darkened, and his smile immediately disappeared."What's this? Are you questioning me?""N-no, of course not! I'll listen to everything you say, Brother Biao!"Xiao Mei jumped in fright and quickly explained.She owed her survival to Abiao.If Abiao ever turned on her, she would likely end up as food in the pot."That's better!"Abiao coldly snorted, pushing Xiao Mei aside, and walked toward the other people.Before long, all his subordinates gathered around.Upon hearing that Abiao had found supplies, their eyes lit up with excitement.When there was a real option, no one wanted to eat human flesh!Abiao and his group made preparations and patiently waited for nightfall.To be safe, Abiao also had his subordinates keep an eye on the other survivors.As night began to fall, he thought for a moment and called over one of the survivors, Wang Ye."Doctor Wang, I need you to help me with something!"Wang Ye initially wanted to refuse, but when he saw Abiao's insincere smile, he reluctantly said,"Whatever you say, Brother Biao.""Go knock on Su Chen's RV door and ask him for some food."Wang Ye froze in horror, his face turning pale."Brother Biao, isn't that sending me to my death?"Earlier, the survivors had tried to attack Nomadison's RV.They were first met with gunfire, then pepper spray, electric shocks, sulfuric acid, and various other attacks.Many of the survivors had been injured or killed.Wang Ye really didn't want to go to Su Chen."Don't worry. If you go alone and just ask for food, he won't harm you."Abiao reassured him.When Wang Ye still hesitated, Abiao's expression darkened. He coldly ordered,"If you won't go, don't blame me for being impolite!"Wang Ye felt a shiver run down his spine. Fearing he might become food for Abiao's group, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.He slowly got up and reluctantly walked toward Nomadison's RV."Knock knock knock..."Wang Ye nervously knocked on the door.But fortunately, no pepper spray or sulfuric acid came out. Instead, the steel plates slowly lifted, revealing Su Chen's figure."Is there something?""Uh, Su Brother, I... I can't take it anymore, I'm starving. Could you..."Before Wang Ye could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Su Chen."What does that have to do with me?"The steel plates lowered again, hiding the interior of the RV.Wang Ye stood frozen for a moment before helplessly turning back."Brother Biao, it's not my fault..."Wang Ye carefully relayed Su Chen's attitude to Abiao."Are you sure Su Chen is inside the RV?"Abiao asked coldly."I'm absolutely sure!""Alright, then. It's nothing. You can go now."Abiao waved him off.Wang Ye froze for a moment before quickly running off!Since Su Chen was still inside the RV, he had nothing to fear.Abiao thought to himself and nodded at his subordinates.After Manager Dang's death, the remaining hotel staff had all been recruited by Abiao.Now, he had nearly twenty people under his command.From Liu Ling'er's description, the supplies were plentiful, so Abiao mobilized everyone.As for Xiao Mei—She had no strength and stayed behind at the camp to prevent anyone from stealing supplies.Abiao, with his group, directly made their way to Liu Ling'er.Liu Ling'er was prepared and stood up, leading Abiao and the others out of the underground parking lot.With night vision cameras, Su Chen recorded the entire process.Watching Abiao and the others leave, he leaned back in his massage chair, a cold smile spreading across his face.He only needed to quietly wait for the results!...Liu Ling'er led the way, guiding Abiao and his group.Before long, the surroundings became somewhat desolate.The area had not been developed and was rather remote, with only a few scattered buildings.Abiao didn't think anything was wrong.After all, if the warehouse wasn't far from the resort hotel, it would have been discovered long ago."Brother Biao, the supplies are inside that building."Liu Ling'er pointed to a warehouse ahead and said to Abiao.Abiao didn't rush in but observed for a while. He cautiously said,"Alright, take us inside."
