Despite having anticipated this, when Feng Wentai saw Zhou Rong’s innocent expression, he was choked with anger.
“—Brother,” Zhou Rong, disregarding Feng Wentai’s expression, forcibly put his arm around his neck and walked into the courtyard.
“In a couple of days, we plan to go to City B to find Xiangzi’s grandfather at the military region. As you know, these leaders have special shelters. Colonel Guo doesn’t want his grandson to be in danger…”
Feng Wentai repeatedly agreed, “Of course, of course.”
“We plan to return within three days, a week at most. During this time, you and your team might have to work hard, helping to take care of this fertilizer factory. The thirty-six survivors were all rescued by us from City T,” Zhou Rong stopped, pressed Feng Wentai’s shoulder seriously, and said, “When we return from the military region, we’ll specially bring everyone who has been through this hardship into the shelter.”
Feng Wentai was about to ask something when Zhou Rong lowered his voice, “Of course, it’s not like those concentration-camp-style shelters that take in everyone. You understand, brother.”
Feng Wentai naturally understood, but he nodded, still looking somewhat hesitant.
With the weapons already confiscated, what if they enter the leaders’ shelter and leave everyone stranded at the fertilizer factory? That would be terrible.
Zhou Rong sighed under Feng Wentai’s suspicious gaze, “I want to, Brother Feng! But the ground in City B has basically been overrun. If we drive in with you all, fighting all the way…”
He pointed towards the factory dormitory, “Have you seen the pregnant woman?”
Feng Wentai was full of doubts.
“You think we’re carrying a pregnant woman for no reason? She’s Xiangzi’s… that one!”
Zhou Rong shook his head painfully, his face looking utterly helpless: “If it weren’t for the Guo surname in her belly, we would have charged into the military region long ago. Why would we be stuck in this fertilizer factory!”
Feng Wentai finally understood.
“You understand. We have no choice. But fortunately, the leaders can send a helicopter. As long as everyone holds on until we return from the military region, the helicopter will pick everyone up, and everyone will be safe,” Zhou Rong patted Feng Wentai’s arm and laughed, “Brother Feng, you’ve worked hard, and naturally…”
