Blocking the Way

Chapter 12 Blocking the Way (Please continue reading)

Upon hearing Xu Feng's question, Xiao Dan immediately recited mechanically as if reciting a memorized text:

"Martial artists are divided into three realms: Warrior, General, and God of War. Each realm has three sub-levels!"

Mutant creatures and alien races are divided into three levels: Beast Soldier, Beast General, and Lord.

Each realm and martial artist also has three sub-levels.

These correspond to nine threat levels, from lowest to highest: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

Xu Feng patted her head: "Very good, quick Q&A."

Xiao Dan immediately clenched her fists: "Ready!"

Xu Feng quickly asked, "What level corresponds to a mid-tier beast general?"

"Hmm," the little girl pouted and grunted for a moment before decisively saying, "Grade B!"

What does S-rank correspond to?

"New-level Lord!"

"Okay, next question—"

After several rounds of rapid Q&A, Xu Feng also reinforced some of his knowledge through Xiao Dan's explanations.

"By the way, Dad, there are more soldiers at the base lately."

As they walked, Xiao Dan suddenly pointed to the soldiers who were quickly lining up for morning exercises and said something.

Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat: "More? How did you know?"

"Hehe, we used to love leaning on the railing to watch those uncles, they were so handsome!"

Xiao Dan smiled and said excitedly to Xu Feng.

Looking at her adoring expression with starry eyes, Xu Feng was speechless: "How old are you? You're already behaving badly every day! You're not allowed to look at those big-headed soldier uncles anymore. Isn't your dad handsome enough?"

Just as Xu Fengtian was shamelessly lecturing Xiao Dan, Bai He's voice suddenly rang out from behind:

"Come on, Lao Xu, I've heard you bragging from far away."

If you were really that handsome, you could easily hook up with a few rich women and never have to worry about food or clothing.

"Haha, please excuse my poor performance." Xu Feng shamelessly turned around and greeted Bai He.

The two stood by the roadside, watching the two little girls walk into the classroom hand in hand.

"Let's go, let's go to work." Xu Feng waved his hand, and the two grown men walked side by side toward the airport.

"By the way, did you hear gunshots yesterday?" Xu Feng suddenly asked, remembering what happened last night.

Baihe was immediately taken aback: "Gunshots? Where did they come from?"

"Someone came to check on the area near the shantytown last night; they even knocked on my door and asked me what was going on."

"I really didn't hear that."

When the two arrived at the meeting point while chatting casually.

However, they found a notice on the bulletin board that read "Temporary Security Check".

"Security check? Then I don't have to go to work today?" Xu Feng immediately smiled.

"We just went through security last month, why are we having to go through security again today?" Baihe frowned and sighed.

"Why are you sighing? You're not happy about paid leave?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.

Baihe covered his face and said painfully, "Hehe, my wife just asked me to go with the transport team to the trading area of ​​District 20 next door."

I really didn't want to go, okay? I used work as an excuse before, but now I'm doomed.

When will middle-aged men finally have some free time?!

Recalling the visit of those martial artists last night, Xu Feng sensed something unusual.

"Why does it feel like security measures have become stricter lately? Has something happened?"

"How would I know? By the way, I haven't seen you go out in ages. Would you like to come with us for a walk?"

Baihe looked at Xu Feng and extended an invitation.

Xu Feng was actually very curious about the outside world and wanted to know about its customs and culture.

After much deliberation, considering his cooking skills and limited assets, he ultimately shook his head and declined.

"I'll pass. I've been spending a lot lately, and I have a feeling that something's not right."

"Think about it again. Running out is always risky; it's slightly safer near the base."

Baihe paused for a moment, then looked deeply at Xu Feng: "Old Xu, have you really turned over a new leaf? I heard it from others before and thought it was unlikely."

"A prodigal son who returns is a prodigal son. Am I a prodigal son? I was just a fool before."

Hsu Feng responded with a hearty laugh.

Baihe smiled and said, "My husband must be so bored he has nothing better to do."

Besides, with the transport team's escort squad around, they can handle anything that happens; we're not ordinary people.

"Alright then, see you tomorrow."

Xu Feng nodded before bidding farewell to Baihe.

Back home, Xu Feng thought about it more and more and felt that his guess was indeed a precaution.

Regardless of right or wrong, it's always good to be cautious.

After hesitating for a moment, he simply went straight to the trading area and bought some canned goods and easy-to-preserve fast food.

Immediately afterwards, he bought two bags of rice, five large buckets of purified water, ten kilograms of fierce beef, and twenty kilograms of ordinary beef.

There were also some tools and such, which cost nearly three thousand yuan.

After he made three trips to move the items, he attracted the attention of some observant people on the street on the fourth trip.

"Hey buddy, what are you doing hoarding so much stuff?"

The two men who stopped Xu Feng were tall and neatly dressed.

One had short hair, and the other had shoulder-length hair but was wearing a headband.

The tattoos on their arms and the weapons they carried still made Xu Feng wary.

It's not that he has any objection to tattoos.

But when two tattooed young men with weapons stop you.

You'd better be on your guard.

Moreover, his current location is just away from the crowded parts of the trading area; it's not exactly remote, but there aren't many people there either.

"Oh, nothing much. I just happen to be free today and I'm thinking of buying some things for the house. I'm usually too lazy to go out."

Xu Feng patiently explained.

From a young age, whenever he was away from home, he always kept in mind his parents' saying: "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either" and the principle of "the happy ones yield."

"Oh, are you selling these canned goods? We're buying them at high prices lately."

The short-haired youth who was in the lead asked with a smile.

Meanwhile, another person quietly stood beside Xu Feng, and the two of them sandwiched Xu Feng between them.

Xu Feng glanced at the man, then casually touched his collar:

"I'm not selling it. I'll eat it myself. Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."

As he spoke, he took a step to the side and continued walking forward.

But the young man with the headband still stepped aside, blocking Xu Feng's path: "You haven't finished speaking yet, what's your hurry?"

The short-haired youth standing to the side smiled slightly and was about to step forward to "offer some kind words of advice," but suddenly Xu Feng raised his hand and flicked it away.

"Whoosh!"

puff!

A streak of cold light grazed the short-haired youth's earlobe before embedding itself deeply into the concrete pillar behind him!

The two were startled by the sudden attack.

She immediately screamed in alarm, took a few steps back, and looked to the side in horror.

The throwing knife was seen deeply embedded in the concrete utility pole by the roadside, about an inch deep.

The short-haired youth nervously touched his earlobe and discovered a trace of blood.

"You, you—" He looked at Xu Feng and reached for the knife at his waist.

Xu Feng stared coldly at the two men, his hands on his waist: "If we make a move now, it's either you or me who lives."

The short-haired youth and the youth with the headband were stunned for a moment, and both showed signs of backing down.

Seeing that the two men didn't dare to make a move, Xu Feng coldly uttered a single word: "Get lost!"
