The three faces showed no trace of their previous sorrow or pity, only savage killing intent.
Including the child.
The old man charged at the front.
His body expanded at an astonishing speed, growing to two meters forty in an instant.
His physique!
His appearance!
Completely transformed.
His entire body was covered in bulging muscles.
"Face the enemy!"
Xiao Ruoruo had experienced countless real battles.
Her reaction was extremely fast.
Pulling He Jiajia back, she summoned four vines simultaneously, attempting to restrain the old man.
*Swish!*
Two fireballs flew out.
Targeting the old man and the woman respectively.
The woman laughed.
With a wave of her hand.
The temperature suddenly dropped, and two ice shields appeared, blocking the fireballs.
*Crack, crack, crack...*
With a grating sound, the vines groaned under the strain, on the verge of snapping.
"Ah!"
The old man possessed immense strength.
*Bang!*
The vines were instantly torn apart.
"Dad! Kill them and take the crystal!" the little boy shrieked, his voice like a ghost's.
Dad?
No one had expected that the three were indeed a family, not grandfather, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
"Son, watch this!"
The old man broke free from the vines and charged at incredible speed.
He threw a punch towards the main gate.
At that moment, He Dong regained his senses.
He had no combat experience and was caught off guard by the sudden attack.
Not until now.
The ground trembled violently.
A wall of earth and stone rose up, blocking the old man's fist.
*Boom!*
With a loud roar, earth and stone flew from the wall, which was pierced through.
Of course, it was only a hole, not enough to let them in.
"My turn!"
The little boy actually made a move.
He…
Was also a super-powered individual!
A giant bird appeared in the sky.
"Summoning?" Xiao Ruoruo exclaimed in shock.
"Quick..."
He Dong's face turned pale as he shouted into the air-raid shelter, "All awakened individuals, come here!"
There were a few fellow workers who had worked hard in recent days and received crystal rewards.
However, they were only Level 1.
"Caw!"
The giant bird let out a piercing cry.
It was completely unlike the birds in this world!
It had the shape of a bird, but instead of feathers, it was covered in animal fur.
Its beak was filled with sharp teeth.
Its enormous maw opened.
Flames, like those from a flamethrower, instantly engulfed the forefront of the battlefield.
"Hide behind the wall!" He Dong roared.
The few fellow workers had limited use.
Level 1 abilities had very short attack ranges and were relatively weak.
Their only value was to help resist enemies if their abilities got close.
What to do?
Only Xiao Ruoruo was relatively strong.
However, her offensive ability was only the Fireball spell. Plant Manipulation was a support ability, used solely for binding.
As for He Dong…
He was skilled in defense, but incapable of offense.
In contrast, the attacking family of three had abilities that complemented each other perfectly.
The woman's ability was Ice Shield, which blocked Xiao Ruoruo's Fireball spell.
The old man was a mutated physique-type super-powered individual.
Skilled in strength and close combat.
The little boy's Summoning was also an offensive ability.
Offense was the best defense.
While in a defensive state, they would eventually be breached!
"Little beauties inside, I'll play with you later!"
"Heard of old but strong?"
"Your big brother is old but his gun is not, I guarantee you'll be satisfied, haha..."
The old man relentlessly pounded on the earthen wall.
All the while spewing vulgarities.
*Boom!*
The wall shattered.
Just as the old man was about to break through.
He Dong summoned another earth wall.
However, the mental energy consumption was immense!
In contrast.
The endurance and sustained combat ability of physique-type super-powered individuals far surpassed those of other types.
After all, physique-type abilities consumed stamina, not mental energy.
"Quick, think of something!"
He Dong's forehead was covered in sweat. "I can't hold on much longer!"
Xiao Ruoruo gritted her teeth.
If they couldn't win, they couldn't win.
What other plan could there be?
"Caw!"
In the air.
The giant bird continuously spewed flames. The few Level 1 super-powered workers were pinned behind the wall, afraid to show their heads.
Xiao Ruoruo attacked relentlessly.
But as soon as she cast a fireball, it was immediately blocked by the ice shield.
Vines had very little effect on physique-type super-powered individuals.
Are they going to die?
Suddenly!
Just as she was about to fall into despair, she saw a line of people in the distance.
"Qin Feng?!" she exclaimed with immense joy.
"The captain is back!"
Many people were moved to tears.
The family of three was startled.
They turned to look behind them.
Reinforcements?
The three of them were only just barely a match for Xiao Ruoruo's group.
If reinforcements appeared, they would be no match at all.
In the distance.
Qin Feng and his group had just returned.
Their timing couldn't have been more perfect.
"Damn it! They're tired of living!" Zhou Haiyang drew his saber and charged forward.
"What are you doing?!"
Qin Feng grabbed him and coldly barked, "Did I tell you to attack?"
"Captain..."
Zhou Haiyang was completely bewildered.
The enemy had attacked their home, Xiao Ruoruo was on the verge of collapse, and they had just returned. Should they…
Not intervene to save them?
Was he joking?
"You guys keep fighting, it's none of my business."
Qin Feng smiled and waved at the family of three, who were now on high alert.
Then, he looked at Xiao Ruoruo and said coldly, "The drawbridge was lowered? That's good."
"Adults can make decisions and should bear the consequences."
He immediately noticed the lowered drawbridge.
He knew he had been tricked.
What?!
Everyone was shocked.
He, he wasn't going to help, intending to let everyone be killed?
"Captain!" Zhou Haiyang was frantic.
"Say one more word, and don't blame me for turning hostile," Qin Feng said coldly, looking at him.
"I..."
"Caw caw!"
Even the bird-lord couldn't help but chime in.
Most people in the air-raid shelter didn't care; it wouldn't matter if they died.
But!
Xiao Ruoruo had come this far with it!
"Call again, and I'll eat you for dinner!" Qin Feng glared at it.
"No..."
Han Ling's face was ashen, and she immediately rushed forward: "Xiaoxiao is inside, she..."
*Bang!*
Qin Feng struck her nape with a hand chop.
She directly fainted.
"Xia'er is also inside..." Wang Shouli gritted his teeth.
"Jiang Xia is not in charge; she didn't let them in."
Qin Feng glanced at him. "I guarantee she'll be fine, but if you dare to go, I will kill you."
Wang Shouli was stunned.
Even if Qin Feng guaranteed his wife would survive.
But what about the others…
Were they all supposed to die?
Seeing that Qin Feng truly wouldn't act, the family of three immediately relaxed and attacked with full force.
"Qin Feng!"
Xiao Ruoruo was stunned, then shouted, "I'm in charge here, I ordered the drawbridge to be lowered!"
"If you want to kill, kill me, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"No... it was me! Brother Qin, it was I who told Sister Ruoruo that this family was very pitiful..." He Jiajia cried, tears streaming down her face.
"And me! I also advised Sister Ruoruo to give them food!" Han Xiao shouted.
"I..."
He Dong was filled with regret now.
He had a part in it too!
It was because they persuaded her that Xiao Ruoruo had softened her heart and lowered the drawbridge.
"No need to argue."
Qin Feng smiled faintly. "Since you all have a part, you'll face it together."
"Either, defeat the enemy."
"Or, dying at the hands of the enemy is also deserved."
...
Da Xia Live Broadcast Room.
For a long time, the evaluations of Qin Feng had all been positive.
Now.
A large number of doubts appeared.
Some even cursed!
— 'What's up with Brother Feng? He used to have a reason for killing people, but this time...'
— 'He's a bloodthirsty killer at heart!'
— 'That's Xiao Ruoruo! He slept with her but is abandoning her to die?!'
— 'He slept with her and then denied responsibility!'
— 'He watched his own people get killed when he could easily defeat this family of three? Is he crazy!'
Negative comments.
Even curses continued to pour in.
