Shen Feng's expression was grim. He stood up and walked towards the door without a word, closing the bedroom door behind him with a flick of his wrist. Clearly, he didn't want the child to witness any bloodshed.
He then proceeded to the main door, flung it open, and saw several figures outside. They all had shifty, furtive looks and were peering into the room. Upon seeing them, Shen Feng didn't bother with pleasantries. With a slight frown, he swung his arm, unleashing several wind blades. In an instant, everyone outside the room lay dead.
These suitors seemed to have come well-prepared. Not only did they bring numerous precious gifts, but they also brought musicians. As they approached, they played their instruments, creating a lively atmosphere.
An unknown number of people witnessed this scene. The children, walking along, cheered incessantly. The children only knew one thing: when someone got married, there would usually be candy thrown, and they would get to eat. Most adults wouldn't stoop to picking up candy, but children didn't care. As long as there was candy to eat, whether it was on a table or on the ground, they wouldn't mind.
However, the moment the door opened, the group of wedding attendants collapsed onto the ground. Many were decapitated, their blood flowing freely.
Where had the children ever seen such a shocking sight? They had only wanted to follow the wedding procession to see if there would be candy. But now, seeing so many people killed and their bodies lying on the ground, they were stunned into silence.
"Ah... murder..." The children, seeing people fall to the ground, immediately screamed and fled, their faces filled with terror.
Shen Feng had no intention of harming these children. They were too young to understand anything. If they wanted to leave, they should leave quickly. This would also teach them that not all spectacles are worth watching, as they could easily get hurt.
The group of suitors consisted of over twenty people, most of whom were carrying gifts. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Shen Feng had killed all but one. The wedding procession scattered and fled. The once lively and musical procession had become desolate. People on the surrounding streets, witnessing this, quickly closed their doors and windows, not daring to peek out.
Shen Feng slowly walked towards the survivor. All his companions beside him had been killed. Now, he lay in a pool of blood, his trembling arm revealing warm liquid flowing from beneath him.
"City Lord... why would you do this?" The survivor, recognizing Shen Feng, froze. He hadn't expected the person emerging from the room to be Fengshen. How could Fengshen be in South City?
"Why would I do this? Aren't you the ones forcing my hand? I heard your leader is someone who likes to exploit the vulnerable. Today, I'm here to teach him how to behave. Furthermore, your mistake was following the wrong person!" Shen Feng said calmly.
"City Lord, please spare me. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. My entire family depends on me for survival. I cannot die here!" the survivor pleaded, begging for Shen Feng's forgiveness.
Shen Feng pointed to the house behind him and said, "I don't care about your family situation. The family in this house has a nine-year-old child and elderly parents in their fifties and sixties. There's also a woman inside who has fainted. You are taking advantage of their misfortune, and that is how you destroy a family!"
"We didn't want to do this. We were forced by others. Please believe us! It was Zhu Mingnu who made us do this. He ordered us to propose, and if they refused, to simply snatch the people, especially the unconscious woman!" The survivor quickly shifted all the blame to his leader.
Shen Feng said slowly, "You will take me to him later. For now, I need to make a phone call!"
Shen Feng then took out his phone and called Qi Lingshan. "I have an important matter that requires your attention. Remember this: quickly bring your people to South City to protect a family and escort them back to the city. There must be no danger during this process, or I will hold you responsible!"
Qi Lingshan was surprised to receive such a task. He immediately replied, "I'll bring my people over right away. Is there anything special about this family? Why does the City Lord himself need to give these instructions?"
"Don't pry into this matter. I will inform you if an announcement is to be made later. However, I can reveal a little: the little girl here is my illegitimate daughter!" Shen Feng said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Qi Lingshan understood everything. This piece of information was enough for him to deduce the entire situation.
"Understood. I will handle this flawlessly. Should I find a room for them to stay in first?" Qi Lingshan then asked.
"Handle it as you see fit. Just don't neglect this family. Do you understand?" Shen Feng said calmly.
Qi Lingshan agreed and, half an hour later, arrived with sufficient personnel, all important members of the intelligence division. Many were evolved individuals, carrying numerous weapons, and capable of participating in combat when necessary.
Seeing these people arrive, Shen Feng felt relieved. He then whispered to Qi Lingshan, "I'll give you a few strands of hair. Also, collect the little girl's hair and perform a paternity test. Do you understand? This matter must not be revealed to anyone, nor should anyone suspect anything."
Qi Lingshan understood perfectly. The City Lord's words implied that he himself was unsure if the little girl was his daughter, hence the need for a paternity test. However, he didn't want anyone to know, so this task required extreme caution and secrecy.
"Leave it to me. I will handle this properly and ensure no one finds out!" Qi Lingshan replied in a low voice.
Shen Feng then turned to the survivor and said, "Hurry and take me to your stronghold. Preferably, find your leader. If he escapes, I will be very angry!"
Qi Lingshan couldn't help but ask, "City Lord, aren't you coming back with us?"
"There are still a few scumbags I need to deal with. I'm in a bad mood right now. After I've dealt with these scumbags, my mood will likely improve," Shen Feng said calmly.
What Shen Feng valued most was his family. Especially after learning that Yu Hongxiu was his daughter, Shen Feng became even more enraged. To be precise, his wife and child had been bullied by others. If he remained calm, it would be impossible. To resolve this matter completely, the first step was to control the source of the evil.
The surviving suitor immediately turned and led Shen Feng away, preparing to find his leader in South City and exchange this for his chance at survival.
What happened in South City had already spread. In the apocalypse, news traveled incredibly fast. Any kind of news could reach far-off places in an instant, especially since South City had signal base stations, making it easy to make phone calls.
The news of Shen Feng's appearance in South City quickly spread. Many people quietly closed their doors, but they were very curious about why Shen Feng had come to South City. Thus, they hid behind their windows, watching the streets, eager to catch a glimpse of Shen Feng.
Led by a minor subordinate, Shen Feng soon arrived at their stronghold. According to the subordinate: "This place was originally chosen as our headquarters by our eldest sister. During our peak, thousands of people worked here. Whether it was hunting or growing food, it was all done under her command. Later, that scoundrel Zhu Mingnu drove away the other management personnel and, with his trusted subordinates, ran amok here, even wanting to marry our eldest sister!"
Shen Feng looked at the building. It was a massive structure. Without significant influence, it would be impossible to occupy. He then slowly put on a mask.
"Since you've completed your task, you may leave. For leading me here, I won't kill you today. However, everyone inside this building will not survive!" Shen Feng said calmly. With that, he walked in, a gentle breeze swirling around him, countless wind blades condensing. Ordinary people simply couldn't see them.
Wind blades were formless and invisible, so ordinary individuals couldn't perceive them, much like air, which has no color or smell.
As Shen Feng entered, he was quickly met with resistance. The individuals immediately shouted, "Who are you? This is not a place you can come to!"
"Pfft," "Pfft"... Shen Feng paid them no mind, continuing to walk forward. However, the wind blades in the air had already shot out, piercing the bodies of one person after another.
The guards outside the building were stunned. They hadn't expected this person to kill so many defenders upon arrival. The remaining guards quickly grabbed their firearms and began shooting, trying to stop him from approaching, preferably killing him. However, as they fired, their bullets seemed to hit a wall, causing no damage.
"Clang, clang..." Bullets were fired continuously, but upon reaching Shen Feng, they struck an invisible barrier, making collision sounds before falling to the ground. Shen Feng continued to walk unhurriedly, his hand gently waving, sending countless wind blades piercing through the people outside the building.
"Quickly sound the alarm! Someone has broken into our headquarters! We must resist, or we will all be killed! This is an ability user!" someone shouted loudly to those behind them before dying. Subsequently, someone activated the alarm, and the entire building was alerted. People rushed down.
Shen Feng continued to walk unhurriedly. Where he passed, no one was left alive. Anyone who dared to shoot at him was instantly decapitated.
"Not a single person is left standing. It seems this so-called organization is entirely propped up by Yu Ren Shu," Shen Feng said calmly.
Earlier, Shen Feng had assumed that since Yu Ren Shu had founded the organization, its combat power would be higher. However, upon arriving here, he discovered that the opposing side possessed no formidable strength at all. In combat, they relied solely on their firearms, and there wasn't even a single person skilled in close-quarters combat.
As Shen Feng entered the building, he killed his way through. In his eyes, these people had no reason to continue existing, as they were all accomplices who bullied the elderly and children, and now they were even assisting someone in exploiting the vulnerable.
In just a few minutes, the building was stained with blood. The blood of countless people flowed on the ground, forming a small stream that flowed into the street.
The people in the vicinity dared not approach. They knew that even if someone committed murder in South City, no one would intervene. After all, South City lacked even the most basic law enforcement, leading to this situation.
