Chapter 049 Retribution
Chapter 049 Retribution
What kind of good person is Xu Xin?
When Meng Shisan heard her say that, even though she really was Er Er's biological mother, Meng Shisan didn't have a good impression of her.
"Baozi, time to get to work."
Given the special relationship between Xu Ting and Er Er, Meng Shisan didn't let his guard down. Don't forget, he still had Baozi as his trump card.
"Wow, this woman is quite a character," Baozi said with a look of surprise. "You might not believe it, but she knows almost everything that happened to that little girl."
Even the idea of using Er'er as Liu Jiajia's abnormal blood pack was hers.
This woman...it's hard to say."
After hearing what Baozi said, Meng Shisan clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
"You call this a bad review? Even tigers don't eat their cubs, this guy doesn't even deserve to be called a human being!"
He was truly furious. How dare this woman come back to ask for her child now?
"But she wasn't doing it for herself," Baozi said. "She genuinely believed that sacrificing a portion of the population could buy more time for human civilization."
For this, she was willing to sacrifice her own child…
"Why didn't she sacrifice herself?" Meng Shisan was speechless.
What does human civilization have to do with a child?
"How do you know she doesn't?" Baozi said. "To be honest, that's what makes her hard to judge."
You might not understand what I'm about to tell you, but she also lost all her own organs... However, at the time, it wasn't for transplantation to anyone; it was simply for the medical center to take them for research.
Sigh, this woman…
Baozi sighed again. From His perspective, this woman may indeed have various problems, but His ideals are pure, His goals are great, and even His soul is clean.
In His view, this woman had done right by everyone except her own child, including Meng Shisan.
At this moment, Meng Shisan was also stunned.
Are the Xu sisters all crazy?
On what grounds should you persecute your own loved ones for the sake of your dreams?
Why should I?!
"Then what is the purpose of her trip?" Meng Shisan didn't want to understand their lofty ideals, so he asked directly.
Baozi said, "Yes, they were ordered by Liu Jiaming to bring Er'er back."
"Take her back? Take her where?" Meng Shisan asked, puzzled. "The bunker is currently sealed off by us. Does she think I can take Er'er back to the bunker?"
That's incredibly naive!
"Who said they went to the bunker?" Baozi explained. "These people didn't come from the bunker. And let me tell you, Liu Jiaming and his guys have really been busy these past few years."
Over the years, a small bunker had been built outside the base, and these people basically lived in that small bunker.
They were probably afraid their identities would be exposed.
"A small bunker? Them?" Meng Shisan immediately grasped two key questions. "It means there are quite a few of them, and where are they all?"
After working for a while, Baozi continued, "There are about two or three hundred people. Apart from a few dozen hiding nearby, there are more than a hundred people carrying out missions in various parts of the wasteland, and the rest are resting in the bunker."
Upon hearing what Baozi said, Meng Shisan immediately turned his head to look into the distance.
Looking around, only a few small hills seemed most likely to be hiding people, so they immediately scanned back and forth among those hills.
"Why do I have a feeling that guy knew we were here, and that's why he was looking over here on purpose?" The young man who had just been trying to dissuade Liu Jiajia from behind the hill immediately pulled his head back, patting his chest lightly as he said anxiously.
"You're overthinking it, aren't you?" Liu Jiajia, who also shrank back when she saw Meng Shisan looking this way, looked incredulous. "He's probably checking if there's anyone behind Sister Ting."
"No, Jiajia," another person said. "He really seems to be watching us. Should we retreat first? That guy is a madman. He could blow up the base at any time. If he knew we were here, he might really fight us to the death."
"What about Sister Ting?" Liu Jiajia hesitated for a moment.
"Aren't they here?" the man said, glancing at the fully armed men protecting them.
Her words only made things worse; Liu Jiajia slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "That's right! With them here, what's there to be afraid of? Let's wait a little longer!"
As she spoke, she turned over again and cautiously poked her head out with the binoculars in hand.
"Right there!" Meng Shisan said, pointing in a direction, and was about to speak when Xu Ting, who had been slumped on the ground wiping away tears, immediately scrambled to her feet, sobbing uncontrollably, and said, "Give me back my child!"
Those who don't know her would really think she's a pitiful mother who has lost her child.
But Meng Shisan wasn't having any of it. Seeing that she was about to grab it, he covered Er'er's head in his arms with one hand and then kicked her to the ground.
"Damn it, I almost forgot about you, Lu Ping, tie him up!"
Lu Ping was also stunned.
Isn't this Er'er's biological mother?
"Are you in cahoots with her?" Seeing Lu Ping at a loss, Meng Shisan's tone suddenly turned cold.
"Lu Ping, execute the order!" Just as Lu Ping's mind went blank, Xie Linyuan's urgent voice came through the communicator.
At this moment, Lu Ping seemed to wake up from a dream, quickly stepped forward to subdue Xu Ting, and used the rope that had bound her earlier again.
The sniper next to him immediately pointed his gun at Xu Ting's head.
"Meng Shisan, you child trafficker, what right do you have to kidnap my child? The child is mine! Mine!" Xu Ting struggled desperately, shouting at Meng Shisan as she struggled.
Meng Shisan ignored her and walked to the base vehicle, speaking into the communicator, "Xie Linbo, how far are you from my location right now?"
"Less than 800 meters." Xie Linbo's voice immediately came through the communicator.
"Quickly move closer to me. The rest of you, stay put and get into defensive position. Those scum from the base are coming."
There were dozens of people, about 500 meters away in my direction, around one o'clock.
Upon hearing this, Xie Linbo immediately said, "I knew someone was spying on me. It turns out it was this bunch of scum from the base. Alright, I'm coming right now."
On the ground, Xu Ting was stunned when Meng Shisan pointed out Liu Jiajia and the others' hiding place with just one sentence.
If she had only noticed that Liu Jiajia and the others were hiding there, she could understand it, since she had just seen Meng Shisan looking in that direction.
This led to her second attempt to snatch the child, her purpose being to disrupt Meng Shisan.
But she couldn't understand why this guy knew how many people were hiding over there.
Did the base betray us?
Or is there a traitor among us?
Xu Ting had no choice but to think in this direction.
Meng Shisan had no time to care what she thought. After receiving Xie Linbo's reply, he said, "Yan Zhiyu, immediately send someone to inform Yang Jiu and the others to calm the children down for now and be ready for battle at any time."
"Should we send the child back first?" Yan Zhiyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "After all, if a fight breaks out, the child could easily be injured at this distance."
More importantly, if it's an arrangement by the base, then the pioneers will definitely be their primary targets.
At this distance, for a skilled sniper, it's already within sniping range.
"I know, but if the children are evacuated now, what about the tens of thousands of ordinary people who just left the base? Should they be evacuated as well?"
Even if you don't say it, what do you think they will do when they see so many pioneers sending their children back?
Will they blindly retreat to base like they did just before?
Yes, don't doubt it. What happened not long ago has proven everything.
If they panic, and those people seize the opportunity to attack, the situation will only become more chaotic once the battle begins.
What I need to do now is to keep everyone calm, and then I'll lead my men around to the back and take control of the situation without firing a single shot.
As for the enemy snipers, if they wanted to make a move, they would have done so already.
After all, I'm right here, but the fact that they haven't made a move while I'm here only suggests that their purpose this time might not be so simple.
As for their purpose, we'll find out once we capture them.
Meng Shisan already knew what these guys' purpose was.
After all, Baozi's social circle is truly unparalleled.
This is why he dared to formulate such a plan.
"How confident are you in capturing them alive?" Xie Linyuan asked. "What I mean is, if we're confident, we can spread the word."
It's not just for the people behind us, but also for the guys in the bunker.
The base commander is probably listening to our conversation in the information center right now, wondering how to notify his men.
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots!" Inside the bunker, the base commander slammed his fist on the control panel in the information center, and after a long pause, asked, "Is there any way to notify the Arctic Squad?"
The director of the information center shook his head in despair: "The base vehicle's communicator was turned off before they took action, otherwise Yan Zhiyu and his group would have detected them long ago, even though they were within 30 miles of the base."
"No, how exactly were these guys exposed?" the base commander roared in fury. "I didn't hear anything unusual from here."
How did Meng Shisan know their exact location and number of people?
As he said this, he looked at the people in the information center, and had the same guess as Xu Ting in his mind.
Has a traitor appeared?
Otherwise, he would never have been able to understand any of this.
"The question now is whether we need to send someone to rescue them," the information center director said. "Given Meng Shisan's methods, he is capable of doing it."
After all, Jiajia is still inside.
The base commander's face was extremely grim.
Liu Jiajia is his own daughter, and he has invested so much in her. If she were to fall into Meng Shisan's hands now, it would be such a huge loss.
"Base Commander, how about we talk?" Just then, Meng Shisan's voice came from the information center.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
"Xie Linyuan, you see, you've got it wrong. How could the base commander possibly eavesdrop?" Meng Shisan immediately joked.
Upon hearing this, Xie Linyuan laughed: "Indeed, even that bastard Xie Linbo only eavesdrops when he's young and ignorant. The base commander wouldn't be so shameless."
The two bantered back and forth, causing Liu Jiaming, who was in the information center, to blush and turn pale in turns.
Even so, he never uttered a single word in the channel from beginning to end.
Only after Xie Linbo arrived did Meng Shisan say to Lu Ping, "You guys continue to keep watch. I'm taking the man back to base."
Since those guys already know Xu Ting's purpose, bringing her back to the base is the most reasonable thing to do right now.
As for being impolite to her, that's understandable. After all, in everyone's eyes, Meng Shisan is a madman. How can a madman's actions be judged by common sense?
"Isn't she Er'er's biological mother?" Lu Ping, who hadn't had a chance to ask this question until Meng Shisan was about to leave, finally seized the opportunity to ask.
"Yes." Meng Shisan nodded decisively before saying, "But so what? Who says a mother can hurt her own child?"
Even tigers don't eat their cubs; she's worse than an animal!
She bears at least half the responsibility for the suffering Er'er endured!
Hearing Meng Shisan say this, Lu Ping finally understood where Meng Shisan's anger came from, and immediately kicked Xu Ting in the butt.
They do feel a deep sense of guilt towards Er Er, but it's only towards Er Er.
In other words, even if Meng Shisan dared to harm Er Er, they wouldn't allow it.
"You actually believed in a human trafficker!" Xu Ting immediately burst into tears, lying on the ground and wailing, "How could a mother hurt her own child?"
Who does he think he is? Whatever he says goes.
Er Er is a piece of my flesh and blood, how could I bear to hurt her?
Er'er, my Er'er...
I'm so sorry, Mom!
I failed to protect you, and let this heartless bastard take you away from your mother.
Meng Shisan, I curse you, I curse you to die a horrible death! I curse you…”
"My daddy won't die!" Just as Xu Ting was cursing her heart out, Er'er, who had been clinging to Meng Shisan's arms, suddenly turned around and shouted, her face streaked with tears, "You bad person, you're a bad person, I'll beat you to death, I'm going to beat you to death..."
Xu Ting, who was lying on the ground preparing to continue playing the role of a heartbroken mother, was suddenly stunned.
To be honest, she can still act, even now, and she even rehearsed this situation in her mind beforehand.
After all, she and Er Er had no emotional foundation, and she was prepared for Er Er to disown her.
But when she heard Er Er say, "I'll beat you to death, I'm going to beat you to death,"
She was completely stunned.
Is this my own daughter?
My own daughter wants to kill me...
And the reason was simply because I insulted a stranger?
Er'er's words made her feel more desperate than any other person's most vicious words.
"Alright, Er'er, don't cry anymore, let's ignore her." Seeing Er'er's heartbroken appearance, Meng Shisan quickly buried Er'er's little face in his arms.
He could sense that Er'er was sobbing, and he knew that this little girl probably understood everything.
Shaking his head, Meng Shisan then looked at Xu Ting and said, "This is the retribution for your sins."
"How did you know?" This time, Xu Ting didn't try to deny it or struggle anymore. She just looked at Er'er with tears in her eyes.
