Chapter 121: A Father’s Request

When she heard Jin Xuyan's words, Jiao Lizhi replied with a smile, "I'm checking if you are injured. That old man suddenly attacked us just now. Fortunately, you reacted quickly and killed him before he could harm us. Brother Yan, you are amazing!"

Hearing her words, Jin Xuyan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Ah Zhi, you don't blame me?"

"Why should I blame you?" she asked.

"I killed a civilian."

Tilting her head to the side, Jiao Lizhi replied, "But he attacked us. That means he had bad intentions and put himself in the position of our enemy. What's wrong with killing someone who wanted to kill us? We were just protecting ourselves."

When Jin Xuyan heard this, the corner of his lips lifted slightly. He nodded and said softly, "Ah Zhi is right."

After confirming that he had fully returned to normal, Jiao Lizhi turned to look at the group of people and asked, "Who are you, and why did that old man attack us?"

The group of men was afraid that they would become the next Director Yang and quickly explained. But with so many people talking at the same time, Jiao Lizhi couldn't hear their words clearly.

Feeling annoyed, she said, "Stop!"

As soon as they heard this, no one dared to open their mouths.

Rubbing her aching temple, Jiao Lizhi pointed at a young man and said, "You, explain."

Being pointed at, the young man's pale face turned paler. He didn't dare to hesitate and quickly said, "S-sister, the one attacking you is Director Yang. We didn't have any intention of attacking you or your friend."

"We are factory workers and were forced by Director Yang to follow his command, or we would be killed. Sister, we only want to survive. We don't want to harm anyone."

Jiao Lizhi looked at the group and asked, "Are all the workers in this factory men?"

The young man shook his head and said, "The women workers are locked in the cafeteria and guarded by Director Yang's people. We were tasked with carrying supplies back to the cafeteria."

After he said these words, another man suddenly added, "If something bad happens, we will become bait to lure the zombies away."

When Jiao Lizhi heard this, her eyes turned cold. She, too, had been zombie bait in her past life before she barely escaped with her life. So, she understood the terror of the so-called bait.

She clenched her fists and said, "That old man indeed deserves to die."

Seeing that the two of them didn't have any intention of killing them, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out from behind the group and knelt beside Jiao Lizhi.

He kowtowed heavily while saying, "Comrade, I beg you, please save my daughter."

Jiao Lizhi was startled and quickly stepped aside to avoid his kowtow while saying, "Stand up and talk."

The middle-aged man stopped kowtowing but didn't stand up. He didn't even wipe away the blood on his forehead as he said, "Comrade, my daughter is locked up by Director Yang and his men. I beg you, please save her life."

Seeing how he was crying, Jiao Lizhi looked at Jin Xuyan and saw him nod.

She pulled the middle-aged man up and said, "All of you, get up and wait here for a moment."

Everyone nodded and stood up one after another. They saw Jin Xuyan melt the lock and stand guard there while Jiao Lizhi entered the warehouse.

They didn't know what she was doing inside, but after ten minutes, she came out and closed the door. They did the same thing for the rest of the warehouses.

An hour later, the middle-aged man led them to the cafeteria. There were several cafeterias in the factory, and the one taken over by Director Yang and his men was the one near the Area D warehouse.

Twenty minutes later, the middle-aged man pointed at the two-story building and said, "Comrade, that's the cafeteria. My daughter and the other women are locked up on the second floor."

Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "I will go inside with my friend. You all wait here and don't make a sound. If you dare do anything against me and my friend, you will end up like that old man. Do you understand?"

When they heard her warning, the group of men quickly nodded and said, "We wouldn't dare."

Jin Xuyan glanced at them coldly and said, "You better be."

After they left, the group of men finally let out a sigh of relief. A young man looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle Chen, your daughter is already—why are you still asking them to save her?"

Uncle Chen's eyes turned bloodshot as he said through gritted teeth, "No matter what it takes, I will make sure those beasts die a gruesome death for torturing my daughter to death!"

Seeing the hatred in his eyes, the young men only sighed and didn't try to persuade him.

Not far from them, Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan heard their conversation. They deliberately walked slowly to see what they were up to.

They thought that they might lay a trap for them. Unexpectedly, it was a father who wanted to avenge his daughter's death.

Since there was no trap waiting for them, the two of them hastened their steps and went to check the situation inside the cafeteria from the window.

The cafeteria's design was similar to Lin'an University's cafeteria. After confirming that Director Yang's men only patrolled the second floor and the front hall, they sneaked into the building using the back door connected to the pantry and warehouse.

As they walked past the cold storage room, Jiao Lizhi pulled at Jin Xuyan's hand and said, "Brother Yan, let's check the storage first."

Jin Xuyan nodded and held the handle. A few seconds later, the handle melted, and the room was unlocked. When they felt the cold air blowing from inside, the two of them smiled.
