Chapter 65 Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

Between the towering mountains and steep cliffs, tombstones stand quietly, telling the vicissitudes of time.

At this moment, these ordinary workers were waving shovels and hoes and digging hard.

Following the orders from the security fortress, they must dig up these tombstones without mercy, because the family members have long since disappeared. There is no need to consider feelings, only focus on efficiency.

The shovels and hoes hit the tombstone hard, making a dull sound. The tombstone was smashed to pieces by the workers' efforts and then thrown away mercilessly.

After a morning of hard work, they had dug a large hole. The soil was chilling, and even thick shoes were hard to resist.

Originally, the sunlight from the sky was hot and dazzling. When I just started working, the sunlight fell on my body as if it would burn me to a crisp.

But now, as the excavation goes deeper, the workers can no longer feel the warmth of the sun. Instead, they feel chilly all around with a cold wind blowing.

Suddenly, there was a rapid flapping sound of wings in the distance, and a deformed being with wings on its back flew over in a hurry.

He shouted breathlessly: "Miss, it's bad!"

Yan Mengting and Song Zimei's faces changed at the same time. They recognized this mutant as the one who stayed in the safe fortress.

Seeing him sweating and panting, the two of them suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

The Aberrant fell from the sky. Due to the long journey, he staggered when his feet first landed and almost fell.

He quickly flapped his wings to steady himself, and then said anxiously: "The headquarters of the Security Fortress... the Security Fortress has been captured!"

Upon hearing the news, Song Zimei was shocked and angry. She guessed some of the truth before she finished speaking.

Today, she and the eldest daughter Yan Mengting deployed many experts in this mountain range and invited three evil gods from the neighboring city. The purpose was to lure Su Jing and the Red Moon Organization to come and capture them in one fell swoop.

But after working for a whole morning, there was no sign of Su Jing and the Red Moon Organization.

Now, suddenly hearing the news that the safe fortress had been captured, Song Zimei immediately thought of Su Jing.

She guessed that Su Jing might have seen through their plan and did not come here, but turned around and attacked the safe fortress.

The safe fortress is now just an empty shell and is completely unable to resist Su Jing.

Thinking of this, Song Zimei felt a chill coming over her, her whole body turned cold and her face turned pale.

She knew Su Jing's strength very well, and the safe fortress would definitely not be spared from his attack.

Yan Mengting asked coldly, "Why did you come here instead of calling or messaging me?"

Her voice revealed dissatisfaction and blame towards the Deviants.

In critical moments, any delay in information may cause irreversible consequences!
Even Yan Mengting, who was always suspicious, began to wonder whether there was a traitor in the safe fortress who was secretly colluding with the Red Moon Organization and Su Jing.

This doubt was like a cold snake, slowly crawling in her heart, making her feel uneasy.

"Miss, as soon as we found the enemy in the safe fortress, we immediately tried to contact you using various communication methods, but the signal could not be sent out."

The winged deformer wiped the sweat from his face and explained to Yan Mengting helplessly.

"With the advent of the Age of Disaster, although the network signal in the urban area has not been greatly affected, in remote places like this, the communication facilities have long been destroyed. In addition, no one has come to repair them, so our mobile phones and tablets naturally cannot receive any information."

As Song Zimei spoke, she checked her equipment and confirmed that the signal was indeed so weak that it was almost undetectable. Upon hearing this, Yan Mengting turned around and walked out of the mountains without saying anything more.

Her steps were firm and quick, as if driven by an invisible force.

Seeing this, Song Zimei immediately began to arrange manpower. Soon after, three burly figures in long robes walked out of the woods. They had expressionless faces and followed Yan Mengting out without saying a word.

"Leave some people behind to continue digging."

Yan Mengting stopped after walking a distance, turned around and said to Song Zimei.

Although her voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Song Zimei nodded in agreement, and then arranged for some deformed people and ordinary workers to continue to stay here and carry out the construction.

The workers groaned. They thought they could end this hard work because of the unexpected incident, but they didn't expect that they would have to continue working.

What made them even more anxious was that some of their relatives were still in the safe fortress, which was now attacked by Su Jing and his men from the Red Moon Organization. They didn't know whether their family members were safe.

However, Yan Mengting did not tell them to go back, and they did not dare to act on their own. They could only keep their heads down and continue working.

The atmosphere, which originally had some laughter and joy, now became extremely depressing.

About half an hour later, several people strolled out of the woods leisurely.

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

More than a dozen mutants quickly gathered around. One of them pointed at one of the men and said tremblingly, "You...you are Su Jing? The boss of the Red Moon Organization?"

Upon hearing this, Su Jing nodded with a smile and acknowledged his identity.

There was a hint of amusement and sarcasm in the smile.

When the ordinary workers saw this, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They dropped their hoes and shovels and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

They knew the reputation of the Red Moon Organization and Su Jing, and were afraid that they would become the victims of the other party.

However, some of them still mustered up the courage to ask, "Boss Su, my family members are all ordinary people, and they have not been deformed. I just heard that Boss Su led his men into the safe fortress. I wonder how my ordinary family members are doing now?"

Su Jing glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't worry, I didn't hurt any ordinary people." His voice was calm and firm, which made people convinced.

In fact, there have always been deformed members of the Red Moon Organization secretly watching here. They lurk in the distance, closely watching every move here.

Su Jing had long anticipated that once he led the people from the Red Moon Organization into the safe fortress, the news would soon reach Yan Mengting's ears.

At that time, Yan Mengting will definitely bring people back to defend.

Su Jing would take the opportunity to loot the safe fortress, and then rush here with his elite troops without stopping.

In this way, he could kill two birds with one stone, obtaining the wealth and resources of the safe fortress while solving the troubles here.

Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?
