Xiao Feng glanced down at the little girl, her fair and pretty face nestled against his chest, with a trace of drool at the corner of her mouth. Her adorable and lovely appearance made one want to pinch her cheek or tweak her nose.

Xiao Feng tried to put her down, but the harder he pushed, the tighter she clung, as if determined not to let go.

Helpless, Xiao Feng had to start prying her hands off.

The little girl's brow furrowed and she seemed slightly annoyed, "Stop it, can't you just let me have a good sleep!"

"..." Xiao Feng chuckled silently, this little girl has quite a temper.

Fujiwara Keiaki turned his head to the side, as if indignant on behalf of his lady, or annoyed at Xiao Feng's obliviousness.

But despite everything, he gathered his nerves because the once faint footsteps seemed to be getting closer...

At this moment, Xiao Feng finally managed to "dismantle" the little girl from himself. After settling her down, he pointed the flashlight ahead.

About half a minute later, a surprised voice shouted, "Help! Help.Me!"

Xiao Feng and Fujiwara Keiaki exchanged a glance, confirming they hadn't misheard those footsteps.

Neither expected that the one running from the front would be a foreigner.

Before long, the owner of the voice came into view.

A foreign man, appearing to be in his thirties, with a scraggly beard, deep-set eyes, and tattered clothing. His exposed hands were grimy, unrecognizable in color, greasy.

Awoken by the commotion, everyone stirred. The little girl wiped drool from the corner of her mouth, groggily asking, "What happened?"

Seeing the unexpected appearance of the foreigner, she immediately became alert, her sleepiness mostly dissipated.

At this moment, the blond man seemed frantic, shielding his eyes from the glaring light as he strode towards Xiao Feng, and snarled, "Food, water, give it to me, hurry!"

"Bang!"

Xiao Feng raised a leg and swiftly kicked him away.

Acting like a big shot at a time like this—utterly oblivious to danger!

"Ah!" the blond man cried out, on the verge of cursing, but it seemed that kick had intimidated him, softening his tone immediately.

"Water, food, I plead for your help."

The man spoke awkward Huaxia; though his tone seemed polite, his demeanor was anything but, still seemingly feeling superior.

"Helping you is possible, but first answer a few questions," Xiao Feng said coolly.

"Bastard! Give me what I need first!" The man got up angrily, charging at Xiao Feng again.

This time, Xiao Feng didn't need to act, as the little girl lashed out with a whip.

"Snap!"

The crisp sound echoed, and the man knelt on one knee, clutching his leg and wailing on the ground: "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The little girl said coldly: "If you're asking for help, act like you need it. Dare to speak rudely again, and I guarantee you'll never speak another word in your life."

The man might not understand "speak rudely," but he surely comprehended the subsequent threat.

Never speaking again could mean being silenced for good or having his tongue cut out.

Whichever, were unacceptable options for him.

Thinking this, he decided against confronting Xiao Feng and the others head-on. For one, they outnumbered him, and secondly, he was too hungry and thirsty to exert his full strength.

"You can call me Darcy, I... I apologize for the previous offense. Please give me the water and food I need."

Introducing himself as Darcy, the man lowered his head, speaking through gritted teeth.

Xiao Feng sneered inwardly, he didn't need to look to guess the expression in the other's eyes at that moment.

"Water and food are no problem," Xiao Feng readily agreed.

He then opened a bottle of mineral water, poured out a capful, and handed it over.

"You!" Darcy stared furiously at Xiao Feng, feeling an unspeakable humiliation.

But thirst was unbearable, cautiously accepting the cap, as if cradling a newborn, fearing spilling even a drop.

"Sss..."

Like drinking liquor, Darcy consumed the water from the cap, licking it obsessively, as if wanting to swallow the lid.

Lu Yao and the others watched this scene, their faces filled with disdain.

Darcy cupped the cap in his hands, beseeching, "Could I have a little more?"

Instead, Xiao Feng handed the bottle to Zhao Guo'an, and then took out a package of compressed beef jerky, tearing off a tiny strand, teasingly offering it to Darcy.

"..." Darcy.

He was sure this Huaxia man was deliberately mocking him.

He desperately wanted to punch this damned bastard, but his body seemed uncontrollable.

Stretching out his hand, he took the pitiful strand of beef, putting it in his mouth, not daring to immediately swallow but savoring it finely.

Darcy's face showed a mesmerized expression, closing his eyes, feeling as though he was reborn.

Yet, after tasting water and food, the craving grew stronger, akin to a smoker seeing someone light up a cigarette, or a lustful person, seeing a naked woman in front of him—the more controlled, the less bearable!

"With being well-fed and quenched, it's about time to answer my questions, isn't it?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Darcy's facial muscles twitched twice uncontrollably.

His teammates were equally dumbfounded, a capful of water and a thin strand of meat—was that enough to be full and satisfied as a human?

"What do you want to know?" Darcy asked eagerly, "I need to trade for water and food."

"That's easy enough," Xiao Feng nodded in agreement, asking, "How many of you are there?"

Without hesitation, Darcy replied, "Counting me, there are twenty-eight altogether."

After speaking, he handed the cap back.

Xiao Feng immediately showed a disgusted expression, "Put it on the ground and I'll pour for you."

He certainly hadn't forgotten the way Darcy licked the cap, just thinking about it made him nauseous.

Darcy obediently placed the cap on the ground, smacking his lips repeatedly, like a gourmet seeing delicious food, wanting impatiently to feast.

Of course, given the portion Xiao Feng offered, feasting wasn't really possible—merely savoring slowly.

Receiving the bottle of mineral water from Zhao Guo'an, Xiao Feng shone the flashlight on it, frowned and said, "Why does it look yellowish, did you pee in it?"

Zhao Guo'an retorted irritably, "How can you see it's yellow, talking nonsense with your eyes wide open."

"You definitely peed in it, I know you have this quirk," Xiao Feng said with conviction.

Zhao Guo'an gritted his teeth, seeming resigned, angrily said, "Fine, I did pee in it, so what?"

"Nothing, as long as you admit it," Xiao Feng nodded satisfyingly.

Darcy nearly ground his teeth to dust, this was clearly spoken to disgust him.
