Chapter 1029: Doomsday Big Boss 33

Even after Zhou Tao collapsed lifelessly to the ground, Hu Tongxia’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He simply lifted his chin, glanced coldly at Li Feng and the others, and said, “What? You want to avenge him?”

Then, with a faint sneer, he added, “If that’s the case… come at me together.”

Outwardly, he looked calm and fearless, like some invincible master straight out of a drama. But inwardly, his thoughts were sharp and calculating—Li Feng was clearly the more rational one. The more unbothered he appeared, the more cautious they would become.

And just as he expected, Li Feng was already on edge.

The moment Hu Tongxia finished speaking, Li Feng quickly stepped forward with a disarming smile. “Misunderstanding—this is all a misunderstanding,” he said. “Brother Hu, don’t be angry. Zhou Tao has always been hot-headed. You saw it yourself—I tried to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen. He insisted on picking a fight. Since he brought this upon himself, why would we avenge him?”

As soon as he said that, the others behind him immediately nodded in agreement.

“Exactly! Zhou Tao has always been overbearing!”

One man stepped forward, his tone filled with suppressed anger. “He saw my girlfriend once and… forced himself on her. She couldn’t bear it and ended her life. If I had been strong enough, I would’ve taken him down with me long ago! Brother, from today on, you’re my benefactor. If there’s anything you need, I, Zhang Chun, won’t refuse!”

The others chimed in as well.

“That’s right! We don’t mean to avenge him at all!”

“I’ve been waiting for him to die! Avenge him? Is he even worthy of that?”

Watching their reactions—relieved, even pleased—Tang Wan glanced at Zhou Tao’s corpse with faint sympathy.

No wonder he had been taken down so quickly in the original plot.

With how little support he had, it was obvious that everyone around him had been waiting for this day.

Seeing this, Hu Tongxia gave them a brief look before speaking. “If that’s the case, then we’ll leave it at that.”

Li Feng let out a quiet breath of relief and nodded quickly.

But just as Hu Tongxia and the others were about to leave, Li Feng stepped forward again. “Brother Hu,” he said carefully, “about your base… can we still come?”

Finding a safe and stable base in this city wasn’t easy. If possible, he didn’t want to give up a location like that air-raid shelter.

Hu Tongxia glanced at him indifferently. “As long as you don’t come with ulterior motives, you’re welcome.”

He wasn’t naive.

In this kind of world, large bases would inevitably rise. And Li Feng’s group was made entirely of ability users—if they could be absorbed, the base’s overall strength would increase significantly.

Who knew—maybe one day, their shelter would become one of humanity’s last strongholds.
