Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

After the meal, these dozen people were mentally retreating while comforting themselves.

"Everyone wants to live a good life, right? What's wrong with that?"

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. They pushed us out to die, why should we sacrifice ourselves to help them?"

"Now they've occupied Lane 60, which is so close to Lane 58. I think it's only a matter of time before they take it over."

"That's right, why are you still struggling? We can't die in vain."

Everyone kept preparing themselves mentally, and then lay down on the bed and slept soundly with peace of mind.

But in the middle of the night when no one was around, a few quick calls of nightingales broke the silence.

Their bodies had formed a conditioned reflex to the sound, and their minds were still hazy and they had already hurriedly put on their clothes and came to the yard.

After a long time, more than a dozen people were awakened by the cool night breeze.

Their faces looked a little ugly, knowing that this was Zuo Feng's secret signal for them to go and meet up.

One person asked cautiously, "Shall we go?"

After all, before going to bed, they had decided to stay here and wait for death.

One of them sighed, "If we don't go, will we still have a chance to survive when Fifty-Eight Lane is incorporated into it?"

Everyone looked dejected and could only crouch down and move towards the alley entrance under the cover of night.

As if God was helping, there were many night patrol teams every day, but there was not a single one tonight.

They successfully arrived at the entrance of the alley and saw Zuo Feng standing there with the scarred man.

The scarred man was still as grumpy as ever. "Why are you so slow? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right away."

A dozen people were immediately terrified. "Second brother, calm down. We live too far inside. It took us a while to get here."

The scarred man wanted to say something, but Zuo Feng frowned and said, "Okay, now is not the time to worry about this."

Then he turned to them and said, "You have been in there for several days. Have you figured out where they put the food?"

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to say that they hadn't been going anywhere in the past few days and had been squatting by the well washing clothes every day.

After hesitating and moving their lips, a braver person stepped forward and said, "Brother, we have only been here for a few days. How could they reveal the place where the food is stored to us? Give us some more time."

The scarred man slapped him in the face, almost dislocating his jaw and causing him to spin in a circle.

"That's all very nice of you to say. I'll give you some more time. You guys are enjoying good food and drink every day, but do you know what life is like for the brothers in the alley right now?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't find where they hid the food in two days at most, I'll bury your family with you!"

Even if his mother, wife and daughters don’t care, his sons should at least care.

Looking at the man being beaten and listening to the threatening words, the others couldn't help but clench their fists.

They didn't get much benefit when No. 58 Lane was prosperous. They ate the worst when food was scarce, and they were pushed out to the front when people were needed to be sacrificed.

We just wanted to give them a few more days, but they are treated like this.

Even clay figures have tempers, not to mention that their attitudes had already wavered.

A flame suddenly ignited in everyone's eyes, and they stared at the scarred man angrily.

Zuo Feng didn't want to make things worse, so he adopted the usual fair and impartial attitude of a peacemaker, "Second brother, step back!"

He is much more cunning than the simple-minded scarred man. He knows very well that the subsequent plan still depends on these dozen people and does not want to disappoint them at this time.

"You all know the second brother. Don't pay attention to his nonsense. As I promised you before, it's great that you're willing to do this. No matter what the result is, we will treat your family well."

Zuo Feng's words also made the dozen people regain their sanity and they unclenched their fists.

"Brother, it's not that we don't want to. You also know that Song Zhi is not someone who can be fooled so easily. We don't want to fail at the last minute, so we have to proceed step by step."

"Of course I believe you."

Zuo Feng took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms, "But you also know that we don't have much food right now, and we can't wait too long. Why don't you just kill them all and we can go in and find food."

"Brother, what do you mean..."

"Throw these poisons into their wells tonight, and I'll wait for your good news."

The man who caught the powder began to tremble in his hands. "All... all of them will be poisoned to death?"

That’s over a thousand people.

Seeing their fear, the scarred man couldn't help but say, "What are you afraid of? If they want to poison them, then poison them. If they want to blame someone, blame them for not knowing the current situation. If they had just taken out the food and given it to us, why would it be so troublesome?"

Zuo Feng half coaxed and half threatened them, "If they don't die, we will starve to death. Do you really have the heart to watch us die? Don't forget, your relatives are still in Lane 58."

Suddenly, everyone felt as if their throats were stuffed with rags and they couldn't speak.

After a while, they raised their heads and said seriously, "Don't worry, big brother, we will do as you say."

Zuo Feng smiled with relief and gave them another reassurance.

"You may not know who the leader behind the Shadow Clan is, but I can tell you that before long, we won't have to hide in this alley anymore. We can go out into the world and gain official positions."

"When the time comes, I will definitely find an antidote for you no matter where you are, and I won't let you really die from the poison."

Everyone's eyes sparkled as they listened, and they were moved and said, "Thank you, big brother."

"There's no need for us brothers to thank each other. Just go ahead and do it."

Zuo Feng looked at them with encouragement, as if he were a good person.

Everyone was encouraged and showed eagerness to try.

Only then did Zuo Feng feel relieved and waved his hand to let them go back.

A dozen people quickly returned to the yard. They squatted in a circle in the yard, with the packet of poison placed neatly in the middle.

Someone timidly asked, "Shall we go to the well and put the poison there now?"

"No, there are more than a thousand of them. If we do this, we will be committing a grave sin and go to hell after we die."

"How can I report to my brother if I don't give him the medicine?"

Everyone looked solemn and turned their eyes to the oldest person.

The man took a deep breath and said with determination, "Let's do as Big Brother says. Our relatives are still suffering in Lane 58. We can't just ignore them."

"Alright, then kill everyone here! They were invaders anyway, so even if they die, it's their own fault."

With Zuo Feng's assurance, they no longer had to worry about the poison in their bodies.

Everyone made up their minds and sent two people with poison to sneak into the well outside the kitchen.

They tremblingly opened the poison pot and were about to pour the poison powder in.

However, the next second, he was suddenly hit in the abdomen by a strong force, all the poison powder was scattered outside, and he was kicked out.
