Lu Xiaoran understood perfectly what he meant. The muscular Ability user he had encountered before was indeed involved in a robbery at a residential building. It was likely part of the mission assigned by Zhang Kaiwen.
Lu Xiaoran nodded at Zhang Kaiwen and said, "I know. I was mentally prepared for this before I came."
Hearing this, the young man beside Lu Xiaoran chimed in, "Yeah, I understand too."
The video that Zhang Kaiwen had posted online bluntly revealed their plan to rob the shelter from the very beginning. In such circumstances, those who were still willing to join them were undoubtedly individuals lacking any moral compass, ready to wallow in their corruption. Therefore, it was no surprise that these people could accept a mission to rob a residential building.
Seeing that both of them had no objections, a satisfied expression appeared on Zhang Kaiwen's face as he continued, "We'll arrange which neighborhood to target tomorrow morning. For tonight, you two should head back to your rooms and rest."
Zhang Kaiwen glanced at a piece of paper on the table and then looked up at them again. "You'll be staying in Room 30. Keep this key safe; don't lose it."
After saying that, Zhang Kaiwen picked up a key from the table and handed it to Lu Xiaoran.
Just as the two were about to turn and leave, Zhang Kaiwen seemed to remember something and called them back. "Oh, by the way, there are still a few ordinary people without Abilities in that room. They are Indigenous residents who have been living in this shelter. How you deal with them is up to you; feel free to eliminate them if you wish."
A nonchalant expression crossed Zhang Kaiwen's face, as if the lives of those individuals were as insignificant as weeds in his eyes.
Once the two nodded in agreement and left the room, Zhang Kaiwen picked up a teacup from the table and took a sip, muttering to himself, "In just three days, I've recruited over ten Ability users. At this rate, it won't be long before I can form an army of Ability users."
With such forces at his disposal, controlling all of Haitong would not be impossible. Ha ha.
As he thought about this, a smug smile crept across Zhang Kaiwen's face.
He had once been a con artist. Convicted for defrauding over five hundred thousand yuan—a sum considered particularly large under the law—Zhang Kaiwen was sentenced to ten years in prison.
When the gas attack occurred, Zhang Kaiwen was serving his sentence at Haitong First Prison. On May 10th, when strange lights appeared in the sky, he discovered that he had awakened his Ability. With this Ability, he could easily open the iron doors of his cell.
In the early hours of May 11th, Zhang Kaiwen led several others from their cell to escape from prison. After killing the guards and seizing their weapons, they freed all the prisoners in the facility.
Zhang Kaiwen selected those among the prisoners who had awakened abilities, totaling more than ten individuals. He then formed a team with these prisoners. Two days ago, this team launched an attack on Fog Mountain Sanctuary.
Ordinary people stood no chance against those with abilities; the inhabitants of the sanctuary struggled to defend themselves and were quickly defeated. The prisoners streamed in, taking control of the entire Fog Mountain Sanctuary, which had now become their territory.
After leaving Zhang Kaiwen's room, a young man with Electric Shock Ability approached Lu Xiaoran and introduced himself, "My name is Li Zhiqiang. What's your name?"
