Unbeknownst to them... their casual attitude gradually turned into increasing anxiety under Mu Rou's insistence.

What should we do if we really can't find any trace of those children?

Such thoughts gradually emerged in their minds.

"You...you guys..." Tie Xi heard Mu Rou's indistinct voice, "Are you...getting impatient?"

Iron Rhino's expression froze instantly, then turned ashen.

"You fool me?"

He threw Mu Rou onto the hard ground again.

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Mu Rou's lips curled up slightly... seemingly mocking the three somewhat exasperated guys in front of her.

"I...would...not...tell...you...even in death..."

Mu Rou used her last bit of strength to say it, word by word.

"Damn it, I'll kill you!"

Seeing Mu Rou mocking him, Tie Xi roared and slammed his fist into Mu Rou's heart.

"Wait, Iron Rhinoceros! She's deliberately trying to provoke you!"

Dark circles under the eyes hurriedly and anxiously called out.

As Mu Rou watched the rapidly enlarging shadow, she revealed an expression of relief mixed with a hint of relief.

Fortunately... she had planned ahead for what to do if she encountered an insurmountable crisis...

Although today's events happened very suddenly, she did fulfill her responsibilities as the kindergarten director and protected the children well.

She was confident... that no one could discover those lovely children.

But without her... how will the children survive in the apocalypse?

In the final moments of her life, Mu Rou felt a deep concern for the children.

"No! Don't hurt the headmistress anymore... I, I'll tell you everything!"

Iron Rhino's fist came to an abrupt halt.

And along with it, it also came to a standstill...

And Mu Rou's heartbeat.

...

Chapter 200: Persistence Reduced to Nothing

"Why...?"

Tears stained with blood streamed down Mu Rou's face as she stared in disbelief at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

"If...if you promise to let the headmistress go, I...I will take you to where the children are."

Li Duo knelt on the ground, speaking through tears.

She lowered her head, subconsciously avoiding Mu Rou's gaze, which seemed to look at her like a stranger, as if only in this way could she lessen the pain in her heart.

"Oh? Isn't there someone with eyes to see this?" Iron Rhino slowly raised his fist. "Fine, as long as you can lead us to those children, I'll let this damned woman go."

“I’m sorry, I can’t bear to see the headmistress suffer such pain.” Li Duo slowly stood up, walked to Mu Rou’s side, and said softly, “Even if… the headmistress will hate me for the rest of her life because of this.”

An unexpected situation suddenly occurred, causing Mu Rou's heart, which was almost at relief, to tighten again. She stared wide-eyed as Li Duo walked step by step towards the escape route she had prepared for the children, and uttered a weak plea.

"No...no, let...let me die..."

However, Mu Rou's voice could not stop Li Duo's determination to free her from her suffering. Under the watchful eyes of the three members of the Evil God Cult, Li Duo arrived in front of a large willow tree.

"Right here."

Li Duo's voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes revealing deep regret and a hint of barely perceptible madness.

Although she knew that doing so would render all the principal's previous efforts futile, and that the children would face an unknown fate in the hands of these people, she simply couldn't stand idly by!

Especially when she saw the bloodied dean, Li Duo felt that her world had become completely dark and gloomy.

She felt she had to do something... otherwise, the dean she had always admired and respected would really die!

Even if... it wouldn't matter if we handed those children over to them, right?

In the end, they're just a bunch of burdens. If they die... it won't matter, right?

If the principal can be saved in this way, then isn't it perfectly acceptable to use those useless children as bargaining chips?

Li Duo slowly loosened her clenched fist.

Yes... she did nothing wrong.

All of this... is for the headmaster!

"Hmm? You're pretty good at hiding it?"

Tie Xi sneered at Mu Rou, then walked up to the willow tree.

He rubbed his hands together as he looked at the huge tree, which was as thick as two people could hug, and then hugged it tightly. With a sharp shout from Tie Xi, he easily pulled the old willow tree out of the ground.

But as soon as he tossed the tree trunk aside, Tie Xi's expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed Li Duo by the collar.

"Are you playing me too?"

Dark circles and a cat-like face followed, and his complexion also became somewhat unpleasant.

Because in the pit where the trees had been uprooted, there was no secret base as they had imagined, but only soil.

"Under...here..."

Because her neck was being tightly gripped by the iron rhinoceros, Li Duo spoke with great difficulty.

Tie Xi snorted coldly, released Li Duo, and began digging at the soil below.

However, after digging nearly a meter deep, he still found nothing... If it weren't for the fact that Li Duo didn't dare to lie, he would have already taught this woman who had tricked them a lesson.

"what is this?"

Finally, the iron rhinoceros digging in the soil discovered something unusual in the soil; he suddenly touched something soft.

That was... a barrier made of intertwined vines.

Below it lies a deep, dark cave entrance, its destination unknown.

At the very moment Black Rhino discovered this secret passage, a tear of blood quietly flowed down Mu Rou's face as she closed her eyes in despair.

"Woman, well done!"

He spoke in a low voice, his eyes dark.

If Li Duo hadn't suddenly appeared, even if they had managed to find this deeply hidden cave entrance, it would have taken them a great deal of time, and that would have definitely displeased the Evil God.

"The children are now in your care, so... stop torturing the headmistress!"

"Of course, if that woman hadn't been so stubborn, we wouldn't have resorted to such cruel methods," Tie Xi said meaningfully. "Besides the children, you women... also need to atone to the evil god."

Tie Xi's words were filled with a chilling tone, but Li Duo didn't pay much attention to them.

She staggered to Mu Rou's side, looked at the headmistress who had fallen into a coma, and gently placed her hand on Mu Rou's fair face, which was stained with blood.

"I'll do anything to save you..."

Seemingly sensing the deep resentment in Mu Rou's furrowed brows, Li Duo murmured softly.

Her eyes flickered with an extremely unusual emotion.

“I’ll stay here. Bring the child over as soon as possible.” Tie Xi glanced at the darkening sky. “At least before night falls, we must offer the living child to the evil god.”

Catface and Dark Circles nodded solemnly and entered the deep cave. Iron Rhino, due to its overly large size, stayed at the kindergarten for the time being.

...

"Phew~ It looks like... we're saved for now."

Saber took a breath and looked at Mu Rou with admiration.

That unwavering spirit and will, and the willingness to risk her life for what she was protecting, were extremely rare, even among the knightly order she once led.

"Master...no matter what, we must save that elf lady."

Saber said softly.

“Of course.” There seemed to be a flame burning in Ye Xingluo’s eyes. “Those guys from the Evil God Cult… are as infuriating as ever.”

Now... we're just waiting for these guys to achieve their goal and return to their lair.

"Oh? It seems someone's coming..."

Suddenly, Ye Xingluo and Saber turned around at the same time. With their exceptionally keen senses, they clearly felt that someone had entered this somewhat secluded house.

"Headmistress...I hope she's alright?"

"Don't worry, the headmistress will definitely protect us well!"

"Yeah, just like before...maybe in a little while, the headmistress will take us back~"

The little girl's delicate voice rang out softly beside her.

"Shh...everyone, please stay quiet here and don't make any noise."

Then came the somewhat stern voice of an adult woman.

Nightfall and Saber exchanged a glance. Although they didn't know exactly what had happened over there, they instantly realized...

It seems that all the children from Nantong Kindergarten have successfully escaped and gathered here.

...
