"Halt! Who are you?"

Since the other party spoke first, Ye Lei and the others had no choice but to stop.

"Tiger, are you there?"

The man asked.

"What do you need Tiger for?"

“I brought a few people with me; they also want to exchange crystal cores for some supplies.”

"Oh, I see. Bring the crystal core over here so I can take a look."

Ye Lei tossed over the crystal core he had prepared in advance. The other party caught it, looked at it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Come on, follow me!"

It seems that these people will accept any crystal core they have.

Upon entering the guard post at the main gate, I was surprised to find it filled with a large amount of supplies.

Ye Lei gestured for Cha Murong and Xiu Yan to stand outside first; he needed to deal with these two sentries first.

"Choose one. Five crystal cores can be exchanged for a pack of instant noodles, or equivalent supplies."

The person who led them into the house pointed to the supplies on the ground.

"We want to see Brother Tiger."

Ye Lei said.

"Want to see Brother Tiger? Do you think you can just see Brother Tiger whenever you want? Hurry up and pick what you want and get lost."

The other party seemed very impatient.

"Oh well."

Ye Lei pretended to be selecting supplies, while the two men relaxed their guard and chatted idly as if no one else was around.

"Hey bro, this packet of instant noodles looks expired!"

Ye Lei shouted.

"How is that possible? Let me see."

One of them walked over, and just as he got close, Ye Lei's lightsaber emitted a blue light and pierced straight through his chest.

"Ah..." Seeing the sudden change, he screamed and was about to run away, but Ye Lei was unlikely to give him a chance.

He took a big step forward, covered the man's mouth with one hand to prevent him from shouting, and with the other hand holding a lightsaber, gently slashed the man's neck. The man immediately lost his strength and went limp.

"Brother, you dare to kill Tiger's men?"

"Just two small fry, what's there to be afraid of?"

Ye Lei didn't care. He carefully collected the crystal cores he had just thrown to them, as well as the supplies on the ground, and put them all into his spatial storage. It was the apocalypse, and it was wrong to waste resources.

"Do you have any ideas on how to lure them down?"

Ye Lei asked.

"Brother, are you really going to go against Tiger? They're really scary."

"It's already started, and if we don't confront them head-on, it'll be too late!"

Ye Lei kicked the two corpses on the ground.

"Alright, I'll give it a try!"

After finishing his sentence, the man left the guard post and headed towards the stairwell.

Ye Lei couldn't possibly believe him. This guy had thought their Tiger Brother was amazing from the beginning, so he must have missed such a good opportunity.

"Cha Murong, Xiuyan, come in and help."

"Okay, Brother Lei."

Ye Lei took out a heavy machine gun, smoke bombs, grenades and other heavy weapons from his spatial storage.

"Brother Lei, are you going to use this place as cover?"

Cha Murong asked.

"Yes, it's too empty outside; this is the only place that's still usable."

"This looks so exciting!"

Cha Murong looked at the pile of weapons with some excitement.

"Alright, get things set up quickly, they should be coming down soon."

"good"

The three began building a fortress for their final stand.

The man went up the stairs, and after his identity was verified, he soon met the "Tiger Brother" he had mentioned.

Tiger was leisurely sipping an iced drink, while two beautiful women were comfortably serving him.

"Tiger Brother, Tiger Brother, something terrible has happened!"

"What serious thing happened? Why are you all so flustered?"

Tiger put the drink aside and sat up straight.

"You don't know yet? Three guys came from who-knows-where, killed all my brothers, and now they've come here to kill their way in!"

"Oh, there are still people so ignorant and arrogant that they dare to mess with the Black Tiger Gang."

Tiger seemed very interested.

"Yes, I warned them, but it was no use!"

Where are they now?

"They've already taken care of the guards in the guard post right at the main gate."

"What? They've already stormed to the door and I had no idea? Were you let in by them?"

Tiger stood up when he heard that the enemy was already at his doorstep and he was still completely unaware.

"Yes, they let me in on purpose so that you would leave, Brother Tiger!"

"Hmm, this is interesting. I'd like to see who's so audacious. Let's go, call the brothers, and come out with me to take a look."

Tiger picked up the AK-47 that was placed next to him, slashed the woman's face with the muzzle, and lewdly said, "You all just wait, Tiger will be right back to play with you."

"Okay, Tiger, we'll wait for you to come back."

The two beauties exchanged a flirtatious glance and lay down to rest.

"Brothers, come with me, let's see where this little bastard came from!"

Tiger shouldered his AK-47 and led the way downstairs, with the man following closely behind, and the brothers behind him were also fully armed.

Hidden in the sentry post, Ye Lei saw the leader smoking a cigar. Judging from his demeanor, he must be the Tiger Brother these people were talking about!

"Brother Tiger, hello there!"

Ye Lei shouted from the window.

"Which gang are you from?"

Tiger took a puff of his cigar.

"Just trying to make a living."

"If that's the case, then why did you hurt my brother?"

"If we don't do this, we won't be able to see you in person!"

Ye Lei said with a smile.

"Now that you've seen it, tell me, what's the matter?"
