Chapter 41 The Villa on Fire

There is a three-meter-high concrete wall outside the 23 villas, separating the villas from the road outside. The iron gate in the middle of the concrete wall is also very thick, at least ten centimeters thick. There is also an electric grid at the top of the concrete wall. This is not the configuration of an ordinary villa. A private house would not have such a security design.

"Isn't he just an ordinary villa owner?" The scarred man muttered, and began to back down. It would be faster to rob other villas than to break into this one.

The tattooed man looked at him coldly, with a warning in his eyes, and the scarred man dared not speak again. He clearly remembered that he had fled to Jiangcheng with his men, unarmed, and could only live the hardest life. He was unfamiliar with Jiangcheng and could only live in hiding. However, it was the sudden appearance of the tattooed man who provided him with a large number of weapons, so he could arm his men and return to his old business - it was difficult to live at the bottom, how could it be as comfortable as stealing/robbing in the old business? It was also under the guidance of the tattooed man that they found an abandoned building in the suburbs of Jiangcheng to hide.

Until now, the man with the scar still hasn't figured out the tattooed burly man's background, but he is sure that this man must have seen a lot of blood on his hands. The tattooed burly man has that kind of indifference that only people who have seen blood would have, which makes him very afraid.

"There's an electric grid on the wall." The tattooed man said, "Find the circuit and destroy it first."

Two heavy pickup trucks drove up and the robbers took down ladders from them. The gang was well-trained and wore insulated leather boots and gloves. They planned to climb over the power grid and enter the villa to destroy the circuits.

Gu Nian peered from behind the window on the second floor. The anti-peep film installed on the glass allowed her to clearly see the movements of the outside world without having to worry about being discovered. Watching this group of people break through the power grid, Gu Nian realized that this was a professional gang of bandits.

As early as she heard the gunshots in the community, Gu Nian quickly began her own arrangements. Although she had already dialed the official rescue number, she did not count on it. By the time the official people arrived, it would be too late. In today's world, people have to learn to protect themselves.

Seeing a bandit climbing over the electric fence, Gu Nian opened the bulletproof window a little, set up the sniper rifle, and started shooting at high speed.

For Gu Nian, who was used to using a bow and arrow, switching to a sniper rifle with its own aiming device was a piece of cake. It was also because of this that she discovered that these bandits were wearing bulletproof vests and their equipment was very professional. Gu Nian raised her eyebrows and decisively started shooting them in the head.

In the scope, the head of the bandit exploded into blood, and Gu Nian's finger did not tremble when she pulled the trigger. Before the natural disaster, Gu Nian never dreamed that she would be able to achieve this level one day. After all, she was still an ordinary white-collar worker at that time, but now she has adapted to this environment.

The scarred man stood next to the pickup truck and watched one bandit after another fall to the sniper rifle. Under such circumstances, they were unable to break through the enemy's line of fire.

The scarred man gave an order: "Back off, set fire first!"

Torches were lit one after another and thrown into the villa. Gu Nian stood on the second floor and watched the small garden in the villa completely burn into a sea of fire. Anger instantly surged from Gu Nian's heart. In the current weather, once a fire starts, it will spread rapidly and be extremely difficult to put out. The current fire cannot be dealt with by the several dry ice fire extinguishers prepared in the villa. Even if the groundwater in the villa is used to put it out, the people outside will naturally take the opportunity to attack the villa.

No matter what, given the current situation, it would be difficult for Gu Nian to keep her villa, but this also touched her reverse scale. Gu Nian no longer hesitated.

The scarred man watched the villa burn down with satisfaction. He didn't want to do this at first, after all, it would also burn the supplies in the villa, but who let this woman kill so many of his brothers? Now that it's a sea of fire, this woman can only come out of the villa obediently. After she comes out, with so many people, how can they not catch a woman? The scarred man's eyes were red, and he had already begun to imagine in his mind how to torture and entertain this woman named Gu Nian after catching her.

However, what he was waiting for was indeed a string of grenades. In mid-air, a string of grenades was thrown directly from the second-floor window. All the bandits who saw it were terrified!

"Be careful!" the tattooed man shouted.

It's too late.

Explosions and flames rang out. The robbers who had just opened the door of the villa were injured by the explosions and fell to the ground wailing. Some were hit by the explosions and died on the spot.

The scarred man saw the opportunity early and subconsciously rolled behind the pickup truck, barely avoiding it.

However, at this moment, gunshots rang out again, and the few remaining bandits standing fell down.

Gu Nian opened the iron gate of the villa, walked out with a gun, and started a round of shooting.

In a blink of an eye, everyone in the gang of more than a dozen people who could stand was left with only the tattooed man. He held a hand shield in his hand, but it was this hand shield that blocked all the bullets. With such reaction speed and strength, this tattooed man is the best among the evolved people.

Knowing that it was useless against the tattooed man, Gu Nian put away his sniper rifle and stood outside the door coldly: "You want to come in without saying hello? If you want to die, you can just say it directly."

When she thought of the destroyed villa, Gu Nian felt her heart bleed. The security circuits and surveillance cameras outside the villa were destroyed by the bandits, and the garden was burned by fire, which was now spreading into the villa... Gu Nian spent so much effort to renovate this villa, and seeing her home destroyed like this, her heart was bleeding.

Gu Nian looked at the tattooed man with murderous intent, and sentenced him to death in her heart. The close distance was not suitable for using a bow, so she raised her arm and shot three crossbow arrows directly at the tattooed man. Then she pulled out a pair of daggers and took the opportunity to approach the man.

The sturdy man was not hesitant either. He drew out his long sword and held the short dagger. He was known for his strength, and when he was about to swing it back, the opponent's dagger quickly withdrew and swung at him again and again.

So strong! The tattooed man was shocked and stopped looking down on her. He had only seen such a fast speed on assassins and killers, but he didn't expect this woman to be so fast.

After going deep into the wilderness several times, Gu Nian has honed her own fighting style in actual combat. Even when blocked by the tattooed burly man, she calmly looked for opportunities.

Finally, under Gu Nian's fierce attack like a storm, the tattooed man left a gap. Gu Nian seized this fleeting opportunity and stabbed him with a knife. The tip of the knife pierced the tattooed man's skin.

The tattooed sturdy man felt relieved, and at the last moment he exerted his strength and twisted it, relying on his powerful body reaction to avoid the vital points. It was not a fatal injury, but his expression was stern, something was wrong... this dagger was poisonous!

Gu Nian put away the dagger. The poisonous dagger was made from mutant python teeth and was extremely toxic.

The tattooed sturdy man felt his senses begin to numb and his life was slipping away. He suddenly felt terrified. He always thought that he was not afraid of death. No matter how the people who died at his hands wailed, his heart was cold and even impatient. However, he realized now that what he was not afraid of was the death of others.

"Tell me, who sent you here? If you want the antidote, answer my questions." Gu Nian said coldly.

The tattooed man could no longer support himself and knelt on the ground. "It's the Yongji Biological Group. They said they want to find the spring..."

Spring? Gu Nian's expression was stern, and he asked, "What do they want the spring for?"

"It's a technology that accelerates the growth of mutant plants..." The tattooed strong man said with difficulty: "Antidote...quickly..." He grabbed his throat, having difficulty breathing, and vomited blood repeatedly.

Before he died, he heard the woman say coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't have the antidote either."

The tattooed man died, his body lying on the side of the road.

Gu Nian felt nothing in her heart. These bandits had burned, killed and looted, and she had no mercy on such a wicked person who wanted to kill her.

Looking at the bodies lying all over the road, Gu Nian had a headache. What should he do? But what worried Gu Nian even more was his villa which was completely on fire.

At the end of the road, a long car horn was heard, and a group of people hurried over. They were the official personnel who finally arrived.

The leader turned out to be an acquaintance. Tall, beautiful, and dressed in combat gear, who else could it be but Yu Ziqiu?

Yes, Action Team Noah is always present in any event related to evolved humans.

Seeing Gu Nian, Yu Ziqiu was surprised: "It's you?"

Gu Nian shrugged helplessly: "Yes, it's me."

Yu Ziqiu waved her hand and asked her subordinates to handle the situation: "Go into the house and prepare to put out the fire." She pulled Gu Nian over and started talking.

After listening to Gu Nian's story, Yu Ziqiu answered her directly: "Nowadays, burglary and robbery are punishable by severe punishment, and these people have criminal records. If you kill them all, you are helping us, don't worry."

Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Ziqiu's face became serious again, and hesitantly said to Gu Nian in a low voice: "Many people have been attacked recently."

Gu Nian raised his eyebrows in confusion. Where did this come from?

Yu Ziqiu said: "Some time ago, Zhuo Huai and Cai Ji were attacked. Zhuo Huai was seriously injured and his home was searched thoroughly. I contacted the military later and found out that Wei Rui was robbed and killed when he left the camp."

Gu Nian's pupils shrank. Zhuo Huai, Cai Ji, Wei Rui, and her, all of them had one thing in common.

"We have all been into that laboratory." Gu Nian said slowly.

"That's right. Except for Yuejian who couldn't be contacted, the rest of them have been attacked. Now it seems that it is very likely a revenge act from the Bethida Church. We are also investigating this incident. You should be careful. If necessary, I can help you contact a safe house to live in first." Yu Ziqiu said seriously.

"Thanks, but I don't need it for now." Gu Nian pondered for a while and temporarily declined Yu Ziqiu's proposal.

Yu Ziqiu did not force it. Judging from Gu Nian's performance today, she was capable of protecting herself. With the help of fire extinguishers brought by the authorities, the fire in the villa was finally extinguished. Yu Ziqiu led the team to leave and took away all the bodies, which was also a help to Gu Nian. Only Gu Nian was left, staring blankly at the dark villa.

According to Yu Ziqiu, the Beheda cult is launching a revenge operation, and the first group of people who entered the laboratory have been put on the top blacklist.

But Gu Nian knew in his heart that more than that, this sect was looking for the missing spiritual spring. As the first group of people to enter the laboratory, it was most likely that the missing spiritual spring was in their hands.

And this spiritual spring is in her hands.

Gu Nian's peaceful life was completely disrupted. The burned villa in front of him was just the beginning. The enemy was lurking in the dark, ready for the next wave of attacks at any time. That spiritual spring sounded like something important that they could not give up.

There is also Yongji Bio Group.

Gu Nian had certainly heard of this name. Yongji Group was the chaebol of this era. From oil, mining, real estate, technology... almost all industries related to people's lives had their shadows. After the natural disaster, Yongji Biological Group began to develop wilderness-related technologies with all its strength and had applied for a number of patents in succession.

This is a huge monster, and what is their relationship with Lingquan, Mr. Qiu, and the laboratory deep in the wilderness?

Gu Nian took a deep breath and temporarily put away her complicated thoughts. Compared with these, she had more important things to do now. She quickly returned to the basement of the villa. The iron door, garden, and circuit of the villa had been burned, and the interior was also severely damaged. The only thing to be thankful for was that the iron door of the basement still blocked the fire, and the basement was almost intact. She entered the basement warehouse and began to collect the supplies stored there.

Gu Nian swept the place quickly. In the basement, she stored half of the supplies for easy access, and the other half in the farm space. This arrangement was also to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, but the villa was no longer safe.

Gu Nian collected all the supplies, including the generators in the basement that could be dismantled, furniture, and water tanks that were filled in advance... She took everything she could take away. With all her belongings, Gu Nian drove away quietly.

Whoever was standing behind this tattooed burly man, he already knew where Gu Nian lived. This villa was no longer safe and was severely burned.

Having to give up his comfortable home, Gu Nian's heart was burning with anger, and he had to find a way to make these people pay the price.

Gu Nian turned the steering wheel, and she suddenly remembered that she had one hand on the handle and took out a business card from the storage box in the car. It was a business card that Yue Jian had left for her. At the same time, Yue Jian's words came to her mind: "You will soon encounter some troubles."
