When the other person arrived at the door of the third dormitory room, I listened carefully to his footsteps.

The other person stopped, holding a gun, and raised his foot, ready to kick the door.

Just as he was about to kick the door, I immediately opened it. His kick missed, and his right foot kicked right in. Without a foothold, he lost his balance and couldn't hold the gun steady.

I hid by the door and saw him about to fall into a split. In an instant, I drew my dagger and plunged it into his throat, then slashed it hard.

Whoosh!

Blood gushed from his neck instantly. He didn't even have a chance to scream before he fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and died.

"One's done, four left." I looked at the corpse on the ground, dragged him into the dorm room, closed the door, and then went downstairs.

I was very careful when I went downstairs, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being discovered by the people downstairs.

When I got to the fourth floor, I saw that the guy on the fourth floor was also checking each dormitory room. However, this guy was much smarter than the guy on the fifth floor. Instead of kicking the door, he carefully used the muzzle of his gun to pry it open.

The other party has now inspected the fifth dormitory room.

I looked at him, intending to take it slow, but then I suddenly heard several cars enter the school.

I didn't hesitate, "I have to hurry!"

Without further hesitation, I grabbed the assault rifle from behind my back, aimed it at the guy on the fourth floor, and started firing.

The moment the gunshot rang out, the spent cartridges bounced off the wall and landed on the ground. Caught off guard, the guy was shot dead by me. Even if he was wearing a bulletproof vest, it wouldn't have mattered.

I didn't care whether he was alive or dead, and ran straight downstairs.

After passing the third floor, I fired two shots directly. The guy on the third floor was slow to react, and only after I shot him dead did he pick up his gun and start firing again.

This time I didn't run straight up to the second floor because I heard the guys on the second floor were already running up.

Instead of ambushing him at the stairwell, I hid in the first dormitory room closest to the stairs and let him run up to the second floor.

This guy stopped on the second floor for a moment, and then I saw a flashlight beam appear, obviously he had turned on the flashlight.

After I heard his footsteps, he came to the window of the first dormitory room. I shot him directly through the window and killed him.

Ultimately, they were just ordinary people, lacking Fei Lichao's soldierly intuition.

After taking care of the four people in one go, I didn't hear any more noise.

I suppose the people downstairs already knew I was lying in ambush upstairs, so the last person didn't come up.

Just then, I heard someone shout downstairs.

"Listen up, you inside! You have no chance to escape now. I advise you to surrender obediently. That way, you might have a chance to live!"

Upon hearing that voice, I was immediately stunned.

Because that voice belonged to none other than Li Shujiang!

I sneered, "I didn't expect Li Shujiang to actually come. It seems Chu Yu's predictions were all correct."

I came out of the dormitory and stood behind a load-bearing pillar in the corridor to observe the scene. I saw Li Shujiang standing in the crowd, wearing a bulletproof vest and a helmet. If he hadn't been standing in the middle of the crowd, I wouldn't have recognized him.

I shouted down, "Li Shujiang, stop talking nonsense! I know that if I surrender, I'll only be dead!"

Upon hearing my voice, Li Shujiang exclaimed in surprise, "I feel like I've heard your voice before... Oh, I remember now, you're Lu Yi, the one who was with Su Mu before!"

I didn't continue, afraid that Li Shujiang wouldn't recognize me. If he did recognize me, things would be much easier.

The reason I insisted on staying behind as bait was partly because I had met Li Shujiang, and Li Shujiang's impression of me was that I was one of Su Mu's people.

With this identity as a cover, I can easily fool him.

Li Shujiang continued, "Since you're not saying anything, then I'm certain that you're Lu Yi, the one who's with Su Mu. But I'm curious, why are you here alone!"

"What's it to you if I'm all alone here?!" I shouted angrily from behind the pillar.

Li Shujiang said from below, "Of course it concerns me! Lu Yi, don't worry, I'm a man of integrity. I only want to ask you one thing. As long as you answer me truthfully, I won't make things difficult for you. After you answer me, I'll leave immediately. What do you say?"

I kept a close eye on the stairwell to prevent Li Shujiang from sending someone up to ambush me.

I shouted down, "I know what you want to ask! You just want to know where Su Mu is!"

Li Shujiang laughed and said, "No, no, I don't care where Su Mu is. I just want to know if it's true that Su Mu has found a new ally and plans to deal with me!"

You've finally asked that question.

I remained silent for a moment, not in a hurry to speak.

After waiting for a long time, he finally shouted, "It's fake!"

Li Shujiang's laughter came from below, "Fake? I can't believe it! If it were fake, why would Su Mu run out of Jiangbei in the middle of the night?"

"How the hell should I know? If you want to know, just ask Su Mu. Why are you bothering me?"

Li Shujiang continued, "Brother Lu, don't worry. I told you that as long as you cooperate, I won't hurt you. Su Mu is a villain, not worth following. As long as you're willing to follow me, I'll definitely reserve a place for you next to me when Jiajiang is unified."

I snorted coldly and said, "Don't try to fool me. Don't think I don't know who you are. You and Su Mu are birds of a feather, neither of you are any good."

Li Shujiang was taken aback and laughed, "Looks like you don't treat Su Mu very well either. What, did he offend you?"

I said, "He didn't do anything to me, but now I understand why he sent me here! That bastard, he just wanted to use me as bait to lure you guys out!"

My stance has started to soften.

Li Shujiang seemed to be getting more and more excited. He asked, "It seems that Li Shujiang has really found a new ally and has actually abandoned you. It's a bit ridiculous."

I sneered, "What can I do? Zhang Zhihao, who was by his side, is dead. I was just someone he used to fill in. I knew this day would come! But Li Shujiang, let me tell you, even if I can't stand Su Mu, I won't turn against him and side with you, so you can just give up on that idea!"

Li Shujiang said, "Brother Lu, don't be so absolute. Everyone is struggling in this world just to survive. If you feel stifled following Su Mu, you might as well follow me. At least I won't make the kind of decision that sends the people around me to their deaths."
