Hearing the gunshots outside, the second brother asked anxiously, "Boss, what do we do?"

"Notify the third brother to bring his thugs and guard all the windows."

Take the people on the 10th floor down to the 16th floor as hostages.

"Big brother, what about us?"

"Be prepared for both possibilities. Take out the supplies we prepared last time."

Second brother, "I understand, but what about the grain?"

"As long as we're alive and have the tools, we won't have trouble getting food."

It has to be said that there's a reason why this burly man, who committed numerous crimes before the natural disaster, is still alive.

He is particularly good at making choices in critical moments.

Bai Shuang, inside an office building in the distance, observed the situation through a high-powered scope and realized that they were trying to take advantage of the building's position to prepare for defense.

Next, they should be taking hostages and making statements.

Then, it started to rain, making the sky hazy and reducing visibility.

The walkie-talkie crackled to life: "Miss, we've entered the building."

"I know, please take good care of yourselves."

"To catch a thief, first catch the kingpin; take care of the main culprits first, and the other henchmen can be spared."

Most of the underlings are just following the crowd; there's no need to wipe them out completely. Wouldn't it be better to send them to Shanxi Province to mine coal?

Besides, Bai Jiu and his companion would have to fight head-on against forty or fifty people who were skilled in martial arts, and these people might also be armed.

In such a situation, it is very easy to lose sight of one thing and suffer injuries or even more serious consequences. Wouldn't it be better to subdue the enemy without fighting?

Bai Shuang put away her sniper rifle, changed into a diving suit, swam over, and found a secluded place to stand before climbing back up.

At this moment, sounds of fighting and noise came from inside the building, but Bai Shuang believed that Bai Jiu and the others could handle it.

If she were a burly man, what should he do? He would definitely fight if he could, and if he couldn't, he would run away in the chaos.

Thinking of this, Bai Shuang found two routes to get out near the building. One was the front entrance, which was the direction from which the sniper rifle had been fired.

Everyone will be on guard in this direction. If the burly man wants to escape, he will definitely avoid other people, so he cannot escape from here.

The road behind that building will be their only escape route.

Bai Shuang found a relatively secluded spot and kept an eye on the area.

As expected, not long after, a head popped out of the window on the 5th floor. Judging from his shifty eyes, he must be the second brother.

Seeing that no one was around, he lowered a speedboat, then put down two large bags, and jumped onto the boat.

Immediately afterwards, he waved behind him, and another man with a muscular face and a large backpack appeared. He must have been the muscular man the old man had mentioned.

They looked around but didn't see anyone, so they prepared to leave by boat.

Suddenly, Bai Shuang rushed up behind them and thrust a poisoned dagger down, but they dodged most of it, and the part that was stabbed seemed to have no effect.

They must have been wearing bulletproof vests, and they were very skilled in martial arts.

Before they could react, Bai Shuang thrust another needle into their faces, which they dodged again.

At this moment, Thief Eyes and his gang also took out their guns. Turning around, they saw a woman with snow-white skin and beautiful features, kicking towards them with agile movements.

"Are you a female SWAT officer?"

Bai Shuang didn't answer them. Instead, she kicked the wrist of the thief holding the gun, which flew through the air and was caught by Bai Shuang.

The burly man aimed at Bai Shuang and pulled the trigger. Bang! Bai Shuang dodged it, turned around, and pulled out another needle. One of the needles pierced his neck, and the burly man finally collapsed to the ground.

Bai Shuang was also surprised by their agility; she had thought they were just good at fighting and had some martial arts skills.

Bai Shuang turned around, and Zei Yan grabbed a dagger and stabbed it towards Bai Shuang's chest. It was too late to dodge. Just as she was about to disappear into the space, she heard a gunshot. Zei Yan fell to the ground, his head split open.

Bai Shuang turned around and saw Lu Yu just emerging from the water, his diving suit still dripping water.

He wiped the water droplets from his face, put away his gun, and stood up from the window sill. Then, two of his bodyguards appeared behind him.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Yu didn't answer him. He jumped onto the boat and hugged her tightly in his arms. Only then did his heart return to his chest.

"Why take risks?"

Bai Shuang realized what was happening and pushed him away. "In a world ravaged by natural disasters, comfort can lead to destruction, while adventure can foster growth."

To be honest, it's impossible not to be touched that Lu Yu would come from the Hundred Gangs to help her, but right now they can only be friends, and she can't give herself away.

"By the way, what brings you here?"

"In the morning, I heard from Wang Bin and the others that you came to Yangling yesterday and didn't go back last night. They were worried about you, so they came over."

Did you know? A couple of days ago, the government officials who were sent to investigate the situation here went missing.

Because of the missing persons incident, Lu Yu was planning to take some time to come over in the next few days, but unfortunately he was tied up with other things. This morning, he heard from Wang Bin that Bai Shuang came to Yangling yesterday and didn't go back last night.

He was extremely anxious and didn't want to wait a second longer, so he immediately led his personal guards over. However, as soon as the ship reached the vicinity of Yangling, he heard gunshots.

They quickly jumped off the boat and took a shortcut, swimming over.

Because if we were to sail, we would have to take the main road, and that would make us too conspicuous and easy for the enemy to spot.

Swimming to the vicinity of the tall building in Yangling City, I heard the sound of fighting. Looking up, I saw someone holding a dagger and fighting with Bai Shuang.

Raising the gun at the speed of light, just as the dagger was about to pierce Bai Shuang, he fired a bullet into the man's head.

When the natural disaster began, Yangling City had already sent people to relocate researchers, seeds, and data, but the storm came suddenly, accompanied by hail.
