When the seas become polluted, followed by acidic rain, massive storms, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, smog, extreme heat, blizzards, freezing cold, and various disasters kept occurring nonstop, mon...
He gently lay down beside the bed, gazing at Wan'er's face as she drifted off to sleep.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were experiencing something wonderful in a dream.
Junjue felt that he was the happiest person in the world because he had such a gentle and kind girl.
He couldn't help but reach out and stroke Wan'er's hair, a feeling of tenderness filling his entire being.
He wanted to tell Wan'er how much he loved her and how much he longed to spend every moment with her.
But he knew that Wan'er was deep in sleep and didn't want to disturb her.
Junjue leaned gently against the bedside, gazing at her with such deep affection that he seemed to want to forever embed her in his heart.
He murmured to Wan'er, "Wan'er, I will always be with you, protect you, and safeguard you."
Whether in joy or sorrow, I will be by your side. You are my whole world, and I will love you for a lifetime.
The surrounding fluorescent light shone through the window, illuminating the nobleman's affectionate gaze.
He felt bathed in the glow of happiness and was willing to use all his strength to protect this beautiful moment.
He knew that love needed to be nurtured with care, and he was willing to use his sincerity to sculpt a perfect love story.
Junjue gently lowered his head, hugged Wan'er tightly, and felt her warmth.
At that moment, he felt he had found the meaning of life, and that their love would always bloom in the long river of time.
In that instant, Junjue understood that their love was a combination of fire and ice, a burning temperature and a cool appearance.
He was determined that no matter how difficult the road ahead, or how many storms he would face, he would hold onto this love and forge ahead.
At this moment, Junjue felt a tenderness in his heart as he listened to his own sincere confession to Wan'er from the depths of his soul.
Love will forever bloom between them.
Thinking of Wan'er's unusual behavior this morning, Junjue's lips curled up slightly, and he said gently in a low voice:
"Wan'er, how about two more years?"
"By then, even if you don't want it, I will still love you every single day."
"Goodnight, my love!"
Gently kiss the other person's forehead, rest your head on their neck, and gradually fall asleep.
...
When the night was deep and quiet, many people who entered the building went to sleep, while groups of people carrying weapons appeared furtively in the corridors from the eighth to the sixteenth floors.
"Brothers, hurry up!"
"Are your reports accurate? Is there really another batch of new people joining tonight?"
"Yes, boss!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and tie them up, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the person above us."
Anyone who enters this building will be controlled by the person above. The labor force will go to find supplies, the women with some looks will warm the bed, and the women without looks will become logistics personnel and playthings for the subordinates.
Just as a group of people approached the door, Junjue glanced in the direction of the door and continued to lean over Wan'er.
Looking at Wan'er sleeping soundly, he sighed with a pang of heartache. Tonight wasn't going to be peaceful. It seemed Wan'er's sweet dreams were destined to be disturbed.
He just wanted to see what these people were up to.
Not long after, the door was gently opened, and many light footsteps came in. Soon after, a cold object was placed on Junjue and Wan'er.
Junjue and Wan'er slept soundly in each other's arms.
Suddenly, a chilling sensation mixed with a piercing sound shattered their tranquility.
The two men suddenly opened their eyes and found themselves surrounded by a group of armed men, with cold, sharp blades pressed against their necks.
"If you don't want to die, hand over all your supplies. Then, come with us to the 26th floor," a leading man coldly ordered.
Junjue and Wan'er looked at each other, their faces filled with fear and helplessness.
"Who...who are you people?" Wan'er asked in a terrified expression.
"Hmph... We are the hunters of this building, and you who come in are our prey."
"How could you... do this?"
Wan'er knew that now was not the time to be weak and timid.
Clenching her teeth, she struggled to get out of bed, gripping the Duke tightly with both hands, trying to calm her unease.
Junjue gently patted her soft hand, offering her some comfort.
"Hey kid, did you hear me? Hand over the stuff and come upstairs with us!" another man shouted, pressing the knife even harder against Junjue's neck.
The Duke gritted his teeth, but tried his best to remain calm.
Damn it, if I didn't want to wipe them all out, why would I put up with this crap?
He knew he had to remain calm and wait for the biggest fish to appear before killing those people.
"All the supplies are on the table. We'll go with you and won't put up any resistance. We just hope you'll show mercy and not hurt us." The Duke's voice was calm but firm as he tried to ease the tension.
The leader sneered and signaled his men to search the premises.
Soon, they took away all of Junjue and Wan'er's food and daily necessities, and then led the two upstairs.
Following closely behind were the two siblings from next door.
"Captain..." Yue Ying said softly when she heard the voice.
"Let's go up with them first!" Junjue said only one sentence and then said nothing more.
"Enough with the nonsense, let's get going."
The two men came out of 16 and found that many people had already been arrested.
Some of the unwilling people were still resisting, but after being brutally beaten, they obediently left.
Junjue looked at the people who were being beaten with a speechless expression. They would be dragged up sooner or later anyway, so why bother getting beaten up?
Upon reaching the 26th floor, they were led to a large, dilapidated room.
Inside, dozens of people, men, women, and children, were already imprisoned. Everyone was emaciated and dressed in tattered and thin clothes.
The woman squatted on the ground, trembling and crying, while the man sat on the ground, shaking.
Junjue and Wan'er sat in the corner, their hearts filled with anger.
The two siblings next to them did the same, sitting right next to the captain.
They knew that, faced with these brutal hunters, the only way to save these people was to carefully wait for an opportunity.
The room was pitch black, day or night.
Wan'er asked in a low voice, "These people are really arrogant. They've taken over this thirty-plus-story office building, and everyone who comes in has become their prey?"
"Captain, what do we do next?" Yue Ying whispered.
"Shh, be careful. Let's find out what's going on here first, and then figure out how to get out of their control."
"I plan to wipe them all out in one fell swoop," Junjue whispered to the others.
"As expected of the captain, if you're not going to do it, then don't do it. If you're going to do it, then do something big." A hint of excitement flashed in Yue Chi's cold eyes.
"I support the captain's decision to rescue those innocent people," Yue Chi said with a smile.
Wan'er nodded and said, "Since we're going to escape anyway, let's save them while we're at it!"
She knew that the others were all ordinary people with no fighting skills, and now they could only rely on themselves.
The group worked together seamlessly, exchanging ideas and discussing solutions, waiting to find a breakthrough.
