They were chatting together when they came across a college art student in Orange Moon Community who looked like a fairy. They started making lewd jokes, and some of them were even a little tempted.
Sure enough, the next night, a few people went to the Orange Moon residential area and found the art student's home based on the information they had gathered.
When they saw the family photo, they were all excited; the rumors were indeed true.
These beasts sneaked into the girl's room and preyed on her, not even sparing her mother.
The girl's father was killed while protecting his wife and daughter, and they committed evil deeds in front of his unseeing eyes, which they found more exciting.
They didn't return to their lodgings until the next day and told them what had happened.
At first, everyone was very angry, accusing them of causing trouble and saying that the police might come and arrest them that very day.
But several days have passed and they haven't gotten away with anything. This is a sign that there is no longer any legal oversight.
This group of people were like wolves released into the mountains, causing chaos and bloodshed everywhere, without any scruples.
They recently heard that the residents of Building 2 in Hongxing Community started stockpiling supplies a long time ago, and that they are very united and living a comfortable life now.
Isn't that a great goal?
They immediately began a covert investigation and discovered that every night, people would go out in kayaks from Building 2 of the Hongxing residential area and come back carrying large and small bags.
They were certain that there were a large amount of supplies in the building, and as long as they occupied it, they wouldn't have to bother with anything for a long time to come.
After all, plundering is easier and more convenient.
That evening, Commander Li and his men planned to go to the gas cylinder factory located at the border of the east and north of the city to see if they could bring back some.
No sooner had they left than that gang arrived.
There are night patrols in Building 2. As soon as they discover something, they immediately start banging on pots and pans, making a deafening "clanging" sound throughout the entire corridor.
Everyone immediately grabbed their tools and gathered to block the entrance to the fifth-floor stairwell.
Even when Grandpa Li saw his family members rushing out with knives and sticks, he picked up his cane and followed.
Although he couldn't get close, he shouted loudly in the corridor, "You audacious thief, daring to come to our camp, you'd better die! I am Li Desheng, infantryman number 183 of the Flying Tiger Battalion of the 76th Army. If you dare to come, don't even think about leaving. Charge! We will not let a single person leave."
The resounding voices were like a bugle call, sending a jolt through everyone. They stood firm in their fight to protect their homeland, relentlessly pressing the group on the other side.
For a moment, the henchmen who were charging into battle became a little timid and unconsciously began to retreat.
In the ensuing struggle, the gang was defeated and slunk away.
Everyone upstairs started cheering. It was a victory for them. With some of their "main forces" absent, they had easily driven the enemy away.
However, the group that returned to their lodgings had an internal conflict, with some members resentfully teaching and beating up the lower-ranking henchmen in the front row.
"What the hell are you afraid of? We're all behind you. Why are you running? You'll just make a fool of yourself, you coward!"
The henchman retorted, "I chickened out and ran away, so why did you run away? You should keep going! Weren't you so capable? Now you're just offering hindsight advice. You've got too much credit for me."
As they were talking, the two prepared to fight.
Niu Hui, the eldest brother who was smoking with his head down, flicked the ash from his cigarette. He was also feeling frustrated. Since the team was formed, they had never lost a single battle.
Looking at the two troublemakers in the center of the crowd, an unnamed anger welled up inside him.
He stood up abruptly, grabbed a baseball bat from the person next to him, and started hitting the two men.
"You're all talk and no action. If you're scared, don't follow me. Go somewhere safe and don't embarrass me. Get lost!"
Niu Hui finally swung the baseball bat at the two men, who then knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Boss, we won't dare again, we won't dare again."
"Boss, please spare us this time, please."
"Get out!" Niu Hui angrily threw away the cigarette in his hand and stomped it out with his foot.
The two men tried to beg for mercy, but were dragged out by the others. Their fate was just like Niu Hui's final act—they died silently.
Among those who witnessed the whole process was a shifty-eyed fellow named Qian Xing. He came to the boss Niu Hui's side and said, "Boss, this matter can't just be left like this. If word gets out, those people who bring us food will stop coming, and we'll be at a huge loss."
Niu Hui knew this, and he also felt embarrassed. He glanced sideways at Qian Xing and asked, "What do you suggest we do?"
“I believe they have never killed anyone. If we throw the bodies of those two men into their stairwell, it will definitely scare some of the cowards and cause them to fall into chaos. Then we can take the opportunity to break in. As long as we control one or two children and women as threats, they will have no choice but to surrender.”
Qian Xing's smug expression suggested that he had already succeeded.
After pondering for a moment, Niu Hui felt the method was feasible, so he immediately gathered everyone and prepared to go again to catch the other side off guard.
To Niu Hui's gang's surprise, after they were scared off, most of the residents of Building 2 cheered happily.
But a few men came to the side, and one of them went out to find Commander Li and tell him what had happened.
Commander Li, who had already arrived at the gas cylinder factory, unexpectedly encountered Yue Wu, Feng Xuanlang, and their group.
Feng Xuanlang recognized Commander Li and immediately saluted him.
This made Commander Li feel particularly embarrassed, since he couldn't accept such a gift for what he was doing.
Feng Xuanlang disagreed, saying, "These are extraordinary times. The most important thing is to protect the lives of more people. Otherwise, who would betray their beliefs?"
After some investigation, Yue Wu learned that Feng Xuanlang had been drafted into the army during his university years and served as a conscript for two years.
He performed exceptionally well during this period, represented the team in regional competitions, and received two second-class merit awards, both presented to him by Commander Li. It was during this time that the two became acquainted.
We met again by chance. We didn't exchange many polite words; those who understood, understood. We all got busy retrieving the gas cylinders.
Le Wu and his group arrived in a truck. Feng Xuanlang had the truck parked in a shallow area a little further away, where the gas cylinders they had salvaged were loaded onto the speedboat and transported to the truck in batches.
Meanwhile, Commander Li and his men used kayaks to pull the boats back and forth. Just as they were ready to set off, they saw a figure approaching from a distance. It was Xiao Lin from Building 2. He immediately explained what had just happened.
Commander Li sensed something was wrong, after all, most of the people in the building were women, children, and the elderly.
At first, the gang might be intimidated by everyone's imposing presence, but once they realize what's happening, they might come back for revenge, and the consequences could be unimaginable.
Feng Xuanlang also heard about the seriousness of the matter and immediately offered to go along.
She turned to Le Wu and explained the situation. Le Wu thought about it and felt that the more people who went, the greater the chances of success, so she suggested bringing more people along.
