In this situation, Qin Bai had no other choice but to take a gamble.
"Old Zeng, wait until the candles inside go out, and then after a while, unlock the door and we'll rush in."
Qin Bai said.
This time, in order to deal with Lin Zhao, all three of them were armed. Qin Bai even brought a crossbow, just in case.
They waited there for some time, and after the candles inside went out, some more time passed.
"Let's begin."
The three of them quietly arrived outside the store. Zeng Qiangguo took out a wire from his person and inserted it directly into the keyhole.
With a soft click, the lock was opened.
They moved quietly and carefully as they opened the shop door and peered inside.
The shelves in the store were mostly empty, with only a few items remaining.
In the aisle of the store, several figures were sleeping on the floor.
After all, no one expected that someone would open the lock without making a sound.
The three looked around and quickly found Lin Zhao at the very back.
Everyone else slept on the floor, but he slept alone on a small bed, with a young woman beside him.
It's clear that this woman was acting voluntarily; if she had been forced, she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at this point.
Wu Ming pointed at Lin Zhao and made a gesture to make a move.
However, Qin Bai pointed to the ground, where those people were blocking their way.
It's safe to say that it was impossible for them to kill Lin Zhao without alerting the people on the ground.
Therefore, the only way is to kill Lin Zhao with a crossbow.
But this means they only have one chance.
If they fail to kill Lin Zhao in one attempt, they will have no choice but to retreat.
Otherwise, if so many people are alerted, it will be difficult for them to leave.
Qin Bai took out his crossbow and aimed it at Lin Zhao, but he quickly frowned.
Lin Zhao had only her head sticking out of the blanket; her body was almost entirely inside the blanket.
The thickness of the blanket should be enough to withstand some of the force of the arrows.
Unless he gets blown up in the head, the operation will fail.
Qin Bai handed the crossbow to Wu Ming and let him try it out.
After all, Wu Ming was a policeman who had handled a gun before, so his aim was a bit better than his.
Wu Ming grinned. Actually, his marksmanship during training wasn't very good either, but it was a little better than Qin Bai's, who had no shooting experience at all.
Wu Ming took the crossbow and carefully aimed it at Lin Zhao's head.
Just then, the woman next to Lin Zhao suddenly rolled over, and one of her long, snow-white legs landed directly on Lin Zhao.
Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but at this temperature, it can instantly wake you up.
Sure enough, the woman shivered from the cold, groggily opened her eyes, and sat up in bed.
Wu Ming knew he had no time to hesitate, so he decisively pulled the trigger and fired the arrow.
Pfft!
The arrow pierced through the blanket and struck Lin Zhao in the shoulder.
"ah!!!"
Lin Zhao was jolted awake by the excruciating pain and let out a shrill scream.
"This is a repeating crossbow, keep firing!"
Qin Bai shouted.
Since we've already been exposed, we might as well take the opportunity to fire a few more shots; it might have an effect.
Wu Ming, as expected of a policeman, remained calm even at this moment and continued firing, though his accuracy was much worse.
Some arrows flew to the wall, some pierced the shelf, but one arrow pierced through the quilt, striking somewhere unknown. Lin Zhao let out another scream.
"Retreat immediately!"
Before the others could react, the three of them quickly ran away.
By the time the group of henchmen finally realized what was happening, the three had already run away.
This operation can be considered a failure.
However, the injuries caused by Wu Ming should be enough for Lin Zhao to rest for a while.
After all, Lin Zhao's special ability only enhances her own strength, not heals her injuries.
Wu Ming returned the crossbow to Qin Bai, somewhat ashamed: "This operation was all because of me. If only I could have been more accurate."
"Old Wu, there's no need for that. Bows and crossbows are different from firearms, and this is your first time using one."
Qin Bai patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Lin Zhao shouldn't take any further action in the next few days, but he should also guess that it was us who did it, so these next few days are very important."
“We can try to win over some residents in the community. The three of us alone are not enough.”
After the two returned, Qin Bai felt hungry, so he took out a half-finished pizza from his spatial storage, heated it up in the microwave, and started eating.
"Hmm, the taste is not bad."
Qin Bai enjoyed a late-night snack, then he realized that he hadn't chatted with that Green Ivy girl for a while.
With that in mind, he first took out all sorts of food and arranged them, then took a selfie without showing his face, and sent it over.
"Tonight's late-night snack is still so boring, it's not tasty at all."
To be honest, anyone who saw this would probably want to beat Qin Bai to death.
Strangely, Qin Bai waited for a while, but there was no reply from the other end.
"Did her phone run out of battery? Or did something happen to her?"
Qin Bai thought about it for a while, then decided to give up.
His acquaintance with Green Ivy was purely accidental; he didn't care what had happened to her.
Just as he was about to go back to rest, his phone suddenly vibrated.
It was Green Ivy Sister who replied.
"Giegie, you're eating so much delicious food again! I'm so envious of you. I'm still eating instant noodles, sob sob~"
Green Ivy Sister sent over a voice message, and judging from the voice, she was indeed eating instant noodles.
Meanwhile, on Green Ivy's side...
She held an axe in her hand, and not far away lay a headless, frozen corpse. Her face was incredibly cold, but her voice remained sweet.
After sending the voice message, she looked at the frozen corpse on the ground with a hint of confusion on her face.
"That's strange. Didn't I kill this person before? How did he come back to life? And why does he look like this? He looks like a zombie."
"Could there be something good inside its brain?"
Green Ivy raised the axe and chopped down heavily.
What others considered an incredibly hard head was easily split open in front of her, and a crystal the size of a peanut popped out.
"Oh, there really is. It's like playing a game. I'll go online and look it up later to see what it's used for."
As she spoke, her gaze drifted outside the church, where, seemingly out of nowhere, some figures had appeared, swaying and staggering.
They were all covered in a layer of ice!
