Chapter 35: Counterattack and Robbery
After digging out most of the pocket, Gu Luan finally stopped because his hands were too cold.
It was raining heavily the whole time, and even though there were trees on the mountain to block the rain, we still got wet.
I took out the thermos from my backpack, took a sip of brown sugar ginger tea, and my body immediately felt much warmer.
Gu Luan was most afraid of the cold, and in the past she would stay at home in winter if possible.
Later, extreme cold came and she ran out of food, so she had to endure the cold and go out.
As a result, he fell seriously ill when he came back, and his hands and feet were covered with frostbite.
Her previous life was so miserable that she didn’t even know how she survived until the end of the world for five years.
"Let's go dig bamboo shoots now."
Manager Liu dug up a lot of wild vegetables and lichens and started talking excitedly.
Everyone had almost finished digging, and the group walked towards the place where there were bamboos.
After a while, I saw a large bamboo forest with many bamboo shoots growing under the bamboos.
"With bamboo shoots, our trip is not in vain."
"That's great. I thought I had made a wasted trip and could only bring back some wild vegetables."
Several men worked hard with excitement, and even peeled off the shells of the bamboo shoots they dug in order to have more decorations.
Gu Luan likes to eat bamboo shoots very much. She stockpiled a lot of dried bamboo shoots and also bought some fresh bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoots here taste bitter. After boiling them for a while, they have to be soaked in water for half a day to remove the bitterness.
"I hate eating bamboo shoots, especially the ones we have here."
Tan Tao had a resentful look on his face. No matter how reluctant he was to eat them, he knew that bamboo shoots were a good thing now and he had to eat them.
Bai Yue was digging very hard, and Zhang Yan was not much behind. Both of them were quick and efficient, and each worked harder than the other.
In the end, everyone's pockets are filled.
Even if everyone still wants to find something on the mountain, they can only leave and go back first.
"Have you noticed that the rain has eased a bit?"
A man looked at the sky and spoke in surprise.
“It seems really small.”
"Great, are we going to stop? I've had enough of this damn weather."
Several people were talking to each other, complaining about God.
"Let's go!"
Looking up at the sky, Gu Luan frowned slightly.
When the rain starts to get lighter, it means extreme cold is coming, which is not a good thing.
Perhaps it was because Gu Luan's tone was a little solemn, the originally happy people became quiet.
Zhang Yan looked up at the sky, then looked at Gu Luan who seemed to be annoyed, and his heart sank.
The twenty-four people walked towards the place where the rubber boat was hidden, but met six men with machetes on the way.
When they saw them, the six men smiled with joy.
"Brother Sheng, they are here."
The man who first saw Gu Luan and others burst into laughter.
They were all from a nearby residential area, and there was only one rubber boat in the entire community.
This morning I actually saw four rubber boats heading up the mountain, planning to rob this group of people.
"What are you going to do?"
Manager Liu hugged his things tightly and said with a trembling mouth.
"What are you doing? Put your stuff down and give it all to us, and then hand over your rubber boat."
Several people looked at Manager Liu with contempt. So what if there were more than 20 people? They were not holding weapons, so they were not afraid.
"no!"
When he heard that they wanted something, the fisherman shouted angrily, but he didn't dare to resist because some of them had knives in their hands.
"Don't let go? That's courting death."
A man in his forties sneered, raised the machete in his hand, but his eyes fell on Gu Luan Baiyue, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He is an old bachelor. When he sees a woman, especially a beautiful woman, he can't control his inner excitement.
Bai Yue was disgusted by his gaze and glared at him fiercely.
The old bachelor smiled obscenely and deliberately took a few steps forward.
Tan Tao put down his bag and stood in front of Bai Yue and Gu Luan, "If you take another step forward, I will beat you to death."
Tan Tao looked like someone who was not easy to deal with, but the six people were not afraid, after all, they had weapons in their hands.
"Beat me to death? Haha, I want to see whether your fist is harder or my knife is faster."
The old bachelor was a reckless person when he was young. He raised a knife and threatened Tan Tao loudly.
"What are you going to do? This is a society ruled by law. Do you dare to kill people?"
Manager Liu and his colleagues were shocked and shouted in disbelief.
"A society ruled by law? If the country doesn't care about us, how can there be a society ruled by law?"
Brother Sheng, one of the six, made a "Pooh" sound and smiled coldly.
"Originally I only wanted your things and the rubber boat, but now I want these two women too."
Brother Sheng raised his hand and pointed at Gu Luan and Bai Yue.
Manager Liu was about to say no, but he saw the remaining five people surrounding them and were about to take action. They were so scared that they were shaking all over.
"You...you can't do this, the police won't let you go."
The fisherman retorted in a low voice, and one of the robbers saw that he didn't know what was good for him, so he raised his knife and chopped him down.
"ah!"
The fisherman didn't expect these people to really dare to attack him, and he was still stabbed by a knife while dodging.
Manager Liu and his colleagues were frightened by these people's brutality, so they huddled together and dared not move.
Tan Tao was usually ruthless in fighting, but he didn't dare to go against so many knives.
"You still dare to resist? If you want to die, just say so."
Brother Sheng smiled complacently, he liked this feeling, it was more fun to commit crimes during chaos than in peacetime.
Manager Liu and others did not dare to resist and watched Brother Sheng walk towards Bai Yue and Gu Luan.
Zhang Yan and Tan Tao stood in front of Gu Luan and Bai Yue and threw the things in their hands to Brother Sheng, "You guys run, we'll block them here."
Brother Sheng was completely furious and raised his knife to chop down fiercely.
A crossbow arrow passed through Zhang Yan and Tan Tao and went straight through Brother Sheng's arm.
Brother Sheng screamed and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
Everyone looked over in shock, only to see that Gu Luan had a crossbow in his hand, and his cold gaze fell on the six people.
Without saying much, Gu Luan shot another arrow, and Brother Sheng died without even a scream.
Before his death, Brother Sheng still had a look of pain on his face and he never thought that anyone would kill him.
Now the order has not been completely disrupted, and Brother Sheng and his men only dare to pretend and do not dare to kill anyone at all.
They never thought that they would meet Gu Luan who dared to kill people when they went out today.
The remaining five people looked at each other, and then quickly dispersed and ran away the next moment.
Gu Luan raised his crossbow without saying a word and shot arrow after arrow, killing three more people in an instant, leaving two alive.
Zhang Yan and Tan Tao looked at each other, picked up the machete that fell on the ground, and chased after the remaining two people.
Five minutes later, Zhang Yan and another man came over with a blood-stained machete. The rain quickly washed away the blood on the knife.
Gu Luan put the crossbow into his backpack and looked at Manager Liu and his group with an expressionless face.
Manager Liu and his group met her gaze and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Gu Luan and the other two actually dared to kill someone?
There's a murderer in their neighborhood! Aren't they afraid of being caught?
