After collecting all the kitchenware, appliances, sofas, tables, and chairs from inside, they also removed the windows, as the glass was bulletproof and had to be taken away.
Xu Lin returned the apartment before leaving get off work at the base's rental center.
As darkness fell, Zhou Pin went out and dismantled the electric fence. Then, the two of them drove the truck away from the base under cover of darkness.
Because the days are long now, almost no one is out at night, so anything can be done during the day.
Xu Lin thought the area around the base should be safe, but she didn't expect to have an accident as soon as she left the base.
Zhou Pin slammed on the brakes and stopped right in front of the nail board. If he had gone another ten centimeters, the tire would have blown out.
Xu Lin took out a gun from her spatial storage and handed it to Zhou Pin. The two of them had always kept Tang swords in their car, so this robbery was obviously well-equipped and quite professional. To deal with professional robbers, you need to use professional combat tools.
The two sat in the car waiting for the other to appear. They saw about a dozen people carrying knives appear in front of the car headlights. Against the light, their shadows shortened as they walked to the other side of the nail board.
"Driving a truck, this isn't the first time you've been robbed, is it? Hand over what you owe." The leader pointed a pistol at the truck.
Upon seeing this, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin immediately rolled down the car window, stuck their guns out, and opened fire. While the leader was drawing his pistol, Xu Lin had already retrieved a machine gun from her spatial storage.
Within seconds, the previously arrogant group of people were all lying on the ground.
“Since you know this isn’t the first time we’ve been robbed, why don’t you think about why we’re still alive?” Xu Lin said, jumping out of the car.
Just as she finished speaking, two more gunshots rang out. Xu Lin turned around and saw that there was another person hiding in the shadows. Zhou Pin got out of the car behind Xu Lin and, realizing something was wrong, opened fire immediately. However, he didn't kill the person; he only hit the person's hand and leg.
After confirming that no one was around, the two approached the man, who was trembling with pain.
"Speak, what's your background? If you're satisfied, I'll give you a quick death," Zhou Pin said.
"He's one of the base commander's men." The man realized Zhou Pin had some skills and figured he was going to die sooner or later anyway, so he might as well die a quick death.
"Did you come out to rob him on your own, or did he allow it?" Xu Lin asked.
"We need to have this equipment ourselves!"
Judging from their professional equipment, I guessed they were no ordinary people, but I never imagined they were this extraordinary.
"What have you been doing before? How long have you been robbing people here?"
"Before, in the slums, the gatekeeper's men found us and asked us to rob people here. They were to give two-thirds of the loot to them, and the rest would be our reward. We've been robbing people here for half a month now."
Xu Lin quickly calculated that it was about time for the Voice of the Base to break the news.
"Where is the base commander now?"
"I don't know, we've only met him once."
"How are you going to give him the looted goods?"
"He comes to collect every two days, and the next time is tomorrow. We haven't managed to steal enough, so we came out tonight to try our luck."
"So he was behind both riots at the base?"
"Yes, my fellow villager also worked under him, and he was among the first batch of people executed."
The two asked him a few more questions, and when they felt they had asked enough, they gave him a swift answer.
"Just give them a heads-up and leave. We can't save that many people," Xu Lin said.
Zhou Pin turned on his communicator. Because he was not far from the base, there was still a weak signal. The group chat was still stuck on the last time they said they were leaving the base.
