When Zhang Lin went upstairs during the day, he didn't go straight upstairs. Instead, he hid behind the fire door and listened for a while. He heard everything Xiao Wang and Chen Zibo said clearly.
Someone as cautious as Zhang Lin, seeing Xiao Wang's strong hostility towards him, how could he not be on guard? And how could he casually reveal the floor he lived on?
Of course, the floor he mentioned was also fake.
Tomorrow we're heading to the suburban villa area. Before getting onto the subway tracks, we'll need to pass through the apartment complex, go past the subway station, and walk along a main road.
With three women and most of the supplies with him, how could Zhang Lin possibly leave behind a potential threat?
Therefore, he deliberately gave Chen Zibo a fake address. If that Xiao Wang really wanted to do something, then tonight would be his death night.
The footsteps grew closer, and there were two people talking quietly.
"That Chen guy is so old-fashioned!" That was Xiao Wang's voice. "Zhang Lin is all alone, and his gun might be out of bullets. I don't know what he's afraid of?"
"Brother Wang, is he really out of bullets?" another man asked, his voice trembling with fear. "If he still has bullets, we're doomed!"
"Are you stupid?" Xiao Wang said irritably. "We definitely can't fight Zhang head-on. This time, we're here to find out his background first. Once he goes out during the day, we'll find a way to pry open the door, and then his supplies won't be mine anymore, right?"
"What if we run into him?" The other person was still a little scared.
Xiao Wang said, "That's why I said that the man surnamed Chen is so pedantic. If he had just killed Zhang Lin during the day, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."
"But he's not dead..."
"How could we be so unlucky as to run into him?" Xiao Wang said. "Besides, we'll move to a different place as soon as we get the supplies. Zhang will definitely cause trouble for Chen, but what does that have to do with us?"
“I…I’ll do whatever you say.” The other person was convinced.
Xiao Wang suddenly lowered his voice: "Stop talking, the next floor is the 25th floor."
Zhang Lin's hearing was much sharper than before; although Xiao Wang and his companions spoke very softly, he could hear them clearly.
Although Ji Yuetong could hear voices, she couldn't make out what they were saying. She was very nervous, holding her breath and trying not to make a sound.
A series of 'creaking' sounds rang out.
Xiao Wang and his companion pushed open the fire escape door. They went from house to house on the 25th floor, peering through the cracks in the doors, listening for sounds, or examining the marks on the ground.
"Brother Wang, we can't tell which company this is!" His companion had been busy on the 25th floor for a long time, but still hadn't found anything.
Xiao Wang was very patient. "Don't rush, take your time. Think about it, if we can get that batch of supplies, how long can it last us? At that time, we can watch from upstairs as Chen and his men fight to the death downstairs, and watch Zhang Lin angrily go downstairs again to collect supplies."
"I understand, Brother Wang."
The two of them spent half a day working on the 25th floor, and they managed to identify which households still had living people, but they still couldn't pinpoint Zhang Lin's exact address.
The two were tired, so they went to the end of the corridor and leaned against the window to smoke. A refreshing night breeze blew in, and they imagined the bright future they would have after obtaining the supplies.
But suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached, instantly putting the two of them on alert.
"who?!"
"The person you're looking for." Zhang Lin held a flashlight, shining it on the two men opposite him, and raised a gun in his other hand as he walked towards them.
"Zhang Lin!!"
Xiao Wang was terrified.
His companion's legs went weak, and he almost fell down.
Who wouldn't be afraid when a gun is pointed at them?
"Behave yourself and don't move," Zhang Lin threatened as he walked away.
Behind him, Ji Yuetong followed closely, her eyes fixed on the two of them.
In terms of combat, she couldn't help, so she could only do this little thing, at least to keep Zhang Lin from being ambushed.
"You...you heard everything?" Xiao Wang involuntarily took a step back, his body pressed against the windowsill. "Heh...you definitely heard it. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
He still had some courage, but his companion was not so brave. He knelt down on the ground, raised his hands, and cried and begged for mercy.
Zhang Lin ignored him and slowly approached, saying, "That's how we'll do it!"
As he spoke, he gave Xiao Wang a hard push. Xiao Wang's short, stocky body seemed to have no weight at all in Zhang Lin's hands, and he flipped out of the window.
"Ah, ah ah—"
A terrified scream pierced the night, waking many who were resting. In this apocalyptic world, everyone was on edge, wondering if anyone would be scared into developing a mental illness.
Xiao Wang's companions were terrified and didn't even know how to beg for mercy.
Zhang Lin grabbed him by the collar and threw him down.
Another scream rang out, followed by the faint sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Many people opened their windows to check on the situation, but quickly closed them again.
It's so late at night, there's no light at all except for the moonlight, you can't see anything.
"Let's go, let's go back."
Zhang Lin turned around, his expression unchanged, and took Ji Yuetong's small hand, slowly walking towards the twenty-fourth floor.
Ji Yuetong remained silent for a long time.
Although he had witnessed Zhang Lin commit murder before, and it was even more bloody than this time, the shock he felt this time was far greater than before.
She had a general understanding of the reason for this matter, and she felt somewhat afraid of Zhang Lin's entrapment tactics and ruthlessness.
But for some reason, I felt a sense of peace.
"Luckily, I'm your person." Ji Yuetong didn't speak until they were almost at room 12 on the 24th floor. "In this way, your caution and ruthlessness are used to protect me."
"To be precise, you're not really one of my people yet," Zhang Lin reminded him.
"I know, but it's going to happen sooner or later." Ji Yuetong said softly, "If you really want it, go and let An Qingge and her sister sleep together, and I'll give it to you tonight."
Zhang Lin remained silent.
He could tell that if Ji Yuetong were to accompany him now, she certainly wouldn't refuse, but she probably wouldn't be doing it willingly.
“The suburban villa is safe. You can do whatever you want there.” Ji Yuetong seemed afraid that Zhang Lin would be unhappy, so she quickly added, “Besides, you’ll need some time to deal with An Qingge, right?”
"Do you think I'm some kind of lustful monster?" Zhang Lin said irritably. "I've already said, I want you to follow me willingly, not just to sleep with me and be done with it."
For some reason, Ji Yuetong felt somewhat moved when she heard these words.
'I'm so pathetic...'
She couldn't help but curse herself in her heart.
As they were talking, the two arrived at the door. Zhang Lin knocked and, as usual, introduced himself. An Qingwu opened the door.
She first looked Zhang Lin up and down, not knowing whether she wanted to see if he was injured or alive, or if there were any marks on his body from his intimacy with Ji Yuetong.
