From the day he entered the police station, his goal was to become the top officer. However, promotion required seniority, and there was a shortcut: meritorious service. But meritorious service was not so easy to achieve. That is, until he met Ah Long.
Ah Long is an underground gang leader who specializes in illegal high-profit activities such as underground casinos, loan sharking, and even drug trafficking.
When Ah Long approached him before the disaster, he knew that those were illegal and criminal acts, very dangerous. He struggled for a long time, but ultimately could not resist the temptation of power and money.
Ah Long needed his power, and he needed Ah Long's financial resources and connections to help him gain merit and rise to power. The two hit it off immediately.
Therefore, before the disaster, Director Zheng made several great contributions, which won the favor of his superiors, and he was finally promoted to director.
After the natural disaster struck, taking advantage of the chaos, the two made a fortune and expanded their criminal gang, committing all sorts of arson, murder, and robbery, showing no regard for even the military and police.
They had hoped to join forces and become the local tyrants of Tang City, but unfortunately, Lu Yu and his military were stationed there, opposing them at every turn.
They have repeatedly wiped out their illegal dens and arrested their people everywhere, seriously hindering their development.
The two decided that while seizing territory and expanding their power, they would also eliminate the "holdouts" and gradually erode the military's influence, in preparation for the eventual annihilation of the army.
Director Zheng entered a residential area that looked as ordinary as could be from the outside. The residents of the area looked no different from other survivors, except that they all had blue marks on their left arms.
Director Zheng walked towards the most inconspicuous building, and someone immediately came up to him, "And you are?"
Director Zheng removed his headscarf, and the man immediately became humble: "Boss Zheng, you've arrived!"
Director Zheng nodded slightly. "Is Ah Long here?"
The man quickly said, "Brother Long is inside, please follow me!"
The two walked one after the other to an ordinary house, entered the password to open the door, entered a bedroom, pressed a button on the wall, and the wall slowly moved, turning into an entrance.
This place used to be an underground casino before Ah Long's disaster. It looks ordinary on the outside, but it's a hidden gem inside.
The entire hall, spanning over a thousand square meters, was brightly lit, with a luxurious chandelier every few meters—olive, magnolia, cone-shaped, rose-shaped…
The indoor heating system is complete and the temperature is comfortable.
There were a lot of people, scattered here and there.
Some were drinking and playing drinking games, some were playing mahjong, and some were gambling together, with young and beautiful female dealers in bikinis standing nearby.
Some even sat to the side, cigars dangling from their mouths, embracing scantily clad women, indulging in unrestrained revelry, disregarding the occasion and showing no sense of propriety or shame.
In the end times, there is a distinction between the poor and the good, and the evil. Ordinary people will starve to death, while these people will live in extreme luxury and live even more carefree and happy than before the end times.
Those who saw the second-in-command personally leading the group in all wisely shut up and quieted down.
Director Zheng followed the man straight to the innermost room without looking to the side. The room was very large, luxuriously furnished, and fully equipped with all kinds of furniture and appliances.
A man in his thirties was sitting on the sofa, wearing a floral shirt, with his legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, playing on his phone.
"You seem to have a lot of free time?"
Hearing the voice, Ah Long looked up and saw it was Director Zheng. He immediately stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"
Director Zheng sat across from him on the sofa. "Where are the people you sent out?"
Ah Long looked at Hu Zi, "I've already sent someone to check, but they haven't returned yet."
"No need to wait any longer, they've been completely wiped out!"
Ah Long and Hu Zi stared in surprise. Those twenty men were carefully trained by them, and losing even one would be a loss.
"I warned you not to touch that girl, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, we have another formidable enemy."
Ah Long: "But the die is cast."
"Increase military force and activate the second plan."
………………
At Bai Shuang's house, after Wenwen left, she began to organize her weapons. It was time for a battle, and it was likely to be a fierce one!
She kept all kinds of guns, bullets, gunpowder, bombs, incendiary bombs, etc. in easily accessible places in her space.
Of course, armor-piercing explosive rounds and Stinger missiles could not be used, as they would cause too much damage. She did not want to harm the buildings in the residential area, and even avoided using gunpowder if possible.
Poisons, sedatives, hallucinogens, etc. are also prepared. Although martial arts, weapons, and medicines each have their own characteristics, they can be used in combination.
Also, you should prepare some smoke bombs, incendiary bombs, and explosives.
The snow leopard sensed its owner's nervousness and ran around helping.
After tidying up, first check your own room, and then consider any possible issues.
Everything was ready; they were just waiting for Lu Yu and his team to arrive so they could arrange personnel and deploy the battlefield.
After dinner, Bai Shuang ate with Xue Bao and then did some work in the space for a while before going to bed at 9 pm, as she needed to rest and recharge.
At exactly 12 o'clock, Bai Shuang was fast asleep and was not woken up by the knocking on the door. It was the snow leopard that woke her up.
Suddenly remembering that Lu Yu might have brought his troops, he kicked off his slippers and went to open the door.
"Are you asleep? That's huge!"
"What am I afraid of? We'll meet force with force, and water with earth."
Lu Yu: "...Well, she's not entirely wrong. Aren't I a general myself?"
Joking aside, business had to be done. They were naturally cold and hungry on their way here, and it was a life-or-death struggle for them, so Bai Shuang didn't care about the little bit of food.
"Are you hungry? Eat first, then you'll be ready to work."
Bai Shuang prepared hot rice dumplings, porridge, and spiritual spring water for everyone to drink.
Lu Yulai brought only twenty men with him, plus himself and two personal guards, making a total of twenty-three. These men were all handpicked by him and possessed considerable martial arts skills and rich combat experience.
They sneaked in from the military camp, because the Wolong Society still doesn't dare to confront the military directly, so they also launched a surprise attack.
Once they find out that Lu Yu has arrived at Yichen Residential Area, they will definitely cancel their operation.
Bai Shuang's purpose in returning was to lure the enemy out of their hole, wipe out all the bandits they sent, and weaken their strength.
Their headquarters have not yet been located; they always appear and disappear unpredictably, making them impossible to guard against.
After the meal, everyone discussed the battle plan. Bai Shuang was an amateur in this area, so she naturally had to listen to Lu Yu first.
Regarding weaponry, Lu Yu brought a lot from the military camp, so we'll use theirs.
Actually, defending Building C is not difficult. As long as you guard the entrance and all the windows, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
To catch them all in one fell swoop and prevent them from escaping, you can leave a few people at the entrance of the community to capture any deserters.
The difficulty lies in the concern that residents of the community might be taken hostage by criminals.
Among them were informants they had bribed, who could hide among these survivors and stab them in the back when the opportunity arose.
We need to find a way to lure them out, but that will also attract the attention of the robbers.
Their operation is expected to take place tomorrow night. Bai Shuang recalled the 10,000 boxes of embroidery needles she had wholesaled before the disaster…
