To ensure the operation goes smoothly, they need to find a way to lure away the survivors in the community. Bai Shuang remembered her embroidery needles, which were her weapons; she had wholesaled 10,000 boxes of them before the disaster.
"I'll figure something out."
After finalizing the battle plan, it was already 2 a.m., so everyone went to rest.
Lu Yu brought twenty people, ten upstairs and ten in room 1901. Bai Shuang took out the folding beds and bedding she had bought at the general market and gave them to them.
The next day, nothing much happened during the day, and everyone slept until ten o'clock. With so many people, it was inconvenient to take out many things, so we ate pickled cabbage noodles with ham sausage and cucumber salad to ensure everyone got enough nutrition and not fight on an empty stomach.
Everyone was hungry, and each person ate two or three bowls of food. They finished a whole basin of cucumbers, as fresh vegetables were not readily available in the military camp.
………………
Meanwhile, in the military camp, Miss Ling started causing trouble again.
That person instructed him to keep a close eye on Lu Yu's whereabouts and to relay messages to the spies outside the military camp. If he did so, he would help get rid of that despicable Bai Shuang.
She arrived at Lu Yu's door, crying and begging to see him, but the guards outside refused to let her.
"The general is handling important matters; no one is allowed to disturb him!"
Later, Uncle Liang came over and, seeing how pitifully she was crying, helped to persuade her, saying, "Let her see him for a moment, then she'll leave."
But the guards wouldn't listen to anyone.
Uncle Liang knew that Lu Yu no longer trusted him after he clashed with Bai Shuang on Ling Qingyao's behalf.
Miss Ling wanted to yell at the guard, "Watchdog!"
Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Liang covered his mouth and pulled him away.
………………
In the afternoon, at Yichen Tianfu, Bai Jiu and his companion, along with Aunt Li, Wang Xiu, and several other trustworthy and eloquent people, went to recruit workers. They recruited all the people from each building in the Yichen community into one building and showed them how to count embroidery needles.
Twenty needles are packed into a small bag, and when they fill a large box, you earn a pound of potatoes, plus meals are provided.
These days, everyone is hungry, so when they heard about this good news, people from all the buildings, young and old, came out in droves.
We also work overtime at night. Bai Shuang brought a stove to keep warm and used a battery to turn on the lights. Anyone who is sleepy can sleep on a makeshift bed next to us. It's not cold here, so who would want to go home?
The building under construction was guarded at its exit by Bai Jiu and Xue Bao, and they were not allowed to go out at night.
With food so scarce these days, who wouldn't want to earn more food if such a good thing happened? If anyone causes trouble, they must be a spy, and should be killed on the spot.
In the evening, Lu Yu arranged for several soldiers dressed in civilian clothes to guard the two exits of the residential area. Anyone who sneaked out would be considered a tip-off and would be shot dead.
At 1 a.m., accompanied by a rustling sound, a group of men in black took out various combat tools and sneaked into the residential area.
The sentry guarding the gate immediately made a walkie-talkie to notify Lu Yu, and Bai Shuang and the others, who were already prepared, immediately took their positions.
In the white snow, the group of people, like ants, crept to Building C.
The leader this time is one of the top three ranked members of the Wolong Society, with rich combat experience.
Seeing that there was no movement upstairs, he felt half relieved. He gave a signal, and they immediately split into three groups: one group went upstairs, and another group went to the left and right windows.
As soon as the siege ladder was placed against the upper floor, Lu Yu's sniper rifle was aimed at the leader. "Bang!" With a gunshot, his head exploded.
Then, Bai Shuang lit a fuse and threw the explosive charge precisely into the crowd. With a loud "boom," the group of people flew out in all directions like a shower of flowers.
Then, "BOOM!"—the sound of a bomb being dropped from the second window.
"Bang, bang," gunshots rang out from the stairwell.
Those who were spared from being hit by the bomb immediately turned around and ran towards the entrance of the residential area.
The soldiers waiting there raised their guns and opened fire, sending them all to meet their maker.
Meanwhile, inside the building where Bai Jiu and his companion were guarding, several people were also making a fuss about wanting to leave. "Let us go back! This isn't a prison, why won't you let us out?"
Bai Chang pointed the gun at him, "If you cause any more trouble, I'll shoot."
"Go ahead and open it, I bet you wouldn't dare, folks, they're treating us like prisoners..."
He tried to incite the other survivors, but before he could even utter the word "crime," Bai Chang shot him in the head with a "bang!" followed by two more "bangs," killing several others with impure motives.
With the threat of death looming, no one dared to make a sound anymore.
Bai Jiu told everyone, "Robbers have broken into our neighborhood, and my young lady and her friends are fighting them."
Didn't everyone hear the gunshots? And the explosions too? We're not letting anyone go out for everyone's safety.
The person who was clamoring to go out just now is very likely in cahoots with the robbers.
As soon as Bai Jiu finished speaking, a loud "boom" rang out, and no one inside the building made a sound.
They all silently counted the needles, hoping to exchange them for more potatoes.
Inside Building C.
Bai Shuang asked Lu Yu, "Can we call it a day now?"
"You forgot, there's another way to enter the community. With the cunning of the Wolong Society, they won't put all their eggs in one basket."
Bai Shuang remembered that since Xue Mian was now on the 9th floor, another area in the community that used to be a walled area could now be entered.
"How do you know so much about our neighborhood?"
"Before a battle, the terrain must be surveyed."
Okay, you, as a professional soldier, know more.
If Lu Yu doesn't come, then in this conflict, Bai Shuang will only protect her own home, and at most, because of the principle of mutual dependence, she will protect this building. Therefore, she doesn't care about the entrance to the community.
