Meeting of the Five
When Xie Lin received the news, he was working overtime at the police station. The colder the weather, the more difficult the life became, and the more cases there were.
The recent cases were so bloody and horrific that they could hardly bear to watch. When there was no food, they resorted to cannibalism. What's the difference between them and those people who eat raw meat and drink blood and have absolutely no ethics or morals!
He was just looking through the documents and getting a headache when Old Zhou from the Criminal Police Team One ran into the office and said, "Thank you, Director! We found Miss Wen!"
Xie Ling stood up quickly: "Where is it?"
Mayor Wen just received a ransom letter today, and everyone was relieved to know that he was kidnapped.
Not dying is good news.
Old Zhou explained the whole story. When he got to the slogan, Xie Ling frowned and said, "Are you sure it's true? How could any god cause such a big storm under my nose?"
"The news that the mayor's daughter is missing is only known to those within the municipal government. I think it should be true."
Xie Lin immediately submitted a report to the city government. Because it involved Mayor Wen's daughter, the approval document was issued almost immediately.
Speed is of the essence in war, so he immediately dispatched troops and the police force headed straight for the area a hundred miles away.
Jiang Miao woke up on time at 4:30 in the morning.
I feel much better after a good night's sleep.
After shaking off the snow on the sleeping bag and putting it into the space, Jiang Miao stretched and took out a sandwich and cheesecake from the space, and had breakfast with a cup of hot American coffee in the cold wind.
Captain Liu's men were not far away, lying in ambush.
Wearing a Mediterranean headband, Jiang Miao turned the tattered cotton jacket he wore yesterday inside out and it changed color. If you didn't look closely, you would never tell that it was the same girl as yesterday.
At five o'clock, the large group of people came following the marks given by Captain Liu. Jiang Miao retreated to the side and rear of the cave and found a position where he could have a panoramic view.
Captain Liu reported to Director Xie that judging from the people on duty outside, there were indeed guns, alcohol, and motorcycles, and there were quite a few of them.
At this time, the images taken by the drone were also transmitted to the combat command center via Bluetooth.
"From the air, this cave is really huge."
"But will air circulate with only one exit? I think there must be other exits."
"Is there anyone who is good at geography in the police academy?"
Several captains of the special police force were talking to each other, and the door of the cave over there was slowly opened. Everyone fell silent at the same time and observed the situation with binoculars.
They were a few thugs who were sent out on missions as usual. Although their clothes were bulging, the old policeman's sharp eyes could tell that they had guns on their belts.
Jiang Miao also noticed it.
She thought that if it were her, she would just rush in while the main force was still warm from the exercise and charge in without any hesitation.
It's so cold today that even the car has to be pre-started, let alone people.
Just as Jiang Miao thought, after the cave door was opened, Director Xie immediately led his men to rush forward.
The soft and rustling footsteps made a strange noise in the forest. The strong men guarding the gate were still thinking that the wild wind in the mountains was becoming more and more unpleasant and piercing.
The special police soldiers wearing head armor, steel plates and flash shields moved quickly among the woods. The moment they jumped out from the tree branches, they pounced on the targets in a well-trained manner, quickly unloaded their guns and handcuffed them behind their backs.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to stop the cave door from closing, and it was closed anyway.
The brothers guarding the gate were so frightened when they saw so many policemen suddenly appear that they immediately pressed the alarm button.
The noisy and urgent ringing of bells suddenly rang out in the mountains and forests. Xie Ling acted quickly and used a gun to explode the warning device.
The sound stopped abruptly, and the people who were awakened in the cave sat up suddenly, turned over, put on their clothes, and ran towards the front cave in panic.
"Bang, bang, bang--" Wang Jianjie was very panicked and fired bullets everywhere, killing whoever he could.
Why is he so unlucky? His shift is about to change. Can't these police officers be half an hour late?
The sound of gunfire resounded throughout the forest. Director Xie ordered the combat troops to provide cover and advance forward in an orderly manner. They successfully took down the sentry post and lurked on the flank of the cave entrance.
Inside the cave, people with their outer clothes on backwards and no shoes on gathered around the hot spring pool, where the water was bubbling with steam and filled with warmth.
"Butler, what's that noise outside? I think I heard gunshots! Is someone going to attack?"
The butler is a thin man in his thirties wearing glasses. He has the final say on all personnel dispatch and material distribution in the cave.
His face was solemn, and he soothed them loudly: "Don't panic, family members. If there is anything, we will face it together and solve it together! The master will not abandon us, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome!"
Everyone gradually calmed down.
Indeed, the Lord has invested so much effort, money and materials here, how could he just give up!
The gunshots stopped and everyone was silent for a while. Da Fei spoke up, "Butler, what do you think we should do now? We can't just stand here and wait to die."
The housekeeper also began to panic, but he couldn't show it on his face.
"Who said we are waiting to die? Why did the Lord give us so many guns and so much ammunition? Even if the king of heaven comes today, he will leave with holes all over his body!"
The chief guard stood up and said, "Although this is earlier than the time promised by the Lord, I want to ask, which man who joins our Dragon Guard is not a passionate man who cannot stand this unfair world! Who doesn't look forward to this day coming sooner, to become the master of the world!"
yes!
We are all miserable people oppressed by the injustice of the world. We should rise up and follow the example of Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang to carve out a world of our own!
The chief guard looked around and became more and more confident as he spoke: "We have a natural geographical advantage. It is easy for us to defend and counterattack. As long as we wait for the reinforcements from the Lord, it will be our time to kill everyone and live a good life!
Brothers! The training and hardship you’ve endured these days should finally pay off!”
The passionate men were encouraged and ready to fight, fantasizing about the wonderful life after winning the battle.
The housekeeper also struck while the iron was hot: "Family members, this is truly a critical moment for survival. We should have come to this point earlier. Who helped us when we were most desperate and allowed us to live so comfortably."
"My Lord!"
"We are loyal to our Lord and we serve Him. May God bless our Lord for eternity!"
As soon as this slogan was sung, everyone followed it subconsciously: "God bless our Lord, forever and ever!"
The housekeeper said with a knowing smile: "It is the Lord's eternal life, and ours for generations to come! Our descendants will all enjoy our blessings!"
The strategy began to be deployed in the cave, led by the captain of the guards and a few smart brothers who loved watching war movies, sitting on the ground and starting to discuss tactics.
The butler wiped the sweat from his head.
Fortunately, he usually did a good job of brainwashing and got away with it smoothly.
These people who can be developed by his men are themselves objects that are extremely easy to incite and persuade. Then, you give them a sense of belonging, stir up divisions, and finally draw a pie in the sky, and they will rush to the front line without thinking and work for you.
The butler could not bear to look at the rough map, so he asked the chef to prepare a good meal for everyone to eat as a last meal.
While the tactics were being discussed heatedly in front, the butler quietly sneaked back to the back cave, packed up his bag, took out many good things, and climbed out along the undercurrent on the side of the cave.
Just as the special police speculated, it is impossible for so many people to live in such a large cave without air circulation.
Of course there is more than one secret passage in the cave, but they were all hidden before construction and would not be told to these people.
In the entire cave, only the butler knew about it.
Pushing aside the snow pile at the entrance of the cave and climbing out, the butler hugged the bag tightly and fled in the opposite direction of the cave entrance. He had to report this news to Yuan...
Click.
Jiang Miao acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. He knocked the butler unconscious with a single chop and put the backpack on his back into the space.
She waited for a long time and finally saw the rabbit fall into the trap.
She had thought about the problem of air circulation in the cave yesterday.
However, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to try to find the exit of the dark cave in such a vast forest with such heavy white snow. It would be better to wait for them to lose their composure and come to you on their own.
Unfortunately, only one was caught.
Do others still intend to defend to the death?
Following his footprints, Jiang Miao tied pine branches behind him to clean up his traces, and soon he arrived at the entrance of the cave.
After adjusting the hood of the wretched old man and putting on a mask, Jiang Miao followed the frozen undercurrent and crawled into the secret passage.
I climbed to the very end and touched some wood, which should be a cabinet.
Jiang Miao made sure that there was no one outside and slowly moved out of the dark cave.
The temperature in the cave was indeed about ten degrees higher than outside, which made it almost warm in comparison!
This place has a separate bed, desk and wardrobe, and should be the room of the person just now.
Jiang Miao ignored the rest of the daily necessities. She directly put all the documents and books on the desk into the space. Unfortunately, she arrived a step too late and the brazier was full of burning ashes.
It seems that the key evidence linking the Yuan family to this cave has been burned.
Jiang Miao came out of the room.
The cave at the back is not as tall as the cave in front of the hot spring. It also looks to be of normal height. Some places are even extremely low, and you need to bend over to pass through.
Time was running out, Jiang Miao was looking for someone while collecting supplies. When he passed by the kitchen, he saw the cook stealing food and slapped him unconscious.
The special police will be here soon, and it would be a bad idea to collect everything too cleanly for fear of arousing suspicion, so Jiang Miao only collected some canned food, vegetables, and fruits.
Finally, faint crying sounds were heard from the deepest part of the cave.
Jiang Miao walked over quickly and turned the corner to see a cell made of welded steel bars.
There were more than twenty girls trapped inside, their hair was disheveled and some even had bruises on their faces and bodies.
Just when they were feeling helpless and sad, they suddenly saw a wretched old man staring at them intently. Many of them turned pale instantly, sobbed and bit their lips, not even having the strength to cry.
Jiang Miao walked to the iron gate and saw a big lock on it.
Then she checked the sturdiness of the iron door and railings, and after making sure that they could not be shaken by human power, she put two large steel locks on the sturdy cell.
This operation stunned the girls imprisoned inside.
Jiang Miao stuffed the steel plates and iron rods that he had prepared in advance and instructed in a hoarse voice: "If they can't get in and get angry and want to shoot, you just hide behind the steel plates."
Then he threw the key in: "You guys take the key."
Jiang Miao couldn’t take so many people away.
If we can't take them away, we have to be on guard against these people who may take the lives of these innocent girls as their victims.
The cage that previously confined them has now become a fortress to protect their safety. As long as the special police come in, they will be completely safe.
The keys lay on the ground.
A girl with swollen eyes and mouth crawled over step by step firmly, holding the key in her hand and asked carefully: "Are you a policeman?"
Jiang Miao didn't say much about exposing his identity, only saying: "The police are outside."
At this moment, hope ignited in everyone's eyes, and even the wretched face in front of them became much more pleasing and kind.
It was not advisable to stay here for long, so Jiang Miao reminded him to be careful and then left.
The supplies in this cave are indeed very rich. Everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation can be stored in the space as one passes by.
When they arrived at the dark cave room, they could faintly hear the sound of the front door being breached. Jiang Miao hurriedly forged a piece of false evidence that this cave was connected to the NESR workstation.
After lighting it, he extinguished it in the air and threw it into the brazier to create the illusion that it had not burned out yet. He immediately hid in the secret passage and evacuated from the cave.
With this excuse, the Public Security Bureau will definitely conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation of all matters at the workstation.
It would be better to let Director Xie investigate the reason for the false report of the case.
Jiang Miao came out of the cave, walked around a long circle, took off his hood, and ran straight to where Ye Ming parked his car at the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, we had secretly marked the way along the way, so we managed to evacuate successfully without any danger.
Just turn another corner and you'll be there.
Jiang Miao took out large and small bags of supplies that he had just collected from the cave from the space. As long as he could hold it in his hands or hang it on his body, he took it out.
She ran over with great effort. Fang Yang saw her through the rearview mirror and immediately opened the door and got out to take it.
"Sister! So many!"
"Yeah." Jiang Miao thought that it was not easy for these two people to come along on this trip, so he simply took out more.
Without further ado, Jiang Miao used a tree branch to sweep away the snow on the car body, sat in the cab to warm up for five minutes, and set off on the return journey.
In addition to the things Jiang Miao brought back, the trunk also contained many rabbits and pheasants. Even after removing two seats, the trunk was almost full!
After Jiang Miao left that afternoon, Fang Yang and Su Le teamed up to hunt a little wild boar. After the apocalypse, the boar had lost weight to about 100 pounds, with tendon meat all over its body.
Jiang Miao drove very steadily on the ice all the way. He reached the city in more than an hour and parked downstairs.
It is a rare sight to see cars in Ancheng nowadays, and such a cool Hummer is even more unique. It instantly attracted the attention of people upstairs and downstairs and the entire community.
Wearing a mask, Jiang Miao got out of the car. Li Chongyu, who received the message on the pager, was already waiting downstairs, just waiting for Sister Miao and the others to come back.
"You guys have been out for several days, I was so worried!" Li Chongyu leaned over the car window and whispered, "To be honest, if you don't come back, our 11th and 12th floors will really be eaten alive by this group of people!"
Jiang Miao only received the distress message when he entered the city and sent a pager.
There is almost no signal in the deep mountains. Even if she didn't put the pager into the space, she still couldn't receive any messages.
All I can say is be content with what you have available.
Seeing that Li Chongyu was in good spirits, Jiang Miao did not ask any more questions at this time.
Three people took turns to carry the supplies up. After two people in a group carried the supplies twice, they stood by the car to rest to prevent thieves from stealing things in the chaos.
Just at this time, Su Le, who had just finished giving his statement at the police station, was also released.
With one more laborer, the process increased a lot and everything was done in no time.
The people in the corridor watched them pack up supplies home box by box, and their envy, jealousy and hatred were beyond words.
In addition to so many exquisite vegetables and fruits, there are also various kinds of meat and even a wild boar!
They are starving to death, but the people on the top floor are eating and drinking delicious food. Why?
But no one dared to go up and fight the guy on the top floor alone. After all the things were moved, they gathered together and swore and cursed, as if this would make the bad guy on the top floor's life more miserable.
"Why don't we go to other buildings to find some reinforcements and take over the top floor together. Their supplies will be ours!"
"That's right. There are only four people living in these two large duplexes. You can imagine how much supplies they have hidden!"
"Hey, didn't you take the opportunity to go up and pick a fight this morning? How was it?"
The person being asked gave a bitter smile and began to think about where there was a place nearby where he could go hunting, and where the person on the top floor had caught so much meat.
After moving the things, Jiang Miao drove the car away to an abandoned iron tower in a deserted suburb, then put the car away and rode his bicycle back.
The moment she stepped into the building, people who saw her automatically fell silent, and only relaxed their guard after watching her walk back to the top floor.
After not seeing her for a few days, the murderous aura of the female Rakshasa became even colder.
Everyone felt that the previous discussion of finding someone to kill them was a bit too stupid. With the strength and skills of this female Rakshasa, it was not certain who would kill whom.
Jiang Miao walked to 1101, where the supplies were still piled on the ground.
"We can first take the supplies we need most and then divide them equally... Su Heng?"
In the living room of 1101, Immortal Lord Su Heng sat in a corner of the sofa like a flower on the high mountain, with wide sleeves neatly placed on both sides. The cold jade hair crown and the ink-black bun exuded a sense of coldness for no reason.
Just looking at him twice made the whole room feel a few degrees colder.
Fang Yang came out of the room immediately after hearing his sister coming back. Su Le was packing a few rabbits, and Li Chongyu was standing by, pouring tea and water for Su Heng.
"You're back." Su Heng picked up the teacup with one hand and took a sip. His posture was elegant and his movements were relaxed, which made Su Le and Fang Yang feel dazed and frowned.
They had always thought that Li Chongyu's comment about the senior being a rich woman who had a gigolo was just his imagination that he couldn't get the love she wanted. After all, they had lived upstairs and downstairs for so long and had never seen any gigolo.
Who would have thought that when I saw him today, there actually was a pretty boy!
Not only is this guy a severe case of chuunibyou syndrome who does cosplay, he has never done a day's mission outside and is completely supported by the senior sister alone. In the doomsday, he still has the leisure to do such flashy things. If not to suck the senior sister's blood, what is he?
Su Le and Fang Yang were united in their hatred of the enemy and were very excited. Even such a good-looking face was useless in front of them.
Nonsense, can the senior sister support him if he has an ugly face?
Therefore, from the moment they saw him and knew his identity, both of them were in a bad mood.
"Yeah, I'm back." Jiang Miao walked over and looked him up and down: "Why are you here?"
Su Heng recalled what happened an hour ago, and frowned slightly: "It was too noisy. I woke up."
Li Chongyu explained, "I was busy moving things downstairs just now and didn't have time to tell you. This morning, the people downstairs saw that you hadn't come back for a few days and thought I was the only one upstairs, so they came up in a group and tried to break down the iron door to get in and seize the supplies!"
Indeed, they are by no means creatures that will become self-aware after being taught a lesson.
"I couldn't handle it alone. I shot arrows and threw stones, but I couldn't stand their overwhelming numbers. I almost shot and killed someone! The Taoist priest heard that the door downstairs was about to be knocked open, so he came down to deal with the scoundrels. When the others saw how powerful the Taoist priest was, they immediately fled in shame."
Jiang Miao: "Master?"
Li Chongyu seemed very excited: "At that time, I invited the Taoist priest to come in for a cup of tea. I saw the Tai Chi and Liang Yi patterns embroidered on his belt. In order to find a topic to ease the awkwardness, I discussed Taoism with him."
He became very excited: "I didn't expect that the Taoist master's teachings are so profound, and his insights are so incisive and profound. If he were in our Sanqing Temple, he would have to be appointed as the elder advisor!"
Su Le Fangyang was unmoved, and Jiang Miao was speechless for a moment.
He coughed lightly and said, "Let's divide the supplies first."
Following Jiang Miao's suggestion, everyone took what they needed and liked most, and then divided the supplies equally into four portions.
After the distribution, Li Chongyu raised his hand: "In fact, the defense of the house this time was not just my own achievement, it was mainly due to the help of the Taoist priest. I want to give him half of my share."
The Immortal Lord's Jade Pure Body doesn't eat grains, so it's useless for him to share these. Jiang Miao took the lead and helped him refuse: "No, keep it for yourself."
It takes some courage to refute the smoke from the cooking stove. Li Chongyu whispered, "But don't we distribute according to merit? The Taoist priest also has merit."
Su Le also advised: "Yes, senior sister, people have worked hard to earn some supplies by themselves, you can't discourage other people's enthusiasm." It's better to earn supplies for myself in the future, and don't suck blood from girls!
Li Chongyu was the only one who didn't understand the sarcasm in these words. He nodded vigorously: "Yes, we should distribute according to work."
It was quite interesting to watch a group of kids arguing with each other. Su Heng didn't say anything, wanting to see what Jiang Miao would say.
The teasing look in his eyes was too obvious, and Jiang Miao didn't want to let him laugh at her as he wished.
"No, he doesn't need these supplies."
"Senior!"
Su Le knew that the senior sister must be worried about the little Taoist priest and would not want to take more. But if the senior sister didn't take any, she would have to use her own supplies to feed two people. How could that be enough!
She gritted her teeth and said, "I suggest that we divide the supplies into five parts, and give one part to this Taoist priest."
Su Le didn't know what to call him, so he just followed Li Chongyu's way of addressing him.
Fang Yang didn't say anything, but his expression showed recognition and approval.
"..." Jiang Miao felt like he was in a dilemma when things turned out like this. It was impossible for him to just tell them directly that Su Heng didn't want to eat, right?
Besides, even if the five Su Hengs need to eat, she can afford to feed them now, so there is really no need to take away some of the supplies from them.
"You guys keep him." Jiang Miao put on a cold face and wanted to make the final decision, "We can't let him develop the bad habit of coming out to earn supplies. If we keep him, he will become a gigolo who eats soft rice."
The scene was silent.
Instantly, Su Le realized what was happening and immediately raised his thumb: "Senior sister is awesome, a role model for us!"
Look at this pretty boy, he looks like a decent person. The senior sister is beautiful, capable, and strong in martial arts. What's wrong with raising a canary for fun?
Very reasonable.
Therefore, we cannot put the supplies into the canary's pocket, lest his appetite be enlarged.
