Chapter 207 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 37
This time, Chen Dalong chose to attack in the middle of the night—no, it should be called a sneak attack.
On a dark and windy night, with the sky as black as ink, it was impossible to tell where the villa was. After suffering repeated setbacks, Chen Dalong finally gave up the idea of a direct attack.
He decided to launch a night raid on the suburban villa!
Chen Dalong looked at the dozen or so men who were still alive under his command. In fact, there were many small gangs in the city, and some even had more members, but Chen Dalong was unwilling to join forces with others to attack the villa. He wanted to take it all for himself.
He lowered his voice, made a desperate gamble, and spoke sharply.
"Listen up, everyone! That woman probably thinks we're out of options, tonight is our chance!"
The wall is high, and there's an electric fence on top; we won't touch it!
Third brother, take a few men, stack those empty wooden crates we brought, and form a human ladder to climb over! Once we're in the yard, we can loosen the latch from the inside, and the gate is ours!
The third brother, whose name was mentioned, felt uneasy. Just looking at that wall made him dizzy; it was so high! What kind of good person would build such a high wall? It's obviously a fortress!
But he dared not disobey, after all, he was the only electrician in the team, and if he became useless, Chen Dalong would not let him off the hook, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.
Meanwhile, in the villa's underground monitoring room.
"Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep—"
Once the noise at the main gate is detected by the surveillance cameras, an alarm will sound, waking up Shen Dabao and Shen Ci, who are usually asleep.
Shen Ci sat up abruptly from the bed and quickly went to check the surveillance footage. In the darkness, under infrared night vision mode, several very obvious figures were seen sneaking around in the night.
Only those who witnessed it knew how clear these people's movements were; in a mass of black, a few red figures stood out remarkably.
They were busy doing something under the side wall of the villa, stacking several wooden crates together as if they were playing a game.
Shen Ci, who was still half asleep, woke up. They weren't planning to climb in by stacking boxes, were they? They could at least have used a ladder!
"Mom, they're trying to climb in!"
Da Bao also woke up, took the tablet, opened the door and came in, pointing at the screen. His little face showed no fear, only vigilance.
"Hmm, they've gotten a bit smarter trying to build a human ladder, now they know to avoid the electric fence."
The two quietly moved to a better vantage point, where the view was excellent, directly facing the wall they wanted to climb over.
Shen Ci checked the tranquilizer crossbows; they were all filled with poison. The main reason was that there was more anesthetic in stock, so why not use it? Besides, anesthetic could silence the enemy quickly and prevent them from attracting zombies.
Da Bao stared intently at the stacked wooden crates on the monitor, his eyes shining with anticipation. He tugged at Chen Ci's sleeve and said expectantly.
"Mom, can I try?"
I feel like my superpower has improved a bit recently, and I want to try if I can make their boxes disappear!
Da Bao is no longer afraid of facing danger; on the contrary, he dares to step out of his comfort zone. However, he never acts rashly and only tries things he is confident in.
"Okay, be careful and do what you can."
We have many ways to handle this without hurting ourselves, and if we can't manage, Mom will be there for us!
Outside the wall, the third brother had already stepped shakily onto two stacked wooden crates. Two people below were supporting him. He stretched out his hand and could barely reach the top of the wall. He was overjoyed, thinking that he only needed to put one more crate on to get up.
Why not use a ladder? Because there aren't any ladders tall enough, and it's not convenient for several people to stand on a ladder. Anyway, whatever Brother Long decides, they can only obey and do as he says.
Obedience may not bring any rewards or benefits, but disobedience will definitely be punished.
The third brother finally managed to climb up, and the wooden crates were stacked very high in a long string. At this moment, the people below finally took out a ladder more than a meter long and placed it on the crates.
"There's more if that's not enough, hurry up and climb up."
It turns out there was a ladder, not a ladder; the ladder was waiting right here!
With the box at the bottom and the ladder at the top, the third brother was very unwilling, but he had nowhere to retreat and could only grit his teeth and climb up.
Just as he climbed to the top of the wall, the others followed. He was the one who went first to scout ahead, and the third brother was on the verge of tears.
The distance was perfect! Da Bao stared intently at the person on the wall through the window. He could feel that the distance was within his control, within the range of his superpower, which allowed him to see straight-line distances.
Concentrate, collect! He reached out and grabbed at the air in that direction, and the wooden box vanished in the next second, disappearing into thin air right before everyone's eyes!
"The box, where's the box?!" The man who had been carrying the box looked at his empty hands and was dumbfounded.
Before they could even react, something even more terrifying happened: the two wooden crates that had been underneath them vanished in a flash!
"A ghost! Aaaaaah!!"
"A ghost!"
Losing his support, the third brother let out a blood-curdling scream and fell backward from a height of nearly three meters!
"Ouch!"
The two people supporting the box below were also knocked down by this sudden change, falling together like a human pyramid. The cracking sound of bones breaking was particularly clear, mixed with their screams.
In the darkness, these sounds were exceptionally loud and clear.
"Now!"
Shen Ci pulled the trigger without even blinking.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The tranquilizer darts struck the group of men who had rolled together, and those who were screaming in agony quickly fell silent.
"What happened?! What's going on?!"
Chen Dalong, who was overseeing the battle from a distance, was both shocked and furious. He didn't even see how the box disappeared; he only saw several people fall down, screaming in pain, but they were gone after only a few cries.
A bunch of good-for-nothings, good for nothing but food.
He refused to believe in superstition, so he sent people over to check the situation while directing another group of people to bring over long ladders that were intended for fire attacks and suppressive fire.
"Quick! Set up the ladder! Archers, get ready!"
He had made a complete plan this time, bringing the most weapons and manpower. He was determined to take the victory! He even deliberately chose the middle of the night, a time when he was less likely to be discovered!
Before the words were even finished, another gruesome scene unfolded.
The long ladder that had just been placed against the wall disappeared in a flash, vanishing into thin air!
The person carrying the ladder fell forward due to inertia and landed face-first in the dirt.
"The ladder! The ladder! Brother Long! The ladder's gone too! It's a ghost! It's a real ghost!"
The men were terrified, their faces drained of color. They retreated hastily, their eyes filled with fear as they stared at the villa. Good heavens, there really is a ghost!
The repeated failures, and the bizarre way they happened, and it was still the middle of the night, the time when ghosts roam, that made the remaining people so scared that their legs were trembling.
How many people who grow up in civilized society are not afraid of ghosts? And even among those who are not afraid of ghosts, how many are not afraid in the middle of the night?
