Chapter 192: Arrested
Looking outside, Long Yu and the others saw Lu Hong directing over a hundred people to form a team.
Holding various weapons, they approached the apartment buildings to collect supplies from the survivors. Behind them, a group of thin men pushed empty carts. With great momentum, they climbed into the building.
Soon, screams and cries echoed through the previously silent surroundings.
Listening to the panicked screams and begging voices from the survivors, Long Yu clenched his fists. He turned to look at Quan Yuanwei and said, "Brother Quan, you should head back first."
Quan Yuanwei nodded and hurriedly returned home.
Long Yu then looked at Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi and said, "Zhihui, Qiqi, the two of you will stay here and guard the 20th floor."
Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi nodded and went to retrieve their weapons.
Long Yu then turned to Shi Xuan and Jia Xiang and said, "The three of us will go down and deal with Lu Hong and his men."
"Yes, Captain," they responded.
After giving the orders, Long Yu looked at Yao Ran and Huang Qian. "Ran Ran, A Qian, you two will support us."
Yao Ran nodded. "Alright."
Huang Qian grinned and said, "Leave it to me, Captain."
After dividing the tasks, everyone quickly took their positions.
While Huang Qian went to get his sniper rifle, Yao Ran returned to her apartment. She put
away her backpack and retrieved her sniper rifle from her space. Carrying the long black case, Yao Ran left her apartment and went to the rooftop.
Seeing that Huang Qian was already there assembling his sniper rifle, she quickly found a position and did the same.
Once they were ready, Huang Qian took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and said, "Captain, we're ready."
A second later, Long Yu's voice came through the walkie-talkie, "Got it."
Meanwhile, Lu Hong and his men were busy collecting the protection grains. When the survivors saw more than ten men approaching with weapons, they quickly closed and locked their doors.
Upon seeing this, one of the men angrily kicked the doors, scaring the survivors into silence.
"Open the door! You'd better pay the protection grains obediently. Otherwise, we'll show you why the flower is red!"
After the man finished threatening the people behind the door, someone finally opened it.
Seeing this, the man sneered and spat on the ground. "Bah! You all need to be beaten before you learn obedience."
Just as he finished speaking, the person who opened the door grabbed his arm, twisted it, and forced him to the ground.
Before the man could react, the person pressed a small black earpiece on his right ear and said, "Do it now."
A few seconds later, the man regained his senses but realized the soldier already handcuffed him. When he struggled to free himself, the soldier struck the side of his neck, knocking him
out.
Thud!
The man fainted, and the soldier stood up. He looked at the survivors inside the apartment and said, "Don't be afraid. The military sent us to apprehend them. Lock your door and wait for further instructions."
The family in the apartment was shocked to learn the man they had helped the previous day was a soldier in disguise. The middle-aged man quickly nodded and locked the door.
With one soldier leading, the others quickly sprang into action. Soon, the ones screaming were no longer the survivors but Lu Hong's men.
Observing the situation from the rooftop, Huang Qian whistled, took out the walkie-talkie, and said, "Captain, it seems we won't need to intervene. The soldiers have already subdued most of Lu Hong's men."
Long Yu responded, "What about Lu Hong?"
Huang Qian scanned the area through his sniper scope and saw Lu Hong trying to sneak away. He loaded his sniper rifle and said, "He's trying to run. Should I stop him?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
A second later, Long Yu's voice came through, "Yes."
Excited at being given permission to fire, Huang Qian licked his lips, aimed at Lu Hong's thigh, and pulled the trigger.
Psyiu-
The bullet flew toward Lu Hong and struck the back of his thigh, passing through and leaving a bloody hole.
"Ah!"
Lu Hong screamed in pain and fell to the snow, alerting the nearby soldiers. When they saw him standing and trying to flee, blood pouring from his leg, they realized he was one of their
targets.
One soldier threw the gangster he had tied up to his comrade and chased after Lu Hong. Aiming his gun, he shouted, "Stop!"
Lu Hong glanced back and saw the soldier still chasing him. Gritting his teeth, he tried to run
faster.
Seeing that Lu Hong wasn't stopping, the soldier shouted, "I'll shoot if you don't stop!"
After waiting for three seconds, the soldier pulled the trigger and shot Lu Hong's other thigh.
Bang!
The bullet hit its target, and Lu Hong screamed in pain. "Akh!"
With both of his thighs shot, he couldn't run anymore. When the soldier grabbed his arm, Lu
Hong still tried to crawl away.
Seeing this, the soldier's eyes turned cold, and he quickly handcuffed Lu Hong's hands. He
dragged him up and walked toward the other soldiers.
Before long, two military trucks arrived at the Ling Yuan apartment complex. As the first truck stopped, soldiers got out and helped their comrades subdue Lu Hong and his men.
A few minutes later, the soldiers had already pushed the criminals into the trucks and confiscated their weapons while half of them chased those who fled.
Once they had captured all the criminals, one of the soldiers took a megaphone and said, "To all residents of the Ling Yuan apartment complex, please do not hand over your supplies to the criminals. Keep your doors closed until we have apprehended all of them. Stay safe and follow our instructions."
After repeating this message twice, the soldiers began sweeping the apartment buildings, checking door-to-door.
Seeing this, Long Yu, Shi Xuan, and Jia Xiang decided to return home. On the rooftop, Yao Ran and Huang Qian packed up their sniper rifles and went downstairs.
