Arriving with his brothers in high spirits, they never expected that more than half of them would lose, while not a single one from the 18th floor died.

Could it be that they really have superhuman abilities?

Brother Kun is still waiting for me to bring back heads from the 18th floor to celebrate his birthday!

“You two go find some dry wooden stakes; I’m going to blast open this door today.”

The two lackeys immediately complied, hurriedly running downstairs.

Huo Yishen exchanged glances with Jiang Ning, three, two, one!

Jiang Ning signaled acknowledgment.

So, as the two lackeys continued downstairs after rushing down to the 14th floor, the two suddenly dashed out from the corridor.

The taller one was dealt with by Huo Yishen, while the shorter one was handed over to Jiang Ning.

She hadn’t used real force before, but she practiced by grabbing Huo Yishen’s neck before, and Jiang Ning was extremely familiar with the human skeletal structure.

With their first move, it was swift and clean.

In the blink of an eye, two necks were twisted.

Dragging them into the corridor, they searched them for weapons and bullets; they were even taking their identification cards.

There were still five people upstairs. Huo Yishen loaded his magazine, indicating he would take the lead, and Jiang Ning would back him up.

The first line is to charge, and the backup line is to protect the safety of their teammates. They only take action when they are in danger, so as not to disrupt the rhythm of the charge.

Jiang Ning made an “OK” gesture.

So, the two quietly moved upstairs.

The leading boss was annoyed; he took out a cigarette from his pocket, and the lackey beside him quickly lit it with a match.

One stood at the stairwell, while the other two were kicking the door on the 16th floor, hoping that the survivors inside would open the electrically insulated stainless steel door.

The survivors weren’t foolish enough to open the door for them; even with guns, the lackey at the stairwell was standing in a relaxed manner.

By the time they realized something was amiss, they didn’t even have a chance to speak before a bullet pierced their foreheads.

The four quickly fell back to defend, but compared to Huo Yishen, who had received professional training and had been on missions for years, they were all amateurs.

Before they could even pull the trigger, they were taken out by four extremely precise bullets.

Jiang Ning, who was taking cover, “…”

As the gunshots rang out, there was commotion upstairs and the sound of footsteps.

Afraid of misunderstanding their own people, Jiang Ning quickly chirped, “Weili?”

“Anning?”

Zheng Weili was surprised, “Are you guys okay?”

“We’re fine; we’ve taken care of everyone.”

Zheng Weili and Lu Yu came down with guns. Seeing Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen standing at the stairwell, she quickly switched off the light switch, “What’s going on?”

It wasn’t a suitable place to talk; Jiang Ning disarmed them of their weapons, bullets, cigarettes, watches, and so on.

As they headed upstairs, she finally spoke, “Today is the leader of the Dragon Slaying Society’s birthday. Someone wanted to bring our heads as a gift.”

With the danger resolved, Zhang Chao came down from the rooftop. Having taken out one person, he walked with an air of pride, “Anning, did you see your brother’s amazing shooting skills?”

Jiang Ning wasn’t in the mood to deal with him; she had more important matters to discuss.

“With a dozen people attacking this time and shooting directly, it won’t be so simple next time.”

If these people wanted to establish their dominance, they had to take heads from the 18th floor.

Jiang Ning looked at Huo Yishen, “Today is the leader’s birthday party. We also encountered their relief supplies. Many of the lackeys have gone out to collect protection money. Their defense should be at its weakest.”

Huo Yishen’s expression was serious, “Today is indeed the best opportunity.”

Zheng Weili worried, “But we only have five people, and they have at least a few hundred.”

Direct confrontation would only lead to death; Jiang Ning suggested, “We can’t confront them head-on; we can only outsmart them.”

Huo Yishen dropped a bombshell, “Capture the ringleader first; if we kill the leader of the Dragon Slaying Society, those below will fight for power, and no one will care about the 18th floor anymore.”

The two of them thought about it and made a decision while looking at each other.

One wave after another, Zheng Weili had enough, “Fine, then let’s leave it to fate, just charge in and get it done.”

“They’ve been out for a while without returning; who knows if there’s another wave coming. You guys stay and guard the 18th floor, I’ll sneak in with Huo Yishen to see if there’s an opportunity.”

Zheng Weili was worried, “No, it’s too dangerous for just you two.”

Huo Yishen spoke up, “With more people, it’s actually easier to get caught.”

Jiang Ning agreed. 1803 didn’t have bulletproof vests, Zheng Weili was strong in combat, but shooting wasn’t her specialty, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu weren’t particularly fit; it would be more trouble if they were caught.

Only she and Huo Yishen can do it, even if they couldn’t win. They could still hide in the space.

With more people, there would be a lot of concern. The secret has been exposed once, and it will be really troublesome if it is exposed again.

If there was a choice, she didn’t want to aim her weapons at them.

Seeing that they were being excluded, Zhang Chao pulled out his gun, “I won’t hold you back, but take this with you.”

Jiang Ning didn’t lack this now; she had thrown away all the guns she had just picked up into the space.

“No need, I took some from them earlier; you guys keep it for self-defense.”

There was no time to waste; action was needed.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, they must take this gamble.

Zheng Weili suddenly hugged Jiang Ning, “Anning, you must come back safe and sound.”

Zhang Chao and Lu Yu also hugged her, “Anning, not a single hair can be missing!”

“I’ll do my best.”

Jiang Ning didn’t like this tragic feeling, as if she were going to her death.

However, it was indeed a life-and-death situation.

As they descended the stairs, Jiang Ning handed two guns to Huo Yishen and grabbed a handful of bullets.

It was illegally made, and they didn’t feel particularly comfortable to use, but it was better than having nothing.

Huo Yishen took them and also gave her two smoke bombs.

The outer shell was made of a soda can, and it was obviously homemade; he seemed to be able to do everything.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel emotional; it wasn’t easy to survive in the apocalypse.

Exiting the building, the two headed towards Lian Haoteng Court.

Who wasn’t afraid of death, Jiang Ning hoped their morning’s investigation wasn’t wrong, and they could hitch a ride on the way.

However, their ideals were abundant, but reality was skinny.

Lian Haoteng Court was calm and peaceful.

She looked at Huo Yishen with a hint of doubt.

This shouldn’t be; this time should be the liveliest moment of the birthday party.

If you don’t go in when the enemy is most relaxed, it would make it difficult to find another opportunity.

On the way here, Jiang Ning heard survivors complaining that the relief supply truck had broken down on the road, causing them to come out early to queue up and still not receive any supplies.

Relief supplies were divided by region, and they were referring to the neighborhood committee where Lian Haoteng was located.

Delaying with this excuse could work, but dragging it out too long would raise suspicions.

Was there a mistake?

Huo Yishen frowned; he keenly noticed that the surveillance was still there, but he couldn’t figure out why there hadn’t been any action yet.

Jiang Ning asked, “Are we still going in?”

“Let’s go in first and see how things develop.”

So, the two headed towards the west gate.

Jiang Ning was a bit worried, “You’re too tall, will you be recognized?”

“No, there are taller people inside.”

He had observed for a few days; the most people came in and out through the west gate, and there were many tall figures.

And the gatekeeper was fond of sneaking a drink at noon and was relatively lazy.

Having just experienced a tough situation, neither of them flinched, their faces calm as they walked towards the gate, showing the round-shaped ornaments.

In the frigid weather, everyone was bundled up in thick clothes, scarves, and hats, only their eyes visible; nothing else could be seen.

The gatekeeper nodded, waiting for the two to give the secret signal.
