Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 47: Break Out

"Brother Hu, break the door down."

"Damn it, Brother Hu, where did these people come from? Could it be that Liang Yuan upstairs?"

"How did he know Xiaoqiang lives here?"

Outside the door of 2901, Chen Hu and two others were pounding on the door ferociously.

The three of them lived in 2902, the apartment directly across.

Upon hearing Mao Xiaoqiang’s screams for help, they rushed out immediately.

However, the door to 2901 was tightly locked and wouldn’t budge even after several bashes.

The Zhou family’s main door was made of good materials; there was no way they could break it from the outside.

Moreover, the door didn’t use an electronic lock but an old-fashioned mechanical lock.

This left Chen Hu and the other two anxiously helpless.

Chen Hu was not a resident or tenant of Meidu Garden; he was originally a renovation worker on the fifth floor.

Because of the rush to complete the work, the contractor requested that he stay late, causing him to be trapped in the building.

As Liu Erlong’s close confidant, he was among the first few to participate in the robbery.

Due to years of physical labor, he had considerable strength, and as he wasn’t a resident of Meidu Garden, he was naturally valued by Liu Erlong.

At this moment, Chen Hu was extremely anxious. He asked, "Have you informed Brother Long?"

"Er Zhu went down to inform them, Brother Long and the others should be here soon."

Chen Hu nodded. "Good, let’s not rush. Guard the door, and when Brother Long and the others arrive, none of these people will escape. If they’ve harmed Xiaoqiang, they’re in for a treat."

"Keep bashing the door, don’t stop!"

Chen Hu shouted, and the two beside him continued to bash the door while threatening those inside.

Inside the house, Liang Yuan gripped the handle and counted, "One!"

Cai Zhi and Zhao Kai looked grim, each holding a knife, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat from the tension.

Ding Yan and Old Ma stood behind them, their eyes bulging, their adrenalines pumping.

"Two!"

As Liang Yuan counted to two, he gently turned the door handle.

This door opened outward, so the frantic bashing from the outside only pushed it more securely in place.

"Three!"

Liang Yuan suddenly shouted "Three" and then forcefully pushed the door open.

With great strength, the door banged outward like a giant fan.

Chen Hu and his companions outside were caught off guard and stumbled backward from the impact.

The three of them cried out in pain, and then a dark figure shot out from the doorway.

Before Chen Hu could react, the dark figure raised a short rod and thrust it at him!

"Ugh—!"

The sound of the rod cutting through the air was like a sob, and it stabbed fiercely at the face of the lackey to Chen Hu’s left.

With frenzied force, the rod plunged directly into the head, penetrating at least ten centimeters!

In an instant, the stairwell echoed with screams as the lackey clutched his face, holding onto the embedded steel rod-gun.

Liang Yuan did not pull it out; he turned sharply toward Chen Hu instead.

Chen Hu gasped as he recognized the assailant.

"Liang!"

Liang Yuan’s face was cold; he pushed the wailing lackey aside and raised his left hand, aiming the nail gun.

Chen Hu was spooked, jumping into the stairwell in fright.

Bang, bang, bang...

Three nails shot out from the nail gun.

Chen Hu’s tumble saved him as he fell, twisting his ankle but dodging the three shots.

Liang Yuan frowned as Cai Zhi and Zhao Kai charged out from behind him.

The two of them lunged at the last lackey together.

The lackey, scared by Liang Yuan’s initial onslaught, tried to run upon seeing Cai Zhi and Zhao Kai advancing.

This turn exposed his back, giving Zhao Kai a perfect opportunity.

Zhao Kai, eyes red with rage, remembering his girlfriend’s fate, gave a low roar and pounced like a beast, stabbing his knife into the man’s back.

"Squelch!"

The knife plunged forcefully into the man’s lower back, causing an agonized scream.

The man fell towards the steps, showing how much force Zhao Kai had used.

Cai Zhi, shocked, quickly stepped on the man’s right arm and grabbed for the fire axe in his hand.

The man, in a death struggle, swung the fire axe wildly, screaming, "Ah—ah—!"

Fortunately, Cai Zhi held firm on the arm, preventing the axe from being swung effectively.

Meanwhile, Ding Yan rushed over.

She didn’t assist Cai Zhi but went for the man with the steel rod-gun in his head.

The man had lost his combat power; Ding Yan grabbed the steel rod-gun and used her body weight to press it down hard!

With a squelch, the rod-gun sank further, penetrating the man’s skull deeply.

The man finally fell silent.

Liang Yuan received a system alert: 6 points awarded.

His heart stirred. Did he kill the man, or was it Ding Yan? If he dealt the main damage, does it count as his kill?

With this in mind, he turned immediately to the man still struggling with the fire axe.

Zhao Kai had already climbed up, pinning the man’s body and howling like a beast.

"Brother Cai, kill him, kill him now!"

Cai Zhi, stepping on the man’s arm, felt a chill; he had never killed anyone before, making it hard to act now.

The man, pinned by Zhao Kai, twisted like a pig being slaughtered, screaming.

"Help, help—Brother Long! Brother Hu!"

From the corridor, someone seemed to be peeking, but no one dared to come near.

Seeing the commotion grow, Liang Yuan said nothing, aimed the nail gun at the man’s head, and fired.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three nails pierced the man’s skull.

The man convulsed, his brain function short-circuited, eyes rolling white. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Liang Yuan took a deep breath and fired another shot at the temple.

The nail sank in, and the man went completely still.

"Ding, you killed a mutated creature, gaining 6 points."

Liang Yuan stood up and said sternly to Zhao Kai, "Get up!"

He turned to Cai Zhi, "Brother Cai, take the axe."

Turning back to Ding Yan, he saw she had already retrieved the rod-gun, handing it to him.

Liang Yuan took the rod-gun and looked around; Chen Hu had escaped.

He didn’t pursue but said, "You guys go back first."

Ding Yan quickly asked, "What about you?"

"Mao Xiaoqiang’s house should have supplies; I’ll lock the door and you get the safety rope from my place to retrieve me from the balcony."

Ding Yan became anxious, "Why bother with supplies now, let’s just get out together."

Cai Zhi hastily added, "Liang Yuan, we can get supplies later, let’s go now. Liu Erlong and his crew are coming."

Liang Yuan kept his composure, "No, after this much effort, we have to get some supplies to make it worth the risk."

"Don’t worry, if Liu Erlong tries to break in, I’ll take a few more of his men down. He won’t dare. Go quickly."

Without waiting for their reply, he returned to 2901 and shut the door.

Cai Zhi, Zhao Kai, and Ding Yan exchanged glances.

Cai Zhi couldn’t help but say, "Liang Yuan is... too bold. Let’s go."

Ding Yan hesitated, "Are we really leaving him alone?"

"If he’s confident, we should trust him. Let’s go back and get the safety rope to help him," Cai Zhi urged.

He picked up the axe, glanced at the bodies, and sighed.

Reflecting on the fight, he was disappointed in his performance.

"I’m getting old, lost my edge."

He looked at Zhao Kai, who had retrieved his knife, feeling a mix of emotions, then quickly headed upstairs.

Zhao Kai turned to Ding Yan, "He’s very capable, he’ll be fine."

Ding Yan finally stomped her foot, then thought of something and searched the bodies’ pockets before leaving.

The perilous corridor fell back into silence.
