Chapter 51: Super Mold 15
You Che’s view wasn’t as good as Chu Yian’s, but he could see many nooks and crannies of the Residential Area. The eight men clearly had ill intentions, sneaking in where the visibility was poor.
And these men were very clever.
They didn’t enter the Residential Area directly but instead loitered beneath each unit building. To be precise, they weren’t loitering; they were searching for targets.
The trash downstairs was a side indicator of the residents’ stored supplies in each building.
Who had more supplies and who had fewer could be seen from this trash.
“Brother, I’m telling you, the people living here are really well-off!”
One of the shorter men said while sifting through the trash. Although the trash had a thick layer of mold, their original shapes still allowed for guessing what these items once were.
“They even have meat to eat!”
He ignored the stench of rotting food, picking up a bone already covered in mold. “I think this building is it. The residents inside are definitely well-off!”
The leader was a man in a black trench coat. Sunglasses, a mask, and full gear made his face unidentifiable.
Unlike the others who were rummaging through trash, he stood far away. Hearing the report from his subordinate, he looked towards the building where Chu Yian and her group were.
However, the report from the other side was even more enticing.
“Damn it! Brother, the people in this building must be even richer; someone actually threw food directly away!”
The subordinate excitedly showed off half a pack of moldy biscuits he found in the trash.
These biscuits were very well-sealed food, and even if it was just one or two pieces, wasting food was a cardinal sin. Moreover, what they found in the trash was not only moldy biscuits but also apple cores and watermelon rinds that were almost unrecognizable.
Comparing the trash from the two buildings, the other one clearly had more value for robbery.
However, just then, a window in a household in Chu Yian’s Residential Area suddenly opened. A child suddenly poked his head out, holding a trash bag, and deliberately threw it towards where the crowd was.
Splat!
The trash bag instantly burst open.
Although the trash didn’t hit anyone, the juices splattered onto the leader, carrying a strong foul odor.
“Hahahahaha.”
The child clapped excitedly upstairs, seeing this scene.
The leader in the trench coat took off his glasses and smiled at the child.
“Hahahahaha, you idiot.”
The child made a face at the man in the trench coat, then turned around to get his water gun, continuing to shoot at the men downstairs, “Biubiubiu, die, you stinky beggars…”
“Yaozong, what are you doing in your room alone?”
The adult heard the child’s laughter and ran in to check, only to find the child spraying water at the strange men downstairs. The boy’s mother was startled, glanced at the people downstairs, and quickly closed the window and drew the curtains.
“Mom, block the door. Someone ran downstairs to our building, and Yaozong just sprayed water at them.”
The boy’s mother said, snatching the water gun from his hand, “Didn’t Mama tell you early on not to open the window casually and not to spray water downstairs?!”
The boy listened to his mother’s scolding and hugged his grandma, wailing.
“Oh, what does a child understand?”
The boy’s grandma protectively stood in front of the boy, “He’s such a big person, he looks stupid to death, he didn’t know to get out of the way.”
The boy’s grandma said this, picking up the boy and gently stroking him in her arms, “Why are you so fierce? You scared our Yaozong; can he afford to pay for that…”
The adults upstairs were still defending the child’s actions, but the men downstairs had already focused their target on this building.
Counting from bottom to top, the child was exactly on the eighth floor… [Little You next door: Holy crap, they’re here, they’re here, they’ve entered the Residential Area.]
[Little You next door: All eight of them are carrying steel pipes and knives. It seems they pried open the lock on the main gate.]
[Little You next door: Uncle Chu, they’ve all come in. Holy crap, can our door block them?!”
Chu Yian watched his messages while pressing close to the window, looking down.
Unfortunately, due to the angle, she couldn’t see anything.
[Chu Da: Don’t panic. We’re on the sixteenth floor. Even if they rob, they won’t reach us for now.]
She sent a message to You Che, then scrolled up through the chat history, simultaneously searching for “Kui Mountain Research Institute.”
Found it!
She began to search for the geographical location of the Kui Mountain Research Institute and all related information, taking a piece of paper to make notes. In all her records, the Axi Dimi Mountains in X City appeared most frequently.
Chu Yian circled this name in red.
Axi Dimi Mountains!
She opened her phone map, isolating the map of X City. The current problem was where this survival zone was located within the Axi Dimi Mountains.
Just as she was trying to find more information, cries for help suddenly came from downstairs.
“Bastards, let go of my grandson!”
“Help, they’re killing people!”
…The eighth-floor window was pushed open, and a child was held out of the window by a pair of hands. The child cried hysterically, struggling violently, still calling for his grandma.
Then,
The hands let go.
The child fell from the eighth floor; his body became twisted, blood mixed with brain matter splattering everywhere.
“Yaozong, our Yaozong!”
“I’ll fight you all!”
“Mom!”
The family’s desperate screams came from inside the house. After about ten minutes, the Residential Area returned to silence. At this time, in another household on the eighth floor, in trepidation, the house door was knocked… Robbers who had committed murder and those who hadn’t were different.
Chu Yian had been a bit reluctant to part with the food in her house, but now, for her, sacrificing the small to preserve the large was the correct choice.
Thinking of this, she first sent a message to Little You next door.
[Chu Da: Is your vehicle manufacturer usable right now?]
[Little You next door: Yes, yes, I haven’t used it these past few days.]
[Chu Da: Good! Pack your things, and keep an eye on those people on the 8th floor. As soon as they leave, we’ll go immediately.]
Chu Yian’s plan was very good, but from daytime until evening, these people still hadn’t left.
Clearly, this group wasn’t the type to hit and run, then come back for another score when food ran out. They seemed to have made this their base, preparing to set up camp here.
This was even more dangerous!
Their next step might be to control the unit building, then control the entire Residential Area. There were abundant supplies here, enough for them to establish a foothold, but the cost might be everyone in this Residential Area.
No more waiting!
Chu Yian put away her treasure box filled with survival supplies, put some things in her backpack to throw them off, grabbed her crossbow, and prepared to meet up with the person next door.
