Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Blatant Robbery

"Sister Yuan, what are you looking at?"

Ye Mianmian was somewhat curious, but the hole was so tiny, she couldn’t squeeze by as long as Jhiang Yuan was there.

"I’m checking the supermarket we visited this morning, wondering if there will still be people there at night."

"Oh!"

She wasn’t particularly interested, so she didn’t ask further.

It was very dark around, and Song Yi’s car couldn’t go too fast.

The road was rough, and with such heavy cargo, even skilled driving was of no help.

"Tsk tsk..."

"What’s up, Sister Yuan?"

Jhiang Yuan closed the small hole, as the wind howled fiercely outside.

"That owner really has guts, he’s actually there at night, my God, he even turned on the lights."

That was practically courting death!

"Damn, he’s really brave."

"Isn’t he? I bet the generator is noisy too."

Jhiang Yuan was quietly worried. She guessed the owner thought business could go on as usual.

He was probably ready for a big score, hoping to make some money. Well, good luck to him.

They quickly reached the green belt at the fork in the road.

The group got out, first took down the planks, and then loaded up the liquefied gas cylinders.

One plank could hold about ten cylinders.

There were four planks in total. Song Yi came out, tied two large ones together, and then placed thirty liquefied gas cylinders on top.

"I’ll go back first with Zhang Kaiyang. You two wait here.

If you come across other people, hide, understand?"

"Yeah, don’t worry, we can handle it.

But the two of you, with so much stuff, be extra careful."

"No worries, if someone asks, we’ll say we bought the goods from the supermarket above."

Huh, this tactic of misdirection felt somewhat underhanded.

Jhiang Yuan secretly sweated for the supermarket owner. She was truly sorry.

The two of them set off quickly. The planks reduced friction.

Though this made them faster, the load was still too heavy, and moving forwards was considerably strenuous.

Furthermore, their pace was not very fast.

Watching the two figures gradually vanish from sight, Jhiang Yuan looked at Ye Mianmian and posed a soul-searching question.

"Mianmian, I don’t think we should just sit here and wait for doom."

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Mianmian suddenly felt like a little bunny that had been duped by the big bad wolf, while Jhiang Yuan’s smile didn’t fade.

Three minutes later, the two women took out the remaining two planks.

Then they began laboriously transferring the remaining liquefied gas cylinders. Alright, the strength of these manly women was not to be underestimated.

There was no ice where the car had parked, so they needed to move the goods about twenty meters downhill.

Jhiang Yuan wanted to tie the two planks together, but there was no rope left. There were items in the space that could be used, but she didn’t dare take them out.

"Mianmian, can you handle one on your own?"

"No problem, Sister Yuan. I don’t see this as any different from an ice cart you use for skating."

Exactly, almost the same thing. Since that was the case, it was settled.

There were fifteen cylinders left. Jhiang Yuan placed eight on her side, Ye Mianmian placed seven.

There were also two bags of scavenged items that they placed on Mianmian’s plank.

When they got to the icy surface and were ready to move, Jhiang Yuan repeated her old trick.

She went back to collect the goods into the space; the car had plenty of room. With some modifications, it could even serve as an RV.

How could they just abandon it here? That would be such a waste.

The makeshift ice cone was not very effective, but it was still somewhat usable.

Much more convenient than walking. Energy was limited, and the cold weather made it quite difficult.

Luckily, their community wasn’t far, and the route was mostly downhill.

Jhiang Yuan led the way, with Ye Mianmian following behind.

One in front and one behind, they were quite harmonious.

And there was only this one road to get back, so there was no fear of missing Song Yi and the others.

In about forty minutes or so, they had reached the small gate on the side of Building 15.

"Sister Yuan, this is too small, I can’t get in!"

Indeed, it was just a passageway for people.

"Move!"

At this moment, they couldn’t dawdle, and it was not possible to go to the main gate at the front and be seen by so many people!

Too conspicuous, absolutely not.

Jhiang Yuan was the first to move, and Ye Mianmian hurriedly followed, the two of them first moving the liquefied gas tanks inside, then the wooden boards.

After everything was moved over, they placed the cans on the boards, pulled them back, or slid them back, which would be very convenient.

Nor did the two dare to operate in the dark, as it was pitch black, to the extent where you couldn’t see your own fingers, and there was a bit of noise.

Just as they had finished setting everything up, sweating profusely, they had to pass this row of buildings, and then they would be at Building 13.

Victory was in sight, but there was someone who just had to get in the way.

Out of Building 15, someone appeared unexpectedly.

They crossed through their only path, effectively cutting them off.

And the figure emerged so quickly, she didn’t even have time to react.

The person grabbed a tank of liquefied gas and ran, with Jhiang Yuan’s explosive temper flaring up.

"Stop, ouch..."

It was too slippery, and she fell straight out, sliding a distance.

The other person probably hadn’t realized how heavy these things were, as they usually used natural gas and rarely came into contact with these tanks.

Ye Mianmian couldn’t stand by either, chasing after the thief, and seeing Jhiang Yuan fall, she tried to help her up.

The thief wasn’t running fast, so she picked up the ice cone from the ground and threw it at them.

"Ah!"

Unexpectedly, it hit the person right in the back of the head.

At that moment, while still clutching their head, they turned to look back at them.

It wasn’t a great distance, and Jhiang Yuan slid smoothly over, another ice cone in her hand.

The front was studded with nails, those that were quite long and thick.

She struck out instantly, and in the assailant’s panic, they tried to dodge backward.

Ye Mianmian seized the moment to squat down, snatch back the can, and with a small bottle of anti-wolf spray in her right hand, she was ready to show off her moves.

But after pressing it several times, there was no response.

"Damn, it’s frozen."

Alright, high-end combat often requires the most basic methods.

Jhiang Yuan brandished the ice cone, putting all her strength into it, the thief unable to dodge in time.

With a "snap," the stick unexpectedly broke.

Great, that was an arm-thick stick and the shock made her hand hurt.

The man also fell to the ground, his curse not even having the chance to come out before an unintended "ah" escaped him.

"Sister Yuan, what do we do?"

"Never mind him, he’ll freeze to death; let’s hurry and leave before anything else happens."

Such a short distance, and trouble had already arisen; who knows how many people might have been alerted just now.

Fortunately, the two of them were well-wrapped and weren’t worried about any complications.

Without the ice cone, they could only drag their load and move forward.

It seemed that Song Yi and Zhang Kaiyang had run into trouble at the entrance; they hadn’t moved, and there was a light shinning over there.

Leaving their goods here was out of the question, they had to steel themselves and push on.

"Mianmian, pick up the pace."

Jhiang Yuan was getting anxious and hurried forward.

"Brother, don’t be so petty, we’re all in this together; we can buy it and return it to you tomorrow."
