Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Reversal

Song Yi didn’t dare to be careless, taking the binoculars and carefully observing the situation over there.

"What’s going on? Sister Yuan, why did you stop talking halfway?"

Zhang Kaiyang was somewhat perplexed, the only binoculars still in Song Yi’s hands, unaware of what had happened.

"Not good, we need to hurry back!"

No sooner had Song Yi finished speaking than he became cautious, but the three of them had yet to move.

There was a commotion from the small square and Jhiang Yuan quickly took the binoculars to look over there.

All they saw was a person getting off a large truck, gesturing grandly, most likely a leader.

"What’s going on? Why are they making everyone kneel down?"

Jhiang Yuan, watching the situation unfold before her, felt her heart tighten, as it was quite a horrifying sight.

The people over there said something unknowable, but it was definitely not anything good, as the person in front was kicked down.

Then, someone who came over to argue was beaten by three in "camouflage clothing" while the rest of the people were indifferent, shivering even more.

After that, they all knelt down in succession.

"Hahaha..."

The laughter of the person in charge was too ferocious, they could hear it from here, followed by frightened gasps.

That person was wearing big leather boots, which combined with the laughter, made Jhiang Yuan’s scalp tingle.

"Song Yi, this guy looks like the group from the supermarket earlier.

They’re really fake, having stolen everyone’s supplies and now controlling them."

The subsequent situation was easy to predict, this group was surely in for no good outcome.

As prisoners at the foot of the steps, what good could they expect?

"Bad news, some people are running over here."

Yes, taking advantage of the guard’s inattention, two men had taken the chance to escape.

"Damn it, stop right there..."

The group in "camouflage clothing" reeked of banditry, brandishing a Tang Sword and giving chase immediately.

"They’re heading this way, what do we do?"

Jhiang Yuan started to panic, just wanting to come over and understand the situation, but ended up running into a fake rescue team.

Now, there was even a risk to their lives.

"Move it!"

Song Yi, viewing the unfolding scene, was very tense as well.

The small square was in chaos, and those who escaped would obviously choose their own homes first.

As for which building they were from, no one could say for sure.

If someone from Building 13 was involved and caught the attention of that group, there would be trouble.

They still needed to get home, and if they didn’t leave now, they feared there would be no chance later.

The three didn’t dare to delay, sprinting south directly from that spot to the eastern side of the building across the way, then heading towards Building 13.

Normally, it would have taken less than a minute to walk there, but now they needed to avoid this group of people, and the difficulty had greatly increased.

"There really are some from this side, hurry!"

Zhang Kaiyang shouted because people from the opposite side had already started running over.

Unsure if they were from Building 12 or Building 13, one thing was certain—it wasn’t good news for them.

The "camouflage clothing" guards were also relentlessly pursing them.

"Damn, they’re from Building 13!"

Jhiang Yuan was fuming inside, aggravated by their atrocious luck.

"Fast!"

Fortunately, they were quick, reaching the base of the building first, with the other people still not having arrived yet.

However, there was only a short distance left.

"Brother Song, they’ve locked the door to the building."

Zhang Kaiyang was the first to arrive, only to discover that the entry to the seventh floor had been locked up.

Because all the glass had shattered before, now someone had gotten hold of a particularly thick iron chain and used it to seal off the positions where the glass had been in the hallway, crisscrossing it all over.

Although there were gaps, it was absolutely impossible for a normal adult to get through.

"Clang, clang..."

Zhang Kaiyang, infuriated, kicked at it twice; the chain was thick and only swayed slightly, accomplishing nothing at all.

"What do we do?"

They hadn’t noticed when those people had set this up, but it seemed they had come prepared.

In the adjacent building, the same thing must have happened, leaving the residents wanting to return home stunned while more "camouflage clothing" arrived relentlessly.

The two groups immediately started fighting each other, but since they lacked proper weapons and the other group fought desperately as if their lives didn’t matter,

landing fierce blows, the outcome was clear in an instant.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t have time to watch others; people from Building 13 also ran over.

Seeing Song Yi and Zhang Kaiyang dealing with the iron chain, they too were shocked.

When someone from behind swung a knife at her, Jhiang Yuan met them with her Tang Sword drawn.

After that person died, it would be their turn.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend; they had to help, especially at a critical moment like this.

Those few in "camouflage clothing" hadn’t expected to be ambushed by an unexpectedly strong fighter.

After cursing twice, they no longer dared to underestimate the situation.

Song Yi would give Jhiang Yuan guidance whenever he could, which had greatly improved her swordsmanship.

She could handle two or three people with ease.

However, these were no ordinary opponents; they were reckless and fought with disregard for their lives.

Her strength was limited, and when three of them attacked at once, she struggled.

The person being pursued managed to grab a wooden stick from somewhere.

"Ahh..."

They struck directly at a "camouflage clothing" guard’s back, causing him pain.

Grimacing with bared teeth, as he turned around, his entire demeanor changed: "I’ll fuck your mother..."

He yelled, shifting his target.

The man was obviously terrified and utterly unable to block a massive machete.

Just as the blade was about to cleave into his face, the "camouflage clothing" guard suddenly let out a cry.

Jhiang Yuan was struggling to fight off two, and it was Song Yi who had thrown her a pebble.

"Who the fuck ambushed me..."

Fury filled the air, taking over all other sounds.

From what it looked like over there, things weren’t good, so Song Yi drew his own dagger and came over to help her.

As expected of a professional, he took down one enemy immediately and the remaining assailant fell shortly after.

Jhiang Yuan was panting heavily, surprised at how easily he had handled them, and gave him a thumbs up.

Zhang Kaiyang was still flustered. If it were a technical job like picking a lock, he wouldn’t have been afraid,

but he found himself stumped by such a primitive challenge.

Mainly because the chains were tangled so messily that he couldn’t figure it out.

No sooner had they resolved this situation, someone from across the way ran towards them, heading for Building 13.

"Damn it!"

Jhiang Yuan cursed under her breath, feeling uneasy—if they kept getting tangled up like this,

it would disturb people from the other side, which would not be to their advantage.

Even though Song Yi was a strong fighter, two hands can’t fend off four fists, and who knew if they had other weapons.

Without time to think further, she quickly assisted the man, taking care of the "camouflage clothing" guards behind him.

This time, one person was pursuing, but Jhiang Yuan took them by surprise, with her Tang Sword flashing out of its sheath rapidly.

A single strike was lethal, and she felt awesomely cool!

"Is it you guys? Can’t get in here, huh?"
