Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Launching the Attack

Hurried knocking sounds arose, and several people exchanged glances.

"Seems like it’s from 2001, should we open the door?"

Instead of deciding on her own, she asked for everyone’s opinion.

Now that they were all together, with their lives at stake, she absolutely couldn’t make the decision herself.

"Open it!"

Song Yi hammered down the decision, as time was of the essence and they must really be in trouble.

Jhiang Yuan hurried to the door and saw a man from 2001 coming out with a stick, followed by his wife and a little girl of about five years old.

When they saw her come out, they immediately knelt down.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Caught off guard, she was at a loss.

"Jhiang Yuan, the people downstairs are vicious, please let our family of three come up.

Rest assured, all we need is to hide in the stairwell. I can help fight off the bad guys.

Please, let my wife and daughter come up."

What he meant was that he could stay behind, as long as his wife and child were safe.

Jhiang Yuan was somewhat moved; it’s said that spouses are like birds sharing the same forest, who fly separately when disaster strikes.

This man had done a lot; it was no small feat.

"Come on in!"

Song Yi made a crucial decision at a critical moment; it was a matter of no choice.

"Thank you, thank you, hurry, Xiao Ling, take Jingjing and hurry up..."

He instructed his wife to go up, and Jhiang Yuan sighed.

"You come up too!"

"Really? Thank you all."

Truly surprised, the man quickly got up, pulling his wife and daughter into the stairwell on the twenty-first floor.

Song Yi looked at the situation before him and called for Jhiang Xingzhi and Zhang Kaiyang, along with Liang Kang, to go down to the twentieth floor.

Liang Kang was the man from 2001.

The people from downstairs had already come up.

All four men were together because the door to the stairwell on the twentieth floor was locked.

Several knocks on the other side, with no response, led the girl in charge to lose patience.

"Open the door, you on the twentieth floor, I know you can hear us.

If you know what’s good for you, open the door quickly or I might spare your lives," the girl demanded.

Damn, she really thinks too highly of herself, as if she’s so important.

Song Yi was patient and said little, well aware of the evolving situation.

This group came up directly, and there was another batch sweeping the floors.

In less than five minutes, they would reach them and join forces.

"What’s the matter, you don’t have much pull?" one of the men’s voices chimed in.

The girl became furious with shame and cursed under her breath, then instructed the others around her.

"You few, ram the door down for me. I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t kill off these bastards."

"I knew it, I should have killed her last time," Ye Mianmian seethed with anger. Her hair still hadn’t grown back, all thanks to her.

Old grievances were unresolved, and now new hatred was added.

"Don’t get agitated, we can’t afford to panic," Jhiang Yuan cautioned as she glanced at the mother and daughter from 2001.

Xiao Ling had already come over with a kitchen knife, instructing Jingjing, the little girl, to stay quiet and hide in the stairwell.

Even though the little girl was pitiful, Jhiang Yuan did not let her into the apartment.

At this moment, she couldn’t trust anyone, nor could she expose her own home to strangers.

"Um, I could join you."

"Sure, just wait a minute..."

Jhiang Yuan’s voice was faint as the banging on the door downstairs began.

The door, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse, was later reinforced, but it was still a futile effort.

Song Yi and the others wanted to get rid of some people on the twentieth floor, and it looked like the door was about to be breached.

He led the other three and hid around the corner of the staircase.

With a "bang," the door fell to the ground, kicking up quite a bit of dust.

Both sides fell silent for a few seconds, and the girl spoke with excitement in her voice.

"See, these people are just cowards. There are quite a few good things on this twentieth floor.

We’ll go up to the twenty-first floor first, sort out those people, and then come back down."

She began to give orders without restraint, while a male voice beside her chimed in at the right moment.

"Like this, you take them up, and you few go knock on doors."

Damn, they were afraid of the goods falling into strangers’ hands.

Moreover, listening to him, it seemed all of their own people were staying behind, letting the residents of the building go first into the fray, quite the cunning plan.

"Maybe we should stick together after all!"

The girl wasn’t stupid, after all, she couldn’t just go by herself; she had witnessed the strength of those people first-hand.

"Go now!"

The threatening voice rose, and the girl had no choice but to shout, "Move, hurry up and go."

Song Yi’s knife was already drawn, as he was the first one waiting below.

The people coming up hadn’t noticed someone was lying in ambush around the corner.

"Ah!"

One careless moment, and a life was given up.

The second person behind met the same fate, and those who followed began to retreat.

"There are people, there are people..."

Their voices trembled, all of them were just thinking about following to the rescue center.

They kept a low profile usually, hardly ever witnessing such a bloody scene.

Seeing their companions’ throats sliced open like that, they were terrified almost to the point of wetting themselves.

"Make way..."

It was that same sharp male voice; Jhiang Yuan could tell it was the person who didn’t get along with the girl.

Song Yi didn’t linger in the fight, having taken out two people at once, the rest became cautious.

The situation had suddenly become complicated.

He retreated, and the people above also quietly moved up.

They dared not make a sound, nor move too slowly.

Below was the same, one did not dare act rashly.

First, they sent a resident over, who was trembling with fear, but he had no choice.

This corner of the stairwell was a blind spot, inevitable for anyone to pass.

Once on the twenty-first floor, one could use these blind spots to hide and launch surprise attacks, which was a good option.

Jhiang Yuan was also very tense, holding the door all this time, just waiting for them to return.

Quite simply, she was afraid that these people might have guns or weapons like sleeve arrows.

If they didn’t retreat, it would be too dangerous, a matter of life and death!

Song Yi hadn’t gone inside the stairwell but hid around the corner instead.

The person below came up, scared to death as soon as he showed himself.

He raised his hands, nearly ready to surrender.

"There’s, there’s no one here!"

The man’s voice was quivering, and then a corner of a "camouflage cloth" became visible.

Song Yi had been waiting for just that moment, with a "whoosh," his sleeve arrow shot out, and the person fell to the ground in response.

Below, there were sounds of fear and sighs; the man at the front collapsed to the ground, truly frightened.

He kept mumbling to himself, "Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I was forced, don’t kill me..."

Softly, he began to cry.

"Damn it, you go..."

Suddenly, another person was kicked over; without a doubt, this was another ordinary resident who had come over to seek refuge.

These people were like dogs, actually letting innocent people come forward to clear the way!
