Chapter 245: Chapter 245: The Moment of the Hunt

She and Ye Mianmian were responsible for continuing the observation from upstairs.

This was also very important, in case there were any changes, or if anyone else displayed any abnormal behavior, they could detect it immediately.

Several people began to move, and the two of them each picked up a pair of binoculars, starting to observe the situation below.

"Sister Yuan, do you think they can go down later?"

Ye Mianmian was somewhat worried; in her heart, aside from Song Yi, Jhiang Yuan was also reliable.

"I guess they will, this group of people is acting strangely, moving around even in such cold weather.

It’s as if they suddenly got some news and are in a rush against time."

Yes, otherwise, they wouldn’t have started during the day, which is totally out of character for Old Xu.

Plus, the hurried digging of this tunnel always feels a bit baffling.

"Could it be that they know the snow is going to stop and are worried it’ll be difficult to pass later, so they’re doing this?"

Upon hearing this, Jhiang Yuan shook her head.

"I don’t think that’s likely. If they knew the snow was going to stop,

the hindrance would be much less now, instead of waiting until it’s completely stopped to go out. There wouldn’t be much difference."

Ye Mianmian slapped her forehead, also realizing this.

"Right, but what exactly are they up to?"

"Sigh, who knows."

The snowflakes were already much smaller than they had been the last two days, sprinkling down gently, easing the situation somewhat.

If it continued to fall, it would get a little thicker.

However, compared to the snow that was about two meters deep, this felt like a drop in the bucket.

The two of them dared not relax for a moment, keeping close watch outside, binoculars in hand.

There was still no movement over there; the people who had gone down were returning.

Hearing the commotion, Little One got excited.

Song Yi opened the door himself, without knocking.

"You’re back, what’s the situation?"

Ye Mianmian couldn’t wait to come up and find out the details; she really wanted to know the specifics.

Jhiang Yuan was the same, but someone had to keep watch on this side.

Liang Kang had warmed himself by the electric heater and came over to relieve Jhiang Yuan.

"They’re probably making a big move downstairs; they’ve locked the doors to the stair entrances on their floors.

Both the ninth and tenth floors are locked."

"Ah? Are they getting defensive?"

Ye Mianmian was off-key as she heard this.

Logically speaking, there were still people upstairs; by doing this, they were cutting off everyone’s hope of going downstairs.

Damn it, onlookers have milk glands too!

"Not only that, but we saw that they poured water on the stairs and there’s a thick layer of ice.

Now, even if we could open the door, we would have to be extremely careful when walking.

You might slip and fall."

If you slipped and fell, it would make a noise.

A strike on the enemy, and a signal to allies—what a good strategy!

"My God, has it gotten to this point?

The people on the eighth floor, they’ve guarded against everyone!"

Jhiang Yuan sighed, feeling a vague unease.

"True, I smelled a very strong scent of instant noodle seasoning."

"Instant food, huh? That means they want to eat quickly and then wait. Watch, there’s definitely going to be more happening today."

Nobody disagreed with Jhiang Yuan’s words; they all felt it should be like that.

However, the eighth floor’s defense,

departing from their usual low-key behavior, really was puzzling.

The more it was like this, the more they had to prepare.

Indeed, not two minutes later, her words were confirmed.

Liang Kang gestured excitedly, the other hand still holding the binoculars without putting them down.

"They’re coming out, they’re coming out, hurry..."

The remaining five people were all excited and rushed over.

"Holy shit, they really came out, just sauntering around, and carrying shovels and stuff in their hands."

This was a big deal; it was visible at a glance.

As for the weapons you couldn’t see, who knows what there might be.

With only two binoculars, several people took turns to look through them.

The situation did not look promising; there were still five people going over.

And there was still one person left in the house, that must have been Old Xu.

"Brother Song, what do we do? Should we go down now?"

Zhang Kaiyang was still very agitated, eager to go down as soon as he had come up, though the meaning had changed.

"Wait a little longer, they’ll definitely head to building ten first.

Let’s move when they get up there."

By then, the people who had left would be busy working, and probably wouldn’t notice this place right away.

Indeed, building ten was the top choice.

The path led directly there; to go to the other buildings, they’d still need to clear the way.

Everyone held their breath and watched intently, afraid of missing something.

"They’re going up, they’re going up!"

Zhang Kaiyang said excitedly, and Jhiang Yuan patted his shoulder, signaling him to pass the binoculars to her.

He did so reluctantly; he knew that Jhiang Yuan was the female equivalent of Song Yi.

She had the guts and foresight, even stronger than theirs.

She had not expected to be so startled at a glance.

That group had apparently locked onto their target earlier; they should be around the thirteenth floor now. The pace of clearing the building wouldn’t be this fast.

The reason she knew was that the lights in that room were on.

The curtains were not drawn; it was so blatant.

It looked like they had lit candles, and the light from several flashlights flickered.

What followed was a scene that infuriated heaven and man.

The people in the room seemed to resist.

They even tried to run to the window to escape; perhaps the front door had been taken control of.

But now the windows were frozen shut, and it took a lot of effort to crack them open a bit.

Then, that person was dragged back.

They clutched desperately at the window mullions, but to no avail.

In a surprising turn, they fought back, shadows looming behind.

Blood splattered on the window, forming a stark contrast with the snowy world outside.

Through the night vision goggles, the color was a bit blackened, not at all revealing the original red.

Turns out, red plus green ultimately gives black, how ironic.

And yet, the window was pushed open a bit more.

Jhiang Yuan’s heart raced; could there be someone else trying to escape from here?

Watching for real, who could understand the feeling?

The anticipated scenario did not occur; instead, the person from before was thrown down.

Then, a second one followed; she thought she saw limbs flailing.

The thirteenth floor wasn’t too low.

"My God, that person might not be dead yet."

They actually wanted to throw people down alive; in these conditions, the ground below was all dug-out ice pits.

Hitting a sharp fault could be worse than a knife.

This person was definitely gone.

Song Yi watched calmly, while Jhiang Yuan clutched her chest, feeling uncomfortable.

Ye Mianmian had been waiting; she took the binoculars and began to observe.

"Huh, another house has lights on."

Good lord, that was fast.

Song Yi put down the binoculars and looked at everyone seriously, "Now’s the time, let’s go!"
