Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse
Chapter 87: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

While they were opening the first door, Jhiang Yuan quickly opened the side door, and the two of them took the chance to run out.

About two meters to the side, there was a green belt, planted with round objects that were either trees or something else.

Hiding behind this, they just needed to crouch down.

"Sister Yuan, what should we do about our supplies?"

Jhiang Yuan felt aggrieved. Everything was packed up nicely, and if she had come over herself, she would have thrown it all into the space.

Now, that group was probably still puzzled, wondering why everything was organized, and they would definitely think there were other people involved.

"Don’t be scared, Mianmian, now we can only go all in, are you scared?"

She had already decided, if Ye Mianmian was too scared, then they would just abandon those items.

The two of them running out now, in the pitch dark, meant the chances of that group finding them were virtually zero.

"I’m not scared, Sister Yuan, I’ll listen to you."

"Good, there are six people, our combat ability is average, let’s deal with them one by one later."

"Okay!"

Jhiang Yuan saw her agree and pulled out a dagger from the space, handing it to her.

Ye Mianmian trembled a bit, swallowed, and still accepted it.

She herself pulled out a Tang Sword. In this situation, shedding blood was unavoidable.

Perhaps those people were innocent, and their families were waiting for them to return home, but she had no choice.

Apocalypse, after all, everything should have its own way.

Sorry, she was left with no other options.

Sure enough, the people inside sensed something was wrong.

Not to mention the organized items, they also moved the gasoline, which was highly illogical.

And those chicken bones, they hadn’t had time to tidy up yet, and who knew what temperature the massage chair would reach.

The flashlights inside moved haphazardly, clearly observing if there was any motion, or rather, searching for people.

Seeing someone coming their way, Ye Mianmian’s grip on her arm clearly tightened.

Jhiang Yuan frowned, this girl’s mental toughness wasn’t up to the mark, and it was hard to tell if she would jeopardize things later.

She dared not speak out but could only pat her hand to offer some consolation.

That person went to the restroom, probably to look for people.

In less than a minute, the beam of the flashlight shone out, seemingly looking their way.

"Huh, there’s a door here."

He opened the door, not too worried, and walked right out.

With the flashlight shining back and forth, Jhiang Yuan’s heart rose to her throat. If all six came over, they wouldn’t be able to handle them all at once.

Ye Mianmian even covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

Fortunately, the man shook the flashlight, saw nothing unusual, and went back in.

They were probably talking inside, but with the door closed and the sound of wind and rain, nothing could be heard at all.

At this moment, it was a real test of the nerves.

The flashlight beam stabilized; from this position, it was impossible to see people clearly.

"They seem to be eating something."

Ye Mianmian moved closer to her ear and whispered softly.

Then, suddenly, all the lights inside went out, making things quite tense.

"Shh!"

The group wasn’t foolish; they were probably waiting for someone to fall into their trap.

Maybe they even had further actions planned.

But they were in the dark; still, Jhiang Yuan wasn’t worried.

Since she often came to this highway junction, sometimes needing to supervise other construction sites,

she always took the city’s ring highway, making this service area quite familiar to her.

Having reassured Ye Mianmian, both sides began their standoff. They remained stationary, the weather was cold, and it continued to rain, obviously putting the two of them at a disadvantage.

This situation couldn’t go on. She pulled Ye Mianmian, signaling her to follow.

Coming out from the side of the restroom, that wall could also be partially covered by the roof above.

Moving that way might improve their situation, at least the rain was a bit lighter there.

Ye Mianmian instantly understood and followed her, both of them bending low and moving slowly.

A distance of two or three meters took them five minutes to cover.

Seeing nobody around, the flashlight from the other side suddenly lit up again.

Jhiang Yuan observed from the side; she remembered bringing Xiao Nuan here to use the restroom before.

The little girl was mischievous and had run to the back. The entire service area was surrounded by a cement path.

Although not very wide at the back, it was about a meter wide, with a guardrail beside, and below the guardrail was a big pit.

This place was built on a mountain; naturally, there were high and low areas.

"Mianmian..."

Jhiang Yuan tilted her head forward, signaling Ye Mianmian to look ahead while she checked the situation behind.

After all, it had been raining for such a long time, she feared that the reality might conflict with her memory. Later, this place could provide a detour to the gas station.

And they might not be discovered by that group, she had to scout ahead first.

Taking out the flashlight, Jhiang Yuan didn’t go over yet, just shone it around, and everything seemed normal.

She quickly walked back and saw that Ye Mianmian was retreating back.

She hurried to the front, where the other party tightly grabbed her, signaling to move back.

A flashlight beam came their way, followed by the sound of a door opening; it was probably one person.

Jhiang Yuan pulled out her Tang Sword, getting ready. The person looked twice.

Thinking nothing of it, he started to walk back.

She swiftly sprang out and chopped down directly with the sword on the person’s back.

"Ah!"

A scream pierced through the quiet of the night.

With the sharpness of the Tang Sword, the person was undoubtedly dead.

"Let’s go!" Jhiang Yuan grabbed Ye Mianmian, flashing the light as they ran towards the back.

The people inside heard the noise and came out, saw their companion lying on the ground.

They too were frightened and realizing it was a fatal blow with one strike, they knew their antagonist was not to be trifled with.

"Who? Who the hell is it, come out here!"

The impotent roar was heard by them from the opposite side.

Soon, the group caught on that there had been a noise from this side just now.

"Split up and search, we have to find this bastard today!"

The voice was loud, clearly furious, but now Jhiang Yuan was much calmer.

Quietly, she exposed the bracelet on her wrist, ready to enter the "space" if necessary.

Of course, she would take Ye Mianmian with her.

This was a matter of life and death; she couldn’t be too selfish.

The group spread out, now with five of them left. If there was no chance of winning later, they would run towards the front road of the gas station.

That would take them directly onto the highway. The front conditions were more complicated, perhaps offering a chance to hide.

The most crucial thing was to not be seen by them; otherwise, there would still be no chance of success.

Right now, neither of them dared to make any rash moves, and one person with a flashlight came towards the gas station.

The two hurriedly retreated to the direct rear of the hall; it was at a right angle.

The other side could not see them, but if they came over to rest and unload in these two rooms.

That area was too close and still dangerous.

Just as they were thinking, footsteps indeed started coming their way.
