Chapter 17 p3
The silencer was something Ji Yang had bought for a high price, and its effect was excellent.
The moment she fired, there was only a muffled “thump, thump, thump” sound in her ears. The noise, in the presence of the sound-absorbing snow, did not attract anyone’s attention.
Only the target who was hit, caught off guard, heard the very faint sound of a bullet entering their brain, and the next second, they fell.
“You motherf*ckers didn’t eat enough—” a man walking in front noticed the commotion behind him. He turned his head and saw people falling one after another, and subconsciously cursed.
As the words were on the tip of his tongue, he caught a glimpse of the crimson slowly appearing on the white snow. His voice hitched. Just as he was about to panic, a pain shot through his head.
The few hooligans who were leading the way at the very front noticed that something was wrong. They looked closely, and how did they all fall?
The hooligans were stunned and subconsciously ran over. “Big brother!”
“Brother Chen, Brother Chen, what’s wrong with you—”
Soon, accompanied by a pain in their heads, these few people also followed in the footsteps of their leader.
Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief. A happy smile appeared at the corner of her eye. Very good, after a break of more than half a year, her aim was still quite good.
In her previous life, she had also played with guns.
But at that time, her guns were all stolen from others in black-eats-black situations. The bullets were few, and each one had to be used sparingly. As a result, at the beginning, the gun was completely useless to her. It wasn’t until she got a crossbow and started practicing her aim that she got the hang of it. Gradually, she had more and more bullets in her hand, and her aim became better and better.
Ji Yang glanced at the smoking muzzle, blew on it carefully, and put it into her space. She happily stroked the dog’s head and said affectionately, “Today’s training is complete. Let’s go, let’s go back!”
Xixi immediately wagged its tail happily.
Ji Yang took it and left. Before leaving, she glanced at the dozen or so corpses between Buildings 1 and 2. The number was not right, several fewer than when they came, but it didn’t matter.
It was a good opportunity to spread the word, so that fewer people would come to Jiafu Community in the future and disturb her peace.
***
Elevated ground floor of Building 5
Four people huddled together behind a pillar.
The few of them had been lazy and walked a little slower. When the large group in front had walked into the shooting zone, they had just emerged. Then, they saw their brothers being shot in the head and falling one by one.
At first, they thought something had happened and subconsciously wanted to rush out.
But when they realized they were being shot in the head, they were all stunned and stood there, not daring to move. It wasn’t until the few people who were leading the way came back and were also shot that the four of them didn’t dare to make a sound and hid in the elevated ground floor next to them, burying their heads in the snow and shivering.
It was too scary!
They actually had a gun!
In Xia Country, a place with such strict controls, they actually had a gun!
They were almost completely wiped out. This time, they were screwed.
The four of them shivered. They held on for more than twenty minutes, and they really couldn’t take it anymore. They couldn’t help but poke their heads out. They couldn’t just stay here forever, right?
Otherwise, they would just freeze to death, which was the same as dying.
They decided to take a gamble.
After mustering their courage and moving their frozen limbs, the four of them looked at each other and all rushed forward. The cold air pierced into their lungs, making them burn, but they didn’t dare to stop at all. They just ran and ran, until they were far outside the community, and then they all knelt on the ground, panting like dead dogs.
“Too… too scary—” one of them stammered.
The other three couldn’t speak and could only nod frantically in agreement.
Ever since they had followed their big brother three months ago, they had been lording it over their own community at first. For the past two months, they had started to expand to other communities to collect protection fees. They didn’t ask for much from each family, just five jin of grain a month.
Those who didn’t give?
They relied on their numbers and directly beat them up, then robbed them. They didn’t rob everything, just ten jin, and people still had to say they were righteous.
So far, they hadn’t met a tough nut to crack.
The toughest they had encountered was losing two brothers, but they had also ransacked that family’s home and thrown the wife, children, and parents out to freeze to death.
They were used to things going smoothly. When they suddenly encountered a situation that was beyond their expectations, they were all stunned. It was estimated that the second batch who went to their deaths didn’t expect it to be a gun.
It could only be said that they were lucky to have survived.
But what to do next?
“When we go back this time, Brother Chen and the others are all dead. Just the four of us, it will definitely be miserable…” one of them sat in a pile of snow with a worried face.
Another shook his head. “No, it won’t be. With a gun, even our gang leader wouldn’t dare to fight head-on.”
“Will they believe us?”
“If they don’t believe us, let them come and see for themselves.”
“Besides, the gang leader also has a gun. Maybe he can bring people over to get revenge. This matter can’t be blamed on us.”
“That’s true. That’s a relief. Good thing we were quick to hide…”
The four of them talked back and forth, and they immediately felt much more at ease. After resting for a while, they felt colder and colder. They didn’t dare to delay and got up to go back.
As for the grain they had robbed from Building 1, they didn’t dare to think about it at all. They only hoped that if the gang leader really wanted to fight, he wouldn’t let them be the vanguard.
Sure enough, when they returned to the gang, they saw that nearly twenty of them had gone out. Logically, dealing with a group of cowardly ordinary people should have been no problem, but only four of them came back.
The gang was immediately in an uproar.
The four of them were directly received by the gang leader.
The moment they saw the gang leader, the four of them immediately went weak in the knees and knelt on the ground. They began to defend themselves at the top of their lungs. “It’s not our fault! Gang leader, the other side has a gun, and we don’t know where they’re hiding. When they went over, that person opened fire directly. It seems like it wasn’t just one person. They shot Brother Chen and the others in the head in an instant. The few of us were lucky to escape because we were in the back…”
The gang leader was a man with a fierce face full of flesh. In the extreme cold, he had a heater on in his room, so the temperature was not low. He didn’t seem to be afraid of the cold either, wearing only one piece of clothing. A black dragon tattoo on his chest was facing the four of them.
The most timid of them, Song Wei, shivered.
The gang leader’s name was Shen Baoyi. It sounded like a good name, but in reality, he was a wanted criminal. Ten years ago, he had killed his wife because he suspected she was cheating on him and cuckolding him. Later, he found out that his son was indeed his biological son, but the matter came to light, and he directly killed two police officers who came to question him and ran away.
He had been on the run for ten years, living under a false name. He had thought that he would eventually be caught, but then God created a natural disaster, and society fell into chaos. He hid on a construction site doing hard labor. When he noticed something was wrong, he immediately robbed his co-worker’s grain and ran out. He went to the nearest community, gathered a group of people to follow him, killed more than a dozen people along the way, established the Black Dragon Gang, and collected protection fees in the community. His life suddenly became very comfortable.
Therefore, Song Wei was very afraid that the gang leader would kill him if he was unhappy.
He had heard that the gang leader also had a gun, but it was one he had stolen from a police officer a long time ago. After establishing the Black Dragon Gang, he had only used it once, to kill a woman who had tried to assassinate him.
Thinking of this, Song Wei’s teeth were chattering.
And in front of him, Shen Baoyi’s expression changed slightly when he heard the word “gun.” He subconsciously touched his pants pocket. In the past, this thing was a time bomb, but after the disaster, it was a treasure.
He carried it with him and didn’t dare to put it down wherever he went.
He had thought that at least in the short term, he was probably the only one around with a gun. He didn’t expect there to be another one, and that person was hiding in the community.
It was estimated that the entire Jiafu Community was also under his control.
Damn it!
This time, he had miscalculated.
His expression changed, and he was conflicted. If he fought, he was a little unsure. Hearing these kids say that every shot was a headshot, the person’s skills must be very good.
If he didn’t fight, would he lose his prestige?
Shen Baoyi gritted his teeth, his gaze falling on the four people in front of him. He took out his pistol and aimed it at them.
Song Wei and the others saw that the gang leader was not speaking and were feeling suspicious. When they looked up, they saw the black muzzle of a gun pointed at them, and they immediately screamed in terror. “Ah! Help—”
With a “bang.”
A loud gunshot rang out in the room.
The one who was hit was Song Wei. The moment the sharp pain hit him, he looked at the man in front of him in a daze. A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, all of them the curses of the men and women he had bullied in the past.
A bad death.
He never thought this day would come so quickly.
