Chapter 59 p2
Li Yi had heard the noise and had come over to help, but she had been refused. “No need. You should go to sleep first.”
Li Yi shook her head. “I’ll help you. You go and boil some hot water. I’ll take care of this.”
She was no longer the kind of person who was idle and ate for free. She had done all kinds of dirty and tiring work and was very used to it. She took the little girl’s chamber pot and went to the window to pour it.
After a basin was poured, it was not the expected sound of falling water, but instead, it was splashed on something. After a “whoosh” sound, there was an exclamation, “Damn it!” But soon, there was another commotion, and the noise disappeared.
Li Yi’s spirit immediately became tense, and she was the first to look down.
There were no streetlights, but the sun was scorching during the day, and the moon at night was also a little brighter than usual. Their house was only on the fifteenth floor, and at a glance, she could see a boatload of people at the bottom!
Li Yi’s hair immediately stood on end. Seeing that there were still three boats behind that boat, she quickly closed the window and ran to Jiang Jing. “Someone’s attacking. There are a lot of people!!!”
Jiang Jing immediately thought of Ji Yang’s reminder when she had come back and quickly said, “Quick, notify the people upstairs. I’ll go and notify Ji Yang!”
She put down her daughter. The two-year-old little girl could already communicate. Especially since she had grown up in the apocalypse, she had taught her many times. When she encountered something, the little girl immediately let go of her mother, and her pale and thin little face said seriously, “Mom, I’ll be good!”
Jiang Jing touched her and quickly went out.
Soon, Xixi’s noise was heard from inside the door. She continued to knock on the door, and then it was Ji Yang’s voice. “What’s wrong?”
“Someone’s attacking!” Jiang Jing said concisely. “You should be prepared. There are quite a few people.”
Ji Yang was instantly awake, and her sleepiness disappeared. “Okay.”
The main door was closed again. Jiang Jing thought of Ji Yang, who was still not flustered, and her previous panic seemed to have eased a little. At this time, the Zhu family and the Zhao family had also hurried down, and their faces were all very ugly.
“What’s going on? How come someone is attacking?!”
“How many people are there?”
Just as they had asked two questions, the sound of footsteps was already heard from downstairs. Hearing the sound, it felt like a large crowd, and the sound of them stepping on the narrow stairwell even made the corridor under their feet shake.
Everyone, including Father and Mother Li, who had run out from behind, all turned pale.
They had expected a sneak attack, but they had not expected there to be so many people!
Zhao Ming’s face suddenly turned pale. “So many people. We’re done for, we’re done for!”
If it were a few people, he could fight. But this sound, it was definitely more than twenty people. In addition, they couldn’t leave at all. It was simply like catching a turtle in a jar!
He was covered in a cold sweat, and his mind was frantically thinking of an escape plan, but he sadly found that he couldn’t get out. There was no way at all. For a moment, his gaze towards Jiang Jing was filled with a hint of resentment. “I asked you before if this place was safe. You said it was safe. Where is it safe? It would have been better to take it back to the base and exchange it all for points and supplies!!!”
After he had finished speaking angrily, he met a few pairs of cold eyes.
Jiang Jing squeezed the knife in her hand. “I told you before that I had consulted your opinions when I said I would come here!”
Zhu Yun frowned in disgust. “Why didn’t I see you like this when you were enjoying the benefits?!”
Zhu Hao sneered.
Zhao Ming’s face immediately turned red. At that time, he had thought that if Jiang Jing’s side really had such a big shot friend, they could get more pork, which was why he had agreed.
No one had expected to be targeted by so many people.
It must be Ji Yang!
The people here all know that they have supplies. Now that they have gotten so much pork back, this is what has made this group of people unable to hold it in anymore.
He was filled with regret for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of the gun in Ji Yang’s hand, and his spirits were slightly lifted. It might not be a problem! He quickly said, “Quick, let Ji Yang out. She has a gun!”
It was just that he didn’t know if a pistol could deal with the attack of those dozens of people.
Zhao Ming was expectant, but his heart was also uneasy. He knew that it was impossible. With a swarm of them rushing up, the bullets would not be enough!
Jiang Jing looked at him deeply and did not pay him any attention. She then looked at the Zhu Yun siblings. Seeing that their expressions were tense, and they were nervous but not flustered or resentful, she was slightly relieved.
She began to think about going their separate ways with the Zhao family after this disaster.
The Zhu Yun siblings did not notice her appraisal, but just squeezed the knives in their hands even tighter. No matter how many people there were, they were also afraid of death. Just like the riot before, they had still resisted the attack of that group of people. If they killed a few more, someone would always be afraid.
They had enjoyed the benefits of coming here, so they naturally had to bear the corresponding risks. This was what Jiang Jing had said before they had come. It was just that she had not expected there to be so many people.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and their minds were all spinning rapidly. What had seemed like a long time just now was actually just a few breaths. The crowd held their breath and waited for the enemy to swarm in.
At this time, the main door of 1502 also opened again. A fully armed Ji Yang appeared, holding a grenade in her hand, and a shotgun in the other.
She had always been cautious in this aspect. The other party had many people and had come prepared. If it were just the apocalypse, she could have relaxed a little. But at this time, knowing that she had a gun in her hand, they still dared to come in a group.
Thinking of the riots in her previous life, she had immediately put on her bulletproof vest and bulletproof helmet before she had run out.
Their eyes met, and after sizing each other up, Zhu Yun and the Zhao Ming siblings all suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Holy crap, holy crap!
This girl not only has a pistol!
She also has a grenade and that very formidable-looking gun. What the hell is her background?!
Facing the few who were instantly dumbfounded, Ji Yang was too lazy to say much and said concisely, “You guys go in.”
“Ah?” Jiang Jing was still hesitating. “So many—”
Before she could finish speaking, a group of people from downstairs had already run up. No, they hadn’t come up. To be precise, they had gotten close. It was estimated that they had stopped at the stairwell of the fourteenth floor. Then, they had sent two people a little forward and had immediately thrown a glass bottle-like thing at the steps above.
Danger!
Almost instinctively, everyone realized that this thing was dangerous!
Fortunately, this thing would not automatically turn. The crowd quickly moved to the middle of the corridor, away from the danger on both sides of the stairwell. At the same time, the glass bottle hit the wall. After a crisp shattering sound, there was a loud explosion like a landmine—
“Bang!”
A scorching airflow shook the few who were close, and their eardrums hurt.
A homemade bomb!
They could actually get this thing!
Jiang Jing’s face was pale. “What now?”
Hot weapons against cold weapons was a complete dimensional reduction strike.
Ji Yang was also surprised, and her expression became even more solemn. She said sternly, “All of you, go in! Don’t disturb me!”
Jiang Jing and the others’ faces changed slightly. They didn’t dare to delay and quickly went into the house.
And the people downstairs seemed to be probing their situation.
Hearing the noise and realizing that they were not injured, they immediately took action again. But just as the noise had started.
The moment the main door of 1501 was closed, Ji Yang pulled the pin and threw a grenade into the corridor on her side. After she had thrown it, she took out a tear gas bomb and threw it in as well.
“Gurgle—” the grenade rolled down.
This group of people keenly sensed that something was wrong, and someone panicked. “What is that?”
At the same time, Ji Yang also came to the other side of the corridor. It just so happened that two more glass bombs were thrown up from the corridor on this side. Ji Yang quickly dodged. In the dusty scene.
The people in the stairwell on the side of 1502 also seemed to have seen what this thing was. Someone let out an exclamation, “Damn it, it seems to be a grenade! How could she have—”
Before he could finish speaking, a “bang—” explosion, several times larger than the previous homemade bomb, rang out in the corridor.
Then, a series of explosions, like a chain reaction, detonated the bombs they had brought themselves!
The attackers in the stairwell of 1501 had thrown two more homemade bombs, one closer than the other. Mixed with the explosion from next door, they were still wondering why their teammates’ explosives were so loud, much louder than their side, and the quantity was also much larger. Could it be that the boss had secretly given them a small stove?
And they saw a round, black thing at their feet, rolling down the steps all the way, and landing in their large crowd.
Soon, “bang!”—
The sound of an explosion rang out.
In an instant, limbs flew, and blood splattered. The smell of gunpowder filled the entire corridor.
The attackers in the stairwell of 1501: !!!
This time, they had really hit an iron plate!
However, it was already too late. The moment of the explosion, and in such a narrow place as the stairwell, there was nowhere to hide. And a large group of people were gathered. They couldn’t run away. They were directly blown away by the grenade as the center. A dozen or so people were blown away, and the remaining dozens were not dead, but were seriously injured. The power of the grenade was much stronger than their homemade bomb. If they were not able to dodge in time and were hit head-on, they would be dizzy and bleeding from their seven orifices!
But in the process of dodging, after a collision, the glass bombs they were carrying also shattered.
In an instant, the sound of explosions rang out one after another, and the remaining people who had not been killed by the grenade were once again half-dead.
The attackers in the stairwell of 1501 suddenly understood at that moment why the explosion next door was so loud and so dense!
He closed his eyes in pain, his heart full of unwillingness.
He had clearly been told by the boss that they had gotten a bomb, and that it would be easy to deal with a lone wolf with a gun. Why was this the result?!
It could only be said that you should never underestimate anyone!
—
Ji Yang didn’t throw any more bombs. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to get out in the future. At this point, this group of people’s homemade bombs had been detonated by her grenade. She also threw a tear gas bomb at the stairwell on the side of 1501 to ensure that this group of people wouldn’t come up. Then she shouted, “Xixi, close the door and follow!”
“Woof!” Xixi immediately came out of the house, pushed the main door closed with its two front paws, and ran to Ji Yang, following her all the way up.
Even if the quality of this building was good, the grenade was enough to blow up some of the steps, making it difficult for this group of people to advance or retreat. The tear gas bomb also directly made the people on both sides unable to stay in the stairwell at all.
You had to know that the smoke from a tear gas bomb was not just a tear-jerking effect. This smoke would directly attach to the skin and produce a certain burning effect, and the irritation was exceptionally great. If you were in this environment for a long time, death was not a joke.
The smoke drifted up, and the survivors of the explosion naturally did not dare to continue up. The next thing was to hurry up and escape.
Once they escaped, they would appear outside the building.
And at this time, Ji Yang was already waiting on the rooftop.
She didn’t know how many people there were, but it seemed that there were really quite a few. After such a bombing, there were still many people who had survived. They struggled to climb out from under the corpses of their companions, and the first thing was—to escape!
This place is too scary!
That woman looked like she was alone, but she had a lot of weapons. Even if they had gotten a glass explosive, which was a fatal hot weapon for ordinary people, it was still not enough against her.
At this time, who would still think of eating pork? Who would want to be buried with someone?
Even if they had resigned themselves to their fate and thought they would die, at the critical moment of life and death, their survival instinct still made them desperately stay away from danger.
“Ah! You’re stepping on me!”
“Get out of the way!”
“Wait for me—”
“Plop—”
The sound of the crowded, panicked, and even falling into the water in the corridors on both sides could be heard even by Ji Yang on the rooftop.
Soon, the first batch of people had climbed onto the bamboo rafts or rubber boats to escape.
Ji Yang pointed the muzzle of her shotgun down. Just as she was about to make a move, this group of people had not even left the corridor for a meter when they were frantically pulled back by the people behind them.
“Mine! This is my rubber boat!” the person roared, and he forcefully pushed the person on top into the water and ran up himself.
The others, seeing this, followed suit. In order to escape, they all showed their most ferocious side. Just now, they had been gathered together to rob others. Now, when they were fighting among themselves, they were also merciless!
The sound of falling into the water, the sound of the boat capsizing, and even the sound of dragging someone down with them to die, was exceptionally exciting.
Ji Yang was carrying a gun, and for a moment, she was reluctant to fire.
That group of people who had fallen into the water were all struggling to cling to the rubber boats or bamboo rafts, wanting to climb up again. The people who were on top wanted to leave first, and the ones who hadn’t gotten on were desperately holding on to them…
In the end, one after another, they fell into the water, and finally, a portion of the victors was decided.
This group of people, after confirming that the boat had been freed from the pull of the corridor, all showed a look of having survived a disaster. Without oars, they would paddle with both hands, regardless of the dirty and smelly accumulated water and the bacterial contamination, and regardless of the wounds on their bodies, they would desperately run out.
It’s time.
Ji Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly. She aimed at a fleeing rubber boat and pulled the trigger.
The sound of “bang, bang, bang—” rang out.
The crowd hadn’t even reacted when their bodies were already in sharp pain. When a shotgun attacked, it would directly form a fan-shaped attack range on the target. The hit rate was extremely high, and the attack power was very large.
Basically, within the range, it could easily penetrate the human body, and it was not just one bullet hole, but multiple bullet holes!
“Ah!”
“Help—”
“On the rooftop, she’s shooting from the rooftop!”
“Quick, hide!”
Someone quickly noticed, but it was already too late. The sound of “bang, bang, bang—” continued to ring out. The attackers, who had been happy for only a few seconds, were now gone, along with the boat, shattered on the water surface, and finally sank into the water.
There were also some who were not completely dead. In a short while, they were also attracted by the smell of blood and were eaten by piranhas. In their tragic screams, they completely disappeared.
There were also a few who had not been able to get on. They turned and ran in other directions, trying to find a house to hide in.
It wasn’t until a dozen minutes later.
The noise from downstairs finally disappeared completely.
