Chapter 112: Guerrilla Warfare (1)
Early the next morning, Yao Ran was woken up by a knock on the door. She put on her coat and went to open the door.
Seeing it was Long Yu, she smiled and asked, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
Long Yu looked at her rosy face and replied, "I just want to see how you are doing. How is your left hand?"
Yao Ran raised her left hand to show it to him, "The swelling has disappeared, and I no longer feel weak or painful."
After hearing this, Long Yu finally put down his worries and said, "Last night, Building 6 was robbed, and many people died."
"After the robbers committed murder and robbery, they used a loudspeaker to threaten the residents of Ling Yuan apartment complex, saying they would come again. If nothing goes wrong, they should come back tonight. We should be more vigilant during this period."
Yao Ran nodded. After a moment of silence, she asked, "How is the situation outside?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"All the corpses floating on the water have disappeared. I suspect the poisonous moths ate the corpses. Moreover, the water level has risen very quickly compared to before." Long Yu said in a heavy tone.
After getting his answer, Yao Ran fell into silence. Listening to the faint sound of rain, she frowned and suddenly remembered that there were several water reservoirs around Juncheng City.
Seeing the change in her expression, Long Yu asked, "What's wrong?"
Yao Ran raised her eyes to look at him, hesitated for a second, and then said, "There are several water reservoirs around Juncheng City."
She didn't need to say too much because Long Yu already knew what she wanted to say.
His expression sank as he said, "I will discuss this issue with others first. It seems we need to collect as much supplies as possible."
"Alright."
After Long Yu left, Yao Ran sat in the living room and fell into deep thought. Thinking about her experiences since her rebirth, she found that even with a lot of supplies and her three abilities, it would not be easy for her to survive.
After a long silence, Yao Ran leaned on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
She closed her eyes and muttered in annoyance, "Life is hard enough as it is. Why do those people need to make things worse?"
She sat there for a while, then took a deep breath to calm down. Since Long Yu said those robbers might come back tonight, she needed to make preparations.
After making her plan, Yao Ran took out the dark red liquid collected earlier and ten poisonous medicinal herbs from space. She put on gloves and a mask and started mixing a jar of poison.
After three hours of work, a jar of poison was completed. After being refined, this poison is colorless and odorless.
Yao Ran looked at the energetic poisonous moths in the glass jar on the low table and said, "It's time for you to get to work."
She then carefully opened the glass jar and took some poison with a disposable laboratory pipette. Yao Ran dripped a few drops of poison into it and quickly sealed it.
Putting down the laboratory pipette, Yao Ran stared at the poisonous moth inside the glass jar without blinking.
After a few seconds, those energetic poisonous moths fell down one after another. Soon, they died and turned into dark red liquid. Seeing this, Yao Ran smiled with satisfaction.
After testing the effect of the poison, Yao Ran filled a spray bottle with poison, filled two plastic bottles with poison, and kept the rest in her space. Then, she went out to deliver poison to Long Yu and others.
As night fell, the entire community fell into an eerie silence.
Yao Ran was fully equipped and stood by the balcony, holding binoculars and observing the situation outside through the gaps between poisonous moths covering the tempered glass.
At eleven o'clock, the world outside is still very quiet.
Yao Ran looked at the darkness outside through the binoculars and suddenly heard some faint sounds as if something was hitting the glass. A second later, one of the poisonous moths suddenly exploded.
Soon, more and more poisonous moths died and turned into dark red liquid, which was quickly washed away by the rain. When most of them were dead, Yao Ran finally saw more clearly and found that the heavy rain outside was mixed with hail.
The smallest hailstones are as big as a baby's fist, while the largest are larger than an adult's fist. The sound of hail hitting the tempered glass was unnerving, but Yao Ran remained alert.
At midnight, Yao Ran finally saw the robbers. They came under the veil of darkness, and there were many of them.
Not long after, Yao Ran heard screaming coming from downstairs. Hail broke one of the windows in Building 3, and the robbers took the opportunity to break in.
Hearing the robber's unbridled laughter, Yao Ran put on protective clothing and picked up her long sword and nail gun. After getting ready, Yao Ran left her apartment.
She stood by the metal door of the stairs, listening to the movement downstairs.
Crack!
Following the sound of the door being broken by something, a man's terrified voice followed.
"Ah! Please don't kill me!"
"Shut up!"
Bang!
The next second, Yao Ran heard the gunshot, followed by the robbers' laughter and the sound of things being smashed.
"Brothers, there are two beauties here! Who wants to go first?"
"No! Let me go!"
As Yao Ran listened to the commotions downstairs, Long Yu and others came out.
Seeing her standing by the metal door with a gloomy face, Long Yu approached her and asked, "Yao Ran, are you alright?"
Hearing his question, Yao Ran looked at him and nodded. Seven people stood in the corridor, quietly listening to the commotion downstairs while they tried to gather more information about this group of robbers.
