Those men holding guns looked at the middle-aged man and hesitated. They had just received the guns this morning, and no one knew how to use them.

Their leader told them just to take out the guns when they were robbing people, and the rest would be easy. But in the current situation, if they don't fight back, the opponent will wipe them out.

Unable to move forward or retreat, one of them gritted his teeth and raised his gun. He aimed at Long Yu, closed his eyes, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Hearing a gunshot, the man opened his eyes excitedly. However, before he could cheer, the scene in front of him shocked him.

There is a small red colored flag on the end of the gun barrel. Looking at the small flag, the man's eyes shrank. This is obviously a fake gun for pranking people!

He raised his eyes and angrily looked at his leader, wanting to scold him.

Bang!

But before he could say anything, he saw his leader was shot in the forehead and fell into the water.

Splash!

The leader's body fell into the water and disappeared within seconds. Before he could react, the man heard another gunshot.

Bang!

The next second, he felt something hot hit his eyebrow, and he lost his strength. The man was still holding the fake gun tightly as he disappeared into the water.

Ten minutes later, Long Yu took out the binoculars from his backpack and scanned the surroundings. Seeing no one alive, he lowered his gun and said, "Cut the ropes."

"Yes, Captain."

Following his order, they quickly cut off the ropes blocking the motorboat. Putting away the gun, Shi Xuan started the engine and drove away, leaving a pile of corpses floating in the water before the water current swallowed them up.

An hour later, they arrived at the suburbs. Shi Xuan drove to the first office building and saw that the windows were broken. He looked inside and saw shattered glass everywhere, overturned tables and chairs, and wet footprints on the floor.

Shi Xuan looked at his friends, shook his head, and said, "We are late."

Long Yu thought for a while and said, "Let's go see other buildings." "Alright."

Shi Xuan drove the motorboat and visited all the office buildings in the area, but they had all been looted.

Sitting on the motorboat, Huang Qian looked at the others and said, "What should we do now? We can't go back empty-handed."

Long Yu was silent for a moment and said, "I have been monitoring the temperature these days, and it drops by two degrees every few days. I'm afraid the temperature will be even lower from now on."

When Huang Qian heard this, he scratched his head in distress and asked, "Captain, what are your plans?"

Long Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Let's collect some wooden furniture and bring it back for firewood. We have enough supplies for half a year, but there is not enough fuel. With the current weather, we don't know what will happen in the future. It's best to prepare early."

Shi Xuan also monitored the temperature for two weeks and found that it was getting colder day by day.

He looked at his friends and said, "Captain is right. We must seize the opportunity before others notice the change in temperature. There are only so many trees in Juncheng City. When people realize the change in temperature and start collecting firewood, it will be more difficult for us to get them."

Since Long Yu and Shi Xuan had said so, Huang Qian and Jia Xiang had no objections.

After making their decision, the four of them chose the most remote office building. Shi Xuan is the brains and driver of the team and has the lowest strength, so he stays to guard their motorboat while the other three go to collect wooden furniture.

Climbing the windows, Long Yu found everything in a mess. They looked around and saw that the chairs were mostly made of plastic, and the tables were made of sawdust with a lot of glue. When burned, glue produces toxic fumes, making the tables unsuitable for use as firewood.

After searching the whole building, they found only a few packages of instant noodles and a few bottles of mineral water. They moved the small box containing some supplies back to the motorboat.

Long Yu got on the motorboat and said, "Let's try other buildings."

They searched the office buildings one by one and found a bunch of firewood, a small amount of food, and a few bottles of mineral water.

Looking at the pitifully small amount of supplies, Huang Qian said, "We are not very lucky today. Only this last building is left. I don't know if anyone has been here since our last visit." Shi Xuan parked the motorboat, and Long Yu checked the surrounding situation before climbing into the building. After he nodded at them, Huang Qian and Jia Xiang also climbed in.

Although there are signs of break-in, the situation is better than other office buildings. However, when Long Yu and others entered the sixth floor, they were stunned.

Huang Qian rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Captain, has anyone moved the things here?"

Long Yu looked at the empty floor and frowned. He walked to the CEO's office and found that everything had disappeared, and only some useless things were left there.

Turning to look at Huang Qian and Jia Xiang, he said, "Let's go separately and check out the other floors. We will meet Shi Xuan in twenty minutes."

Huang Qian and Jia Xiang nodded, "Yes, Captain."

The three of them separated and went upstairs. Twenty minutes later, they came back with complicated expressions.

Shi Xuan looked at them and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jia Xiang sighed and replied, "This place is empty."

Shi Xuan didn't understand what she meant and asked again, "What do you mean?"

Huang Qian shrugged, "The literal meaning. This building is empty. There are only some useless things left."
