Guan Xiaoyue was thrilled as she held the air gun in her hands. She had always wanted a gun, and now her wish had finally come true.

"Although this air gun doesn't have the power and range of a rifle, it's still lethal enough. Plus, it's quiet and very discreet. This gun is yours now!"

"Ah, thank you, Brother Wang!"

"Here are some detonators and fuses for you to hold onto as well."

"Okay!"

"Alright, let's not worry about these things for now. Come and see what goodies I've brought you."

With that, Wang Bin took out a variety of delicious treats from his backpack, making Guan Xiaoyue's eyes light up.

"Dig in!"

Guan Xiaoyue agreed and tore open a pack of beef jerky, devouring it eagerly.

"Brother Wang, you should eat too!"

"I'm not hungry yet!"

"No way, if you don't eat, I won't eat either!"

"Alright, alright, I'll eat too!"

Unable to resist Guan Xiaoyue, Wang Bin took out a pack of spicy peanuts and a bottle of beer and started eating.

Guan Xiaoyue also grabbed a bottle of beer, clinked it with his, and drank heartily. Both of them were very happy at that moment.

After finishing a pack of beef jerky and a bottle of beer, Guan Xiaoyue refused to eat more. No matter how much Wang Bin urged her, she wouldn't eat. He knew she was used to a tough life and wouldn't eat more than she needed.

"Don't worry, I brought two large backpacks full of food this time, enough to last you a month!"

"No, I'm already full!"

"Alright, can you guess what other good stuff I brought you?"

"I can't guess!"

"Look, I brought you a phone and ten power banks, enough to last you a long time!"

"Ah, Brother Wang, you're so good to me!"

At that moment, Guan Xiaoyue couldn't help but cry. Ever since the apocalypse and the death of her parents, she hadn't felt anyone's warmth.

"Alright, alright, don't cry. Shall we listen to some music?"

"Okay!"

Guan Xiaoyue happily agreed, immediately took out her earphones, plugged them in, and handed one to Wang Bin. They leaned against each other and listened to music.

Perhaps Guan Xiaoyue was too tired these past few days. As soon as the second song started, her head tilted, and she fell asleep on Wang Bin's shoulder.

Wang Bin carefully removed Guan Xiaoyue's earphone, turned off the phone, and let her lean on him as they both fell asleep.

The next morning, when Guan Xiaoyue woke up, she found herself hugging Wang Bin all night, and her face flushed red.

Wang Bin sensed Guan Xiaoyue's movement and woke up too.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes!"

"By the way, tell me what happened while I was away these past few days?"

"Food is getting scarcer. There was a conflict between the Tiger Head Gang and the Giant Bear Gang, but only a few were injured on both sides. Some loners are also planning to leave here to find government gathering places."

"It seems like there's still an opportunity?"

"To eliminate the Tiger Head Gang and the Mad Sand Gang!"

"Ah, the Mad Sand Gang?"

"Yes, to get into the bank building, we must drag the Mad Sand Gang into the mess too, and it's best if they get wiped out as well."

"Ah, the Mad Sand Gang is strong too!"

"No worries, we'll take it step by step. Do you know how to shoot?"

"I've only seen others do it, but I've never tried it myself."

"That's okay. I brought five boxes of pellets this time, with a hundred in each box, enough for you to practice! Find a target and get a feel for it. Tonight, we'll go mess with the Axe Gang!"

"Ah, are we really going?"

"Don't worry, we're just going to create chaos, not fight them head-on!"

"Alright!"

After convincing Guan Xiaoyue, Wang Bin began planning how to deal with the Axe Gang that night.

Not only did he want to deal with the Axe Gang, but it would be best to stir up trouble among all four gangs. That way, he could seize the opportunity amidst the chaos to enter the bank building where the gold was stored.

Gold used to be valuable, but after the apocalypse, such heavy metal is likely unwanted, and there's a high chance it's still in the bank vault.

Half an hour later, Wang Bin found Guan Xiaoyue practicing shooting by the window. He noticed she wasn't shooting randomly but aiming like a sniper, taking her time before firing a shot.

Apparently, she was using a human face on a billboard across the building as her target, and the face now had many small holes.

"You have quite a talent for shooting!"

Seeing this, Wang Bin couldn't help but praise her.

"Xiaoyue, take a break and eat something before practicing more."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang."

"How's the practice going?"

"Not bad, but the air gun's power and range are a bit limited. It might be hard to kill someone from fifty meters away."

"No worries, just get closer. This thing is quiet and hard to detect!"

"Okay!"

After eating, Guan Xiaoyue practiced a bit more and then stopped. She wanted to save bullets and felt she had grasped the basics.

In the afternoon, Wang Bin called Guan Xiaoyue over and had her draw a detailed map of the Seven-Color Splendid Garden building where the Axe Gang was located and the surrounding structures, explaining the layout inside the building.

Wang Bin's detonators were limited and couldn't bring down the building, so he abandoned the idea of using them to blow it up. However, he still needed to use the detonators because only the Giant Bear Gang had dynamite and grenades. Using detonators would make Brother Hu think the attackers were from the Giant Bear Gang.

After dark, Guan Xiaoyue led Wang Bin to a building near the Seven-Color Splendid Garden.

The Seven-Color Splendid Garden was a commercial building with many entrances and exits. The Axe Gang didn't have enough people to guard every entrance.

According to Guan Xiaoyue, most of the Tiger Head Gang members were gathered on the third to fifth floors, so they only had guards at the main entrances on the first and second floors. Sneaking into the building was easy.

After midnight, Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue made their move.

Without electric lights, people seemed to revert to ancient times, usually going to bed around eight or nine in the evening. Most people should be asleep now, making it a perfect time to sneak in.

Soon, they reached the first floor of the Seven-Color Splendid Garden. They found the stairwell and quietly made their way up. As they reached the second floor, they heard snoring from above.

Wang Bin was secretly delighted and carefully approached the person, ready to cover their mouth with one hand and slit their throat with a knife in the other.

It was Wang Bin's first time killing someone, and he was a bit nervous. Fortunately, the person struggled a bit before dying without making much noise.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Wang Bin exchanged a glance with Guan Xiaoyue and continued forward.

According to Wang Bin's analysis, the third floor was where the lowest-ranking members of the Tiger Head Gang lived, the fourth floor housed some gang leaders and elites, and the fifth floor was where Gang Leader Brother Hu and his two women lived, as well as the storage area for supplies.

Their target was the top fifth floor, to find where the Tiger Head Gang stored their supplies and blow it up.

Soon, they reached the fifth floor. Just as they were about to push open the stairwell door, they heard footsteps and quickly stopped. Once the footsteps faded, they slipped inside.

After observing the fifth floor for a while, they noticed two people patrolling continuously. Soon, the two patrolmen got tired and gathered near Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue, chatting quietly.
