"Who's in the room?" Wang Bin asked quietly.

"Her name is Miao Ruyun, she's a police officer. Her team includes an old cop named Li Chengping, who seems to be her mentor. Besides them, there are five or six others, all kids and women, without much fighting power," Guan Xiaoyue replied calmly.

"Why haven't they left here?"

"It seems the old cop Li Chengping has a severe leg injury, so Miao Ruyun stayed behind to take care of him."

"Oh, it seems this Officer Miao is quite loyal and righteous!"

"Brother Wang, are you thinking of helping them?"

"To take down the Mad Sand Gang, we need allies!"

"Got it!"

Understanding Wang Bin's intention, Guan Xiaoyue immediately aimed the air gun at the head of someone who had just hidden.

"Brother Chen, with so many people in your Mad Sand Gang, why don't you fight yourselves?"

"Officer Miao, we aren't as lucky as you. We've gone out several times and returned empty-handed. I'm not asking for much, just half!"

Hearing Brother Chen's words, others were tempted and tried to persuade Officer Miao, but she wasn't swayed.

She knew Brother Chen and his men too well. If she gave in, they would likely take everything from them.

As food became scarcer, she had heard rumors of people resorting to cannibalism. This place was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Now that her mentor's leg was almost healed, and they had just caught a wild boar, she planned to leave with him.

"Dream on. The wild boar is mine. If you want one, hunt it yourself. If you want to take my stuff, come and try!"

"Officer Miao, I know you're a good shot, but you only have two pistols and not many bullets. If it comes to a fight, you won't stand a chance against us!"

"Enough talk, if you want to fight, bring it on!"

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, attack!"

With a wave of Brother Chen's hand, his underlings charged towards the small building.

"Bang! Bang!"

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Two gunshots rang out from the window, and two men immediately fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the others stopped and hid.

Li Chengping, holding a pistol, quietly approached Miao Ruyun and whispered, "Xiaoyun, are we really going to fight the Mad Sand Gang?"

"Mentor, it's okay. As long as we drive them away, we'll leave the city to find a safe place!"

"That's all we can do. You watch the front door, I'll cover the stairs!"

"Okay, be careful, Mentor!"

"You too, be careful!"

The two gunmen hiding in the shadows saw the fight break out and started shooting at Officer Miao's window, forcing her to stay down.

"Charge!"

Seeing Officer Miao pinned down, Brother Chen ordered his men to charge.

Officer Miao had to move to another room to counterattack.

"Fire!"

At the same time, Wang Bin gave Guan Xiaoyue the order to shoot.

He had tried the air gun himself but realized his shooting skills were nowhere near as good as Guan Xiaoyue's, so he handed her the only gun.

"Pop!"

The air gun made a very soft sound, and with the cover of other gunfire, it was inaudible.

The pellet hit the head of a gunman hiding in the shadows, causing him to slump over, his gun silent.

Officer Miao, having relocated, began her counterattack, taking down another man.

With gunmen outside targeting her, she couldn't fire continuously. After each shot, she had to move to a new spot to shoot again.

"Pop!"

As Brother Chen and his remaining men reached the base of the building, Guan Xiaoyue took out another gunman hiding in the shadows.

With the hidden gunmen dealt with, Guan Xiaoyue turned her aim to the Mad Sand Gang members charging the building.

"Pop!"

"Ah!"

Just as Brother Chen entered the building, one of his men behind him screamed and fell.

"What's going on?"

Seeing his underling shot, Brother Chen was puzzled. Who was shooting at them?

Weren't there two gunmen watching their backs? How could his men still be getting shot?

"Ah!"

Another scream rang out, as another underling, not yet inside, was silently killed.

Brother Chen was shocked!

"Everyone, get inside, quickly!"

Seeing the situation turning dire, Brother Chen ordered his men inside.

"Brother Chen, it seems someone is shooting at us from behind!"

"Who the hell is it? When I find out, I'll skin them alive!"

Officer Miao also noticed something was off. The two gunmen in hiding had stopped shooting, and just as she aimed at someone, they fell before she could pull the trigger.

"Could someone be helping us?"

Officer Miao felt a glimmer of hope and quickly abandoned the window to join her mentor at the stairs.

"Mentor, how's it going?"

"Two down!"

"Not bad, Mentor!"

"Of course, back in the day, I was the sharpshooter of the police force!"

"Mentor, it seems someone is helping us?"

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"The gunmen in hiding seem to have gone silent. I suspect they've been taken out! And just as I aimed at someone, they fell before I could shoot!"

"Oh, is that so!"

Brother Chen was panicking. He had brought eleven men, but now there were only four left, including himself.

What frustrated him more was that someone outside was shooting at them, and they couldn't get up the stairs. Now they were stuck on the first floor, unable to advance or retreat.

"Brother Chen, what do we do now?" a terrified underling asked, his face pale.

Brother Chen thought for a moment and shouted, "Officer Miao, how about we make a deal?"

"Oh, what do you want to say?"

"I admit defeat. Just let us go, and we'll pretend tonight never happened!"

Officer Miao didn't trust Brother Chen to let them go, but she needed time. It would be best to send them away now so she could have time to lead everyone out.

"Fine, you can leave!"

"Officer Miao, that's not fair! Tell your friends outside to let us go too, or I won't dare step out!"

Hearing Brother Chen's words, Officer Miao confirmed her suspicions that someone outside was helping them.

Officer Miao initially wanted to say she didn't know the people outside, but then realized that would reveal to Brother Chen that the outsiders weren't with them.

Officer Miao agreed and quietly moved to a window in the next room to shout.

"Hey, the Mad Sand Gang has admitted defeat, let them go!"

Hearing Officer Miao's shout, Guan Xiaoyue turned to Wang Bin.

Wang Bin thought for a moment and shouted, "Alright, let them go!"

"Thank you!"

Officer Miao expressed her gratitude and quickly moved to the stairs to let Brother Chen and his men leave.

"Go!"

Brother Chen heard Wang Bin's words and hurriedly led his men out.

"Fire!"

As soon as Wang Bin saw Brother Chen and his men come out, he ordered Guan Xiaoyue to shoot.

Guan Xiaoyue didn't question why he had said to let them go earlier but now ordered to shoot, and she aimed and fired!

"Pop!"

"Ah!"

A scream rang out as one of the men, having barely taken a few steps, fell to the ground!

"Bastard, you don't keep your word!"

Seeing his man fall, Brother Chen pulled another man over to shield him from the bullets while cursing loudly.

"Pop! Pop!"

Guan Xiaoyue fired two more shots, but only managed to take down one more!
