Officer Miao was shocked to see Wang Bin kill someone. She stood outside the window, observing the surroundings, but she had no idea where Wang Bin was, which made her even more puzzled. How did Wang Bin manage to kill the members of the Berserk Gang?
"They're using air guns!"
It was Li Chengping's seasoned experience that allowed him to immediately recognize that Wang Bin and his group were using air guns.
"Air guns?" Officer Miao exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, these guns are very quiet. If you don't listen carefully, it's hard to hear them. Judging from the direction the bodies fell, they should be hiding in the house on the left."
Hearing this, Officer Miao quickly aimed her gun at the house on the left.
Seeing the Berserk Gang members running away, Wang Bin turned to Guan Xiaoyue and said, "Wait here, I'll go talk to them."
"What, you're going alone?"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't show up, they won't dare to shoot!"
"Okay, be careful!"
Wang Bin nodded and left the house. He didn't pick up the guns dropped by the Berserk Gang but walked directly towards the small building where Officer Miao was.
"Can we talk?"
Wang Bin stopped ten meters in front of the small building where Officer Miao was and didn't move forward.
"Who are you, and what do you want to talk about? If it's about food, forget it."
"Cooperation! Don't worry, I didn't bring any weapons!"
"What are you holding in your hand?"
"Food, for you, as a meeting gift!"
"Food? Stop, we don't need your food!"
"I know you're afraid of the Berserk Gang's retaliation and want to leave here as soon as possible. If you don't want to waste time, let's talk."
Just as Wang Bin said, Officer Miao only wanted to leave quickly. Otherwise, when the Berserk Gang came back, they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to.

"Alright, come in, but you'd better not try any tricks!"
Wang Bin smiled faintly, took some food out of his backpack, and walked into the house.
As soon as he entered, a gun was pressed against his head.
"Don't be nervous, I only brought food, nothing else!"
"Drop it on the ground!"
Wang Bin complied without resistance and dropped the bag on the ground.
Li Chengping didn't pick up the bag but had a child open it to check.
"Wow, so much food!"
The little boy opened the bag and was immediately astonished by the food inside, shouting in excitement.
"Little Nan, bring the bag upstairs with us!"
"Okay, Uncle Li!"
The obedient little boy followed Li Chengping, escorting Wang Bin to the second floor.
Upon reaching the second floor, Wang Bin immediately saw Officer Miao and a few others standing nervously at a distance, watching him. Among them were two women, and the rest were children.
"So, what do you want to talk about?"
"Let's join forces against the Berserk Gang!"
"What, are you crazy?"
"No, I'm not! The Tiger Head Gang and the Giant Bear Gang are already fighting. If we can get the Berserk Gang and the Flying Eagle Gang to fight too, there won't be any major organizations left in the city."
"Sorry, I'm not interested in your proposal!"
"I know what you want—food? I have it! If you help us with a small task, I can give you some food. It might not be enough to get you to the safe zone, but it will help you last longer. I suggest you take a look at the gift I brought before you decide."
As Wang Bin finished speaking, the little boy handed the plastic bag to Officer Miao.
Officer Miao opened it and was stunned by the food inside. Before the apocalypse, these items were insignificant, but now they were luxury goods. Even the Berserk Gang probably didn't have such food.
"Where did you get all this food?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just answer whether you'll cooperate or not. I have plenty more of this food. If you cooperate, I can give you ten times as much!"
"Though your offer is tempting, the Berserk Gang has over a hundred people. They're not easy to deal with!"
"We're not planning to confront them directly. We just need to make them fight the Flying Eagle Gang."
"My mentor is injured and can't move easily. The others have no combat skills. I can only join you alone!"
"No problem, you're enough! Now, quickly pack up and find a safer place. Then we can discuss the plan."
"Alright! Everyone, pack up quickly, we're moving!"
At Officer Miao's command, the others sprang into action.
The wild boar had already been butchered and was carried out by the others.
As they left the house, Wang Bin and his group didn't forget to collect the Berserk Gang's weapons.
Once outside, Wang Bin retrieved the two rifles and then called Guan Xiaoyue out of the house.
"Xiaoyue, take this!"
As soon as Guan Xiaoyue stepped out, Wang Bin tossed her a rifle.
"This gun is powerful, but it's too loud!"
"Then take both!"
"Okay!"
"Just the two of you?" Officer Miao was surprised to see only two people on Wang Bin's side.
"Yes, it was two before, but now it's three!" Wang Bin replied with a faint smile.
Officer Miao felt like she had fallen into a trap, but now that she was on Wang Bin's ship, she had no choice but to go along.
Under Officer Miao's guidance, the group found another small building to settle in.
Upon arriving, Wang Bin took out more food for Officer Miao and the others.
Seeing the food, everyone's eyes lit up, and a few children couldn't help but drool.
"Go ahead and eat!"
No one moved, instead looking collectively at Officer Miao, as if she was their leader.
"Go ahead, but each person can only take one item!"
Upon hearing Officer Miao's words, everyone quickly reached for the food they had been eyeing, tore open the packaging, and began eating voraciously.
Watching them eat, Guan Xiaoyue was reminded of the first time Wang Bin gave her food, and she couldn't help but laugh.
The group didn't mind Guan Xiaoyue's gaze and continued to eat excitedly.
"This is so delicious; I've never had such tasty chicken legs!"
"Yeah, this beef jerky is amazing. I've almost forgotten what beef tastes like!"
"Wang Bin, Xiaoyue, why don't you eat something too?"
"Sure!"
Wang Bin smiled faintly, took out a can of beer, and started drinking, while Guan Xiaoyue took out a bag of Bouncy Gummies.
Seeing Wang Bin with a can of beer, Li Chengping's eyes lit up. He swallowed hard and awkwardly asked Wang Bin, "Wang Bin, do you have more beer?"
"Yes, Brother Li, here you go! Officer Miao, would you like one too?" Wang Bin smiled and tossed a can of beer to Li Chengping.
"No, well, actually, yes, I'd like one too!"
Initially, Officer Miao felt a bit embarrassed to ask for more from Wang Bin after he had already given them so much food, but she hadn't had a drink in years and couldn't resist.
Wang Bin smiled and tossed another can to Officer Miao.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
Officer Miao took the beer, pulled the tab, sniffed it, and then took a sip.
As the beer went down, she felt a wave of comfort wash over her, making her hair stand on end. The sensation was simply wonderful.
