The massive explosion jolted Boss Jin awake from his sleep. He shoved the woman beside him aside, grabbed a pistol from the drawer, and rushed to the door.
"What happened?"
"Boss Jin, we don't know either!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Go find out quickly!"
"Yes, Boss Jin!"
The two explosions woke many people from their slumber. Soon, the building was bustling with people grabbing weapons and rushing toward the main entrance.
Before long, someone hurriedly reached the thirty-ninth floor, drenched in sweat and exhausted like a dog.
As for how Boss Jin moved between floors, it was simple. He had a special sedan chair made, and people were responsible for carrying him up and down.
"Boss, Boss Jin, someone attacked our gate!"
"What! Who's bold enough to do that? Do you know who it was?"
"We don't know. The guy threw two grenades, killing five of our men, and then ran off!"
"Immediately have Captain Zhang take people to guard the gate. We absolutely cannot let them break in!"
"Yes, Captain Zhang has already taken people there."
"Also, pass the word down to guard the building well. Not even a fly should get in!"
"Yes!"
Knowing that the attacker only threw two grenades, Boss Jin felt relieved. He was mainly worried about a zombie horde attacking or forces from other cities trying to seize his territory.
For the safety of the base, he had spent considerable effort over the years to lure the zombies to the North Side of the City.
"Grenades?"
Thinking of grenades reminded Boss Jin of Captain Li, who led a team out today and hadn't reported back.
Wang Bin and his group had thrown quite a few grenades, and Boss Jin had heard the explosions. He had sent people to investigate, but they reported back that the streets in the North Side were filled with zombies, making it impossible to enter.
Hearing this, Boss Jin realized that Captain Li and his team were likely in grave danger.
Stolen story; please report.
"Explosions in the direction Captain Li went, possibly grenades, and now my base is being attacked with grenades. Could there be people or forces in the North Side? No, that's impossible. There are so many zombies there; no one could survive."
Boss Jin paced back and forth in his pajamas, muttering to himself.
"Boss Jin, what's going on?" Two naked girls walked out of the bedroom, giggling as they clung to Boss Jin's arms, their chests rubbing against him.
"Get lost, don't bother me!" Their attempts to please him were met with Boss Jin's scolding instead.
Boss Jin was deep in thought, uninterested in their advances. The two girls, chastised, hurried back to the bedroom.
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Tomorrow, have Captain Li take some people to check it out again!"
As he spoke, Boss Jin walked to the window, cautiously peering at the gate.
Before long, Wang Bin and his group heard the sound of many footsteps heading downstairs. After a while, Wang Bin signaled the group to start climbing.
It took them over ten minutes to reach the thirty-ninth floor.
"No rush, let's rest a bit before heading out."
"Okay!"
Wang Bin approached the elevator door, peering through the crack. It was pitch black outside, so he listened intently but heard nothing.
After a while, Wang Bin gestured, and Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao began prying the door open while he listened for any movement outside.
"Creak! Creak!"
The elevator door slowly opened, and just then, Wang Bin heard footsteps.
The door was barely open, and if the guards noticed, the consequences would be dire. Their only option would be to slide down to the lowest floor, but during the descent, the guards could easily shoot them.
"Let me do it!"
In a moment of urgency, Guan Xiaoyue moved over, trying to squeeze through.
She was the smallest of the three, and only she could fit through the narrow gap.
Wang Bin assisted Guan Xiaoyue while Officer Miao aimed her gun outside.
The footsteps grew closer, but Guan Xiaoyue hadn't made it through yet.
"Push me!" Guan Xiaoyue urged Wang Bin to give her a shove.
Reluctantly, Wang Bin pushed her, and she managed to get halfway through. Once halfway, the rest was easy. Just as the guard reached their corridor, Guan Xiaoyue slipped through.
As soon as she was out, Guan Xiaoyue rolled to the guard, swiftly slashing with her dagger. The man clutched his throat in terror, unable to make a sound.
With the danger averted, Wang Bin and Officer Miao breathed a sigh of relief and continued prying the elevator door.
The door, possibly rusted, took them a while to open.
After Wang Bin and Officer Miao exited the elevator, they cautiously searched ahead.
This floor was Boss Jin's residence. Besides him and his two wives, there were only four guards. Having taken out one, only three remained.
Soon, Wang Bin and his group noticed two guards standing in front of a door, with another patrolling nearby. A glance at their positions revealed Boss Jin's residence.
Officer Miao silently took out the patrolling guard, and the three of them sneaked to the corner, peeking ahead.
The corridor was a bit long, and the guards faced their direction. If they stepped out, they'd be immediately spotted.
Eliminating the two guards was easy, but doing so without alerting the others was challenging.
"What should we do?" Guan Xiaoyue asked anxiously.
"I have an idea!" Wang Bin thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
He approached the dead guard, crouched down, and changed into his clothes, checking the fit.
"Brother Wang, are you going alone?" Guan Xiaoyue asked with concern.
"Let me do it. Once I'm close, I can take them out silently," Officer Miao offered, trying to stop Wang Bin.
"Don't worry, I'll handle them. Just be ready to back me up!"
Wang Bin smiled faintly, pushed Officer Miao's hand aside, and adjusted his demeanor before striding toward the two guards.
Seeing Wang Bin already out, Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao readied their guns, prepared to support him.
Wang Bin was extremely tense, but he knew he couldn't show it. He walked confidently toward the guards.
Perhaps because Wang Bin appeared calm, the two guards didn't react.
There was a kerosene lamp in the corridor. As Wang Bin approached it, one guard found him unfamiliar.
"Hey, who are you? Do you know this is Boss Jin's place? Unauthorized people aren't allowed up here!"
"I have something to report to Boss Jin!" Wang Bin replied without stopping, continuing toward them.
"Stop, isn't there someone designated to report? Who are you?"
Hearing the guard's suspicion, Guan Xiaoyue, hiding around the corner, had her finger on the trigger, ready to shoot.
Wang Bin knew his cover was blown. Without hesitation, he used his Crossing the River on a Reed skill, quickly stepping forward and reaching the guards. He unleashed his Diamond Palm, striking their heads heavily.
"Thud! Thud!"
With two muffled groans, the guards collapsed to the ground.
After dealing with them, Wang Bin turned and signaled to Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao, who finally relaxed, almost having fired their guns.
