"The Tiger Head Gang is one of the four major gangs in our city, controlling the West Side. The gang leader is Brother Hu, and he has over sixty men under him. They seem to have more than ten guns, making them quite formidable. The three people who surrounded you today were from the Tiger Head Gang. I wanted you to chase that person down to prevent the news from spreading, but unfortunately, he got away!"

"Do they know where you live?"

"Yes, they know the general direction, but not the exact location!"

"Where is the Tiger Head Gang's hideout?"

"It's in the tallest building of the Seven-Color Splendid Garden in the West Side. The building is very sturdy, and there used to be a large supermarket there. After they took over the building, all the supplies there became theirs!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin immediately dismissed the idea of seeking revenge. With over sixty people and more than ten guns, they were not something he could handle.

Besides the Tiger Head Gang, Guan Xiaoyue also introduced Wang Bin to the other three gangs. The Mad Sand Gang in the East Side was the strongest, led by Brother Xing, with over a hundred men and more than twenty guns. Next was the Giant Bear Gang in the North Side, led by Brother Xiong, with just under a hundred men and a dozen guns. The weakest was the Flying Eagle Gang in the South Side, led by Brother Fei, with only over forty men and seven or eight guns. However, they also had some dynamite and grenades, so despite being the weakest, the other gangs didn't dare provoke them.

These four gangs each controlled a part of the city and did not infringe on each other's territories.

Apart from these four gangs, there were some loners. They either gathered in small groups or lived alone like Guan Xiaoyue. Currently, there were less than a thousand people left in the city.

Most of the two million people had turned into zombies, with some fleeing to other places.

Hearing that this city once had over two million people but now had less than a thousand, Wang Bin couldn't help but sigh.

After listening to Guan Xiaoyue's introduction, Wang Bin had a rough understanding of the city.

"By the way, do you know if there's a vault in this city?"

"I'm not sure. I've checked the bank service halls before, and aside from some useless money, there was nothing there. I guess when the apocalypse first hit, the banks were looted, and all the valuables were taken! If there's a place that might still have gold, it's most likely the building where the Mad Sand Gang is located in the East Side. It used to be the largest bank building here, and it seems the armored cars used to deliver money there for safekeeping!"

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

"I see, it seems moving gold from there would be a bit troublesome!"

"I advise you to give up on that idea. The Mad Sand Gang is not to be trifled with!"

"Got it, let's sleep!"

"Okay!"

The two each found a room to stay in. Wang Bin, listening to the moaning of zombies downstairs, found it hard to fall asleep. He had no choice but to take out his phone, put on his headphones, and listen to music.

That night, the Tiger Head Gang searched the villa area but couldn't find the two of them. They even lost one person and injured three, making Brother Hu, the gang leader, very angry.

He sent out a message that anyone who provided information on Guan Xiaoyue and Wang Bin's whereabouts would be rewarded with a bottle of red wine and a bag of rice.

The loners living in the West Side were excited upon hearing this news. A bag of rice, if rationed, was enough for one person to live on for a month or two. Red wine was even more coveted; in the current apocalyptic world, it was a luxury item not everyone could afford.

Even members of the Tiger Head Gang only received a bottle as a reward for meritorious service.

For a while, many loners in the West Side came out to search for Guan Xiaoyue and Wang Bin's whereabouts to claim the reward.

Originally, Guan Xiaoyue planned to take Wang Bin to find jewelry and gold the next day, but seeing people passing by downstairs from time to time made her wary.

In the past, seeing a person on the street was rare, but now, over ten people had passed by their small building in just one morning, which was unusual.

Fortunately, there were zombies outside the small building and inside the house, so people wouldn't think they were hiding upstairs.

"Something seems off!"

"What is it?"

"Usually, everyone stays in their hideouts. Why are so many people out and about today?"

"Yes, now that you mention it, it does seem odd!"

"I guess the Tiger Head Gang is offering a reward for finding us. I think we should stay put for a couple of days and lay low!"

"Okay!"

The Tiger Head Gang had done this before, so Guan Xiaoyue quickly figured out what was going on.

***

Wang Bin felt a bit scared upon hearing this and didn't dare to go out. The two stayed in the house for three days.

They had enough food and water to last a few more days, but they noticed that the Tiger Head Gang seemed to be organizing people to search the houses.

"Brother Wang, they'll search here in a day. We can't stay here!"

"Okay, where should we go?"

"How about we temporarily hide in the Giant Bear Gang's territory in the North Side? The Tiger Head Gang wouldn't dare go there!"

"Alright, let's sneak out tonight under the cover of darkness."

After discussing, they rested up and waited until after ten at night to sneak out.

With Guan Xiaoyue leading the way, they managed to avoid danger and quickly covered several kilometers.

But just as they were about to leave the West Side, they accidentally stepped into a trap set by the Tiger Head Gang, exposing their whereabouts.

"Brother Hu is smart, having people search the city and setting traps at the borders, saying you'd definitely try to leave!"

After stepping into the trap, five or six people emerged from the surrounding ruins, one of them holding a gun and looking at them smugly.

"Come back with us. Brother Hu has questions for you."

Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue knew that going back with them would likely mean death, so they didn't want to return. But now, the other side had a gun, and people were blocking their way.

Guan Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and threw the dagger in her hand at the man holding the gun.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out as the man's arm was hit by Guan Xiaoyue's dagger, causing him to drop the gun in pain.

"Brother Bao, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Catch them for me. I want to skin them alive!"

"Yes, Brother Bao!"

As soon as Guan Xiaoyue threw the dagger, she pulled Wang Bin and ran back. The two quickly disappeared into the night, leaving Brother Bao fuming with rage.

He had been careless. Most people would have been scared stiff at the sight of a gun, but he hadn't expected Guan Xiaoyue to be so bold, and her knife-throwing skills were impressive.

By the time he pulled out the dagger and picked up the gun to chase them, Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue were long gone.

The two of them hid and dodged along the way, finally finding an empty house.

"It seems other places are guarded too. It's going to be hard for us to escape!"

Although the Tiger Head Gang only had over sixty people, the other loners, motivated by the reward, were also helping them.

The Tiger Head Gang members usually moved in groups, making them easy to avoid, but the loners posed a bigger problem. They typically stayed near their hideouts, and it was easy for them to spot Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue as they passed by. Once their location was known, the Tiger Head Gang would quickly surround and kill them.
