Chapter 121: Retreat
Watching this group of people talking in the distance, Yao Ran thought for a while and used wood element energy to connect with the surrounding trees and plants. As soon as the connection was established, she heard their conversation.
"A woman is hiding on the rooftop."
Hearing this, one of the five women glanced at the leading man and asked, "Do you want her?"
The leading man chuckled and then grabbed the woman. He kissed her passionately and then asked with a smirk, "Are you jealous?"
The woman snorted but said nothing more.
"....." Yao Ran watched from the rooftop and became speechless.
Although the number of poisonous moths has decreased significantly, some are still flying around and occasionally attacking humans.
In this kind of life-and-death situation, the man can still kiss the woman passionately. They are really not afraid of death.
After the man finished teasing that woman, he looked at the others and said, "That woman is wearing protective clothing. She should be the owner of this villa. To be able to own this luxurious villa, she must be rich and have a lot of supplies."
"Lao Niu, take five brothers and capture her alive. The rest of you, search around to see if there is anyone else here."
He gave the order, and his companions said, "Yes, Boss."
On the rooftop, Yao Ran eavesdropped on their conversation and sneered. Her eyes were cold, and she muttered, "Courting death."
As soon as her words disappeared into the wind, Lao Niu and five other men walked into her shooting range. Yao Ran pulled the trigger without hesitation and shot Lao Niu in the head.
Psyiu~ Thud!
The bullet pierced the forehead, and within a second, Lao Niu fell to the muddy ground. Seeing blood seeping from his forehead, the other five men came back to their senses.
The leader looked at the cracked stone and felt a chill run down his spine. If he had stood a few steps closer to the villa, it would have been his head that had cracked, not the stone.
After a moment of silence, the man gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat."
Hearing this, the woman he kissed earlier asked, "Are we leaving just like this?"
The man didn't answer her, and the woman sneered, "A Hu, don't tell me you're afraid of that bitch."
The man listened to her words and said, "Stop talking. She could see us."
After saying that, he asked the others with a frown, "Still not leaving? Are you waiting for her to kill you?"
Now that their leader has given the order, others can only follow. Seeing that he was really left, the woman looked toward the rooftop for a few seconds, then turned around and left.
On the rooftop, Yao Ran's face darkened when she saw them leaving. Outnumbered, Yao Ran could only give up her plan to kill them. After the intruders left, Yao Ran packed up her sniper rifle and went downstairs to continue her training.
A few hours later, Long Yu, Huang Qian, and Shi Xuan returned in a motorboat. When Long Yu saw her coming out, he said, "Yao Ran, Huang Qian will stay here to guard the villa. Can you go back with us? Jia Xiang's wound is infected, and she needs your help." Hearing this, Yao Ran did not object and just told them about the group of people who came before. As soon as the other three heard this, they knew that they wouldn't be able to stay here for long.
After they loaded some things Yao Ran found in the villa and more beef onto the motorboat, she followed Long Yu and Shi Xuan back to the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
After sending Yao Ran home and moving the supplies to Long Yu's apartment, Long Yu and Shi Xuan went to find Yuan Rihui with the beef.
The first thing Yao Ran did after returning home was to take a shower in her space. After taking a shower and changing clothes, Yao Ran finally felt like he was alive.
After leaving the space, she went to check on Jia Xiang, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi with her medicine box.
When Deng Qiqi opened the door and saw her there, she said, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, you are
finally back."
Yao Ran looked at her worried look and asked, "How is Jia Xiang's condition?"
Deng Qiqi led her to the master bedroom and said, "Elder Sister Jia Xiang suddenly had a fever this morning. We gave her antipyretic medicine, but it had no effect."
