Chapter 253: You Guys Are Fearless
On the 20th floor, Yao Ran had already packed most of her and Long Yu's belongings into her space, leaving only a few supplies in the corridor. After she finished moving her supplies to the corridor, she went to help Deng Qiqi and Huang Zhihui.
At the same time, Long Yu, Shi Xuan, Huang Qian, and Jia Xiang were busy on the rooftop. They drain the remaining water from the water towers into smaller containers before dismantling it.
In the midst of their busy schedules, Old Han arrived.
Seeing the metal door blocking the stairs to the 19th floor removed confirmed his suspicions. He gathered his courage and went up to the 20th floor.
There, he saw supplies piled up in the corridor and felt a little bit envious of Long Yu and his group. If only he was as strong as they were, then his family might have had a better life.
While he was thinking, Yao Ran came out from unit 2001, carrying a box of utensils. She recognized him and asked, "Building Manager, what brings you here?"
Startled by her cold tone, he smiled nervously and asked, "Miss Yao, are you all leaving?" Yao Ran nodded, "Yes. Did you need something?"
Old Han opened the small wooden box, revealing an imperial jade bracelet of impeccable quality, each bead uniform in size and purity.
Yao Ran looked at the bracelet for a moment and asked, "Building Manager, what do you want?"
Old Han replied, "Miss Yao, I'd like to follow you and your friends when you guys leave. This bracelet is my payment."
Yao Ran frowned slightly when she heard his request. While she didn't mind helping them by selling water to them, letting them join her group was another matter.
Seeing that she was silent, Old Han quickly added, "We will follow from a distance. We won't disturb you or ask for protection."
"We?" Yao Ran asked. "Who is 'we'?"
Old Han hesitated before replying, "The other survivors also want to follow your group."
Realizing he was their representative, Yao Ran thought for a moment and said, "You can follow us, but as you said, we are not responsible for your safety. You must gather your own supplies, protect your families, and keep up with us on your own."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Old Han had expected this and agreed. "Understood."
"My legs!"
Three men screamed in pain and fell to the dirty ground while the others froze in shock. Seeing the blood of their teammates staining the ground red, they were trembling with fear. When they raised their eyes and saw Yao Ran aiming her gun at them, one man came back to his senses and screamed, "She has a gun! Run!"
Hearing his shout, another man suddenly came to his senses and wanted to run away. Before The could take a step, Yao Ran pulled the trigger again.
Bang! Bang!
The two men fell to the ground, bleeding from their thighs and screaming like the others.
"Ah!"
"Damn it! She is really crazy!"
Yao Ran approached them and said coldly, "Daring to steal from us... You guys are fearless."
When the men saw her icy expression, they realized they were doomed.
One of them, trembling, pointed at the bald man and said, "It was him! He told us we could get food and water if we helped him open your trucks."
The bald man nearly vomited three liters of old blood out of frustration when his teammate betrayed him. Gritting his teeth, he tried to confront Yao Ran, even as he endured the pain in
his thigh.
He glared at her and asked, "What do you want?"
Yao Ran raised her eyebrows at his words. She sneered, "You came to steal from me, and you
still dare act so arrogant? I think you don't want to live anymore."
"You dare?!" The bald man shouted, enraged.
Yao Ran chuckled and coldly said, "You will see if I dare or not."
