Chapter 66 No, We Still Have to Use It

"Brother Long, it's here!"

"Look at that iron fence they've set up, and all those locks on the door. They must have a lot of good stuff inside."

The man called Brother Long’s eyes lit up.

"Damn it, we’ve searched so many places, and found nothing good."

"Brothers, this time we’re really going to strike it rich!"

Twenty-four people cheered in unison!

Seeing the seven people standing beyond the electric fence—men and women alike—it was clear that the woman was quite attractive.

"You few, are you going to surrender willingly, or do I have to beat it out of you?"

Yun Jingcen crossed her arms and smiled lightly.

"Before you talk big, see if you can even get over here."

Since these people had chosen to be overconfident, there was no need for further words.

Then Brother Long instructed two men to dismantle the electric fence.

The two men rushed forward immediately.

"Ouch!"

As soon as their hands touched the fence, they felt a tingling sensation and retreated.

"Brother Long, there’s electricity running through it!"

Brother Long hit each of them with an iron rod.

"So what if there’s electricity?"

"You’re not dead, now get back there and take care of it."

"Yes."

The two men thought about it; the earlier shock was like static, not dangerous. They could endure it.

So they called for two more people to help.

Four people approached together, determined to remove the fence in one go.

However, this time, they were not as lucky.

"Ahh!"

"Shit!"

Duan Yan, hiding behind Cheng Yu, secretly increased the current. With a sizzling sound, the smell of burning flesh began to spread.

The four men retreated together.

One of them stumbled and rolled down the stairs, taking the others with him.

Immediately, cries of pain and curses echoed through the hallway.

Meng Ci couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing Liu Jie, who was at the bottom of the pile, grimacing, Meng Ci cursed him silently in his heart.

Brother Long was provoked by Meng Ci’s laughter and kicked the fallen men beside him.

"Damn it, get up already!"

"All you do is embarrass me!"

He then instructed some of the others to find wood to dismantle the iron fence.

The electric fence was only four layers high. Duan Yan had wrapped one end around the railing and nailed the other end to the wall. It would be easy to remove.

The reason it wasn’t reinforced wasn’t due to laziness, but because of the power issue.

Power generation relied entirely on a generator and diesel fuel, and the diesel supply was limited.

Duan Yan and the others didn’t know how long the storm would last, so they tried to conserve diesel whenever possible.

Thus, the generator only had two liters of diesel, producing only about ten kilowatts of electricity.

On normal days, the current was kept low, serving mainly as a deterrent.

Some cowards would leave upon seeing the electric fence, but these reckless individuals wouldn’t stop until they achieved their goal.

After shocking the four men, Duan Yan cut off the power. There was no need to waste electricity on these guys.

Duan Yan had previously informed Meng Ci and the others about this, so they had already tightened their grip on their weapons.

The group that had tumbled together had already gotten up.

Two of the four shocked men had suffered cardiac arrest and stopped breathing.

The other two, despite standing up, had twitching arms and couldn’t hold anything, their eyes vacant.

If they weren’t treated soon, they would likely die within half an hour, unaware of their fate.

Two men downstairs brought up some pieces of wood, intent on destroying the electric fence with a menacing air.

There was no way Meng Ci and the others would let them do that.

Meng Ci grabbed a bow, nocked an arrow, and with a swift sound, it struck the man's neck.

Due to the extreme cold, people were wearing many layers, so Meng Ci could only aim for exposed skin, making the target smaller and harder to hit accurately due to their movement.

The man, feeling the blood from his neck, moved faster in his attempt to destroy the electric fence.

Then, a bucket of cold water was splashed down.

The few standing at the front, unprepared, screamed out loud.

"My eyes, my eyes!"

In chaos, they stumbled and fell, some even tumbling over the railing.

Fang Shurui, who had done this, calmly put down the bucket.

"Damn it." Brother Long's eyes also stung from the pepper water, but since he was farther away, he quickly recovered.

With red eyes, Brother Long threatened them fiercely!

Seemingly enraged, some picked up the fallen wood and started destroying the electric fence.

Soon, the fence collapsed.

The Green Dragon Gang surged forward.

Meng Ci set aside the bow and arrow, wielding a long knife as he fought several men.

Shen Que and Cheng Yu, both strong and robust, easily overpowered the Green Dragon Gang, a bunch of rabble.

However, the sheer number of gang members overwhelmed them, and despite Cheng Yu's training, Yun Jingcen and the others couldn't hold out for long. Gradually, the gang pushed up to the seventeenth floor.

Fortunately, some of those doused with pepper water hadn't fully recovered yet.

Thus, Meng Ci and the others fought fiercely!

If they didn't resolve this quickly, the situation would become more complicated when the others below joined the fray.

Meng Ci and Shen Que stayed close, ready to assist each other if one was in danger.

Some of the gang members whose eyes had been injured by the pepper water gradually recovered and joined the fight.

Meng Ci felt the flashbang in his pocket; it seemed he had no choice but to use it.

Considering the two rooms without doors on either side, he could throw the flashbang and take cover there.

Yun Jingcen and the others defended the middle area, closer to the rooms on either side, to prevent the gang from reaching Ruan Qing's room.

Meng Ci and Shen Que positioned themselves near the makeshift wall, which further incited the gang members.

Such a thick wall meant there must be valuable items inside!

Each one imagined what treasures they might find.

"Move to the center!"

When Meng Ci and Shen Que approached, Meng Ci said.

Though Shen Que didn't know why, he followed Meng Ci to the center.

Gradually, the seven gathered together.

"In a moment, when I count to three, everyone run to the rooms on either side."

"Okay."

Meng Ci lowered his voice, reminding everyone to alert each other before starting the countdown.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Run!"

The seven did not linger, running to either side.

Meng Ci walked last, ensuring everyone entered the rooms before pulling out the flashbang and throwing it.

As he turned to enter the room, Meng Ci was caught off guard and slashed in the back, stumbling.

Shen Que, guarding the door, quickly reached out and pulled Meng Ci inside.
