บท 14: Chapter 14、Daytime Deathmatch! The Grenade Suddenly Went Off!
Yi Bai jerked awake and quickly looked up at the ceiling. Li Ya beside him tightened her grip on her pistol and nervously glanced at the door from time to time. Soon, the sound of gunshots and the screams and curses of people fighting could be heard upstairs.
"It's the window! Over there by the window!"
"Damn it, it's a woman! Is she from the downstairs apartment?"
"I don't know! Brother Li, my brother's gone! He's dead! He's dead!"
"Fuck! I don't want to wait any longer. You're such a shitty strategist. Brother Li, don't listen to him anymore! Let's go get revenge now!"
"One grenade will do the trick. Smash that bitch! That stinking woman dared to counterattack us!"
"Wait! Brother Li, she's shown up. There's probably no one downstairs. It's just a single-room apartment. We can't waste the grenade on an empty house!"
"I remember a man lived downstairs. When did it change to a woman?"
Chaotic voices kept coming from upstairs. Yi Bai listened intently, his expression solemn. So they'd actually got their hands on grenades! No wonder Lin Yue had suddenly opened fire. She was drawing their fire to prevent them from coming after Yi Bai with the grenades.
"Shh..." Li Ya put her finger to her lips, signaling Yi Bai to keep quiet. If the enemy found out there were still people downstairs at this moment, the two of them would surely die. In such a cramped space, they'd take the full brunt of a grenade explosion!
Sure enough, within a few minutes, there was a rustling sound outside the door. Yi Bai's hairs stood on end. Through a mirror deliberately placed in the corner for reflection, he saw a pupil moving in the gap of the iron door. Someone was spying on the room from outside, pressing up against the iron door, their eyes darting around like a demon, making Yi Bai's hairs stand on end.
After a while, a shout came from outside the door.
"Brother Li! There's no one downstairs. Not a sound! But this iron door is locked tight. She doesn't seem to have left through the main door!"
An echo came from upstairs soon.
"Sure enough! That woman got out. She climbed through the window to sneak attack us!"
"Damn it! That stinking woman is like Spider-Man! Search the whole building! We must catch her!"
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Brother Li, hand her over to me once we catch her. I want to avenge my brother. I'll kill this bitch with my own hands!"
The sound of footsteps came from upstairs as the thugs seemed to be mobilizing their men.
"Brother Li, I'll follow you. I think you're the toughest. It's safer with you!"
"Cut the crap. Check your guns. Let the strategist carry the grenades!"
"Are there enough bullets? That woman's marksmanship was really accurate last night! Don't be careless!"
"Split into two teams. We'll start the search from the top floor. You guys go to the first floor! We'll all search towards the middle!"
"Don't miss any room, and check every window on each floor carefully!"
"Remember what the strategist said. Move it! Catch her!"
The thugs upstairs started to move, and soon the sound of footsteps could be heard in the corridor. Yi Bai clenched his teeth tightly, a cold glint of hatred in his eyes. These bastards! I haven't done anything to them, but they're determined to kill me! Lin Yue, you have to survive! Whether it was for his own safety or Lin Yue's, Yi Bai desperately hoped that Lin Yue would be okay at this moment.
About ten minutes later—
"Rat-a-tat-tat!" Another burst of gunfire came from downstairs.
"Damn it! That woman's on the second floor!"
"The strategist is dead! The strategist is dead!"
"Fuck, her marksmanship is too accurate. She got a headshot!"
"Which room on the second floor? Have you caught her?"
Yi Bai heard them. It seemed that Brother Li was leading his men rushing downstairs in a hurry, shouting anxiously as he went: "What happened to my strategist?"
"Brother Li, the strategist is gone! That woman's in the room on the right side of the second floor. We searched this place before, and the door was open."
"Damn it! Lao Song! Lao Song! You bunch of useless idiots! Can't even protect the strategist! What are you standing there for? Don't be afraid to go in and catch her!"
"Brother Li... That woman is really spooky. Her marksmanship is too accurate."
It was chaos downstairs. Yi Bai listened nervously for a long time, but no new gunshots rang out. Obviously, the thugs didn't dare to rush into the room immediately, which gave Lin Yue time to escape. They hadn't caught her.
"Damn it! There's no one here. Keep searching!"
"Stinking woman, I'll tear you apart! Where's my grenade? Give it to me!"
"Brother Li, it's on the floor... Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!"
Another burst of gunfire came from the top floor. Some unlucky guy was shot dead without even getting a chance to warn anyone. Brother Li was almost beside himself with rage and led his men stomping upstairs, only to find nothing again.
"You bunch of useless fools! Hold her back! Hold her back until I get there!" Brother Li was almost mad with anger, and his men didn't dare to talk back. They seemed to be terrified of him. But they were also afraid of Lin Yue. The more they trembled, the greater their fear of Lin Yue grew. This woman was as elusive as a ghost. She'd shoot and kill, and then change positions right away. If they hesitated even a little, they'd never catch her. And she was really smart, deliberately avoiding Brother Li and only targeting his subordinates.
"Good, very good!" Yi Bai clenched his fists tightly, beads of sweat constantly popping out on his forehead without him even noticing, murmuring nervously, "Well done, Lin Yue! Don't run into this Li guy. He must have some combat talent!"
"Boss, it's 10:30 am." Li Ya whispered in Yi Bai's ear to avoid being detected by the thugs outside the door. Yi Bai looked up at the wall clock. It had been hit by a stray bullet last night, and its body was in tatters. He could barely make out that the hands were still slowly ticking.
"Two more hours." Yi Bai gritted his teeth. Right now, the only thing he was worried about was the effect of the talent reward. He wasn't sure if the talent would actually work. After all, this was just the talent reward for a level 0 shelter. Even if he got what he desperately needed, what if it didn't come in handy? What if it couldn't solve the current predicament? Then it would really be a hopeless dead end! Yi Bai had no better options. All he could do was pray in his heart, feeling extremely tormented.
"If only I'd had a better start, if only there were no these thugs around me... Alas." Yi Bai let out a deep sigh. The heavens had given him an SSS-level talent but also placed such a bunch of crazy thugs beside him. It was truly a mixed blessing, with an ineffable sense of underlying fairness.
Time ticked by slowly, and the gunshots from both sides rang out non-stop, sometimes upstairs, sometimes downstairs, erratically. Now, even Yi Bai wasn't sure where Lin Yue was. He'd also taken a few risks to look out of the window but hadn't seen any sign of Lin Yue climbing the wall. God only knew how she managed to do it, hiding like a ghost. The not-so-big residential building had almost become Lin Yue's personal battlefield.
However, Lin Yue wasn't invincible. She'd been waging a guerrilla war, avoiding direct confrontation with the enemy and running away right after shooting. During the guerrilla warfare, Yi Bai heard the thugs pass by his door several times. That Brother Li had even suspected that Lin Yue had hidden back in the room and tried to force the door open. Fortunately, Li Ya was really good at reinforcing things, and Brother Li left empty-handed, so angry that he kicked the iron door several times.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate like this until it was 12:20 pm. Just when the new reward was about to be issued, suddenly, a deafeningly loud bang came from the rooftop.
"Boom!" The whole floor shook. Yi Bai lost his balance and staggered. He saw a large amount of dust and debris falling from the ceiling.
"It's a grenade!" Li Ya's eyes widened in horror, almost losing her voice. The enemy had used a grenade. They must have caught Lin Yue!
"Is she dead? Is she dead?" Yi Bai gritted his teeth and got up, looking at Li Ya. Li Ya shook her head silently. She didn't know. Right now, no one knew if Lin Yue was alive or dead.
After the grenade explosion, there were faint sounds of men laughing maniacally
