Shi Xuan counted and replied, "Six people. Three of them are holding iron pipes, and the rest are carrying knives."
Yao Ran tugged the rope hard a few times while Shi Xuan was getting ready to fight.
Soon, Long Yu and Huang Qian came out of the water, bringing four liquefied gas cylinders with them. As they were loading the gas cylinders into the motorboat, another motorboat stopped a few meters away from them.
Six burly men held weapons and looked at them. When their eyes fell on Yao Ran's face, their eyes lit up.
Nowadays, it is rare to see a beautiful woman who looks clean and healthy. Today is their lucky day! After tasting those scrawny and dirty women, they finally had a chance to taste this beauty.
A bald, middle-aged man stepped forward and said haughtily, "We have taken over this liquefied gas station. Be smart and hand over what you have collected."
After finishing speaking, a man with a mohawk hair said, "Big Brother, we don't have a diving mask or a headlamp."
The bald man chuckled and pointed at Long Yu and the others, "Isn't this easy? Just let them salvage the gas from the water and give it to us."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and added, "Ah, right. Left behind the motorboat, supplies, and that little beauty. We might consider letting you live."
Yao Ran looked at them and sneered. These people acted so domineeringly and confidently. They were obviously members of some gang.
In a society where order and law have collapsed, it has become a world of thugs and criminals. In such a world, strength is the ruler.
Those six men didn't care what Yao Ran and others thought. They talked, laughed, and acted like they already had everything in their pockets.
Yao Ran exchanged glances with the other three and took out their weapons. She then smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you can come and get it yourself."
When the bald man and other thugs heard her clear voice, their hearts itched, and they couldn't wait any longer to taste her.
The bald man rubbed his hands impatiently and laughed, "Little beauty, brother is coming." The men laughed obscenely as one of them drove slowly toward Long Yu's motorboat while the others looked at Yao Ran like hungry wolves looking at their prey.
When the distance was less than two meters, Yao Ran calmly raised the nail gun and shot it directly into the middle of the bald man's forehead.
Stab!
Thud!
A second later, the bald man fell to the bottom of the boat, blood oozing from the wound on his forehead. When he took his last breath, his eyes were wide open, full of confusion and unwillingness.
This scene dumbfounded his companions. Before they could react, Long Yu, Shi Xuan, and Huang Qian moved and jumped toward their motorboat.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
In just a few seconds, the three of them killed all the remaining five men. All of them had long slashing wounds on their necks.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As they fell one after another, those thugs still didn't understand what was happening. They could only see Long Yu and his two brothers look down at them coldly.
Yao Ran watched thoughtfully as they effortlessly killed a group of people in a short time. She stared at them for a moment, then looked away and steered the motorboat closer to the other
one.
She climbed over and began to check the thug's motorboat while Long Yu, Shi Xuan, and Huang Qian threw the six bodies into the water. After they were done, Yao Ran looked at them and sighed.
Long Yu turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"These people must just come out from their lair. There are only a few bottles of mineral water here." She responded and handed the mineral water to Long Yu.
"Captain, the motorboat is in good condition. We can take it away." Shi Xuan said after checking the engine.
Long Yu nodded, "Good. You can drive it back later. Huang Qian and I will go back to the liquefied gas station. There are still some gas cylinders left."
"Alright."
After resting for a while, Long Yu and Huang Qian returned to the water. Without wasting any more time, they moved all the gas cylinders out of the liquefied gas station.
Long Yu and Huang Qian lifted it out of the water while Yao Ran and Shi Xuan pulled it up. The four of them worked hard together under the heavy rain.
Today, they were lucky enough to find 28 gas cylinders, which, if divided equally, would be sufficient to last them for several months. Before leaving, Long Yu went back to the station for the last time and brought back several small gas stoves.
He sat on the motorboat to rest and said to Shi Xuan, "Shi Xuan, take a look at them later. See if you can repair these gas stoves."
Shi Xuan nodded, "Alright."
The liquefied gas cylinders were big and heavy, and both motorboats were full. Seeing that the cylinders would shake a lot with a slight movement of the boat, Yao Ran tied them to the
motorboat with ropes.
After securing all the liquefied gas cylinders, she reached into her backpack and took out four chocolate bars from the space. She gave them to others to replenish their energy. After regaining their strength, Shi Xuan and Huang Qian jumped into another motorboat.
Long Yu and Yao Ran were in his motorboat, followed by Shi Xuan and Huang Qian from behind in the other motorboat. They divided into two teams and drove two motorboats back to the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
Retrieving liquefied gas cylinders from the water is difficult, but transporting them safely back is even more difficult. With so many gas cylinders, it naturally attracted many people.
On the way back, they met others looking for supplies. When those people saw those gas cylinders and the two motorboats, those people's eyes were filled with envy.
