Chapter 843 Extreme Apocalypse 7
Chapter 843 Extreme Apocalypse 7
“You can go, but not alone. I’ll go into the water with you.”
Li Yanjing was still worried about her going into the water alone; he knew he couldn't just leave without going himself.
"Okay, we'll do it your way." Ruan Chutong could also bring a helper, like someone to break down the door or something.
Gao Mingcheng glanced at the two of them, then, realizing that his swimming skills might not be as good as theirs, he ultimately remained silent.
*
Half an hour later, the assault boat stopped at the designated location.
Gao Mingcheng and Li Xinyan watched as Ruan Chutong and Li Yanjing jumped into the water at the same time.
"Be careful, and pull the rope immediately if there is any danger."
Before going into the water, they found two large bundles of rope and had the two people in the water tie them to their bodies so that they could pull them up in time if there was any danger.
Ruan Chutong's refusal was useless; all three were adamant that she wouldn't be allowed into the water unless she was tied up.
With no other option, she had to tie a rope around her waist.
Once in the water, the two swam downstream using the light of their flashlights.
There is pressure underwater, and the pressure increases the deeper you go.
With a height of three stories, it would take them some effort to break down the shop door despite the resistance.
Ruan Chutong thought for a moment, then took out two hammers from her spatial storage and handed one to Li Yanjing.
Before coming down, he suggested finding a door-breaking tool, and Ruan Chutong said she had one in her space, so they came down without wasting time.
The door to this diving equipment store is made of transparent glass, which is easier to open than a metal sliding door.
It took the two of them a while to finally break down the door. Once inside, one of them collected the items and piled them up, while the other stored them in his spatial storage.
On the water, Gao Mingcheng and Li Xinyan watched the kayak getting closer and closer to them.
Both of them held a baseball bat in their hands, their eyes wary; these were given to them by Ruan Chutong before she left.
But when they saw that each of these people was holding a watermelon knife, their expressions became slightly serious.
There were seven people on the kayak, and a lot of supplies were also on it.
Judging from their appearance, they must have just returned from collecting supplies somewhere, or perhaps they robbed someone.
Because these guys were a bit shady, they didn't look like respectable people.
"We've got our eye on this assault boat, and we'll leave the supplies behind. Just jump into the water and we'll let you go."
A short, fat man stared greedily at the assault boat and the supplies on it, as if they were already his.
On rainy days, they get soaked when they go outside, and the kayak isn't as fast as the speedboat.
Moreover, the assault boat was equipped with a rain canopy, so how could they let it go?
Li Xinyan's face darkened upon hearing this: "Pah, it's not even dark yet, and you're already daydreaming."
Gao Mingcheng wondered to himself how to deal with these people without suffering any losses.
At the same time, I felt a little uneasy, not expecting that someone would openly rob me so soon.
"Since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll just send you on your way."
"Wait, Brother Lu, look, they're still holding ropes. Does that mean there are still people underwater? Do you think there might be something good here?"
A tall, thin man with shifty eyes said with a glint in his eye.
Upon hearing this, the man called Brother Lu indeed looked at the rope in Li Xinyan and the other person's hands.
He turned to the people standing behind him and asked, "Does anyone know what shops are around here?"
"Brother Lu, we don't know what happened after the flood."
"Yes, you can't tell, but this used to be a commercial street, and there are hardly any buildings to block the view in this area."
A bald man standing at the back hesitated for a moment and said, "There seems to be a diving equipment shop here, but the rest are all clothing stores."
"Diving equipment? With this, we can go underwater and retrieve supplies, right?"
"Great, this diving equipment is ours."
As he spoke, Brother Lu gave Li Xinyan a few more lewd glances.
"Tie these two up first, push the man into the water, take the woman back to play with, and when the person in the water comes up with something, just take control of them."
"Alright, with so many of us, these two can't possibly fight back."
Tall, long-legged men strode across the kayak when it was not far from the speedboat.
Gao Mingcheng and Li Xinyan had been on guard against them, and they had heard their words clearly. Naturally, they couldn't let their plan succeed.
As this person approached, Gao Mingcheng gave Li Xinyan a wink.
Then he quickly dropped the baseball bat and, before anyone could react, threw himself to the ground.
He grabbed the man's legs with both hands and pulled him inward forcefully.
The man lost his balance and fell backward. Enraged, he tried to slash Gao Mingcheng with the watermelon knife in his hand.
Li Xinyan had already caught the rope that Gao Mingcheng threw at her when he fell to the ground.
She tied both ropes together to the canopy rope of the assault boat.
Now that he had a free hand, he saw that this person wanted to take out a knife to slash someone, although it looked like he couldn't hurt Gao Mingcheng.
But she still took the baseball bat and hit the man's arm hard with it.
"Ouch—that hurts!!"
With a splash, the man fell into the water and, in pain, dropped the knife he was holding onto the speedboat.
"Third brother, get on quickly." Seeing that his men had a bad start, Brother Lu had someone pull him onto the kayak.
His expression was grim as he stared at the two men on the speedboat: "Let's go together. What can these two do to several of us?"
When Gao Mingcheng got up, he picked up his baseball bat and the knife, and then handed the knife to Li Xinyan: "Take this for self-defense, and be careful."
"Okay, fine." Li Xinyan held a knife in one hand and a stick in the other, then stared intently at the people.
It was Gao Mingcheng's surprise attack that allowed him to get the person into the water without getting hurt.
Now that several people are coming together, they have to be even more careful.
Because Ruan Chutong and the other person are still underwater, they cannot leave now and can only hold out until they return to provide support.
There were six more people on the assault boat, leaving only Brother Lu on the kayak to keep watch.
Because everyone was engaged in a chaotic battle, the assault boats were swaying precariously, making it easy for them to lose their footing and fall into the water.
Both Gao Mingcheng and Li Xin are quite agile.
Taking advantage of the heavy rain affecting hearing and the gloomy weather affecting vision, they tried every means to get their opponents into the water.
They also knew that they would easily get injured when facing a watermelon knife, so they would knock the opponent's weapon away or throw it far away as soon as they came at them.
However, people don't die if they fall into the water, and they can quickly climb back up.
So a whack-a-mole game was created, with Li Xinyan and Gao Mingcheng each defending one side.
The two men each held a stick, and if anyone tried to climb up, they would smash their heads or break their hands.
"Ouch, ouch."
"My hand hurts so much."
"My head, don't hit my head."
