Chapter 15: Ruined if you Lose
Three days ago, when Li Tianran saw that post, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought that some people were curious.
But now, seeing the overwhelming missing persons posters, Li Tianran finally confirmed that the other party intended to bite him and not let go.
Although he was unsure of the other party's identity, he was certain that they were not official personnel.
Otherwise, they wouldn't use this kind of reward-based method to search for someone.
And once it involved the civilian population, Li Tianran became suspicious of the other party's intentions.
After all, he had always believed in a saying: when someone is willing to offer a huge reward for certain information, that information must bring them even greater benefits.
In this kind of environment, Li Tianran didn't dare to gamble with his and Hanhan's fate to test whether the other party's intentions were good or bad.
He glanced at those posts and found that although there were replies below, most of them were from curious netizens who couldn't provide accurate information at all.
Seeing this, Li Tianran felt relieved.
After all, the world was in chaos now, and everyone was racking their brains for their own survival. They didn't have much energy to pay attention to a vague post on an online forum...
And since the Era of Destruction, it seemed that the internet police responsible for the security of this online forum had not come back online.
Li Tianran didn't continue to think about it.
"This is indeed a problem. I need to find a way to solve it quickly, otherwise, I won't be able to rest easily." Li Tianran looked at the names on those missing persons posters, fell into silence for a long time, and felt that instead of waiting for death, it would be better to take the initiative.
He decided to unveil the true face of the other party before they discovered his identity.
This way, he would be in the dark while the other party was in the light!
...
The next day, Li Tianran was still busy all day.
After finishing his nightly patrol and guard duty routine, it was already around one o'clock in the morning when he finished washing up.
Li Tianran lay down on his bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long it had passed when he was suddenly awakened by a harsh alarm.
"Warning! Intruders detected!"
"There are seven intruders, males, armed with iron knives, sticks, hammers. Threat level: 19!"
"The intruders are damaging the walls and iron gates. Should we strike back?"
Li Tianran jumped up from his bed, his bloodshot eyes glaring at the screen that automatically popped up in front of him, transmitting the images from the patrol guards!
Seven burly men, wielding various weapons, were ferociously smashing and breaking the farm's iron gates. Some were attempting to climb over the walls, and a few medium-sized trucks were parked in the distance with two figures standing beside the leading truck.
Li Tianran squinted his eyes, carefully identified them for a moment, and his anger surged up immediately!
He recognized one of the figures among the two.
It was fucking Zhong Ling!
"... " Li Tianran remained expressionless, but his pupils slightly narrowed.
But don't think that his emotions didn't fluctuate. In fact, this was his expression of extreme anger!
Two days ago, Zhong Ling called wanting to buy grain but was rejected, resulting in a complete falling out with Li Tianran. And now, in the late night two days later, seven or eight burly men armed with various weapons were attempting to break open the farm's main gate, while Zhong Ling and another man stood quietly in the distance, watching...
Does one need to think carefully about the story behind this?
"Zhong Ling, you really have no regard for human decency!" Li Tianran jumped off the bed, put on his padded jacket, and gave instructions to all the elite guards on the farm.
Gather at the main gate!
Buzzing!
In no time, dozens of hummingbird-level elite guards and the hunting dog-level guard rushed at an incredibly fast speed!
When Li Tianran reached the location of the main gate, two individuals had already climbed over the wall and were preparing to jump down!
"Xiao Ling, your information is correct, right? Does this Li Tianran really have grain?" Sun Dayou frowned and asked beside the car. "I spent quite a bit of money hiring these people. If we end up empty-handed, we'll suffer a big loss!"
"Don't worry... There's a large warehouse on this farm. I was just here a few days ago and saw the mountains of stored grain inside. It can definitely fill several large trucks!" Zhong Ling whispered.
"Good! If this plan goes smoothly, we won't have to worry about food and can even make a fortune..." Sun Dayou grinned.
Zhong Ling narrowed her eyes, skillfully concealing the trace of disgust in her gaze.
The man standing beside her was the deputy general manager of her former company, several years older than her and ugly in appearance, incomparable to Li Tianran.
But he had money and status!
After their fight and breakup with Li Tianran that day, in a fit of anger, she sought solace in his arms, creating a seamless connection.
She had thought that by letting go of her pride, she could embrace a better life. But she never expected the sudden turn of events that instantly threw her from heaven into hell.
After the Era of Destruction, the price of grain skyrocketed.
Li Tianran, who had once been like an ugly duckling, had now become a beautiful swan, causing the sharp pain of regret to penetrate Zhong Ling's heart.
It was just the phone call from two days ago that ruthlessly stabbed her pride, making it impossible for her to swallow her pride and go back to Li Tianran. So, with a cruel heart, she joined forces with Sun Dayou and some others, planning to forcefully attack the farm during the night and rob Li Tianran of his grain!
If the raid plan didn't go smoothly, she had a backup plan.
That was to burn down the warehouse!
If she couldn't have it, she would destroy it!
That's how women are.
That's the most malicious revenge in a woman's heart!
"Second, third, hurry up!" Sun Dayou urged.
"Don't rush! This wall is too high. I'm still looking for a place to jump down..." the two men sitting on the wall grumbled unhappily. They sat on the dark wall and glanced into the farm.
"The intruders have entered the automatic counterattack range! Annihilation will commence!"
Suddenly, a pair of azure eyes appeared beneath the dark wall, emitting a cold and icy gleam, while a mechanical-like voice sounded!
"Damn it!"
"What the hell is this?"
The two burly men angrily shouted.
Then, a flash of fire was seen!
Boom!
Two muffled gunshots rang out.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The bodies of the two men sitting on the wall stiffened before falling straight down from the wall!
"What the hell! Are they dead?"
"What about the head? Is Second's head crushed?"
"Damn it, Sun Dayou! This kid has guns on the farm! I curse your ancestors for eight generations!"
A desperate scream came from outside the iron gate.
Li Tianran stood in the darkness, looking coldly at the scene.
He had had the time to stop the hunting dog-level guard from killing, but he didn't do it. These people in front of him intended to forcefully enter the farm armed with various weapons. If it weren't for the wall blocking them, he and Hanhan would have died at the hands of these thugs today!
In the midst of the apocalypse, Li Tianran never hesitated to assume the worst possible intentions when it came to human nature.
People who lost their humanity in the apocalypse were more terrifying than the apocalypse itself!
Li Tianran raised his head, his eyes blending with the darkness.
He slowly uttered four words.
"Annihilate them all!"
