Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2142 The city still needs to be unsealed!

The room was full of his team members, so Song Guangbiao had no reservations.

With Xiaogang having just informed him, he couldn't care less about anything else.

Inside the room, the men fell silent and stared at Song Guangbiao.

One of the taller henchmen asked:

"Brother, are you talking about the time we were robbing these things outside?" He simultaneously pulled out a stack of points number cards from his pocket.

Song Guangbiao covered his forehead with his hand and sighed:

"Yes! Let's think of a solution quickly!"

What else can be done?

The people in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.

escape?
Where to escape?
This is the trading market; to escape, they must pass through the trading market gate and the buffer city gate.

It's possible that the authorities also set up checkpoints at the entrance to the outskirts of the city.

How did they manage to escape from those three checkpoints?

Besides, the city is under lockdown now!
They can't even leave the trading market!

To run away is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"How about we arrest a group of people and take them into custody? That way we'll have hostages, at least giving us something to negotiate with," said a pockmarked man sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Heh!" Another middle-aged man with graying temples next to him sneered and retorted:
"Do you think this is before the apocalypse? We've been in Oil City for a while now, and the officials here in Oil City would never accept hostage coercion."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have killed so many people before!

The pockmarked man retorted:

"Then just arrest some important people, let's go to the official bank and kidnap the bank staff!"

The middle-aged man sneered, "What a joke!"

"The bank staff are only at level four. Why don't you go and arrest the patrol team members? They're at least level three."

"Do we have any weapons? We don't even have a knife!"

The bald, burly man suddenly stood up. "Shut up, all of you!"

He looked at the man with graying temples.

"Old Diao, since you say that controlling hostages won't work, what other methods do you have?"

Old Diao's eyes were full of helplessness as he sighed and said:

"We advised you against doing this, but you wouldn't listen. Now that things have come to this, we're all in the oil city. What can we do?"

As he spoke, he slowly stood up, took out two cards from his bag, and walked towards the door.

Upon seeing this, Song Guangbiao immediately shouted:

"Old Diao, where are you going?"

Old Diao slowly turned around, took a deep look at everyone in the room, and said with a complicated expression:
“We’re really at our wits’ end now. Knowing the oil city as we do, they’ll definitely investigate thoroughly. We can’t escape. Before the patrol team catches up with us, I’m going to have some fun in the commercial district.”

After saying that, he left the dormitory without looking back.

The remaining crowd looked terrified.

silence.

In this eerie silence, someone lowered their head and said:

"I don't want to die. I finally got so many points cards, and now..."

Some people sobbed softly, not knowing what to do.

Song Guangbiao stared blankly at the door, his expression extremely complicated.

He was naturally unwilling to surrender so easily, but as Lao Diao said, they had no weapons, so how could they cause trouble?

Even if we manage to capture a few hostages, what good will that do?

The people in the dormitory gradually left.

Song Guangbiao couldn't stop them either. What could he have done if he had stopped them now that things had come to this?
The arrest operation that has swept through the entire oil city is still ongoing.

The arrested suspects were all put on trucks and sent to the trading market jail.

Song Guangbiao walked into the corridor and suddenly remembered that Li Zhengping, the captain of the patrol team, seemed to be in the trading market as well.

An idea came to mind.

If we could capture the patrol team leader's wife and use her to threaten the oil city, wouldn't that save the city?
Thinking of this, he immediately ran downstairs.

It's a pity he didn't stop his men earlier; now he's all alone.

So he picked up the walkie-talkie and quickly called his other men to come over.

As he went downstairs, he carefully recalled the information about Li Zhengping's wife, Dai Xinyi.

It seems they went to the garment factory at the trading market.

When he came out of Area B, he saw many patrol teams riding electric scooters to arrest people.

Some people tried to escape, but the patrol team didn't hesitate to open fire.

The sound of gunfire terrified the residents.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Song Guangbiao escaped from the residential area.

After running away, he frantically contacted his men and told them the plan, asking them to come to the garment factory to gather and act together!
He dared not take the public electric bus, fearing he would be caught by someone lying in wait.

So he took some darker side streets and ran all the way to the garment factory.

When he arrived at the garment factory, he discovered that there were guards at the entrance.

Grass!
Seeing this scene, his heart sank.

After waiting a few minutes, he called out to his former subordinates again.

However, I have not received any reply.

Time is of the essence; if this drags on any longer, we could be arrested at any moment.

"Fine," he said, gritting his teeth as he looked at the wall beside him.

I've got an idea.

Climb over the wall and get in!

He looked at the low wall, took a few steps back, and prepared to jump over it.

Sudden.

Two lights shone on him.

“That’s right, it’s Song Guangbiao!” a patrolman in a green vest shouted.

Several patrol members rushed over.

Song Guangbiao still tried to struggle and continued running towards the wall.

boom!
A bullet hit his thigh, causing him to fall to the ground.

The patrolman stepped forward, shone a light on his face, and carefully compared the photo on the tablet.

"You didn't grab the wrong person."

"take away."

It's sizzling!

Tape was wrapped around Song Guangbiao's mouth, preventing him from speaking.

When Song Guangbiao was escorted to the electric truck, he saw A Diao and several other men sitting neatly in the truck.

When Lao Diao saw Song Guangbiao being brought over, he quickly said to the patrol team members:
"Sir, since I've turned myself in, could you spare my life? I'll help you catch them all!"

Squad leader Shen Yifan smiled and patted Lao Diao on the shoulder, saying:

"Okay, I'll report it for you and try to get a lighter punishment."

Seeing this scene, Song Guangbiao knew exactly what had happened.

He struggled, glaring angrily at Lao Diao, as if to say, "You traitor!"

They were just saying they were going to have some fun in the commercial district, but then they turned around and betrayed everyone.

So abominable.

The operation lasted for more than two hours. Of the 348 people in the oil city, 342 have been arrested, and six remain at large.

In addition, during these two hours, some suspects who returned from outside were immediately apprehended by Cao Le.

At the gate of the buffer city, 40 suspects were apprehended.

A total of 458 people were involved, and 382 have been arrested so far.

There are currently 70 people outside the oil city, and six more suspects are hiding in some corner of the oil city, bringing the total number of people still at large to 76.

The main city of the oil city.

Li Hang and Li Zhengping rushed to their third uncle's office.

As soon as he entered, Li Hang said to his third uncle:

"Third Uncle, there are still six people in the oil city, two in the buffer city, and four more should be in the trading market. Give me three more hours, and I'll definitely be able to capture them!"

"I've printed out the names and photos of these six people and posted them at various intersections in the oil city. Anyone who sees them will be rewarded if they report it!"

"In addition, I've instructed the surveillance team to keep a close watch on these six individuals, and to arrest them immediately if they are spotted!"

Uncle San gestured for Li Hang to sit down.

"Third Uncle, let's postpone the lifting of the lockdown for a few more hours!" Li Hang said urgently.

Third Uncle looked at him and said:
"Actually, delaying for a few more hours doesn't make much difference. As long as these six people stay in the oil city, they will definitely be caught later. It doesn't really matter if the lockdown is lifted, since there are surveillance cameras and card registration for leaving the city. If their photos are posted at the exit point, they won't be able to leave!"

"Since they can't leave, and they're stuck in the oil city, they don't dare use their points cards. What will they eat and where will they stay?"

"Furthermore, these suspects might be protected by someone. If that's the case, we can arrest them all at once!"

"It's enough to arrest most of the suspects now. Continuing the lockdown will have a significant impact on the current construction and other aspects of the oil city!"

Li Hang was still unwilling to give up: "We can mobilize all our forces to search!"

"Have all residents return to their dormitories, and we'll search each place one by one!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengping, who was standing next to Li Hang, was taken aback:
"Brother Hang, the oil city is too big, covering hundreds of thousands of acres. Searching every room one by one would be too much of a hassle."

Uncle San continued:

"Xiao Hang, leave the rest to the criminal investigation team. As for those suspects outside the city, if we know where they are, we can send a special team to arrest them!"

"The city will still be unsealed!"

"Sometimes, we also need to make good use of the power of the masses and let them help with the arrest!"

After hearing his third uncle's last words, Li Hang nodded thoughtfully.

11pm.

The lockdown, which lasted for ten hours, has finally ended.

In the final three hours, the residents of the oil city witnessed patrol teams arresting people everywhere.

They also witnessed some suspects die right in front of them.

At first, they thought it was just illegal possession of firearms, but now it seems that it's definitely more than that. Although the arrest operation is over, it has sparked discussion in various parts of the oil city.

"Didn't they say he was illegally possessing thirteen guns? How come hundreds of people have been arrested all of a sudden!"

"Wow~ thirteen guns, but they didn't say how many people there were. Look how decisive the authorities are, striking like lightning, quickly taking down so many people, and we haven't even heard of anyone getting injured!"

"No, no, if those people really had guns hidden away, there should have been a gunfight. Why didn't I see a gunfight? It seems like only the officials were firing their guns."

If those guys really had guns, why didn't they shoot?

"But I just heard gunshots. The operation covers the entire oil city. You've been staying in the commercial district, what could you possibly know?"

"Anyway, I feel like something's off about this."

"Oh, I can't chat with you guys anymore. The lockdown is finally over. I'm going out of the city to work."

The three-hour manhunt has finally come to an end.

During the arrest operation, 29 suspects resisted arrest and were shot dead on the spot.

Zizzi~
The broadcast from the oil city also started at that moment.

Luo Sanchang's voice spread throughout the entire oil city.

"Dear residents of the oil city, in the past three hours we have cleaned up a batch of toxic pests hiding around us!"

"These people who were just arrested have all seriously violated the regulations governing the oil city:"
They staked out on the roads, robbing and murdering groups of scavengers, stealing their points cards, and then spending them in the oil city.

His crime deserves death!

"Following our concentrated arrest operation, six individuals remain hiding in our oil city. They are: Zhao Deming (ID 945028); Sun Ming'e (ID 540723)."

"We hope these people will surrender voluntarily. If they surrender now, we may spare their lives. Otherwise, if they are caught, they will only face death."

"In addition, we hope that residents will actively report any sightings of these people to the patrol team. Once they are confirmed to be criminals, we will give them a reward of 20 points."

“If any residents help hide these six people, they will be punished in the same way once they are discovered!”

"There are currently 70 suspects outside the city. We have posted a detailed list on the notice board at the city gate. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with 20 to 100 points by the Oil City authorities!"

"At the same time, for your own personal safety and property security, I would like to offer two suggestions:
1. Scavengers leaving the oil city should not be afraid of the trouble; they can first go to the bank to freeze the points in their points card.

2. When leaving the oil city, you can pass on your points number to relatives or family members who remain there.

"In addition, in a few days, we will be updating and upgrading the points number cards in everyone's hands, and upgrading the points number card system."

At that time, the points card will be upgraded to require a PIN for transactions, thus improving the security of the points card.

Buffer city.

107 dormitory buildings.

Room 405.

The seven people in the room all turned their gazes to the man sitting on the innermost bed near the window.

There were two people on that bed, and both of them looked extremely pale.

A burly man sitting on the lower bunk opposite them squinted at the two men and said:

"Old Sun, you said your friend is coming over to visit, what's your friend's name?"

Old Sun's lips twitched; he had also heard what was being broadcast.

If you are found to have helped criminals hide, that is the same crime.

I rely on!

Now I've been tricked by that bastard Zhao Deming. No wonder that bastard suddenly came all the way from Building 35 to come and play with me today.

He still thought Zhao Deming was just visiting.

Unexpectedly, they wanted to run to his side to escape the patrol team's pursuit.

Zhao Deming sensed that the people in the room were looking at him with ill intent.

After all, anyone would be suspicious if a stranger came running up to them at this time.

If this stranger happens to be a wanted criminal, then everyone in the dorm will be in trouble.

Swish!
Zhao Deming quickly got up, but Lao Sun grabbed his arm.

"He is Zhao Deming, he is a criminal!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man sitting opposite him rushed over and kicked Zhao Deming to the ground.

A fist the size of a sandbag, pounding away relentlessly.

The other roommates also came forward and started kicking him.

Even Old Sun got up and joined in.

“I almost got killed by this bastard, Lao Dai. I had no idea he was a criminal. I only found out from the radio.”

The burly old man, Lao Dai, didn't argue with him. Looking at Zhao Deming, who was lying on the ground barely alive, he said to Lao Sun and the other young man:

"Old Sun, Little Liu, you two hurry up and ring the alarm bell to get the patrol team here. When they arrive, explain things to them properly."

"Hurry up! If the patrol team comes looking for us beforehand, we won't be able to explain ourselves. If we report it now, it'll be fine!"

Old Sun and the young man felt that it made a lot of sense.

Without saying a word, the two rushed out the door and ran towards the alarm bell downstairs.

The burly man, Lao Dai, looked at Zhao Deming, whose mouth and nose were bleeding, and spat out a mouthful of phlegm viciously.

"You bastards, you wouldn't do a proper scavenging job, you had to rob and kill people instead, you son of a bitch."
