Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 280 Evil Spirits of the Human World (Third Update)
"Five hundred meters? Boss, do we have to burn that far? How about we just burn a hundred meters?" A henchman hesitated.

Yang Long frowned, turned his head, and stared at the man. "You're questioning me."

"No, no, Brother Long, I just felt..."

"Snapped!"

Yang Long withdrew his right hand. "Still dare to talk back!"

The younger brother covered his face, not daring to look up.

Yang Long said sternly, "I'm doing this for everyone's future! You all know what kind of people are in that building! At this point, are you still clinging to wishful thinking? Being merciful to them is being cruel to yourselves. Now, take action!"

"Yes, Brother Long!"

After his underlings left, Yang Long still looked up at the rooftop.

Through the windows and those large, broken holes, he saw faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar.

Yang Long's eyes were dark; once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

I feel so insecure living on an island with you all.

So, you should all just die.

“No matter what they want to do, we can’t let them succeed. Besides, if the surrounding forest is really cleared, the area will be flat and open, and there will be nowhere to hide.” Mei Yuqing said decisively.

"Su Xiao, come with me to find those floor owners downstairs."

"Sister Mei, you're right. They definitely have a conspiracy. Maybe they want to burn down the forest to make it easier to transport some weapons in."

"What? We need to send more people? Sister Mei, you're putting me in a difficult position. The people from the second, third, and fourth floors came up just now and asked us for a large number of people. We really don't have any people left now."

"Why don't you go downstairs and ask again?"

"Ask, ask, ask your big head. I just came down from the 32nd floor and everyone said there was no one there. Li Zecheng, I helped you get to this position back then."

“Sister Mei, let’s keep things separate. I acknowledge your favor, but there really isn’t anyone available.” Li Zecheng said halfway through his sentence, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, subtly scrutinizing her before leaning forward and whispering, “Sister Mei, I just got two bottles of red wine yesterday. Would you like to come to my room for a tasting?”

Mei Yuqing sneered, "You dare to mess with my sister-in-law? Messing with my sister-in-law will get you stabbed three times and stabbed six times."

"Tsk, Sister Mei, that's such a distant thing to say. What's with all this talk of three cuts and six holes? I only want the one on your body."

Su Xiao's eyes widened in anger. He took a step forward and placed his right hand behind his waist.

Li Zecheng instantly regained his senses and quickly took two steps back. Two of his underlings followed behind him and stood guard beside him.

"Ahem, Sister Mei, there's really no one here. Why don't you go downstairs and ask? Or I can give you the ten people I sent downstairs, and you can pick them up from the ground floor." Li Zecheng hurriedly waved his hand, as if avoiding a bad omen, and turned to hide in his own home.

Watching Li Zecheng's retreating figure, Mei Yuqing spat.

"That perverted freak."

Li Zecheng may look respectable, but secretly his favorite food is pan-fried noodle soup, and he's into both men and women.

On the surface, he likes to wear suits and glasses, putting on a refined but monstrous facade.

Of course, the others weren't much better off.

The owner of the 23rd floor downstairs, Xie Tingyun, is a lecherous fiend. She has a long history of having affairs with men, keeping pregnant women as lovers, and engaging in all sorts of sexual acts.

The 22nd floor master, Wuwei, is quite famous, known for being bisexual and attracted to both men and women.

Dealing with this group of evil spirits, she couldn't afford to be careless.

This time when she went downstairs, she brought more than a dozen bodyguards with her, and Su Xiao was there to protect her closely.

But the results were not ideal. The floor leaders passed the buck to each other, and in the end, she only managed to get seven people to the third floor.

The first floor of Hongding Building is the lobby, which is uninhabited. The formal residential area begins from the second floor.

Therefore, the second, third, and fourth floors are the three floors closest to the bottom.

Because they are close to the first floor and easy to move, many residential buildings such as blacksmith shops and carpentry workshops are located on the three lower floors. The defensive strength and overall strength of these three floors have always been the strongest in the Bloodletter, except for the top floor.

Upon hearing Mei Yuqing's request, the three lower-level masters all refused.

“Sister Mei, it’s not that we’re unwilling, but sending people out now would just be a waste of manpower. Sending too few wouldn’t be of any use, and sending too many would make us vulnerable to ambushes. We have the advantage of our location in this building, so there’s no need for us to go out.” “Yes, if the floor owners upstairs are willing to send people, we support them. We need to hold the ground floor. What if the enemy manages to rush up?”

Looking at the three righteous and eloquent people in front of him.

Mei Yuqing was somewhat disappointed. When Liu Ze was still around, these three were considered his staunch supporters and had a close relationship with her, always addressing her as "Sister Mei."

She only needed to say what she wanted, and these three men would do everything they could to get it for her.

It hasn't been long, and people are already out of touch. Liu Ze's body probably isn't even cold yet.

She asked, "If they set this fire, it will be difficult for us to get food. What if they implement a scorched-earth policy and try to starve us to death?"

The third floor master suddenly chuckled, his teeth gleaming in the dimly lit hallway. "Sister Mei, you won't starve. Brother Ze has always taken good care of us; we won't let you go hungry."

Mei Yuqing's face was gloomy.

"Sister Mei, you came up with the name 'Crispy Golden Claw,' isn't it? It describes the hand of an eighteen-year-old girl, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside after roasting, with golden-red fat. You're the most talented when it comes to naming things," the fourth floor master said in a sinister tone.

"Enough!" Mei Yuqing took a deep breath, her high chest heaving violently.

With a cold expression, she turned and walked back.

There are some things she doesn't want to remember, but these people keep reminding her, bringing her back to that cold, snowy night.

She was a woman, and in order to survive, to fit in with this group of evil people, and to climb higher so that she wouldn't be bullied by others.

She was ruthless and unscrupulous, more wicked than a villain, more despicable than a whore, and more insane than a madman.

They invested in him in his early days, before Liu Ze had made his fortune.

She struggled through those dark days and eventually became the leader of the Scarlet Letter gang.

She came to this position so that she could put on the clothes of a human being and live as a person.

"Sister Mei, now you're complaining about us eating meat? You were the one who chopped off that girl's hand and roasted it in front of everyone. You seemed to enjoy it quite a bit back then."

"I heard she's her best friend."

The voices of the second and fourth floor masters drifted from behind.

"Sir, what do you need?" Su Xiao asked in a low voice.

Mei Yuqing shook her head slightly. Now was not the time to take action; they still needed to rely on them to act as a protective barrier on the lower levels.

As she turned the corner of the stairs, she slowed her pace, reached her right hand into her chest, and grabbed a necklace.

A yellowish finger bone was strung on it.

Upon seeing the finger bone, Mei Yuqing felt a mix of emotions, but she did not regret it.

He picked up his finger bone and gently touched it to his lips.

Then, a series of low, ambiguous laughs escaped his throat, "Hehehe."

Outside the building, flames filled the air.

A large number of trees were burned.

Although the flames are difficult to spread, they will gradually extinguish themselves after burning down the vegetation in a nearby area.

However, the area that was ignited was large enough.

Flames flickered in the forest, and thick black smoke drifted over the island.

Qin Ziwen put down the binoculars and handed them to Qin Ziwu, who was standing next to him.

"Interesting. Even now, the people inside the building still won't come out. Are they Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"

"President, I think they're probably terrified by our ballistae and are only hiding inside the building, trying to defend themselves by taking advantage of the terrain."

"No rush." ​​Qin Ziwen said calmly, "I've already sent the harpy back to deliver a message, instructing Li Yue and the others to build catapults. Once the catapults are finished, we'll give the other side a surprise."
