Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 286 A desperate move

The torrential rain continued.

Fishmen emerged from the sea.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, the fish-men gradually climbed ashore.

They followed behind.

Then, under Qin Ziwu's command, the group of fishmen split into two groups and surrounded the two sides of the Red Cauldron Building.

Perhaps they were not quite used to the environment on land. Even though it was pouring rain, the group of fishmen stopped and kept digging holes in the ground.

They dug one small pit after another.

Rainwater accumulates, forming mud pits, and then the fish lie down, settling into the pits and closing their eyes contentedly.

“Their discipline is lacking.” Qin Ziwu silently observed the fishmen’s performance. “But they are quite strong.”

Meanwhile, as the torrential rain continued, the environment inside the Hongding Building became increasingly oppressive.

The cold rain poured into the building along with the chilly wind.

Some rooms were smashed to pieces and were uninhabitable even after being covered with newspapers and wooden boards. Many people moved their furniture and moved to the next room to live with other people.

In a tense atmosphere, sometimes even the smallest thing can ignite a powder keg.

For the higher-ups in the Bloodletter, there is still food left over.

However, for ordinary members, food is becoming increasingly scarce, and some have even run out of food and have to find ways to obtain it.

No one was willing to sell food, and food prices inside the building kept rising.

There's even a trend towards reaching the level of the first map, where food was scarce and the conditions were at their most brutal.

This brought back unpleasant memories for many people.

Mutual vigilance, wariness, and even long-suppressed hatred erupted at this moment.

“This can’t go on. Do you want another dark age to erupt in this building?” Mei Yuqing stepped forward. As a beneficiary of the building’s internal rules, she was definitely one of the few who didn’t want the building’s internal rules to collapse.

“I think Sister Mei is right,” Li Zecheng agreed.

The other floor owners also nodded in agreement.

"Should we launch a direct assault? You've all seen their weapons firsthand. If those men rush out, their morale will collapse after losing 20-30%. If we force an attack, it will be very difficult for us to win."

Li Zecheng said, "It might be difficult in a head-on battle, but this torrential rain is our opportunity! If you keep waiting, how long are you going to wait until the people down below are starving and then pounce on us and tear us to pieces?"

“Although the rain is heavy, the other side will definitely be on guard,” the third floor master said. “My men have noticed that the other side is frequently moving around the area, and there may be an ambush outside the building.”

"With such heavy rain, do you think they're all made of iron? How could there be an ambush? At most, there are just a few people taking turns watching us."

The second floor owner said with some regret, "After the rain, the people across the street took advantage of the rain to move all the corpses downstairs, otherwise it wouldn't have been so difficult."

Li Zecheng said, "When we go out later, we must make sure to give proper instructions. If a teammate dies, we must bring them home. We're all in the same guild; how can we just watch our teammates die in the wilderness?"

"That's right, we can't just watch our teammates die in the wilderness."

"They are all our own people."

In the midst of their conversation, this group decided the fate of the two thousand people below.

The crowd exchanged knowing glances, but no words were spoken.

If they were ambushed after going out, only the people below would die, since they wouldn't go out anyway, which would actually relieve internal pressure.

If they can achieve a great victory after going out, boosting morale and relieving internal pressure, it will also help to restore some of the momentum.

But if we don't go out, this barrel of explosives will remain inside the building.

They are the ones who are threatened.

It is not difficult to distinguish which is more important.

“But for this operation, I think we need a tough expert to lead the way, and at least someone with a good reputation in our Bloodline,” Li Zecheng suddenly said.

As soon as he spoke, he immediately received responses from several other forum members nearby.

Mei Yuqing frowned almost imperceptibly, giving Li Zecheng a warning look. This wasn't something they had agreed upon beforehand.

Li Zecheng didn't even look at Mei Yuqing. "The people below aren't stupid. If we really send them to their deaths, they'll be the first to cause an uproar. So, we need a highly respected and powerful expert to lead the way so they can trust us."

"I think it would be more suitable for Su Xiao to go." "I agree."

Mei Yuqing immediately realized that they wanted to get Su Xiao away from her.

“No way.” Mei Yuqing immediately rejected the idea.

But what greeted her were the indifferent, amused, and meaningful gazes of the other floor owners.

Mei Yuqing said without hesitation, "Then this operation is canceled."

"Sister Mei, you have to think about the bigger picture. The entire Blood Letter team has thousands of people, and everyone knows that Su Xiao is the best fighter. If he can go, the people below will definitely believe that this operation is real."

Su Xiao pressed Mei Yuqing's shoulder to stop her from saying anything more. He looked around and said loudly, "I can go, but apart from me, each of you must send your best fighter from your floor to work with me and form a sharp blade team."

After saying that, he took out a short knife from his waist, flicked it in a flourish, and threw it on the table.

"boom!"

The blade penetrates three inches into the wood.

"Who is for it and who is against it."

After everyone else left, Mei Yuqing remained seated in her chair.

Su Xiao said, "This is our last chance. We are already short of food and morale is low. Every day that passes, our chances of winning will be even smaller. Let's take advantage of this downpour and go all in."

Behind the Hongding Building, taking advantage of the torrential rain.

Ropes were lowered down, and figures slowly slid down from the second floor, gripping the ropes.

The sky darkened, and a sudden downpour began.

Visibility was less than 30 meters.

As they walked out of the building and looked back, all they could see was a blurry, tall silhouette.

The rain obscured the view.

“The urban village is on the back. We’ll circle around and attack them from the side.”

Su Xiao turned around and said, "If we win, we'll have everything. From now on, in the Blood Letter, we'll not only become high-ranking members, but we'll also have women, food, and everything else!"

"Understood, Brother Xiao."

"If we go straight in, they'll be on guard. We'll circle around from the back. This time, I'll lead the charge, and you all follow me!"

"Yes." "Okay." "I'll listen to Brother Xiao."

Morale at the venue has improved slightly.

Su Xiao remained calm. He knew that if it weren't for him and the capable thugs from each floor working together this time, morale would have been even lower.

Su Xiao led the team around to the back of the mountain.

After walking for a while, he heard a noise ahead, and subconsciously stopped and made a gesture.

Faintly, he heard what sounded like some kind of animal's cry coming from the rain ahead, "Awooo awooo awooo."

animal?

Su Xiao frowned, his eyes narrowed, he took out his twin swords, bent over, and slowly moved forward in the rain.

Just as we passed a reverse slope, the sound ahead abruptly stopped.

A dangerous atmosphere permeated the air.

"Crash-"

A muddy puddle with accumulated water directly in front of them suddenly churned up.

The mud and water parted to both sides, and a huge, bloated outline slowly rose from the bottom of the pit.

A tall, fat murloc fishman slowly stood up from inside.

Mud slid off its body in patches, and rainwater washed away the dark, shiny surface.

It stood higher and higher, casting a shadow like a curtain that swallowed Su Xiao from head to toe.

　There are more updates coming up; hopefully this part of the story will end today.
