Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: A Gun Enthusiast from a Young Age

Sun Jingtao pondered for a second, then said, “Let’s just distribute them; they were taken back from them anyway.” After speaking, he looked at Jiang Yan, “Jiang Yan, what do you think?”

“Yeah, Jiang Yan, what do you think?” It was then that Tian Jiliang realized he had answered too hastily.

He truly was the organizer for the remaining property owners, but the distribution of supplies and weapons really shouldn’t be decided by him alone.

The man known as Old Liu was stunned for a moment, his gaze turning to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan glanced at the others and said, “I suggest keeping the weapons with you for now, and not distributing them yet.”

Everyone looked puzzled, “?”

Jiang Yan turned to Tian Jiliang, “If I understood correctly, the owners from the 31st and 32nd floors should all have their families intact, right? The ones below, most have their children or wives taken as hostages, right?”

“Yes,” Tian Jiliang nodded.

“That’s right then; people upstairs will fight the criminals with everything they’ve got to protect their families. But the people from downstairs, with their family members in the hands of the criminals, their actions could very well be compromised, and it’s not impossible they might turn against us.”

After finishing, she added another line, “Don’t forget how you got the wounds on your hands and feet.”

“Ah, those two owners from building C who attacked me were controlled by Ma Longbiao’s gang, and the knives were also given to them by Ma Longbiao.” Tian Jiliang’s face was somewhat embarrassed, but he didn’t avoid the topic.

“So, if Ma Longbiao’s gang comes back, I don’t expect the downstairs owners to be of much help, but at the critical moment, I hope they won’t drag us down,” Jiang Yan stated bluntly.

“Yes, I think Jiang Yan is right!” Ye Qing agreed.

Sun Jingtao also quickly came to a realization.

Old Liu and Tian Jiliang looked at each other, a surge of relief flowing between them: “Okay, then I’ll go down now and have them collect the weapons.”

He then asked, “Also, it’s getting dark soon. We can’t slack off on the defense downstairs. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu can’t see much in the corridor, so should I take them down first?”

He didn’t really need to ask for permission in such a tone.

After all, everyone had been neighbors who saw each other daily.

Although they had heard about the events on the 32nd floor before, it was only today that they witnessed Jiang Yan and the others taking out Dao Yinping and his gang, which spontaneously inspired awe in them.

While speaking, he also unconsciously became much more polite.

“Sure,” Sun Jingtao didn’t have much to correct him on and just nodded.

Tian Jiliang felt slightly awkward, “Old Liu, please take me down as well. I’ve been bothering you all day. Old Zhao, you should go down too.”

He wasn’t much help here; he might as well go downstairs and boost the morale of the owners upstairs.

Clearly, Sun Jingtao, Ye Qing, and Jiang Yan had matters to discuss.

He wasn’t blind to the obvious.

That Old Zhao, who had always stood quietly at the side, was an “undercover.”

His full name was Zhao Pengfei. He used to be a martial arts instructor for children.

Whether he could fight, no one knew, but he was far stronger than the average owner.

Old Liu nodded, “That works.”

Upon hearing Tian Jiliang’s words, Zhao Pengfei’s mind finally caught up, a trace of embarrassment flitting across his face.

He should have gone down earlier.

He hadn’t expected Dao Yinping’s words to be so shocking that he had forgotten to leave.

“Jiang Yan, Xiao Sun, Xiao Ye, just prepare upstairs at ease. There are dozens of owners downstairs, your strong backing. Whatever help you need, just ask,” Tian Jiliang said as he stood up with one hand on the couch.

Old Liu quickly stepped forward and supported him.

In Tian Jiliang’s view, Ma Longbiao’s gang was indeed brutal.

But now, it seemed, Jiang Yan was likely aligning with them.

With her around, many things would be much easier.

“I can also help lead the charge; I used to be a martial arts instructor, so I have some skills,” Zhao Pengfei said, looking at Jiang Yan.

He could clearly see that Sun Jingtao and the others highly valued her opinions.

Although he didn’t know why.

Among them all, Jiang Yan was clearly the youngest.

“Sure,” Jiang Yan nodded, not rejecting him.

Hearing her words, Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing instinctively exchanged glances, their confidence in resisting the enemy briefly bolstered.

Old Liu stepped forward, bowed, and picked up Tian Jiliang.

The door closed, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Their gazes once again unanimously returned to Dao Yinping.

But they saw him grinning, and he said ominously, “I’ve heard so much; you don’t think I don’t know that only dead men can keep a secret?”

“Speak human!” Ye Qing kicked his buttocks.

Excruciating pain burst forth from the center, causing Dao Yinping to grimace, “Just kill me quickly!”

Jiang Yan smiled slightly, “Tell us clearly about Ma Longbiao’s gang and Golden Shield Security Corporation’s personnel situation, structure, main person in charge, and areas of supervision, then you can die. I want insider information, not the stuff on the website.”

“I’m just a low-level employee…” Dao Yinping looked troubled, but he still disclosed everything he knew.

After listening, Jiang Yan turned her eyes towards Ye Qing, “Tie him up, gag him, and throw him in the corner.”

“When Ma Longbiao contacts you through the walkie-talkie when he returns nearby, you’d better think carefully about what to say. If you dare to miss a word, I’ll make your life worse than death!” Jiang Yan stood up and patted his shoulder.

“…” Dao Yinping crumbled like a mountain collapsing, “No, sister, how can you go back on your word?!”

Jiang Yan chuckled coldly, “What integrity can there be with a piece of scum like you!”

Ye Qing stood up, tied the opponent’s hands and feet, and threw him into the other corner of the living room.

There was a low cabinet there for cover, and with the rain sound, he couldn’t hear or see, which was less bothersome.

But just to be safe, Ye Qing also dragged a solid wood dining chair over and tied him to the back of the chair for a second time.

This way, if he moved at all, everyone would be able to see and hear.

Dao Yinping deeply regretted his situation.

Crashing into a wall was out of the question, but he lacked the courage to bite off his own tongue.

Ye Qing looked at Jiang Yan and Sun Jingtao, “Jiang Yan, Brother Tao, what’s your plan now? Strike first or wait and see?”

Sun Jingtao furrowed his brow, “Let me think.”

Jiang Yan glanced at Ye Qing, “The way you snatched the gun and took down Dao Yinping earlier was well-executed; it seems you also know a lot about that shotgun; have you studied it?”

“Yes, I’ve been fascinated by firearms since childhood, climbed walls to watch many tutorial videos, and studied shooting as a hobby for a while. This semester’s military training, I also really touched a few real guns.

As for the moves to subdue Dao Yinping, I’ve been learning the Capturing Fist with Brother Tao during this time.”

Ye Qing had no idea why Jiang Yan suddenly asked this but answered truthfully nonetheless.
