Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 148 - : Facing the Criminal Gang

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Facing the Criminal Gang

“What do you mean?” Sun Jingtao and Zhao Pengfei were both stunned.

Before Jiang Yan could answer, Ye Qing turned around, “They left, driving very fast. All the windows of that painted boat were tightly closed, and the waterline was very deep, it must have been carrying heavy supplies.”

“You said they had guns? Did you see what kinds of guns?” Sun Jingtao’s expression was extremely grave.

Ye Qing responded without hesitation, “If I saw correctly, they were all submachine guns.”

Jiang Yan: “…”

Sun Jingtao: “…”

...

If these people were the bandits they were looking for.

Then, these opponents’ strength was much greater than they had imagined.

This was no good news.

“Ah?!” Zhao Pengfei found it hard to believe, “They carry guns so brazenly, aren’t they afraid of encountering official personnel?”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan and Sun Jingtao gave each other a look, neither affirming nor denying his words.

Had they really feared the officials, those hundreds of bodies on the 22nd floor wouldn’t exist.

Sun Jingtao suddenly remembered that Jiang Yan’s words had been cut off earlier and quickly asked:

“By the way, Jiang Yan, what did you mean when you said you knew where Ma Longbiao’s lair is?”

“Not just Ma Longbiao’s lair, but possibly also the main base of Golden Shield Security, right in that 101 Sky Hotel.”

Thinking hard, Sun Jingtao said, “That hotel’s name, I think my wife mentioned it before. It’s reportedly not low-ranked, but how can you be so sure?”

Ye Qing and Zhao Pengfei were puzzled.

“101 Sky Hotel is located in the Plum Shade Tree Mansion on Anming Middle Road, one of the neighborhoods we are heading to.

That neighborhood has five residential buildings, one of which is a 33-story high-rise luxury apartment standing 101 meters tall. The hotel lobby is located at the very top, the 30th floor, with direct stair access from the ground floor.

Because you can overlook the whole city from the lobby, as if you are in the air, that’s why the hotel is named ‘Sky Hotel.'”

Jiang Yan knew so much about the hotel because a world-famous luxury brand once planned to open a boutique next to the hotel lobby.

She even received an invitation for the opening reception in her past life.

Zhao Pengfei: “Isn’t it 33 floors? Why is the top floor the 30th?”

Jiang Yan: “Because the two floors above the lobby are suspended steel-framed staircases. Above that is a helipad, reportedly able to accommodate two small helicopters.”

“I see, high enough floors plus a helipad, and the hotel usually has generators and backup power. The setup with kitchens, accommodations, and surveillance is complete, truly not easy to find such a place.

If that’s the case, then it’s indeed not just Ma Longbiao’s lair. We might be facing a criminal gang capable of predicting disasters and profiting massively from the apocalypse!” After Sun Jingtao finished, his brow furrowed even deeper.

If he hadn’t heard about Flame Base and Young Master Xue, he wouldn’t have thought so far.

But the recent incidents, each more baffling than the last, had forced him, a habitual materialist, to think wildly.

Zhao Pengfei paused, he hadn’t heard about Xue Miaomiao, so he didn’t quite understand the few words about predicting the future mentioned by Sun Jingtao.

However, that was not the point, he hesitated to ask further and instead said worriedly, “What should we do now?”

If his son was controlled by a criminal gang, wouldn’t they be heading to their deaths now?

But even if it was to face death, he had made up his mind!

Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing were somewhat silent.

Just a few escorts of supplies were equipped with submachine guns.

Imagine the security level and armament at their lair.

With their meager weapons, hardly enough to even fill gaps between the enemy’s teeth.

It seemed they had to outsmart them.

“We’ve come this far, I’ve decided we first scout it out,” Jiang Yan said calmly as she stood up.

What did it matter if the adversary had submachine guns when she had an armory stored in her “Space.”

If it really came down to it, she would just lob a couple of grenades their way.

If these foes were truly connected to Flame Base, at worst, she would wipe them out, grab the gold, and quickly make her escape.

“That’s true, let’s scout it out first.” Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing also quickly made up their minds.

Zhao Pengfei slapped his thigh, “Right, let’s scout it out! At most, my head gets chopped off, leaving only a scar as big as a bowl!”

The remaining three chuckled at his words, and the previous heaviness lifted somewhat.

“So are we going directly to Plum Shade Tree Mansion?”

“Yes.”

The group promptly put the rubber boat back in the water, donned their equipment and jumped aboard.

Although it was unlikely they would encounter another fleet like before, they still made a point of detouring around.

About half an hour later, the billboard on top of Plum Shade Tree Mansion came into their view.

This property had six buildings, shaped like an airplane spreading its wings.

The airplane’s nose was the apartment with the helipad.

The remaining five “wings” were residential buildings, somewhat shorter in height.

But the spacing between the buildings was not wide.

“Let’s circle around and head to the residential building farthest from and directly facing the hotel.” Jiang Yan instructed.

Being a person who monitored others, she was equally concerned about the possibility of them having surveillance around the building’s exterior.

“Okay,” Sun Jingtao agreed.

They quickly reached the other residential building.

Perhaps due to the lower-level shops, the water there barely reached the 20th floor.

The corridor was narrow, so they chose a household’s living room and used the Fire Axe to break in.

To be on the safe side, the rubber boat was stashed away in a well-hidden spot.

They pried open another apartment and slowly moved inside along the wall.

Ye Qing took out the telescope for a closer look and exclaimed, “Jiang Yan, you’re amazing!”

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, “Why?”

“The apartment over there has two painted boats moored outside, they look like they are transporting supplies. The rain is too heavy to see clearly what’s being moved, but I didn’t see any submachine boats.”

“Those two submachine boats are probably responsible for the back-and-forth escort,” Jiang Yan analyzed.

Xiao Ye, let me see.” Sun Jingtao said, taking the telescope from Ye Qing, swapped positions with him to take a look, then passed it to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan glanced and saw nothing unusual, then handed it to Zhao Pengfei.

“What do we do now?”

At this moment, everyone was both excited and apprehensive.

“We’ll just have to wait and act tonight,” Jiang Yan said, her gaze fixed outside, her thoughts never ceasing.

Sun Jingtao nodded, “Yes, it’s too dangerous to act during the day.”

Hearing this, Zhao Pengfei silently sighed.

“I need to step aside for a moment,” Jiang Yan then said, her hand on her stomach.

The three men assumed she had to take care of personal matters and did not dare to inquire further.
