Chapter 1994: Chapter 2095: The Drawbacks of Relying on the Alliance

Xiang Yu reached out to stop Long Wu, deciding to take action himself this time.

Long Wu also saw Xiang Yu’s determination. She knew that saying anything was useless, and finally sighed and said, "Be careful with everything. If anything happens to you, I will definitely follow you." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Long Wu..."

Xiang Yu wanted to persuade her, but Long Wu turned and walked away.

The opposing team stayed in Sun City without rushing to attack Lieyun City. They were looting in Sun City, and some even fought over it.

Because they weren’t one unified organization, several groups even drew guns over territory disputes.

Sun City was in chaos now, with everyone occupying their own territories and refusing to give ground.

Xiang Yu anticipated this, so he instructed Long Wu to gather all the valuable items.

At midnight, Xiang Yu set out with the guards and the two people Xi’er found.

Many troops were stationed in Sun City, so their defenses weren’t very tight.

Moreover, Xiang Yu was so familiar with Sun City that he easily found the gaps.

Xiang Yu ordered the box opened, and then the contents—gold and silver—were scattered carelessly on the street.

"Sir, isn’t it a waste to just throw these things away?"

Xiang Yu sneered, "Today, the things we’ve lost will be returned with interest someday."

Hearing Xiang Yu say this, everyone else felt much relieved and then threw the entire box of goods onto the street.

It was already two in the morning. It was unknown whether the opponents were careless or simply underestimated Xiang Yu’s group, as there were no defenses there, and everyone was sound asleep.

Xiang Yu scattered the goods from one box, then hid the other two boxes slightly, without concealing them too carefully; anyone who came by could see them.

After making these preparations, Xiang Yu fired a shot, then led the guard team westward in the city.

The gunshot pierced the still night air sharply, followed immediately by two shots from the opposition, likely to alert everyone to wake up.

At this time, most people were still in their dreams, but upon hearing the gunshots, they quickly got up and began assembling their troops.

After all, it was wartime, and the troops quickly gathered, but they felt as if there were many pebbles underfoot making it uneven.

"What was that gunshot about?" a commander shouted.

Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads, clearly having no idea what was happening.

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, "Captain, look, a lot of people over there are picking something up?"

The captain frowned, bent down, picked up an item, looked at it, and his eyes shone with excitement.

"Gold." The captain shouted.

Everyone was a little confused, not knowing what he meant.

"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and pick up the gold." The captain shouted again, and bent over to start picking it up first.

The soldiers snapped out of it and began picking things up.

Now no one cared about the gunshots anymore. They had just one thought in their minds: treasures of gold and silver falling from the sky.

They picked with enthusiasm, all were laughing; this was a scene straight out of a dream, gold and silver everywhere.

"Hey, team three, don’t cross the line, this is our territory," a captain shouted.

"What do you mean ’yours’ or ’ours,’ we’re all part of COM, the land is shared," another captain ignored the warning and let his men scramble to grab things.

"Even if it’s one organization, you still have to get out." Seeing others encroach on his territory to snatch things, he became a bit anxious.

"So what if not? Are you going to kill me?"

"Are you going to leave?"

At this moment, that captain pulled out a gun. Although they belonged to the same organization, they rarely met. Everyone trained separately, and no one knew each other.

"You dare pull a gun? You think I’m afraid of you?"

Neither squad backed down. In front of profit, even blood brothers couldn’t stand together.

The two groups stared each other down, but some people continued to bend over, unable to resist the allure of the gold and silver.

This incident quickly spread throughout Sun City. When other organizations heard about the sudden fall of gold here, they all gathered, fearing they’d miss the opportunity.

So more and more people gathered, and seeing the items underfoot, they couldn’t resist and began grabbing too.

When COM’s two large teams saw other organizations arriving, they united again to fend off outsiders.

"This is COM’s territory. Trespassers will be killed without mercy."

Hearing this, the surrounding people retreated, knowing COM was not to be trifled with.

But seeing the ground full of gold and silver made them restless.

"What do you mean COM? The slum was clearly taken by all of us together, good things should be shared."

"That’s right, this place was taken by everyone. Why do COM members get to decide?"

The scene grew lively, and more and more people arrived. Everyone was armed, and some impulsively clicked off their safeties.

COM members also arrived, having heard of the sudden appearance of gold and silver, now they surrounded the area, staying alert.

"No wonder the slum developed so fast, it turns out, it’s a treasure ground. If gold and silver fall every day, wouldn’t we be rich?" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Indeed, the slum’s rapid development must be related to this place. We can’t let COM take it all."

"Since everyone participated in the war, these things must be evenly shared."

More and more voices called out, although COM was a major organization, they didn’t want to oppose many people.

COM’s temporary commander stepped up and shouted, "How about this, everyone go back first, after we finish clearing the place, I will specially send someone to deliver the goods to your leader."

His words further stirred the crowd’s anger. Now gold and silver were all over the place, they hoped to pocket a little fortune, but if these were sent to their leaders, how could they get their share?

"Stop talking nonsense, either let down the guard and let us in to pick, or we’ll start robbing directly."

"That’s right, if you don’t step aside, we’ll just rob you."

The scene was chaotic. These people lived on the edge of a knife for the sake of gold and silver.

With these things right beneath their feet, they couldn’t resist the temptation.

Seeing that this approach didn’t work, COM members had to resort to force.

"Anyone who steps an inch further today, I’ll wipe out their organization. Don’t let your hot-headedness cost you your life."

Although the surroundings were chaotic, no one dared to step out first, as COM’s power was evident.

Seeing things calm down a bit, COM members scoffed coldly before starting to pick up items.

Just then, someone excitedly ran to the temporary command of COM and shouted, "Sir, I found two boxes of treasure in a room, they’re much more than what’s on the ground...."
