Chapter 49: Heavy Casualties

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Everyone’s heart turned cold.

They were already starving when they were smashing the door at a temperature of -60 to -70 degrees Celsius. After a short while, some of them even started to see stars.

They had no choice but to find other people to take turns.

Then, someone who used to work as a bank manager poked the door with a wooden stick. After staring at it for a long time, he shouted with a trembling voice. “This… This is the anti-theft door used for bank vaults!”

When people heard this, they were devastated.

At this moment, they finally understood why they had spent so much effort but failed to break open such a small security door. After all, this kind of door might not even be blown up by a bomb.

At this time, Ye Xingchen had already dressed up and set up the crossbow upstairs, starting to take aim.

He opened the two-way voice transmission and said slowly, “Are you done? Is it my turn?”

Looking at the dark mass outside, he simply couldn’t be bothered to aim. Anyway, there were so many people, and he would definitely hit them even if he shot casually.

Without waiting for the people outside to react, he had already shot out several rusty iron arrows. With a few whooshing sounds, people in the crowd fell one after another.

“Everyone, spread out! He has a weapon!”

The people below were so scared that they shouted and ran out, but they were stopped by Zhang Yi’s subordinates.

“Get out of the way! Move aside!”

For a moment, the outside was in chaos. Some people fell down and were trampled on by others. Some people were even injured because they had a conflict with Zhang Yi’s subordinates.

“Why are you running? He was just one person. Even if he had weapons, how many could he have?”

“I’ll shoot whoever dares to run first! Attack!”

Zhang Yi took out a gun from his pocket and narrowed his eyes to look at the place where the iron arrow came from.

Ye Xingchen also noticed Zhang Yi. When he saw Zhang Yi raising his pistol and aiming at him, Ye Xingchen reacted quickly and put away the crossbow. With a bang, he locked the firing hole.

Of course, even if this place was installed with bulletproof glass, who knew if Zhang Yi’s marksmanship would be able to aim at him? Ye Xingchen would not gamble with his own safety.

He held the crossbow in his hand and locked the door of the small cubicle without hesitation. He returned to his room and began to undress.

The chaos outside stopped after the people saw that Ye Xingchen could no longer attack them. Everyone was relieved.

The area was a mess, and many people had arrow wounds of varying depths.

A few people who were hit in the vitals died on the spot.

Just as the people below gritted their teeth and pulled out the arrowheads, they saw that they were covered in rust. The insults rang out again.

No one was stupid. They all knew what would happen if they were injured by a rusty arrow.

Amidst the curses, Ye Xingchen opened the fridge and took out a bottle of iced fruit juice.

“All! Awesome!”

Curses kept coming from outside, and someone started to get anxious. “What should we do? We can’t attack at all. So many brothers have already died.”

At this moment, Ma Chaowen, who had been watching coldly from the side, limped over and shouted. “Everyone, don’t be anxious! 1 have a way!”

Everyone looked over.

Ma Chaowen raised his hand and pointed at the wall of Ye Xingchen’s house as he said sinisterly, “If his door isn’t easy to open, then isn’t there another way?” “We can’t break the metal, but can’t we break the cement?”

“It’s fine if we can’t break open his door. At most, we’ll tear down his entire house!”

When everyone heard this, they nodded in surprise. Why didn’t they think of that?

“That’s right! We can smash the wall!”

“Haha! There’s always a way in!”

“Quick, quick! Bring me the hammer!”

Ye Xingchen, who was sitting on the sofa in the room, raised his eyebrows as he watched the surveillance footage. He thought to himself that Ma Chaowen was indeed an old fox in the financial industry. His brain was really not bad.

It was just a pity. If they could think of something, how could Ye Xingchen not think of it as well?

The group of people outside changed their formation again. Each of them held a hammer or an axe and swung it at the wall of Ye Xingchen’s room.

Cracks began to appear on the wail. White-gray ash fluttered in the snow, and large pieces of objects fell off the wall.

Seeing this, everyone’s movements became much more agile. Their faces were filled with excitement, feeling that they were about to take down Ye Xingchen’s villa.

They smashed harder.

But suddenly, there was a loud noise, followed by a scream. One of the burly men who had rushed to the front of the group to smash the wall fell to the ground and rolled around.

“It hurts! It hurt! My hand!”

Everyone took a few steps back and looked at his body. They saw that his gloves were bleeding. His yellow gloves were now stained with a thick layer of dark red blood. In less than ten seconds, his gloves were frozen hard and looked especially terrifying.

“This… What’s going on…”

Someone went over to sweep away the dust on the spot where he knocked just now. When he saw it, his jaw almost fell off.

“This… The interior of the wall was actually made of the same material as the door?!”

Everyone was shocked and wanted to come over to take a look.

As expected, there was a metallic luster behind the layers of bricks and tiles. It was the same material as the anti-theft door.

“You must be crazy! Why would someone use this material to build a wall!”

“Impossible! This is too abnormal!”

Some people did not give up and continued to smash the wall from another angle. However, they found that no matter what angle they were from, they could not find any flaws in the house.

Ye Xingchen looked at the screen and pursed his lips. His face was filled with perseverance. “If I can’t even think of this question in my second life, then 1 really should be killed by you all again.”

The noise outside lasted for more than half an hour, comparable to the noise of road construction in the past, but Ye Xingchen enjoyed it a little. Only at this time could he feel his life in the past twenty years.

Ma Chaowen’s eyes were bloodshot. He was burning with anxiety. He did not expect Ye Xingchen to be so abnormal that the entire house was built with this kind of material.

He was not like the others. He was injured. If so many people could not take down Ye Xingchen’s villa, then he could only wait for death.

Ma Chaowen bit his lips so hard that he didn’t even notice that he was bleeding.

“Ye Xingchen already knew that there would be this snow disaster! The reason why he used alloy steel to build the wall was clearly to guard against us!”

Ma Chaowen pointed at the spot where Ye Xingchen had shot and shouted angrily.

“Despicable scoundrel! You will regret your selfishness!”

“Do you know that you’re vulnerable too? If we all die, you definitely won’t live long!”

“You will regret this, Ye Xingchen! At a time like this, without a team, you won’t be able to live long alone!”

Everyone was at their wit’s end, but they were unwilling to retreat just like that. They could only curse at Ye Xingchen’s door..
