In a villa's living room within the row of villa complexes, three men were sitting.

One had a smaller, pale build, looking like someone exhausted from overindulgence.

Another was tall and burly, with a gold necklace as thick as a finger, resembling a local thug boss.

The last one appeared very refined, wearing glasses and looking cultured.

"Big brother, the poison mist looks like it's about to clear. Shouldn't we start dealing with that kid in Building Twelve?"

The gaunt man said sinisterly.

The man with glasses adjusted his glasses: "No rush, we're not lacking supplies at the moment; that kid fortified Building Twelve like a doomsday fortress, attacking it head-on is too difficult."

"What's the problem? Once the poison mist clears, I'll gather the brothers to surround him. Then we'll use cutting machines and impact drills on him. I want to see just how tough his turtle shell is."

The man with the gold chain spoke disdainfully.

The three men were brothers.

The man with glasses was the eldest, named Zhou Feng, who ran a real estate company.

The thug was the second, named Zhou Gang, who ran a large nightclub and several game halls, with a crew of men working for him.

The gaunt man was the youngest, named Zhou Peng, working under Zhou Gang and Zhou Feng, supported by his two elder brothers.

The three brothers lived together and had a very good relationship.

During the snowstorm, they took action and robbed supplies from several nearby families, killed the men, and locked up the women as tools for relieving their urges.

Though their life wasn't as comfortable as Wang Hao's, it wasn't much worse.

They had walkie-talkies too.

Because of Sun Yaoyao's previous calls, they tapped into their channel and thereafter kept changing channels until they finally locked on the channel through which Wang Hao and Sun Yaoyao communicated.

They didn't speak, only listened in.

The past few days, they learned everything about Wang Hao's conversations with Sun Yaoyao.

"That Wang Hao from Building Twelve is nothing; there's always a way to crack his turtle shell. The main concern is the woman at Moon Viewing Garden halfway up the mountain."

Zhou Feng adjusted his glasses, his expression slightly grave:

"I've heard before that someone significant from the military lives at Moon Viewing Garden. That woman, Lin Yuennan, has a complicated background. She's a special forces soldier and claims she can protect Wang Hao, so she must have long-range attack weapons. I even suspect she has a sniper rifle."

"This... seems unlikely, right?"

Upon hearing about a sniper rifle, Zhou Gang felt a bit intimidated.

Moon Viewing Garden indeed would be an excellent sniping point!

From that elevated position, as long as there are enough bullets, no matter how many people go, they're dead meat.

"Nothing is impossible. A woman like that wouldn't surprise me if she pulls out a rocket launcher."

Excitement glimmered in Zhou Feng's eyes:

"So our primary targets should be those two. Once we take them down, Wang Hao loses his shield, and we can even acquire various weapons and equipment from inside. Then, we deal with Wang Hao, and we'll have guns and supplies, allowing us to make a name for ourselves in this chaotic world."

"But that woman shouldn't be easy to deal with, right?"

Zhou Gang rubbed his chin.

He's mixed in the underworld and had some skills, yet facing a special forces soldier made him uneasy.

Especially a special forces soldier with weapons.

"What's so hard about it? Second Brother, even if she's a special forces soldier, she's just a woman. Are you afraid of her?"

The youngest, Zhou Peng, looked at Zhou Gang with some disdain.

He always looked down on women, considering them mere playthings.

"Afraid of her? A little chick? I'd snap her neck!"

Provoked like that, Zhou Gang immediately felt indignant.

"Enough! I never said we'd confront her head-on."

Zhou Feng shook his head in helplessness.

"Big brother, what do you mean..."

Both their eyes fell on Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng was the smartest among the three.

He made most decisions, and they had never taken a wrong step all these years, earning the respect of his brothers.

"Lin Yuennan may be a special forces soldier, but Sun Yaoyao isn't. They probably don't have ample supplies like Wang Hao. When the mist clears, Lin Yuennan either goes to Wang Hao for supplies or gathers her own. Either way, she'd have to leave Moon Viewing Garden. That's when we secretly infiltrate.

If we can't break Wang Hao's turtle shell, can we not breach Moon Viewing Garden? Once we seize the weapons inside and take Sun Yaoyao hostage, what would Lin Yuennan count for then?"

Zhou Feng briefly explained his plan.

Zhou Gang and Zhou Peng's eyes lit up.

Exactly!

They didn't have to confront Lin Yuennan head-on!

"Big brother, those two women have unusual backgrounds. Will this cause trouble?"

Zhou Gang was still concerned.

Despite appearing dim-witted and burly, reaching his current status involved more than mere fists.

In the underworld, background and status are crucial, especially for someone like Lin Yuennan with an official background.

It's usually best to steer clear of such people.

"Let's observe first; there's no hurry to make a move. I reckon it won't be a big issue. After all, it's an apocalypse now. The roads are full of ghouls and zombies. Mobilizing a large force is too difficult for her."

As Zhou Feng rotated the ring on his finger, his half-closed eyes glinted with wisdom:

"Let alone gathering people, I bet even calling for someone to pick them up is hard. Otherwise, she wouldn't partner with Wang Hao."

"Big brother is right. They're truly god-sent benefactors!"

Zhou Gang cracked a grin:

"Chaos breeds heroes! As brothers, we can surely make our mark in this post-apocalyptic world."

"Hehe! Let's not rush achievements just yet; when do we bring over that Chen Ru? I've been thinking about that big star for a long time."

Zhou Peng grinned lewdly.

The Blue Sky Villa District was a wealthy area, naturally housing some celebrities.

Chen Ru was one of them.

Zhou Peng had his eyes on her even before the apocalypse, often peeping at her.

However, her backer was too powerful, and he didn't dare act recklessly.

Now things were different.

The apocalypse had arrived, and they weren't even afraid of Lin Yuennan with her military background.

Why fear the backer? He's probably starving to death by now.

"Aren't the women upstairs enough for you to play with?"

Zhou Feng frowned at him, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"How can they compare to Chen Ru? Besides, playing with them for so many days has become boring."

Zhou Peng muttered under his breath, head lowered.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Feng's expression softened, and his eyes even showed a hint of fondness.

He had always doted on his youngest brother.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Peng could live a life of debauchery, indulging in eating, drinking, and playing every day.

"Alright, alright. In a few days, when the mist disperse a bit more, we'll bring that Chen Ru over."

Zhou Feng reached out and patted Zhou Peng's head.

"Hehe! Big brother, you go first then."

Zhou Peng suddenly beamed with joy.

"I'll be second."

Zhou Gang seemed quite interested in Chen Ru as well, after all, she was a big star.

"No way! I'm second. Second Brother, you go last. It'll be ruined once you've had your turn."

"Damn it! I can be gentle, too, when facing a beauty!"
