Super Rich: Obtained Shares of 100 Billion Group at the Beginning

Chapter 705: Blocking the Entire City

Just as Qiangwei finished speaking, the sound of footsteps approaching from far away suddenly rang out from outside the quiet door.

The sound echoed in the empty corridor, seeming particularly abrupt.

The killers who were originally sitting or lying in the room and seemed to be slightly relaxed suddenly became alert, and their nerves quickly tensed up like cheetahs smelling danger.

Their eyes instantly became as sharp as hawks. The pistols that were casually placed aside were quietly gripped tightly, with their fingers resting on the triggers and applying slight force. The cold texture of the metal seemed to merge into one with them.

The killer holding a long knife stood up silently, the blade flashing coldly in the dim light. He squatted slightly, assuming a posture that combined defense and attack. His muscles were tense, ready to rush to the door like an arrow at any time.

Hanmei approached the door tiptoe, being extremely cautious with every step, fearing that any sound would expose her position.

Her heartbeat involuntarily quickened, her breathing became slow and long, and her entire senses were heightened to the extreme.

As she slowly approached the cat's eye and peered out through the tiny hole, her tense body relaxed slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Xueying is back. She's back with the supplies."

Upon hearing this, everyone slowly put away their weapons, but the vigilance in their eyes still remained, and they were always ready to deal with any possible danger.

"Click"

As the door opened, Xueying, dressed in casual clothes, walked in carrying a large bag of food and drinking water.

Putting down what she was holding, she immediately came to Qiangwei and knelt on one knee.

"Chief, there's a problem."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere, which had been slightly relaxed, instantly became like a taut bowstring, and the hearts of the killers were once again in their throats.

Youlan was extremely anxious. She rushed forward, her eyes fixed on Xueying, and asked anxiously, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Xueying took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said slowly, "I went out to buy supplies as usual, but as soon as I stepped onto the street, I noticed something strange."

"This city, which used to be quite bustling, is now filled with an oppressive and murderous atmosphere."

"The streets and alleys were filled with armed police. Not only that, I even saw the army, with military vehicles roaring past and soldiers deployed at key locations."

"I didn't dare to ask rashly, so I could only carefully explore the periphery for information."

"After some twists and turns, I finally learned that the entire city is under martial law. The higher-ups have strictly prohibited anyone from leaving unless necessary, and all major transportation routes have been blocked."

When Youlan and Hanmei heard this, they looked at each other, their worries evident in their expressions. Youlan bit her lower lip and murmured:

"What should we do? We were already like frightened birds, not yet completely out of danger, when we ran into such a change. This city is like an impenetrable net. Aren't we trapped in it now?"

But after hearing this, Qiangwei narrowed her eyes slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.

After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, her expression gradually relaxing as she calmly analyzed, "This may seem like a desperate situation, but it's actually not entirely a bad thing for us. On the contrary, it could be a godsend."

"I suspect it's very likely that the big shot behind Gardenia and Blood Rose has intervened."

"what?!"

"Was this done by the big guy behind Gardenia and Blood Rose?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"Chief, why is this happening? Why would the big shot behind Gardenia and the others do this?"

Hanmei asked in confusion.

In her opinion, since the big shots behind Gardenia and the others were willing to help, why not just provide them with a stable and safe place so that they could gather the scattered members of the organization?

In fact, she was not the only one who thought so, other shadow assassins also thought so.

But when Leader Qiangwei heard her subordinates' doubts, she shook her head:

"The fact that the entire city is under martial law isn't a bad thing for us, it's a good thing. Think about it, what we need most right now while we're hiding from each other is stability."

"The police and the military have sealed off the entire city, so the killers from the Black Crows and other assassin organizations don't dare act too recklessly. After all, no matter how skilled their martial arts skills are, they're still afraid of guns."

"What's more, we are all notorious killers. If we are caught by law enforcement, death will be waiting for us. So, after the police sealed off the city, we dared not move, and the killers who were hunting us dared not move either."

"We just need to wait here and wait for that big man to come and rescue us."

After Qiangwei's analysis, she instantly convinced all the killers.

"It seems to be true. I just went out and didn't see a single killer. The streets were full of ordinary people."

Xueying thought for a moment and spoke.

As a shadow assassin, she can spot killers hidden in the crowd at a glance.

Naturally, you can tell who are the killers and who are ordinary people.

"Chief, then according to what you said, aren't we safe?"

Youlan said happily, and the other killers also showed expressions of surviving a disaster when they heard it.

After several days of chasing and fighting, even they felt a little exhausted.

Seeing that her subordinates were somewhat lax, Qiangwei's expression immediately became serious. She looked at everyone with a firm gaze and said in a steady and powerful voice:

"Everyone, although the current situation seems to be favorable to us, we must not let our guard down. Although martial law restricts movement, the danger is not truly gone. The slightest carelessness could lead to disaster."

"Yes! Don't worry, Chief, we know!"

The killers nodded. Having experienced life and death many times, they naturally would not let down their guard just because of this little change.

Qiangwei didn't say anything, but picked up the water that Xueying had just bought, opened it and took a sip, then walked to the other side.

At this moment, her inner thoughts were like surging tides. She knew that all these changes were most likely caused by the unfathomable figure behind Gardenia and Blood Cherry.

In just one night, a city was placed under complete martial law, with the police and the army seemingly being precisely controlled by an invisible hand. Such a powerful and efficient force is simply beyond imagination.

What kind of force is this? What is its purpose? Is it truly committed to protecting them, or is there a more complex and sinister agenda hidden beneath this thick fog?

Now, my sisters and I are like travelers groping in the dark. Although there is a ray of light in front of our eyes, we have no idea whether there is a deadly trap hidden behind this light.

She had to be extremely alert and lead her sisters to carefully find a way forward in this confusing situation, not letting go of any slight mistakes.

Otherwise, if they make a mistake, they will face a devastating blow, and even annihilation is possible.
