Our Apartment Complex Transmigrated… Again Chapter 278: Evil Spirits of the Human World

"Five hundred ters? Boss, do we need to burn that far? How about just burning a hundred ters?" A subordinate nearby hesitated.

Yang Long frowned, turning his head to stare at this person. "Are you questioning ?"

"No, no, Brother Long, I just think..."

Slap!

Yang Long withdrew his right hand. "Still dare to talk back!"

The subordinate covered his face, not daring to look up.

Yang Long said sternly, "I'm doing this for everyone's future! What kind of people are inside that building, you all know! At this point, still clinging to wishful thinking! Being rciful to them is being cruel to ourselves. Now go and take action!"

"Yes! Brother Long!"

After the subordinate left, Yang Long still raised his head, looking toward the rooftop.

Through the windows and those broken, gaping holes, he saw familiar yet strange faces.

Yang Long's eyes were dark and unreadable. Once the arrow leaves the bow, it cannot be recalled.

Living on the sa island as you all makes feel far too insecure.

So, you should all just die.

"No matter what they want to do, we can't let them finish it. Also, if the surrounding forest really gets cleared, the area will beco flat open ground with nowhere to hide when we go out," i Yuqing said decisively.

"Su Xiao, you co with to find the Floor Heads downstairs."

"Sister i, you're right. They definitely have a sche. Maybe they want to burn the forest to make it easier to transport so weapons in."

"What? You still need people? Sister i, you're really putting in a difficult spot. Just now, people from the second, third, and fourth floors ca up and already took a large group from us. We really don't have many people left right now."

"Why don't you go ask downstairs again?"

"Ask, ask, ask, ask your big-headed ghost! I just ca down from the thirty-second floor, and they all said they have no people. Li Zecheng, I helped you get this position back then."

"Sister i, one thing at a ti. I acknowledge I owe you this favor, but we really have no people." Li Zecheng said halfway, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, subtly sizing her up. He leaned in closer and said softly, "Sister i, I just got my hands on two bottles of red wine yesterday. Want to co to my room to sample them?"

i Yuqing sneered. "You dare to ss with the boss's woman? ssing with the boss's woman ans three stabs and six holes."

"Tsk, Sister i, don't be so distant. What three stabs and six holes? I only want the one on your body..."

Su Xiao's eyes widened in fury. He took a step forward, his right hand moving to his waist.

Li Zecheng instantly sobered up, hurriedly retreating two steps. Two of his subordinates ca up behind him, shielding him.

"Ahem, Sister i, I really have no people here. Go ask downstairs, or I can give you the ten people I sent downstairs. You can go to the lower floors to get them." Li Zecheng quickly waved his hand, as if avoiding sothing unlucky, then turned and retreated into his Ho.

Watching Li Zecheng's back, i Yuqing spat.

"This damn pervert."

This Li Zecheng looked decent on the surface, but in secret, he most enjoyed eating raw, pan-fried... nipples, consuming both n and won.

Yet on the surface, he liked wearing suits and glasses, the very picture of a cultured beast.

Of course, the others weren't much better.

The twenty-third floor head, Xie Tingyun, was a starved ghost of lust, engaging in acts in front of husbands, keeping pregnant won, with many twisted variations.

The twenty-second floor head, Wu Wei, was even more notorious, famously consuming both n and won. Not just consuming, but consuming thoroughly.

Dealing with these human demons, she couldn't afford to be careless.

For this trip downstairs, she brought over a dozen personal bodyguards, with Su Xiao providing close protection.

But the results weren't ideal. These Floor Heads passed the buck to each other. In the end, she only got seven people from the bottom three floors.

The first floor of Red Cauldron Tower was the lobby, uninhabited. Starting from the second floor was the formal residential area.

So the second, third, and fourth floors were the bottom three floors closest to the ground.

Because they were near the first floor, convenient for moving things, many Ho buildings like the Blacksmith and carpenter workshops were located on these bottom three floors. The defensive strength and overall power of these three floors had traditionally been the strongest within Blood Script, aside from the top floors.

Hearing i Yuqing's request, the heads of the bottom three floors all expressed refusal.

"Sister i, it's not that we're unwilling, but sending people out now is just a pointless drain on manpower. Sending too few is useless, sending too many risks falling into an ambush. We have the geographical advantage of the building; there's no need to go out."

"That's right. If the upper floor heads are willing to send people, we support it. Our three floors need to guard the ground floor. What if the enemy charges up?"

Looking at the three righteous and solemn faces before her.

i Yuqing felt sowhat disappointed. Back when Liu Ze was still around, these three were considered his staunch supporters and were also quite close to her, calling her 'Sister i' constantly.

Whatever she wanted, with just a word, these three would try every thod to get it for her.

How long has it been? The person is gone, the tea is cold. Liu Ze's corpse probably isn't even cold yet.

She asked, "Once they set this fire, it won't be convenient for us to get food. What if they adopt a scorched earth policy, trying to starve us out?"

The Third Floor Head suddenly smiled. In the dim hallway, his teeth looked particularly stark. "Sister i, you won't starve. Brother Ze took good care of us before; we won't let you go hungry."

i Yuqing's face darkened.

"Sister i, the na 'Golden Crispy Claw' was given by you, right? An eighteen-year-old girl's hand, roasted until crispy outside and tender inside, with golden-red fat. You have the most talent for naming things." The Fourth Floor Head said with a sinister tone.

"Enough!" i Yuqing took a deep breath, her ample chest heaving violently.

Her face cold, she turned and walked back.

There were so things she didn't want to rember, but these people kept reminding her, dragging her mories back to that cold night with falling snow.

As a woman, to survive, to integrate into this group of human demons, to climb higher and not be bullied by others...

She stopped at nothing, exerted every effort, becoming more wicked than the wicked, more of a whore than whores, more insane than the insane.

She invested in Liu Ze early on, before he rose to prominence.

Crawling through that dark period, she eventually beca the gang's 'boss's woman' in Blood Script.

She climbed to this position precisely to be able to wear the skin of a human, to live as a person.

"Sister i, now you look down on us for eating at? Back then, it was your own hand that cut down that girl's hand, roasted it in front of everyone. You ate it quite heartily back then."

"Heard she was even her close friend."

The voices of the Second and Fourth Floor Heads drifted from behind.

"Ma'am, need to..." Su Xiao whispered, asking.

i Yuqing shook her head slightly. Now was not the ti to act. They still needed to rely on them as a defensive dike on the lower floors.

Turning the corner of the stairs, her steps slowed. Her right hand reached into the front of her clothes, grabbing a necklace.

Strung on it was a yellowed finger bone.

Seeing this finger bone, i Yuqing felt a complex mix of emotions, but regret was not among them.

She grabbed the finger bone, brought it to her lips, and gave it a light touch.

Then, from her throat, ca a string of low, ambiguous laughter. "Heh heh heh..."

Outside the building, firelight spread.

Large numbers of trees were burned.

Although the fire had difficulty spreading, basically destroying the vegetation in a nearby area before gradually extinguishing on its own,

It couldn't withstand the sheer number of ignited areas.

Patches of firelight spread through the forest. Above the island, thick black smoke drifted.

Qin Ziwen put down the binoculars and handed them to Qin Ziwu beside him.

"Interesting. Even like this, the people inside the building still won't co out. Are they ninja turtles?"

"Guild Leader, I think they're most likely scared out of their wits by our ballistae, only daring to hide inside the building, wanting to rely on the terrain advantage to defend."

"Don't rush." Qin Ziwen's tone was calm. "I've already sent the Crowned Eagle back to deliver a ssage, telling Li Yue and the others to build catapults. Once the catapults are ready, we'll give the other side another surprise."
