Chapter 172 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

"Surround this building for me!"

Liao Long's voice was exceptionally clear in the noisy environment. He pointed to the nearest high-rise not far away, a cold, confident smirk on his face.

"Thinking they can muddy the waters by pulling a stunt like that? How foolish!"

His subordinates immediately understood. A burly man stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Boss Long, what about this corpse..."

Liao Long glanced at the mangled remains on the ground without even blinking.

"Take it," he said casually. "Throw this thing in front of Zhuang Yi and those old fossils. Let them appreciate the consequences of not cooperating."

"Yes!"

Several Dragon Gang members immediately stepped forward and roughly dragged the broken corpse away, leaving a long trail of blood on the grass.

Su Ze was mixed in the back of the crowd, head lowered, hiding his figure completely in the shadows.

He watched Liao Long's profile, his estimation of this man rising another level.

Ruthless, decisive, and quick-witted.

He had instantly deduced the opponent's hideout from just one corpse.

"Everyone else, follow me!"

Liao Long waved his hand and led the way toward the high-rise.

"Since she jumped from here, her companions are more than likely hiding in this building!"

"Search it floor by floor! Don't let a single mouse escape!"

Over a hundred Dragon Gang members and the ordinary players they coerced flooded into the building like a torrent.

Suddenly, the entire building was filled with the sounds of violent kicking and chaotic footsteps.

Su Ze followed the main force, observing calmly.

These Dragon Gang elites were highly efficient, with clear divisions of labor and tacit understanding; they were clearly professionally trained.

They didn't waste any time; whenever they encountered a locked door, they simply kicked it open.

The search quickly advanced to the 17th floor.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several burly men were forcefully kicking the door of 1704, causing the thick security door to groan under the strain.

Just then!

"Creak—"

The door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.

"Kill!"

With a sharp cry, three figures charged out like lightning!

Leading them was a woman in a professional suit, holding a fire axe. With resolute eyes, she swung directly at the head of the leading burly man!

Two other young girls also charged at the crowd recklessly, wielding a kitchen knife and a crowbar respectively!

"Splurt!"

Blood splattered.

The burly man was caught off guard and struck in the shoulder by the axe, retreating with a scream.

The hallway was instantly thrown into chaos!

"Damn it! Still daring to resist!"

"Grab them! Don't let them run!"

The surrounding players swarmed them, and the narrow hallway was instantly filled with flashes of blades.

Su Ze was squeezed to the periphery of the crowd, clearly seeing that these three women were not weak—they were even stronger than most ordinary male players at Jinghai University.

Although their movements were not professional, every strike was a desperate, suicidal tactic, filled with a fierce determination to go down fighting.

However, two fists are no match for four hands.

There were too many Dragon Gang members.

In less than a minute, they were all wounded.

The fire axe was snatched away, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground.

Yet even so, the three of them still blocked the doorway tightly, using their bodies to form a defensive line, preventing anyone from approaching the room behind them.

"Hahaha, they're almost done for!"

"Take them down! The others must be hiding inside!"

A player shouted excitedly, his face full of greed.

Just as everyone was preparing to swarm them and finish these women off, a cold voice came from the back of the crowd.

"Stop."

The crowd automatically parted a path, and Liao Long walked over slowly, hands in his suit pockets.

He looked at the three blood-covered, panting women with interest, a mocking smirk curling the corner of his mouth.

"Tsk tsk, quite the fighters."

He stopped and said leisurely, "Hand over the items, and I can give you a quick death."

The woman in the professional suit spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground, her face full of mocking sneers.

Before she could speak,

A sudden change occurred!

Beside Liao Long, a silent burly man flashed forward, appearing in front of the woman instantly!

The speed was too fast for anyone to react!

"Snap!"

A crisp bone-cracking sound echoed.

The burly man's large hand twisted the woman's neck directly.

Her body collapsed softly, eyes still wide open, filled with unwillingness and shock.

It all happened too fast; the other two girls hadn't even reacted yet.

The next second, the burly man grinned, using both hands like iron pincers to grab their necks and lift them up into the air!

"Speak, or not?"

"Cough... cough..."

The two girls' faces turned purple instantly, their feet kicking helplessly in the air.

"Don't be in such a hurry to kill them," another core member walked up and stopped him. "Search them first, ask them. Others, go into the room and drag the rest out!"

"Yes!"

Several players immediately stepped forward and roughly searched the two girls whose necks were being held.

A moment later, they shook their heads.

"Boss Long, nothing! Not on them!"

Meanwhile, the players who had rushed into the room also ran out with ugly expressions.

"Boss Long... inside... there's no one inside!"

"What?!"

Liao Long's smile froze instantly.

No one?!

He turned his head violently to look at the wide-open door, then at the warm corpse on the ground, and the two girls being choked to the brink of death.

A thought exploded in his mind!

Luring the tiger away from the mountain?

The first woman jumping off the building was to draw everyone's attention to this building,

These three women charging out to fight to the death was to drag them all to this floor!

Their true purpose was to cover the truly important people as they escaped via another route!

"Fuck!"

Liao Long's face darkened instantly, his polite facade completely shattered, replaced by furious, ferocious madness!

"Get the fuck downstairs!"

He let out a hysterical roar.

"Seal off the entire complex! Search! Dig three feet underground if you have to, but find them!"

Meanwhile,

Just as there was chaos upstairs,

A small figure was moving quickly through the residential complex, using various buildings and green belts as cover.

It was Zhuang Xiaoxin.

Her small face was covered in tear stains, her small body trembling violently from fear and running.

She dared not look back, only running desperately, her mother's and the aunts' words echoing in her mind before they rushed out.

"Xiaoxin, I didn't expect them to clear the zombies so quickly. There's only one way now..."

"We'll create an opportunity for you to escape! Remember, run towards the university!"
