Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies-Chapter 133: Cleaning up the building
Chapter 133: Cleaning up the building
Soon, evening arrived, and everyone got ready for the ambush.
This time, Ethan let Daniel and Andrei join as lookouts but warned them not to confront the robbers alone.
"Remember to stay hidden. If the fight gets worse, retreat to Paradise," he instructed.
"We will, Brother Ethan."
Afterward, they put on black suits with red stripes on their shoulders.
This helped them blend into the night while signaling that they were allies.
Ethan then instructed the team to position themselves every five floors throughout the building to surround the robbers and detect when the raid began.
"Oso and Andrei, you’re one team. Then Xander and Daniel, followed by Ramon and Uncle Anthony. I repeat, do not engage with them alone. Notify us first so we can plan. Do you understand?"
"Noted, Chief."
"Alright, Ethan."
They went downstairs and waited for the robbers to make their move.
It was nearly midnight when Xander and Daniel heard footsteps descending the stairs.
Hiding in a secluded spot on the 20th floor, they quietly followed the sounds.
They quickly notified Elena that the robbers might be staying on the 21st floor above and were currently descending to the 15th floor.
Now, they were with Oslo and Andrei, who were hiding on the 16th floor, ready to coordinate for the next move.
Hearing this, Elena and Ethan, who were on the 11th floor, went upstairs and stopped on the 14th floor.
Using her [Telepathy] skill, Elena instructed everyone to stand by and gather information.
"Indeed, these robbers are currently in someone else’s unit. According to Xander, they are likely from the 21st floor and above," Elena said, quickly updating Ethan on the situation.
"Alright, let’s see what they’re up to."
****
The robbers were laughing as they eyed unit 1501.
According to the information they had gathered, this unit contained supplies and medicines brought down from the 26th floor and above.
"Are you sure this is the right place, babe?" one of the robbers asked, glancing at the shy woman in his arms, touching her inappropriately in every way.
The other robbers whistled, enjoying the show while waiting for their turn later.
This woman was actually the daughter of the old shameless woman from unit 2201, who argued with Elena the moment they arrived at the building.
She had sold her body to survive in this disaster; don’t get it wrong—she did it willingly, with her mother’s permission.
Now that her potential suitors, Xander and Oslo, wouldn’t look at her, she found ways to ruin them.
She then informed the robbers about the floor above, which excited them as they plotted against the floor above while robbing the other units.
"Yes, this unit knows about the floor above. If we can interrogate him, he might give us valuable information," the woman said confidently, pretending to be shy while being molested.
"You’re really our lucky charm; we will definitely pamper you," the leader replied.
"Alright, let’s knock on the unit politely. Otherwise, you boys know what to do."
The woman turned pale upon hearing the leader’s intentions, but she quickly steadied herself, thinking about the promising rewards that awaited her if she gave her best performance.
Soon, the knocking began, but the door remained tightly shut. The robbers grew angry and demanded that the door be opened.
"Open it right now while I’m still in a good mood, but if you don’t, you’ll face the consequences," the leader threatened.
The neighbors who heard the loud knocking and shouting became fearful. They nervously hid, afraid their units might be next.
Elena was stunned by what she heard. The audacity of these robbers trying to raid their home and using the woman like a toy made her angry.
However, when she realized the woman was cooperating willingly, her anger subsided.
In her past life, many women did similar things—not just for supplies, but to survive. They joined organizations and became muses in exchange for safety.
But in the end, most suffered brutal deaths—dying from exhaustion and despair.
Back to the present, the knocking continued. There were ten of them, but only a few carried guns.
If they could take down the armed robbers quickly, the fight would soon be over.
While the robbers were distracted, Elena contacted the others to share her observations.
"There are only three armed," she said, eyeing the robbers carefully. "Let’s each take one. Ethan and I will attack from the left side."
"I’ll cover the right side," Xander replied confidently.
"The middle will be ours," Oslo responded, ready for action.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of gunshots echoed through the floor as they quickly sprang into action, overpowering the robbers.
It took only seconds for them to regain control of the situation.
The other robbers tried to grab the fallen comrades’ guns, but they were met with relentless fire the moment they knelt.
"Who are you? Show yourselves!" the remaining robbers demanded.
When Elena and the others showed themselves, panic spread among the remaining robbers.
They were shocked to see that Elena and her team were dressed in the same outfits, thinking they were part of a rival gang.
But when Oslo and Xander took off their masks, the robbers suddenly recognized them.
On the other hand, the woman from unit 2201 shouted with excitement, "Brother Xander, Brother Oslo! Are you here to save me?"
Everyone was taken aback.
’What is this woman thinking? Is she trying to play the victim?’
"Who are you? We’re not close, so stop calling me brother," Oslo replied with a frown.
He had overheard their earlier conversation and knew what this woman had done.
"Brother Oslo, it’s me! I always came to your floor, but it was always guarded, so we never had time to be together," the woman said shyly.
’She seems delusional,’ Xander thought.
The other robbers were furious when they heard her claim.
"So you’ve been playing us all along?" one of them shouted.
"Of course! My loyalty has always been with Brother Oslo and Xander," the woman replied proudly.
"So your screams and shouts beneath our bed were part of your plan, huh? Hahaha! But girl, you also enjoyed our little group activities. At least you were tasty enough to entertain us," the robbers mocked, treating her like she was nothing more than a slut.
Elena looked at their behavior with disdain.
Seeing how healthy they appeared, she concluded that these robbers must have killed or raided many residents to maintain their strength and lifestyle.
She was about to finish them off when a robber lunged—not at them, but at the woman.
He slammed her head brutally against the concrete while laughing maniacally.
"Die, bi*ch... Die! Hahahahaha!"
The woman died painfully, staring at the robber in disbelief.
Ethan quickly fired at the remaining robbers, leaving only one alive for interrogation.
The pungent smell of blood made Elena feel like she was about to vomit.
She quickly grabbed a perfume and sprayed it to mask the harsh smell of blood.
She wanted to curse loudly, thinking her body was far too weak..
’What’s wrong with my body? Instead of getting stronger, it feels like I’m getting weaker. Something’s definitely wrong with me.’
