Chapter Five The Locked Gate

  When the government and upper class try to "solve" so-called social contradictions in the form of a "killing night", as lower-class people, apart from having to endure this slaughter year after year, some have also begun to fight back. As the saying goes: where there is oppression, there will inevitably be resistance.

  The rich and the upper class can hide in their homes equipped with advanced security facilities to avoid the killing night, or they can organize a team of mercenaries at their own expense to participate in the killing and enjoy the thrill of it, occupying an absolutely dominant position.

  However, this year, during the "Night of Slaughter", a group of underclass people gathered together. They also acquired weapons through their own channels and formed a team with an astonishing number of over 500 people. This team far exceeded in scale those mercenary troops established by the rich themselves, which had only seven or eight or even just ten members. The purpose of this "Slaughter Corps" composed of underclass people was to attack those seemingly carefree rich people during the "Night of Slaughter".

  They want the wealthy and upper-class to bleed on the night of slaughter, so that they can also feel a deep-seated fear of the "Night of Slaughter", and thus force the upper-class to cancel the "Human Purge Plan", allowing the lower-class people not to suffer from this bloodbath and massacre every year. They call themselves saints, under the leadership of Saint Martin, they are fearless, using slaughter to suppress slaughter, killing to stop killing!

  Tonight, after the clock struck seven, just as the curtain of the killing night had barely opened, they had already swarmed out, with over 500 people armed and riding in a dozen or so large buses to arrive at a wealthy villa area.

  "Tonight, we will use our own hands to make those so-called rich people feel fear. We will return all the pain that 'Killing Night' has brought us over the years. We will let them know that we, the lower class in their eyes, are not fish to be played with at their will. We will make them bleed, make them feel pain, and feel our anger!"

  "So, let them abolish this damned 'Human Eradication Plan'!!!!!!"

  Martin, known as the 'Holy Father', was delivering his own impassioned speech, and he indeed had a gift for oratory and incitement. As he continued to speak, hundreds of members of the "Killing Legion" around him shot out blazing anger in their eyes, as if they could hardly wait to drink the blood of those rich people at this moment, the atmosphere was extremely hot.

  "There is a family here, the head of the household is called Sanding. It was he who designed security systems for those rich people, and it was also because of selling these security systems that he became a rich man himself. He allowed those rich people to enjoy the protection brought by the security system while watching us poor people being slaughtered and hearing our cries of despair. You can say that Sanding's hands are also stained with the blood of us poor people. Tonight, we will make him pay for his crimes in blood!"

  "Blood debt must be repaid with blood! Blood debt must be repaid with blood! Blood debt must be repaid with blood!"

  Martin raised his hands and roared, "We will make him the first sacrifice of 'Killing Legion' tonight! We will make him the first rich man to wail before us tonight! Come on, warriors, come on, it's time for those damned rich people to feel our anger! Haha, come on, tonight is our killing night, belongs to us, Killing Legion! We are saints, saints of the poor, entrusted by God, tonight we will execute our judgment!"

  "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

  More than 500 people rushed into the villa area, and each of the villas in this area had already activated their security systems, turning them into small fortresses. Of course, it was impossible to break through these villas with traditional firearms, but tonight, the "Killing Legion" was well-prepared, with almost everyone carrying two strings of hand grenades, and some people even holding **.

  The government stipulates that on the night of slaughter, only firearms with a caliber below a certain level are allowed to be used, while explosives are strictly prohibited and not allowed to be used on the night of slaughter. Otherwise, they will bear legal responsibility. After the night of slaughter is over, the military will execute those who violate the regulations by hanging. However, these "slaughter squad" saints have directly ignored this government regulation. Tonight, they just want to vent their dissatisfaction with the rich people and don't care about tomorrow and the future. Moreover, if they don't use these explosives, how can they break open the "turtle shells" where the rich people live?

  ……

  "You're a bunch of devils!"

  In the basement, Sanding dressed his wife and daughter, hung his head low, walked slowly towards Xiao Xuan, his voice was very low, but there was a kind of desperate determination.

  "Hah, whether we are devils or not I'm not clear, but if you take one more step forward, your whole family will become ghosts. Then, I'll... your wife and daughter, even if they're already dead, I'll do my best to desecrate their corpses."

  Xiao Xuan's voice was also very low, his hand holding a pistol, when he said these words, he stared at Sandin with a calm face, bringing great pressure to Sandin, giving people a strong sense of conviction, really making people feel that what he said could definitely be done.

  Santin's lips moved a few times, but his feet had already stopped moving. He didn't dare to and couldn't gamble with the lives and dignity of his family members against this evil demon, because Santin wasn't clear that if he died, would these devils also be directly annihilated by the "main god"? Otherwise, Santin might really have to kill himself to achieve a mutual destruction.

  "Sit well, stay well, your family still needs you."

  First with a strong tone, then with a gentle one, Xiao Xuan is able to confidently guide people's emotions through some details at this critical moment.

  Sang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally returned to his wife and children's side, kissing their foreheads one by one, comforting them.

  In the villa outside the underground room, Dong Ge, who was watching the surveillance screen in his study, suddenly stood up from his recliner. His face turned very dark and ugly because he saw a large group of people holding weapons and even explosives appearing outside his own villa.

  Such a lineup, and Dong Ge couldn't help but feel flustered. He had only been through three task worlds and hadn't received many rewards, barely completing the main tasks each time. As a result, his enhancement level was not high, and even ordinary firearms posed a great threat to him. Yet, despite this, Dong Ge remained the captain of the Chinese team, revealing just how weak the team had become.

  The current Chinese team is facing hundreds of people armed with weapons, and it's really a desperate situation!

  "Liu Min, Ding Min, something's happened!"

  Dong Ge's voice came from the study, and Liu Min and Ding Ming, who were originally lying on the sofa in the living room eating, looked at each other and quickly got up and ran towards the study. With their understanding of Dong Ge, if it wasn't for something extremely tricky happening, Dong Ge would never have lost his composure like this.

  When Liu Min and Ding Ming entered the study and saw the image displayed on the monitor, both of their faces also showed extremely shocked expressions, especially Ding Ming, who pointed at the person holding ** in the image and exclaimed in horror:

  Grenade?

  Liu Min's eyes were filled with terror and some incredulity, and she couldn't help but mutter: "Is he telling the truth? Is he telling the truth? This villa is really going to be blown up!"

  It seems that Dong Ge is now recalling what Xiao Xuan said earlier, that this villa will be blown up after this, and asks everyone to leave the villa immediately. Previously, they thought Xiao Xuan was talking nonsense, but now it turns out that what he said was indeed correct.

  "What about Xiao Xuan?" Dong Ge asked anxiously.

  "In... in the basement, he was watching the Sandin family in the basement." Ding Ming replied.

  "Right, the basement! Let's go, go to the basement, maybe we can still hide there!"

  Dong Ge made a swift decision and rushed out of the study room, running towards the basement. Dong Min and Ding Ming followed closely behind him. The three people's faces were filled with panic. This villa was about to be blown up, how could anyone inside not be panicked? However, if they really intended to destroy this place, the basement seemed to be the only place in the villa where they could hide.

  Soon, Xiao Xuan, who was sitting in the basement, heard the sound of the basement door being knocked on, followed by Dong Ge's voice:

  "Xiao Xuan, why did you lock the door from inside? Open it quickly! Open it quickly!"

  Xiao Xuan heard the knocking on the door and the shouting, but remained unmoved, instead letting his back relax even more comfortably against the wall of the basement, lazily saying:

  "Since you didn't listen to me and leave the villa earlier, when this villa is bombed, there will be a few charred bodies left outside, so people outside won't suspect anything and won't come searching for this underground room."

  "What's wrong with you, Xiao Xuan! What do you mean by this? You're asking for death, don't you know that?! Believe it or not, I'll kill you directly!" Liu Min cursed loudly.

  "Xiao Xuan, if you don't open the door now, I'll make you regret it!" Ding Ming also started to threaten.

  However, the threats from these two people did not get a response from Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan remained quietly sitting in the chair in the basement, while the faces of Sang Ding and his family showed surprise. They were unclear about what had happened outside and didn't know what was going on with this group of thugs either.

  "Get out of the way and let me break in!" Dong Ge shouted at Ding Ming and Liu Min beside him.

  Liu Min and Ding Ming quickly retreated, they knew Dong Ge's strength, maybe it was really possible to open this door.

  Dong Ge's arm suddenly bulged, thickening by several circles, and then a deterrent aura was emitted. Next, Dong Ge took a step forward, his waist exerting force, and he heavily punched the door of the basement.

  Bang!

  The door of the basement made a loud noise and shook violently, and even Xiao Xuan, who was sitting inside, was no longer so calm. He looked at the basement door that had been dented in a big chunk, and his face also showed a shocked expression:

  "This is the power granted by the main god? It's really amazing."

  Seeing Dong Ge's punch having such a good effect, it is estimated that coming a few more punches might really directly blast open the basement door. Ding Ming and Liu Min both showed excited expressions on their faces. They didn't dare to go outside and face hundreds of thugs holding guns. Without self-protection ability, they would definitely be beaten to death instantly like a hornet's nest. At this moment, this basement has become their only hope!

  However, the members of the killing squad outside did not give Dong Ge time to continue throwing punches. With a command from Saint Father Martin, the explosives set up outside the villa were detonated simultaneously.

  "Boom!"

  The entire villa collapsed in an instant!
