Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Zhao Yi, how did you manage to walk out of the medical tower so... so casually?"

Bamboo Pole felt an indescribable curiosity about this.

"I heard from them that the doctor surnamed Che is a notorious pervert."

Here, against the wall, the wind subsided a bit, and the cigarette ash between Zhao Yi's fingers didn't fly too far.

"He's not a pervert."

"He was just a patient who was being tortured to the point of madness."

The bamboo pole was stunned.

Zhao Yi exhaled a puff of white smoke and asked calmly:

How many members does the Black Tiger Gang have left?

Upon hearing this, the bamboo pole's tone became much more serious:

"About a hundred people."

"The members of the Black Tiger Gang are all strong men in prison who are over 185cm tall and weigh over 90kg. They have undergone special training and selection within the gang and are the most capable and terrifying group of prisoners in the prison."

"Furthermore, the Black Tiger Gang has a good relationship with many of the guards in the prison, and there are certain exchanges of benefits. If we kill a few members of the Black Tiger Gang, they won't necessarily stand up for the Black Tiger Gang, but if we kill too many..."

Bamboo Pole didn't continue speaking; she believed Zhao Yi understood the danger involved.

"There aren't many surveillance cameras in the prisoners' rest areas; most are just placed at the entrance. During the lunch break this afternoon, I took advantage of the chaos to slit a few people's throats. They definitely won't let me go tonight..."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Do you have a knife?"

The bamboo pole shook its head:

"Rusty iron pieces pried out from under the bed."

"And the trouble is that... the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extremely large. The daytime temperature here can reach as high as 50 degrees Celsius, but once it gets to 9 o'clock, the temperature will drop to tens of degrees below zero. The prisoners will be locked in the large warehouse at 10 o'clock. There are 300 people in one warehouse, but only 200 quilts. Those who did not manage to get quilts can only huddle together for warmth."

Zhao Yi stroked his chin:

"Is there a light?"

Bamboo pole:

"I didn't see it, but I heard from some older people that when the warehouse is closed at night, a red indicator light will be on at the main entrance, which can barely illuminate the inside of the warehouse."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi grinned:

"What a... perfect place to kill."

A slight hesitation flickered across Zhugan's dirty face:

"If we kill too many Black Tiger Gang members... the guards will find all sorts of excuses to eliminate us, since we've already seriously damaged their interests."

Zhao Yi replied:

"They can't kill me."

Bamboo Pole was taken aback:

Why?

Zhao Yi:

"First, I will not leave them any evidence."

"Secondly... someone wants me to live."

He looked into the bamboo pole's eyes and smiled:

"And you... if you don't want to die, you'd better stay away from me tonight."

...

As evening fell, the sky darkened.

After the prisoners finished their work, they were sent to take a bath in an alley.

Afterwards, they were each given a large bottle of tap water to drink, and then herded back to the warehouse like ducks.

The Black Tiger Gang members found the guard, gave him several packs of cigarettes, and whispered something in his ear. The guard in the cage suddenly grinned lewdly, accepted the cigarettes, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then said to the Black Tiger Gang members:

"Don't make too much noise. If you cause any serious trouble, I won't be able to protect you."

The Black Tiger Gang members chuckled, indicating they understood.

Soon, many of them, led by the guard, entered the warehouse where Zhao Yi was.

...

In the desert, darkness falls very quickly.

As the last rays of the crimson sunset were swallowed by the surging waves at the edge of the desert, the scorching earth grew cold at an alarming rate…

The sandstorm swept by, as sharp as an ice blade.

There was no air conditioning in the warehouse where Zhao Yi and his group were, and the temperature was still dropping rapidly. Most people moved towards the center of the warehouse, where it was relatively warmer. Some people had old, smelly quilts in their hands, while others could only hug themselves and shiver.

During the day, the news of Zhao Yi killing someone and emerging unscathed from the medical building spread like wildfire among the prisoners, especially since the warehouse housed many new inmates who ate lunch with Zhao Yi in the same canteen. They harbored a deep-seated fear of Zhao Yi and naturally dared not try to snatch the quilt from his hands.

Despite the cold, Zhao Yi still sat cross-legged in a corner of the warehouse.

He lowered his head, playing with a small stone between his fingertips.

The Black Tiger Gang members in the distance were watching Zhao Yi intently, their eyes filled with impatient killing intent and mockery.

"Playing with pebbles... pathetic childishness."

Suddenly, Zhao Yi raised his head slightly.

A gaze that seemed to come from hell pierced through the gaps in his hair and fell on the Black Tiger Gang members. One of them happened to meet Zhao Yi's gaze, and a chill immediately rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

He was a serial killer in the outside world, a Class A wanted criminal.

His years of hunting experience allowed him to clearly sense that Zhao Yi's eyes... were the eyes of a hunter seeing its prey!

It's like a hungry tiger hiding in a dense forest, suddenly catching the scent of raw human flesh...

"Damn it... why does such a skinny guy have such terrifying eyes?"

The burly man from the Black Tiger Gang unconsciously looked away, feeling ashamed and angry.

He... was actually intimidated by the gaze of a weakling!

"I don't care what kind of look you have. I'm going to beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you. Trying to act tough with me?"

"I'll see just how good you are at pretending!"

That's what he was thinking.

Time ticked by, and everyone waited anxiously for the lights to go out.

After the lights go out, the guards inside the warehouse will leave, and the gate will be closed.

That will be their time for revenge!

Inside the warehouse, the other criminals, seeing so many members of the Black Tiger Gang enter, seemed to know what terrible things were about to happen, and remained silent, keeping their distance.

"Achoo!"

Someone couldn't help but sneeze, shivering as they squeezed together with the person next to them. The person next to them didn't mind the smell and accepted it without complaint.

It smells bad... but it's better than being cold.

The temperature in the center of the warehouse was already close to minus four or five degrees Celsius, and it was even colder at the edges.

Even the burly men of the Black Tiger Gang began to slowly move towards the center.

Zhao Yi remained seated cross-legged on the edge, still clutching the quilt, his face expressionless.

He stopped playing with pebbles and instead tucked his hands under the quilt, his head slightly lowered, as if he were sleeping.

As for Bamboo Pole, he dared not run around and could only stay in crowded places, carefully and vigilantly watching the Black Tiger Gang members.

She knew that with Zhao Yi around, she wouldn't become a primary target for the Black Tiger Gang.

But the other side has a large number of people and is powerful. Even if Zhao Yi has superb fighting skills, it would be difficult for him to fight dozens of super strong men by hand in such a dark environment after the lights are turned off.

If Zhao Yi dies, she'll be in big trouble!

Thinking of this, Bamboo Pole quietly reached into his pocket and touched the piece of metal.

Excitement flashed in her eyes as she licked her lips.

His once ordinary face began to display an increasingly eerie smile...

Snapped!

The soldier at the gate knocked on a button on the gate, and a green light swept over the crowd.

The number of criminals has been confirmed.

It's time for a break.

[Please leave and lock the doors.]

Lights out countdown... 10... 9... 8...

Zi—

As the countdown ended, a hissing sound came from the doorway, and the lights inside the warehouse went out instantly!

The sudden darkness was unsettling for everyone.

The entire cold warehouse was suddenly left with only the dim light provided by the red indicator light at the entrance.

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out, and the members of the Black Tiger Gang began to move in unison. Most of them surrounded Zhao Yi, while three of them went to find the girl with the bamboo pole!

clang!

A sudden, loud noise startled everyone in the warehouse!

By the barely perceptible red light, they saw Zhao Yi in the corner suddenly stand up and frantically smash the wall with something in his hand!

stab-

After smashing it twice, he started grinding it again, the piercing, sharp sound making everyone in the warehouse feel their teeth ache!

One of the Black Tiger Gang members, seeing Zhao Yi's appearance, suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahaha!"

"Look at that guy... he's scared!"

"Haha, is this guy scared out of his wits? Trying to break down the wall and escape?"

"Don't waste your energy! You dared to mess with the Black Tiger Gang, you should have known this would be your fate!"

The imposing black figures of dozens of burly men in the darkness were extremely oppressive. They didn't rush towards Zhao Yi, but stood there like cats playing with a mouse, watching the mouse's reaction.

Since the warehouse is already locked, Zhao Yi can't escape.

stab-

stab-

stab-

Zhao Yi ignored the Black Tiger Gang members' mockery and continued grinding something on his mind.

Even the three people who went to find the bamboo pole couldn't help but stop and turn around to look at Zhao Yi.

Soon, Zhao Yi stopped what he was doing.

He tore off a corner of the quilt and wrapped it around his hand.

Then, Zhao Yi picked up something, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and strode towards the dozens of Black Tiger Gang members!
