By the time Yao Ran and Long Yu reached the outer district, the rioters had already broken into the villas.
The low wooden fences were no match for the rioters. They kicked them down or climbed over, breaking doors and looting supplies.
Terrified villa owners and their families hid in underground cellars, praying they wouldn't be found. But not all prayers were answered. While a few managed to escape, others were discovered, beaten to death, or subjected to unspeakable horrors.
Surveying the situation for a moment, Yao Ran pointed to a villa and said, "A Yu, take me up there."
"Alright," Long Yu said, wrapping his arms around her waist and controlling the wind to fly to the villa roof.
Landing lightly on the roof, Long Yu supported her as she prepared her sniper rifle. Given the overwhelming number of rioters, Yao Ran opted to engage from long range.
After setting up the sniper rifle, she chose her position and loaded a bullet. Through the scope, she spotted a man dragging a teenage girl into the bushes and starting to undress her. Yao Ran's eyes turned icy at this sight. She aimed at his groin and pulled the trigger.
Psyiu~
"Ahhh!"
The man's scream echoed as he collapsed to the ground, clutching his crotch. Blood seeped from his lower body as his body trembled in pain. Seeing this scene, the girl quickly gathered her clothes and fled.
Once the girl was safe, Yao Ran aimed at the man's forehead and fired again, ending his life. While Yao Ran was sniping the rioters from the rooftop, Long Yu used his wind element energy to control the wind and fly to another area under the cover of darkness.
In less than a minute, Long Yu came to the most chaotic area. As he floated in the air, he harnessed his wind element energy to create a massive barrier around the area below, trapping over a hundred rioters at once.
By the time the rioters noticed the change in the air, it was too late. In the next few seconds, they all collapsed to the ground as the oxygen was sucked from their lungs. In mere seconds, they lay motionless on the filthy ground.
After eliminating them, Long Yu flew to another area.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Yao Ran observed the rioters through the scope of her sniper rifle.
While their actions appeared chaotic, they were surprisingly coordinated. Upon closer inspection, she realized the rioters actually came from three different groups.
The first group consisted of survivors exploiting the chaos to rob others of their supplies. The second group comprised gang members, and the third group consisted of members of The Ark.
With this new information, Yao Ran adjusted her sniper rifle and began targeting individuals with black badges on their clothing or wearing masks. The impoverished survivors from the slums were too poor to afford masks, making it easy for her to distinguish them from the others.
In the other area, Long Yu saw Xu Ruihan and his men arrive in armored vehicles while he was dealing with another group of rioters. As they began shooting at the rioters, Long Yu decided to fly back to the rooftop where Yao Ran was stationed.
