It’s impossible to let the tiger return to the mountain. Not in this lifetime.

Waldo could never be ignorant of the fact that once the police force returned to the central area to recuperate for a while, they would undoubtedly become restless again, seeking revenge for both past and present grievances.

At that time, if he had bad luck and failed to acquire other high-level supplies to defend against them, he could be truly done for.

It was also because of this realization that Waldo decided not to let the police force off the hook. He made up his mind to set out and pursue them now.

Alanna looked at Waldo and said, "I’ll go with you."

No one knew if the police force still had any other trump cards. At least she had the "Healing" skill and an UMP9 submachine gun. If she chased after Waldo, it would provide significant assistance.

Alanna naturally assumed that Waldo would take her along with him on the pursuit. However, in the end, Waldo left alone. Although they won this battle, it was not without its toll. There might still be people trying to take advantage of the situation, so they needed to leave someone behind to protect the home.

The other survivors in the villa complex initially dared not show themselves. They finally waited until the battle between the police force and 10086 ended before cautiously peeking out from the villa balcony.

One survivor, drenched in sweat, wiped off the large beads of sweat on his forehead and said with lingering fear, "I’m telling you, those people were absolutely vicious. The streets of the neighborhood were full of casings and craters!"

His companion glanced at him and said, "Don’t look at those casings, look at the smoke over there."

The survivor followed his companion’s pointing finger and looked towards the place where the helicopter had crashed. It was still emitting smoke, a scene of devastation.

Fortunately, it crashed in a bare grassland outside the forest, avoiding causing a forest fire.

"Is that the police force’s helicopter? Before the fight started, I saw two submachine guns on it. They were always targeting 10086, and they were so aggressive. I didn’t expect it to crash!"

He was dumbfounded. He never thought that such an expensive helicopter would crash like this.

His companion echoed, "Yeah, who would have thought that 10086 could make the police force helpless? They came attacking with great fanfare, but in the end, they had to leave, defeated. 10086 is indeed remarkable."

Waldo’s reputation had always been quite loud. Most people had heard about his lone-wolf actions, but those were all from the early days. At that time, everyone’s supplies were scarce, and survival was extremely difficult. Compared to others, 10086 was lucky to possess better thermal weapons.

That was information obtained later.

Relying on their weapon advantage, they could overpower some small teams, but there was nothing remarkable about that. It was just a group of survivors struggling to survive. Now, with larger teams, who couldn’t overpower them?

So, many people still looked down on 10086, much like how they regarded the internet celebrities of the old world. They couldn’t do anything except for self-promotion.

Later, 10086 actually stole platinum-level supplies from the police force, Saturn, and the Drug Lord’s three major teams, and left unscathed.

This action made many survivors sit up and take notice. After all, they themselves would never have been able to achieve such a feat no matter how hard they tried.

However, most people still believed that 10086 was just lucky. After all, the siege that happened after the police force incident was not made public. The police members who knew the truth were strictly prohibited from talking and were under strict confidentiality orders.

So, the survivors in the villa complex were very surprised by 10086’s performance today. There were actually people who dared to take advantage of the situation.

In another villa, some survivors saw Waldo leave and their thieving hearts began to stir. They quietly plotted but ended up having loud discussions inside their own refuge.

"10086 is out, and there are only two women left at home. Ah, they are two beautiful ladies, and there must be supplies!"

"Damn, did you not see how those two women were firing at the ground forces of the police just now? They’re like tigresses with thorns, do you dare to mess with them? And there’s that defense shield!"

"Heh, after fighting for so long, how much ammo could they have left? They’re probably at their last straw, with no power to resist. Now is a rare opportunity for us to take advantage!"

"That makes sense."

This group of survivors analyzed the situation and finally concluded that 10086’s decision to leave and leave only two companions was a grave mistake. They were going to take advantage of the situation.

Alanna wasn’t unhappy about Waldo asking her to stay at home. It had its reasons. She and Helen were responsible for quickly recharging the energy shield and replenishing the Gatling gun’s ammunition.

In the recent ground defense battle, the Gatling gun had played a significant role, suppressing the enemy and leaving them unable to lift their heads. However, it consumed ammunition quickly and required reloading. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Suddenly, at this moment, the energy shield came under attack.

"Is it the police force coming back?!"

They hurried to the window to check the situation outside. However, it turned out to be a group of survivors throwing grenades at the energy shield.

Helen’s lips curved slightly, and she said with a smirk, "Alanna, do you want to deal with these fools?"

Clearly, these people had seen them fiercely fighting the police force and wanted to give it a try.

However, Alanna took a glance but couldn’t muster any interest. "Why dirty our hands when the automated defense system can handle it?"

She then turned away from the window.

The survivors outside the villa were exhilarated when they saw Alanna and Helen. "Damn, they look even better up close!"

But just then, the automated defense system activated. The Gatling gun switched to automatic mode and aimed at the invaders.

Da-da-da!

The outcome was predictable.

At the same time, Waldo, who had left, was gradually catching up with Sheriff and his group in their off-road vehicle. Everyone was still filled with anger.

Scorpion looked at the annoyed Sheriff and said, "Boss, this time we just didn’t gather enough intelligence, and that’s why things went south. It’s not that big of a deal. Besides, we did pose a significant threat to 10086 and almost killed him."

Sheriff glanced at Scorpion with a cold snort. "Do you need to say this? Do you think I don’t know?"

"But he had that platinum-level defense device, the turtle shell, which kept us out! We lost a lot of brothers, wasted a large amount of combat supplies, and still couldn’t do anything to him!"

Scorpion broke out in a cold sweat. But he quickly continued, "Boss, you are mistaken. This time, we indeed suffered a defeat, but we didn’t lose. On the contrary, we figured out 10086’s details. As long as we go back to rest and recuperate, and you lead us to develop the old city area, gather supplies, we can easily take on 10086 again then!"
