Chapter 165 Dead End
Near the abandoned factory that Brother Hu mentioned, Li Qing and Yang Qian approached quietly.

Under the cover of night, the factory looks even more eerie and deserted.

They lurked cautiously, ready to face possible danger.

Li Qing clenched his fists tightly, frowned slightly, and looked around vigilantly.

Yang Qian was trembling with fear, looking nervously at every corner in the darkness.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, bringing a hint of coldness.

Yang Qian shuddered, and she felt that the atmosphere around her seemed to become more tense.

"Do you think there's anything wrong here?" Yang Qian asked in a low voice.

Li Qing stared ahead with a serious expression.

"That should be correct. The abandoned factory Brother Hu mentioned is just ahead."

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded.

Li Qing and Yang Qian's mood suddenly became heavy. They understood that things might not be simple.

Yang Qian couldn't help but tightly grasp Li Qing's hand, her voice trembling slightly: "Li Qing, what should we do?"

Li Qing took a deep breath, his eyes determined: "We can only bite the bullet and do it.

Whatever happens, we have to keep going.”

The two nodded in understanding and walked forward quietly.

As they got closer to the factory, the tension in their hearts grew stronger.

Just when they were about to reach their destination, suddenly, a group of people emerged from the darkness and surrounded them.

"Li Qing, little girl, you are so naive."

A cold voice sounded, it was Brother Hu.

Li Qing and Yang Qian immediately became alert. They looked around and found themselves surrounded.

"Brother Hu, what do you want to do?" Li Qing's voice was cold and his eyes were firm.

Brother Tiger smiled grimly: "I want to tell you that you have fallen into my trap."

Li Qing frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Haha, I had expected you to come looking for me, so I tricked you here and set up an ambush."

Brother Tiger laughed triumphantly: "Now, you have no chance of escaping."

Li Qing and Yang Qian's hearts sank, they knew they were in an extremely dangerous situation.

"Brother Hu, there is no hatred between us, why do you treat us like this?" Yang Qian tried to calm the atmosphere.

"Hate? Haha, girl, you're so naive."

Brother Hu sneered: “Everything I do is for my own benefit.

Now, just give your life to me."

"Li Qing, do you think I will let you go?" Brother Hu's voice was full of sarcasm: "You are so naive."

Li Qing's face was solemn. He knew that the current situation was very critical.

"Brother Tiger, what do you want?"

Brother Hu sneered: "What I want is very simple, just your lives."

"Don't dream!" Li Qing shouted angrily, "We won't surrender!"

Brother Hu's smile became even more ferocious: "Really? Then let me see what you can do."

Following his orders, the crowd in black rushed towards Li Qing and Yang Qian, and a fierce battle began.

Li Qing and Yang Qian did not retreat at all. They cooperated tacitly and fought against the attacking enemies.

Amid the flash of swords and the shadow of sabers, the battle became extremely fierce.

Li Qing and Yang Qian fought hard, their figures dancing nimbly in the dark, showing their superb martial arts skills.

"Yang Qian, be careful!" Li Qing shouted loudly, dodging the enemy's attacks while protecting Yang Qian.

Yang Qian held the weapon tightly in her hand, with a firm expression on her face: "I know! You should be careful too!"

They cooperated with each other and had extraordinary tacit understanding. Despite the large number of enemies, they never showed any intention of retreating.

Brother Hu stood aside, watching the fierce battle coldly. Although his men seemed numerous, they were still unable to gain a decisive advantage.

"Come on, don't be polite!" Brother Hu ordered coldly.

The black-clad crowd once again launched a fierce attack on Li Qing and Yang Qian, and the scene became intense.

Although Li Qing and Yang Qian were agile, they were gradually feeling tired.

Li Qing and Yang Qian faced Brother Hu's men with frowns on their faces, their hearts filled with tension and anxiety.

They understand that they must now go all out, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"Li Qing, be careful!" Yang Qian shouted loudly, waving the weapon in her hand to fight against the enemies around her.

Li Qing's eyes were deep. He concentrated on dealing with the attacks from all around him, and displayed his superb martial arts skills with his punches and kicks.

He fought fast with fast and broke the momentum with force, knocking down Brother Tiger's men who rushed over from all around one by one.

"Yang Qian, hurry up, let's retreat first!" Li Qing shouted. He found that the situation was already very unfavorable and they had to get out of this danger as soon as possible.

Yang Qian nodded, and the two of them tacitly opened a gap and fled towards the outside of the factory.

Brother Hu's men chased after them, but Li Qing and Yang Qian managed to shake off the pursuers with their agility.

After running for a distance, Li Qing and Yang Qian stopped, breathing heavily and looking at each other.

“I almost lost my life this time.”

Yang Qian's voice trembled slightly.

Li Qing took a deep breath and felt extremely tired: "Let's retreat first and have a good rest first."

Li Qing and Yang Qian hurriedly left the abandoned factory. They walked through the streets under the cover of night, feeling heavy and tired.

"Li Qing, what should we do next?" Yang Qian's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety. She looked at Li Qing, expecting his answer.

Li Qing pondered for a moment, and then decided: "Let's find a place to hide first, and then discuss the next plan."

The two quickly crossed the street and came to a quiet alley.

They found an abandoned warehouse and decided to hide there temporarily.

Yang Qian looked around to make sure no one noticed them, then opened the door of the warehouse and the two of them quietly entered.

The interior of the warehouse was dark and deserted, with dusty goods piled in a mess.

Li Qing and Yang Qian found a corner and sat down.

"We should first figure out why Brother Tiger set up an ambush and what he wants to do."

Li Qing said thoughtfully.

Yang Qian nodded in agreement: “That’s right, Brother Hu won’t come to trouble us for no reason.

We must find out his motives.”

The two thought silently, trying to analyze the cause and effect.

They knew very well that they had to be fully prepared when facing a cunning opponent like Brother Tiger.

"Maybe we should find Brother Tiger's weakness."

Yang Qian suggested: "If we can get hold of something on him, maybe we can gain some leverage."

Li Qing nodded in agreement: "Let's go back and rest first, and then discuss countermeasures tomorrow."

The two decided to rest in the warehouse first before taking action.

They knew that facing an opponent like Brother Tiger, they must have a clear plan to be able to deal with the next challenges.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the hole in the warehouse and shone on Li Qing and Yang Qian.

The two woke up leisurely and prepared for today's action.

"We need to investigate Brother Tiger's background first to see if there is any information we can use."

Li Qing suggested. Yang Qian nodded: "I know some news about Brother Tiger. He is the boss of the Tiger Society and controls the black market trade in this area."

"This is a clue. We can start from here."

Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "If we can understand his background and sphere of influence, we may be able to find his weaknesses."

Yang Qian took out her cell phone and started looking for Brother Hu's information.

She used her network of connections and quickly found some valuable information.

“Look here, Brother Hu’s real name is Li Qiang. He used to be a small thug, but later he relied on his domineering power to control this area step by step.”

Yang Qian said, pointing at the message on the phone screen.

Li Qing frowned: "If he is such a person, then we must act carefully and not take it lightly."

"That's right, we can't let him scheme against us anymore."

Yang Qian said solemnly.

The two discussed the next plan and decided to go to the Tiger Society's headquarters first to try to obtain more useful information.

They knew that this task was not easy, but it was the only way to find Brother Hu's weakness and rely on him.

Leaving the abandoned warehouse, Li Qing and Yang Qian began their action.

They were full of confidence and determined to resolve the crisis and win a chance of survival.

Li Qing and Yang Qian hurriedly crossed the busy streets and arrived at the headquarters of the Tiger Society.

"It looks like this place is not easy to enter."

Yang Qian said with a frown.

Li Qing took a deep breath and said firmly: "We don't need to go in. We just need to observe the surroundings and get some information."

The two men quietly hid behind a nearby building and began to observe the situation at the Tiger Society headquarters.

They found that there was a constant stream of people coming and going here, most of them wearing black clothes, with fierce expressions, giving people a feeling of inviolability.

"There are a lot of people here, how do we start?" Yang Qian asked in a low voice.

Li Qing pondered for a moment, then said: "We can try to find some members of the society first and get some information from them."

Yang Qian nodded in agreement.

"Then let's get started now."

They began searching around, trying to find some members of the society.

After some effort, they finally found some gang thugs in a nearby bar.

Li Qing and Yang Qian decided to approach these thugs first and try to get some useful information.

They hurried into the bar, scanning the crowd, looking for their target.

In the bar, Li Qing and Yang Qian found a few men with fierce looks. They were sitting in the corner, making loud noises and smoking.

Li Qing and Yang Qian exchanged glances silently, then walked towards those people.

"My dear brothers."

Li Qing greeted.

Several people raised their heads, their eyes fell on Li Qing and Yang Qian, their expressions slightly alert.

"What's the matter?" a guy with a hedgehog hair asked in a hoarse voice.

Yang Qian smiled slightly, deliberately approached the guy, and said in a charming voice: "We want to know something about the Tiger Society, can you tell us something."

The guy frowned, obviously a little unhappy with their sudden appearance.

"Who are you? Why are you asking these questions?" There was a hint of hostility in his tone.

Li Qing raised his eyebrows, he sensed the other party's impatience.

"We are just curious and want to know more."

He tried to lighten the mood.

Several people looked at each other, as if they were hesitating whether to tell them.

"You know, this is not something you can say casually."

A guy in a leather jacket said, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Yang Qian smiled. She knew that in order to continue, she would need some means.

"We can give you some benefits as long as you are willing to help us."

When several people heard this, a gleam of greed flashed in their eyes.

"Benefits? What benefits are you talking about?" asked the hedgehog-headed guy.

Li Qing and Yang Qian exchanged glances and decided to tell these people their plan.

"We have a deal and need some information about the Tiger Society."

Li Qing said: "As long as you are willing to help us, we will give you enough compensation."

When several people heard that there would be a reward, their expressions immediately brightened.

They began to discuss the compensation they wanted and also gradually revealed some information about the Tiger Society.

Li Qing and Yang Qian listened carefully, and in the process they learned a lot of information about the Tiger Society.

The men gradually relaxed and began to talk openly.

"Brother Tiger is a great man. He controls the underworld in this area."

A young man with short hair said this with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, Brother Tiger's power is growing, and now almost all the local tyrants obey his orders."

Another person continued.

Yang Qian keenly sensed something was wrong. She knew that their identities had been exposed and they had to leave here as soon as possible.

"We have to go."

Yang Qian whispered to Li Qing.

Li Qing nodded, and without saying anything more, they quickly got up and left the bar.

However, just as they turned around to leave, a group of people suddenly appeared at the door, blocking their way.

"Isn't this Li Qing?" A tall man stood in front of them, with a sneer on his face: "Do you think you can leave here easily?"

Li Qing frowned. He didn't expect things to become so urgent.

"We don't want to have any dispute with you, we are just passing by."

"Passing by? Haha, are you trying to escape?" The tall man sneered, "Do you know that the current situation is a dead end for you?"

Yang Qian held Li Qing's hand tightly, her heart filled with anxiety.

"Li Qing, what should we do?" she asked in a low voice.

Li Qing pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"We can only bite the bullet and do it."

“No matter what happens, we must persevere,” he said firmly.

Yang Qian nodded. She also knew that there was no way out now.

Ok?
Li Qing was suddenly stunned. The sudden voice in his mind made his thoughts go back to the time when he first arrived in this plane.

The strange yet familiar system appeared in Li Qing's mind again.

“Non-mainstream entertainment system: Full energy.

A new entertainment dimension has been discovered. Please choose whether to enter within ten seconds.

The flow of time on this plane is temporarily suspended, and will return to normal after the host returns to this plane."

Since we are facing such a dead end, we might as well go to another dimension to look for new life.

Li Qing undoubtedly chose:
