Because Lin Yan was worried that the man might have an accomplice, he asked me to control the drone and fly to the upper floors to investigate the situation.

Jia Yang said that when he went upstairs just now, there were signs of being ransacked at home. It seems that the man intended to search for supplies floor by floor, but he didn't expect to stumble upon us when he reached here.

According to what Jia Yang said at the time, this man is not a resident of the 25th floor, so he could only have come down from the rooftop garden. I controlled the drone straight to the top floor, but there was nothing there except withered plants and no traces.

We exchanged glances, all with a hint of doubt in our eyes.

"Let's go into the 25th-floor apartment and take a look," Lin Yan said. "It has been raining heavily these days. Besides an indoor greenhouse, there is no place on the top floor to take shelter from the rain. Plus, it has been cold these days. If he were in the greenhouse or the hallway, he would have frozen to death. I guess he probably made the 25th floor his stronghold after breaking into it."

While the drone was ascending earlier, I saw that the terrace door on the 25th floor was wide open, but I only thought that the man had broken in and looted it. I didn't expect this additional layer that Lin Yan mentioned.

So, I immediately controlled the drone to enter the room through the terrace door on the 25th floor.

Just now, it was difficult to see from the outside, but after entering, I found several tools on the dining table in the room. There were ropes, several small knives, and even two handguns. There were also a few small ammunition boxes nearby, one of which was open, revealing bullets wrapped in oil paper.

"This person has quite a lot of weapons," I said with some surprise.

"No... judging by this quantity, he definitely can't use so many knives and guns alone, so he should have accomplices," Lin Yan said, furrowing his brow next to me.

"Then where are his accomplices? They can't still be in this building, right?"

"No, they shouldn't be here anymore. Otherwise, when he was shouting so loudly outside just now, his accomplices wouldn't have failed to come out and save him. Even when he came down here for the second time, they wouldn't let him be alone. After all, he had already probed our bottom, knowing that there are three of us and we have guns. How could he take such a risk alone?" Jia Yang analyzed.

Lin Yan nodded. "Let's take a look inside the rooms."

I controlled the drone and flew into the rooms, but all the doors were tightly closed. The drone couldn't enter naturally.

"Well, forget it then. I'll use the drone's mechanical arm to take down the weapons," I suggested.

Seeing the situation, they didn't want to cause any more trouble, so they nodded in agreement. I controlled the drone's mechanical arm and moved the weapons on the table to the open backpack beside me, preparing to leave.

However, just as I was about to control the drone to fly to the terrace, I noticed a pair of eyes hiding behind the curtains in the corner of the terrace through the drone's footage. The eyes looked at the drone with a look of fear.

My hand controlling the drone's arm almost slipped, and I pointed at the eyes in the footage to signal Lin Yan and Jia Yang.

They were clearly surprised as well.

I calmed down and controlled the drone to fly slowly towards the corner where the eyes were, maintaining a certain distance, and stopped in front of those eyes.

The owner of those eyes slowly pulled back the curtains, and what came into our view was a trembling little girl crouching in the corner behind the curtains. She had a lot of bloodstains on her, and she stared at the drone in front of her, suddenly opening her mouth.

-"Are you a police officer sent to save me, Uncle?"-

I read this sentence from her lip movements.

Lin Yan and I looked at Jia Yang simultaneously, and Jia Yang said in surprise, "This little girl... she's the one I mentioned before, the girl who lives on the 25th floor."
