Holding a hatchet, Tang Xiaoquan was situated on the left, while Wang Qiang, armed with a hand crossbow, guarded the right side as they both slowly proceeded towards the inner door.
Wang Qiang stared intently through the scope, ready to pull the trigger without hesitation at the sight of anything non-human in its view.
Tang Xiaoquan glanced back to confirm the action sequence with Wang Qiang, who nodded knowingly to signal him to proceed.
After taking a deep breath and calming his nerves, Tang Xiaoquan raised three fingers and silently counted down in his heart: "Three, two, one!"
As soon as the middle finger dropped, Tang Xiaoquan swiftly lifted the door curtain and darted out, with Wang Qiang quickly following suit.
Upon bursting out, they immediately scanned the surroundings to assess the situation.
Judging by the layout, this should be the living room, as no one would place a large table and several chairs in a bedroom.
