A new group was formed, and the homeowners and tenants were in a state of panic, chatting anxiously:
"Chen Zhenghao is simply a devil! He forcefully robbed three households by breaking into their homes."
"The residents of 301 on the third floor were two hot-headed young people who tried to resist, but he shot them dead."
"The other two households are 302 and 401. After being intimidated, they obediently handed over all their food and drinks."
"Sigh, in these circumstances, without food and drinks at home, we are practically waiting to die."
Someone spoke with righteous indignation, "We must unite and stand together to confront this bully, Chen Zhenghao!"
Immediately, there were responses from others:
"That's right! With so many households, are we still afraid of just five or six of them?"
"As long as we stand united, he won't be a threat!"
However, someone mentioned, "But he has a gun!"
"Hmph, so what if he has money? How many bullets can one gun hold?"
"That's right! If we all rush at him, he won't be able to stop us!"
"I'll use a left kick and then a right roundhouse kick, and he won't be able to get up!"
"Now that he's injured, he's not worth mentioning. If he didn't have a gun, he'd be no match for me!"
Everyone was filled with fiery determination to confront Chen Zhenghao, as if they wanted to storm into his house right away and execute him on the spot!
However, someone interjected at this moment, "When should we take action?"
This statement caused a brief silence.
It was easy to talk tough, but when it came to actually risking their lives, everyone hesitated.
They all understood the reasoning, but no one wanted to be the one at the forefront, facing the bullets.
They talked a big game, but in reality, they wanted others to take the bullets for them.
"Well, this won't be a problem; we will surely be able to deal with him!"
"However, he's a desperate thug, and he has a few henchmen. We need to plan carefully."
"Yes, reckless actions are for fools; we should win with wisdom!"
Zhang Yi rolled his eyes.
Just a moment ago, they were claiming that Chen Zhenghao was nothing to fear, and some even wanted to use kicks and punches against him.
But now that it was time for action, they started talking about winning with wisdom?
He couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, the community security guard, Uncle You, suddenly spoke up, "We can't let Chen Zhenghao continue like this. If things go on like this, we will all end up dead."
"Even if we aren't shot dead, if he robs us of all our food and drinks, isn't that just as bad?"
"I can take the lead; you all can follow me and teach these bastards a lesson!"
Uncle You was a man of few words in his daily life.
He was a veteran, straightforward, and full of passion, earning the respect of everyone in the community.
Facing despicable villains like Chen Zhenghao, who treated human lives as expendable, he was filled with anger.
"Wow, Uncle You is mighty! No wonder he's an army veteran, impressive!"
"Uncle You, I support you! Do you need weapons? I can lend you my kitchen knife."
"I also have a Longquan sword I bought during a trip last year; you can borrow it!"
"Chen Zhenghao is just a cripple now. Uncle You, if you attack him from behind, he won't stand a chance."
...
Everyone praised Uncle You, offering their suggestions and support.
But not a single person said they would go with Uncle You to confront Chen Zhenghao.
Uncle You also felt a bit exasperated, "Chen Zhenghao has five or six people, and they have guns. I can't go alone."
"At the very least, we need a dozen young men to go with me for safety."
"I've been a soldier, so I still have some skills and can lead."
The male homeowners with adult males in their families fell silent.
On the other hand, the female homeowners like Fang Yuqing, who didn't have adult males in their households, became as excited as if they were pumped with chicken blood.
"Yes, we women are weak and can't deal with these villains. The men in Building 25 must now show their manly courage!"
"Our men in the building are all remarkable and must succeed!"
"Now is the time to demonstrate your chivalry. We hope you'll be successful and protect us delicate women."
The adult male homeowners were naturally unhappy.
Some of them were still single, living alone, or sharing a place with friends.
Asking them to risk their lives to confront the thugs was something they could consider, but when they saw the attitude of the female homeowners, they felt like they were being taken advantage of.
"Why not! You always talk about gender equality, but now that there's danger, you want us to be the ones to go first. Why should we?"
"Now that we treat you fairly, we should all go together."
"You're so skilled in boxing online, why don't you go and fight Chen Zhenghao yourself?"
"I'm not saying I wouldn't risk my life, but I would only protect my wife and children."
...
Seeing that the men were unwilling to confront Chen Zhenghao, the female homeowners began to curse.
"Are you even men? Isn't this the time for you to step up as men?"
"Making women take risks, how shameless!"
"You guys are pathetic! Disgusting! I won't marry someone like you in the future!"
...
The new homeowners' group, which was initially formed to discuss how to deal with the risks brought by Chen Zhenghao, inexplicably turned into a heated debate about who should confront him, leading to a gender confrontation.
Zhang Yi was also feeling quite speechless.
The situation was exactly the same as in his previous life.
This was also the reason why, in his past life, Chen Zhenghao killed half of the residents in the building and still managed to control everyone with just one gun.
When they were dying, they only closed their eyes, not daring to resist even a bit.
Seeing the situation, Uncle You anxiously appealed in the group, "Stop arguing, dealing with Chen Zhenghao is the most critical issue now."
There was a female homeowner living on the seventh floor named Liu Tiantian.
She was the main instigator of the gender dispute, a 22-year-old recent college graduate.
At this moment, whenever she saw a male member speak up, she would instantly start typing furiously.
"Uncle You, why are you pretending to be a good person! You were in the army and should be the first to charge in such situations!"
"We have so many men in the building; you should exchange one for one with them so that others can be safe!"
"Nowadays, in society, it's clear that women are more important. Your only role as men is to serve us women."
"I hope all the men in this group remember this; don't make me say it again!"
