In Building 25, Chen Zhenghao and his gang continuously robbed several households, directly or indirectly causing the deaths of five people. This situation led many residents in the building to unite.
Their solution to the problem was to stick together and live in the same place. They blocked the doors with heavy objects to prevent Chen Zhenghao and his gang from breaking in. As for water supply, they used a method involving fetching water from outside the window.
Some of the residents on certain floors had balconies, which also collected the falling snow. On the other hand, Fang Yuqing and her group stayed together on the 18th floor in Wang Min's home.
Wang Min was Zhou Peng's cousin and ran a cosmetics business in Tianhai City, making her an independent and strong woman. Therefore, she had some assets and owned a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with the same layout as Zhang Yi's.
The other people living with them were her colleagues from the company and some close friends. In the post-apocalyptic world, even when staying together, they could only trust those they knew well.
Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining were allowed to join because Zhou Peng vouched for them. As for the "guarantee," it was related to Zhang Yi's situation.
At this moment, a group of people sat in the living room, wrapped in thick down jackets and scarves, trying to cover themselves entirely. Since Zhang Yi refused the proposal to live together, everyone's mood was not very good.
Wang Min looked at Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining and said calmly, "I agreed to let you two stay here before because of my cousin's face, and you also promised to convince Zhang Yi to let us live in his place."
"But now Zhang Yi is totally against it. What do you think we should do about this?"
Zhou Peng might be a bootlicker, but Wang Min was a shrewd person. She could tell that these two girls were not easy to deal with, and if they didn't bring up Zhang Yi, Wang Min wouldn't have allowed them to join.
Fang Yuqing hurriedly said, "Sister Wang, listen to me. Zhang Yi's place is really well-stocked, and he has a fireplace!"
"As long as we can move into his place, life will be much easier in the future."
After being rejected by Zhang Yi several times, Fang Yuqing no longer had any illusions about him. So, she spilled all the information about Zhang Yi's place, including the photos and videos he sent to them.
Lin Caining also added, "That's right, you've all seen the videos. You should understand how comfortable Zhang Yi's place is now."
"If we all work together and move into his place, we can not only fight against Chen Zhenghao but also live a comfortable life."
Upon hearing this, Wang Min and the others couldn't help but take out their phones and watch the videos Fang Yuqing forwarded to them. The videos showed the interior of Zhang Yi's place, which was quite eye-catching, making them eager to move in.
Wang Min furrowed her brows slightly and said, "But his attitude is clear. He's simply unwilling to let us move in."
At this moment, the bespectacled Sun Zhichao spoke up with a low voice, "He's too selfish, completely disregarding others' lives."
"For such a person, we don't need to be too polite. I suggest that since he's alone in his place, we use some special methods!"
After Sun Zhichao said this, everyone turned their attention to him. It was obvious that they understood his suggestion—to break into Zhang Yi's place and force him to give up the house.
His friend Lu Tao also chimed in loudly, "I think it's a good idea! Such a selfish person, only thinking about himself and not considering others, why does he deserve to live in such a good place?"
Wang Min frowned slightly, "But according to Zhou Peng, their anti-theft door is very sturdy. We're not like Chen Zhenghao and his gang, we're not good at this!"
Zhou Peng also said, "Yes, and Zhang Yi is particularly despicable. Last time we knocked on his door, he actually peed on us from above!"
Recalling that incident, Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining felt a surge of nausea, almost throwing up.
Until now, the smell of Zhang Yi's urine still lingered on their hair and skin. If it weren't for their stuffy noses due to the cold, the smell would have overwhelmed them.
Sun Zhichao raised his glasses and sneered, "This is actually easy. As long as we wrap ourselves tightly, wear masks, and hold umbrellas, he won't be able to do anything to us."
"As for breaking the door, heh heh!"
He looked at Lu Tao beside him.
Lu Tao cleared his throat and said, "I used to work for a lock company. I'm very familiar with this kind of thing. I can open various common locks on the market!"
Hearing Lu Tao's words, Fang Yuqing and the others got excited and almost jumped up.
"That's great! As long as we can open his anti-theft door, we can all rush in together. Let's see how Zhang Yi, that bastard, can resist!"
Fang Yuqing gritted her teeth in hatred.
She had begged Zhang Yi, but he still refused to let her in and even subjected her to various humiliations, causing her to hate him to the core.
"When we get in, I will definitely dunk his head in the toilet and make him eat big mouthfuls!"
Zhou Peng, the bootlicker, came over, still obsequious, and said, "I'll take care of that!"
Zhou Peng's crudeness made Fang Yuqing dislike him, but she still needed Zhou Peng at the moment, so she smiled and said, "Sure, sure, then you should eat more beans and onions."
The group of people laughed together.
They clearly believed that with so many of them working together, Zhang Yi would not be able to resist, no matter what defenses he had.
So, they found some umbrellas, wrapped themselves up tightly, and armed themselves with tools to break the door. They then walked toward Zhang Yi's place.
Zhang Yi had installed an alarm system in his home. As soon as there was any movement on his floor, it would trigger the alarm. Seeing this group of people approaching, he immediately knew something was up.
Through the surveillance cameras, he saw them, but since they were completely wrapped up, Zhang Yi thought it was Chen Zhenghao and his gang coming back for revenge.
"Perfect timing. Last time, I didn't manage to kill you, but giving you a lesson now wouldn't hurt."
Zhang Yi sneered.
However, he still didn't plan to kill Chen Zhenghao at this time. If Chen Zhenghao died, who would clean up the mess with those annoying neighbors in the building?
Without them, there would be no fun to watch.
This group of people was wrapped up so tightly that when they arrived near Zhang Yi's place, they immediately opened the umbrellas.
Now, Zhang Yi couldn't spray water or release stink bombs to drive them away in a short time.
All of this information was provided by Fang Yuqing. She naively believed that although Zhang Yi's place
might be well-defended, the resources in a single room were limited.
Water spraying and stink bombs were Zhang Yi's last resorts.
