After much hesitation and inner struggle, Zhou Keer finally mustered the courage to agree with Zhang Yi's plan. Her strong sense of morals and conscience simply couldn't allow her to become a despicable person, and that's why she decided to stand on the side of righteousness and help Zhang Yi.
However, what troubled Zhou Keer even more was her neighbors' malicious intent to rob Zhang Yi out of sheer jealousy. To her, this choice was not only worse but utterly despicable. It further fueled her resolve to aid Zhang Yi in this time of need.
When Zhang Yi responded to her agreement, he did so with a mix of caution and skepticism. "Well then, I want to see your useful information first before I give you what you want. Next, it can depend on your performance," he said, subtly testing the sincerity of Zhou Keer's offer to help.
In response, Zhou Keer calmly replied, "Well, I understand." Deep down, she knew she couldn't expect Zhang Yi to lend a hand unconditionally. After all, everyone was out for their own survival in these trying times, and it would be naive to expect otherwise.
With that, their conversation came to a close, leaving Zhou Keer to ponder the upcoming events. As she observed the large group chat with 99+ messages, she felt a surge of emotions. The neighbors were relentlessly trying to intimidate and emotionally manipulate Zhang Yi into handing over his supplies.
"Zhang Yi, where did you people go? Quickly answer whether you're handing over the supplies or not!" one impatient voice demanded, echoing the sentiments of many others in the group.
Zhang Yi's response was a defiant and provocative smile as he retorted, "Go eat shit!" His fearless reply unleashed a torrent of curses and nasty remarks from the group, but Zhang Yi remained unperturbed. He had already faced life-and-death situations, and the guilt of killing no longer weighed on his conscience.
The situation escalated further as threats of dire consequences were hurled at Zhang Yi. "Well, well, well, Zhang Yi, you asked for it! But don't ever say that the big guys didn't give you a chance, you selfish scumbag! From now on, you will have to bear the consequences of everything that happens!" they warned.
Zhang Yi was well aware of their intentions as they formed a separate group chat, just like they had done with Chen Zhenghao before. It was evident that they were jointly plotting how to forcefully attack his home and seize his supplies.
In the face of imminent danger, Zhang Yi took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. While he was confident in his home's impregnable defenses, the thought of confronting hundreds of people still stirred a trace of fear within him. However, the excitement of facing those who had betrayed him fueled the hot blood flowing through his veins.
Zhang Yi's living room was now a display of weaponry, a testament to his determination and readiness to defend his home. From fine steel crossbows and advanced compound bows to an arsenal of arrows and various lethal tools, he had meticulously prepared himself for any assault.
Among his weapons were anti-wolf sprays, electric batons, petrol, and a plethora of chemical reagents. Additionally, rows of incendiary flasks stood as a testament to his ingenuity and resourcefulness.
Undeterred by the hostility and threats, Zhang Yi defiantly declared, "Feel free to let your horses come over as many people as you have!" His resolve was unwavering as he braced himself for the upcoming showdown.
As predicted, the neighbors grew even more enraged upon realizing that Zhang Yi wouldn't surrender his supplies. In response, Sun Zhichao took charge, building a new group chat that included all the living homeowners except Zhang Yi. Even Chen Zhenghao was part of this alliance.
Chen Zhenghao, having experienced defeat before, addressed the crowd, "Everyone, right now, our primary objective is to deal with Zhang Yi. I'm afraid their family has more supplies than all of us combined! As long as we defeat him, we can obtain a large amount of supplies. So you guys don't have to worry, I won't make a move against anyone else right now. But for this operation, I want half of the supplies obtained!" Chen Zhenghao's cunning plan involved utilizing the strength in numbers to overpower Zhang Yi's formidable defenses.
Though some may have initially questioned Chen Zhenghao's intention to claim half of the supplies, they soon saw his offer as an act of fairness. After all, he could have easily taken the supplies for himself but instead chose to share them with the group. Such selflessness earned him respect among the crowd.
Sun Zhichao further emphasized the mission's primary goal: attacking Zhang Yi's house and reclaiming the supplies that rightfully belonged to the collective. The burning jealousy in their eyes as they saw the state of Zhang Yi's family only heightened their determination to eliminate him and seize his resources.
Amidst the frenzy, Zhou Keer's mind raced with conflicting thoughts. She couldn't help but wonder where Zhang Yi's confidence came from, facing more than a hundred people on his own. The odds were overwhelmingly against him, and the potential consequences dire. Was he brave, or perhaps just a madman?
Nevertheless, Zhou Keer respected Zhang Yi's decision and heeded his warning not to join the attacking group. She understood that, in such challenging times, one must hold on to their moral principles. As the chaotic events unfolded, she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Zhang Yi's determination and resilience in the face of adversity.
As she sat on her sofa, she couldn't help but frown, pondering if there was any way to ease the tension and find a peaceful resolution. However, knowing Zhang Yi's unwavering spirit, she understood that he had made his choice, and there was little she could do to alter his path.
For now, all she could do was wait and hope for the best. The situation was tense, but she prayed that Zhang Yi's courage and ingenuity would see him through this dangerous ordeal. Whether he succeeded or not, one thing was certain: Zhou Keer would stand by her principles and never compromise her moral compass, even in the face of desperation.
