Zhang Yi sat silently at home, awaiting the arrival of his frenzied neighbors. His face displayed a serious expression, and a substantial assortment of weapons lay before him.
At that moment, he received a message from Uncle You, the doorman: "Xiao Zhang, run away! They're all coming for you with their gang."
Zhang Yi's heart warmed slightly; in this world, such genuinely good people were rare. He smiled and replied, "Uncle You, don't worry, I can handle it."
After a brief pause, Uncle You seemed to understand that there was nowhere to escape. Resistance was the only option. He apologized, "Little Zhang, I hope you can survive. I may not be able to help you this time."
Zhang Yi appreciated Uncle You's intentions. "The fact that you haven't joined them already shows your kindness. Don't worry about me," he replied calmly.
Understanding that Uncle You's choice was wise, Zhang Yi refrained from revealing the details of his home. He couldn't fully trust the others, regardless of who they were.
Soon after, Zhang Yi felt a slight tremor beneath his feet, and a "rumbling" sound echoed from outside. "They're coming," he remarked indifferently.
Knowing that hundreds of people were coming up the stairs, Zhang Yi's 24th-floor location made him confident. The elevator lacked electricity, so those attempting to reach him via the stairs would be exhausted.
However, the people coming weren't just from downstairs. Through the building's surveillance system, Zhang Yi noticed that his next-door neighbors from 2402 were also armed and ready.
Observing the jealous glint in their eyes, he realized that they had discovered his comfortable life over the past half month and were filled with envy.
The crowd gathered, blocking the corridor leading to Zhang Yi's apartment. Some held umbrellas to shield against his retaliatory attacks.
Zhang Yi was well-prepared, and he had no reservations about using his abilities. He activated the high-voltage button, directly electrocuting the first person who attempted to break down his door. The electric shock spread to the people behind him, causing chaos.
Some women in the crowd couldn't bear the gruesome sight and vomited acidic water, while others panicked and tried to escape, only to be blocked by Chen Zhenghao and his minions.
Chen Zhenghao aimed to use the others as cannon fodder to withstand Zhang Yi's attacks and claim the resources for himself.
Undeterred, Zhang Yi continued playing "Love While Doing It" through his high-quality speaker, further frustrating the neighbors trying to break the fortified door.
As the crowd grew increasingly desperate, one person recognized the door's strength, realizing it was a bank vault's security door.
Even a bomb couldn't break it open, let alone their feeble attempts.
Undeterred, Zhang Yi readied his crossbow at the firing hole, ready for whatever came next.
He had a serious expression on his face and a large pile of weapons in front of him.
At this time, he received a message from Uncle You, the doorman.
"Xiao Zhang, run away! They're all going after you with their guys."
Zhang Yi's heart warmed slightly, in this world, it was rare that there were still good people.
He smiled, "Uncle You, don't worry, I can handle it."
Uncle You was silent for a moment and seemed to understand that there was no place to run at this time. Resistance was the only option.
He said, "Little Zhang, I hope you can survive. Sorry, I ... may not be able to help you this time."
Uncle You was very ashamed, he had actually taken Zhang Yi's favour.
It was only when Zhang Yi reminded him to buy supplies that he got a lot of instant noodles, ham sausages and other things at home.
Now the standard of living was okay.
But seeing that Zhang Yi was going to be surrounded by so many people, there was nothing he could do.
Zhang Yi said indifferently, "The fact that you are able to not join them already shows your kindness. It's fine, I don't need you to worry about my side."
Uncle You's choice was the most correct, running over to help Zhang Yi now, he was afraid that he would be hacked to death by the hundred or so owners.
After chatting briefly with Uncle You, Zhang Yi also brought caution and did not talk about the details of his own home.
He would not trust the other party completely, no matter who they were!
Soon after, Zhang Yi felt a slight tremor under his feet.
A "rumbling" sound came from outside.
"It's coming."
Zhang Yi said indifferently.
He knew that it was the sound of hundreds of people coming up the stairs.
However, Zhang Yi was living on the 24th floor!
The lift had no electricity, so these guys who were only able to run the stairs must be exhausted.
Of course, the people coming weren't just from downstairs.
At the very least, Zhang Yi through the large screen in front of the monitoring of the whole building, he saw his next door 2402 neighbours also carry kitchen knives and spanners out.
Next door was a young couple, and the woman was hiding behind the man with a kitchen knife in her hand.
The eyes of the duo were glowing with green light, looking at Zhang Yi's door in a sly manner.
I'm sure, after learning that their neighbour had been living a heavenly life for the past half a month, their hearts had been broken with jealousy!
The crowd came one after another, blocking the corridor in front of Zhang Yi's house.
There were a few people holding umbrellas over their heads, to prevent Zhang Yi from pouring cold water towards the outside.
It didn't take long before someone couldn't help but rush up and smash the door.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
"Zhang Yi, get your arse out here! If you don't want to die, this is your last chance!"
"Don't wait for us to rush in, or it'll be too late to say anything by then!"
Zhang Yi passed through the surveillance, but he didn't see Sun Zhichao and the others, not to mention Chen Zhenghao's.
And the actions of these people smashing the door made him confirm one thing - Sun Zhichao and Chen Zhenghao and the others had not told them at all about the actual situation of their home.
In other words, their aim was to let the other neighbours be the cannon fodder to withstand Zhang Yi's crossbow shots and high-voltage electricity attacks first.
Zhang Yi didn't treat them politely, anyway, he had plenty of energy in his hand, so he wasn't at all bad with this bit of electricity.
The high voltage button was directly connected.
The chap who was just angrily slamming the door was directly bitten by the electric current so hard that his face was twisted up!
The most terrifying thing was that since more than a hundred people were crowding over, the entire hallway was in a state of crowdedness.
So after he was electrocuted, even a large group of people behind him were electrified!
"Ah!!!"
"It's high voltage electricity, quickly hide away!"
The people behind them looked like they had been bitten by a tiger and hurriedly spread their hands.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were wearing a lot of clothes, they wouldn't have had the chance to break free.
Everyone was electrocuted by the high voltage electricity, their muscles twitching in pain.
The one who knocked on the door and the seven or eight people around him were the worst off, as they had no chance to escape, they were directly electrocuted and scorched all over.
The others looked at them in horror, but none of them dared to go over to save them.
After ten seconds or so, Zhang Yi cut off the electric current.
Blue smoke rose from the nine people, and the air began to fill with a smell of roasted meat, as well as the smell of burnt clothes.
"Bang!!!"
The nine people collapsed on the ground together, their bodies scorched black, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
But everyone understood in their hearts that even if these people still had a breath left in them, they were already dead in the situation at hand.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes and horror.
They didn't expect so many people to die all at once, and right in front of them.
The expressions of the people who were electrocuted to death were extremely grim, their eyes glaring.
A few women in the crowd immediately couldn't stand it anymore and screamed, bending down to vomit.
It was a pity that they had nothing in their stomachs and were only able to vomit acidic water.
Some people were fearful and wanted to escape.
When they reached the stairs, they realised that the hallway had been blocked by Chen Zhenghao with his minions.
"What do you want? Go back to me!"
Chen Zhenghao held a gun in his hand and said sorrowfully.
The building passage was the only way of survival for them to escape back, Chen Zhenghao blocked this place to let everyone go and fight with Zhang Yi.
It was better if they died, so Chen Zhenghao could rightfully snatch the resources from their hands.
Several people, Sun Zhichao, dragged their sick bodies to the scene as well.
They looked at the nine corpses, but their expressions were very cold.
Obviously, they were playing the same idea as Chen Zhenghao and the others.
When Sun Zhichao saw that the crowd was fearful, he shouted, "Damn Zhang Yi, he's simply an animal! How dare he kill his own neighbours."
"Brothers and sisters, we must kill Zhang Yi and avenge them!"
"Don't be afraid, everyone just use wood to bang on the door, don't touch it!"
"He doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve, he's already at his wits' end!"
"As long as we break through this door, there's a cosy heater behind us, and endless food waiting for us!"
This cheer from Sun Zhichao made quite a few people red-eyed again.
They had been living in hunger and cold for more than half a month, for a bite of food, and a moment of warmth, they were willing to give everything!
Immediately, someone found a piece of wood and came over, looking like it had been removed from a large wardrobe or bed.
"Brothers, ram it for me! Open the door and get that son of a bitch Zhang Yi!"
A group of people hugged the wood and started a frantic banging on Zhang Yi's door.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The violent crashing sound caused the water cups on Zhang Yi's coffee table to start shaking.
Zhang Yi, however, felt that it wasn't enough fun.
He took out a large Sennheiser speaker from the alien space, and after connecting it to his mobile phone, he played his very favourite tune, Love While Doing It.
The people outside the door were desperately banging on the door, but the classic hi-fi song was playing inside the door, which made them even angrier.
"Zhang Yi, you arrogant kumba, I'll get you killed right away!"
"You will die today, you will pay for my brother's life!"
They picked up the stake and banged it with more and more vigour.
But after a few dozen hits, they sadly found that the door hadn't moved a tiny bit.
A dozen or so adult big men exerted their strength together, with a force of thousands of pounds.
Then on the big black iron door, only a white spot was left, and an almost imperceptible dent.
The neighbours' hearts went cold.
"What kind of door is this, how is it so strong?"
"At this rate, when will it take to break the door down?"
Everyone was panting.
They were working against a temperature of over seventy degrees below zero, and since they didn't have enough to eat, they didn't have much strength at all.
After this amount of time, there were quite a few people with weak legs, and they had to have people rotate.
However, according to the current progress, I'm afraid that it's not possible to exhaust everyone to death.
At this time, one person came over and stared at the doorway for a long time before exclaiming, "This ... is the security door of the bank vault!"
This person worked in the bank, took a closer look, and immediately found the end.
When the surrounding people heard it, their hearts were even more desperate.
"Then this thing can not be broken?"
The bank's staff shook his head bitterly, "Not to mention hitting it with wood, this top of the line security door, even if you guys use a bomb, you can't blow it open!"
"If there's no key, unless it's the world's top locksmith expert there's a slight chance of opening it."
At this time, Zhang Yi raised his hand crossbow and had already arrived at the firing hole.
