On the second day, Zhang Yi heard gunshots coming from the hallway.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Two gunshots, sounding like two large firecrackers.
Undoubtedly, this was the work of Chen Zhenghao.
Clearly, Zhang Yi's words from yesterday had already taken effect.
In the face of imminent danger, people's fear of death slowly faded away.
Zhang Yi's promise of a week's worth of noodles had an irresistible allure to them.
Zhang Yi opened the surveillance, witnessing the scene of the conflict erupting.
Two men with wrenches and cleavers lay on the ground, and the hallway was stained with blood.
However, Chen Zhenghao didn't fare any better. He leaned against the wall, holding a gun, looking shaken.
They would intercept those who came here for water, and naturally, others could take advantage of this opportunity to counterattack them.
Chen Zhenghao ordered his men to drag away the two bodies, and he quickly returned to his residence.
A handgun was tightly clenched in his hand; now, it was his last resort.
The two bodies were dragged into the house, and Chen Zhenghao signaled to his henchmen, who promptly dragged the bodies into the kitchen.
Before long, sounds of clanging and banging rang out from inside.
Chen Zhenghao's eyes were sinister as he sat on the cold sofa, unable to derive much warmth.
After returning yesterday, he saw the messages in the group, learning about the bounty that Zhang Yi had placed on him.
This made him furious.
He saw himself as the hunter, and Zhang Yi was just his prey!
Prey, why should prey fight back against the hunter?
However, he underestimated the madness of people in dire situations.
Early that morning, two desperate young people came for his life.
This made Chen Zhenghao sense a hint of danger, but at the same time, it drove him even more insane!
"Die, all of you die! You want me dead? You go die first!"
Chen Zhenghao roared.
After relaxing, he suddenly felt a twinge in his back.
So, he called over one of his men to see what was happening.
After taking a glance, the man immediately shouted, "Boss Hao, you've been stabbed in the back!"
There was a thirty-centimeter-long gash on Chen Zhenghao's down jacket, which was inconspicuously stained with blood against the dark fabric. It was only noticeable upon careful inspection.
Due to the cold outside and Chen Zhenghao's adrenaline rush, he hadn't felt the pain until now.
Upon hearing this, he cried out in pain.
"These two damn bastards, chop them up for me!"
Sweat beads formed on his forehead, and he quickly grabbed his phone, calling Zhou Ke'er.
"Doctor Zhou, I've been injured, hurry over and bandage me up!"
Not long after, Zhou Ke'er arrived at Chen Zhenghao's house carrying a medical kit.
Looking at this bloodthirsty thug, Zhou Ke'er's eyes were filled with disgust.
But for the sake of staying alive, she had no choice but to treat him.
In fact, previously, Chen Zhenghao's arrow wound hadn't worsened because she had treated it.
Though reluctant, facing the muzzle of the gun, she had no options.
"I won't help you for free."
Zhou Ke'er said coldly.
Chen Zhenghao chuckled and pointed to the kitchen, "I'll give you a piece of the meat we're having later!"
Zhou Ke'er sniffed hard, detecting the pungent smell of blood. Her face changed; after years of working in the hospital, she knew exactly what it was.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, Zhou Ke'er coldly said, "No need."
Chen Zhenghao laughed, "It's already this desperate, and Dr. Zhou is still so principled? Sooner or later, you'll eat it. If you don't eat, you'll die!"
"I'd rather die."
Zhou Ke'er frowned.
"I can't bear to see you go! Nowadays, having a doctor around is crucial."
Chen Zhenghao sighed.
If not for Zhou Ke'er treating the wound on his leg before, he wouldn't have just lost a leg now, but his life!
"Don't worry, if the day comes when I have to eat you, I'll save you for last."
Chen Zhenghao stared at Zhou Ke'er, his eyes revealing a burning desire.
He had coveted this beautiful woman for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that she was still useful, he would have made his move long ago.
Zhou Ke'er didn't say anything, just treated his wound.
Before long, the wound was simply bandaged.
Zhou Ke'er picked up her medical kit, ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhenghao signaled to his henchman, and the man promptly blocked the door.
Zhou Ke'er was alarmed, "What do you want?"
Chen Zhenghao said, "Nothing, you can't leave until my wound is healed."
At this moment, Chen Zhenghao was also afraid.
He didn't know how many people wanted him dead, and he was running low on medicine.
Having a doctor around gave him peace of mind.
Ignoring Zhou Ke'er's resistance, he forcefully kept her there.
Shortly afterward, his men brought a plate of cooked meat.
Zhou Ke'er saw human fingers on it and almost vomited.
Fortunately, she worked in the hospital and often dealt with corpses, so she wasn't scared to death.
Chen Zhenghao asked her to eat some, but she naturally refused.
With a sneer, Chen Zhenghao didn't pay her any mind.
He believed that Zhou Ke'er was just putting on an act, and sooner or later, when she couldn't bear the hunger, she would eat.
"This can't go on. These cattle and horses dare to resist now, which is very unfavorable for us."
"Only by killing Zhang Yi, taking over his house, can we be safe in the future."
"Their house is like a fortress, and they have a lot of supplies. At least enough for us to live on for a few months. Maybe by then, the snow disaster will be over."
"So, for now, we need to think about how to deal with Zhang Yi."
Chen Zhenghao said to his men.
The group of men exchanged glances.
"Boss Hao, we've attacked Zhang Yi's house several times, but we've failed every time."
"Their house is like a turtle shell; we can't break in!"
Chen Zhenghao said, "I don't believe their house has no weaknesses, and I don't believe he won't leave!"
"Here's the plan: we move to the apartment next to his, take shifts keeping an eye on him. As long as we get a chance, we'll eliminate him!"
"Plus, living on the higher floors is safer."
At the moment, the group was in turmoil, and they nodded in agreement with whatever Chen Zhenghao said.
Zhou Ke'er heard their conversation.
Under the pretext of going to the restroom, she messaged Zhang Yi, informing him of the situation.
Zhang Yi, unimpressed, chuckled.
Getting him to leave the house was absolutely impossible!
"Got it, you continue to observe the situation there."
Zhou Ke'er was a doctor; Chen Zhenghao wouldn't kill her, so she wasn't in immediate danger.
Zhang Yi wasn't in a hurry to take action. He had set a bounty, and someone would undoubtedly risk their life to kill Chen Zhenghao.
Chen Zhenghao and his men gathered their supplies, then took Zhou Ke'er and went to the 24th floor.
The young couple living next to Zhang Yi's apartment were also terrified upon learning that Chen Zhenghao had come.
