The dialogue inside the group was watched by Zhang Yi.
Uncle You turned his head to send a private message to Zhang Yi.
"Zhang Yi, what now?"
Zhang Yi said, "The fire is almost ready, when the time comes, you will give me a helping hand to make this group of people listen to me honestly."
"Grace and authority, make them obedient, our building will be safe in the future."
Whether they were safe or not Zhang Yi didn't know, anyway, Zhang Yi would definitely become safer.
Moreover, many of these neighbours would be sent to the frontline by Zhang Yi as cannon fodder.
They basically had family members who were killed by Zhang Yi, and they would definitely take revenge once they had the chance in the future.
So it was best to get them killed now.
After Uncle You and Zhang Yi finished their discussion, the two of them returned to the owners' group.
Uncle You pretentiously tweeted Zhang Yi: "@Zhang Yi Zhang Yi, everyone needs you very much right now. If you were the only household left in this building, you'd be lonely too, right?"
"So now please be kind and help everyone! Everyone will definitely thank you from the bottom of their hearts!"
The neighbours also spoke up in a hurry.
"Yes, yes, yes, as long as you can save us, everyone will be grateful to you!"
"In the future, our building will be under your command."
"Zhang Yi, our family's lives are in your hands!"
Good words came pouring over worthless.
Zhang Yi sneered.
"I came over to talk to you guys because of Uncle You's face."
"But I'm too lazy to care about you guys, I'm living well on my own, why should I care about you guys?"
"And you have to go out and work hard, risking your lives. I think it's not worth it!"
The more Zhang Yi said this, the more those neighbours had no bottom in their hearts.
"Zhang Yi, don't! Big deal, we'll do whatever you tell us to do in the future, okay?"
Even if they were in a desperate situation, they would not want to die even if they had a glimmer of hope of staying alive.
Zhang Yi sneered and asked, "Oh? Is that so? You'll do whatever I tell you to do?"
"All of you agree?"
The neighbours hesitated for a while.
Someone said, "As long as you aren't asking us to die, any other conditions are fine!"
Zhang Yi asked rhetorically, "I'm asking you to take your weapons and go fight against the Tianhe Gang's people, will you go or not?"
"This ..."
The inside of the group became quiet all of a sudden.
No one spoke, all waiting for someone else to be the leader.
Zhang Yi laughed out loud, "So you guys just want me to fight for my life, right? Good, then I don't care about you guys."
"Just wait until Huang Tianfang brings his men to kill over, you guys just stick your necks out and let them chop!"
"Bye!"
Uncle You was anxious, "Zhang Yi, don't! We big guys will definitely listen to you."
"We're all going to die anyway, there's still a chance to live if we put up a fight, I'll do it with you!"
With that, he began to mobilise the big guys again.
"What are you guys still hesitating for? There's still a chance to live if we all put up a fight together, do we have to wait for people to name them and kill them one by one?"
Uncle You's encouragement really worked.
Thinking that there was still a way to live if they fought together, everyone spoke up and agreed to follow Zhang Yi's orders.
The duo of Zhang Yi and Uncle You sang in unison and thus gained control of the entire building.
He said indifferently, "Good then, from now on everything has to be done at my bidding."
"The state of affairs is grim, and the enemy may attack over at any time. Any passive and slack behaviour is regarded as betrayal to the owners of the entire building!"
"When that time comes, don't blame me for directly striking out to kill that person!"
Zhang Yi's gaze swept over the list of group members.
"Never let me find out that there are those who quietly and silently hide and refuse to come out and fight."
"When you find one, kill them directly! If you want to get up and pick the fruit, there's no door!"
Zhang Yi said this because he did a rough count and found that there were only about twenty people talking in the group.
Obviously, some people didn't open their mouths and were planning to turtle up and be an ostrich, letting Zhang Yi lead his men to fight for their lives.
When Zhang Yi said that, those neighbours who had agreed to meet the enemy with Zhang Yi were also unhappy.
"Fang Lin, come out here! I know you're not dead, I saw you go digging for snow yesterday!"
"Liang Yulu, where are you? Don't hide, and don't pretend you didn't see the group message. We'll be looking for you when the time comes!"
...
With red eyes, the neighbours ait out those ostriches.
People are selfish, and when they made up their minds to play for their lives, they certainly didn't want to watch the others pretend to be grandchildren and hide behind their backs.
As a last resort, those same people ventured out.
"Ah, I just fell asleep and just saw the news."
"Huh, what's going on? Is everyone going to fight back? That's great!"
"I'm not afraid of death, I just didn't see it."
A group of people said sheepishly.
Zhang Yi didn't care about those, "Anyway, since everyone elected me to be the building manager, they have to listen to my orders. Whoever dares to wimp out at the back is betraying all the owners and deserves to die!"
The owners didn't dare to speak, they knew that Zhang Yi would really kill them.
Those fifty or so dead souls were the bloody evidence.
After waving the big stick, Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and was ready to give them a carrot.
"Don't worry, I, Zhang Yi, am a kind person and can't bear to watch you guys starve. As long as you guys are obedient, I will go out and help you look for supplies."
This matter, Zhang Yi had plans a while ago.
Since there was an engineering team that would use blasting technology, it was difficult to guarantee that a more powerful enemy would not appear in the future.
He lived on the 24th floor, and even though his house was made of metal throughout, if there was a collapse downstairs, it would have a very big impact on his house as well.
That was why he wanted to raise a group of cannon fodder to live down there, to keep watch for him and help him die when necessary.
Keeping them would definitely not work without supplies.
Zhang Yi was not willing to give them the supplies in his space, so he needed to go out and look for them.
Moreover, his weapons and ammunition were depleting at a relatively fast rate.
He had run out of twenty rounds of ammunition in one battle a few days ago, and also needed to consider going out to look for more weaponry.
As for how to travel, the question was simple.
The snow outside was more than ten metres thick, making vehicles a waste.
However, there was a type of vehicle that existed specifically for travelling in the snow - the snowmobile.
There were five of them in Zhang Yi's space, two were snowmobiles with cockpits and three small snowmobiles.
In times like these when the city was sealed off by snow, anyone else who wanted to leave their homes would have to exert a tremendous amount of effort.
He, however, could freely travel throughout the city.
In the owners' group, a pot exploded at this time!
"Zhang Yi, you were able to go out for supplies?"
"There's no way to drive in that much snow. Do you want to walk out through the snow? That ... that shall not freeze to death?"
Zhang Yi said, "Even if the environment outside is harsh, for the sake of everyone, I have to go out and give it a try!"
"Don't worry, I've been working in warehousing for some years. I know exactly where there are warehouses in Tianhai City and where there are large shopping malls and supermarkets."
"Finding supplies isn't difficult for me."
