In the crucible of their animosity towards Zhang Ye and their desire for his residence, the plastic sisters temporarily formed an alliance.
However, when it came to plotting the acquisition of Zhang Ye's dwelling, they engaged in a thoughtful deliberation.
"If we intend to seize the residence, the two of us alone may not prevail against Zhang Ye. We must rely on external assistance."
Even under ordinary circumstances, the two of them together were no match for Zhang Ye.
Considering their current plight, battling both the cold and hunger while Zhang Ye thrived, they needed external help.
Lin Caining bit her lip, "What if we gather some neighbors to join us?"
Fang Yuqing gave her a cold glare.
"Are you foolish?"
"Even if Zhang Ye's residence is well-stocked, it won't be enough for a larger group!"
"So, the fewer people who know about this, the better."
Lin Caining anxiously asked, "Then, what should we do?"
Fang Yuqing, with a triumphant smile, suggested, "Let's call Zhou Peng over!"
Zhou Peng was her loyal lapdog, wholly subservient to Fang Yuqing.
Although Zhang Ye had also shown interest in Fang Yuqing, he possessed some degree of intelligence, unlike Zhou Peng, who was entirely devoid of it. For Fang Yuqing, he was the perfect tool to help seize Zhang Ye's house.
Lin Caining applauded, "What a brilliant idea! The lapdog is indeed useful."
Fang Yuqing promptly dialed Zhou Peng's number.
At this moment, Zhou Peng was emaciated due to hunger.
As a warehouse employee, he initially had a decent supply of food at home, but most of it was handed over to Fang Yuqing.
Unaware that he was being manipulated, Zhou Peng, in his self-induced delusion, believed that his sacrifices for Fang Yuqing would inevitably lead to her marrying him.
Upon seeing Fang Yuqing's call, he forgot about hunger and cold, excitedly rushing over.
Upon arrival at Fang Yuqing's residence, she immediately approached Zhou Peng, wearing a look of distress, narrating how Zhang Ye had mistreated her.
"Sob, sob, Zhang Ye is truly a beast!"
"I merely asked him for some food, and he demanded I sleep with him."
"Zhou Peng, you know I'm not that kind of woman!"
Observing Fang Yuqing's tearful appearance, Zhou Peng, elated that she sought him out first when in trouble, felt an overwhelming sense of joy.
Look, why did she turn to me when she had a problem instead of someone else? It indicated my special place in her heart!
This must be love!
Zhou Peng believed it was time to display his manly qualities.
Perhaps, with one bold move, he could win Fang Yuqing over!
He pledged, "Zhang Ye is truly despicable! To dare to mistreat you like that, I must eliminate him!"
Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining exchanged glances, realizing Zhou Peng was easily manipulated.
They had prepared numerous persuasive arguments, but Zhou Peng volunteered to take care of Zhang Ye without them even having to coax him.
Fang Yuqing, pulling Zhou Peng's arm, gazed at him with enchanting eyes.
"Zhang Ye's residence is stocked with plenty of food! And it even has a fireplace, exceptionally warm."
"Why does such a wretched person deserve to live in such a house?"
"Zhou Peng, let's find a way to take over his residence. After that, we can live together. What do you say?"
Zhou Peng had never liked Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye was more handsome and wealthier than him.
In the past, both had feelings for Fang Yuqing, and Fang Yuqing naturally favored Zhang Ye.
Now, with Fang Yuqing clinging to his arm, he felt a faint, triumphant sensation, even through the layers of clothing.
He declared, "Haha, sure! Fang Yuqing, rest assured. I'll take care of this matter for you!"
Seeing Zhou Peng's agreement, Fang Yuqing added, "However, you must be cautious. Zhang Ye is selfish and shameless. If we attempt to seize his residence, he might retaliate."
"So, we need to go prepared with weapons, and it's best to strike first!"
Lin Caining chimed in, "In my opinion, we might as well just kill him outright!"
She held the deepest grudge against Zhang Ye.
After sending her intimate photos to Zhang Ye, he not only showed no interest but also commented on her being too dark!
If this matter became public, she'd rather die.
Therefore, Zhang Ye had to die!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng hesitated slightly.
Taking a life might seem casual in conversation, but they had all lived in civilized society for over twenty years. Opening this door was not a simple matter.
Seeing Zhou Peng's hesitation, Fang Yuqing's expression turned cold.
"What's the matter? You disagree?"
"Zhang Ye has treated me so badly, and you still sympathize with him. It seems your past declarations of love were all lies. Hmph!"
Zhou Peng, faced with Fang Yuqing's anger, reverted to his lapdog nature.
"No, no, no, Fang Yuqing, don't be angry. I'll do as you say."
As long as he could win Fang Yuqing, he was willing to commit murder!
After all, in this apocalyptic world, moral principles were gradually deteriorating.
Fang Yuqing said, "Very well, time is of the essence. Let's go now!"
"When the time comes, we'll find a way to trick Zhang Ye into opening the door, and once he does..."
She mimicked a throat-slitting gesture.
Lin Caining brought over the prepared tools.
Two kitchen knives and a steel pipe, dismantled from a clothes hanger.
Zhou Peng took one of the kitchen knives and tucked it inside his thick down jacket.
After their preparations, the group, brimming with murderous intent, proceeded toward Zhang Ye's residence.
Upon reaching Zhang Ye's doorstep, Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining held their weapons, hiding nearby to avoid being seen through the peephole by Zhang Ye.
They signaled Zhou Peng with a glance, indicating for him to knock on the door and lure Zhang Ye out.
Zhou Peng nodded, gaining confidence as he touched the kitchen knife concealed in his clothing.
He knocked on the door.
"Zhang Ye, are you home? It's Zhou Peng!"
Hearing the voice outside, Zhang Ye grew curious.
"Zhou Peng?"
Although both he and Zhou Peng worked in the warehouse, their relationship was not cordial.
Moreover, they had some conflicts in the past due to their shared pursuit of Fang Yuqing.
This guy wouldn't come over for anything good – after all, in this apocalyptic era, there were hardly any good news to share.
Instead of going to open the door, Zhang Ye turned on the TV and checked the surveillance cameras.
Sure enough, he saw the scene outside.
Seeing the two women, brandishing knives and steel pipes, with murderous intent, Zhang Ye felt a chill down his spine.
Although he had prepared himself thoroughly, the ruthlessness of these two women still sent a shiver through him.
"Wish to kill me? You think you're worthy!"
Zhang Ye sneered, a cold killing intent emanating from his dark eyes.
Who will be the victor in this struggle? That remains uncertain.
