People have arrived at Zhang Yi's doorstep, holding umbrellas. However, the War Dragon Security Company had installed numerous pinhole cameras on this floor during the initial setup.
They could capture the actions of the arrivals from various angles.
After the group reached the doorstep, Zhang Yi saw someone take out several shiny metal tools from their pocket.
Then, they inserted these tools into the keyhole of his security door.
"Picking locks?"
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow slightly but paid no mind to it.
If his security door were so easily picked, the professional personnel of the War Dragon Security Company might as well eat dung.
This door not only had a world-class security level, comparable to a bank vault, but it also had an additional five layers of defense.
To open the outermost lock, one had to be a world-class locksmith to have a chance.
Not to mention the added physical levers inside.
The more complex something is, the simpler its solution, and conversely, simple things cannot handle certain situations.
For example, Zhang Yi's door.
Since he never planned to go out initially, he directly used a 10cm diameter steel rod to block it!
Unless a car constantly rammed into it, it couldn't be broken manually.
Moreover, anticipating attempts to force the door open, Zhang Yi had deliberately added a special defense.
Watching the surveillance on TV, he took out his phone, opened the control software for the safe room, and lightly pressed a button.
Instantly, a massive electric current flowed through the security door!
The person, Lu Tao, who was diligently picking the lock, let out a miserable scream as the powerful current ran through his entire body!
Several people nearby were frightened, their faces turning pale as they hastily retreated.
"Help... help me!"
Lu Tao, with a grimacing face, pleaded for help from his companions.
The powerful electric current clamped onto him like a pair of pliers, making it impossible for him to break free.
Fang Yuqing, Zhou Peng, and others looked on dumbfounded.
They hadn't anticipated this situation and had no suitable insulating tools.
Soon, smoke rose from Lu Tao's body, emitting a burnt smell.
"Boom!"
He fell to the ground, his clothes already burned to shreds, and his arms and face charred.
Clearly, survival was impossible.
"Ah!!!"
Fang Yuqing, Lin Caining, and others nearby let out a scream.
Witnessing someone's death in front of them was an immensely shocking experience.
Meanwhile, in Zhang Yi's room, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
Unexplainably, he felt somewhat satisfied.
But who could blame them?
They dared to target Zhang Yi; they deserved this fate!
Wang Min and others were horrified, and their plan to force the door had failed.
Sun Zhichao and Lu Tao had been buddies for years, and seeing his brother die a tragic death, Sun Zhichao's eyes were ablaze with anger.
"Zhang Yi, you son of a b****, get your a** out here!"
He picked up an iron shovel and smashed it against Zhang Yi's door with a loud "clang."
The sound echoed through several floors.
However, the massive iron door showed no signs of denting or damage after the surface paint peeled off, revealing a sturdy alloy beneath.
Zhang Yi came to the door, hands in his pockets, and sneered, "Trying to break my door? Aren't you looking for death?"
He shook his head, sighing, "Hey, isn't it good to be alive?"
Hearing Zhang Yi's mocking tone, the people outside were both shocked and furious.
Wang Min shouted, "Zhang Yi, we initially wanted to discuss living together amicably with you. How could you resort to killing?"
"You are even worse than Chen Zhenghao, a murderous devil!"
Hearing a woman's voice, Zhang Yi realized that the people outside weren't Chen Zhenghao's group.
But killing Lu Tao didn't bother him at all; after all, such people deserved to die.
After a second thought, he figured out who these people were.
Certainly, it was the group led by Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining!
Zhang Yi's expression turned cold, and he scolded without hesitation, "You're trying to deceive me? Clearly, you're the ones breaking into my house, attempting to seize it. If you die, it's your own fault!"
"Still pretending to be innocent here, it's really amusing!"
Sun Zhichao feigned composure.
"Zhang Yi, we mean no harm; we just want to talk to you."
"But without a word, you killed our good brother Lu Tao. Isn't that too much?"
"Don't you plan to explain yourself to us?"
Zhang Yi burst into laughter.
"Just coming over for a chat? Coming to my house uninvited, attempting to break in, and then, after breaking in, the next step is probably to kill me or drive me out to fend for myself."
"Then you'll enjoy the safe room I've prepared with so much effort, right?"
The group exchanged glances; indeed, that was their initial plan.
Sun Zhichao's eyes grew increasingly tense. The tragic death of his good brother had filled him with hatred for Zhang Yi.
However, breaking into the room was the most crucial issue now.
He took a deep breath and shouted, "Zhang Yi, we're giving you one last chance! Open the door and let us in. Otherwise, the consequences will be something you can't bear!"
Fang Yuqing also shouted from outside, "Zhang Yi, we won't harm you. We just want to live together and face the disaster as a group. Don't you understand goodwill?"
Lin Caining joined in, "Yes, at worst, we'll let you stay in the master bedroom, and you can use the supplies first!"
They were extremely excited at this moment.
Because on the other side of the wall was paradise, and they had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Zhang Yi sneered at their claims.
"Have your brains gone bad? This house was originally mine, yet you act like masters deciding on the distribution."
"If you're capable, show it. Let's see if you can break in!"
While speaking, Zhang Yi's hands were not idle.
He had already loaded the bullets into the pistol and held the crossbow in his hand.
The hunting moment was about to begin.
Through the surveillance, he could clearly see everything outside and even hear their hushed conversations.
Sun Zhichao and others gathered together, discussing their next move.
Among them, the one with the least courage, Ge Jialiang, nervously asked, "What should we do? Now that Lu Tao is dead, no one can unlock the door. Should we retreat? If we attract Chen Zhenghao's attention, it won't be good."
However, Sun Zhichao cursed, "What are you afraid of? This is the 24th floor; even if Chen Zhenghao and his group climb up, they'll be half dead. Even if they want to kill, they'll start with the lower floors."
Wang Min, with a serious expression, said, "This Zhang Yi is indeed not easy to deal with. He looks as if he knew the apocalypse was coming early on, and his equipment is very well-prepared."
