After passing the man with his motorcycle, Zhang Yi looked back. Though the man had a layer of snow beneath him, the weight of over 400 kilograms pressed on him, causing him to spit blood. Zhang Yi, in a swift motion, handed him a gun, putting an end to his suffering. He then continued to pursue the remaining individuals at a leisurely pace. He wanted to know where these people came from. If they wanted to harm him, they would have to pay the price! The direction of their escape seemed to lead to 21#, the territory of the Wild Wolf Gang.
On the seventh floor of 21#, the gang leader Wang Qiang and deputy leader Xiao Lu watched the scene unfolding before them, feeling their hearts bleed. They had prepared for this robbery for days, meticulously gathering information on Zhang Yi's routes and schedule. They even sent ten subordinates to set up an ambush. They thought it was a foolproof plan, but they never anticipated Zhang Yi's exceptional marksmanship and the abundance of ammunition in his possession.
"Quick, gather everyone at the entrance, set up traps, and be cautious of his gun!" Wang Qiang ordered. Xiao Lu nodded and replied, "Rest assured, we've arranged everything in our corridor. If he dares to enter, we'll kill him right here. The result will be the same!"
While they spoke bravely, they retreated away from the windows. They knew Zhang Yi had a gun, possibly even a sniper rifle. Revealing themselves meant certain death. 21# was tense; all gang members hid in the corridor, praying Zhang Yi wouldn't breach their defenses.
Outside, Zhang Yi continued to hunt down the remaining members of the Wild Wolf Gang. Every shot along the way swiftly eliminated one person after another. The last one, watching 21# approach, was met with the roaring sound of Zhang Yi's motorcycle. Realizing the gang members were likely ambushed, Zhang Yi decided against using his gun. Instead, he took out a Damascus steel hunting knife he had bought before.
"Sploosh!" The knife glided smoothly across the man's neck, unexpectedly giving a satisfying sensation. The sound of blood splattering resembled the wind, and a head flew high into the air, then plummeted to the ground. Witnessing this scene from the shadows, the Wild Wolf Gang members hiding in 21# couldn't help but shudder.
With the snowmobile parked, Zhang Yi descended, picked up the severed head, and tossed it into a room on the fourth floor. The head rolled a few times before settling, eyes vacant, staring into the room's interior. Inside, the atmosphere turned deathly silent as the gang members nervously anticipated what was to come.
Meanwhile, the gunshots had alerted everyone in the neighborhood, including those in apartment 25#. Uncle You and Li Bin, leading the guard duty, armed themselves and rushed to support Zhang Yi.
"Zhang Yi, what's going on? How did you end up in a fight with them?" Uncle You asked angrily. Zhang Yi glanced at them and calmly stated, "They ambushed me outside, and I killed them all." Ten bodies lay from outside the neighborhood to 21#, a stark and bloody sight.
Uncle You roared, "These damn bastards, so treacherous!" He turned to the others and said, "If something happens to Zhang Yi, we'll lose our source of food. We won't survive!"
The group, now realizing the severity of the situation, hurried back to apartment 25#, bringing all the homeowners together. Zhang Yi's expression was cold and stern, his mood considerably grim. He wasn't afraid of being ambushed; such occurrences were unavoidable in this post-apocalyptic world. He was angry because he knew someone in apartment 25# had leaked information to the Wild Wolf Gang.
Not harboring betrayal resentment, as he understood his neighbors were not all virtuous, he merely wanted to identify the traitor. However, with nearly everyone in the building a suspect, he didn't know who had done it. In that case... treat everyone equally!
With the Wild Wolf Gang defending themselves in 21#, Zhang Yi decided to let them fight amongst themselves. He didn't care who died; they all deserved it. Zhang Yi's icy gaze swept over each person, and the others, seeing his expression, were filled with fear.
However, they also knew being ambushed was an unpleasant experience. After a while, Zhang Yi coldly said, "The people from 21# have attacked me. If I die, none of you will survive. So, they want to kill me, which means they want to kill you all! To deal with such people, we must eliminate them all! Uncle You, accompany me this time. Li Chengbin, lead the rest, and launch a formal attack on 21#!"
"For killing one person, I'll reward ten people's worth of food!" Hearing Zhang Yi's reward, the group couldn't help but be tempted. Many regretted missing the chance to prove themselves the previous night. However, some voiced concerns: "Is it appropriate to go now? They are definitely on guard for revenge. Even if we go, it might be better to wait until night."
Zhang Yi glanced at Guo Dahai, a burly man from the Mediterranean, and then pointed at Uncle You, saying, "Moreover, Uncle You is our main force; it's best he stays behind." The others nodded, finding Guo Dahai's words reasonable. "Yeah, even if it's for revenge, it's better to sneak attack at night." "Is Zhang Yi enraged now? We should stay calm." "Uncle You is powerful; he should be the main force."
