Zhang Yi heard the sound and sneered.
His voice made everyone present quickly shut their mouths.
"Has the food I've been giving you all recently made your courage grow?"
Zhang Yi's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Guo Dahai.
The Mediterranean fat man was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back.
"When I first became the building manager, I told you all that everyone must listen to me."
He revealed a sinister smile. "Heh, it's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten?"
After saying this, Zhang Yi suddenly drew his handgun and pointed it at Guo Dahai's head, pulling the trigger.
"Bang!"
Guo Dahai's head exploded in a spray of blood, causing several female neighbors to scream in shock.
No one had expected Zhang Yi to shoot so suddenly, without hesitation.
"Those who don't listen… must die."
Zhang Yi coldly addressed everyone.
At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that Zhang Yi wasn't the gentle neighbor boy who brought them food. He was the demon who had killed most of the building's residents!
The scene was dead silent. No one dared to make a sound.
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, appearing as if nothing had happened.
"Now, go immediately and take down the Mad Wolf Gang! Who's for it, who's against it?"
After a few seconds of silence, Li Chengbin raised his hand and said, "I agree, let's listen to Zhang Ge!"
One by one, the others raised their hands. "We... we'll follow Zhang Yi's lead!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yi's face broke into a gentle smile again.
"That's more like it! We're all family, and family helps each other."
"You see, I'm not trying to trick you. I've already taken down ten of them myself! The rest of the gang, you guys can deal with. I'm being good to you, right?"
"Go ahead, Uncle You and I will go out and help you find food. Tonight, we'll have extra food, and everyone will get a good meal!"
Zhang Yi's carrot-and-stick approach worked wonders.
Although the neighbors were initially shocked by Guo Dahai's death, since it was Guo Dahai who died and not them, they felt it didn't really matter.
Zhang Yi promised to bring food back for them, so their resentment started to fade away.
Zhang Yi held his gun, watching them go.
Thus, whether they liked it or not, the group had no choice but to grab their weapons and charge into Building 21.
After a while, chaotic noises and shouting filled the air from inside.
Zhang Yi glanced at his watch; his gold Rolex still looked plain and dull.
"Let them keep fighting. I have to go now. Otherwise, when I come back, I won't even know what time it is!"
He turned to Uncle You, "Let's go, you help out this time."
Today's mission was just a routine search, nothing particularly urgent, so bringing Uncle You along didn't matter.
Uncle You chuckled, glanced at Building 21 in the distance, and nodded. "Alright, let's go!"
Zhang Yi frowned slightly, as if in pain, holding his ribcage.
"I can't drive the vehicle anymore. I bumped into something during the fight earlier, and my ribs hurt."
Uncle You looked at the snowmobile and volunteered, "Then I'll drive it!"
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded. "Good."
So, Uncle You took the wheel, and Zhang Yi sat behind him.
The injury was fake; Zhang Yi just didn't trust leaving his back exposed to someone else.
War God Yan Shuangying once said: "Watch your back!"
The two of them left the community together.
Uncle You didn't have a helmet or goggles, and the cold wind forced him to squint his eyes, allowing the icy wind and snow to slap against his face.
But he didn't mind, in fact, he felt quite exhilarated.
It had been a long time since he left the community. Having been cooped up in the complex for over half a month, he felt stifled.
"Haha, it really feels good to be out!"
"By the way, Zhang Yi, where are we going?"
Zhang Yi casually said, "The city's so big, we can go anywhere. Let's head over to the World Trade area first!"
The World Trade area was a famous commercial district in Tianhai City.
Uncle You nodded and, relying on his memory of the surroundings, drove towards the World Trade area.
After about half an hour, they arrived.
At this time, the World Trade area was full of tall buildings that seemed to have grown out of the snow, half of them above the surface while the rest were still buried.
Zhang Yi and Uncle You got out of the car and casually started scavenging inside the buildings.
This was Uncle You's first time out, and he found everything on the commercial street fascinating.
Especially in those department stores, many of them had luxury brand boutiques.
Gold, silver, jewelry, designer clothes, and luxury cars on display...
Items that were once beyond his reach were now abandoned, and anyone could take them.
Uncle You was so excited he immediately found a bag and started grabbing things to put inside.
Zhang Yi glanced over and realized that what Uncle You was mostly collecting were clothes, particularly baby clothes.
He couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. Should he say that Uncle You was kind-hearted, or should he call him a simp?
Zhang Yi, bored, walked over and said to him, "Uncle You, I've already checked around here, there's no food. Looks like we came to the wrong place!"
Uncle You smiled and said, "Hmm, that's true. But we're not short on food back home. The problem is, the kids are growing fast and don't have enough clothes."
Zhang Yi smiled helplessly and sat down on a nearby chair.
"You and Sister Xie seem to be getting along quite well."
Uncle You chuckled, "What do you mean by getting along? We're just getting by. Having a woman to warm the bed, that's what makes life worth looking forward to, isn't it?"
Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with a playful glint.
"If you like that, I'll introduce you to some women with big chests and wide hips. Let them serve you well, how about that?"
Uncle You, with his back to Zhang Yi, clearly flinched.
"This... this isn't right. You know, I... I'm not that kind of person!"
Zhang Yi raised his chin and gave him a knowing look.
He knew very well that Uncle You used to visit Yuhu Street every month to have certain "issues" solved by a female technician at the Twin Peaks barbershop.
Uncle You was a straightforward man, but that didn't mean he didn't like women.
If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't have been so easily taken by Xie Limei.
"Don't worry, it's all good, bro. I've got you covered when it comes to this kind of thing!"
Zhang Yi threw his arm around Uncle You's shoulder with a wicked grin.
"Ah, look at you, always saying stuff like that! I'm a decent person."
Uncle You licked his lips, saying this, but his face was filled with suppressed smiles.
"Ah, right, right!"
Zhang Yi now had a clear judgment in his mind.
Uncle You had feelings for Xie Limei, but they weren't deep. So in the future, if Xie Limei became a problem, he could easily take care of her.
But to avoid affecting his relationship with Uncle You, he would find a considerate and skilled woman to introduce to him.
