A few of them looked at each other, and then Huang Tianfang shouted coldly, "Where is Zhang Yi? We're here to negotiate with him!"
Uncle You, holding a crowbar, walked over.
The scene before him reminded him of his time in the military.
He felt as though he had regained twenty years of youth, and the blood in his veins was boiling.
Uncle You, fearless, looked at the building leaders in front of him and said, "Our boss is up there waiting for you. What's the matter? Weren't the 29 building leaders supposed to come together?"
Li Jian adjusted his glasses, his smile still polite as ever.
"We discussed it yesterday, and it's not suitable for all of us to come together, so we sent just five of us as representatives."
They were also worried, afraid that Zhang Yi would seize the opportunity to take them all out.
After some discussion, they had decided to send the five strongest individuals to negotiate with Zhang Yi.
Uncle You, having received instructions from Zhang Yi, frowned slightly and said, "Then please come in! But today only the five of you can come, no one else."
"And for safety's sake, if you have any weapons, it's better to put them away. Otherwise, things might not look so good when we check."
Uncle You's words caused a change in the expressions of the people in front of him.
Chen Lingyu's eyebrows shot up, and she scolded, "Search us? What does Zhang Yi mean by this? Is this his attitude?"
Wang Qiang laughed loudly, pulling out a machete, and pointing it at Uncle You as he cursed, "Zhang Yi, that reckless fool, doesn't know what's going on, and still dares to make demands! You guys are truly not afraid of dying!"
Huang Tianfang sneered, "Is Zhang Yi blind, unable to see what's happening here? With just a few dozen of you, we could drown you all with a single spit!"
Uncle You didn't waste any more words. He took out his phone from his pocket.
It turned out that he had been keeping in contact with Zhang Yi, so that Zhang Yi could stay informed about the situation below.
After hearing their arrogant tone, Zhang Yi laughed.
"I know what's going on. Wait a moment."
It seemed that he had no choice but to strike and crush their arrogance.
He had to make these guys understand that just because they had more people didn't mean everything would go smoothly.
Zhang Yi walked to the window and opened it.
The cold wind howled through.
He glanced down at the crowd below, noticing that the area was filled with people.
Zhang Yi pulled out a grenade from his storage space, quickly pulling the pin just like he'd seen in videos online, and tossed it toward the crowd in the distance.
The people behind were just waiting to watch the show.
Although they had a large number of people, most of them had only been dragged there by the building leaders to make up the numbers.
So, they thought of themselves as spectators, happily chatting and fantasizing about the free food, clothes, and supplies they would soon receive.
Suddenly, a whistling sound rang out.
Everyone instinctively looked up and saw something falling down.
"What's that?"
Some thought it was a thrown stone and didn't pay much attention, since it was still far from them.
In the blink of an eye, the grenade hit the ground.
"Boom!!!!"
Flames shot up into the sky, and seven or eight people near the impact zone were thrown into the air.
Along with the snowflakes, red blood and dismembered limbs flew through the air.
"Ah!!!!"
The deafening explosion triggered a wave of panicked screams.
A single grenade had instantly killed seven or eight people, and the two at the epicenter were riddled with shrapnel.
The shockwave and shrapnel spread to about ten more people, leaving them bleeding uncontrollably.
In this environment, the injured were as good as dead.
The sudden explosion startled everyone.
After all, ordinary people rarely encounter grenades in their lifetime.
Even in the apocalypse, they never imagined they'd be attacked by a grenade!
The scene was thrown into chaos.
Though there were many people, they were nothing more than a disorganized mob, most of them just there to fill the numbers.
For a moment, it was a total mess, with people scrambling and screaming in panic to escape.
The building leaders, including Wang Qiang, turned pale with fear.
What leaders they were, just ordinary people with bigger guts and a bit more ruthlessness.
When faced with an explosion, they were just as scared as anyone else.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!"
The leaders among the crowd tried to suppress their fear, shouting orders to stop the panic.
But they were no army, so where was the discipline?
Even their men and trusted subordinates were scared out of their wits, quickly ducking to the ground, holding their heads, or scrambling to hide.
At this moment, a mocking voice came from Uncle You's phone.
"Is having a lot of people really that impressive?"
Wang Qiang and the others froze, their eyes wide in disbelief.
The grenade… was thrown by Zhang Yi!
Where did he get a grenade from? How did he even have one?
Not only were Uncle You and the others stunned, but they were also taken aback by the situation.
It wasn't until they heard Zhang Yi's voice that they understood what had happened, and everyone sighed in relief.
Uncle You, still shocked, coughed and then said to Wang Qiang and the others, "Do you still have any objections?"
Wang Qiang and the others were too scared to speak. They exchanged glances and finally realized just how deep Zhang Yi's power and resources were.
He not only had a gun but had also pulled out a sniper rifle!
They could tolerate the sniper rifle, but now a grenade had appeared too!
They were still holding sticks and machetes. How could they fight him?
They had come here full of arrogance, but now their faces were as pale as ghosts.
Wang Qiang grimaced, "We came to negotiate, no need for this!"
Zhang Yi's voice came through the phone, dripping with disdain.
"Do you really need over a thousand people for a negotiation? I just thought they were in the way, so I helped you clear them out."
On the 13th floor, Zhang Yi checked his watch.
"Oh, it's almost 2:30. You have five minutes. If I don't see you in five minutes, then we're done here."
"We'll fight!"
Fight?
Fight for what?
This was clearly a one-sided slaughter!
Wang Qiang and the others were covered in cold sweat.
Chen Lingyu tightly pressed her legs together, biting her lip in pain.
In fact, she had already peed herself when the grenade exploded.
But as a female building leader, she couldn't let anyone know about it!
"Wait, we came here with sincerity to cooperate. Hold on, we'll be there soon!"
Li Jian was anxious. He hurried over to Uncle You, "Please tell us, which floor is he on?"
Uncle You smirked, looking a bit smug.
"13th floor!"
The 13th floor. That meant they had to climb nine more stories.
With their stamina, it would probably take them a while to get there.
The group didn't dare delay. They hurriedly left their weapons behind and scrambled up the stairs.
