Chapter 96 - Should They All Be Killed

 Zhang Yi got a satisfactory answer after going through some thoughts.

 That is, as long as he sticks to 25# and doesn't go out, utilizing the firepower in his hands and the strength of the safe house, even if the people from the other 29 buildings join together, they can't do anything to him.

 To put it bluntly, in today's situation where food was extremely scarce and the temperature was extremely cold, for a person to come out and take two steps in the bitter cold wind was a huge ordeal.

 Twenty men could not do the work of strength that one man did in days gone by.

 "My personal safety is not a problem. If not, I'll get on my motorcycle and kill them, using the weapons in my hands to fight them in a guerrilla war, and I can slowly wear them down."

 "Only doing so is really too troublesome, 29 buildings of people, how long do I have to kill them?"

 "But if I don't kill them, they will definitely come over and attack me."

 Zhang Yi mulled it over in his mind.

 Is it better to spend some time and energy to kill all the people in the neighborhood who were a threat to him, or to think of another way.

 In a short period of time, Zhang Yi did not make up his mind.

 He glanced at his cell phone and decided to talk to Jian Li as well.

 He had to see if all the building owners were thinking the same way.

 Zhang Yi opened the chat box with Li Jian.

 While he didn't pay any attention to Jian Li, Jian Li was very active and proactive in introducing their situation to Zhang Yi.

 "Mr. Zhang, I came here with sincerity, hoping to cooperate with you to build a harmonious home, a doomsday utopia."

 "We, 18#, have only had five deaths so far, and they passed away due to complications caused by the extremely cold temperatures."

 "Everyone is getting along harmoniously by distributing supplies through rational planning."

 "I think this is the best way to survive in the midst of the end times, preserving the fire for human civilization. It's also conducive to the reconstruction efforts after the snowstorm."

 "Right now, we lack effective food sources. Because we wish to cooperate with you, as a price, we can provide manpower and material resources to try to fulfill all your requirements."

 "And we can coordinate with other unit buildings for you to avoid conflicts."

 Zhang Yi felt much more comfortable after seeing this introduction from Jian Li.

 Worthy of being the financial director of a large group, this emotional intelligence is not much higher than that Chen Lingyu who is a micro-businessman.

 Clearly organized, the stakes are succinctly stated, and the tone of voice is not condescending.

 However, Zhang Yi is most concerned about, or he said that the harmonious home thing.

 It had been more than twenty days since the end of the world, and surprisingly, none of them had died in the conflict!

 Zhang Yi looked towards Zhou Ke'er who was giving him a heartfelt foot pinch, "Ke'er, do you know anything about the situation in 18#?"

 Zhou Ke'er thought for a moment and said, "I've heard a bit about it. It is said that the building manager of their building is a very appealing person, and after the end came, he united all the tenants and adopted a unified distribution of supplies, allowing the vast majority of people to live until now."

 Zhang Yi sighed, "Worthy of being a financial director, a management accountant not only needs to know how to manage, but also needs to know how to maximize benefits."

 In fact, it was Li Jian's approach that made the most sense.

 Other buildings, such as 25# where Zhang Yi was located, had wasted a lot of materials due to conflicts and internal conflicts.

 Theoretically, if a person didn't exercise (including brain exercises), the amount of energy consumed in a day was extremely small, and just one meal was enough.

 "Jian Li, is a talent."

 Zhang Yi sighed with emotion, but then added, "But trying to survive for a long time in the midst of the post-apocalyptic world like this is still impossible."

 Li Jian's ability lay in establishing order, and through his influence in 18#, he had united everyone early on.

 However, what about once they faced an attack from the outside world?

 The group of people who were accustomed to being at ease, when they encountered a villain like the Tianhe Gang or Chen Zhenghao, they were afraid that they would only be slaughtered.

 This is the same reason why the ancient Central Plains civilization had lost to the nomadic civilization many times.

 Without the protection of force, all the stability and harmony were false.

 Zhang Yi asked, "What will you do if I don't agree?"

 Jian Li pondered for a long time over there before replying to Zhang Yi with a message.

 "We uphold the spirit of friendly cooperation and offer you an invitation to cooperate."

 "I am deeply sorry if you refuse. But this does not mean that your mind will not change in the future, and I still look forward to the next opportunity for cooperation."

 Zhang Yi smiled, this official way of replying seemed very comforting.

 "What, don't you choose to attack us at 25#? Or won't you choose to join in when the other cell blocks attack?"

 Li Jian's reply was also very frank.

 "Our force is only used for self-preservation and we don't take the initiative to attack others."

 "It's not that we don't have the strength, but useless internal conflicts will only end up in a lose-lose situation."

 Zhang Yi wanted to give him a round of applause.

 Look at him, he was obviously a wimp, but he had to say it in such a righteous manner.

 Then again, 18#'s Harmonious Home had spent half a month in the End Times in a peaceful manner and indeed did not have the courage to get into a fight with others.

 Jian Li was a man of understanding.

 He was also clear that in case Zhang Yi really fought with others, they wouldn't be able to share much of the benefits even if they went over there.

 It would be better to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

 In case Zhang Yi lost and the snowmobile fell into other people's hands, he could still find other people to work with.

 "Wait for my reply."

 Zhang Yi finished sending this message and then went to look for others inside the friend request list.

 Previously, since there were too many people who wanted to add him as a friend to ask for supplies, he directly ignored all the friend requests.

 But now, it seemed that the entire neighborhood, every single person in every building wanted to talk to him and ask him to help collect supplies.

 Sure enough, Zhang Yi added a few more building heads behind him.

 What they expressed was almost no different from Chen Lingyu and Li Jian.

 All of them wished to cooperate with Zhang Yi and then requested him to help them gather supplies to keep them alive.

 However, the conditions they could give were extremely limited.

 There was only labor, women, and a promise not to fall on their sword when there was a conflict.

 The difference was just a good or bad attitude, nothing more.

 Zhang Yi lay on the sofa, tilted his head back to look at the ceiling, and murmured in a low voice, "There are only two options now, war or peace."

 "War, then I have to kill all those who are a threat to me. It's not impossible to do that, it's just too time and ammo consuming."

 "Killing a large number of occupants of 30 buildings in the entire neighborhood would deplete all that ammo I have stored. The stockpile of ammunition obtained from the police department itself isn't too much, just over a thousand rounds."

 "That's still the ideal situation to consider. I can kill them all if they come over and attack, but I don't dare risk going in if they hide inside the building and don't come out."

 "What's more, although I don't have any psychological shadow about killing. But it's not like I'm some kind of psychopathic butcher either."

 "Most of the people in the neighborhood don't have much of a grudge against me, so if I were to kill them all, it would still be slightly unforgiving."

 "Kam, maybe I'll even get myself into mental problems by then."

 Zhang Yi rubbed his temples, he felt that killing the entire neighborhood was not a good option.

 That was also really too troublesome.
