76.The Trina Gang in Building 26

Zhang Yi explained to Zhou Ke'er what had just happened.

"It was the workers from the neighboring 26# apartment!"

"Recently, a new development in the vicinity attracted a lot of workers who rented housing nearby."

Zhou Ke'er was curious, "Our neighborhood is considered high-end. Can they afford it?"

Zhang Yi replied, "When ten people share a room, do you think it's expensive?"

Zhou Ke'er nodded in understanding, "I see."

Then, her expression turned serious. "So, that means they are even more dangerous than Chen Zhenghao!"

Zhang Yi nodded in agreement.

"Chen Zhenghao is just a street thug. In peaceful times, ordinary people wouldn't dare to mess with him, which is why they were afraid. But now, everyone's struggling to survive. If it weren't for the guns he has, someone would have killed him by now."

"But these workers are different. They do manual labor every day, so they have much better physical strength than regular people, and their combat skills are more formidable."

"And they all know each other and are numerous. They can easily do whatever they want."

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and sighed, "Thank goodness I got rid of that fat guy who played with explosives yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully at night."

Zhou Ke'er asked, "So what do we do next? Should we seek revenge against them?"

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, "Of course we should seek revenge!"

"But there's no way I'm going over to their turf. That would be unwise. Look at them; I killed more than half of them. How do you think they'd react?"

Zhou Ke'er was speechless. "But you have a gun!"

"Having a gun isn't enough!"

Zhang Yi said firmly, "Even if I killed them all, if I were to take a hit from a shovel, I'd consider myself at a loss."

Zhou Ke'er rolled her eyes, "You are too cautious, too prudent!"

"But if you don't go out to confront them, how are you going to get revenge? They don't look like people who fear death; they seem like desperados!"

After all, who would blow up a building within the apartment complex? One misstep, and they might bury themselves.

Zhang Yi stroked his chin, already having a plan in mind.

"It seems that if we want to live in peace from now on, we'll have to find some people to use as cannon fodder."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yi picked up his phone and opened the owners' group for 25#.

Due to the recent explosion, all the neighbors had been awakened and the group chat was in chaos.

"What was that sound just now? An earthquake? Or a missile attack?"

"The sound came from the building; could it be a meteorite falling from the sky? If it wasn't a meteorite, how could the temperature suddenly change like that? Maybe humanity will go extinct, just like the dinosaurs."

People inside the group chat were speculating about all sorts of things.

Zhang Yi said, "The workers from 26# broke into our building and tried to kill people and steal supplies. I discovered them in time and drove them away."

"Zhang Meng from the 16th floor has already been killed."

"As for that sound, it was from them using explosives."

The neighbors in the group chat were immediately alarmed.

"What? We just got rid of Chen Zhenghao, and now those thugs from next door are back?"

"They are ruthless. I've heard that there are always several groups of people fighting at the construction site over there."

"How did the people from 26# get here?"

Zhang Yi explained, "They dug a tunnel in the snow from below and made their way up from the first floor."

Immediately, someone nervously suggested, "Quick, collapse that tunnel and lock the door!"

Zhang Yi replied, "It won't work; those doors are flimsy. Even if you barricade them, they can still climb in through the windows on the 4th floor."

The neighbors were all on edge. On this night, if Zhang Yi hadn't driven those people away, they might have broken into their homes and killed them.

"What should we do? How can we defeat those laborers?"

"Half the people in our building have died, and most of those remaining are elderly, women, and children."

That was true; the people who could contribute had mostly died near Zhang Yi's apartment.

At this point, someone said, "Thank goodness we have Zhang Yi!"

"Zhang Yi, you're amazing. You drove so many people away all by yourself."

"With you here, our safety is guaranteed. Zhang Yi, you're our hero!"

After a few people expressed their gratitude, others also realized.

Now, Zhang Yi was the most powerful force in their building, and he had a gun. So having him deal with the workers from the neighboring building was the best choice.

Zhang Yi found this scene quite amusing.

Previously, they had criticized him every day in the group chat, calling him selfish and shameless. Most families had lost someone to Zhang Yi, and they hated him to the bone.

Yet now, they were in need of his help and were calling him a hero.

Did they really think Zhang Yi was a fool?

Zhang Yi smirked and said, "I've used up many weapons dealing with them, and now it's hard to ensure my own safety. Everyone will have to look out for themselves!"

Why should I protect you? What does your life or death have to do with me?

After saying this, Zhang Yi fell silent.

The people in the group chat were excited, and they all began pleading for Zhang Yi to protect them.

"Zhang Yi, you can't just watch us die!"

"If we all die, there will be only the two of you left alive. Won't you feel lonely?"

"If we all die, sooner or later, you two will become targets. How many people do you think will be watching you?"

Seeing these messages, Zhang Yi's eyes grew icy.

That statement was correct; now, countless people were keeping an eye on him. After all, the video he had sent to the group chat was most likely shared with neighbors outside.

Seeing the reactions, most people from the surrounding apartment buildings might come to 25# to steal everything from him.

But Zhang Yi didn't say anything.

Instead, Uncle You sent a private message, expressing his concern and asking if Zhang Yi needed help.

"I know those dogs from 26#; I've even had a drink with them before!"

"Those bastards actually set their sights on you. I won't let them off."

"Zhang Yi, if you have any ideas, tell me. I'll help you deal with them."

Zhang Yi smiled.

"Uncle You, they have quite a few people, right?"

Uncle You replied, "Yeah, there were originally more than thirty of them. But recently, about ten have died, so there are still around twenty-something left."

"I know their leader, Huang Tianfang; we were chatting a while back. But these bastards have caused so many deaths in 26#."

"Ugh, I wouldn't associate with that gang of bastards!"

Uncle You and the workers had all come from the countryside. However, the workers mingled in society, while Uncle You had served in the army for many years. Their thoughts were on completely different levels.
