Although "Xiao Bin" is arrogant and tyrannical, he is ultimately just a thug.

Where did you kill someone?

He only meant to scare the old lady, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

He was so frightened that his lips trembled and he couldn't speak, and the ashtray in his hand was about to fall.

Hearing the commotion, the people who had been rummaging through drawers and cabinets quickly ran out.

Looking at the old woman lying in a pool of blood.

One of them frowned and asked with displeasure, "Xiao Bin, why did you kill her? Didn't you just ask for trouble?"

It has to be said that Xiao Bin's mental fortitude is truly remarkable.

Upon hearing this, he instantly calmed down and gripped the ashtray in his hand tightly again.

His gaze was resolute as he surveyed the crowd.

"Gentlemen, is there any law left these days? If we're talking about law, this is burglary, which is a very serious offense!"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Despite knowing that the collapse of order was a fact, the cold wave had been raging for so long.

But this was also the first time they had personally participated in a murder case.

I still felt somewhat conflicted and fearful.

Before everyone could calm down, "Xiao Bin" strode towards the man who was still unconscious on the ground.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes: To cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud!

"Sorry, we're all just trying to survive!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Clang!"

The tempered glass ashtray slammed into the old woman's son's head, eventually shattering completely.

The other four were startled again, and their eyes showed a hint of fear as they looked at "Xiao Bin".

The atmosphere was silent.

The five men stopped talking and quickly ransacked the old woman's house, taking away the little food and some jewelry she had.

As agreed, they divided these items equally.

The man who was dressed the thickest received the most supplies.

Xiao Bin and the others looked at him with considerable envy: "President Ren is truly still as sharp as ever. After so many years in the business world, his lock-picking skills are still as nimble as ever."

The man simply waved his hand modestly.

"One should never forget one's roots. The family's traditional skills cannot be lost, otherwise the ancestors will not bless me to become rich."

At this moment, people's mindset has been quietly changing.

He forced himself to accept the facts of the murder and burglary.

Their substantial haul led them to leave the old woman's house, chatting and laughing, leaving behind only a mess and two stiff corpses.

Next, the locksmith, known as "General Manager Ren," went to meet up with the survivors waiting in Building 9 to prepare for the next break-in.

People who make a living with their skills can thrive anywhere.

He might strike it rich tonight.

At this point, the survivors remained in perfect harmony and did not attack each other.

Their eyes remained fixed on the culprits behind the price gouging: the group that had used moral blackmail that morning.

...

Liu Kai sat in the warm living room, with Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai lying next to him.

Enjoying barbecue skewers while watching the spectacular performance transmitted back by drones.

Liu Kai overheard "Xiao Bin's" mockery of the older woman, and only then did he realize that the older woman and her son were both genuine oddballs.

So when I saw the leading middle-aged woman die suddenly, I felt incredibly relieved.

Right now.

The brutal looting continues elsewhere.

Gradually, Liu Kai discovered from many people that the strangest people weren't just the leading auntie's family.

Those who engage in moral blackmail during the day are all basically individuals with their own merits.

For example, some people who are well-off will still steal packages.

One of the survivors who broke in discovered the package that had been stolen last month.

In a fit of rage, he directly slapped the man several times.

Some people are too lazy to go out and actually take their trash to an underground parking garage without surveillance cameras to dump it, creating a terrible stench.

These are considered minor offenses; more serious offenses include failing to repay debts, fraudulently claiming poverty subsidies, and illegal fundraising...

Such a variety of human experiences are too numerous to mention.

Sure enough, shamelessness and freeloading are the family traditions of these people.

Perhaps only people like these would think of using such a despicable tactic as "moral blackmail."

They were already a nuisance to the residents because they frequently disturbed the peace with their square dancing.

Or perhaps because of one or another small matter, there are some hidden conflicts between them.

Now it's a blatant home invasion robbery.

Not only must they avenge the price gouging by roaming merchants, but they must also settle old personal scores!

After watching for an hour or so, the drone's battery was about to run out.

Liu Kai could only reluctantly finish work and go to sleep.

Tonight, the entire neighborhood was in an uproar, with cries of vandalism and looting echoing through the sky.

...

The next morning, the neighborhood returned to its original deathly silence.

Liu Kai got up on time to prepare the goods to be sold.

At the same time, out of curiosity, it activated its spatial scanning ability, taking in the entire neighborhood.

Darkness and evil are sealed within people's hearts.

These emotions are subject to various constraints in peacetime.

However, last night, this darkness and evil were fully unleashed!

It's as if the "Three Alls" policy of the past has been revived.

The robbers basically steal what they can, and smash what they can't steal on the spot.

Some houses were even deliberately set on fire, leaving them charred black.

The bodies, in various states of death, lay unburied in the messy house.

They just let the wind and frost blow in through the broken windows relentlessly erode them.

Liu Kai made a surprising discovery.

Overnight, the entire community lost more than 50 people!

Not only the victims of the robbery died, but also many people who participated in the robbery.

Some died in the desperate counterattacks of the robbed victims, while others died at the hands of their "comrades" due to disputes over the division of loot.
