The people outside the door had different expressions, each with their own ulterior motives.
Of course we want the supplies, but we also need to save our lives. If we risk our lives to be the vanguard and charge in, only to die before we even get a grain of rice, wouldn't that just be letting the rest of us benefit?
"Lu Sheng, let's talk this out." Su Zicheng mingled at the back of the crowd, secretly stirring things up. "Your supplies are enough for four people to eat for a year. But the weather is so hot, the food will spoil soon, and it's a waste if you can't finish it."
“If we weren’t starving, we wouldn’t have come to you to borrow food.”
Hiding behind others, Su Zicheng cautiously watched Lu Sheng's movements. "We're all classmates, so why don't you lend us some today? It's better than letting it sit and get moldy, right?"
The remaining people were successfully aroused.
These beasts deserve to die! They'd rather let the grain rot and mold than share even a little bit!
"Do you have any humanity at all? All this food will just rot if you can't finish it all. Would it kill you to share some with us?"
"Don't be so selfish! What goes around comes around!"
"Stop wasting your breath on them!"
Lu Sheng sneered, "A loan is only a loan if it's repaid. What are you going to use to repay it? The gigolos you squeeze from women every day with your sweet talk?"
People have pride, just as trees have bark. Even though dignity is less than toilet paper in the apocalypse, being exposed in front of so many people would still make anyone lose face.
Once a heartthrob in esports and a campus star, the object of countless girls' dreams and admiration, now all he needs is a steamed bun and a bowl of rice for him to call you "baby" with deep affection.
There are many girls in this building who like Su Zicheng. Besides Li Xiang, there are several others who are willing to save up their supplies for him.
It's no secret that Su Zicheng lives off women in the building.
But when Lu Sheng pointed it out, a few meaningful laughs rippled through the crowd.
"Lu Sheng, you dare say another word and see what happens!" Su Zicheng, enraged, rushed forward and pointed at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng opened the door and chopped off Su Zicheng's outstretched index finger with a single stroke. "Try pointing again? Let's see how many fingers you have that I can chop off."
"You bitch!" Su Zicheng clutched his blood-soaked right hand, gasping for breath in pain.
The severed index finger rolled to Lu Sheng's feet, where she kicked it down the stairs.
"Anyone else who needs to borrow grain, step forward."
Lu Sheng's long sword was still stained with blood, her bewitching eyes were as cold as ice, and her slender body exuded a terrifying killing intent.
The group, who had just been confident in their numbers and wanted to charge the tower, suddenly lost their nerve.
This woman is truly ruthless; she can even chop up the person she's liked for three years with a single blow. Wouldn't they just be offering themselves up if they rushed in?
Seeing that things were not going well, Bai Shuangshuang was the first to try to slip away.
Biu!
Lu Sheng squinted and shot an arrow into Bai Shuangshuang's left knee.
The composite crossbow had tremendous penetrating power, and with Lu Sheng pulling the winch to its full extent, the arrow shattered Bai Shuangshuang's kneecap.
"ah!"
Bai Shuangshuang lost her balance and rolled down the stairs like a rag.
The reason for keeping Su Zicheng and Bai Shuangshuang alive was to let them experience firsthand the agony of not having enough to eat and living on the brink of death in the apocalypse.
Originally, Lu Sheng was quite happy to see these two suffer the humiliation of being ridden and stabbed by thousands for a bite to eat, but if they got too big for their britches, then she wouldn't be so ruthless.
One lost a finger, the other a broken knee; the end times are far from over, and the good days are yet to come.
Having witnessed Lu Sheng's swift action, the remaining people fell silent, no matter how much they coveted the supplies on the fourth floor, they dared not make any rash moves.
As soon as Lu Sheng and his group closed the gate, the group of people, as if granted a pardon, scattered in twos and threes like birds and beasts.
You won't die from starving yourself for a while, but if this evil star targets you, you'll die instantly.
...
Back in 403, Lu Sheng suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.
She has allergic rhinitis and is particularly sensitive to temperature changes; she will sneeze and tear up if the temperature drops even a few degrees.
I glanced at the thermometer on the table; the room temperature was 24 degrees Celsius.
The outdoor temperature has been consistently above 60 degrees Celsius for the past few days, and the included thermostat has kept the room temperature around 28 degrees Celsius. But now the room temperature has suddenly dropped several degrees…
Has the extreme cold weather arrived earlier than usual?
Lu Sheng stroked the cat, his expression turning serious.
Compared to extreme heat, extreme cold is the true hell on earth. In temperatures of minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, water freezes instantly and everything falls silent. Finding supplies becomes several times more difficult than during periods of extreme heat.
In the previous life, the temperature plummeted overnight, catching many people completely unprepared, and they died in their sleep. Even if some were lucky enough to have electric heating equipment at home, it was utterly ineffective against a room temperature of minus fifty degrees Celsius, and many people died in bed with their electric heaters on.
The market for traditional heating equipment and fuels is almost monopolized by the wealthy, leaving the poor to gamble their lives with sheer righteousness.
Although a batch of temperature-controlled fabric was confiscated from the CEO, Hextech couldn't withstand the real damage from the extreme cold of hell.
"There are probably still some things left in the villa that we didn't bring back. Should we go back again tonight?"
Back in 402, Lu Sheng took the initiative to propose an operation.
There was some smokeless coal in the villa, but we didn't take it last time because there wasn't enough space in the car.
The remaining three also wanted to go up the mountain to find some more supplies, and they unanimously agreed on the spot.
As night fell, Lu Sheng, Xu Yi, and Xiao Yu took their tools and went downstairs.
"Huh?" Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise, pointing to the spot where Lin Dong fell from the building that morning. "Why does it look like there's another body here?"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Qin beast.
All four of his limbs were broken, and he was finally stabbed in the neck.
Lu Sheng calmly took out his car keys. "Having offended so many people, naturally someone will take advantage of his weakness to kill him."
Since someone is willing to do it, it saves her the trouble of doing it herself.
Stepping over the corpses of the Qin beasts, the three of them each drove a car towards Xiling Mountain.
I sent Sun Tiantian to guard the house today. Firstly, she has to do physical labor tonight, moving things around, and secondly, Xiao Yu is practically growing mold at home.
Moreover, we just gave these people a warning today, so they shouldn't cause trouble anytime soon.
I haven't been here for a few days, and the trees on the mountain have grown wildly. Their tangled roots have pushed their way out of the ground, making the already narrow stone path even more difficult to walk on.
Lu Sheng and his two companions finally managed to park the car halfway up the mountain, and the remaining few hundred meters had to be covered on foot.
Xiao Yu took off her hat and walked ahead, acting as a human street lamp.
The three of them took stock of the remaining supplies in the villa again.
There were 50 boxes each of smokeless coal and combustible wood, as well as a box of insulation boards for wall insulation. A well-drilling device in the backyard was also removed by Xiao Yu.
After loading everything onto the truck, everyone was exhausted and covered in sweat.
Lu Sheng took out a few cans of soda from the car refrigerator, and the three of them sat on the hood to catch their breath.
Just as Lu Sheng took a sip, he suddenly smelled a fishy, foul odor, and there seemed to be a sound coming from the dense canopy above.
She subconsciously looked up, and a glob of wet, sticky fluid fell onto her thigh.
