"Hurry up, or you might miss out."
Inside room 401, two figures were rapidly approaching the kitchen, only to find Xiao Chen inside.
His brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Who are you? Get lost."
Hearing their words, Xiao Chen's expression darkened, and he turned to look at them.
They had already been recognized. These two were among the group of people who had cut off his limbs in his past life. One was the owner of the fifth-floor apartment, named Cai Kunkun, and the other was his friend Lin An'an.
What are you doing here?
Xiao Chen asked calmly, not taking their words to heart at all. He knew that even if everyone in the building attacked him together, they wouldn't be a match for him, so why should he listen to them?
"You're asking for it, aren't you? You didn't listen to me."
Lin An'an angrily swung the kitchen knife in her hand at Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen took a step back, blocked the blow, and then kicked the kitchen knife out of her hand, sending it flying straight into the wall, where it was impossible to remove.
Lin An'an's expression changed, and she finally realized how powerful Xiao Chen was. She froze on the spot, not daring to move.
"I won't repeat myself a third time. What are you doing here?"
Xiao Chen asked without changing his expression. The people in front of him were still somewhat useful to him, so Xiao Chen would not kill them for the time being.
“I told you, I told you, wasn’t Zhou Xueru killed by Zhou Xun? After hearing the news, the residents of the fourth and fifth floors became interested in Zhou Xueru’s body. Only after Zhou Xun escaped did we dare to sneak here, wanting to take some of Zhou Xueru’s flesh and blood.”
Cai Kunkun quickly stepped forward and said that judging from Xiao Chen's kick, Xiao Chen was definitely not someone the two of them could afford to mess with, so he quickly told them everything they knew.
"As expected."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately confirmed his inner thoughts, and then walked towards the door, disappearing from Cai Kunkun and Lin An'an's sight.
After seeing Xiao Chen leave, Cai Kunkun and Lin An'an went to the wall and struggled to pull the kitchen knife out.
Then they found Zhou Xueru's body, although only her head remained.
"Do we really want to take this head back?"
Lin An'an looked at Zhou Xueru's head and asked with some physical discomfort, not knowing why he felt uneasy.
“Take it back. It’s fine for making soup. We’ve been starving for so long. As long as we can survive, I’d even eat human flesh.”
Cai Kunkun said with a fierce look that they hadn't eaten their fill for a long time, which was why they dared to take the risk of taking back the portion of Zhou Xueru's food that Zhou Xun hadn't finished.
"Sure enough, Zhou Xun turned into a snow demon after eating Zhou Xueru's flesh and blood. But why didn't Lin An'an and Cai Kunkun turn into snow demons?"
Xiao Chen returned home and began to ponder. However, he figured the snow demon was probably nothing special in his eyes, so he wasn't too worried. He was just a little curious about how the snow demon was formed.
"However, it's time for me to learn a martial art."
At this moment, Xiao Chen thought of something and began to search through the Creation Ring. He realized that he was only relying on his spiritual power to attack and did not have any martial arts skills for cultivating immortality.
Martial arts are divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with the Heavenly Rank above Immortal. However, with Xiao Chen's current foundation, he cannot cultivate anything too advanced; if he did, his spiritual power probably wouldn't be able to support it.
Soon Xiao Chen found a martial art called Iron Armor Technique. After practicing it, he could transform his skin into a thick layer of iron armor, increasing his defense.
In addition, Xiao Chen also found a sword technique called "Draw Sword Slash". Both of them are genuine high-grade Xuan-level martial arts techniques.
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen began to focus on practicing martial arts. However, it was not easy to practice in the house, so after pondering for a while, Xiao Chen went to the rooftop to practice.
On the other side, Chen Shuisi and Xu Qing's situation improved considerably after receiving financial assistance from Huang Ziying, a devoted admirer of Chen Shuisi, but they could only afford to eat one meal a day.
Moreover, the temperature had plummeted to minus forty degrees Celsius.
"I even suspect that the higher-ups knew about this all along and didn't tell us in advance so that we could survive."
Xu Qing and Shen Shuisi huddled together in bed, shivering from the cold even under three thick blankets.
"I think so too. It would be nice if we had something to keep warm right now."
Chen Shuisi said with some longing, which aroused Xu Qing's curiosity.
"Did you continue to ask Xiao Chen? Maybe he's interested now."
Xu Qing quickly asked, but received a negative answer from Chen Shuisi.
"I asked, but Xiao Chen is like someone who eats steel bars every day, a total straight man of steel."
Shen Shuisi said with a resentful look, which made Xu Qing ponder.
"Why don't we just storm over to Xiao Chen's house and try to get him to open the door? Once he does, we can rush in. Maybe then Xiao Chen will take both of us?"
Xu Qing suggested it, but Shen Shuisi immediately refused.
"This isn't the best-case scenario. If Xiao Chen kicks us out, we'll be in big trouble. Right now, Huang Ziying is providing us with food, but if Huang Ziying sees this, she might not be able to support us anymore."
Shen Shuisi shook her head and said that Xu Qing was speechless. If she had known, she would have made Shen Shuisi agree to Xiao Chen's request sooner. She knew that Xiao Chen was extremely enthusiastic about Shen Shuisi before, and he was almost always available whenever she called.
"Let's wait until Huang Ziying is no longer able to go before we go to find Xiao Chen."
In episode 1703, Wang Ba was so cold that he curled up in his blankets. He was even worse off than Shen Shuisi and Xu Qing, as his blankets only had three layers and weren't even that thick.
"Ugh, it's so cold! When will this awful weather finally stop?"
Wang Ba was shivering with cold inside his bed. He had already blocked the front door of his house. He knew that taking half of Tang Xiaohu's food would attract the attention of most people, and he wanted to prevent others from breaking in and stealing it.
So Wang Ba had already blocked his own front door with a lot of things.
Even under these circumstances, Wang Ba still didn't forget to search for messages in the group chat, and soon he found a photo posted by Xiao Chen, which showed a warm campfire.
Soon, Wang Ba had a lot on his mind. After finding Xiao Chen's photo, he calculated the probability of his attempt failing. Then, Wang Ba crawled out of bed. It was really cold, so he put on about six layers of clothing, wrapping himself up like a thick dumpling. Only then did Wang Ba grab his large machete and head towards room 2301, where Xiao Chen was.
