Chapter 23 Establishing Prestige
Shi Jiaojiao took out a Tang sword from the space, but after a little hesitation, she changed it to a baseball bat.
At present, the government still has binding force, so it is better for her to keep a low profile.
She pushed open the corridor door.
There were five or six men standing outside the door. The one in the front had dyed yellow hair and was holding an iron rod that he had found from somewhere. He had one hand in his pocket and was looking Shi Jiaojiao up and down with a pair of white eyes.
When the other people saw the door open, their eyes sparkled and they quickly held the door shut.
During this period, their food reserves at home were getting less and less, and as soon as the goods were put on the shelves in the supermarkets, they were sold out, making it impossible to buy anything.
From the initial three meals a day to two meals a day, now I can only eat one meal before going to bed, and the amount of food is only enough to maintain 50% full. I feel so hungry that I have heartburn at night. I really can’t hold on any longer.
It was all thanks to Zhao Yueyue's reminder, otherwise they would not have noticed that someone on the 20th floor would secretly drive back in the middle of the night.
Gasoline is so precious now. If it weren’t for food, who would be willing to drive out?
A man in his thirties came forward, adjusted his glasses on his nose, and spoke with a smile.
"Little girl, we have no ill intentions. We just want to buy some food from you."
Several other people echoed this.
"Yes, don't worry, pretty girl, we can double the price, even triple it."
If you don't look at their feet pressing against the iron gate, they would seem to be pretending quite well.
But these people just talk nicely, saying they are buying, but what’s the difference between that and robbing?
Everyone knows that money is worthless now. Who are you taking for a fool?
Shi Jiaojiao sneered and refused directly, "No!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces immediately fell, and their eyes were full of unkindness.
Someone said in a sarcastic tone, "Beauty, if you have nothing to eat at home, do you need to install so many doors?"
"Someone sent you so many boxes of things some time ago. We are not blind." Others also started shouting.
"Unless you open the door so we can check."
"That's right, how else can you prove that you are telling the truth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shi Jiaojiao picking up a baseball bat and pointing it at him.
"I gave you face, didn't I? And I let you check? I refused politely, and you should have known when to stop. Don't say I don't have food. Even if I did, why should I give it to you? If there is no mirror at home, there must be urine, right? Go home and take a good look at yourself." Shi Jiaojiao said in a sharp tone.
Everyone's faces turned red and they were instantly furious.
At this time, the man with glasses stood up again, comforted everyone, and then looked at Shi Jiaojiao and gave her earnest advice.
"Little girl, you see, we are all forced to do this. We really have no other choice. Let me make the decision. You just need to take out half of the food. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you if everyone keeps gathering at your door.
Besides, this is a special situation, we should help each other even more at this time, can you bear to eat alone and watch people around you starve to death?"
Jiaojiao felt sick when she heard this, "Why can't you be so cruel? Am I your parents? Do I have to take care of your food and drink?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the glasses man's face suddenly froze, his expression became a little unhappy, and he shrugged his shoulders, indicating that if they disagreed, then he could do nothing about this group of people, and retreated behind everyone.
The yellow-haired man strode to the front holding an iron rod. He had originally disagreed with the other people's plan of using courtesy before force. He just did as he said and did it directly.
There are so many of them, can't they deal with two?
"Why are you still wasting time talking to them?"
He picked up an iron rod and slammed it against the iron door, then threatened directly.
"Bitch, if you know what's best for you, move your stuff out of the house, or I'll kill you."
Shi Jiaojiao's face darkened and she kicked the yellow-haired man directly.
The yellow-haired man was kicked to the ground before he could even swing the iron rod. The next moment, the baseball bat hit his arm directly.
With a clang, the iron rod fell out of his hand and onto the ground.
The yellow-haired man probably felt ashamed of being kicked by a little girl, so he climbed up with the help of the wall, spit on the ground, and cursed, "Fuck, you bitch, you don't want to be treated with respect, today I..."
Before he could finish his words, Shi Jiaojiao picked up the baseball bat and hit him hard, fast and hard.
Huangmao was beaten so badly that he couldn't stand up. The baseball bat kept hitting him on various parts of his body, so he could only hide with his head in his hands.
The few people didn't expect Shi Jiaojiao to suddenly attack, and they were also aroused. They rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward, and even wanted to rush into the room in the chaos.
Mu Ci stood at the door, looking at everyone with cold eyes.
He walked up to them in three or two steps, grabbed one person by the collar and punched him in the face, then suddenly turned around and kicked another person hard.
The two men moved swiftly, but avoided the vital points every time.
Since this group of people have already developed evil intentions, if we don't hurt them and scare them away at once, there will only be endless troubles in the future.
These men normally have a hard time running 800 meters, and they have been hungry for several days, so how could they possibly beat two people?
They all retreated into the corridor, tumbling and crawling. They didn't expect the two men to be so ruthless. They didn't even have the strength to fight back.
These are two devils!
Everyone's restless thoughts were extinguished in an instant. Before, everyone was more arrogant than the other, but now they all became quails.
"Do you still want food?" Shi Jiaojiao asked coldly.
The yellow-haired man was lying on the ground, unable to stand up. He was already weak, but his mouth was still hard, "I'm going to call the police. You beat me up like this, I won't let you go!"
"Call the police?" Shi Jiaojiao raised her lips. "You can try and see who the police will arrest when they come."
It is impossible to dispatch police during the day. There is no way to catch all the criminals. Besides, this is self-defense.
The others had bruised faces and noses, so they dared not even mention food and begged for mercy.
"Just treat us like shit. We were forced to do it. We won't dare to do it again next time."
"We know we were wrong, please let us go."
The man with glasses had secretly left at some point, no one knew.
Shi Jiaojiao sneered, "Get lost, if you come to my door and make noise again next time, I will make sure you come in vertically and leave horizontally."
The world is not in complete chaos yet, so don't even think about killing someone openly, unless you want to eat peanuts.
After getting permission, everyone hurriedly fled the scene, fearing that they would be left behind if they ran too slowly.
After everyone left, the two saw a man walking out from the corner of the stairs. He was tall and strong, with wheat-colored skin and a rough appearance.
He looked a little haggard, probably because he was very hungry during this period.
The man walked forward and saw the two men's guarded expressions. He quickly explained, "I wanted to come up to help, but I didn't expect that you guys had already solved the problem without even needing me."
Shi Jiaojiao was a little confused. Who was this person?
