Chapter 36 Yes, it’s for self-defense
"ha!"
Meng Ci hid the gun under his pillow. The troops distributing food outside had probably left, and the sounds of the residents' dispute gradually weakened.
The world is finally quiet.
Meng Ci stretched lazily, curled up in the quilt and continued to sleep.
However, I hadn't fallen asleep for long when I heard various knocks on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Zila zila, Meng Ci, Meng Ci, what are you doing!”
"Meng Ci."
Meng Ci was really tired. He heard all kinds of noisy sounds while half asleep and half awake.
Meng Ci's reason told him that he should stand up and beat these people up.
However, at this moment, Meng Ci felt like he was being possessed by a ghost, or was in a nightmare, and he couldn't wake up for a long time.
Even though his mind was telling him that someone was banging on the door and calling him, he should wake up.
But he couldn't get up, and it felt like something heavy was pressing down on him.
After trying his best, Meng Ci finally woke up.
"I am here."
After taking several deep breaths, Meng Ci stood up, took the intercom on the bedside table, and pressed the talk button.
Shen Que on the other end of the intercom let out a long sigh and paused in his action of opening the door.
If this guy didn't reply, he wanted to drive that group of people away, then break into his house and see what this guy was like.
"There are probably about ten men and women outside your door, some holding kitchen knives, and some holding stools."
"But his fighting ability is about average. From the looks of it, he wants to buy food from you."
Shen Que quickly explained the situation outside in two sentences.
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Meng Ci said.
You're still buying food. Can you use a kitchen knife to buy food?
Fortunately, I had asked the agent to replace the door and do special treatment on the door frame and other parts.
There is also an iron sliding door outside the security door.
Otherwise, at this rate, the door would have been knocked open by them long ago.
Putting on a black coat and putting the pistol on his waist, Meng Ci picked up the long knife at the entrance, opened the security door, and confronted them through the iron sliding door.
The two people who were knocking on the door were caught off guard and almost hit Meng Ci's long sword with their strong collision.
"Oh my god!" The two people jumped far away in fright.
When the people outside saw the long knife in Meng Ci's hand, they couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Meng Ci opened the iron sliding door, walked out, and closed both doors tightly.
"Is there something wrong?" Meng Ci walked out step by step with a knife in his hand.
His eyes were fierce and his voice was cold.
These dozen people were also afraid of death, and when they saw the knife in Meng Ci's hand, they retreated one after another.
Even if Meng Ci opened the door, they didn't dare to rush in.
He didn't stop until Meng Ci stood at the door and closed the iron sliding door.
Then, Shen Que next to him also opened the door.
He was holding a butcher knife in his hand. It was probably very old, with a mixture of rust and blood on it, which was very creepy.
"Didn't we agree to open the door together in five minutes? Why did you come out so early?"
Shen Que didn't even glance at the group of people, but instead became polite with Meng Ci.
After Meng Ci answered the intercom, the two agreed to come out together. At that time, Chen Que was wearing a pair of slippers.
Then he heard Meng Ci say that he wanted to change his clothes and asked him to wait for five minutes.
Shen Que didn't think much about it and went back to the bedroom to change his shoes.
I had just put on my shoes when I heard something wrong and hurried over to open the door.
Why is this person so impulsive? What if he encounters danger if he goes out alone?
Meng Ci touched his nose and said, "Isn't this something I can solve by myself?"
Meng Ci thought that with Chen Que as his solid backing, he could go out and try to show some ruthlessness to see if he could scare them.
Let them know that you are not someone to be trifled with, and they won’t dare to cause trouble to them easily in the future.
If he fails to deter the enemy, it won't be too late for Shen Que to come out then.
Seeing these two people chatting as if they were alone, the group of people were naturally unhappy.
"We heard you guys went out to look for food last night, so we wanted to buy some."
The man who knocked on the door before coughed lightly and spoke.
Although the army delivered food this morning, they only gave us three bags of instant noodles. How can that last for three days?
They had been starving in the previous three days. If they continued to be hungry, they would not be able to wait until the heavy rain stopped.
So after hearing someone say that 1706 went out and found food last night, a few people decided to come up and take a look.
Meng Ci raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"Heard? Who told you that?"
"It doesn't matter who said it, what matters is not to be shameless."
"That's right, don't force us to go in and rob. We won't be so easy to deal with then."
Even though they didn't say who said it, Meng Ci still saw Li Ping and Zhao Ze in the crowd.
Li Ping's psychological quality is average, and when she heard this, she clearly took a step back.
You're really admitting your guilt!
Meng Ci chuckled and rubbed the long knife in his right hand against his left palm twice.
"Buying food?"
"Look at what you have in your hands. Do you look like you are here to buy something?"
"It seems like they are here to rob us!"
When these people saw Meng Ci smiling, they thought he was willing to buy things for them, and they all smiled happily.
"Aren't we doing this for self-defense? You know it's very dangerous everywhere!"
"Yes, that's right."
"It's just for self-defense, don't think too much about it."
As they spoke, they hid the weapons they had taken behind their backs.
"Little brother, look at what food you have, I'll buy it for five times the price."
"Little brother, I'm not greedy. I'll take whatever you're willing to give me. Don't worry about the money."
“Little brother…”
"What if I don't want to give it?"
Amidst the chatter of the crowd, Meng Ci suddenly spoke.
"I knew it, little brother..."
"What!"
"You won't give it to me?"
The smiles on their faces froze and they looked at Meng Ci in disbelief.
"We are all residents of the same building. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Why don't you give it to us?"
"That's right, you helped us this time, and we will help you next time."
"Little brother, don't be too selfish."
…
Meng Ci was also hungry and had had enough of their moral blackmail, so he drew his sword and faced them coldly.
"My things, I give them to you if I want to, and I don't give them to you if I don't want to. Why do you care?"
"Besides, whether you guys can survive the heavy rain is another matter."
"If I can't make it, my things will just be fed to the dogs."
When everyone heard what Meng Ci said, they were furious.
"Who are you calling a dog?"
"Who do you think will die?"
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you scolding me?"
"Am I scolding anyone?" Meng Ci glanced at the few people coldly.
"I was clearly scolding shameless people."
"You can't find food yourself, so you come and steal other people's food!"
"How can there be such shameless people in the world? And a group of them at that."
Everyone was inspired by Meng Ci and expressed their desire to teach Meng Ci a lesson.
"Okay, come on then."
Meng Ci took a step forward with the knife, and several people stepped back unconsciously.
The most powerful weapon in their hands is the kitchen knife, but Meng Ci has a knife about thirty to forty centimeters long. No matter how you look at it, they are at a disadvantage.
Some people in the crowd began to instigate.
"Why retreat? If we don't take their food, we will all starve to death."
"Yeah, it's death either way, why not give it a try."
"I think he is just a weak man with a strong appearance. He may not dare to take action."
