Since the local area network was installed, everyone shares information in the group chat every day, mostly about the zombie situation around them. A few optimistic people also crack jokes and share anecdotes to lighten the mood.
But 21 days have passed since the zombie virus outbreak, and some families have run out of supplies and are seeking help in online groups.
Since no zombies have appeared in the villa area yet, the property management still sends people to patrol. At first, the property management would help these people, but later everyone's supplies became less and less. A month later, there were more and more calls for help, and the property management had no choice but to say that they were also out of supplies.
There is actually a supermarket in the villa area. Since it is in the suburbs, you have to drive to go shopping. For convenience, a supermarket was opened in the service center of the villa to provide daily necessities, small appliances and fresh meat, fruits and vegetables.
The owner, also surnamed Li, is a homeowner in the villa area and is usually all smiles. He lives in the center of the villa complex, surrounded by a small river about 10 meters wide, connected by a bridge.
Mr. Li, you have so many snacks in your shop, could you please help us out?
Someone tagged him in the group chat, and a bunch of people agreed.
Mr. Li has not responded.
Some people are sarcastic and cynical, and that's what happens when you're rich but heartless. They're all smiles when they're making money, but they disappear as soon as you need a share.
Mr. Li, we know you're home. We saw you having a feast the other day. We're all eating coarse food and vegetables, which is fine, but some people are starving to death. Please be kind and give some alms. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. May the zombies stay far away from you.
Yes, Mr. Li, you have so much stock, even if you give some to each family, it won't be enough to go around. Once the government sends people to rescue us, won't we all survive?
Mr. Li, you'd better be sensible. Think about it, can your family stand against a whole group of people? What's the use of having a lot of things if you lose your life? They'll all belong to others anyway. If you share some, at least you can save your family.
It was Li Biao who said this. After he sent out this message with great force, there was a moment of silence in the group.
He then added: "Considering we all share the same surname, the property management and I will come to collect the supplies tomorrow morning. Please bring out all the supplies."
There was still no reply from Mr. Li in the group.
Li Biao felt as if his words had fallen to the ground, and he had lost face. Just as he was about to lash out, he saw someone named "Fat Chicken Flies to the Sky" say: He left the group.
Sure enough, when everyone tried to tag Boss Li in the group chat, they couldn't find him anymore.
Since they're so ungrateful, let's just go tomorrow.
Brothers who want to go, let's meet at Boss Li's house at 9 am tomorrow.
Brother Li's noble character has caused some people to jeer.
The group chat is full of messages praising Brother Li's noble character.
In just 21 days, they've turned this blatant robbery into something noble.
Ye Yunyi's family was outraged and discussed whether they should just dismantle the local area network.
“Tearing them down won’t work either. After this stunt, they’ll automatically regroup regardless of whether there’s internet or not. At least with internet, we can keep in touch privately and give each other a heads-up. We need to stick together. If we let them take us down one by one like this, who knows when it will be our turn,” Ye Yunyi said.
But we've only just moved here and don't know many people yet. However, when Ye's parents were renovating, they often went to buy things there and became quite familiar with this Mr. Li.
“I’ve already informed Mr. Li, and he said not to worry, they won’t be afraid even if they go tomorrow. He thanked us for informing him and told us to take care of ourselves,” Mr. Ye said.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing what Boss Li said.
Ye Yunyi contacted Xiao Deng, who said they were aware of the situation. In the current circumstances, the property management company was powerless and unable to manage the situation any longer. It was estimated that even routine patrols would cease in the future.
There are no zombies in the neighborhood, and if people really gather in groups, they are powerless to stop them.
Ye Yunyi understood Xiao Deng very well; he was telling the truth. If they tried to stop him, not only would they fail, but they would also suffer in the end.
Without the constraints of the law, these people's evil can be fully unleashed, and in the future, it will likely become a world where the strong prey on the weak.
After reminding each other to be careful, Ye Yunyi and Xiao Deng went to practice boxing and archery with their families.
After receiving cheers and applause in the group chat, Li Biao was quite pleased with himself. He told his mother to bring out the last of the meat in the house and eat and drink to his heart's content, thinking that there would be something to eat tomorrow, so why should he deprive himself? The family flattered him even more, and he drank and sang songs, feeling that his good days were just around the corner.
The next morning, a large crowd indeed gathered in the neighborhood, forming a formidable force.
They swaggered to Mr. Li's villa area and found that the bridge was broken.
Damn it, their cursers, they should have left last night instead of waiting until morning to give this old bastard time to prepare.
Everyone cursed and swore at the 10-meter-wide river, unable to cross it for a moment.
Beyond the bridge were two more iron gates, and inside the house were several large dogs barking wildly at the other side. Some of the more timid ones, hearing the barking, had already decided to turn back.
Li Biao stared fiercely at the opposite side, pondering how to get across.
"Brother Biao, what do we do?"
"Damn it, this river is so wide, and it's so cold, I can't even swim across it."
“The property management has a boat, let’s go borrow it.”
"Yes, yes, let's borrow a boat."
Next to Boss Li's house was another villa. Only two families lived on this small central island, reportedly Boss Li and his brother. They were standing on the second floor of the villa, coldly watching them.
“Brother, they said they’re going to borrow a boat, what should we do?” said Li Huaqiang, the younger brother of Boss Li.
"Don't be afraid. If they dare to come by boat, I'll sink them in the river."
"Uh-huh."
Sure enough, someone borrowed a boat shortly afterward. It was called a boat, but it was actually just a small boat in the middle of the lake for easy maintenance, and it could only seat a few people.
"The boat is here, Brother Biao, please." The lackeys knew that Li Biao still needed to take the lead, so they all flattered him.
Before Li Biao boarded the ship, he said to Boss Li, Li Huasheng, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to drink the penalty cup. When we get here, you won't have anything left." After saying that, he laughed loudly and pointed to a few people to follow him onto the ship.
The boat was too small to fit four people, so one person got off and the other two rowed. Li Biao stood on the boat like a general, as if he could get his hands on Boss Li's things as soon as he got across.
The two rowers were named Jiang Jun and Tian Hua. They were rowing hard when a large rock came crashing down on them as they reached the middle of the river.
On the roof of Boss Li's villa, there was a catapult. Li Biao was quite skilled. When he saw the stone coming towards him, he ducked forward. Tian Hua, who was rowing in front, lost his balance and fell into the river. Jiang Jun, who was rowing behind, yelled that his leg had been hit and was now clutching his foot and howling.
