Chapter 25 Being Targeted

People who can afford to live in high-end residential areas are not of bad status or quality. The upper-middle class circle in City A is very small, and you will see them everywhere. There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

During the period when the water supply was just cut off, everyone was still concerned about their own face and maintaining their image. I don’t know whether they were doing this behind the scenes, but at least everyone seemed to be doing well on the surface, and no one threw objects from high places in public.

With the cheating artifact called space, Shuxin and the others don't have any such worries at all. If they throw things into the second layer of space, they will be automatically degraded by space.

As the rainstorm lasted longer and longer, the water level in the community gradually rose, and more and more people's homes were flooded. Some people moved from their homes to higher-level corridors for temporary shelter, while some people moved into other people's homes with money, promises of benefits, or threats.

Those who dare to let others live in their homes at this time, whether because they are too greedy, not very smart, or just timid, will not have a good ending in the end.

The heavy rain has been going on for a month and there is no sign of it stopping. With the whole country and even the whole world suffering from the disaster, if you still dare to let other unfamiliar people into your home, it is no different from inviting a wolf into your house.

It is difficult for these kinds of people to survive long under the cruel rules of survival in the apocalypse.

The latest relief supplies distributed by the government are vastly different from the first, and it is clearly required that the next supply of supplies must be exchanged for an equivalent amount of cash or gold.

Ever since the news came out that some people's collected supplies were robbed on the way home, everyone's first reaction after receiving the supplies is to hold them tightly in their arms, carefully and vigilantly observe the surroundings, and quickly rush home, for fear that they will be the next unlucky person.

After a few times of picking up supplies, Shuxin and his friends did not go again. On the one hand, it was inconvenient to go out in the heavy rain as they would be wet and blown by the wind. However, they were not short of supplies, so there was no need for them to suffer this.

On the other hand, they already have a pretty good idea of ​​the situation outside, so there is no point in going out. Instead of going out to get supplies, they might as well spend two or three more hours training at home.

Another half month passed, the official distribution of supplies stopped, social order fell into complete chaos, and the community began to become uneasy. During this period, four or five groups of people came to knock on the door at the entrance of the 24th floor.

The attitude of the people who came changed from friendly words at the beginning to coercion and inducement, and finally to outright coercion.

There is only one goal, which is to live on the 24th and 25th floors and seize the supplies they have stored.

The water has already reached the middle of the ninth floor. At the current rate, it will soon reach higher places. Zai Xinyuan and his gang who live on the sixteenth floor clearly feel the threat. The sixteenth floor is no longer a 100% safe place. They want to move to higher floors and have set their sights on the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth floors.

They observed that the people on the 24th and 25th floors had only gone down once to collect relief supplies. They had not been out for such a long time, so they must have a lot of supplies at home. If they could break in successfully, they would definitely be able to share a lot of benefits.

I have also seen them using rubber boats before. The importance of rubber boats during floods is self-evident. Having a rubber boat is equivalent to having an additional means of saving lives.

There were five of them in total, including Zai Xinyuan, who were roommates in a university dormitory. It happened to be one of their birthdays before the rainstorm, so they wanted to find a place in the dormitory to have some fun and play all night. Zai Xinyuan thought that the house here just met their requirements, and it was mostly empty during weekdays, so the aunt came to clean the place regularly, so he brought everyone in the dormitory here.

The five of them are all strong young men who adapt to the chaotic society much faster than other middle-aged and elderly people and have a stronger ability to accept.

The 24th floor was not their first target. Their first target was a single girl who lived on the 13th floor. She was a roommate in their dormitory and was not bad looking. After they said a few nice words to coax her, she obediently opened the door for them.

The successful start with little effort made these young people, who were just 18 years old, excited and acted more wildly.

The subsequent successes inflated their self-confidence and made them feel as if they had become the male protagonists in a TV drama. They believed that social chaos was an opportunity for them to rise and dominate the world.

After setting their sights on the 24th floor, they did not have any serious discussions, thinking that it would be no more difficult than the previous ones. They casually agreed to pry the door open early this morning, not taking the opportunity of going to the 24th floor seriously at all.

Just after one o'clock in the morning, Zai Xinyuan and his group came up from the sixteenth floor. They secretly studied the door installed at the entrance of the stairs on the twenty-fourth floor. It was very sturdy and difficult to break open by ordinary means.

When I was looting supplies from a store before, I found a cutting machine and a battery, which came in handy.

The noise of the cutting machine was quite loud, and Makimai, who was sleeping on the sofa in the living room tonight, immediately heard the noise outside the door.

He got up from the sofa quietly, turned on the surveillance camera in the stairwell, walked to the bedroom doors of Yan Mo and Xiangwen, and knocked to wake them up.

After the neighborhood became chaotic, Yan Mo arranged for one person to sleep on the sofa in the living room every night so that he could react quickly if there was any noise. The soundproofing of the room was so good at that time that if no one was arranged to be on duty at night, one would not even hear the door being pried open.

Yan Mo and Fu Xiangwen came out quickly and confirmed the number of people coming and the weapons in their hands from the surveillance footage. One of them took a long knife and put a gun on his waist, opened the door and walked out.

The door of the stairwell was suddenly opened. Zai Xinyuan and his gang were a little stunned. When they saw the person inside appear, they immediately reacted with ferocious looks on their faces.

"Hey, it seems you are quite alert. You should open the door now to save us the trouble. Otherwise, you will be in trouble once we get in!"

Zai Xinyuan stood in front with a carefree attitude, making harsh remarks without hesitation.

"laugh--"

Such stupid words were spoken by a man who is almost 20 years old. It seems that he has watched a lot of mindless TV dramas and has been tortured by them.

Yan Mo's ridicule made Zai Xinyuan feel extremely angry, as if he was an insignificant little idiot, and he roared.

"Since you don't know how to behave, don't blame us for being rude. Hurry up and cut open this iron gate, and see what they can still do with their arrogance!"

The person operating the cutting machine sped up his movements, turning the horsepower to maximum without worrying about waking up the people inside.
