Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Kill horizontally, kill vertically, it’s all killing!

Gao Dazhuang halted his steps and turned around upon hearing the voice.

He eyed the approaching figures of Liu Dahong, Zhang Qiqi, Zhang Qiming, and a few supervisors wielding clubs and spears, and an assortnt of property owners. A hint of wariness flashed across Gao Dazhuang’s eyes:

“What, Beauty Zhang, you have a good place to recomnd?”

Zhang Qiqi curled her lips, her eyes gleaming mischievously with a smile: “Of course!”

Previously, while in the underground shelter, she had been following Liu Dahong and Zhang Qiming around every day, becoming familiar with all the property owners.

Back then, Liu Dahong and Zhang Qiming were in charge of liaising with the governnt, controlling supplies and power resources, and were accompanied by several capable supervisors, exuding an impressive aura.

Initially, they were diligent in their duties, ensuring fairness and justice in the organization and distribution of resources.

They even prioritized vulnerable groups such as the elderly, the disabled, and pregnant won.

However, when the high temperature had reached two-thirds of its peak, the true colors of the others had erged.

With tactics involving pulling strings and oppressing others, subtly threatening and enticing, they practically deed themselves saviors to all the Shallow Bay District owners.

So property owners indeed had grievances, but they dared not speak out.

After all, during crucial tis, those who controlled the resources and had connections held the power.

Later, when the heavy rain started, everyone had returned to their hos, Liu Dahong and Zhang Qiming’s group disappeared without a trace.

Seeing them now, many couldn’t help but feel a sense of lingering fear in their hearts.

Even the group led by Gao Dazhuang, who used to stride arrogantly before the high temperatures hit Shallow Bay’s Building A, was no exception.

Seeing that Liu Dahong and his group stopped moving forward, he finally said, “Please, Beauty Zhang, enlighten us.”

Zhang Qiqi stepped forward, glanced at the people around him, and then said:

“Brother Dazhuang, you forgot, our building—there’s the 32nd floor!”

“I know, but the floodwaters—it’s not likely to reach up to the 20th floor, right? And besides—” Gao Dazhuang’s words abruptly stopped.

He initially wanted to say that moving to the 32nd floor was easy, but there were still so supplies in his lower-floor ho, and moving everything up wouldn’t be easy, hence his choice of an interdiate floor as a temporary asure.

But obviously, he couldn’t speak the truth to these people.

Many were already lacking in food and dicine. Admitting he had supplies but found it inconvenient to move them higher would be foolishly inviting trouble.

Thinking this, Gao Dazhuang shifted the topic:

“Besides, if I rember correctly, there are already owners living on the 32nd floor. We can’t just do sothing like this—”

Zhao Xiaobo and his brother had also been squatting without paying a di; he felt perfectly justified in grabbing this place.

But if it ant having to kill living residents to move in, he was sowhat hesitant for the ti being.

Though killing was killing, whether vertical or horizontal.

“Brother Dazhuang, look, today the water reached the 10th floor. It’s only been a few days of torrential rain. With this rain getting heavier, I reckon in at most a week, it’ll reach this level. As for the 32nd floor, once you’re there, you’ll know—it’s much better than this!

Besides, if you don’t seize the opportunity to move up now, once people beco aware and move up later, it won’t be as easy for you to settle in like today!”

After finishing, Zhang Qiqi added another line: “Moreover, we aren’t just going up to rob openly, we are acting with justification!”

She spoke these words with eyes full of hatred and grinding teeth, tears welling up in an instant.

Gao Dazhuang: “…”

Zhang Qiqi’s words weren’t without reason.

So of the people living in the corridor, upon hearing this, were tempted to move upwards imdiately.

But Gao Dazhuang wasn’t just brawn and no brains, clearly not so easily swayed.

He observed the energetic group in front of him, weapons in hand, a spitting image of his own group.

He knew they were definitely heading upstairs to stir up trouble, just looking for an excuse to push others out.

Reflecting on the past incidents of Blood Mosquitoes attacking people in the building and Zhang Qiqi’s mobilization of the lower-floor residents in the underground garage after her son’s death.

It was quite clear they were probably targeting soone in unit 3201.

As for why they were calling him, he couldn’t quite understand.

After all, the other party wasn’t lacking in people or resources.

It seed unit 3201 just had one girl; there was no need for him to play the sacrificial pawn on the frontline.

Thinking this, Gao Dazhuang said, “Beauty Zhang makes a lot of sense, but such a good spot, aren’t you considering going yourselves? Manager Liu, you guys aren’t short on people either.”

Hearing these words, the usually silent Liu Dahong finally spoke: “Brother Gao, when there’s a good opportunity, shouldn’t we share it? Besides, with more people, we can also look out for each other, right?”

After speaking, he gave Gao Dazhuang a aningful look.

Zhang Qiqi chid in imdiately: “Yeah, Brother Dazhuang, there are four rooms up there. How could we possibly occupy them all? We’ll take two, and give you the other two. We’ll tidy up the corridor and elevator area, where people can also stay.

Then, we’ll control the 32nd floor, making it impenetrable, seizing the best conditions early. It’s certainly better than you staying here, constantly on guard against others. After all, there are always bigger fish out there.

We must always look to the future. Our building’s residents may be honest, but that doesn’t an those from other buildings or districts won’t covet what you have.”

There.

It turned out they all this ti were trying to rope him into their faction.

Looks like, they were ready to leverage Shallow Bay’s location to start sothing big.

Perhaps beginning with sothing like claiming the mountain as their own.

The realization dawned on Gao Dazhuang in an instant, and he cast a glance at the n beside him, “What do you guys think?”

“Big brother, I think we should move up,” said Pot Lid Head.

The others nodded in agreent without hesitation.

“Alright, we’ll go up with you,” Gao Dazhuang asserted, addressing Liu Dahong.

Listening to their conversation, a few people living in tents unzipped their tents and cautiously inquired,

“Manager Liu, can we co with you? We’ll stay in the corridor, hehehe.”

“Ahem, yes, yes, Manager Liu, we can help, cough, cough!”

Liu Dahong remained silent while a young man next to him, sporting red fla-design sports shoes, coldly glanced at them, asking:

“Do you have food and water? Any dicine?”

“No, none.”

“I don’t either.”

“We’ve been starving for days. If Manager Liu has any food, could you please spare a little?” They awkwardly smiled, thinking the other side would show so compassion after confirming.

“Well, why don’t you talk to us after you’ve survived another 10 days!” The young man muttered coldly under his breath:

“Just looking at you, gasping for breath with your skinny arms and legs, who knows if you’ll even survive until tomorrow!”

The flicker of hope that had just appeared in their eyes darkened instantly: “…”

Liu Dahong ignored them and gestured with a sweeping motion, his command full of gravitas: “Let’s go, upstairs!”

The group ascended loudly, brandishing guns and swinging clubs.
