Chapter 56: Borrow A Boat



Upon hearing Shi Xuan's question, Huang Zhihui looked at him in surprise and asked, "Elder Brother Xuan, you are not afraid of those weaklings, are you?"

Shi Xuan looked at her exaggerated expression and flicked her forehead lightly, "Please use your brain."

"Ouch." Huang Zhihui covered her forehead and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

Shi Xuan looked at them and explained, "Although we are stronger than them, if they join forces to attack us, we will be at a disadvantage. We need to rest and eat, and we cannot fight twenty-four hours a day."

Huang Qian looked at him, frowned, and said, "Brother Xuan, you won't really agree to join them, will you? They may use us as their sword and shield."

Huang Zhihui shook her head and said, "No! We can't let them do whatever they want. If they get what they want this time, they will continue to come, and their greed will never end!"

Yao Ran looked at Long Yu and asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't care. What about you?"

Yao Ran looked at the others and said, "It's impossible to look for supplies together with them. Not to mention, it's hard to find supplies now. Even if we find some supplies, it won't be enough to divide them with so many people. In the end, they will just plot against each other and stab us in the back."

She thought for a second and continued, "I agree with Shi Xuan."

"Why not lend them a boat and let them go out to find one? There are many outdoor stores in Juncheng City. As long as they go out early, they might be able to find a motorboat or an inflatable boat. When they have a boat, they wouldn't keep looking at what we had."

However, Lu Hong was not disappointed since he had come for another purpose. As long as he could borrow a boat, his purpose of coming today would be achieved.

Lu Hong smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you."

Without waiting for others to be happy, Long Yu added, "We will only lend it to you once. Also, what would you do if the boat is lost or damaged?"

Lu Hong was stunned, not knowing what to say. "This... we are all neighbors-"

"Don't give me those empty words. Should a neighbor be as overbearing as you?" Before he could finish speaking about moral kindness, Yao Ran interrupted him.

She looked at Lu Hong coldly and said, "This boat is our lifeline. Lending it to you is about friendship; not lending it to you is about principle. Don't think that you can manipulate us because there are more people on your side."

Yao Ran narrowed her eyes and added coldly, "If you provoke me... It's not a loss to kill one, and killing two is making a profit. Anyone who is not afraid of death can come to me."

Survival is human instinct. They may have more people than the people on the 20th floor, but who would be stupid enough to provoke these lunatics and courting death?

The residents on the 20th floor have killed people before. For a moment, no one dared to speak.

Lu Hong looked at them, feeling very angry in his heart. Before coming to the 20th floor, everyone was talking big words downstairs. But now, each of them was like a turtle huddled in its shell, shrinking its head timidly!

However, the goal was almost achieved, and Lu Hong could only grit his teeth. After all, his wife and children were still starving at home, waiting for him to return with food.

Since he agreed to take the lead in this matter, others have also decided to give him a larger share of supplies in the future. With power in his hands, many things would be easier to handle.
