Chapter 47: Attack
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What is it?”
Lin Sijia asked.
“These neighbors are probably going to attack me. If you know what they are going to do, let me know.”
After Ye Xingchen saw that both groups were silent, he guessed that his neighbors had probably created a new group, just like with Zhang Yi’s incident at the beginning.
He knew that these people would definitely attack his house, but he was not afraid.
After all, he had already made preparations after his rebirth. Although the house was built, it was also heavily reinforced. Even though it took an extreme amount of effort, he did not have to worry about its lack of completion with the money he spent.
The reason he proposed such a condition was just to find an excuse for Lin Sijia.
Although he didn’t need her now, she was such a good candidate. He couldn’t really starve her to death, right?
Moreover, if he could know what the neighbors were thinking, he could also be more prepared, right?
Lin Sijia hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.
Her morals and conscience would not allow her to do such a despicable thing as betraying others.
However, the neighbors’ behavior was many times worse than Ye Xingchen’s request.
Therefore, she still chose to help Ye Xingchen.
“Alright, this will depend on your performance. As long as the information you provide is useful, I will give you what you need.”
Lin Sijia was a smart woman. Of course, she knew that Ye Xingchen would not help her unconditionally. In fact, she even felt that she had taken advantage of Ye Xingchen in this matter. After all, a few pieces of news compared to food and medicine that could not be bought with money… There was no comparison at all.
As Ye Xingchen expected, after he said what he did, people quickly added a new group.
This time, they even pulled Zhang Yi in.
The group was discussing how to attack Ye Xingchen’s home, but no one mentioned asking Zhang Yi for supplies.
At this moment, Zhang Yi quietly said in the group. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you for the time being. The most important thing for us now is to think of a way to take down Ye Xingchen.”
“From now on, I can provide food and even weapons for everyone.”
“But after we break into his house, 1 want half of his supplies.”
No one in the group dared to object. After all, everyone knew that Zhang Yi had the real deal.
Of course, Zhang Yi also coveted Ye Xingchen’s supplies. After all, the food in his house was all garbage. How could it compare to the fresh fish and meat in the video? He even had to eat his meat sparingly.
However, he did not intend to fight head-on. After all, although Ye Xingchen’s supplies were tempting, he had a lot of stock. He would probably have enough to eat until the day he died. Therefore, he chose to let others be cannon fodder.
As for the food he said he could provide…
He looked at the pile of corpses in the courtyard and raised his hand to summon two burly men.
“From now on, every family can send one person to get a portion of food from me every day until we break through to Ye Xingchen’s home. However, when we attack Ye Xingchen’s home, 1 must see you fighting.”
Ma Chaowen took the lead and replied in the group. “Yes, yes, yes. We’ll listen to Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang is really a good person!”
“Yes! Let’s defeat that selfish Ye Xingchen together!”
“Learn from Brother Zhang! What a good person! You’re still thinking about your neighbors!”
The enthusiasm of the people in the group seemed to have increased by another level as they roared in the group.
Only a few people, such as Lin Sijia and Zhao Hao, remained silent from the beginning to the end.
“They are planning to attack your house. Zhang Yi asked everyone to go to his place to get food.”
It was a message from Lin Sijia. After reading it, Ye Xingchen only replied indifferently. “Okay.”
Lin Sijia curled up on the sofa and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. She looked at Ye Xingchen’s calm reply and frowned. “They’re like crazy. People are probably coming from every household. Aren’t you going to think of a way?”
Lin Sijia felt that the best way for Ye Xingchen at this time was to pack up and run, or hand over some things to calm everyone’s anger.
It was indeed difficult for one person to fight against many fists. Lin Sijia knew that Ye Xingchen had weapons, but there were only a few rusty arrows. So Zhang Peng and the others couldn’t get through, but what if so many people attacked together?
One to two hundred people could even demolish the house!
No matter how powerful Ye Xingchen was, he might not be able to deal with so many people.
Ye Xingchen smiled and replied to Lin Sijia in a good mood. “1’11 just remind you to remember not to go out for the next few days. Don’t get involved in this matter. Just hide at home.”
Lin Sijia frowned. She didn’t know where Ye Xingchen got the confidence to think that he could deal with so many owners in the entire community by himself. This was no joke. Now, everyone regarded him as their number one enemy. When the time came, she was afraid that he would die in their hands.
Lin Sijia felt that Ye Xingchen had gone crazy.
However, this was Ye Xingchen’s choice after all, so she couldn’t criticize him too much. She did listen to Ye Xingchen’s words and obediently stayed at home without participating.
She was a person with a moral bottom line. She would not exploit people, whether it was Ye Xingchen’s or anyone else’s.
Ye Xingchen took out a lot of weapons from his space and sat in the living room on the fifth floor.
This time, he couldn’t attack them from the third floor. If he was too close, he was afraid of being counterattacked. The distance from the fifth floor was good. He could aim but wouldn’t be hit.
So he began to look at the scene on the screen again. He watched with interest as Zhang Yi’s bodyguards were cutting up the corpses they had collected in the hall.
Then, he distributed the body parts one after another to the owners who were lined up at the entrance.
Ye Xingchen’s face was interesting. On one hand, he felt that Zhang Yi was smart, but on the other hand, he felt disgusted. In his heart, he felt that those people in the queue were funny.
None of them would have thought that the “food” that Zhang Yi had provided them for free were all corpses that they had brought back previously.
Perhaps they might even be fated to receive the corpse parts of their own family.
This Zhang Yi was quite smart. This move did not consume his own stock, but it could also win over the hearts of the people, making everyone willing to be his cannon fodder.
At this time, Ye Xingchen received some news.
It was from Zhao Hao, the security guard.
“Little Ye, hurry up and pack your things and run! They’ve brought their weapons to look for you!”
Ye Xingchen’s heart warmed up slightly. He thought more highly of Zhao Hao. It was hard to believe that there was still a good person at this time.
He smiled and said, “It’s okay, Brother Zhao. Don’t worry. I can handle it.”
Zhao Hao was silent for a moment. He seemed to have finally understood that it was too late for Ye Xingchen to run.
Moreover, it might be safer for him to stay in the house than to run now. After all, there were people watching from every household..
