Chapter 57: Chapter 57 They Don’t Deserve It!
Jiang Yan watched the figures disappear into the 20th floor’s surveillance footage with an unfazed expression.
Good, none of them bothered to come down themselves.
Since they’ve come, it’s time for Zhang Qiqi’s demise.
Previously, the loudmouth He Chunmei had said that Zhang Qiqi had sought out Liu Dahong and Zhang Qiming for backing, and she was also gathering lower-floor residents to trouble her.
Although the torrential rain should prevent other building’s residents from coming over, the number of people she saw was still unexpectedly high.
However, even if they brought several times the number of people, it wouldn’t scare her.
After all, they were not a regular army.
Besides, climbing from the twentieth floor to the thirty-second floor would take several minutes at best.
She had a relatively ample amount of time to prepare.
Luckily, she had already made preparations in advance.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Yan went straight into the wardrobe room of the Space Apple Cabin.
There, a heap of pre-selected firearms, ammunition, and bulletproof vests lay on display.
After donning the bulletproof vest and changing into a set of black combat uniforms, she put on half-finger combat gloves, then took a small handgun with a 9 mm caliber that could hold 20 rounds, and finally slipped two tear gas canisters into her pocket.
She could actually take all these items out from the space with just a thought, but with so many prying eyes around, she didn’t want to expose her space.
There were also stacks of machine guns and potent bombs in the [Inventory Area].
However, those bombs were the kind that harmed the user almost as much as the enemy, so she definitely couldn’t use them now.
As for the machine guns, while they might be the most intimidating, using them against these people would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Plainly put, they didn’t deserve it.
And she couldn’t fully reveal her actual capability just yet.
Even though it was daytime, the hallway was quite dim, making protective sunglasses unnecessary, but Jiang Yan still picked up a black mask decorated with a skull pattern and put it on.
Dressed in this gear, Jiang Yan felt as if she had newly joined the special forces sub-unit of Shallow Bay.
After exiting the space, Jiang Yan checked the intrusion prevention system on the exterior door, confirming it was adjusted to a high voltage of 500V.
Her target today was Zhang Qiqi.
And the other party’s target was clearly the entire 32nd floor.
So, she prepared to hold her position and see what sort of shenanigans this group of people would pull off first.
After having sorted out the whole nest of rats, Jiang Yan’s house renovation progressed as smoothly as possible.
Knocking walls, smashing windows, laying wires across hallways—back then, the property management from top to bottom was “united,” turning a blind eye to everything, without even checking the blueprints.
Looking back now, it was clear she had been well-prepared.
“Liu Rui, you go check it out,” Liu Dahong glanced at a young man on his left and instructed, “It’s raining with thunder now. Be careful.”
“Yes, boss.” The young man, wearing insulating shoes and gloves, carrying a large tool box, walked straight ahead.
“Wow, Manager Liu, that’s professional!” Gao Dazhuang saw this and couldn’t help but give Liu Dahong a thumbs up.
Liu Dahong smiled, “We brothers live off this line of work; it was also mentioned by Brother Qiming before, so we made some special preparations.”
The young man named Liu Rui had reached the front of 3201. He took out an insulating pad from his toolbox to lay in front of the door and then took out an audiovisual high-voltage detector.
As a sharp beep sounded, Liu Rui stepped back in horror and turned to say, “Boss, there’s high voltage on the door!! 500 volts!!”
“...”
This was beyond belief!
The crowd was initially shocked, then excited.
Electricity.
After food, water, and medicine, it was electricity they needed most!
Pot Lid Head outright cursed and was just about to kneel and call her grandma.
Oh, no.
Jiang Yan was a woman.
Calling her ‘grandma’ would be more accurate.
Liu Dahong pondered for a second and said, “Pity the current disruptor is out of power; otherwise, we could have used it. If it comes to it, smash in from the rooftop window. The property management has spare glass for maintenance anyway, so it won’t affect subsequent living.”
Gao Dazhuang glanced at him, “Manager Liu, isn’t that unnecessary? Wouldn’t we be paying a steak price for a slab of tofu?”
“Brother Gao, you don’t understand. If the door is electrified, it’s possible that the power equipment and switches are all inside. With electricity, we can do a lot of things. Otherwise, as survivors from other communities come later on, our brothers’ electric batons will only serve as rubber-coated steel pipes,” Liu Dahong said with a hint of self-mockery.
Though Pot Lid Head felt that his point made sense, he still joked:
“But it’s storming with thunder from morning till night outside, who knows which scumbag brother keeps swearing falsely, and if we go from the outside, we might just get fried by a thunderbolt.”
His joke made everyone feel even colder.
Liu Rui packed up his tools and came over, adding:
“Yes, boss, I advise against going from the outside. Although it just involves tying ropes from the rooftop to lower someone down, we need to use metal to break the glass, and indeed, it’s too risky with the chance of getting struck by lightning.”
“Hey, my straight male brothers, can’t you guys think outside the box for a second? There was ‘borrowing light by piercing the wall’ in ancient times, and today we have ‘piercing the wall for electricity.’ Look, there’s an accessible entry right there,” Zhang Qiqi said, tilting her head to indicate the room next to Jiang Yan’s, 3202.
