Chapter 55 - 55 Deliberately Provoking War

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Deliberately Provoking War@@@@

Billowing smoke and the sound of stir-frying in an iron wok emerged from the stairwell, probably owners had dismantled wooden furniture to make a fire and cook in the corridor.

Without electricity, the smoke detectors and fire sprinklers in the passageways were also ineffective.

The pungent, choking smell of smoke and fire permeated everywhere.

Jiang Yan had actually been restless at home for quite some time, but she still chose to hunker down at home and not go out.

Moreover, because a bunch of unknown “intruders” had temporarily arrived in the building, she temporarily abandoned her plan to go down to the seventh floor to seek revenge on Zhang Qiqi.

After all, at this moment, everyone, whether He Chunmei or others, thought she had gone to an official refuge and had not returned.

So, she would just live peacefully for a few more days.

As for Zhang Qiqi, with the rain so heavy now, she was naturally trapped in the building.

She would just let her bounce around for a few more days.

While others were worried sick about their next meal, Jiang Yan spent her days busily shuttling between Space and the safe house, happily engaged in her activities.

Study, hands-on practice, gourmet food, fitness, entertainment, planting—she had a full schedule of various activities.

The various vegetable seeds previously scattered in Space had also sprouted into small tender seedlings about an inch long.

Following agricultural tutorials, she chose some relatively robust ones and transplanted them one by one.

Seeds for chives and roses were also sown, and now tiny green sprouts were popping up here and there.

The flowers she had planted earlier were growing vigorously as well.

She estimated that it wouldn’t be long before they bloomed.

Jiang Yan suddenly realized that ever since she started planting vegetables and flowers in the black soil of Space, the entire Space had come to life.

Perhaps this was the magic brought by new life.

If she were to raise some animals as well, would it feel even better?

But with the heatwave and rainstorm outside, it was uncertain whether any small animals were still alive.

Only after the rain stopped could she find the right time to go out and look.

That morning, just after she had finished breakfast, she heard intermittent noises through the surveillance, and she quickly picked up her pad.

It came from the 20th floor’s footage.

The usually empty elevator waiting area and the corridor were now crowded with people.

Men, women, old, and young alike.

“Damn it!!”

“Dare to kill my brother, I’ll fight you all to the death!!”

“Ah!!!!”

“Pfff!”

“Thud!”

“...”

Those living out in the corridor, confronted with this savage and bloody scene, shrank back against the wall.

Those in tents simply shook as they silently zipped their tents shut.

And a few people looked on, their eyes empty and numb, oddly calm.

Less than a minute later.

The two curly-haired men were bloodied and limp as Gao Dazhuang and his group dragged them out.

The one named Zhao Xiaobo had part of his skull caved in and shattered, his brain matter saturated with blood dripping on the floor.

“Fourth Brother, go open a window!”

Someone dashed forward to open the corridor windows.

“Boom!”

The cold wind poured in, carrying large raindrops.

“Plop!”

“Plop!”

The two fresh corpses were thrown into the water.

Their blood quickly diffused, but was soon washed away by the torrential rain and disappeared.

“Fuck! There’s blood all over the living room floor; living here is so unlucky!!”

“Brother Dazhuang, I was too rash just now; if I had known, I should have dragged them out to settle this.” Pot Lid Head said with a sheepish smile.

“Drag them out? They had weapons in their hands, just like us!” another man interjected.

“Forget it, let’s go inside first, and later find a rag to wipe it up a bit,” Gao Dazhuang took charge, preparing to step inside.

Just then, a coquettish voice echoed from the distant corridor.

“Well, well, Brother Dazhuang, your several families crammed into this apartment must feel squeezed, right? Besides, now that you’ve reached the 20th floor, why not think about moving a little higher, settle it in one go?”

Hearing this all too familiar voice, Jiang Yan’s eyes darkened slightly.
