Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Character Collapse

“Bang!”

“Clang!”

“Smack!”

“…”

The lower floor residents took the lead by throwing their weapons into the corner, followed closely by Gao Dazhuang and his group.

Liu Dahong glanced at the dark muzzle in Jiang Yan’s hand and devised a plan, also throwing his steel crowbar with a “bang.”

Once he gave up resistance, others quickly followed suit.

Seeing this, Sun Jingtao swiftly bent down to pick up the assorted weapons in the corner, taking them all to the door of apartment 3201.

With a gun in her hand, Jiang Yan already had an imposing presence, as if one man could hold the pass against ten thousand.

Now that Sun Jingtao had confiscated these weapons, any future thoughts of resistance were completely cut off.

However, many of the weapons were stained with fresh blood, the smell of which was not only strong but also quite shocking to see.

After collecting the weapons, Sun Jingtao, holding the Bone Chopper, consciously stood beside Jiang Yan, but deliberately kept some distance to ensure he did not encroach upon her personal safety zone.

Jiang Yan glanced at him but said nothing.

Liu Dahong and others glared at Sun Jingtao with teeth clenched in rage, though they dared not speak.

Ye Qing saw that everyone had quieted down and was about to press the display screen switch, but suddenly saw Liu Dahong kneel down with a “thump.”

Everyone: “…”

Gao Dazhuang and others almost had their jaws hit the floor in shock.

The other property management brothers had no idea what was behind this move, exchanging glances for a second.

Then they saw Liu Dahong frantically wave at them, signaling them to kneel as well.

After hesitating for a second, they too bewilderedly knelt down.

“Miss Jiang, I, Liu Dahong, am willing to lead our brothers to follow you! We will take responsibility for the security of the 32nd floor! I also have a storeroom full of food and drinking water, all of which I submit to you for handling!”

A real man knows when to yield!

At this moment, amidst the relentless rain, those with supplies were few.

And he was even offering up all the storeroom goods.

To outsiders, this would seem an offer as clear as day, heaven and earth as witnesses!

He believed Jiang Yan would not refuse.

All the property brothers including Zhang Qiming were stunned.

They had secretly agreed never to reveal they had such supplies.

Liu Dahong had unexpectedly divulged it so quickly!

And he had even taken the lead in kowtowing.

This seemed too spineless and undignified.

His character had collapsed to the point of being unrecognizable by his own mother!

Everyone was puzzled.

Very puzzled.

What they didn’t know was that Liu Dahong was actually employing a stalling tactic.

He pretended to surrender, thinking of using Jiang Yan’s guns to help himself become the boss of Shallow Bay.

As for Jiang Yan, she was nothing but a figurehead propped up by others.

Just a name without real power.

When the right time came, to take over and claim her guns and followers was not impossible.

As for the supplies, how much could a single young woman consume?

Ultimately, the supplies would obediently return to his own hands.

Other residents and Gao Dazhuang hearing about Liu Dahong’s food and water had their eyes light up instantly.

But immediately, a rage welled up inside them.

It meant the rumors about the property hoarding official supplies were not unfounded!

However, wary of Jiang Yan’s words, they had to suppress their anger and dared not make any rash moves.

After Liu Dahong finished speaking, he looked hopefully toward Jiang Yan.

But unexpectedly, she did not even lift her eyelids while listening to his speech.

Liu Dahong: “Miss Jiang? May I?”

Jiang Yan’s response was cold and decisive: “No need.”

Liu Dahong: “…”

At that, Sun Jingtao, hearing her words, reflexively curled his lips up, his admiration for Jiang Yan growing.

Ye Qing, seeing the scene quiet again, then asked, “So, Miss Jiang, should I play the video?”

Jiang Yan nodded.

The video started, and when a fully armed man sneaking left and right opened the apartment door, the crowd burst into uproar.

It was clearly the surveillance angle from the first floor entrance of Building A.

The faces of Liu Dahong and his group changed instantly.

Soon, when Guan Sanqiang bent over to block the door with a bolt, the striking and glaring blaze of his athletic shoes and six-fingered hand appeared in the frame.

The crowd didn’t recognize his shoes as quickly as Jiang Yan did, but the six fingers were well-known among the residents.

After all, Shallow Bay’s property team was relatively stable, and the managers were just a handful, often seen over several years.

If it had been any other time, one might say it was coincidental.

That it was just another person with six fingers committing the crime.

But under the circumstances of the timing, location, extreme heat and nearly closed-off neighborhoods, such coincidence clearly didn’t stand.

Seeing flocks of Blood Mosquitoes flying into the hallway, and images of their family members being brutally killed flashed before their eyes, the residents could no longer contain their rage.

Even the few seemingly timid residents with wet pants were filled with murderous intent.

“Miss Jiang, we want them to pay with their lives!” said the bespectacled scholarly man full of anger.

But being wary of Jiang Yan’s gun, he thought to inform her first.

“Fuck! So the truth is like this, you property management stole and even framed others?!!”

“How can there be such shameless and evil people in this world!!! Mom! You died so wrongfully, so tragically!! Wuuu!!!”

“Liu Dahong, you two-faced beast! I’m killing you today!!!”

“Guan Sanqiang, give me back my son’s life!!!” @@novelbin@@

“…”

Others also filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could tear the property staff apart.

But the scene was somewhat surreal:

Though verbally aggressive, no one dared to move a muscle.

After all, Jiang Yan’s gun and bullets were impartial and unseeing.

Watching the video footage, Liu Dahong’s mind suddenly cooled off.

Before he could speak, thinking to act first, Guan Sanqiang couldn’t contain himself and jumped up:

“These images are fucking stitched together! They’re AI-synthesized! They’re fake!! Don’t be misled, everyone!! With the recent high temperatures of sixty or seventy degrees, all the wires and cameras would have long broken down! How could the surveillance possibly work!!”

“Your AI-synthesized fifty-cent effects could be this realistic?!”

“Fuck, the property management is deliberately reducing the population to monopolize the official supplies provided to us!! So cruel!!”

“…”

Seeing Guan Sanqiang jump up and Jiang Yan not shooting, others instantly grew bolder, rising and swinging their fists at the property staff.

The property staff, not ones to take things lying down, responded with a barrage of punches and kicks.

The scene quickly descended into chaos.
