Chapter 41: Kill The Chicken To Warn The Monkey (1)
A man glared at her and shouted angrily, "Don't lie! If there is no food, why are you guys blocking the stairs?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The leader brandished a knife and roared, "We are all starving to death, but you lock yourself in and eat alone, regardless of our life or death. Who do you think you are?!"
Another man added, "Don't talk nonsense to them! Just rob if they won't give willingly! Just grab the food!"
He glared at Yao Ran and others and threatened, "Hand over the food, or I will kill all of you!"
Yao Ran couldn't help laughing after hearing what they said. Long Yu thought she was being sarcastic and glanced at her but found that she really found the words of those men funny. He thoughtfully stared at her and said nothing.
Seeing Yao Ran laughing so hard that tears came out, the leader became even more angry and shouted, "Why are you laughing?!"
Hearing his question, Yao Ran waved her hand and tried to hold back her laugh. When she finally stopped laughing, Yao Ran wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and spread her hands helplessly.
"You can't blame me for laughing. What you said was too funny. Why should we give you food? Who are you to us?"
Then she pointed to the leader and asked, "What does it have to do with you if we have food to eat when you are hungry? If you think it's unfair, go out and find the food yourself. What's the use of barking at our door?"
In fact, Yao Ran only eats until she is seventy percent full every meal, and all her energy is spent on extensive training and leveling up her abilities.
Yao Ran had no reason to avoid people, but she also had no reason to help them. They all looked pale and thin from hunger, but she still looked healthy. Her healthy, rosy appearance set her apart from the masses, and she knew that was why they thought she had plenty of food at home.
These people are so hungry that they have lost their bottom line as human beings. Reasoning with them is like talking to a wall.
Yao Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense to them and said, "Fine. If you have the ability, come and take my food. Whoever can grab the food will own it."
Seeing her carefree look, the leader gritted his teeth and said, "You are really courageous! Aren't you afraid of death?"
Yao Ran shook her head and replied seriously, "No."
The leader, "..." Hey, you don't follow the rules!
After her answer choked the leader and made him speechless, Yao Ran glanced downstairs.
Although only a few people knocked on the door, countless people hid in the darkness. If you don't kill the chicken to scare the monkey today, the monkey will keep coming in the future. Seeing Yao Ran ignored them, the leader shouted furiously, "Kill all of them!"
The moment he gave out the order, the men kicked the metal door, raised their weapons, and rushed forward.
Yao Ran glanced at Zhou Ruilin and said, "Sister Zhou, please step back."
The next second, she pulled out the dagger from her waist and rushed forward. She lowered her body and suddenly slashed the abdomens of three men, then kicked them away.
Seeing this scene, everyone else was startled by Yao Ran's well-trained movements and took a step back in shock.
The leader gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you waiting for?! She is just a woman, and you can't deal with her?! Don't you want to eat? Whoever grabs the food is the owner!"
Thinking of their families waiting at home, the men clenched their weapons and rushed toward You Ran. However, how could Long Yu let them do whatever they wanted?
Before they could even set foot on the 20th floor, Long Yu grabbed one of them, dislocated his arms, and kicked him down the stairs.
"Ah!" The man yelled in pain, rolled down the stairs, and bumped into several other men. For a moment, screams echoed on the 20th floor, making the surroundings particularly eerie late at night. People living on the lower floors could only cover their ears, close their eyes, and try to ignore the commotion and screams outside.
Yao Ran slashed at those people several times, making sure to avoid the vital points. However, every time her dagger cut through their flesh, blood would spurt out and stain the stairs red.
There were six attackers tonight. Three people were slashed by Yao Ran and bled profusely. Long Yu broke the arms of one of them and then beat the other two into pulps.
Zhou Ruilin, on the other hand, could only stand behind and hug her son with a pale face. Yao Ran stood at the top of the stairs, holding a blood-stained dagger, looking down at the leader, and smiled, "Do you want food or your life? It's your choice."
The leader clutched his bleeding belly, stared at Yao Ran, and roared, "This is illegal! You are committing murder!"
Hearing this, Yao Ran chuckled, "Murder? Didn't you threaten to kill us just now? Why is it suddenly illegal when it's my turn to kill you?"
The leader couldn't help but shudder when he saw Yao Ran's smiling face. Her sweet-looking face was stained with blood, and a pair of cold eyes stared at him, making the leader tremble in fear.
He was really wrong. This woman can kill someone while smiling. How can they say she is weak? She is clearly a devil incarnation!
The leader really regrets his decision to come tonight, but there is no cure for regret. Seeing that he didn't speak, Yao Ran walked down the stairs and took off their masks one by one.
Looking at their faces, Yao Ran raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, it turns out it's you, Sun Zhouping. No wonder they listen to you. What's wrong? Did you quit your job as a community manager and become a robber?"
