Chapter 48: The Door Won’t Break
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Hao had no choice but to send another message to Ye Xingchen. “I hope you can survive this time. I’m sorry, Little Ye… 1 might not be able to help you this time.”
Zhao Hao felt extremely ashamed. He had actually owed Ye Xingchen a huge favor.
He was on duty at that time. He was just curious about how Ye Xingchen transported cars of things to his home and asked. Ye Xingchen told him seriously that he needed to stock up on more supplies.
It was also because of this that when Zhao Hao returned home, he realized that his family’s food reserves had almost been eaten up. He then ran to the supermarket to stock up on things like instant noodles and ham.
At that time, it was the clearance season. Zhao Hao happened to buy a few down jackets and coats at the clearance price, wanting to bring them back to his hometown in the north for his relatives and friends during the new year.
If not for Ye Xingchen’s reminder at that time, Zhao Hao would probably be like many others, freezing to death and starving to death in this extreme weather.
Thanks to Ye Xingchen, his current standard of living was actually considered rich compared to the average person.
He also often wondered if he should check on Ye Xingchen’s current situation, but when he thought about how Ye Xingchen had stored a lot of supplies before, he felt a little relieved.
But now, seeing so many people attacking Ye Xingchen’s house, Zhao Hao was anxious but helpless — his residence was almost buried by the snow, and he couldn’t get out.
“Brother Zhao, it’s already very kind of you not to join them,” Ye Xingchen replied calmly. “It’s fine. You stay at home. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Zhao Hao was indeed kind. Ye Xingchen only slowly remembered the cause of Zhao Hao’s death in his previous life. In order to not let Li Anran starve to death, he gave all his food to Li Anran, causing him to starve to death in the end.
After chatting with Brother Zhao for a while, Ye Xingchen did not reply further. After all, although Zhao Hao in his memory was kind, he had never interacted with him much. He had to be wary of others. Ye Xingchen could not let his guard down against Zhao Hao.
Not long after, after Ye Xingchen was exercising and sweating in the living room, the alarm in the room rang.
Someone was coming.
He calmly took out his tablet, connected it to the surveillance camera, and began to fill the bathtub again.
The crowd came from all directions and surrounded Ye Xingchen’s house.
Pieces of wooden planks pressed down on the loose snow on the ground. It was a dark mass outside. The few people leading the way even held umbrellas thoughtfully to prevent Ye Xingchen from drenching them from upstairs.
The sound of the door being smashed followed closely. Ye Xingchen lay in the bathtub and applied a layer of shower gel on his body. He was so relaxed that it was as if these people were not smashing his house.
Ye Xingchen searched the screen and found that Ma Chaowen and the others were not there.
Looking at the people who were almost stuck to the door, Ye Xingchen was even more certain that Ma Chaowen and the others did not tell anyone about the situation in his house.
Obviously, Ma Chaowen wanted to use these people as cannon fodder to consume Ye Xingchen’s weapons and energy. After all, after he went back and thought about it, he felt that although Ye Xingchen had weapons that could deal with a few of them, it did not mean that Ye Xingchen had many weapons that could deal with many people.
As long as there were more people, he would be able to sit back and enjoy the benefits when Ye Xingchen could no longer attack.
Besides, if more of those people died, wouldn’t he be able to get more resources?
Ye Xingchen had a lot of energy on hand, so he didn’t worry about using it. He pressed the switch for the high-voltage electricity without thinking.
In an instant, the screams outside entered Ye Xingchen’s ears through the voice transmitter. He raised his hand and cleaned his ears.
The few people who had smashed the door the most were instantly stuck to the door and could not move. The people behind them were so scared that they screamed and ran away. No one dared to approach the men whose bodies were gradually smoking.
“Hurry up! Hide far away!”
“Wooden stick! Take the wooden stick! They were electrocuted!”
A few seconds later, Ye Xingchen turned off the switch. Nine people outside fell back on the snow that had been stepped on firmly. They were charred black and smoking. The smell of roasted meat wafted in the air.
After a few seconds, no one dared to take a step forward to check if they were still alive. Everyone had fear on their faces. Some women in the crowd could not help but bent down and vomited.
However, they could only spit out stomach acid. After all, their stomachs were empty.
The eyes of the people who had been electrocuted bulged, their postures distorted, and their faces ferocious. They were very scary.
Some of the people in the crowd started to run in fear. After turning their heads to leave the crowd, they realized that Zhang Yi’s men had surrounded them at the outermost layer. They were all holding knives and blocked them outside Ye Xingchen’s house.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen also noticed that Ma Chaowen and Zhang Yi had come over at some point in time. They stood outside the encirclement of the crowd with a cold expression.
Ma Chaowen saw that some people were beginning to retreat and had the intention to escape. He immediately began to incite them. “This damned Ye Xingchen! What a beast! He has so many resources at home, but he doesn’t want to share them with us! He actually dares to kill people!”
“Brothers, let’s charge! We have to take down this building! Revenge our dead brothers!”
“Everyone, don’t be afraid! Just use a wooden block to hit it! It just so happens that we brought a lot of wooden sticks and planks when we came! With these things, no one has to be afraid of the high-voltage electricity!”
“He doesn’t have many tricks left! He was already at his wit’s end! Everyone, charge!”
“As long as we take down this building, we won’t have to suffer from cold and hunger in the future! We can all go back to our normal lives!”
Ma Chaowen’s words successfully ignited everyone’s fighting spirit again. No one thought about why he had brought the wood over so coincidentally.
While they were fighting outside, Ye Xingchen wiped his body dry and walked out with a fresh banana in his hand. After eating, he even went upstairs and threw the banana peel through the small hole he had shot earlier into the crowd.
“F*ck…What is this?”
Some people were dizzy from the impact, but they were stunned as they held the frozen banana peel that they had just touched.
“F*ckyou, Ye Xingchen! We’re smashing the door here, and he’s actually eating a banana?!”
This time, the group of people surrounding Ye Xingchen became even angrier. They cursed and smashed the door even harder.
However, after a long time, people realized that the steel door did not budge at all. There was not even a dent. There were only deep and shallow scratches on the door.
“What, what kind of door is this? Why is it so sturdy?”
“Oh my god, at this speed, when can we break this door open?”
