Fatty Wang was the closest to the explosives. The explosion sounded and Fatty Wang died on the spot.
Flesh, blood, and clothes flew all over the ground. The liquid solidified in the extremely low temperature and stuck to his colleagues.
There were quite a lot of explosives, and with the addition of gasoline, Fatty Wang took seven or eight workers in a row with him in his death. All of them were blown up beyond recognition.
After Ye Xingchen heard that the commotion outside had died down, he pulled up the surveillance camera to admire it.
There were only three intact corpses on the ground. They had been smashed to death by the flying body parts. The rest had been shattered into pieces, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
Out of the dozen or so intruders, only five or six were lucky enough to survive. They staggered and ran out.
The ownersâ group chat also started to get lively, with people asking what was going on.
âSigh, what a pity. No one came to clean up after making my door so dirty. If I had known earlier, 1 wouldnât have let these idiots go get food. Otherwise, when they saw so much âroasted meatâ in front of my door, they would definitely take the initiative to help digest it.â
Rubbing his neck, Ye Xingchen turned off the projector on the third floor, locked the door, and went up to the sixth floor to check on Lin Sijia.
The door opened with a click, and Ye Xingchen met Lin Sijiaâs panicked eyes.
âAlright, itâs fine now.â
Lin Sijia scrambled out from under the table and threw herself into Ye Xingchenâs arms.
âIs, is someone here? I just heard another explosion.â
With Ye Xingchen here, Lin Sijia finally felt at ease.
âYes, someone did come. They wanted to blow up my house. The second explosion was fine, it was them blowing up themselves.â
Lin Sijia heaved a sigh of relief and raised her head from Ye Xingchenâs arms. âAt first, 1 thought it was an earthquake and woke up in shock. 1 hid and was about to take out my phone to send you a message, but when 1 heard the explosion, 1 knew it wasnât an earthquake.â
Ye Xingchen gently wrapped his arms around her waist. He quite enjoyed Lin Sijia throwing herself into his arms.
He raised his hand and gently scratched Lin Sijiaâs nose. âAre you naive? If it was really an earthquake, whatâs the point of hiding under the table? You might as well go to the corner of the bathroom.â
âMoreover, my house wonât crack even if an earthquake comes. You can rest assured and stay here.â
Ye Xingchen let go of her hand and sat on the chair in Lin Sijiaâs room, telling her about his guess.
âItâs probably the people from the building nearby. They have steel bars in their hands. Thereâs a building under construction nearby.â
Lin Sijia didnât say anything. She took two steps forward and sat down next to Ye Xingchen.
âThen thatâs troublesome. The people outside are starting to have designs on you, which means that someone must have already spread the video you sent them.â
Ye Xingchen nodded and pulled Lin Sijia into his arms.
âIt was my oversight. When Zhao Hao came over, 1 turned off the alarm and forgot to turn it on. In the end, someone attacked at night so quickly.â
âIt seems that there will be more and more visitors in the future. It seems that 1 have to quickly get more people. You can continue to sleep.â
After returning to his room, Ye Xingchen took out his phone and began to slowly read the messages sent by the people in the group.
âOh my god, what was that sound just now?!â
âI donât know. Could it be an earthquake? 1 felt my bed shake!â
âNo, it sounds like something exploded.â
âHahaha, a comet hit Earth! The Earth is going to be destroyed!â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about?! Donât disturb people here!â
âCould it be that someone didnât put away their things properly and it exploded? It shouldnât be. Wasnât the power cut? How did it explode?â
Ye Xingchen typed unhurriedly. âJust now, it should be the workers from the construction site next door who wanted to come in and rob the residents of our community. However, 1 found out and chased them away.â
âAs for the noise that everyone heard just now, it was because they used explosives.â
Ye Xingchenâs words successfully made the people in the group panic again.
âWhat? Why are people from outside coming to our neighborhood?â
âOh my god, I finally have some food. They canât be coming to snatch it from me so soon, right?â
âHow did they get in? Wasnât the entrance of the residential area blocked by snow?â
âThey dug it under the snow.â Ye Xingchen said calmly. He pulled out the other surveillance cameras in the community and saw that there was a not-so-obvious groove in the direction where they staggered away. It wasnât obvious, but it was big and wide.
âThen, then what should we do!â
âYeah, Iâm the only one left in my house. What if they come to my house and snatch my things?â
âThey still have explosives? How could there be explosives?! The only weapon in our family is a knife!â
Everyone in the group was panicking, afraid that their door would be blown open if they closed their eyes.
At this moment, almost everyone was awake. Even Zhao Hao, who was half a neighborhood away, was awake. He hurriedly sent a message to Ye Xingchen.
âLittle Ye, are you alright? I heard that you chased away the intruders. Are you injured?â
Ye Xingchenâs heart warmed as he replied. âItâs okay. 1 didnât go out, so they didnât hit me. Does Brother Zhao know the background of these people? They seem to have a lot of equipment on them and are quite familiar with the layout of our neighborhood.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Xingchen didnât know them well. After all, he didnât usually come into contact with them. However, Zhao Hao was different. Coincidentally, Zhao Hao really knew them.
âAre you talking about the construction team at Emerald Garden? 1 happen to know them.â
âThey also participated in the construction of our residential area before. 1 heard that their prices were quite affordable, but they always cut corners. Not long ago, there was a building in a residential area with a cracked wall and it was even on the news. They did that one.â
âIt seems that their leader had connections to suppress that news.â
âThe developer of our residential area saw this news and changed the construction team. He was afraid that he would be responsible for any problems.â
âI remember their leaderâs name⦠Oh right, something Huaqiang? Everyone called him Brother Qiangzi.â
At this point, Zhao Hao could not help but frown.
âSpeaking of which, theyâre really bad people. I heard from my brothers that after the snow started, they seemed to have played with many women and killed many people with the food in their hands.â
âYouâd better be careful. Donât let them take revenge on you.â
âBut Little Ye, donât worry. Brother Zhao is a soldier after all. If you need anything, just call me. If you need my help, just let me know!â
Ye Xingchen smiled and replied OK.
Zhao Hao was right. Ye Xingchen did need his help, but not now..
