Rebirth: I Will Win Easily in the Apocalypse-Chapter 34 - 25 Revenge 1

When they arrived under Building 10, the sky had completely darkened.

First, they carefully transported the man they had found on the road upstairs and settled him in the vacant Apartment 1402 on the 14th floor.

Now, Uncle Zhuang and his family lived in the neighboring Apartment 1401. When the floodwaters reached the 9th floor, Uncle Zhuang and his family of three, sensing danger, moved to the 14th floor. It proved to be the right decision.

The ice outside had frozen everything below the 9th floor; the ice surface was only 5 or 6 meters below the 11th floor, which offered no safety assurance during this critical period.

Zhong Junfeng and Yin Meng were left to take care of the man, while the others continued transporting supplies downstairs.

Everyone tied the small carts to the steel cable, securing them to ensure they wouldn't fall off halfway during the haul-up.

During several instances of transporting supplies and helping new residents move in, they initially relied on ropes to hoist items up bit by bit, which was both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Eventually, they figured out a way to use a pulley and steel cables to rig a simple elevator.

When not in use, they would stow the steel cable away to prevent theft.

Of course, the pulley and steel cables were kindly provided by Gu Yanzhi.

After transporting the supplies upstairs, they distributed them according to each household's specific needs, generally based on the number of people per household. Due to the man they had rescued, everyone consulted with Yin Meng and Zhong Junfeng, hoping they would continue to care for the man. In return, each household contributed some supplies to the two caretakers, who could choose whatever they needed from today's supplies.

Each household would also take turns providing meals for the man.

The young couple eagerly agreed, as this arrangement suited them well. Taking care of the man merely involved changing his bandages and monitoring his condition, ensuring he stayed alive, which wasn't a troublesome task. Moreover, even if he died, no one would blame them; after all, in this apocalyptic setting, it was merely a case of bad luck for the man.

They were already short on various supplies, so it was best to agree to this favorable situation promptly.

Later, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao went upstairs to their home, where Gu took a bag and retrieved gold from the storage space inside to pack in the bag. To facilitate distribution, Gu Yanzhi evenly divided 500 grams of gold per person, packaging it into bricks, sparing the effort of cutting and weighing.

After a busy day, and having slept late the night before, everyone was utterly exhausted. Without lingering downstairs any longer, they all went home to rest.

"Sister, was there any problem with that man today?" At the dinner table, after everyone had wolfed down their meal and felt satisfied, Gu Yanlin finally felt relaxed enough to think about the day's events.

He had intended to deal with the thug himself, at least crippling him to prevent future misdeeds. His sister had instructed him to let the man go, and although he didn't understand why, he strangely followed her command.

Gu Yanzhi remained silent, and Song Zhao explained directly, "That man is Gu Yanqi's man."

Today, while they were loading supplies downstairs at the office building, Song Zhao and Gu Yanzhi had faintly noticed from afar someone who closely resembled Gu Yanqi, and his expression towards them was not friendly.

Shortly after, robbers appeared and specifically took Gu Yanlin hostage, making it hard not to think more of it.

Sure enough, Song Zhao followed the thugs and found Gu Yanqi. Gu Yanqi had gathered a bunch of lowlifes around him, already showing the early signs of the influence he wielded in the previous life.

However, probably because this time they had swindled nearly all the money from his second uncle's family, it hindered their progress. In the previous life, their power base was much larger than it was now; Gu Yanqi and Gu Qiang were already behind-the-scenes leaders with core members who were not these street lowlifes. This life, Gu Yanqi was still "putting himself out there" and handling things personally, a disparity that made Gu Yanzhi silently applaud himself in his heart.

At 1 AM

The moment the alarm went off, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao immediately sprang from the bed.

They wore body armor close to their skin, donned all-black temperature-adjustable clothing outside, put on robbery-specific masks leaving only their eyes exposed, which were also covered with colored contacts, and slipped height-increasing insoles into their black thermal combat boots. Wrapping themselves up tightly, even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

They also chose two different knives that felt right in hand and strapped them, along with their sheaths, close to their legs. They attached silenced guns to their waists. With black thermal gloves and hats on, everything was ready, and they opened the door, prepared to head out.
