Chapter 53 The Momentum-Building Plan

"Old Ma? Ma Guocai? Is that you?"

"Eh? Cai Zhi? Is it you, Cai Zhi?"

As they stepped out of Room 28, someone in the hallway suddenly exclaimed.

It turned out that someone had recognized Ma Guocai and Cai Zhi.

One wouldn’t be surprised, the two had previously lived on the hallway of the 31st floor and had quite a bit of contact with many people.

Before the great flood, Old Ma and his old partner Li Lanhua were veterans of the neighborhood committee and were quite familiar with the property owners of the community. Naturally, they knew a lot of people.

Ma Guocai and Cai Zhi exchanged a look. Ma Guocai whispered, "Let’s take this opportunity to spread the news that Liu Erlong is dead, to support Xiaoliang."

Cai Zhi nodded immediately, "You’re right, this way we can win over people’s hearts and have everyone deal with Liu Erlong’s lackeys downstairs together."

They then both looked at Liang Yuan, seeking his opinion in a low voice.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, but we need to act quickly and not delay."

They both nodded right away. Ma Guocai turned his head and shouted towards the hallway, "Who? Who called me? I’m Ma Guocai."

Cai Zhi also said, "I’m Cai Zhi. Who’s the old buddy?"

Three people walked out from the hallway, one of whom, an old man, shouted at Ma Guocai, "Old Ma, it’s me, Old Huang, don’t you remember? We used to play chess together."

Ma Guocai immediately shouted, "Old Huang? Oh, how did you get so thin?"

Old Huang couldn’t help but say, "What are you doing? I just heard someone screaming miserably upstairs. What happened?"

Ma Guocai said, "Old Huang, good news, great news, Liu Erlong is dead!"

"Ah? Liu Erlong... dead?"

"What? Liu Erlong is dead? How did he die?"

"Holy shit, really? Where did this news come from?"

The three people were instantly shocked and quickly questioned.

Cai Zhi then started talking to a young man named Zhang Tao among them.

"Zhang Tao, you are hiding on the 28th floor, I didn’t know that."

Zhang Tao hurriedly said, "Brother Cai, hurry and tell me, how did Liu Erlong die?"

Cai Zhi pointed to Liang Yuan who was already walking downstairs, "It’s him, Liang Yuan, the property owner on the 32nd floor, you’ve heard of him, right?"

Zhang Tao quickly nodded, of course, he’d heard of him.

This Liang Yuan on the 32nd floor had become well-known in the past week.

Because he was one of the few who dared to confront Liu Erlong head-on.

A few days ago, Liu Erlong came to his door time and again, only to be beaten and driven away by Liang Yuan each time.

This incident had already spread throughout Unit 1.

How could Zhang Tao, living in the hallway of the 28th floor, not know about it?

He widened his eyes and asked, "Don’t tell me, he killed Liu Erlong."

Cai Zhi said, "Ha, yes, it’s him. Just now, Liu Erlong went upstairs again, and Liang Yuan, alone, killed Liu Erlong and his gang, a total of six people. If you don’t believe it, the blood in the 32nd floor corridor hasn’t dried up yet, and Liu Erlong’s body is still lying in the hallway on that floor."

"Old Ma, is what Xiaocai said true?" Old Huang couldn’t help but ask.

Ma Guocai nodded, "Absolutely true. If it weren’t for Liang Yuan, who knows how long we would have been bullied by Liu Erlong."

"Oh, enough talking. We’re going to find Liu Erlong’s lackeys to settle the score, do you have any grudges against them? If so, follow us."

As soon as they heard this, they got excited, but Old Huang, being older, hesitated.

Seeing this, Old Ma suddenly said, "If we catch those lackeys, maybe we can get our food back."

With these words, the eyes of the three people present lit up.

Food!

Yes, with Liu Erlong dead, his lackeys would scatter and wouldn’t amount to anything.

The food that Liu Erlong and his men took from them could be reclaimed.

They immediately got excited and quickly followed.

Cai Zhi shouted, "Liu Erlong is dead, Liu Erlong has been killed by Liang Yuan. Everyone, let’s go find his lackeys for revenge and to seize food."

He led the shout, and the hallway shook with each floor they passed.

Many people came out immediately to inquire about the situation.

Upon learning that Liu Erlong was dead, everyone got excited and followed Liang Yuan downstairs to fight Liu Erlong’s gang.

So, Liang Yuan and his group gradually increased their numbers.

By the time they reached the 11th floor, there were already dozens of people behind them!

...

Time goes back to half an hour earlier.

When Zhao Kai poured a basin of hot water out, Wu Hua and Zhang Li, who were standing behind Liu Erlong’s gang, were caught off guard, getting splashed on the face with hot water.

The boiling water instantly reddened his forehead.

In that moment, Wu Hua screamed miserably.

"Ah—it’s hot, hot!"

Zhang Li, beside him, didn’t fare any better, getting his upper body soaked, his arm instantly turning red from the burn.

Luckily, the two of them were on the outermost edge of the crowd and didn’t get soaked too badly.

Right after that, Liang Yuan rushed out.

With a short crowbar spear in hand, he stabbed fiercely, making a bloody hole with each strike.

The sight made Wu Hua’s scalp tingle, and he screamed in terror, retreating downstairs uncontrollably.

By the time he reached the bottom floor, he saw that Liang Yuan had already driven a rod into Liu Erlong’s shoulder.

Liu Erlong roared continuously, his appearance like a trapped beast, struggling madly in his final moments.

At this moment, Wu Hua knew that Liu Erlong was finished!

He said nothing and hurriedly ran downstairs to save his life.

Zhang Li was a step slower to react, but he immediately realized and followed Wu Hua in escape.

As soon as they reached the 29th floor, they heard Zhao Kai shouting ’Liu Erlong is dead’.

In an instant, Wu Hua nearly lost his footing and fell.

His face turned pale with fear, and he kept muttering, "It’s over, it’s all over!"

Chen Hu had been guarding the door on the 29th floor. Suddenly hearing the shouts from upstairs, he couldn’t help but twitch.

He quickly turned and looked upstairs, seeing Wu Hua and Zhang Li fleeing.

Chen Hu grabbed Wu Hua and urgently asked, "What’s going on? What’s happening up there?"

Wu Hua, sweating profusely, shouted in terror, "They’re killing, killing people! Brother Long and his gang were killed by that guy Liang!"

Chen Hu was instantly stunned and said in disbelief, "What the fuck are you saying? Brother Long and his gang were killed by just one guy named Liang?"

Wu Hua anxiously shook off his hand and said, "Go see for yourself, go see for yourself."

With that, he urgently continued to flee downstairs.

Chen Hu grabbed Zhang Li, who was behind, and shouted, "Fucking hell, is what President Wu said true? Stop right there..."

Zhang Li ignored him, trying desperately to shake him off, fleeing downstairs in terror.

The scene of Liang Yuan’s brutal killing was too fierce, too ruthless, too savage!

He was scared out of his wits.

Though he didn’t say anything, his crazed escape convinced Chen Hu that Wu Hua was right.

Brother Long and his gang were indeed wiped out!
