Chapter 57: Kill Wang Meng, Seize Supplies

Wang Meng’s eyes widened instantly, and he grabbed the crowbar at the wound.

This guy was extremely brave, and at this moment, he glared angrily at Liang Yuan, raising his knife again to slash.

Liang Yuan’s face was grim, equally unafraid of death.

He grabbed the steel crowbar with one hand, and at the same time, lifted his leg and kicked hard at Wang Meng’s chest.

Bang!

Wang Meng was kicked and flew, and the steel crowbar was forcibly pulled out of his belly.

In an instant, blood gushed out, and the crowbar was drenched in blood.

Wang Meng’s body slammed into the wall, blood splashing onto the ground, staining it red, mixing with the mold stains.

His mouth also spurted blood, and the knife in his hand finally slipped, falling to the ground with a clang.

Liang Yuan didn’t dare to be careless, stepped forward fiercely, and stabbed the crowbar at Wang Meng’s head.

Pssh!

Double the strength of the ordinary person burst forth, and the flat, sharp head of the crowbar instantly sank into Wang Meng’s eye socket.

Wang Meng twitched twice, finally motionless.

The system prompt sounded.

"You have killed a mutant creature, gained 16 Points."

Liang Yuan didn’t notice the sound, having fought fiercely multiple times, the danger was exceptional.

Even though his strength surpassed normal by twice, he couldn’t help but pant heavily.

Adrenaline secretion inevitably brings fatigue.

He increased his strength attribute, not constitution, so he would still get tired.

Even during combat, exerting too much force would consume more stamina.

Simply put, his strength improved, but the consumption of stamina also increased.

In other words, his burst power increased, but endurance decreased.

"It seems all attributes must be balanced to avoid weaknesses."

Liang Yuan leaned against the wall, resting slightly, analyzing the battle.

At the other end of the corridor, the property owners were beating up Liu Erlong’s gang, and soon screams kept coming.

Liang Yuan had rested enough, grabbed Wang Meng’s corpse, and strode over, shouting loudly: "Wang Meng is dead, who dares to act?"

He lifted the corpse high, his voice like thunder.

Immediately attracting everyone’s attention, they looked at the bloody corpse held up in the air, and the property owners above finally began to calm down.

Liang Yuan threw down the corpse, stepped forward, and shouted: "Old Ma? Brother Cai? Ding Yan? Zhao Kai?"

"Here, I’m here."

The crowd parted, and Old Ma quickly squeezed out.

Cai Zhi, also covered in blood, squeezed out from the corner.

Ding Yan and Zhao Kai likewise had blood-stained hands, Ding Yan even had blood on her face.

However, it was obvious that the blood wasn’t hers, but the enemy’s.

All four answered, and Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

These four were his initial allies, already somewhat trusted, losing any of them made him feel a bit distressed.

Liang Yuan looked at the other property owners, many meeting his gaze.

Some had a fervent look in their eyes, some showed respect.

Others were wary, and more had a crazed expression.

It was the excitement after a fight, blood boiling.

Liang Yuan scanned around, then turned to look at the people lying on the ground.

Among these were members of Liu Erlong’s gang, and also the courageous property owners.

Liang Yuan spoke in a deep voice: "Everyone, Liu Erlong’s people have been defeated, the main villain has been eliminated, the rest are just minor pests, they won’t last long."

"Right now, there are injured property owners, they are the heroes who defeated Liu Erlong’s gang, we can’t ignore them. I propose we temporarily stop and save them first."

Liang Yuan’s words instantly gained the injured property owners’ favor.

And the uninjured ones showed little resistance to Liang Yuan’s arrangement.

After all, it was for everyone’s benefit.

However, in this society, there are always some who like to exploit opportunities, muddy the waters.

Just as everyone was preparing to follow Liang Yuan’s arrangement.

Suddenly, someone hidden among the crowd shouted: "Liu Erlong is dead, what about our food he took?"

With these words, everyone reacted.

Immediately, some turned and ran upstairs.

Others also realized, shouting: "Quick, go to Liu Erlong’s home!"

"Yes, go to Liu Erlong’s place to seize the food back!"

"I know, I know where Liu Erlong lives. He lives on the fourteenth floor and has Director Liu’s wife and daughter captive, follow me."

Instantly, everyone rushed to the fourteenth floor, no one paying attention to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan frowned at the scene.

A group of disorderly people, cooperative when the wind is favorable, difficult to control when unfavorable.

Ma Guocai stomped his feet anxiously, shouting: "Stop, come back! You... you..."

Cai Zhi was also anxious, yelling: "Liu Erlong was killed by us!"

Seeing them panicking, Liang Yuan spoke: "Alright, stop shouting, let’s focus on helping the injured."

Ma Guocai couldn’t help but say: "Liang Yuan, what about those supplies..."

Liang Yuan gave a look, Ma Guocai glanced at the injured people on the ground, immediately understood and shut up.

Liang Yuan told Ding Yan: "You focus on saving people, I’ll go up and check."

Ding Yan nodded: "Be careful."

Liang Yuan waved his hand, quickly headed upstairs.

Passing the fourteenth floor, everyone was crazily smashing the doors.

He thought for a moment, didn’t stop here, directly sprinted to the twenty-first floor.

Entering 2101, he immediately activated the system, quickly swept through the room’s supplies, storing everything in the inventory, leaving only some moldy, spoiled rice and flour.

Then he hurried to the twenty-eighth floor.

The twenty-eighth floor had the most supplies, including hundreds of mutant fish hanging in the living room.

Liang Yuan didn’t touch these fish, as eating them accelerates mutation progress.

Moreover, these fish had been hanging here for an unknown period, whether they were spoiled or rotten, it was hard to say.

Ignoring the mutant fish, he stored all the packaged, unspoiled supplies still within their shelf life into the system’s inventory.

In the blink of an eye, the entire room was half-empty.

After finishing everything, Liang Yuan sneered, quickly closed the door, and left.

To control these property owners, one must control food.

That’s everyone’s lifeline.

Previously, with Old Ma and others around, it was hard to operate.

Now with property owners looting supplies, it just gave him the opportunity.

Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed, walked out of the room, intending to go downstairs when he heard terrified screams.

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Could it be remnants of Liu Erlong’s gang?"

He immediately went downstairs, just reached the twentieth floor when he saw two disheveled figures climbing up.

Liang Yuan immediately shouted: "Stop."

Those two were startled, seeing it was Liang Yuan, instantly rejoiced.

"Brother Liang, there’s a ghost, a ghost."

"Brother Liang, Wang Yanmei on the fourteenth floor turned into a ghost, her fingernails are so long, killed many people."

Each of them said quickly, explaining the situation downstairs.

Liang Yuan’s expression instantly grew serious upon hearing this.

He quickly asked: "Are you talking about the mother and daughter Liu Erlong held captive?"

"Yes, yes, the girl is dead, her mother Wang Yanmei turned into a ghost, now killing everywhere, quick, leave the unit."

The two in panic broke free from Liang Yuan’s arm, quickly ran upstairs, preparing to pack and escape.
