Chapter 95
When Ethan had been stocking up before the disaster, he had deliberately purchased several imitation firearms. He figured they might come in handy if he ever needed to frighten someone away without actually using lethal force.He hadn’t expected Caleb to possess a real gun.Although the world had descended into chaos, the government hadn’t completely collapsed. It was still functioning, even if its operations had slowed considerably under the devastating flood.Firearms remained strictly controlled.If Ethan openly used a real gun in front of dozens of residents, it could attract unwanted attention. Even if the authorities were too overwhelmed to investigate immediately, there would eventually be questions about where he had obtained it.That was one problem.The other was explaining himself.Unless the situation became completely uncontrollable, he preferred not to expose the fact that he possessed a real firearm.Of course, if his life genuinely depended on it, he wouldn’t hesitate

Some residents even turned toward the eighteenth floor, desperately begging to be let inside.The same people who had been shouting and threatening Ethan’s group only moments earlier were now stumbling over one another like trapped animals.When death stared them in the face, all their earlier bravado disappeared.Ethan had no intention of opening the door.He stood behind the reinforced steel bars, his expression blank as he watched the chaos unfold. It was almost like watching a performance, except the screams and blood were painfully real.Maya clenched her fists. Her lips parted as though she wanted to say something, but no words came out.After a moment, she turned her head away.The man wielding the cleaver was completely covered in blood. His face was twisted, his eyes wild, and his appearance was so terrifying that he looked like something dragged straight out of hell.A few of the larger, more physically imposing men finally gathered their courage and rushed toward him with t

Marcus kept shouting for everyone to charge, but he remained firmly rooted where he stood.The situation had become rather awkward.Just moments earlier, the crowd had been eager to smash through the reinforced door. Now that it was actually open, with Ethan standing behind it holding a gun, nobody seemed willing to take the first step.Oliver’s face burned with embarrassment.He cursed the cowards under his breath. They had been so enthusiastic when they were safely standing behind him, but now that things had become dangerous, not one of them was willing to move.With no other choice, he forced himself to speak.“Even if that’s a real gun, how many bullets do you have? Seven? Do you honestly think seven bullets are enough to stop all of us?”His words seemed to wake the crowd from its fear.“That’s right! He only has seven bullets. What are we afraid of?”“Exactly! It’s just a gun. There are dozens of us!”Several people began raising their weapons again, trying to convince themselv

“If you don’t want to cooperate, then at least lend us a third of your food,” Oliver said, forcing a smile despite the stiffness in his expression. “Once we get through this difficult period, we’ll pay everything back. If you’re worried we won’t keep our word, we can even write an IOU.”“No.”Ethan’s answer came without hesitation.Just one word.The atmosphere in the hallway immediately changed. Whatever pretense of a friendly discussion remained had finally disappeared.Someone in the crowd, encouraged by their numerical advantage, shouted impatiently, “Oliver, why are you still wasting time talking? Just break down the door and rush them!”“Exactly! Break it down! They’re the selfish ones here. Whatever happens next is their own fault!”“Ethan, think carefully about this!” another man called out. “We’re all residents of the same building. There’s no reason to make things so ugly!”Oliver felt a flicker of satisfaction. The crowd was becoming restless, just as he’d hoped. Still, he
Chapter 91
The reinforced steel door, lined with sharp metal spikes, slowly swung open.Heavy footsteps followed as the people inside began to emerge.For some reason, the entire crowd fell silent.An unspoken tension settled over the seventeenth-floor hallway. Several people instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons, while others took half a step backward.They had all heard the stories about the eighteenth floor. Some had even witnessed the violence firsthand. These people weren’t ordinary survivors who would surrender at the first sign of trouble. They had killed before, and they wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.Ethan stepped out first.His expression was calm, and a long, sharp blade rested in his hand. He wore protective clothing, and his posture suggested that he had come prepared for whatever happened next.The crowd stared at him.This was the man who had stabbed Marcus Vane without blinking. He was also the one who had refused to share supplies with anyone, no matter how des

There was hardly anything left to scavenge outside. If they wanted to survive, their only option was to search inside the residential building.Oliver knew that if things were going to get ugly, everyone would have to act together. He wasn’t foolish enough to take responsibility for the consequences alone.So he settled on the same plan he’d considered before: gather as many residents as possible and overwhelm the eighteenth floor with numbers.With so many people participating, surely Ethan’s group wouldn’t be able to fight them all off.That evening, Ethan had just finished sparring with Caleb. Sweat soaked his shirt, and his breathing was still slightly uneven as he stepped out of the apartment.A knock came from downstairs.When Ethan went to investigate, he found a man standing outside the door, wrapped from head to toe in thick clothing. Only his eyes were visible. Without saying much, the stranger slipped a folded piece of paper through the narrow opening.“You’re in danger,” h
