Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 70 Bait
Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Bait
Ding Yan’s face drastically changed the instant she was provoked by that look.
Furious, she cursed, "What are you looking at? Look again, and I’ll gouge your eyes out!"
The young guy immediately smirked and replied, "Hehe, those things are meant to be looked at, aren’t they? And not just looked at, you’ll have to let people enjoy them too, hahaha."
The dirty joke instantly drew laughter from the others.
Ding Yan’s face turned bright red with anger, and she cursed, "You bunch of idiots, do you really think letting those mutant cats go will make things better?"
"Cats have a strong hunting instinct. Once they’ve tasted human flesh, they’ll definitely see humans as prey."
"You’ve run away now, but they’re roaming the hallways. Are you just going to hide at home forever?"
"When they start hunting upstairs, you won’t even have fish to eat. You’ll all starve to death."
The group fell silent, many of them showing signs of panic.
However, the young guy seemed to feel humiliated by the woman’s mockery and found an excuse to curse, "Damn, like you’re so smart? You think we haven’t thought of all that?"
"The problem is, how dangerous is it to kill these wild cats? People will die!"
"Why should we take such a huge risk?"
"Why should others get to stay safe at home?"
"You talk all high and mighty, why don’t you go deal with those beasts yourself?"
Cursing continuously, he felt he had taken the moral high ground and once again became proud.
A few middle-aged men nearby also nodded repeatedly, thinking the young guy had a point.
Those wild cats were dangerous to everyone, but at least everyone was at risk back then.
Not like now, where the most danger was for the few people stuck on the eleventh floor.
Why should they risk dealing with those beasts when others wouldn’t even be grateful?
The young guy felt triumphant, thinking he was so wise.
This woman with a saint complex dares to criticize him?
Furious, Ding Yan pointed at the guy, her chest heaving, "You... you..."
At that moment, she couldn’t find a reason to argue back.
Because it did seem like the guy was right; they were taking risks while others were enjoying the benefits.
While everyone was arguing endlessly.
Liang Yuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the young guy before anyone could react.
The young guy was taken aback and started to struggle violently, "What are you doing? Let go, let me go!"
Liang Yuan slapped him hard, the sound of the slap echoed, and the guy’s carotid artery was heavily hit. His eyes rolled back, and he went limp.
Everyone around was shocked, their faces filled with fear, and they quickly backed away, distancing themselves from Liang Yuan.
Ignoring them, Liang Yuan said directly to Zhao Kai, "Zhao Kai, get a rope."
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, nodding, "Oh, okay, Brother Liang."
He rushed to the bedroom and came back soon after, "Brother Liang, no rope, will this belt do?"
Liang Yuan took the belt and tied the young guy up, then stood up and glanced at the others.
The middle-aged man who had supported the young guy was nervous and said, "Kid, don’t be impulsive, we’re all in the same boat..."
Before he could finish, Liang Yuan said calmly, "I have a plan to get us out of here. Do you want to hear it?"
His words immediately cut off the middle-aged man, and everyone turned to look at Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan scanned them and said, "I’ll wake him up in a while, then make some noise after opening the door."
"Those cats will probably come in at the sound."
"With him as bait to attract the cats, we can sneak out and lock the door behind us, trapping the cats inside and allowing us to leave freely."
"That’s my plan. If anyone has any objections, speak now."
Everyone immediately fell silent, glancing at the young guy on the ground. No one dared to say a word.
Even the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier now kept his mouth shut.
Ding Yan looked at Liang Yuan in surprise, not expecting him to come up with this idea.
But she only hesitated briefly and did not object.
Seeing no opposition, Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said to Cai Zhi, "Brother Cai, open the kitchen door and drag him in."
Cai Zhi nodded without a word and dragged the young guy into the kitchen.
Liang Yuan followed and tied the guy to the pipe under the sink with some torn clothes.
Ding Yan walked in at this moment, looking hesitant.
Liang Yuan glanced at her and said, "Times have changed. You can’t reason with these people."
"Human nature is selfish. In these times, only power and force can make quick decisions."
Ding Yan nodded slightly and hummed in agreement, then suddenly asked, "Why him?"
"Hmm?"
"I mean, why choose him as the bait among so many people?"
Liang Yuan glanced at her, noting a trace of anticipation in her eyes.
He simply smiled, "I just don’t like him."
She stared at him and suddenly laughed, "Is it because he insulted me?"
Liang Yuan laughed, "You’re overthinking it."
Ding Yan rolled her eyes at him but felt a bit pleased inside.
After securing the scoundrel, Liang Yuan exited the kitchen and said, "Everyone hide. I’ll be in the bathroom. Once the mutant cats come in and get attracted to the bait in the kitchen, I’ll shut the door, and you can run."
Everyone nodded quickly.
"Listen to the kid."
"We’ll follow you."
No one mentioned the bait. The middle-aged man even looked at Liang Yuan with fear and apprehension.
Just a few arguments, and this man wants to use someone as bait. Terrifying.
Ignoring their thoughts, Liang Yuan said, "Alright, everyone hide well."
With that, he entered the kitchen. When no one was watching, he placed a few mutant fish beside the guy.
He wanted to see if the mutant cats would prefer the guy or the fish.
After placing the fish, Liang Yuan grabbed a crowbar and smashed it onto the young guy’s leg.
Crack!
The guy was instantly awakened by the pain and wailed loudly.
Seeing Liang Yuan, he cursed, "I’ll fuck your mother..."
Expressionless, Liang Yuan quickly left the kitchen and moved to the door, stealthily unlocking it and hiding behind it.
The door was immediately burst open by a swift shadow.
Liang Yuan saw it was the black-and-white giant cat!
Two more spotted cats quickly followed.
