Chapter 37 Taking the Initiative
Out of hatred for Steven and the desire for Steven's house, the two fake friends temporarily formed a united front.
However, when it came to how to take over Steven's house, the two of them had a good discussion.
"If we want to take the house by force, the two of us may not necessarily be a match for Steven. We need the help of external forces."
Even in normal times, the two of them couldn't beat Steven.
Not to mention now, they were cold and hungry, while Steven was full of energy and lacked nothing to eat or drink.
Ivy gritted her teeth. "Why don't we call a few neighbors to go together?"
Alice glared coldly at her.
"Are you stupid?" she scolded, continuing, "Even if there are many resources in Steven's house, they are not enough to share with so many people!"
"So, the fewer people who know about this, the better."
Anxiously, Ivy asked, "Then what should we do?"
Alice smugly said, "We can call Paul over!"
Paul was her most loyal pursuer, obeying Alice in every way.
Although Steven had pursued Alice before, he at least had some principles and wouldn't be manipulated by Alice as easily.
But this Paul had absolutely no principles; he was willing to do anything for Alice.
So Alice planned to have Paul help her take over Steven's house.
Ivy clapped her hands with a smile, "What a great idea! Paul is really useful."
Alice immediately called Paul.
At this moment, Paul was skin and bones due to hunger.
As a warehouse employee, he had plenty of food at home, but most of it had been given to Alice.
Paul was completely unaware that Alice was just playing with him. He was self-absorbed, believing that his sacrifices would lead to Alice marrying him in the future.
As soon as he saw Alice's call, he forgot about hunger and cold, and immediately ran over.
When he arrived at Alice's house, Alice immediately approached him, looking aggrieved, talking about how Steven had mistreated her.
"Steven is simply a jerk!"
"I only asked him for some food, and he wanted me to sleep with him."
"Paul, you know I'm not that kind of loose woman!"
Seeing Alice's tear-stained face, Paul, thinking about her coming to him first after she had been mistreated, felt extremely pleased.
He thought, 'See, why does she come to me when she has problems and not to others?'
'It shows that I hold a special place in her heart!'
'This is probably love!'
Paul felt it was time to show his manly demeanor.
Maybe he could succeed this time and win Alice over directly!
So he patted his chest and said, "Steven is too much! How dare he do this to you, I must kill him!"
Alice and Ivy exchanged a glance, thinking, 'Paul is so easily fooled.'
They had prepared many arguments, but before they could use them, Paul took the initiative to take care of Steven.
Alice grabbed Paul's arm and looked at him with seductive eyes.
"Steven's house has plenty of food! And there's a fireplace, it's especially warm."
"Why does such a scoundrel get to live in such a house?" She grumbled.
"Paul, let's figure out a way to take his house. In the future, we can live together there. What do you think?"
Paul already didn't like Steven because Steven was better- looking and wealthier than him.
In the past, both of them were interested in Alice, but Alice naturally treated Steven better than him.
Now, with Alice embracing his arm, he felt a subtle touch through the layers of clothing.
He felt a sense of victory in his heart.
He immediately said, "Okay! Alice, rest assured, I'll take care of this matter!"
Seeing Paul agree, Alice added, "But you must be careful. Steven is so selfish and shameless that if we try to take his house, he might fight back."
"So we need to bring weapons, and it's best to strike first!"
Ivy chimed in, "In my opinion, we might as well just kill him!"
She hated Steven the most because she had sent her intimate photos to Steven, but he not only wasn't interested but also said she was too ugly!
If this matter were to be leaked, she would even contemplate the thought of death.
So, Steven had to die!
Paul hesitated slightly when he heard this.
Killing someone may sound easy, but everyone had lived in a civilized society for over twenty years.
Killing someone for the first time wasn't a simple matter.
Seeing Paul hesitate, Alice became unhappy.
"Don't you agree?"
"Steven has treated me so badly, and you still show mercy to him. It seems like all your past declarations of love for me were fake!"
Seeing Alice angry, Paul resurfacedhis ingratiating nature .
He quickly said, "Alice, don't be mad, I'll do as you say!"
As long as he could have Alice, he was willing to do even that!
After all, in the apocalypse, people's moral values were slowly deteriorating.
Alice said, "Alright, no time to waste, let's go now!"
"When we get there, you find a way to get Steven to open the door. Once he does, we..."
She made a throat-slitting gesture.
Ivy brought over the prepared tools, including two kitchen knives and a steel pipe, which she had taken from a dismantled clothes rack.
Paul took one of the kitchen knives and tucked it into his thick-down jacket.
After they were ready, they went to Steven's house with fierce determination.
When they arrived at Steven's door, Alice and Ivy hid with weapons in hand, avoiding being seen by Steven through the peephole.
The two of them signaled Paul to knock on the door and lure Steven out.
Paul nodded, his hand touching the kitchen knife hidden in his clothes, instantly feeling more confident.
He knocked on the door.
"Steven, Steven, are you home? It's Paul!"
Hearing the voice outside, Steven was somewhat curious.
"Paul?"
Although he and Paul both worked in the warehouse, their relationship was not good on ordinary days.
Especially because they had both pursued Alice, they had some conflicts.
Steven thought, 'This guy must have come to see me for no good reason—after all, in the apocalypse, there couldn't be any good news in this world.'
He did not go to open the door but turned on the TV to check the surveillance.
Sure enough, he saw the scene outside the door.
Seeing the two women hiding on either side of the door, holding kitchen knives and steel pipes with murderous intent, Steven felt a chill ran down his spine.
Despite he was fully prepared, the ruthless nature of these two women still made him shiver.
"Do you want to kill me? Youare not worthy!"
Steven sneered, and a cold, murderous aura spread in his icy blue eyes.
Who would kill whom? That was still uncertain!
