Chapter 41 The Neighbors Who Only Shout Empty Slogans
When the new groupwas established, the owners and tenants in each household began to panic and chat.
"Andrew is like a devil! He robbed three households by breaking in."
"On the third floor, in apartment 301, lived two young people with fiery temperaments. They wanted to resist, but Andrew shot them dead."
"The other two households are in apartments 302 and 401. Scared by him, they obediently gave Andrew all their food and drinks."
"In such days, with no food or drinks at home, they could only wait for death."
Someone indignantly said, "We must unite and fight against this bully!"
Immediately, someone responded, "Yes, with so many households, are we afraid of just five or six people?"
"As long as we unite, he is not to be feared!"
However, someone mentioned, "But he has a gun!"
"So what if he has a gun? How many bullets can he have?"
"Exactly, if we all charge at him, he won't stand a chance against us!"
"With a left kick and a right leg sweep, I guarantee he'll be on the ground!"
"Now that he has a limp leg, it's not worth frightening. If he didn't have a gun, I could take care of him myself!"
Everyone discussed joining forces against Andrew, full of enthusiasm as if they couldn't wait to storm his place and execute him!
However, at this moment, someone interjected, "When should we take action?"
This statement led to a brief silence.
It was easier talking than doing, and they might not dare to take real action.
Everyone understood the logic, but no one wanted to be the one at the forefront facing bullets.
Despite the grand words, they were actually trying to lure others to take the bullet for them.
"This is not a problem, we will definitely be able to handle him!"
"After all, he is a fugitive with a few henchmen. We need to plan carefully."
"Yes, acting recklessly is for fools. We need to win with wisdom!"
Steven rolled his eyes.
Just a moment ago, they were saying Andrew was not to be feared, and now they were talking about winning with wisdom.
They really underestimated Andrew.
At this moment, the security guard, Henry, suddenly spoke up.
"We can't let Andrew continue like this. If this goes on, we will all end up dead by his hands."
"Even if I'm not shot dead, if he robs us of all our food and drinks, I'm as good as dead, right?"
"I can take the lead. Let's go together and teach these shameless people a lesson!"
Henry was usually a man of few words.
He was a veteran, straightforward in nature, and full of passion.
He was also highly respected in the community.
Facing shameless scoundrels like Andrew, he was filled with anger.
"Mr. Garcia, you're amazing! You truly live up to your military background, impressive!"
"Mr. Garcia, I support you. Do you need weapons? You can use our kitchen knives."
"I also have a sword I bought last year during a trip. It cuts through iron like mud! You can borrow it."
"Andrew is just a cripple. Mr. Garcia, if you sneak up on him from behind, you'll have the chance to attack him. Don't give him a chance."
Everyone praised Henry, offering their suggestions and advice.
However, not a single person said they would go with Henry to confront Andrew.
Henry felt a bit helpless.
He pointed out directly, "Andrew has five or six subordinates and guns. I can't go alone."
"At the very least, we need a dozen young men to go with me for safety," Henry continued, "I've been a soldier, and I still have some skills. I can lead the way."
The adult male residents in the building fell silent.
Meanwhile, female residents like Alice, who didn't have adult males in their homes, suddenly became excited as if they had taken a stimulant.
"Yes, we women are weak and helpless, unable to deal with such scoundrels. The men in Building 25, it's time to show your manly spirit!"
"The men in our building are all great heroes. You must succeed!"
"It's time to show your gentlemanly demeanor. We hope you achieve success immediately and protect us fragile women."
The adult male owners were naturally unhappy.
Some of them were unmarried and lived alone, while others shared apartments with friends.
They weren't entirely unwilling to risk their lives to confront the villain, but seeing the attitude of the female owners, who portrayed themselves as righteous angels, made them reluctant.
They felt pressured to put their lives on the line to fight the scoundrel.
This made the men quite unhappy.
"But please, don't! You always prioritize women in everything, and now, in times of danger, you want us to go first? Why is that?"
"Now that we're treating you fairly, if we go, we all go together."
"Online, you often complain and insult, but if you have the guts, go curse Andrew to his face!"
"I'm not saying I won't risk my life, but I'll only protect my own wife and children."
When the female owners saw that the men were unwilling to confront Andrew, they started to scold them.
"Are you even men? Isn't this the time for men to step up?"
"Letting women take risks, you actually said that!"
"You're really disgusting. I will never marry someone like you in the future!"
What started as a new homeowners' group to discuss how to deal with the risks brought by Andrew inexplicably turned into a heated argument about who should confront him, eventually evolving into a gender conflict.
Steven didn't know what to say as he watched.
The situation was exactly the same as in his past life.
That was why, in his previous life, Andrew had killed half the people in the building but still managed to control everyone with a gun.
When they were on the verge of death, they simply closed their eyes, not daring to resist.
Seeing this, Henry anxiously appealed in the group.
"Let's not argue now. Dealing with Andrew is the biggest issue."
In one of the units on the seventh floor lived a female owner named Annie Jenkins.
She was a key figure in the argument between men and women, a 22-year-old recent graduate.
At this point, both men and women in the group were very angry, and whenever Annie saw a male comment, she would scold him.
Even when the well-meaning Henry spoke up, she quickly typed away with her two fingers.
"Henry, why are you pretending to be a good person? You were a soldier, so capable. When faced with such a situation, you should be the first to charge."
"We have so many men in our building. If you trade lives one for one with Andrew and his men, the others will be safe!"
"In today's society, it's clear that women are more important. The only role for you men is to serve us women."
"I hope all the shameless men in the group remember this, don't make me repeat myself!"
