Chapter 52 Wealth Exposed
Elinor reached out to Grace.
Naturally, she couldn't help for nothing.
Grace also understood the etiquette and handed her a pack of cookies.
Although not much, it was enough for her to eat for two days. Elinor was satisfied, and then she left.
After Elinor left, the atmosphere in the room became extremely oppressive.
The wound was still causing intense pain, making the three men lying on the sofa tightly wrapped in blankets, unwilling to move.
Paul looked at Alice on the floor, his eyes filled with sorrow.
As for the others, their gazes towards her were full of hostility.
Larry took a deep breath. "We can't just wait to die like this. We must get medicine from Steven! Otherwise, if the wound gets infected, we will all die in a very miserable way!"
He looked at Grace and Ivy, and said in a deep voice, "You should understand, if you don't have men to protect you, it's very difficult to survive in this post-apocalyptic world."
Grace and Ivy's faces were not looking good.
They understood that what Larry said was true, otherwise Grace wouldn't have chosen to team up with them in the first place.
"But... we have no way to get to Steven at all."
Grace took a deep breath, looking helpless.
Even the attempts to overpower them had failed, resulting in casualties. Now, they had no way out.
Larry gritted his teeth, the pain in his body making him reckless.
"I have a plan, we can give it a try!"
The others' eyes lit up, looking at Larry.
"What plan?"
"As long as there's hope, we must try!"
"Yes, just waiting like this is as good as waiting to die. We might as well take a chance!"
Larry said, "Steven has a fireplace at home, which means he has stocked up on a lot of fuel. And judging from his videos, food is also very abundant."
"Currently, only a few of us know this information. But now, obviously, we can't break into Steven's house with just us."
"Instead, we should leak this information out, let everyone in the entire building know!"
Larry's eyes were as venomous as a cobra's.
"The few of us can't handle him, but can't a few hundred people handle him?"
"Not to mention there's a lunatic Andrew, he has guns! That group of people are capable of any evil, they dare to kill, they will definitely go after Steven!"
"By then, we just need some medicine and food, it shouldn't be difficult."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zachary excitedly said, "Good idea, I agree!"
The others didn't hesitate for long, nodding in agreement one after another.
After all, at the moment, they had no better options.
Alice suddenly burst out cursing at everyone, "You guys are too shameless! How can you do this?"
"I'm supposed to live with Steven in the future, what am I going to do if you ruin him?"
Grace's face turned cold; she went over and slapped her hard, leaving Alice's face swollen like a pig's head.
Grace grabbed Alice by the hair, dragging her into the bedroom amidst her screams.
Then Grace shouted to Paul, "Paul, come over here and rape her!"
Paul's injury was on his arm, but it was not too severe.
After all, Steven didn't aim for vital points from the start; he wanted these people to die from infection and pus.
So, even with the arrow wound, Paul could still engage in intercourse.
Paul hesitated for a moment upon hearing Grace's words, "Grace, isn't this wrong? I truly like her, how can I harm her?"
Alice was trembling on the bed, pleading for mercy.
"No, you can't, you can't do this to me! Paul, didn't you say you love me the most?"
Grace spat, disdainfully saying, "Bitch, you've made us suffer so much, just letting you sleep with Paul is already being kind to you!"
She said to Paul, "Paul, don't be stupid anymore! This woman is very cheap, you doesn't know how many people she's slept with."
"You just want to have sex with her, right? I'll give you the chance to fulfill your wish. Let's see how she dare deceive you in the future!"
As a woman, Grace knew well how to deal with Alice.
As long as Paul slept with her, his novelty for her would fade.
Paul roared and charged into the bedroom, pushing Grace away.
"I won't allow you to say that about her! Alice and I truly love each other, I will never force her!"
Paul said firmly.
Grace stared, pointing at Paul, unable to speak out of anger.
"You're a waste of space!"
She had underestimated the depth of Paul's infatuation.
Paul said, "No, I'm not! Alice, she is a truly good woman to me. I believe that as long as I patiently win her over, one day she will fall in love with me!"
Paul turned back to Alice, showing a self-assured smile.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
He remembered when he first arrived in the city, young and unfamiliar with life.
With only a middle school education, many people looked down on him.
Only Alice had given him a kind smile, even kindly asking Paul to help her move things.
During his lonely times, Alice gave him the chance to take her out for a meal.
The feeling of being trusted remained warm in Paul's heart.
He would rather hurt himself than hurt Alice.
Even though Alice had just said those things, he believed it was Steven's fault, and Alice was just deceived.
Yes, as long as he patiently waited, Alice would eventually realize that he was the best man for her!
Seeing Paul's silly smile, Alice felt relieved.
Although allowing him to rape her wasn't a big issue, she still found it disgusting deep down.
The others in the room were shocked by Paul's actions.
But now, everyone's focus was on uniting with all the people in the building to confront Steven.
So, they didn't care much about Paul's behavior.
Grace and the others decided to reveal the news of Steven's well-stocked supplies to everyone.
With the help of everyone's strength, they planned to break into Steven's house.
Only then could they seize the medicine and save Larry and the others' lives.
Therefore, Grace posted Steven's previous videos and photos in the group chat of the previous residents.
The reason for sharing in this group was naturally to make sure Andrew saw it, too.
Grace said, "Neighbors, now I know that there are still people living such a happy life. This selfish behavior is simply outrageous!"
"These videos were taken in the past few days at Steven's house. Think about the days we've been through recently, and the days he's been living? Is this fair?"
"Let's discuss, how should we handle this matter."
Usually, there was little activity in this group chat.
Only Andrew occasionally threatened the neighbors inside.
So, when Grace shared so many videos and pictures, it immediately caught everyone's attention.
Subsequently, the neighbors clicked on the videos and started watching.
Upon seeing the beautiful life in the videos, everyone was so excited they almost went crazy!
"He's wearing pajamas in the house? It's more than 158 degrees Fahrenheit below zero in our house, how is he heating his place?"
"His lights are on at night! Where does he get electricity from?"
"Is this really a recent video? Isn't it from the past?"
Some people raised doubts.
There was no way around it; everyone was currently enduring hunger and cold, making it hard to imagine someone enjoying a delicious meal in a warm and comfortable house.
