Chapter 22: Slightly
While Liang Yu was still pondering, another message popped up in the group, and it was about him.
1601 Wu Chusheng: “@1001 Liang Yu, you little beast, don’t be nervous, you’re next. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die so easily.”
Liang Yu felt nothing after reading it; instead, he gave him a universally recognized gesture.
After dealing with that, he continued his video call with Lan Ling.
“Xiao Luobo, don’t worry, I’m fine here, he can’t do anything to me.”
“It’s you, though. Now you understand why I said what I did, right?”
“Remember, you absolutely cannot open the door or go outside. They can’t force their way into your home for now.”
“If anything unusual happens, remember to find me immediately.”
After receiving Lan Ling’s confirmation, Liang Yu hung up the video call.
At this moment, Liang Yu switched the surveillance to his front door.
Wu Chusheng and a few others stood in front of his door, holding blood-stained machetes.
It was then that Liang Yu suddenly remembered something: hadn’t he fed them the Holy Water 2.0 earlier?
Why did they seem completely fine?
Thinking of this, Liang Yu pulled up another surveillance screen, which showed the subordinate whose arm he had chopped off.
Liang Yu saw the subordinate on the screen, lying painfully on the bed, his face noticeably flushed, and upon closer inspection, signs of skin ulceration had already begun to appear.
Liang Yu understood after seeing this: they hadn’t had a reaction because their own resistance and immune systems were currently maintaining a balance. If a sudden illness or virus invaded their bodies,
the balance would be broken, and the effects of the Holy Water 2.0 would become apparent.
Thinking of this, Liang Yu wondered how he could make them fall victim without going back.
Lying in his rocking chair, about to take a sip of water from his teacup, his gaze fell on the third floor.
He suddenly remembered that there was an external firepower room on the third floor.
He immediately teleported to the third floor.
Indeed, he found several external firepower炮架 in this room.
However, these were not the old炮架. After being modified, they looked more like launchers.
It was a fool-proof operation: just load, aim, and press the launch button to complete the operation.
So, Liang Yu pulled up the surveillance footage again from there.
At this moment, Wu Chusheng and the other three were taking turns smashing Liang Yu’s front door.
“Liang Yu, you little beast, I advise you to come out yourself. I’ll give you a quick death later.”
“If I have to open the door and go in myself, I’ll make you feel that even death is a luxury.”
After saying that, he saw that Liang Yu inside the house had no reaction whatsoever.
“Liang Yu, are you trying to play dead?”
“Do you think we’ll let you off if you don’t make a sound?”
With that, their door-smashing efforts intensified.
However, due to the extreme cold, none of the four of them could smash for long before they took turns.
In such a short time, a hole had already been broken in Liang Yu’s front door.
Liang Yu immediately took out the Holy Water 2.0 that he hadn’t used up last time, wrapped them in a plastic ball, and wrapped it three layers thick, mainly fearing that it would explode in the barrel after launch.
It wouldn’t be a big deal if it exploded, but it would be unpleasant to get himself disgusted.
So, when Liang Yu pressed the switch, he heard a soft ‘bang’, and then watched the surveillance screen. Not long after, the ball he had wrapped, containing the Holy Water 2.0, landed right on his front door.
When the ball hit the door, it completely burst open, spraying the Holy Water 2.0 all around.
Whether it was Liang Yu’s door and walls, or Wu Chusheng and his subordinates’ clothes and bodies, everything was covered in Holy Water 2.0.
At this point, Liang Yu took out a large bag of chili powder made from facing-heaven peppers and put it into the ball.
‘Bang!’
With a soft sound, the ball containing the chili powder flew out again.
This time, the target was the very top of Liang Yu’s front door.
While the few of them were wondering where the ball came from and what that familiar smell of Holy Water 2.0 was,
another ball struck, hitting the wall.
Next, red smoke filled the area in front of Liang Yu’s door, and inside were the painful shouts and groans of Wu Chusheng and the others.
But what Liang Yu heard most was this one sentence:
“My eyes, my eyes!!!!”
Having done this much, Liang Yu didn’t bother with them anymore. After all, Liang Yu felt that there was a good ancient saying: fight fire with fire.
And now he was going to use scum to deal with scum.
Just like that, Liang Yu returned to his rocking chair with a joyful heart and casually opened the main group chat.
He @-ed Wu Chusheng again.
1001 Liang Yu: “@1601 Wu Chusheng, you little beast, what’s wrong with you? Why do I hear you barking like a dog at my front door?”
“Although I don’t dislike dogs, I dislike you turning into a dog!”
Liang Yu said this, naturally, not for Wu Chusheng to see, but for the other residents and Li Dama.
At this moment, Chen Qing, the resident of 901, emboldened by the commotion upstairs, walked towards the tenth floor to check the situation.
As soon as he reached the stairwell in front of the tenth floor, he smelled the pungent odor of facing-heaven chili powder.
And at this time, the wails of Wu Chusheng and the others were gradually ceasing.
This scared Chen Qing, making him think they had died.
He immediately ran back to 901, locked the door, and gasped for air behind it.
Chen Qing’s girlfriend, Luo Jing, saw him return so frantically and asked,
“What happened? What made you like this?”
Chen Qing made a shushing gesture.
Then he walked over to Luo Jing’s ear and whispered,
“I went upstairs just now and smelled a very pungent chili powder, it was very choking.”
“And downstairs, I heard Wu Chusheng and the others groaning and screaming, but when I went up, the sounds stopped. I guess they’re probably gone.”
Luo Jing listened to her boyfriend’s explanation, feeling a bit amused and exasperated.
She slapped Chen Qing on the back.
“Use your brain. They’re not dead; they clearly just fainted.”
“Forget it, listen to me on this: don’t get involved, just pretend you don’t know. Wu Chusheng and Li Dama aren’t good people anyway.”
“It’s even better if they die. You saw what Wu Chusheng did to the person opposite Liang Yu today. Who knows when it will be our turn?”
Chen Qing also thought it made sense, so he started to reinforce the door.
The residents in the group remained silent after seeing Liang Yu’s message, once again adopting an attitude of ‘it’s none of my business.’
In contrast, Li Dama was indeed anxious.
1601 Property Manager Li Caihua: “@1001 Liang Yu, you little beast, what did you do to my precious son!!! Why can’t I contact him?”
“You little beast!!! Answer me quickly!!!”
