Chapter 78: Team up to kill wolves

“Ah!!!!!!!!!!”

The final scream from 602 once again echoed through Building 6.

At this moment, 601 listened from outside his door, only hearing the crunching sounds of chewing coming from the hallway.

Through the peephole, the owner of 601 looked at the opposite door, and his eyes met with the other party’s.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion or due to extreme fear.

He saw that wolf across the way seem to meet his gaze through the door.

It even seemed to smile at him.

This sent a chill down his spine, worse than the current weather.

It wasn’t attacking his body, but his spirit.

After an unknown amount of time, there was no more movement from the opposite side.

But at this moment, he completely dared not look outside his door.

Coming back to his senses, the owner of 601 carefully checked the door lock, then immediately retreated to his bedroom to hide.

Another difficult night passed.

The sky was grey at this time, lacking its usual brightness.

An owner who hadn’t slept all night spoke up in the general group chat.

“Are there any brave souls in Building 6 willing to check on the situation in 601 and 602?”

“I haven’t dared to sleep until now, fearing it might come for me.”

Some owners, just woken up, laughed when they saw the message.

“From Building 10, I think you’re developing paranoid delusions.”

“Building 6 and Building 10 aren’t very far, but there’s still some distance. I don’t think it would spread to other places.”

“On the contrary, owners of Building 6 need to be careful; the other party is very likely still hiding there.”

This statement was very reasonable; even if it wasn’t, they dared not be careless.

This was undoubtedly a reminder to everyone.

“Not just the owners of Building 6, but all of us owners need to be careful.”

“I suggest that after collecting supplies today, it’s best to return in groups of three to five; going alone will only give the other party an opportunity to strike.”

At this point, an owner refuted.

“That’s impossible, right? It’s broad daylight now; how would it dare to attack in broad daylight?”

“Exactly! I understand that wolves are nocturnal creatures, aren’t they? How would it attack people during the day?”

“That’s right, the wolves I know mostly stay in dark places during the day and only start hunting at night.”

At this moment, a clever person appeared.

“Am I the only one curious why an animal like a wolf would appear in our community?”

“It’s quite far from the Animal Park. No matter what, animals escaping from the Animal Park wouldn’t wander all the way here.”

When this owner said that, some people actually started to pay attention to this matter.

“Indeed, logically speaking, a wolf really shouldn’t appear in a place like this.”

“However, the only households here that seem to have seen the other party are 602 and 601, and we don’t know their situation now.”

“I always feel like they’ve been harmed.”

“Upstairs, don’t scare me. If you close your doors and windows properly, how could the other party get in and harm you?”

“Is there an owner from Building 6 willing to go and see what’s happening?”

As soon as this was mentioned, the general group chat suddenly fell silent again.

No one was willing to risk their own life for the safety of others.

A few owners who couldn’t stand it anymore spoke in the group.

“It’s still early. Is anyone willing to come with me to hunt this lone wolf?”

“I’m not doing it for anything else, but for the safety of my wife, children, and elderly parents. If you’re a responsible man, come to Building 6. I’ll wait for you at Building 6 for fifteen minutes.”

It must be said that this statement stirred the emotions of many owners.

In dozens of buildings, many people had their entire families—wives, children, and elderly parents—living in the buildings.

Immediately, many people agreed.

More and more people in the group said they wanted to join the hunting team.

The leading owner counted the numbers and already had over 80 people, and his confidence grew stronger and stronger.

He didn’t believe that over 80 people couldn’t deal with one wolf.

Even if only half came, with 40 people against one wolf, he felt it was more than enough.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The leading owner arrived a few minutes early and waited for the other owners at the entrance of Building 6.

What he didn’t expect was that after another five minutes, there were only over 20 people present.

This was a world of difference from the number of people in the group chat at the time.

He also looked at the weapons in the hands of these owners, which were uneven in quality.

Back scratchers, rolling pins, and feather dusters were among the worst.

Many owners had disassembled the wooden handles of brooms and mops, and hollow stainless steel rods, to use as temporary weapons.

These were barely acceptable.

Some even brought out their frying pans and woks from home.

The most crucial thing was that they had even specifically modified them.

The wok had an added stress point, like those people on TV, held in hand as a shield.

The frying pan, on the other hand, was held in hand as a weapon.

Looking at the other party’s stance, it seemed like they could really block bullets with a frying pan, just like in a game.

However, the most reliable people were those owners who loved to exercise and those who were obsessed with wuxia and xianxia novels.

They brought out fitness equipment like arm strength bars.

The heavier ones of these could weigh almost 10 pounds.

Hitting someone with this looked painful, and these were one of the main combat forces.

The other group brought out unsharpened, one-to-one replica swords.

Although they were not sharpened, they should not be underestimated, as they were made of alloy, and swinging them still had considerable power.

After all, these were considered normal weapons.

After waiting a few more minutes and seeing that no more owners would come, the leader introduced himself.

“My name is Qiao Feng, the same name as the Qiao Feng you’re familiar with from ‘Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.’ I’m the one who rallied everyone in the group chat.”

“But I don’t know the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.”

“I’m a recently discharged soldier. Thank you all for coming.”

At this point, an owner directly said,

“Qiao Feng, right? Since you’re the one who called us here, then just give us direct orders.”

“Don’t say those formalities.”

Qiao Feng had exactly that intention.

“I just counted; including myself, there are 28 people. This number is far too different from what I originally considered.”

“If we divide into four groups, I’m concerned about your safety.”

At this moment, someone interrupted Qiao Feng.

“Qiao Feng, just divide us into four groups. Each group will have seven people. Are we still afraid of a small wolf?”

Qiao Feng looked at the others, and it seemed they had no objections.

So Qiao Feng chose to respect their decision.

“Alright, I’ll first arrange what each group needs to do, and then everyone can choose for themselves.”

“The first group, also the most dangerous group, I will be here.”

“This group is mainly responsible for searching Building 6 below the 8th floor, including empty rooms and the 3rd floor.”

“I think that wolf is very likely hiding in Building 6.”

“The second group will be responsible for the hiding spots in the nearby buildings, which is also relatively dangerous.”
