The entrance of Liang Yuan's house.
The bloodstains on the ground were still there.
Ding Yan looked at the bloodstains and said, "After such a long time of the great flood, apart from Liu Erlong and his gang, this person is the only one I've seen who dared to kill."
"But he has more principles than Liu Erlong's gang. Even though Fan Meiqin tried to seduce him, he didn't fall for it."
"In the face of such a catastrophe and moral decay, perhaps only those who dare to fight and kill can survive longer," Cai Zhi said.
This was an acknowledgment from Cai Zhi regarding Ding Yan's actions towards Fan Meiqin.
Ding Yan pursed her lips without saying anything, just stepped forward to knock on the door.
In the living room, Liang Yuan was lying on the sofa, the beautiful woman Yang Mei straddling his waist.
She bent over slightly, her heavy bosom hanging down, her slender, pale fingers gently massaging Liang Yuan's back muscles, easing his tension.
Since it was summer, one wore a short skirt, the other wasn't wearing a top at all.
So close, they could almost feel each other's body heat.
His breathing became heavier, he couldn't help but reach out to touch the bend of the woman's leg.
His rough palm touched the torn stockings for an instant.
His beautiful neighbor trembled as if struck by electricity, instinctively shivering.
Her legs suddenly tightened up.
Liang Yuan pretended not to notice, sliding his hand into the torn stockings along the bend of her leg.
He felt the woman on his back breathing more heavily.
The taut legs gradually relaxed.
Just as he was about to continue, there was a sudden knock on the door!
They both froze almost simultaneously, Yang Mei instinctively standing up in a hurry, getting off the sofa in a fluster.
Liang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, a feeling akin to being caught in the act, nervous yet inexplicably excited.
He quickly sat up, glancing at Yang Mei.
Seeing her blushing, her eyes like a lake in autumn, clearly aroused, but now filled with panic.
"Could it be Li Zhiqiang?"
She said nervously.
Yang Mei was still somewhat traditional, thinking Li Zhiqiang came to catch them.
Liang Yuan sighed and walked towards the entrance, saying, "Don't worry, even if it's Li Zhiqiang, he wouldn't dare do anything."
Yang Mei's face blushed even more at this realization of the situation.
Liang Yuan picked up the Nail Gun from the entrance, also grabbing a mirror to look through the peephole.
He saw a man and a woman outside, Cai Zhi and Ding Yan whom he had met before.
His eyebrows rose: "Why are they here?"
Yang Mei nervously leaned against a wall corner not far from the entrance, whispering, "Who is it?"
Liang Yuan gestured to her to stay silent before speaking, "Who is it?"
"Brother, I'm Cai Zhi from the corridor downstairs, and this is Ding Yan from the corner downstairs, you've seen us before." Cai Zhi said softly through the door.
Ding Yan also spoke, "Big brother, do you remember me? Before, at the corner, you asked me where Liu Erlong lived."
Of course Liang Yuan remembered them, he had only gone out once and met a few people.
Curiously, he asked, "Do you need something?"
Cai Zhi said, "We saw what happened at noon, brother, Liu Erlong's gang won't let it go easily."
"So?"
Ding Yan said, "So we're wondering if we can join forces against Liu Erlong?"
"We've all been persecuted by Liu Erlong, if we unite, we might not have to fear them."
Cai Zhi said, "Brother, this security door won't stop Liu Erlong, you might want to consider it."
Liang Yuan pondered, "How can I trust you? How do I know you're not trying to trick me into opening the door for food or shelter?"
Cai Zhi smiled, "Brother, you underestimate us. With more and more people dying, there are surely empty rooms. If we wanted to deceive, why not deceive others, why you, the fierce one?"
"As for food, with the flood by now, I imagine you barely have enough left?"
"We want to collaborate with you against Liu Erlong for food."
Liang Yuan was intrigued, "For food? What do you mean?"
Cai Zhi whispered, "Since the flood, many supermarkets have been submerged, but there are supplies floating on the water, all monopolized by Liu Erlong's gang."
"Also, there are fish in the water that are edible. These days, Old Ma and my family have survived by secretly fishing."
"But now the tenth floor is guarded by Liu Erlong's people, making it harder to get fish. Even if we do, they get taken by them."
"So if you think we want your food, you're sorely mistaken."
Liang Yuan was full of suspicion, "You ate the fish in the water? Aren't you afraid of poisoning?"
"Haha, we're starving, who cares about poison?"
"We've been eating it for so long and haven't been poisoned."
Cai Zhi laughed.
Liang Yuan was taken aback. He knew better than anyone that the fish in the flood were Mutant Fish.
Could Mutant Fish be edible?
"Wait, the system told me I killed a Mutant Fish when I killed Liu Erlong's people. Did eating Mutant Fish turn them into Mutant Beings?"
Liang Yuan had a guess.
His eyes twinkled. In this post-apocalypse, going solo wasn't feasible.
Even with the Lottery System, its random rewards couldn't directly improve his combat power, he needed to unite with those around him.
He pondered, "Do you have any other plans to deal with Liu Erlong?"
Cai Zhi said, "Brother, can we come in to talk?"
Ding Yan also said, "The echo in the corridor is too loud."
Liang Yuan thought about it, knowing both Cai Zhi and Ding Yan were malnourished and easy to handle.
Plus, he had a Nail Gun and petrol.
After some thought, Liang Yuan made a decision.
He took a few steps back, "Wait a moment."
Saying this, he quickly put on an electric scooter helmet, a thick denim jacket, and steel plates on his chest and abdomen.
After preparing his defenses, he lit a cigarette, holding a water gun filled with petrol in his other hand.
Fully armed, he retreated to the living room, telling Yang Mei, "Sister Mei, open the door."
Yang Mei was stunned, a bit fearful, "Me?"
"Don't worry, with me here, they wouldn't dare do anything."
Yang Mei was scared but reassured by Liang Yuan's armed appearance.
She heard the conversation just now, feeling unexpectedly happy.
If they could unite, maybe they could really survive.
She gritted her teeth, walking towards the door.
Under Liang Yuan's watchful eyes, she opened the door.
Ding Yan and Cai Zhi, seeing the door open, were instantly delighted.
Seeing it was Yang Mei, they were both taken aback.
"You are... Yang Mei?"
"Sister Mei?"
Both clearly recognized Yang Mei, exclaiming in surprise.
