Take it! Take it all!
It was a black handgun, the model unclear, accompanied by a box of bullets.
Including the contract on the third floor, Hu You swept up everything!
The contract was useless to him, of course, but he could use it to create a diversion.
After cleaning up the scene, Hu You darted home!
He hadn't expected Boss Tian to be so resourceful, even managing to get a gun.
Now he had the money, and a weapon for self-defense.
Next, he needed to figure out how to cash in these gold bars and convert them into supplies.
The current gold price was 600 yuan per gram, and the safe contained exactly one hundred 500-gram gold bars, which meant... thirty million!
This amount of money was enough for him to buy a small yacht.
If he sold a large quantity of gold bars in this city, Boss Tian would definitely find out.
He had to escape first!
He would go home, pack his things, and head to the airport now!
He would buy the earliest flight to Macau!
Forty million would attract attention in other cities, but in that place, it would be a drop in the ocean!
Coincidentally, that place should also have what he needed.
After running two blocks, Hu You called a car to take him home.
He returned to his apartment complex, took the elevator, and felt uneasy the whole way.
Even though he had experienced the apocalypse, doing something like this still gave him an unprecedented thrill!
With this money, he would have enough to complete his initial preparations!
Ding~
The elevator door opened.
Hu You stepped out of the elevator and subconsciously looked at his apartment door.
With just one glance, he instantly froze.
People.
It was full of people!
Ten burly men were blocking his doorway, each with tattoos on their arms, faces piled with menacing flesh, practically screaming 'ferocious and evil'.
The leader was a bald man, whom Hu You had seen before!
In his previous life, of course.
His name was Li Mang, one of Ye Wanqiu's simps, and he was rumored to have significant influence in the city's underworld.
If he wasn't mistaken, they were here at Miss Ye's instruction.
Even though she wasn't present, she was definitely involved.
"Are you Hu You?" Li Mang confirmed.
"Yes, that's me."
Hu You replied unhurriedly and continued walking towards his door.
In the past, he might have been scared.
But now... all fear stemmed from insufficient firepower!
He had a gun in his hand!
"Good that it's you."
Li Mang said, stepping forward, his group of subordinates quickly following.
A sinister smile appeared on his lips: "Kid, Miss Ye wants me to tell you... you..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Hu You had already pulled out his gun and aimed it at Li Mang's head.
A 'kind' smile spread across his face.
"What did she want you to tell me?"
The cold metallic touch, mixed with the smell of gunpowder entering his nostrils.
Li Mang was absolutely certain of one thing.
This was the real deal!
"Hehe~"
The smile on Li Mang's lips instantly became simple and honest; he rubbed his hands, his face full of fawning: "Big brother, please put that thing away first, let's talk, let's talk properly!"
"I'll only say one thing."
Hu You naturally didn't put the gun away; instead, he used the muzzle to tap Li Mang's face: "You remember this well!"
Slap!
Slap slap!
Each tap was heavier than the last!
Long, reddish marks appeared all over his face.
"Whatever she wanted you to do to me today, you go back and do it to her."
"Understood?"
"Understood! Perfectly understood!"
Li Mang responded respectfully, ignoring the marks on his face, and scrambled into the elevator.
As he left, he didn't forget to bid Hu You farewell.
"Big brother, no need to see me off, good night and sweet dreams!"
The elevator doors closed.
Li Mang immediately covered his face and gasped: "That crazy woman! She hit a brick wall and doesn't even know it! Damn it!"
"Boss, was... was that the real thing?" a subordinate asked.
"Nonsense!"
Li Mang immediately replied: "Boss Tian has an identical gun! I've seen it! A fake couldn't replicate that gunpowder smell!"
"It just makes me so angry!"
Li Mang pressed the button for the 3rd floor: "Come on, let's go have a talk with that woman!"
At the same time.
Hu You returned to his room, putting some everyday clothes and all his belongings into his spatial backpack.
Unfortunately, the online ordered goods hadn't arrived yet; otherwise, he would have just loaded them into the space.
Perfect!
He left under the cover of night; as the elevator passed the third floor, he heard no commotion, but upon reaching the ground floor, he saw a police car parked at the entrance of the building.
Li Mang and Ye Wanqiu both stood before the police.
The latter appeared unharmed, while Li Mang's face was covered in scratches.
This woman was indeed a handful!
Under their gaze, Hu You walked past as if he hadn't seen them.
He hailed a taxi outside the complex and headed towards the airport.
He had already contacted the airport; he would depart immediately and arrive in Macau three hours later.
What?
Flights?
What flights! He would charter a private business jet!
It's only two hundred thousand, isn't it?
Money, how could it be as important as time!
He confirmed with the airport that the ticket would be paid in cash.
Upon arriving at the airport, a beautiful flight attendant in uniform was already waiting outside.
She held a sign with only six characters on it.
"Welcome Mr. Hu You."
Hu You glanced through the car window, his gaze instantly falling on her face.
A name surfaced in his mind.
Mu Lingxiu.
She was also a resident of their building.
In her previous life, she lived on the 27th floor, one floor below Hu You, and had taken in many lower-floor residents when the heavy rain first arrived.
For the first few days, everyone lived in peace.
They even shared food and actively interacted in the owner's group chat.
But as the heavy rain continued to fall, humanity slowly eroded.
By the fifteenth day of the heavy rain, Mu Lingxiu had disappeared, and instead, the residents she had taken in began posting exchange information in the owner's group chat.
They were exchanging the right to use a body for food.
The picture showed her, bound hand and foot.
Regarding this, Ye Wanqiu had once profoundly commented... saints ultimately became prostitutes.
The two had also interacted in their previous life.
In the early days of the heavy rain, Mu Lingxiu had proactively distributed hand warmers to every household.
Hu You and Ye Wanqiu were no exception.
He opened the car door and walked up to Mu Lingxiu: "Are you in charge of reception?"
"Mr. Hu You?"
Mu Lingxiu seemed surprised that someone who could spend two hundred thousand to charter a flight to Macau would arrive in a ride-sharing car, and without even a bodyguard or assistant, which was unusual.
"That's me. Do you need to check my ID?"
"No need."
Mu Lingxiu replied with a smile; she had already seen Hu You's photo but was just a little surprised: "Please come this way, sir. We have already completed your boarding procedures. You will be taking Gulfstream G880 to Macau. Wanji Airlines is dedicated to serving you."
"Mhm."
Hu You nodded, went to the business lounge, paid two hundred thousand from his luggage bag, and then followed Mu Lingxiu to board the plane.
In less than twenty minutes, he was already sitting on the sofa of the business jet.
Besides Mu Lingxiu, there was also another flight attendant serving nearby.
Hu You simply drank a glass of red wine and then passed out!
He was too tired!
He had been busy all day, his mind either in an extremely excited state or an extremely tense state, with no rest.
A short while later, a notification sound woke him up!
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving one day. System upgrade."
"New function unlocked: Panel."
"Note: You can view the panel information of any object, including but not limited to animals and plants."
