Screech, screech, screech~
The refrigerator was pushed aside by Mr. Wang, emitting a piercing sound.
The banging on the door instantly stopped.
Mr. Wang then moved away all the other items blocking the doorway.
Creak~
The door opened.
The two people at the door looked at Mr. Wang with some surprise, while Mr. Wang looked at them calmly.
"Need a light?" Mr. Wang asked calmly.
He didn't step out of the doorway. A gun was hidden in the sleeve of his right hand, which was currently gripping the handgun, while his left hand held the doorknob.
This way, he could close the door at any time or raise his hand to shoot at any time.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, we just wanted to borrow a light," the scrawny man next to him said, trying to maintain a calm tone.
Mr. Wang looked the man up and down. There had been no sound from this man just now, but now he appeared at the door.
As he scrutinized him from head to toe, he saw an axe in the man's hand.
The scrawny man saw Mr. Wang looking at him and said with a smile, "Hello, neighbor, we just need to borrow a light. Oh dear, this is a bit embarrassing. We were indeed a bit loud knocking on the door just now."
As he spoke, he saw Mr. Wang's gaze fall on the axe in his hand, and he felt a bit uncomfortable, moving the axe behind his back.
Mr. Wang remained calm, looked at the man in front of him, and then at the woman. The woman still had a slap mark on her face, and her eyes were blank and lifeless.
Immediately, he glanced at the main door, which already had several small chips from an axe.
"Is this how you ask to borrow a light?" Mr. Wang said impolitely.
"What the hell, you're borrowing a light by trying to chop down my door?"
"Excuse me, can we come in first? It's quite cold staying out here," the shameless scrawny man said.
Perhaps it was seeing Mr. Wang's left hand on the doorknob that made the scrawny man unsure if he could burst in immediately, so he thought it safer to enter the room first.
"No! Get lost!" Mr. Wang cursed.
If these two were sensible, he could save two bullets. If not, he didn't mind killing them. Anyway, the Patrol Team in Safe City no longer cared about such things; they didn't want to, and didn't have the energy to, deal with them anymore.
Being cursed at so rudely by Mr. Wang, the scrawny man's face lost some composure. The scar on his face twisted with anger, looking exceptionally hideous.
The scrawny man suppressed his anger, pushed the woman next to him, and gave her a meaningful look.
The woman was somewhat dazed, but looking at the scrawny man's eyes, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Big brother neighbor, we really just need a light. Can you give us a light?"
Mr. Wang found it somewhat amusing; he had already guessed what these two wanted to do.
They clearly wanted him to give them a light, then take the opportunity to break in or launch a sneak attack. They just didn't know that Mr. Wang was holding a gun in his right hand.
He might as well watch their act.
Mr. Wang was amused inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.
With an impatient expression, he said, "I only have this one lighter. Here."
He knew very well that they were 100% not there to borrow a light. If they were, they would at least bring something flammable, right? Light an axe?
That's ridiculous.
If you're going to lie, at least be professional. This is so full of holes he almost felt sorry for them.
Mr. Wang extended the lighter and lit it.
Click~
The scrawny man, who had been closely watching Mr. Wang's movements, saw Mr. Wang's hand leave the doorknob.
A flicker of excitement crossed his face.
The axe in his hand instantly moved to be raised.
Just as he was about to chop Mr. Wang's left hand.
He looked up and saw a dark gun barrel.
This...
The scrawny man looked at the dark hole, and cold sweat immediately ran down his back.
When did that gun appear? That speed was too fast.
No, Mr. Wang's right hand had been hanging down the whole time, which meant Mr. Wang had actually been holding the gun in his right hand all along.
It turned out that Mr. Wang hadn't trusted them from the very beginning.
But that was normal; this was the apocalypse, after all.
The scrawny man gave a bitter smile, but he didn't want to give up, so he said ingratiatingly, "Neighbor, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Hahahahaha."
His laughter was somewhat awkward.
Mr. Wang said nothing, just watched him like a monkey.
The scrawny man felt that the man in front of him was impenetrable, and for a moment, he didn't know how to resolve the situation.
Suddenly, he looked at his wife next to him and said to Mr. Wang, "This, this is my wife. It's cold, so do you need someone to warm your bed? I'm telling you, one person is very cold, but two people will be much warmer. Look how much my wife is..."
Mr. Wang was momentarily stunned.
And the woman diagonally opposite him, the scrawny man's wife,
was looking at her husband with disbelief. She could endure hardship, suffer cold, and search for supplies. She could even be beaten and cursed at. But this man, now, was going to hand her over to someone else?
Two lines of tears streamed down her face.
Her eyes suddenly filled with resentment.
The scrawny man saw the resentment in her eyes, but he didn't care at all.
He continued, "Brother, this is a misunderstanding between us. Look, my wife is very good. Do you want to consider... I'll trade my wife for my..."
There was no reluctance or unwillingness in his tone, and he even used some words, trying to provoke his desire.
Mr. Wang sighed.
Bang!
The gun fired.
The scrawny man was still talking with his mouth open, but before he could finish, Mr. Wang shot him in the forehead.
Although Mr. Wang wasn't a good person, it didn't stop him from hating scumbags.
There was a hint of confusion in the scrawny man's eyes. He couldn't understand why Mr. Wang didn't want such a good deal.
Not only did he not understand, but the woman next to him didn't understand either.
Was she too ugly, and this neighbor didn't find her appealing?
At this moment, the woman looked at the scrawny man's corpse, her heart a mix of emotions. She had once thought about how this man would die in the end, and she had even wanted him to die.
It was just that, suddenly, a person who was alive one moment was shot dead the next.
She hadn't quite recovered, after all, they had shared a bed for so many years. Although he hadn't treated her well.
Mr. Wang looked at the woman speechlessly. This man beat her every day, cursed at her, and even just now wanted her to sleep with him.
Now she was looking at this dead man so affectionately. What was wrong with her?
Trouble!
The woman seemed to snap out of her emotions, understanding her current situation and everything that had just happened.
Seeking benefit and avoiding harm is human nature.
Wanting to live is also human nature.
The woman adjusted her expression, put on a sweet smile, and a beat later, said, "Neighbor big brother, can I move in and live with you?"
Mr. Wang observed the changes in the woman's expression and her body language. Instead of relaxing, he became even more cautious than before.
