Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

"Wow, so many people..."

When Wang Ziyan, Lin Luxi, and the others arrived downstairs, they saw many lights shining in the darkness.

There were candlelight, torches, and flashlights... these were from residents in other buildings.

These people generally act in groups.

"Everyone be careful, don't get separated. It's too dark, and there's a good chance someone might sneak up on us."

Li Jia solemnly instructed everyone.

Beside him, the tall, burly boy held a torch, barely providing any light.

None of the other residents had any tools for lighting.

The darkness overhead made everyone feel somewhat oppressed.

Some people couldn't resist opening the panel and using the faint light it provided to dispel the darkness.

Just then, a familiar mixed sound rang in everyone's ears:

[Airdrop packages are now being distributed!]

Deliver?

Where to place the ball?

The residents became restless, while also secretly wary of people in other buildings.

Fortunately, there is plenty of space for activities within the community.

The distance between each building is more than 100 meters.

Therefore, no conflict has broken out yet.

"Look at the sky! Isn't that an airdrop?!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Li Jia and the others looked up and saw red, yellow, blue, and green dots of light slowly descending.

In the darkness, those points of light were exceptionally clear.

Almost every resident in the community can see it clearly.

Li Jia's expression turned serious: "Everyone, get ready! There's an airdrop not far from us!"

"Don't back down when we encounter the enemy! Don't betray the boss's trust in us! We have repeating crossbows, while the others are only armed with melee weapons; they're no match for us!"

"Residents with defensive abilities, remember to shield those around you. Don't just think about protecting yourself, otherwise you won't benefit from the deaths of others, and you might even get killed!"

After Li Jia's reasoned and emotional encouragement...

The residents, who were initially somewhat nervous, gradually gained some courage.

Yes!

There were nearly a hundred of them.

Moreover, each person was equipped with a repeating crossbow.

Even if we really encounter an enemy, the one who should be afraid is the other side!

"Brother Li is right, we can't let Boss Chen down! We must show Boss Chen our capabilities!"

"My talent is that I can create an ice shield with a radius of five meters. Don't be scared, everyone. I'll activate the shield to protect you immediately if there's any danger!"

"My talent is also defensive. Although it can only protect myself, I can stand at the front as a meat shield. Everyone, keep a close eye on this wave; I've put in a lot of effort! I'll have to tell the boss when we get back!"

The residents on this floor are all college students, very young, and relatively simple-minded.

So they were encouraged by a few words and got all fired up.

Some people even dared to step forward to be in the front row.

Although he also had the motive of winning more rewards, he still greatly encouraged others.

Many people are starting to think about how to contribute more, or better yet, how to snag a gift pack...

Seeing this, Li Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the boss was generous and offered enough benefits; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to motivate these people so easily with just verbal encouragement.

He was a little scared by how powerful it was.

I'm afraid they might get carried away fighting over the gift bags and start a fight with their own people.

Li Jia glanced at the airdrop packages still falling from the sky and said, "Everyone, keep a low profile. Don't fight amongst yourselves or steal from your own people. As long as the packages are obtained by someone on our floor, the boss definitely won't treat the rest of us unfairly!"

"Don't worry, Brother Li. We're a team, live on the same floor, and know each other. Anyone who dares to betray us will only be asking for trouble if they don't want to go back!"

"A bespectacled man said loudly."

As soon as he said that...

There might have been one or two people with ulterior motives who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they all suppressed their thoughts.

Yes.

If you betray your teammates, even if you survive, you will definitely be ostracized or even ganged up on when you return.

Not worth the candle.

"BOOM!!"

suddenly.

An explosion was heard in the distance, accompanied by a blinding flash of light.

Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Some people were even startled and immediately used their talents to protect themselves.

"An explosion?! How could there be an explosion?!"

"Has someone invented firearms?!"

Some people exclaimed in disbelief.

If we have firearms, what's the point of playing this game?

Li Jia's face also looked very unpleasant.

But just then, several figures came running towards them from the place where the explosion had just occurred.

As they ran, they kept shouting, "Madman! He's a fucking madman!"

"How can someone have such a talent for taking revenge on society?!"

Hearing the shouting and cursing, Li Jia stopped a panicked middle-aged man and asked curiously, "Uncle, what's going on over there?"

While asking the questions, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his backpack and handed it to him.

This is what he got from killing the Faceless Monster outside the neighborhood yesterday.

Li Jia doesn't smoke, so he just left it in his backpack, and unexpectedly it came in handy.

The middle-aged man was initially very impatient, but upon seeing the cigarette, he subconsciously swallowed, took it, and stuffed it into his pocket, saying, "There's a lunatic over at Building 31. He just got slapped twice by a burly guy, and suddenly started saying something like 'Generation Z won't tolerate you,' and then he just self-destructed!"

"The survivors said it was his talent, a one-time self-destruction talent, incredibly powerful, even more terrifying than a hand grenade in a movie. If I hadn't been far away, I probably would have been blown to bits..."

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, everyone was stunned and incredulous.

"Such an outrageous talent?"

"Are there really people this outrageous?"

Bai Mengjie and Wang Ziyan spoke at the same time, but their focuses were completely different.

Li Jia was also completely bewildered.

He knew that talents came in all shapes and sizes, but this self-destruct talent was just too useless...

Although its power is indeed very strong, it's quite abnormal.

But this is a one-time talent.

It's a one-time talent that can only be used by risking one's life.

What's the point of taking the enemy if you're dead?

"I really don't know how he survived those three days of monster invasion without using his talent."

"Yeah, we finally made it through, and then suddenly we got into a fight for no reason..."

"That's too young and impetuous."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and some were even considering backing out.

Because of this Gen Z's self-disclosure, more than half of the residents in the surrounding buildings have left.

Compared to the gift package, my life is more important.

Who knows if there are any other residents with similar talents and similar impulses?

If it explodes again, that would be terrifying.

Even the residents on Li Jia's floor looked at each other in bewilderment, subconsciously taking two steps away from those they didn't know well.

No one can be sure whether the person next to you is a madman seeking revenge on society or committing suicide.

"Don't panic, everyone. We're all on the same side, and none of us have any mental illnesses. We won't all die together!"

Li Jia quickly tried to win over the people.

If morale drops, the team will be difficult to lead.

Fortunately, we were all on the same floor, so we knew each other to some extent and there wasn't much of a barrier between us.

"Ziyan, look! The airdrop is coming! Right where the explosion happened! Let's hurry over there!"

Bai Mengjie looked at the night sky and quickly reminded him.
