As soon as the new chat group was formed, the property owners and tenants began to panic and discuss.

"Chen Zhenghao is a devil! He's robbed three households, breaking down doors to get in."

"The young couple in 301 on the third floor were feisty and tried to resist. He just shot them dead."

"The other two households, 302 and 401, were so frightened, they just handed over all their food and drinks."

"Ah, in times like these, without food or drink at home, isn't that just waiting to die?"

Someone indignantly said, "We must unite and stand against bullies like Chen Zhenghao!"

Immediate responses followed.

"Right, we have so many households, surely we're not afraid of their five or six people!"

"As long as we stand together, he's nothing to fear!"

But someone pointed out, "But he has a gun!"

"Hmph, what of it? How many bullets can he have in one gun?"

"Exactly, if we rush him all at once, he won't be able to stop us!"

"I'll give him a left front kick, followed by a right roundhouse kick, and he won't get back up!"

"Now that he's got a limp, he's not worth mentioning. Without his gun, haha, I could take him down myself!"

Everyone was fired up about taking on Chen Zhenghao, as if they couldn't wait to storm his place and execute him!

However, someone interjected at this moment.

"So when do we make our move?"

This question was met with a brief silence.

Talking a big game was easy, but when it came to risking lives, not everyone was as brave.

Everyone understood the principle, but no one wanted to be the first to take a bullet.

All the grand talk was just to coax others into taking the bullets for them.

"It's not a problem, we can definitely take him down!"

"After all, he's a desperado with a few hoodlums under him. We need a well-thought-out plan."

"Right, brute force is the way of a fool. We must triumph with wisdom!"

Zhang Yi pursed his lips.

Just a moment ago, they were saying Chen Zhenghao was nothing to fear, with people ready to unleash kicks on him.

Now that it's time to act, they're calling for a victory through wisdom?

He couldn't help but laugh.

At this point, Uncle You, the community security guard, suddenly spoke up.

"We can't let Chen Zhenghao continue like this. If this goes on, he'll kill us all."

"Even if we're not shot dead, if he robs us of all our food and drink, won't we still die?"

"I can take the lead, everyone follow me, and let's teach this pack of dogs a lesson!"

Uncle You was usually a man of few words.

He was an ex-soldier, honest and passionate.

He was well-respected in the community.

Faced with a shameless scoundrel like Chen Zhenghao, who treated human life like grass, his heart was full of rage.

"Wow, Uncle You is mighty! True to his military roots, impressive!"

"Uncle You, I support you. Do you need a weapon? You can use our kitchen knife."

"I have a Longquan sword I bought on a trip last year, it can slice through iron like mud! I'll lend it to you."

"Chen Zhenghao is just a cripple. Uncle You, just find a chance to ambush him from behind, don't give him a chance."

...

Everyone was praising Uncle You, offering their suggestions in a cacophony.

But not a single person said they would join Uncle You in confronting Chen Zhenghao.

Uncle You was somewhat speechless.

"Chen Zhenghao has five or six people, and they have guns. I can't do it alone."

"At the very least, we need a dozen young men to come with me for safety."

"I've been a soldier and have some skills, I can lead."

Households with adult males suddenly fell silent.

While households like Fang Yuqing's, without adult males, became as excited as if they were injected with adrenaline.

"Right, we women are weak and powerless, unable to deal with such scum. Men of Building 25, now is the time to show your manhood!"

"Our building's men are all great guys, you must succeed!"

"The time has come to show your gentlemanly conduct. We hope you achieve swift success and protect us weak women."

The adult males among the property owners were, of course, not pleased.

Some of them were single, living alone or sharing with friends.

They weren't completely opposed to risking their lives against villains.

But seeing the attitude of the female property owners, who seemed like feminists, and treating their confrontation with the villains as their responsibility, the men were not happy.

"Absolutely not! You always prioritize women first for everything, and now when there's danger, you want us to go first? Why should we?!"

"Now we're giving you the fair treatment you wanted. If we're going, we all go together."

"You're so fierce online, why don't you go fight Chen Zhenghao and his gang?!"

"I'm not against risking my life, but I'll only protect my own wife and children."

...

When the female property owners saw the men refusing to confront Chen Zhenghao, they changed their tune and started hurling insults.

"Are you even men? Isn't this the time for you men to step up?"

"Letting women take risks, shame on you for even suggesting it!"

"You're so spineless! Disgusting, I'll never marry men like you!"

...

The new chat group was originally created to discuss how to deal with the risks brought by Chen Zhenghao.

But somehow, it devolved into an argument over who should confront him, eventually turning into a battle of the sexes.

Zhang Yi watched in disbelief.

This plot was exactly the same as in his previous life.

That's why, even after Chen Zhenghao had killed half the people in the building, he was still able to keep everyone in line with just a gun.

Until their dying breath, they only knew to close their eyes, not even daring to struggle.

Seeing the situation, Uncle You urgently appealed in the group chat.

"Let's not argue now, dealing with Chen Zhenghao is the biggest issue."

There was a female property owner living on the 7th floor, named Liu Tiantian.

She was a main force in the male-female battle, a 22-year-old fairy who had just graduated.

At this point, with both sides heated, Liu Tiantian would lash out at any male comment.

Even when well-meaning Uncle You spoke up, she rapidly typed with two fingers.

"Uncle You, what good guy act are you putting on? You've been a soldier, so capable of fighting, you should be the first to charge in such a situation."

"There are so many men in our building, if we trade one for one with them, the rest of us will be safe!"

"In today's society, we women are more important, the only use for you men is to serve us."

"I hope the spineless men in the group remember this and don't make me say it again!"
