Indeed, some people were gradually becoming aware of Zhang Yi's anomaly.

In this icy apocalypse, everyone was starving and freezing. Even those with stockpiles at home were struggling to get by.

Yet he alone was well-fed and warm, even choosing to install a fireplace in his home in Tianhai City, a southern town!

The sturdy security door was clearly prepared for this kind of situation.

Zhou Peng pursed his lips and said bitterly, "If that's the case, then Zhang Yi is even more despicable! He knew the snow disaster was coming but only cared about himself, not bothering to warn the neighbors in advance!"

"Ptui!"

He spat vehemently.

Due to his personal grudge against Zhang Yi, Zhou Peng never missed an opportunity to slander him.

Wang Min and the others frowned but ignored Zhou Peng.

After all, if it were them, they would definitely prioritize their own and their family's safety over the lives of others.

"The question is, what should we do next? Breaking the door down by force, is that feasible?"

As Wang Min spoke, her gaze turned to Zhou Peng, Sun Zhichao, and Ge Jialiang.

These three were the few men in their group, the main force if they were to break down the door by force.

The group whispered and discussed for a while.

Through the surveillance, Zhang Yi saw them leave down the stairs again.

Gun in his left hand and hand crossbow in his right, he watched them nonchalantly as they left.

Zhang Yi could have taken action and shot two of them dead.

But he was in no hurry; life had become too bland, and he needed some excitement.

He wanted to see how these people planned to break down the door.

It was also preparation for dealing with more troublesome people in the future.

After a while, they returned with a large, thick log, seemingly dismantled from a bed.

A few women held umbrellas to prevent Zhang Yi from dousing them with cold water.

The three men hoisted the log and slammed it against the door with a "DUang!" The sound was loud, and Zhang Yi could feel the walls trembling.

But he wasn't worried; a 20-centimeter-thick steel plate wouldn't break unless the Hulk was on the other team.

Zhou Peng, Sun Zhichao, and Ge Jialiang rammed the door with all their might.

Zhang Yi just sat on the sofa, watching them and monitoring the house's status through a smartphone app at any moment.

This app, designed by War Dragon Security, allowed users to monitor the overall movement of the house.

He was cautious, holding his weapons firmly, ready to act if anything went wrong.

But after Sun Zhichao and the others rammed the door for a long time, the whole building knew it, and the door remained as sturdy as ever, not even a dent, just some white marks!

After five minutes, the group was completely dumbfounded.

"How thick is this door, exactly?"

"Not even a bank vault door is this solid!"

"Who has such a door in their house!"

Sun Zhichao and the others almost fell into despair, roaring in anger and desperation.

Zhang Yi, watching this scene through the monitor, smiled slightly, reassured about the quality of his safe house.

"Alright, now it's time to teach you a lesson."

Zhang Yi stood up, pocketed his handgun, and opened an iron box.

Inside the box were 20 crossbow bolts, but strangely, they were all covered in rust.

These alloy bolts were hard to rust, but these 20 were mottled with rust, as if they had been stored in a damp environment for years.

In fact, Zhang Yi had intentionally created the rust.

A slight scratch could risk tetanus in an environment where medical treatment was unavailable.

It wouldn't kill quickly but would cause the wound to become infected and fester.

Anyone hit by these tetanus arrows would either choose amputation to save their life or wait to die in extreme pain!

Zhang Yi had learned this from Chen Zhenghao.

Although Chen Zhenghao's leg was ruined, he had survived by some means.

But next time, if hit by a tetanus arrow again, Zhang Yi wanted to see how he would survive!

A devilish smile appeared on Zhang Yi's lips as he climbed up to the firing port.

Fang Yuqing and the others held umbrellas, unable to see the situation below clearly.

Zhang Yi didn't care and shot under the umbrellas!

If you die, consider yourself lucky; if not, even better!

"Whoosh!"

The tetanus arrow pierced through the umbrella, followed by a piercing scream.

Zhang Yi quickly reloaded and shot a second arrow without aiming, as they were all clustered together.

Another scream followed the second shot.

Zhang Yi reloaded and drew his bow calmly.

The people finally realized what was happening and scattered in panic.

Zhang Yi aimed and shot at them, deliberately avoiding vital areas, targeting arms and thighs instead.

Out of the remaining six, three were hit by arrows, one of them twice.

However, due to the slow reloading speed of the hand crossbow, before Zhang Yi could shoot them all, they had run out of his line of sight.

Zhang Yi shrugged.

It didn't matter; those few were as good as dead, destined to die in agony.

As for the others, Zhang Yi had all the time in the world to play with them.

Time was on Zhang Yi's side.

Even at such a time, he remained cautious and did not go out to finish them off.

That's what you call steady!

Even with a one in ten thousand chance of injury, Zhang Yi wouldn't take the risk.

"The only problem is the consumption of crossbow bolts!"

Zhang Yi frowned, starting to think long-term.

He had initially bought 300 crossbow bolts and 300 arrows.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

After each use, it wasn't easy for him to go out and retrieve them.

Although he still had many left, a lack of long-term planning could lead to immediate worries!

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yi had a brainwave.

He opened the extra-dimensional space and rummaged around, quickly finding what he needed!

The warehouse had many ball bearings for slingshots, which could also be fired from a hand crossbow.

There were also toy glass marbles; although not as lethal as steel bolts, they were still formidable when shot from a professional hand crossbow.

Even if he ran out of crossbow bolts, there were plenty of metal items inside that could be dismantled and repurposed.

Zhang Yi was relieved.

"With these, I can survive a lifetime!"

He was comfortable, but some people were in dire straits at that moment.

Fang Yuqing and the other seven had intended to use their numbers to seize Zhang Yi's house.

But instead of stealing the chicken, they lost the rice; not only did one person die, but three were shot by crossbow bolts and had to flee in disarray.

They didn't even dare to retrieve Lu Tao's body.
