He spoke to He Wenhao in an annoyed tone.
Just when he thought he was about to get into an argument with Fan Qimei, an untimely voice rang out.
"Uh... if it's Brother Heng, he should be able to solve it!"
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the voice.
" Brother Heng? Shen Heng? What use is he? Is he going to let his debts choke these ants?" Fan Qimei said irritably.
The crowd chuckled softly, even Kong Haochen and Zhang Danzhen, who were standing next to Yan Sheng, couldn't help but laugh.
"No, Brother Heng is a really good fighter. I saw him take down five or six thugs all by himself!" Yan Sheng quickly explained.
The crowd scoffed, clearly not believing him.
Fan Qimei turned her attention back to He Wenhao.
"Hey, you're the one who caused this mess, so you're responsible for fixing it!"
Yan Sheng stared at the scene before him, opened his mouth, but ultimately lowered his head again.
Suddenly, Kong Haochen nudged his arm.
"Hey, is the Shen Heng you mentioned who took on five or six people by himself the one we talked about last time?"
Yan Sheng turned to look at Kong Haochen, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Mm."
"Really?" Kong Haochen asked, still somewhat skeptical.
Why would I lie to you?
Zhang Danzhen stood beside the two, watching their conversation with some curiosity. Just when she thought Kong Haochen would object, Kong Haochen actually nodded.
"So that's why you weren't hurt last time..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Danzhen opened her mouth in surprise.
"Is... Shen Heng really that powerful?"
"Of course!"
"Tch, even if you can fight, it's useless. Those ants outside are clearly not something that fighting can solve!" Kong Haochen retorted habitually.
"I... this..."
Yan Sheng opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute it.
Zhang Danzhen chuckled softly, "But that's still pretty impressive, isn't it..."
While the three were talking, He Wenhao and Fan Qimei were already arguing on the other side.
"In the end, the reason we're all in this mess today is because of you! You don't go out and try to find a solution, and you're just making sarcastic remarks. Get out of here!" Fan Qimei roared.
"You..."
He Wenhao wanted to say something more, but Fan Qimei interrupted him directly.
"What do you mean, 'get out of here'?"
"I..."
"Get out of here!"
He Wenhao gritted his teeth and turned to look at the people around him.
Although no one spoke up for Fan Qimei, they didn't help him either. Clearly, they were all more or less resentful of his choice of this place.
Upon seeing this, He Wenhao subconsciously clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Let's go then. With that idiot woman around, let me tell you, she'll attract that ant from outside sooner or later!"
"You son of a bitch..."
" Qimei, alright, alright, alright, isn't he already about to leave...?"
Ha, what a stupid woman...
Hearing the voice behind him, He Wenhao thought to himself with disdain.
He wasn't just saying that casually. With that woman's terrible voice, the ants outside might have already been attracted. It would be safer to move to another place while we have the chance.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
Upon reaching the door, he carefully pressed the doorknob and then slowly pushed it outwards.
As the door was pushed open a crack, a dark corridor appeared before him.
Looking at the empty corridor, He Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not too late to leave!
He pushed the door forcefully outwards, but it wouldn't budge.
Hmm? Is something stuck in your throat?
A hint of doubt flashed through He Wenhao's mind. He subconsciously pushed the door harder, but it still didn't budge.
He Wenhao frowned slightly, and just as he was still somewhat puzzled, a shadow seemed to suddenly appear below his line of sight.
He Wenhao froze instantly, and with some difficulty, he lowered his head to look at the dark, gem-like pupils that were quietly watching him.
He opened his mouth, but for a moment forgot what he was supposed to say.
Behind me, an urging voice sounded.
"Ha... I knew you weren't a man, you're already at the door..."
Bang!
He Wenhao slammed the door shut.
Everyone stared at the doorway in surprise.
Seeing He Wenhao standing in front of the door, his body trembling uncontrollably, everyone seemed to realize something.
Everyone instinctively shut their mouths, even Fan Qimei, who had been shouting the loudest, fell silent.
The room was deathly silent.
Everyone was praying that the ant wouldn't discover the people inside the house.
Unlike He Wenhao, he had just made eye contact with the ants through the crack in the door, and he knew that the ants had already discovered everyone inside the room.
Now, all we can do is pray that the ants can't break through the door, but...
He Wenhao seemed to have thought of something and stepped back.
Thump!
There was a knock on the door.
Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats. No one dared to breathe, their eyes fixed on the doorway.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the door was knocked on again.
Thump, thump!
Seeing that no one paid any attention, the door was knocked on again, and then the knocking became faster and harder, until finally it was banging on the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
The sound of banging on the door echoed inside.
Yan Sheng swallowed, his eyes fixed on the door.
Suddenly, Yan Sheng's eyes widened slightly.
A crack appeared below the door, and then it quickly expanded.
Finally, with a 'crack', a small piece of door panel detached from the door and flew straight out.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, a gray and red ant slowly crawled in from under the broken door.
"Ah!"
"What do we do? What do we do now?"
" Fan Qimei, it's all your fault! If you hadn't kept calling out, how would it have found us!"
"..."
The room instantly descended into chaos.
"Are you even men? You're just ants! Go get him!"
A boy suddenly shouted, and then he took the lead, rushing forward with a beer bottle in his hand.
Click!
The glass bottle shattered instantly.
The boy was immediately pounced on by the Stone Fire Ant and pinned to the ground. Just as the fire ants were about to clamp their mandibles down on him, another boy rushed forward.
Then the second, the third...
The other girls huddled inside, cautiously peering towards the doorway.
Under their watchful eyes, several boys surrounded the ant and kept punching and pounding it.
Finally, the ant hissed in pain, and its body shook violently.
As the palate slashed across, several boys' thighs were cut open, bleeding profusely.
The Stone Fire Ant suddenly twisted its body and pounced on the person behind it who was attacking the most fiercely.
Why is it me again? No, not again?
The thought flashed through Kong Haochen's mind, but before he could think any further, he was already pounced out the door by the Stone Fire Ant.
Kong Haochen crashed heavily to the ground. As he regained his senses, he saw the upper jaw clamping down on him, Yan Sheng and several other boys rushing towards him but clearly too late, and a terrified girl further away...
I have to...
Whoosh--!
A long, gleaming white blade suddenly flashed past Kong Haochen's eyes.
