Reborn Before the Frozen Apocalypse, I Stock Resources Worth Billions

Chapter 38: Picking the Lock

When they approached Ye Xingchen's safe house, it was Ye Xingchen's sleeping time.

The group of people was all wrapped up tightly. They held umbrellas and carried a box of door-breaking tools in their hands. They stood in Ye Xingchen's surveillance range.

The alarm sounded, and Ye Xingchen woke up from his dream. He immediately pulled up the surveillance footage.

Ye Xingchen had no memory of this. After all, in his previous life, Ye Xingchen had brought Chen Rou'er home early on.

The people in the camera were covered tightly, so Ye Xingchen couldn't tell who they were. At first, he thought that Zhang Yi and his group had come to rob his house.

"Yo, it's much earlier than in my previous life."

Ye Xingchen still remembered that Zhang Yi came to find him a month after the heavy snow.

It would not be easy to break in by force. Zhang Yi had a gun in his hand, but he could not destroy the alloy door of his safe house.

When the group of people arrived at the door, Ye Xingchen saw someone take out some metal object from his pocket and insert it into the keyhole of his security door.

Pick the lock?

Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows, but he was not in a hurry.

If the security door that cost so much money could be pried open so easily, then he wouldn't have to spend so much money on renovation.

Not only was this door one of the safest in the world, but it also had five layers of protection.

Want to unlock it? That was really not something that could be done in a short period of time.

Moreover, this door had an enhanced version of retro anti-theft technology.

The more complicated things were, the easier it was to solve them. However, the simpler things were, the harder it was to find a solution.

For example, Ye Xingchen's security door.

At first, he did not plan to go out. He planned to hide in the house until the end of the apocalypse, even if he did not know if it would end one day.

When Ye Xingchen was renovating, he had repeatedly instructed the craftsman to leave a latch slot. At this time, it played a huge role.

He directly used a steel rod with a diameter of ten centimeters to tie it up!

Unless they tore down the entire door and blew up the entire house, the door was so thick and the bolt was so thick that even if they drove a truck, they might not be able to break the door open.

Moreover... Ye Xingchen had long been prepared for his door to be broken into. After all, he had experienced it more than once in his previous life.

He even added a defensive method.

Ye Xingchen looked at the image in the camera and chuckled. His consciousness entered the space and took out the main control of the safe house. He pressed a button.

In an instant, a huge electric current filled the entire security door.

At this moment, Li Tao's entire body was stuck to the door. He was listening attentively to every groove and bulge that the wire in his hand passed through. Suddenly, a powerful electric current ran through every nerve in his body. He screamed and his entire body was stuck to the door and convulsed crazily.

"Help…Help…"

The few people standing beside him were so scared that their already pale faces turned even paler. They all took a step back.

Li Tao's expression was already ferocious. His pleas for help were ignored. Chen Rou'er was so frightened by the sudden situation that she immediately shrank behind Zhang Peng.

They had never thought that such a situation would happen. How could someone waste electricity to prevent theft in a time when there was a lack of power?!

Not long after, wisps of black smoke drifted out of Li Tao's body, emitting the smell of burnt meat.

"Bang!"

After a while, Ye Xingchen turned off the switch. After all, he did not want anything dirty to stick to his door.

As the electric current retreated, Li Tao's body left the door and fell straight to the ground.

His clothes had been burnt to a pulp, and his skin, which was tightly stuck to the door, was already showing signs of carbonization.

Obviously, Li Tao had been electrocuted to death.

"Ah!!!!!!!"

The moment the corpse fell to the ground, Chen Rou'er hugged Zhang Peng's arm tightly and screamed at the same time as her companions around her.

Although she knew that countless people died every day, the impact of seeing someone die in front of her was extraordinary.

Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen, who had been silently watching the surveillance footage outside the door, curled the corners of his lips. He felt inexplicably happy.

How carefree! In his previous life, if he encountered such a thing, he could only hold his head and shrink to the side, allowing outsiders to enter his house to plunder his resources. But now?

Ha, a good death! He deserved it! Who asked them to have designs on him?!

Sun Min felt a chill down her spine, secretly rejoicing that she had not gotten too close to Li Tao just now.

It was obvious that the plan to pry open the door had failed.

Ma Chaowen and Li Tao had been friends for many years. Now that he saw his good brother die tragically, he was anxious and angry. He was so angry that his eyes were burning!

He held the wooden handle of the shovel tightly and smashed it fiercely against Ye Xingchen's security door. He cursed, "Ye Xingchen, you bastard! Return my brother's life!"

Ye Xingchen had long recognized Chen Rou'er and her group when those women were screaming in fear. However, it made sense. Only Chen Rou'er and her group were so aware of his family's situation and had been eyeing him covetously. After all, he had sent Chen Rou'er many photos to provoke her.

He slowly turned on the communication function of the communication device and said in an unfriendly tone, "How annoying. I just fell asleep and was woken up by a dog barking."

"Can you stop barking? What do you mean by returning your brother's life? Isn't this funny? If you weren't greedy enough to want to break into my house and steal my things, would your brother have been electrocuted to death?"

"You guys have bad character, but you have a good grasp of the skill to make a false accusation."

Hearing Ye Xingchen's reply, Ma Chaowen suppressed his anger and pretended to be calm.

"We have no ill intentions, Ye Xingchen. We just want to have a good chat."

"In the end, you're really unreasonable. We haven't even said anything, and you've already killed our good brother, Li Tao! You! Don't go too far!"

"You have to give us an explanation! You can't let my good brother die for no reason!"

Ye Xingchen laughed out loud, his face full of sarcasm.

"Hahahaha, just to chat with me? What, you came uninvited and directly broke into my house? Is this your so-called chat?"

"What do you plan to do after you break the door? Do you want to chase me out of my house so that you can take over my nest, or do you want to simply kill me to silence me?"

"You guys really have a good plan. You know that my place has good conditions and facilities, so you want to enjoy the safe house that I worked so hard to build, right?"
