Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Chapter 436

As Melody Summers watched in surprise, Yvette Hollis began to explain, "He must have run out of food and coal. He also knew I live alone, so he’s been knocking on my door for the past few days, trying to trick me into opening it..."

His objective was obvious: he wanted to break into Yvette Hollis’s home and steal her supplies. Because his own had run out, he set his sights on his neighbor.

Yvette Hollis continued, "I never opened the door for him, so he started trying to smash it down. But my door is a reinforced security door, and he couldn’t get through."

"The night before last, he showed up with a chainsaw. He stood outside my door and threatened me, saying that since I wouldn’t open up, he’d cut the door open, then barge in and kill me..."

Yvette Hollis was terrified. She barricaded the door with a cabinet and stood guard with a kitchen knife. Listening to the ROAR of the chainsaw outside, her mind went blank.

However, the man outside had overestimated the power of a small, handheld chainsaw and underestimated the strength of the security door. In short, his attempt to break in failed.

"He was sawing at the door for a long time. Then the chainsaw stopped, and he went quiet. I thought he’d left, but it turns out he froze to death..."

Hearing Yvette Hollis’s words, Melody Summers suddenly recalled a documentary she’d seen about the arctic. The temperature was so low that many animals would freeze to death mid-stride, their bodies locked in a walking posture even in death.

The temperature in the hallway the night before last was extremely low. The man with the chainsaw must have started losing consciousness while trying to break down the door. Before he even realized what was happening, he died of hypothermia in the hallway.

Melody Summers sighed and said to Yvette Hollis, "It’s too cold now. You should go back and pack your things. Get ready to head to the 23rd floor. I still have to notify the other residents."

Upon hearing this, Yvette Hollis volunteered, "Let me go with you! Everyone’s on high alert right now. They won’t just open their doors for a stranger."

"I’ve lived here for several years. Apartments 1705 and 1706 on this floor are empty, and I know the residents in 1703 and 1704. It should be easier if I go with you."

Melody Summers looked at Yvette Hollis gratefully and said, "Thank you, Miss Hollis."

Yvette Hollis waved her hand dismissively. "Don’t mention it. Your mother has helped everyone so much during the disaster these past two years. She’s so diligent and responsible. We all see it and appreciate it. We’re the ones who should be thanking you!"

Yvette Hollis went back to her apartment, grabbed a suitcase, and quickly packed some bedding and clothes. Then she and Melody Summers left together.

The resident of 1702 was already dead. He lived alone, so there was no one left in his apartment to notify. The two of them went to 1703 first.

With Yvette Hollis’s help, the door to 1703 soon opened.

The next second, Melody Summers was hit with the smell of something burning, and plumes of smoke were wafting out of the open door of 1703.

Alarmed by the sight, Melody Summers exclaimed, "What’s going on? Is your apartment on fire?!"
