My neighborhood has time-traveled.

Chapter 2 The struggle for community management rights, danger

It was just getting light in the morning, and the temperature wasn't high.

"Achoo!" Li Wen sneezed and rubbed his nose.

Li Hao glanced at his younger brother, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. "It's a bit chilly in the morning, wear more clothes."

"It's alright, your brother is strong enough."

"Brother, look! Two suns!" Li Wen suddenly pointed excitedly in the direction of the sun.

Li Hao looked up and saw two suns rising in the sky.

It's hazy and indistinct, like a double-yolk egg.

Two moons, two suns.

Where exactly have we arrived?

Li Hao and Li Wen stood on the balcony, eating bread and looking into the distance.

The areas that were originally in the direction of other residential areas have now been transformed into a dense forest.

Looking down into the residential area, I saw that the area was already crowded with people, who were roughly divided into four groups.

As you can see, most of them are carrying knives, axes, clubs, and other weapons.

A man wearing a Dawn Rescue suit spoke first.

"I just went for a walk around the area, and only our neighborhood has crossed over to this place, which means there are at least four thousand people. The population is too mixed now, and there was even a robbery last night."

The most important thing now is to organize people; we can't be doing this without a clear purpose.

Everyone knows this man; he is a retired armed police officer.

Behind him stood several retired armed police officers, teachers, doctors, and retired cadres.

As highly educated intellectuals, they understood the current situation and wanted to organize people first.

"You make it sound nice, but all you want is to lead us. Do you think we're still on Earth? In this situation, the Huang family won't allow it."

An old man also stood in front, his face full of arrogance.

The largest group of people standing behind him were all members of the Huang clan.

The reason there are so many people with the surname Huang is because the developer of this community is surnamed Huang, and people with the surname Huang receive discounts when buying houses.

Another plump woman dressed in a property management uniform spoke up, "I think we're originally part of the same community, so we should continue to be managed by the property management company. Just listen to us."

"That's right, we should continue to manage it."

Several security guards in uniforms waved the fire axes in their hands and loudly echoed their sentiments.

"Hmph, whoever has the bigger fist gets to do what they say, it's that simple."

A man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with a wolf tattoo on his arm, was smoking a cigarette while smirking.

After saying that, he spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground beside him.

Behind him stood many people, most of them tattooed or dyed-hair young men with a sleazy look.

"Yes, brother is right, we'll beat anyone who disagrees until they submit!"

"Fuck him!"

Several henchmen brandished their machetes, their faces beaming with excitement.

Sensing the imposing presence of his brothers behind him, the eldest brother took a drag of his cigarette and forcefully blew the smoke towards the property management woman across the street.

"Cough cough cough, achoo~"

The woman frowned, covered her nose, and sneezed.

She took a tissue out of her pocket, wiped her nose, and then casually tossed it onto the man's shoe.

This action made the man frown.

When Li Hao brought Li Wen down from upstairs, the four groups below were still arguing over the issue of community management rights.

Nobody's a fool, and this is such a good opportunity.

Gaining control of the community is tantamount to becoming a local tyrant.

Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?

How will you know you're not good enough if you don't try?

Li Hao only glanced at it from afar and did not approach.

Besides the four groups arguing their case, some men and women had already set up stalls on the ground.

They sell all sorts of odds and ends.

"Hey bro, look, a lighter. You'll need one from now on."

A man with a stall saw Li Hao and Li Wen arrive at his stall and quickly greeted them.

Li Hao glanced at them; they were all lighters that cost one yuan.

How do I replace the lighter?

"Two buckets of instant noodles or a pound of rice."

Li Hao just smiled, said nothing, and walked past the man.

It's not expensive, but he doesn't need it.

He already got a lot of these lighters from the convenience store last night, so he won't be short of them in the short term.

An old man came up to the man, holding a bottle of water, and said, "I'll trade you this bottle of mineral water for a lighter."

He threw down the bottled water and reached for the lighter.

"No, one bottle of mineral water isn't enough." The man pressed down on the old man's hand.

"I'm an old man, please do me a good deed and help me out," the old man pleaded, cupping his hands in prayer.

"Go away, go away. If I'm being nice to you, then who will be nice to me? If you don't have anything else to offer in return, then forget it."

The man snatched the lighter from the old man's hand.

Li Hao glanced at it and said to Li Wen, "Let's go take a walk outside and see what's going on."

"Okay." Li Wen nodded and followed beside Li Hao.

Li Hao led Li Wen out of the main gate and strolled around the neighborhood.

Apart from a river to the west, the other three directions are all covered with trees and forests.

"This river is quite clear. We can get water from this river to drink from now on, so we won't have to worry about running out of water."

Li Wen pointed to the river in the distance.

The river flows clear and the banks are lined with lush trees.

"Hmm." Li Hao looked at the river and noticed that some people had already approached the riverbank.

An old man bent down, scooped up the water with both hands, and gulped it down.

"This water is wonderful, even sweeter than the well water back home," the old man said with a broad smile.

Seeing this, Li Hao shook his head. This old man must have something wrong with him; he's too thick-skinned.

You dare to drink this water?

"Brother, this old man is really fearless," Li Yuan muttered.

In my heart, I felt that this was like a birthday celebrant eating poison, as if he didn't want to live long enough.

The elderly man's family members shared the same thoughts.

An old woman rushed over and pulled the old man away quickly.

As the two were leaving, they saw a fisherman come to the riverbank with a fishing rod, looking relaxed and ready to fish.

"Brother, look! Isn't this a wild kiwi?"

As they passed by the bushes, Li Wen suddenly pointed to a lush plant next to him and shouted.

Li Hao looked closely and realized it was true.

He walked over, picked one, and examined it carefully. "Yes, it is indeed a wild kiwi, but it's a bit big."

Ordinary wild kiwifruit is only the size of a finger or two, but the kiwifruit in front of me is almost the same size as cultivated ones, and they hang densely on the grass and trees at a glance.

This delighted him.

Upon peeling it open, he saw that it was already cooked. He took a bite and found it to be sweet and sour with a rich flavor.

Without saying a word, the two picked the kiwis one by one and put them into the bag.

Just then, an old woman spotted the two people picking kiwis and immediately ran back to call for help.

A short while later, the old woman called over four people.

It is a family of four.

"That young man is really dishonest. He found some wild fruit and didn't even call out. He just picked it here secretly."

One of the women, who was wearing glasses, said something as she took them off.

Li Hao glanced at her and said bluntly, "Whoever finds it first owns it. Don't you understand that?"

A bearded man standing next to the woman pointed angrily at Li Hao, "How can a young man talk like that?"

Li Hao was taken aback, stopped what he was doing, and glanced at the man. "Logically speaking, what you're doing is already considered robbery!"

He picked up the axe he had just placed in the grass and pointed it at the other man.

Hearing the commotion, Li Wen immediately ran over.

"What are you doing!" He raised his axe as well, glaring at the other man.

"Don't yell at my brother, he's been afraid of dogs since he was a kid."

Although there were five people on the other side, Li Wen felt no fear at all.

They were even prepared to fight.

He was being pointed at by two gleaming axes.

The man and woman, who were only holding kitchen knives, looked embarrassed, and their momentum immediately weakened.

"Why are you swearing?" the woman couldn't help but say to Li Wen.

Li Wen pointed the axe at the woman and said without any politeness, "Don't even mention cursing you to your face. If you can't hear me, I can carve your name on a tombstone."

"you!"

The woman's chest heaved, her face flushed, and she forcefully ripped a kiwi off the vine.

"Brothers, brothers, it was our fault." The young man, fearing a fight would break out between his parents and Li Hao's group, quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Mom and Dad, these wild fruits belong to whoever finds them first. It's already very kind of you two brothers to let us pick them together, so please don't say anything more."

The woman slapped her daughter's shoulder hard and scolded, "Hurry up and pick them! What are you standing there for?"

The daughter didn't talk back, but silently picked kiwis with her head down.

A few more families arrived shortly after.

Li Hao looked at the bag of kiwis; there was almost a full bag already.

They had already picked all the larger kiwis in front of them.

"Let's go."

Li Hao, along with Li Wen, each carrying a bag of kiwis, walked back.

"Ah, help!"

They had only taken a few steps when a scream came from not far behind them. When Li Hao and Li Wen turned around, they only saw a thick snake tail disappear into the jungle.

Just a glimpse, and the scales shimmered in the sunlight, possessing a metallic texture.

A small, dark figure, seemingly startled, darted past Li Hao's feet.

It looked like a big rat, with shiny black fur.

"Hurry up!"

Li Hao, carrying the bag, urged Li Wen on and quickened his pace.

That was reckless.

I couldn't resist the sight of kiwifruit.

The environment here is far more dangerous than imagined.

Li Hao and Li Wen took off running.

When passing by the river.

From afar, I saw the fisherman standing in the water, convulsing, his fishing rod floating on the surface, before he plunged headfirst into the water, which turned murky.

"Husband! Husband!"

A woman rushed to the shore but stopped, staring at the sinking man, completely at a loss.

She was wiping away tears on the shore, calling out incessantly.
