Chapter 15:Strife in the Ice Age: Greed, Authority, and Survival

At this moment, Fang Yuqing is huddled in her rented apartment, tightly wrapped in two quilts.

Although the air - conditioner has been set to 40 degrees Celsius, the indoor temperature can't even reach 0 degree.

She is shivering all over from the cold, feeling as if cold air is pouring into the quilt from all directions in the air.

After seeing the photo sent by Zhang Yi, Fang Yuqing's eyes widen in disbelief immediately.

She can't believe that in such cold weather, Zhang Yi is still wearing thin pajamas, comfortably eating steak and drinking Red Bull.

After all, they live in the same apartment unit!

Why does it feel like they are living in two different worlds?

Especially when she sees the delicious - looking steak on the table and that high - end bottle of red wine, Fang Yuqing's mouth waters.

As a top - notch "white lotus" and gold - digger, she has some knowledge of these luxury items.

According to her knowledge, the steak Zhang Yi is eating clearly looks like authentic top - grade Wagyu beef.

Especially the French red wine beside his hand is definitely from a classified chateau, with a price of at least twenty to thirty thousand yuan per bottle!

She is freezing to death while Zhang Yi is living so comfortably, which makes Fang Yuqing extremely jealous.

She immediately sends a message to Zhang Yi.

"How nice. I also want to eat steak and drink red wine."

She thinks her hint is already very obvious.

According to Zhang Yi's previous character, he would surely take the initiative to bring her steak and red wine at this time.

But after seeing this message, Zhang Yi laughs heartily.

Does she still think of him as the former bootlicker?

He slowly replies with a message.

"If you want to eat, go buy it from the supermarket."

After seeing this message, Fang Yuqing's face stiffens instantly.

Isn't this nonsense?

It's minus sixty or seventy degrees outside. Now, any exposed skin will risk getting frostbite.

She is such a delicate girl. How can he make such an excessive request!

Fang Yuqing grits her teeth and says angrily, "Zhang Yi, you're really not a man! You don't even know to come and show off when given such a great opportunity. Humph!"

At this time, Fang Yuqing still has some pride.

Although she really wants to eat steak and drink high - end red wine.

In her eyes, Zhang Yi is just a fish in her pond.

Moreover, she believes that this snow disaster will pass in a few days.

So, she still tries hard to maintain her image as a haughty goddess and doesn't take the initiative to ask Zhang Yi for food.

Zhang Yi doesn't continue to pay attention to Fang Yuqing. Instead, he goes to look at other chat groups, planning to watch the drama unfold.

When he looks at the neighborhood owners' group, he happens to see Aunt Lin from the neighborhood committee appealing to everyone not to panic and to stay at home obediently.

"Everyone, don't worry. It's just a sudden temperature drop. It will be over in at most two or three days."

"Don't rush to stockpile supplies. Trust our government."

"Our neighborhood committee will also help everyone find a way to get through this snow disaster. Please obey orders and don't cause trouble for the government."

Some owners raise objections.

"With such heavy snow, we don't know when it will stop. It's troublesome for us to go out now. Can we not stockpile some supplies at home?"

"Yes. Otherwise, let's go out and buy some vegetables. I'm afraid the vegetable prices will skyrocket these days."

Aunt Lin immediately raises her tone.

"What are you all doing? Aren't you causing trouble?"

"Rushing to stockpile supplies will only make prices more expensive, and then everyone will have to buy vegetables at high prices."

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"If I find anyone daring to stockpile supplies, don't blame me for reporting them to the higher authorities for disturbing the public order!"

Seeing Aunt Lin, who is acting like a leader and commanding everyone in the group, Zhang Yi curls the corner of his mouth with a sneer.

Today is the first day of the Ice Age. Due to the extremely cold weather outside, in fact, the supplies in the supermarket haven't been completely looted yet.

If one goes out in the heavy snow at this time, although there is a risk of frostbite, there is definitely an opportunity to stockpile some supplies.

However, because of Aunt Lin's intimidation, many people have a 侥幸心理 and don't go out to buy vegetables.

The final result can be easily imagined.

Just at this moment, Aunt Lin suddenly points her spear at Zhang Yi.

She @s Zhang Yi in the owners' group.

"Xiao Zhang, you have stocked a lot of things at home before. Now that the snow disaster is severe, you mustn't be a bad example."

"Stay at home obediently these days. If I find you going out to buy things again, don't blame Aunt Lin for being unmerciful!"

Zhang Yi's face turns a little ugly.

This old hag. Last time, because she asked him for something and he didn't give it to her.

So she has held a grudge ever since. Now that she has the chance, she doesn't forget to make sarcastic remarks.

But unfortunately, what neighborhood committee aunt? Now she means nothing to Zhang Yi.

He replies with a cold sneer, "Aunt Lin, no one knows how long this snow disaster will last. What if it lasts for a long time? Can you be responsible if everyone has no food then?"

Zhang Yi's question has spoken the minds of many people.

Everyone is dissatisfied with Aunt Lin's words. But due to Aunt Lin's identity as a neighborhood committee member, they don't dare to refute too much.

With Zhang Yi taking the lead, someone immediately stands up and asks.

"Yes. You don't let us stockpile supplies. Who will be responsible if we are short of food and drink then?"

"Can you afford this responsibility?"

Seeing everyone standing up to refute her, Aunt Lin is also a little flustered.

At the same time, she hates Zhang Yi even more in her heart.

He actually refutes her publicly in the owners' group. Isn't this disrespecting her?

"Don't worry. Our neighborhood committee can tell everyone very responsibly that there will be no shortage of supplies! The snow disaster will also pass soon."

"And you, Zhang Yi. Don't stir up people's hearts at this time. Your behavior is illegal!"

Aunt Lin, huddled at home, grits her teeth and says viciously, "This Zhang Yi really doesn't know his place. Later, find a way to arrest him and detain him in a dark place for a few days."

Zhang Yi bursts out laughing.

At a time like this, this old woman surnamed Lin still wants to act like she used to, relying on her little power to throw her weight around. It's really ridiculous.

"Oh my. I can't bear such a big and fancy accusation."

"Don't worry. It's so cold outside. I won't go out even if you ask me to. Do as you like!"

He has already stocked up all his supplies. Of course, there's no need for him to go out and fight with others for vegetables in the supermarket.

However, those who believe Aunt Lin's nonsense will be in a miserable situation later.

Zhang Yi sighs a little in his heart. When the end of the world comes, he doesn't know how many people will die of cold and hunger.

However, some people deserve to die, such as those neighbors who killed him in his previous life.

Whether they live or die, Zhang Yi has made up his mind that he will survive at all costs.

What does the life and death of others have to do with Zhang Yi?
