Zhang Yi yawned languidly as he sat on the sofa.

While others were suffering from hunger and cold, he was living a life more comfortable than in paradise.

His home was equipped with the most perfect heat - insulation system and an inexhaustible supply of fuel, sufficient to keep his safe house at a comfortably constant temperature throughout the year.

All he needed to do next was to ensure he was happy every single day.

At this moment, there were no interesting programs on TV.

Various live broadcasts had also been shut down due to the extreme low temperature.

After all, those beautiful anchors he usually adored couldn't possibly endure the sub - zero temperatures of sixty, seventy, or even over a hundred degrees Celsius to dance in camisoles.

If there were such a person, Zhang Yi would have to give a thumbs - up and praise, "What a tough one!"

He opened his mysterious space. In the electronic equipment area, there were numerous game consoles and AAA - rated games.

There were hundreds of brand - new, unopened PS5s, Switches, or Xboxes.

As for game cartridges, there were as many as tens of thousands of sets.

Zhang Yi took out the latest PS5 and installed it on the 100 - inch giant Sony TV at home, and then started playing games.

He was playing the latest AAA - rated action game of this year, "Bayonetta 3".

Beside him were games like "Elden Ring", "The Witcher 3", and "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice".

If one wanted to kill time, they were all excellent choices.

If one complained that the game duration was too short, there were even games like "Civilization" and "Cities: Skylines" that were extremely time - consuming and could make him have a great time.

Without having to worry about work and social niceties in the future, this kind of life was even more enjoyable than before the apocalypse!

Since he was alone at home, Zhang Yi, wearing only pajamas, ate snacks while playing games, having a great time.

After a while, his mobile phone rang.

Zhang Yi casually picked it up and saw that it was that annoying Aunt Lin from the neighborhood committee @ing him in the group.

"Zhang Yi, the roads outside are now blocked by heavy snow. Come out with tools later and help clear the snow!"

There was an authoritative tone in her words.

Zhang Yi also noticed that she was calling on everyone in the group to go out and clear the snow, but there were very few responses.

Unexpectedly, she had come directly to him.

Zhang Yi took a look at the heavy snow outside the house. Almost the entire first floor was covered.

With snow three meters deep, it was almost impossible to clear it by manpower.

Moreover, Zhang Yi knew that the snow would continue to fall for at least another three months.

Going out to clear the snow now would be slower than the snowfall.

Zhang Yi immediately refused, "Going out in such cold weather would turn us into popsicles in no time. We should wait until the snow stops to clear it even if we do."

Some people below also echoed Zhang Yi.

"Yes. It's minus seventy - something degrees outside. We'll probably get frostbite in a short while if we go out."

"We're not in the northeast here. There aren't any proper cold - proof equipment at all. How can we go out?"

Aunt Lin got anxious on the spot.

"What kind of attitude is this? Clearing the snow isn't for me. It's for everyone!"

"You're all young and strong. When disaster strikes, how can you just try to avoid it instead of taking the initiative to serve the people?"

She pointed her spear at Zhang Yi, who was the leader of the opposition.

"Zhang Yi, I order you in the name of the neighborhood committee that you must go out and clear the snow!"

"Now is a time of crisis. We must unite and follow the organization's instructions!"

"Whoever dares to oppose me will be opposing the leadership of the neighborhood committee! When the snow disaster is over, you will surely be punished by the organization!"

Aunt Lin once again brought up her identity as a neighborhood committee member.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

The owners immediately became angry but dared not speak.

Since the snow disaster had just begun and various social orders still existed, no one dared to disobey.

Although these neighborhood committee members seemed to have little power, because the little power they had was closely related to everyone's daily life, people were reluctant to mess with them.

Everyone remained silent, none willing to be the first to stand out.

However, many people hoped that Zhang Yi would stand up, harshly refute Aunt Lin, and be the first to speak for them.

Zhang Yi, of course, knew what these "ostriches" were thinking. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he felt great contempt for them in his heart.

But it was impossible for him to swallow his anger.

So he decided to directly break with Aunt Lin.

He scrolled through the chat history above. The people Aunt Lin @ed were all young people in the community who were usually more compliant.

As for those troublesome troublemakers or the powerful and wealthy, she had simply ignored them.

So Zhang Yi directly taunted, "Aunt Lin is right. Since it's for everyone's sake, you neighborhood committee members should take the lead in going out to clear the snow."

"Besides, when it comes to being young and strong, there are so many people in our community. Why did you only call us few?"

"Do you think we're easy to bully? You didn't @ those socialites or rich second - generation kids at all."

"What? When you meet them, you don't dare to say a word?"

When the other owners saw Zhang Yi's words, they all nodded with satisfaction.

"Zhang Yi is really speaking for us on the Internet!"

"Right. She only picked on the nice guys. Why didn't she go to Chen Zhenghao and Xu Hao and those guys?"

Everyone actually knew who Zhang Yi was referring to.

Living in the same community, they knew clearly who the influential figures were.

For example, Chen Zhenghao, who lived in 601 on the sixth floor, was a well - known local gangster. He was in the earth - moving project business and had hundreds of men under him.

Another example was Xu Hao in 802 on the eighth floor. His father was a famous real - estate developer in Tianhai City, and there were also family members working in the government.

Aunt Lin hadn't mentioned either of them from start to finish.

Zhang Yi directly exposed Aunt Lin's nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, which made Aunt Lin lose face instantly.

She hadn't mentioned those tough guys because she didn't have the guts, and they wouldn't have paid any attention to her either.

People like her always bullied the weak and feared the strong.

If Zhang Yi had always been like this in the past, Aunt Lin wouldn't have asked him to clear the snow here.

Feeling humiliated, she angrily sent several long voice messages in the group one after another.

"Clearing snow is public service, for everyone's benefit. Some people are so petty about such a small matter and have no spirit of dedication at all!"

"Such people are simply the black sheep of our owners' group!"

"If you don't want to do it, then don't. There are plenty of people who will. Everyone else's awareness is much higher than yours."

"Also, I'm not giving special treatment to certain people. It's just that there's no need to @ everyone one by one. I hope you all understand and don't make mistakes!"

"If you continue to spread these remarks that slander me, I'll call the police!"

Aunt Lin's explanation, instead, made her seem more guilty.

Especially at the end, when she even claimed to call the police, it made Zhang Yi burst out laughing.

When the other owners heard Aunt Lin's words, the timid ones were already a little scared and took tools to clear the snow.

But at this time, Zhang Yi wasn't afraid of her at all.

Not to mention that the police wouldn't support her unreasonable and vexatious behavior.

Moreover, she couldn't still think that all social systems were operating normally, could she?
