snowmobile

The neighbors looked like they had met a savior.

  Even a portion of the people whose hearts were as if they were dead and were already wrapped up in their homes waiting to die, their eyes were bursting with bright light at this moment.

  "Zhang Yi, can you really go out and get supplies back?"

  "If that's the case, we'll be able to survive!"

  "Even though the blizzard has sealed off the city, with all the supplies that our society has produced over the past few decades, it's actually enough for us to survive!"

  "Zhang Yi, I'm really ... so touched!"

  "We treated you so well in the beginning, and you are still ... now."

  Some people choked up.

  Originally, almost everyone in their families had died in Zhang Yi's hands.

  But now their hatred towards Zhang Yi seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden, and only gratitude remained in their hearts.

  Zhang Yi said in a deep voice, "Since I've become this building manager, I have to be responsible for every single person!"

  "And I'm running out of supplies at home, going out to look for supplies is the only way out for us to survive."

  When Zhang Yi said this, everyone felt more solid in their hearts.

  Under the post-apocalyptic world, if you said that you did good things for good people, others would always think that you were hypocritical in retrospect.

  However, if you yourself had a need for benefits, people would think that was normal.

  After all, it's been almost a month since the end of the world.

  There were quite a few people starving to death in their neighbors' homes.

  So they thought that even if Zhang Yi had hoarded more supplies at home, there would be a day when they would run out.

  What's more, now that there were two of them in the family, the supplies were depleted even faster.

  The neighbors were grateful to Zhang Yi, praising him like a god in their words.

  So much so that Zhou Ke'er laughed and said, "If you were to set up a sect at this time, you could be a godfather!"

  Religions grew the fastest in times of disaster.

  This was because people always needed a spiritual support.

  Zhang Yi smiled faintly, "There's no need to get complicated with a bunch of cannon fodder."

  "All I have to do is use a piece of moldy steamed bun to make them see me as more affectionate than their own father."

  Zhou Ke'er asked curiously, "But, do you really want to go out?"

  Her eyes were permeated with a hint of worry and guilt.

  Zhang Yi understood that she truly thought that Zhang Yi was running out of supplies in his hands and felt that she was dragging him down.

  Zhang Yi pinched her pink cheeks and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Don't worry, the supplies at home are enough to feed you."

  "I'm merely looking for a suitable opportunity to go out and take a look at the situation outside."

  If it was usual, Zhang Yi didn't quite dare to go out for fear of being sneak attacked by his crazy neighbors.

  But now, he had become everyone's hope of survival, so naturally, they would not come over to attack him.

  Zhou Keer nodded, "Then I'll go with you!"

  She knew that Zhang Yi did not fully trust her, so she took the initiative to ask to go with him.

  Zhang Yi looked at her with deep eyes and shook his head slowly but firmly.

  "We're in this kind of relationship now, do you think I would still suspect you?"

  "A woman should just stay at home and wait for your man to return!"

  Zhang Yi slowly stood up.

  A touched look welled up in Zhou Keer's eyes.

  However, this touching didn't last long.

  This was because Zhang Yi quickly collected all the remaining food and coal inside the home into the space.

  "I trust you one hundred percent!"

  Zhang Yi said with a smile.

  Zhou Keer: "..."

  She had a big speechless look on her face, she had just been touched by Zhang Yi for a moment, but she didn't expect him to revert to his original mouth immediately.

  Zhang Yi ignored Zhou Keer's mournful expression and returned to his room to change his clothes.

  This was the first time after the end of the world that he chose to leave the unit building.

With the snow sealing off the city and no living creatures visible outside, the danger factor was not that high.

  However, out of prudence and caution, Zhang Yi still put on a layer of calfskin jacket.

  This thing, even if he stabbed it with a knife, he couldn't penetrate it without enough force.

  After thinking carefully, he found two pans in the alien space and placed one in front and back of his body.

  This way even if he encountered an opponent with a gun, an ordinary pistol wouldn't be able to injure his vitals.

  Finally, he put on his winter armor.

  By this time, the figure already looked bloated, but the security was full.

  Zhang Yi took out a one meter long crowbar and tried it inside his hand.

  In a real fight, this kind of thick crowbar was actually more useful than a mountain opening knife.

  The wounds from the knife would not make a person lose their fighting ability immediately, but the body would have to fall down immediately after receiving such a stick.

  Zhang Yi took the crowbar, filled up the pistol magazine and put it into his pocket.

  Only after he was fully armed did he leave the house.

  The temperature outside was cold, and even though he was wearing the same professional-grade sportswear of the National Mountaineering Team, he could still feel a hint of coolness.

  Only this coolness would not affect Zhang Yi, and after going out for some exercise, his body would warm up.

  Holding the crowbar in both hands, he walked down the stairs to the bottom without haste.

  Before walking, he would observe the situation around him.

  There was no big deal in being careful.

  There were no situations along the way, after all, people who were not careful with themselves were still very few.

  Zhang Yi arrived at the fourth floor.

  Due to the actions of the Tianhe Gang and others, the residents here had basically moved to the upper floors, and no one lived below the tenth floor anymore.

  Zhang Yi pushed the door and entered, the inside was a mess, the windows had been smashed, and even the not-so-sturdy security window had been split into a big hole.

  The wind invaded the building through this big hole, whistling loudly.

  Zhang Yi carefully climbed out along this hole.

  When his feet landed on the ground, the ice and snow directly reached his knees.

  However, due to the increasing amount of snow, it was already somewhat compacted underneath, and didn't let his entire body sink in.

  However, it was also more difficult to walk on this kind of snow.

  Zhang Yi raised his head and looked around, the large Yuelu neighborhood was dead silent, and there was nothing else in the air except the sound of the wind.

  He also did not see anyone else's prying eyes.

  Zhang Yi took out the snowmobile from the foreign space, and before he came, it was already filled with gas.

  The driving of this kind of vehicle was not complicated, Zhang Yi knew how to operate it after a little pondering and reading the instructions.

  He rolled over onto the vehicle and turned the key, and then a roar of the engine sounded.

  Zhang Yi drove the snowmobile and drove all the way towards the outside of the neighborhood.

  As he left the neighborhood, Zhang Yi seemed to sense that some people were looking at him through the windows.

  This was not a surprise.

  After all, there was no sign of any human beings outside now, and the sound of this motorcycle was extremely ear-piercing.

  "It looks like there will be people who will be greedy for me in the future because of this snowmobile!"

  A cold smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth.

  He was not afraid of exposing the existence of the snowmobile.

  There were too many people who wanted to hit on him.

  Not to mention now, killing someone for a cookie wasn't even a surprise.

  In Zhang Yi's own words, it was all about debt.

  The snow had flooded many of the short houses, and the streets were even more invisible to anything.

  But after living here for more than twenty years, Zhang Yi could roughly figure out the direction through those high-rise landmarks.

  So for him, there would be no problem of getting lost.
