begging for supplies

At this moment, Fang Yuqing was curled up in her rented house, tightly wrapped in two blankets.

Although the air conditioner was set to 40 degrees, the indoor temperature couldn't even reach 0 degrees.

She shivered from the cold, feeling as if cold wind was blowing into the blankets.

But after seeing the photo that Zhang Yi sent, Fang Yuqing's eyes widened in disbelief.

She couldn't believe that on such a cold day, Zhang Yi was still wearing thin pajamas, comfortably eating steak and drinking red wine.

Weren't they all living in the same building?

Why did it feel like they were living in two different worlds?

Especially when she saw the delicious steak on the table and the bottle of high-end red wine, Fang Yuqing's mouth started watering.

As a top-tier white lotus flower with a knack for fishing, she had some knowledge about these high-end products.

Based on her knowledge, the steak Zhang Yi was eating was undoubtedly authentic top-grade Wagyu beef.

And the French red wine on his side was definitely classified as a Château-level wine, with a bottle costing at least twenty to thirty thousand yuan!

She was freezing to death while Zhang Yi was living so comfortably, which immediately made Fang Yuqing extremely jealous.

She immediately sent a message to Zhang Yi.

"Wow, that's great! I also want to eat steak and drink red wine!"

She believed her hint was already very clear.

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

But after seeing this message, Zhang Yi laughed happily.

Did he still think of himself as a past lapdog?

He leisurely replied with a message.

"If you want to eat, go buy it at the supermarket!"

Fang Yuqing's face froze when she saw this message.

Wasn't that obvious?

It was already minus sixty or seventy degrees outside, and any exposed skin would risk frostbite.

She couldn't believe that Zhang Yi, as a man, would make such unreasonable demands!

Fang Yuqing gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Zhang Yi, you're not a real man! You don't even know how to seize such a good opportunity to show off, hmph!"

At this moment, Fang Yuqing still had some backbone.

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

But in her eyes, Zhang Yi was just a fish in her pond.

Moreover, she believed that this snow disaster would not last more than a few days.

So, she continued to maintain her proud goddess image, not actively asking Zhang Yi for food.

Zhang Yi ignored Fang Yuqing and went to check other chat groups, intending to see the drama unfold.

When he saw the community homeowners' group, he happened to see Aunt Lin from the neighborhood committee urging everyone not to panic and to stay at home obediently.

"Don't worry, it's just a sudden temperature drop. It will pass in two or three days at most."

"Please do not engage in hoarding supplies and trust our government."

"Our neighborhood committee will also find ways to help everyone get through this snow disaster. Please follow orders and don't cause trouble for the authorities."

Some homeowners expressed their dissent.

"With such heavy snow, who knows when it will stop? It's troublesome to go out now. Can we really manage without stocking up on supplies?"

"Yeah, maybe we should go out and buy some groceries! The prices are probably going to skyrocket these few days."

Aunt Lin immediately intensified her tone.

"What are you all doing? Aren't you just causing chaos for us?"

"Hoarding supplies will only lead to higher prices, and everyone will end up having to pay more for food."

"Anyone who dares to hoard supplies and is caught by me, don't blame me for reporting them to the higher-ups for disturbing public order!"

Seeing Aunt Lin in the group acting like a leader, Zhang Yi's lips curled into a cold smile.

Today was the first day of the Ice Age, and due to the extreme weather conditions, the supplies in the supermarkets had not been completely depleted yet.

If someone braved the heavy snow and went out, despite the risk of frostbite, they would have a chance to stock up on essential items.

But due to the intimidation from Aunt Lin, many people held onto a glimmer of hope and did not go out to buy groceries.

The inevitable result was easy to imagine.

At this moment, Aunt Lin suddenly directed her attention towards Zhang Yi.

She mentioned Zhang Yi in the homeowners' group.

"Xiao Zhang, you already stocked up on a lot of things at home earlier. With the severity of the snow disaster, you should not be setting a bad example."

"For the next few days, stay at home obediently. If I catch you going out to buy things again, don't blame Aunt Lin for being merciless!"

Zhang Yi's expression turned sour.

This old woman had asked him for things before, and he didn't give in to her demands.

So she kept it in mind and now seized the opportunity to make things difficult for him.

Unfortunately, Aunt Lin, the neighborhood committee member, was nothing to Zhang Yi now.

He replied with a cold smirk, "Aunt Lin, nobody knows how long this snow disaster will last. If it goes on for a long time and everyone runs out of food, can you take responsibility for that?"

With this question from Zhang Yi, he voiced what many people were thinking.

Everyone was dissatisfied with Aunt Lin's words, but they were hesitant to argue due to her position in the neighborhood committee.

With Zhang Yi taking the lead, someone immediately spoke up and asked, "Yeah, if you don't let us stock up on supplies, who will be held accountable when we face shortages?"

"Can you bear that responsibility?"

Aunt Lin, seeing everyone standing up to refute her, started to feel a bit flustered.

At the same time, she grew even more resentful towards Zhang Yi.

How dare he openly defy her in the homeowners' group? Wasn't he disrespecting her?

"Don't worry, we, the neighborhood committee, can assure everyone that there won't be a shortage of supplies! The snow disaster will pass quickly."

"And you, Zhang Yi. Don't incite unrest during such times. Your behavior is illegal and disorderly!"

Cowering in her home, Aunt Lin gritted her teeth and said with malice, "This Zhang Yi really has no idea of his place. I'll figure out a way to have him detained for a few days in a black jail."

Zhang Yi burst into laughter.

Even at such a time, this woman named Lin still wanted to act as she did in the past, abusing her limited power. It was truly laughable.

"Oh my, I can't handle such a big hat you're putting on me."

"Rest assured, it's so cold outside that I won't even step out. Do as you please!"

He had already stocked up on supplies, so there was no need for him to go out and join others in fighting over vegetables in supermarkets.

But those who believed Aunt Lin's nonsense would soon find themselves in a dire situation.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With the advent of the apocalypse, he had no idea how many people would freeze or starve to death.

However, some people deserved their fate, such as those neighbors from his previous life who had caused his demise.

Regardless of whether they lived or died, Zhang Yi had made up his mind to survive.

What did he care about the lives or deaths of others?
