Conspiracy breaks out
However, now everyone is just complaining. In a couple of days, hehe, they'll start fighting over food.
Forget about kinship and relatives, when you're starving and thirsty, you'll do anything to survive.
Human nature's depravity lies in a moment of thought.
*Ding*, Eugene received a message.
Upon checking, it was from Claire.
Eugene wasn't surprised; yesterday she was flaunting wealth on social media, and now she was reaching out to him. He thought it was a bit late.
Was Claire trying to play it cool?
"Eugene, can you give me another chance?"
"With the ongoing natural disaster, it might last a long time, so I'm not after your money. Do you believe that I'm sincere, huh?"
After a while, she sent another message.
"I'm coming over to see you tonight, okay?"
Here she comes.
Eugene smirked. My venomous ex-wife, what game are you playing? Do you think I'm clueless?
"I'll consider it," he replied.
the walker family.
After seeing Eugene's reply, Claire smirked coldly. "He took the bait."
Chris grunted heavily, saying, "That little brat dared to humiliate me publicly before, this time, I'll show him!"
Dash was also rubbing his hands together, visibly excited.
Claire nodded. "Everything according to plan. I'll deceive him to open the door, and Dad and the little brother will rush in to subdue Eugene!"
Dawn was still a bit fearful. "What if the natural disaster ends, and Eugene goes to the police?"
Claire wasn't worried at all. "With the current situation, the natural disaster won't end anytime soon! So, this time, many people should die, and surely many will do similar things as me."
"No one will single us out, and even if they do, we can just kill Eugene. Then what will he report?"
Murder?
Chris shuddered at the thought. He didn't expect his daughter to speak such harsh words. Little did he know, Claire could design the death of her own son, and now with the disaster, she was afraid of killing others?
Especially Eugene, whom she hated so much.
"In short, if you don't want to starve to death, tonight is the night!" Claire concluded.
Chris and his son nodded involuntarily, imagining eating plain rice with
pickled vegetables every day was driving them insane.
Yeah, I'm starving, why fear committing a crime?
*Ding*, Eugene received a friend request.
He was about to ignore it but then noticed the note.
"I'm Cathy's sister-in-law, Isabel."
Huh?
Eugene's heart skipped a beat, and he accepted the friend request.
"Eugene, boss, do you have a lot of food and water?" Isabel
immediately messaged.
"Not particularly a lot, but enough to survive," Eugene replied.
"Can you sell me some?" Isabel asked again.
"Heh, right now, food and clean water are life. Who would sell their life?" Eugene intentionally emphasized, significantly raising the importance of food and water.Just as important as life itself!
But was he exaggerating?
No, not at all.
With the power outage, everyone would realize.
The natural disaster won't end.
Rescue won't come.
So, food and clean water are paramount!
Isabel replied after a while, "Then how can I get some to eat and drink? I'm almost starving and dying of thirst!"
"Send me a photo, turn off the beauty mode, and don't add any filters.
Otherwise, you're responsible for the consequences."
*Ding*.
In no time, Eugene received a photo.
It was a picture taken in a scenic area, with a beautiful woman leaning against a rock, making a peace sign.
She scored 80 in looks and 80 in figure.
Not quite a goddess, but definitely a beauty.
"Okay, come over. You know where I am, right?" Eugene replied.
"I'm on my way!"
The phone went silent, and after a while, *knock knock knock*, the door to the basement was knocked.
Eugene first checked through the surveillance cameras, not just one but three, covering the entire passage with no blind spots.
There was only one woman, dressed in thick winter clothes.
It was Isabel, quite different from the person in the photo.
Eugene chuckled and opened the door.
Isabel walked in, and Eugene closed the door behind her.
"Wow, it's warm here!" Isabel exclaimed and took off her coat, revealinga tight sweater that accentuated her ample bosom, forming an exaggerated curve.
Then, her gaze was drawn to the food on the nearby table.
Not a lot of dishes, but there was meat, fish, vegetables, and a bowl of soup, chicken soup.
She couldn't help but be excited and asked Eugene, "Is this for me?"
Eugene smiled, "Yes, but whether you can eat it depends on your behavior."
Biting her lip, Isabel seemed to be making a difficult decision.
Eugene didn't say anything but reached out.
Isabel trembled slightly but didn't resist or retreat.
She had skipped two meals and was terribly thirsty, which completely weakened her resolve.
"Go ahead and eat," Eugene said. He wasn't worried about Isabelchanging her mind.
Isabel was overjoyed and didn't bother with formalities. She immediately gulped down a bottle of water, then opened another one, feeling that water was the most delicious thing in the world.After quenching her thirst, she started eating the rice and dishes.
Eugene wasn't idle either; his hands were busy.
All was well.
Eugene also gave Isabel two packs of instant noodles and two bottle of water before letting her leave.
His safe house wouldn't accommodate any women overnight!
As Isabel left the house, tears streamed down her face.She used to be a campus beauty in college, pursued by many, basking in admiration.But now?
She sold her body for a meal.
However, after feeling the weight of the bottled water and instant noodles in her clothes, she showed a satisfied expression again.
Surviving gives you the right to think about other things.
Eugene felt relaxed all over.
Indeed, you can't hold back forever; eventually, it will burst out.
He went upstairs, and the dog immediately circled around him, sniffing a few times, then tilting its head, as if asking, "How come you smell like someone else?"
Eugene chuckled, "I forgot you have a keen nose."
"Leopard, from now on, I'll leave the guard duty to you. If you hear anything or smell anyone else, be sure to let me know!" Eugene said, even though he wasn't sure if Leopard understood.
"Woof woof!" Unexpectedly, Leopard barked twice, seeming to agree with him.
"Good dog!" Eugene picked up his phone and started scrolling.
Dorothy and Nora had messaged him; the extreme weather had been ongoing for two days, but the situation hadn't improved at all. They were both worried. However, one lived in the Doomsday Fortress, and the other had received a large amount of supplies from Eugene, so they could easily last for two to three months.
Eugene glanced at the group chats; they were bustling.
For example, the work group had many people trapped in the company, now naturally calling for help. There were also long-dormant groups for elementary school, middle school, high school, and university. Clearly, everyone was panicking, grasping at any channel to send out distress signals.
Eugene naturally couldn't help.
He had thought about getting gasoline and diesel, but he didn't dare to act in such dense fog. A car accident could happen any minute.
He passed the boring time during the day.
Night fell.
The entire underground garage was empty because the temperature was too low, and nobody wanted to come here and freeze. With fewer people, it naturally became colder, creating a vicious cycle.
Suddenly, a group of four appeared.
They tiptoed, afraid of making any noise.
But the more they tried not to make a sound, the louder their footsteps sounded in the silent garage. They looked at each other, feeling like someone's steps were too heavy.
It was Claire's family.
Finally, they arrived at the location of Eugene's villa. After passing through a passage, they could enter the basement of the villa. Of course, this was a private area, with a door blocking the way.
Claire had Chris and Dash ambush against the wall. As soon as the door opened, the two would rush in to subdue Eugene.
Then, she knocked on the door.
Before setting off, she had already called Eugene.
In the basement, Eugene watched the surveillance cameras, and the Walker family's every move was clearly visible!
