Chapter 226 - Cang Tian is Dead

 At the end of the evening, Zhang Yi and the others hosted a banquet to welcome Yang Xinxin and Lu Keyan.

 It had been too long since they had eaten such good food, and even for the elites of the noble school, after a few seconds of reserve at the beginning, their eating started to become a bit pompous at the back.

 Zhang Yi silently put down the chopsticks in his hands.

 Just admiring two girls eating like this made him feel extraordinarily interesting.

 Yang Mi and Zhou Ke'er looked heartbroken, and while giving them food, they asked them how they had gotten by during their time at Tianqing Academy.

 Lu Ke Yan had a lion's head stuffed inside her mouth, then with a big grin, she served a big bowl of seaweed and egg flower soup and said vaguely, "There's no shortage of food in the school!"

 "Our school only has over three hundred students, but there are twelve large and small cafeterias. There are more ingredients inside the warehouse than we can eat."

 "Not to mention there's also an internal supermarket."

 Zhang Yi smiled faintly, he was unable to understand about that so-called aristocratic school, and was only able to imagine it through Lu Ke Yan's words.

 Lu Ke Yan swallowed the pills into his mouth and looked at Zhang Yi gratefully, "But fortunately, big brother, you went to save us! Otherwise, in that cold weather, even with more food we are afraid that we wouldn't be able to last long."

 Zhang Yi smiled, "Luckily, you guys are under the ground and there are a lot of people, instead the temperature won't be that cold."

 Ice and snow were also a great insulation material, at the very least, resistance to wind was true.

 After Xu Dong Village's houses were flooded by ice and snow, it was by relying on Xu Chunlei to build them houses with ice and snow that they were able to maintain their current lives.

 "Work well here in the future, you won't starve."

 Lu Ke Yan's character was very much to Zhang Yi's liking.

 It wasn't that he had thoughts about Lu Ke Yan, but he liked dealing with straightforward people.

 Lu Ke Yan couldn't stop nodding, "Thank you big brother!"

 Zhou Ke'er and Yang Mi looked at Zhang Yi, and the two of them exchanged glances, a big stone in their hearts was finally put down.

 They were very worried that Zhang Yi resented these two people as a burden.

 After all, if there were two more people to eat, the consumption of supplies inside the house would be a little more than half!

 But what they didn't know was how many supplies were stored inside Zhang Yi's alien space.

 Even if the five of them ate and drank openly every day, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to use it up without two hundred years.

 Moreover, Zhang Yi could go out and look for supplies that were frozen up, so he didn't have to worry about food at all.

 After finishing dinner, Yang Mi took the initiative to go over and clean up the dishes.

 In recent times, she had basically taken over all the housework.

 Even when Zhou Keer was around, she would snatch the job over.

 Her mentality towards Zhang Yi had changed from being wary in the beginning, to trusting later on, and now she had even developed some feelings of guilt.

 In this family, Zhou Keer was a doctor, Yang Xinxin was a computer genius, and Lu Keyan was a mechanical genius.

 And what about her?

 What could she do other than resting with Zhang Yi?

 Although Zhang Yi hadn't said anything about her, Yang Mi was a very strong woman and she didn't like being a useless vase.

 At the dinner table, Zhang Yi ate while chatting with Yang Xinxin and Lu Keyan about the rules inside the shelter.

 The rapport between the few people made her feel a slight loss in her heart.

 She also hoped that she could become a useful person.

 It was best to be the same as Zhou Keer and the few of them, the kind of irreplaceable existence.

 After finishing their meal, a few people rested on the sofa and watched TV in the meantime.

 Zhang Yi leaned on the sofa, Zhou Keer and Yang Mi sat next to him, and since the two little sisters were there, their posture was not too intimate.

 However, Yang Xinxin detected a hint of an abnormal flavor.

 However, she didn't say anything, with her intelligence, she naturally understood that this situation was common in the post-apocalyptic world.

 Only Lu Ke Yan sat on the bed with his legs crossed and bare feet, his eyes staring straight at the huge TV.

 What could be seen nowadays, apart from the previously stored movie and television dramas, was the content of the official media news from all over the world.

 The domestic ones were basically directly ignored, without much valuable intelligence.

 Watching it, the atmosphere inside the living room became odd.

 Because inside today's news, they had gotten a very important, yet equally very disturbing news.

 "The snowstorm has descended for more than a month and so far shows no signs of stopping, the temperature continues to be cold, and the connectivity between most of the regions around the globe is starting to break down."

 "The resulting scramble for supplies is intensifying, especially as it occurs between countries and regions."

 "Extremely bad weather caused officialdom in several regions around the globe to lose control. And most of the organizations with armed forces rose up and began to use force to control resources and surviving humans."

 Such news undoubtedly made people feel very depressed.

 Because this also means that the world has officially entered the era of disorder.

 Then, the armed forces would also lose their constraints.

 "This is going to be a bit bad!"

 Zhang Yi mumbled as he clasped his hands over his chest.

 Yang Mi was a bit puzzled, "Hasn't chaos descended long ago? It's just ... that I didn't expect it to become so terrible."

 She sighed softly in her heart, originally thinking that the world would return to its original state and she would continue to be that star in the limelight.

 Now she basically dared not hold that thought.

 "It's not the same."

 Zhang Yi said, "In the past, even if some organizations with armed forces wanted to do something, at the very least, they would still be wary of higher-level forces."

 "However, the extremely cold weather that has lasted for more than a month means that the ice age will not pass anytime soon."

 "In that case, the armed forces everywhere won't have to worry about being liquidated. Then they'll be able to do things without fear!"

 Yang Xinxin added, "It's like the rules and regulations of some units. It exists there, and perhaps not everyone has to abide by it. But with it there, everyone would be more or less scrupulous and wouldn't go too far."

 "But now, there is no order in this world anymore!"

 "Rather, it won't be completely so, right?"

 Zhang Yi glanced at Yang Xinxin.

 "The most powerful force is still attributed to the highest level."

 "It's just that due to the extremely cold weather, they were unable to grasp other regions in a timely and effective manner. That's why it led to the emergence of warlord-like forces in various regions."

 "How can I put it? It's similar to the Shang and Zhou eras, where the Zhou Emperor sat in the imperial gates and held the strongest force."

 "While the other regions are governed by the existing local armed forces."

 "Unless the end passes, this phenomenon will continue for a long time."

 Yang Xinxin nodded, agreeing with Zhang Yi's words.

 Yang Mi blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Isn't this also quite good? That said, it won't be too different from before. At least they still have something to fear!"

 Zhang Yi laughed.

 "Of course not!"

 "Why is that?"

 "Because in the past, all rights were vested at the top. But now the regions had to be handed over to the local armed forces to manage."

 "This also means that the era of chaotic warfare where the lords and vassals are divided may be coming!"

 Zhang Yi took a deep breath, "The era where human lives are like grass will also arrive."

 Battles between ordinary people and ordinary people had limited casualties.

 The scale of deaths would rapidly increase after the Inhumans came down to the field.

 But this was nothing compared to armed forces coming down to fight.

 Zhang Yi had once spent a month taking out more than a thousand people inside the neighborhood.

 However, after the armed forces of the regions came down to fight for resources, the number of deaths and injuries would be incalculable.

 And the safety of the civilian population could not be guaranteed even more.
