Chapter 15: The White Lotus Asking for Supplies
At this time, Fang Yuqing was huddled in her rented apartment, wrapping two quilts tightly around her body.
Although the air conditioner had been turned up to 40 degrees Celsius, the indoor temperature couldn't even reach 0 degrees Celsius.
She was shivering all over from the cold, feeling that the cold wind was pouring into the quilt in the air.
After seeing the photo sent by Zhang Yi, Fang Yuqing immediately stared wide-eyed.
She couldn't believe that in such cold weather, Zhang Yi was still wearing thin pajamas and comfortably eating steak and drinking red wine there.
After all, they all lived in the same unit!
Why did it feel like they were living in two different worlds?
Especially after seeing the delicious steak on the table and that bottle of high-end red wine, Fang Yuqing's mouth almost watered.
As a top-notch white lotus and a gold digger, she had some knowledge of these high-end goods.
According to her knowledge, the steak Zhang Yi was eating was clearly authentic top-notch Wagyu beef at first glance.
Especially the French red wine beside his hand was definitely from a classified chateau, and each bottle cost at least twenty to thirty thousand yuan!
She was freezing to death now, while Zhang Yi was living so comfortably, which immediately made Fang Yuqing extremely jealous.
She immediately sent a message to Zhang Yi.
"How nice! I also want to eat steak and drink red wine!"
She thought her hint was already very obvious.
According to Zhang Yi's previous personality, he would surely take the initiative to send her steak and red wine at this time.
However, after seeing this message, Zhang Yi laughed happily.
Did she still think of him as the former lapdog?
He slowly replied with a message.
"If you want to eat, go buy it from the supermarket!"
After seeing this message, Fang Yuqing's face immediately froze.
Wasn't this nonsense?
It was minus sixty or seventy degrees Celsius outside. Now, if any inch of skin was exposed, there was a risk of frostbite.
She was such a delicate girl. How could he make such an excessive request!
Fang Yuqing gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Zhang Yi, you're really not a man! You don't even know how to take this good opportunity to show off. Humph!"
At this time, Fang Yuqing still had some backbone.
Although she really wanted to eat steak and drink high-end red wine.
In her eyes, Zhang Yi was just a fish in her fishpond.
Moreover, she thought that this snow disaster would pass in a few days.
So, she still tried hard to maintain her image as a proud goddess and didn't take the initiative to ask Zhang Yi for food.
Zhang Yi didn't continue to pay attention to Fang Yuqing but went to look at other chat groups, planning to watch the fun.
When he saw the owners' group of their community, he happened to see Aunt Lin from the neighborhood committee appealing to everyone not to panic and stay at home obediently.
"Everyone, don't worry. It's just a sudden drop in temperature. It will pass in at most two or three days."
"Don't rush to hoard supplies. Believe in our authorities."
"Our neighborhood committee will also help everyone find ways to get through this snow disaster. Please follow orders and commands and don't cause trouble for the authorities."
Some owners raised objections.
"With such heavy snow, we don't know when it will stop. It's troublesome for us to go out now. Can we do without stocking up on some supplies at home?"
"That's right. Otherwise, let's go out and buy some vegetables. I'm afraid the vegetable prices will skyrocket these days."
Aunt Lin immediately emphasized her tone.
"What are you doing? Aren't you causing trouble for us?"
"Hoarding supplies will only make prices go up, and then everyone will have to buy vegetables at high prices."
"If anyone dares to hoard supplies and I find out, don't blame me for reporting him to the higher authorities for disturbing people's minds!"
Seeing Aunt Lin, who was directing everyone like a leader in the group, Zhang Yi curled the corner of his mouth with a sneer.
Today was the first day of the Ice Age. Due to the extremely cold weather outside, in fact, the supplies in the supermarket hadn't been completely looted yet.
If one went out in the heavy snow at this time, although there was a risk of frostbite, there was definitely an opportunity to hoard some supplies.
However, due to Aunt Lin's intimidation, many people had a 侥幸心理 and didn't go out to buy vegetables.
The final result could be imagined.
Just at this time, Aunt Lin suddenly pointed the finger at Zhang Yi.
She @ Zhang Yi in the owners' group.
"Xiao Zhang, you stocked up on a lot of things at home before. Now that the snow disaster is serious, you can't be a bad example."
"Stay at home obediently these days. If I find you going out to buy things again, don't blame Aunt Lin for being unkind!"
Zhang Yi's face became a bit ugly.
This old hag. Last time, because she asked him for something and he didn't give it to her.
So she had held a grudge in her heart. This time, when she got the chance, she didn't forget to make sarcastic remarks.
However, unfortunately, what neighborhood committee auntie? Now she was nothing to Zhang Yi.
He sneered and replied, "Aunt Lin, no one knows how long this snow disaster will last. What if it lasts for a long time? When everyone has no food then, can you take the responsibility?"
Zhang Yi's question spoke the minds of many people.
Everyone was dissatisfied with Aunt Lin's words, but due to Aunt Lin's identity as a member of the neighborhood committee, they didn't dare to refute too much.
With Zhang Yi taking the lead, someone immediately stood up and asked.
"Yes, you don't let us hoard supplies. Whose fault will it be if we lack food and drink then?"
"Can you afford this responsibility?"
Aunt Lin was a bit flustered when she saw that everyone stood up to refute her.
At the same time, she hated Zhang Yi even more in her heart.
He actually openly refuted her in the owners' group. Wasn't this not giving her face?
"Don't worry. Our neighborhood committee can tell everyone very responsibly that there will be no shortage of supplies! The snow disaster will also pass quickly."
"And you, Zhang Yi. Don't stir up people's hearts at this time. What you're doing is illegal and against discipline!"
Aunt Lin, huddled at home, gritted her teeth and said viciously, "This Zhang Yi really doesn't know his place. I'll think of a way later and find an excuse to detain him for a few days in some dark place."
Zhang Yi burst out laughing.
At a time like this, the old woman surnamed Lin still wanted to act like before, relying on her little power to throw her weight around. It was really ridiculous.
"Oh my! I can't afford such a big hat."
"Don't worry. It's so cold outside. I won't go out even if you ask me to. Do as you like!"
He had already stocked up on all his supplies, so of course he didn't need to go out and fight with others to grab vegetables in the supermarket.
However, those who believed Aunt Lin's nonsense would be in a miserable situation later.
Zhang Yi felt a bit sad in his heart. When the end of the world came, he didn't know how many people would die of cold and hunger.
However, some people deserved to die, such as those neighbors who had killed him in his previous life.
Whether they lived or died, anyway, Zhang Yi had made up his mind that he would survive.
What did other people's life and death have to do with Zhang Yi?
