Reborn Before the Frozen Apocalypse, I Stock Resources Worth Billions

Chapter 19: Zhang Yi Is Here

"This is an official rule. If you don't abide by it and implicate us, how can we reason with you?"x

"Yes, yes! It's just a few bites. There's no need to go against the officials!"

The two groups of people were arguing on WeChat.

Ye Xingchen didn't say a word and just watched the show. However, at this time, that annoying Liu Qilong tagged Ye Xingchen in the group.

"Little Ye, I saw you buy a lot of cooked food a few days ago. You only have one mouth to eat, so there should be a lot left, right?"

When Zhang Yi heard Liu Qilong's words, he immediately became spirited.

He took out his phone and immediately opened Ye Xingchen's private chat.

"Is Xingchen here? I'm Zhang Yi from the same school as you."

Ye Xingchen laughed coldly, thinking that this kid had come quickly.

"I know that you have a lot of supplies stored at home. You're also in the group. I believe you should know what the official requirements are. I'm here to inform you in advance."

"Don't worry. After the snow disaster is over, the officials will definitely return the same amount of supplies. Everyone will remember your kindness."

Of course, Zhang Yi wouldn't let go of such a great opportunity. Liu Qilong had already mentioned in the group time and time again that Ye Xingchen had purchased a large amount of resources some time ago.

Zhang Yi had never thought that everyone would be so obedient and hand over all the supplies. What he thought was that as long as he could deceive one family, he could live a few more days.

As for the bottom line?

It was the end of the world. Who would care about your bottom line? If you could live one more day, it was one day. Who would care about the lives of others?

Ye Xingchen looked at Zhang Yi's message in amusement.

In his previous life, he had mistakenly believed Zhang Yi's words and believed the official word that the snow disaster would not last long. Thus, he had taken out half of the resources he had hoarded, thinking that he could do his neighbors a big favor.

But what was the result?

Not only did he not get the gratitude of his neighbors, but he was also known to have a lot of supplies in his house.

In the end, Zhang Yi led a group of people to break in. Not only did they rob him of all his resources, but they even dismembered him and ate him.

It could be said that his death in his previous life was caused by Zhang Yi!

The corners of his mouth curled up as he lazily sent a voice message.

"Ah, so it's classmate Zhang Yi."

"Unfortunately, I had already distributed the supplies before you came. When you collect the supplies, please give me some too!"

Zhang Yi cursed on the spot.

He had already asked Liu Qilong in private if anyone had seen Ye Xingchen transporting the supplies to his house!

His face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and was still unwilling to accept this.

He recognized Ye Xingchen as a big fish. Moreover, as a schoolmate, he knew that Ye Xingchen was easy to talk to.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and tried his best to be gentle. "Haha, don't joke around. You won't be able to use up all the supplies in those carts even if they expire. Besides, this snow disaster won't last long."

Ye Xingchen picked up a toothpick to pick his teeth. Some of the roasted whole lamb he had for lunch was stuck in his teeth.

"Why don't you give me a few packets of instant noodles? I know you've been appointed as a manager, so shouldn't you take the lead first and show the spirit of helping each other?"

Zhang Yi's face turned red from Ye Xingchen's provocation. He knew that Ye Xingchen definitely had supplies, and judging from his tone, he was deliberately provoking him!

Ye Xingchen couldn't be bothered with Zhang Yi anymore. He simply blocked him.

Zhang Yi was thinking about how to phrase his words. He sent a polite message to Ye Xingchen, but he suddenly realized that he had been blocked by Ye Xingchen. He was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.

Helpless, Zhang Yi calmed his mind. Time was tight now. Even if he knew that Ye Xingchen was a big fish, he could not waste too much time on him.

The most important thing now was to quickly find the next person who could swindle supplies.

He had to try his best to trick them into getting their supplies before they woke up!

...

In the next two days, Zhang Yi coaxed and deceived a lot of people, and he really managed to cheat a lot of supplies from several families.

However, not everyone was a fool.

Under such extreme weather, everyone put themselves and their families first.

It had been six days since the blizzard arrived.

A normal family would only store three to five days' worth of food.

In their neighborhood, because every household was considered to be a little rich, they had a little more resources at home.

However, due to the extremely low temperature, heating required fuel and food, so the consumption of supplies was faster than usual.

Slowly, all kinds of chat groups were filled with hostility.

At first, the owners who had been waiting for the rescue by the official organization at home had a change in their mentality because they had been lacking energy for heating and food for several days.

This was especially true for the families who had been tricked by Zhang Yi into giving away a lot of supplies. They began to question Zhang Yi in the group when they would distribute the supplies after they took them away.

"@West District 1st Street-Zhang Yi, Little Zhang, what happened to the distribution of the supplies after you took them away?"

"We've already finished eating. It's been two days. Can you give us some?"

"Yeah, what happened to the unified distribution? Didn't you say that everyone would have food?"

The owners began to shout in the group, including those who had not handed in their supplies before. They also hoped to take advantage of the chaos to get a share of the profits.

As for Zhang Yi, he seemed to have disappeared without a reply.

Of course, he could see this information, but he had never planned to distribute the resources he had painstakingly collected.

In the entire neighborhood, only Ye Xingchen and he knew what had happened.

The outside world had already fallen into a state of chaos. Only with resources could they survive. Otherwise, they could only wait for death here!

Zhang Yi closed the door tightly, hoping that the snow would be heavier so that even if those people knew what had happened, they would not be able to open their doors.

He held a pile of supplies and carefully counted them in the room. His heart was filled with joy.

On the other side, Liu Qilong also started to get anxious.

He was different from the others. He had an elderly mother at home.

He repeatedly sent messages to Zhang Yi, begging him to share some food with him. However, not only did Zhang Yi not reply to his messages, he even blocked him.

This time, even Liu Qilong realized what was going on.

He was filled with regret, hatred, and jealousy. He only hated himself for not seeing through Zhang Yi's lies earlier and hated himself for not thinking of Zhang Yi's move. Otherwise, he would not have to worry about food and drink at this moment.

He rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a good idea.
