Chapter 29: tenth day
The rich second generation Lin Hao's words directly caused the entire chat group to explode!
"What? 2000 dollars for a pack of instant noodles? I ... I didn't hear wrong, right?"
"Hey, you guys don't inflate prices like this! I'm a bit scared."
Some people trembled and said, "The snowstorm, it will definitely pass right? There's really no need for this."
He was sending a voice, but the trembling tone of his voice already showed the panic in his heart.
People have not completely given up hope, and every morning when they open their eyes, they long to see the snow stop, the sun rise, and return to normal life.
But the incident of the treasure mom Xie Limei and the rich second-generation Chen Hao buying food at high prices has deeply touched the already fragile string in their hearts.
Some people pretended to be calm and said: "Do not joke, a packet of instant noodles 2000 dollars? Really think the world is ending, hahaha!"
"It's just that it's snowing a little bit more, this year's winter has come early! It's not a zombie siege, why bother?"
When Zhang Yi saw this message, he laughed lightly and shook his head.
A zombie siege?
Don't compare that kind of low-end thing with this Ice Armageddon.
Although the zombies were terrifying, they were still something that manpower could fight against.
However, in the face of nature's natural disasters, tiny humans were as fragile as bugs in front of the power of the universe.
They didn't yet know what kind of terrible disaster they were facing.
Xu Hao said arrogantly in the group, "Don't you guys care so much! I'm just rich anyway, so can I spend money to buy peace of mind? If you guys are willing to sell, private message me, if you're not, just pull back!"
Xu Hao pretended to be indifferent.
But Zhang Yi could already tell that his indifference was all a disguise, and in reality, he had already started to get scared.
Otherwise, it was impossible for him to offer a sky-high price of 2,000 dollars for a pack of instant noodles!
This matter was not difficult to think about.
Although Xu Hao was very rich and was worth several hundred million dollars.
But at the present moment of the doomsday, he couldn't even order a takeaway, not to mention enjoying a rich man's life in style.
Rich people might not be kind, but they were definitely not stupid.
Realizing the seriousness of the crisis, Xu Hao began to buy supplies from his neighbors at a high price.
The precious mom Xie Limei said excitedly, "How can you ... you do this? Our family has not a bite to eat, buying food is life-saving."
Xu Hao said patronizingly, "I didn't rob with you, only that I offered a higher price, and it's everyone's freedom who they are willing to sell to. What do you care?"
Seeing that Xu Hao didn't give a damn about her, Xie Limei cried inside the group, "Please help us, my daughter is only nine months old. If I don't have food, I don't have milk for her. Both of us are going to starve to death!"
Inside the owners' group, there was silence on Xie Limei's words.
At this time, the selfish side of human nature was on full display.
Xu Hao had offered 2,000 dollars for a packet of instant noodles!
The price that you, Xie Limei, gave was only half of that.
You know, Tianhai City's per capita salary level is only 5000 dollars.
Who would be willing to sell their hard-earned supplies to you for cheap?
Quite a few people had already approached Xu Hao privately to chat, and then began to talk about a deal.
As if realizing what was happening, Xie Limei continued to cry inside the group, asking everyone to help her.
But still, not a single person opened their mouths, not even a single person who comforted her.
After all, if you open your mouth, Xie Limei may feel that you are soft-hearted, and then die biting on you!
This helpless baby momma cried out in pain with urgency.
With an eight-month-old child, she was now struggling to take care of herself, not to mention having a baby with no autonomy at all.
Inside Zhang Yi's mind, memories of Xie Limei from his previous life surfaced.
He did not have a deep impression of Xie Limei because this woman had always presented herself as a weak baby mama.
Relying on this to gain sympathy, she had survived in exchange for supplies.
However, there was one thing that was bizarre.
In Zhang Yi's memory, she and her daughter knew that they were all alive and well afterwards.
When he thought of this, Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with a flash of brilliance.
This woman, definitely not as simple as it looks, everything pink, cut is black.
When he died, the probability was that she had a share in it.
Zhang Yi understood that among the end of the world, the mother of God's heart was the biggest factor in death.
Therefore, he did not make a sound and chose to look at Xie Limei with cold eyes.
There were too many people who died in the end of the world, and he only wanted to take care of himself, as for the others, if they died, they died.
However, Xie Limei's crying finally played some role.
Uncle You, the security guard, softens his heart and finally agrees to give her some food.
Xie Limei thanks Uncle You profusely and claims that she will never forget his kindness.
Through the surveillance, Zhang Yi finds out that Xu Hao relies on his money power and eventually buys supplies from many of his neighbors.
The amount wasn't too much, but it was enough for him and his girlfriend to survive for a few weeks.
Zhang Yi snorted, "This is the last remaining heat that money can exert in the middle of the apocalypse."
It probably wouldn't take long for people to realize that money had become waste paper as supplies ran out, and that supplies were the absolute king!
At that time, there was no telling how many people would repent their behavior of selling supplies.
It had to be said that Xu Hao had indeed made a bad start inside the owners' group.
Moreover, since many of the owners of the 25 unit buildings in the entire neighborhood were friends and colleagues.
Xu Hao's heavy purchase of supplies affected everyone around him.
After he set a high price for the supplies with real money, everyone realized how scarce the supplies were now!
Everyone held the supplies in their hands even more nervously.
At the beginning of the snowstorm, there were still some people who would kindly share and swap some supplies with their neighbors.
But now, they became even more stingy than Gramps.
Even when they met their best friends to borrow food, they would use all sorts of excuses to refuse.
The tenth day of the cold apocalypse was upon them.
At this time, Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining's home.
The supplies had been almost consumed.
The two people who originally had tricky tastes and liked to eat high-grade food were able to argue over a packet of instant noodles at this point.
There was not much left of the food that they had purchased earlier, as well as the food that Zhou Peng had sent to their home.
According to the current situation, at most another week, they will starve to death!
The two people sat on the sofa wrapped in blankets, their faces green and white, and on the coffee table in front of them was an unsealed pack of compressed cookies.
Lin Caining glanced at the compressed cookies, then said to Fang Yuqing, "Yuqing, this is our last pack of compressed cookies."
Fang Yuqing's eyes were filled with pain.
In the past, this kind of coarse food, beating her to death, she wouldn't have allowed them to enter her delicate throat.
But now, every time, she was able to eat them cleanly, not even being able to throw away the crumbs that fell to the ground, making sure to pick them up and eat them.
