Chapter 29 Day
The words of Lin Hao, the second generation rich man, caused the entire chat group to explode!
"What? 2000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles? I...did I hear it correctly?"
"Hey, don't raise prices like this! I'm a little scared."
Some people said tremblingly: "The snow disaster will definitely pass, right? There is really no need to be like this."
What he sent was a voice message, but his trembling tone already showed his inner panic.
People have not completely given up hope. When they open their eyes every morning, they are eager to see the snow stop, the sun rise, and return to normal life.
However, the incident of mother Xie Limei and rich second generation Chen Hao purchasing food at high prices deeply touched the already fragile string in their hearts.
Someone pretended to be calm and said: "Stop joking, a pack of instant noodles costs 2000 yuan? I really thought it was the end of the world, hahaha!"
"It's just that the snow is a little heavier. Winter has arrived early this year! It's not a zombie siege, that's all!"
When Zhang Yi saw this news, he chuckled and shook his head.
Dead Rising?
Don't compare that low-end thing to this ice apocalypse.
Although zombies are scary, they can still be defeated by human beings.
However, in the face of natural disasters, tiny humans are as fragile as insects before the power of the universe.
They still don't know what kind of terrible disaster they are facing.
Xu Hao said arrogantly in the group: "Don't worry about it! Anyway, I have money, so can I spend money to buy peace of mind? If you are willing to sell, just message me privately, and if you don't want to, just sell it!"
Xu Hao pretended not to care.
But Zhang Yi had already seen that his indifference was just a disguise. In fact, he had already begun to be afraid.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to offer the sky-high price of 2000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles!
This matter is not difficult to think about.
Although Xu Hao is very rich, with a net worth of several hundred million.
But at the end of the world, he can no longer enjoy the life of a rich man, and he can't even order a takeaway.
Rich people may not be kind, but they are definitely not stupid.
Realizing the seriousness of the crisis, Xu Hao began to purchase supplies from his neighbors at high prices.
Mother Xie Limei said excitedly: "You... how could you do this? Our family has nothing to eat. Buying food is life-saving."
Xu Hao said very bachelorly: "I'm not robbing you, I'm just offering a higher price. It's up to everyone who they want to sell to. Can you control it?"
When Xie Limei saw that Xu Hao was ignoring her, she cried in the group: "Please help us, my daughter is only nine months old. I have nothing to eat, so I have no milk for her. Both of us will starve to death." !”
The group of owners remained silent in response to Xie Limei's words.
At this time, the selfish side of human nature is fully displayed.
Xu Hao is asking for 2000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles!
The price you Xie Lihua gave is only half of others.
You know, the per capita salary in Tianhai City is only 5000 yuan.
Who is willing to sell you the materials they have worked so hard to save at a cheap price?
Many people had already chatted with Xu Hao privately, and then started talking about transactions.
Xie Limei seemed to realize what had happened and continued to cry in the group, asking everyone to help her.
But still no one spoke, not even one to comfort her.
After all, if you open your mouth, Xie Limei might think you are soft-hearted and bite you hard!
This helpless mother burst into tears.
She has an eight-month-old child, and it's hard for her to take care of herself now, let alone a baby who has no ability to act independently.
In Zhang Yi's mind, memories of Xie Limei from his previous life emerged.
He didn't have a deep impression of Xie Limei, because this woman had always presented herself as a weak mother.
Relying on this to win sympathy and exchange for supplies, they survived.
However, one thing is very strange.
In Zhang Yi's memory, she and her daughter lived well afterward.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.
This woman is definitely not as simple as she looks. Everything that is pink turns out to be black when cut open.
When she died, she would most likely get a share of the pie.
Zhang Yi understands that the Virgin's heart is the biggest cause of death in the last days.
Therefore, he said nothing and chose to look on coldly at Xie Limei.
Too many people died in the apocalypse. He just wanted to take care of himself. As for other people, they would die as well.
However, Xie Limei's crying finally had some effect.
The security guard, Uncle You, relented and finally agreed to give her some food.
Xie Limei thanked Uncle You profusely and claimed that she would never forget his kindness throughout her life.
Through surveillance, Zhang Yi discovered that Xu Hao relied on his money-making ability to finally buy supplies from many neighbors.
It wasn't a lot, but it was enough for him and his girlfriend to survive for a few weeks.
Zhang Yi sneered: "This is the last remaining heat that money can play in the apocalypse."
It probably won't take long for people to find that money has become waste paper as materials are exhausted, and materials are the absolute king!
By then, I don’t know how many people will regret their behavior of selling supplies.
It has to be said that Xu Hao did make a bad start among the owners.
Moreover, many of the owners of the 25 unit buildings in the entire community are friends and colleagues.
Xu Hao spent a lot of money to buy supplies, which affected everyone around him.
When he used real money and silver to set a high price for the supplies, everyone realized how scarce the supplies were now!
Everyone tightened their grip on the supplies in their hands more nervously.
At the beginning of the snowstorm, some people would share and exchange some supplies with their neighbors in a friendly manner.
But now, they have become even stingier than Grandet.
Even if they meet their best friends and ask to borrow food, they will use various excuses to refuse.
The ice apocalypse comes on the tenth day.
At this time, Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining's home.
The supplies have been almost exhausted.
The two people who used to have a tricky taste and like to eat high-end food can now quarrel over a pack of instant noodles.
There was not much food left at home that had been bought and delivered by Zhou Peng, the licking dog.
If the current situation continues, they will starve to death for another week at most!
The two of them were sitting on the sofa wrapped in quilts, their faces pale, and there was an unpacked pack of compressed biscuits on the coffee table in front of them.
Lin Caining glanced at the compressed biscuits, and then said to Fang Yuqing: "Yuqing, this is our last pack of compressed biscuits."
Fang Yuqing's eyes were full of pain.
In the past, she wouldn't have allowed such coarse food to enter her delicate throat even if she was killed.
But now, she can eat it clean every time, and she is reluctant to throw away the dregs that fall on the ground. She must pick them up and eat them.
