Reborn Before the Frozen Apocalypse, I Stock Resources Worth Billions-Chapter 23: The Tenth Day of Doomsday

Zhang Peng's sudden words instantly caused the entire chat group to explode.

Zhang Peng didn't live in the villa area either. Like Lin Sijia and Chen Rou'er, he lived in another area of the neighborhood. His family was quite rich, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would spend 10,000 yuan on a bag of instant noodles.

Ye Xingchen knew that Zhang Yi had used his name to get him to buy it.

After all, Zhang Yi had previously swindled so many supplies in the community. If he came out to speak now, he would probably be cursed by everyone.

And if it was Zhang Yi, then he did have the capital to buy a bag of instant noodles with 10,000 yuan.

Ye Xingchen rubbed his chin. Presumably, Zhang Yi also knew that the apocalypse had arrived.

"What is it? 10,000 yuan for a bag of instant noodles? Are you crazy?"

"Yeah, this... This is just a bag of instant noodles that usually costs three yuan…"

"Hey! We are all neighbors. There is no need to raise prices like this!"

Someone sent a trembling voice message to the group: "This... This snow disaster will pass, right? You guys are too scary. There's really no need."

"That's right, that's right. My monthly salary is only slightly more than 5,000 yuan. Your bag of instant noodles is equivalent to two months of my salary…"

"What are you doing? It's as if the end of the world is coming. Don't disturb people's hearts like this!"

Zhang Peng was also a little hesitant. He opened Zhang Yi's dialog box and asked his cousin again.

"That's right, Ah-Yi. Look at the group. They're right. You can't waste money like this. Ten thousand yuan for a bag of instant noodles."

Zhang Yi didn't reply. Instead, he transferred another 10,000 yuan to Zhang Peng.

Most people still had not given up hope on the government. Everyone felt that the heavy snow would not last long. Perhaps when they woke up tomorrow, the heavy snow would stop. When the sun rose, everyone would be able to return to their normal lives.

However, today, the action of this mom surnamed Li and Zhang Peng in the group to buy food at a high price ruthlessly touched the most fragile string in everyone's hearts.

Someone pretended to be calm. "Don't joke around. This is not how to make money from a national disaster. The pandemic was so severe before, but I've never seen anyone who dared to ask for so much."

"That's right, that's right. I say, this is too unkind. How could someone dare to sell a bag of instant noodles for 5,000 yuan? There's actually someone who dares to buy it for 10,000 yuan. Are they putting on a show for us?"

"Yeah, we're all neighbors here. How dare we earn money that goes against our conscience? Aren't we afraid of being scolded when the snow stops and the snow disaster passes?"

Ye Xingchen looked at the messages in the group and shook his head helplessly.

These people were really na?ve. At this point, they were still thinking of using public opinion to pressure people.

They did not know what kind of terrible disaster they were facing.

Someone started to scold Zhang Peng in the group. They scolded him for being a black-hearted young man. It was already ridiculous enough to pay 5,000 yuan for a bag of instant noodles, but this black-hearted Zhang Peng still wanted to raise the price.

Some people even formed cliques in the group and said that they would never buy such expensive food, saying that they would unite to resist this bad atmosphere.

Zhang Peng had already added the person who sold the supplies on WeChat and had even completed the transaction.

At this moment, he slowly replied to the group, "Why do you care so much about me? Anyway, I have money. I can buy as much as I want. I can pay as much as I want. Can't I spend my own money to buy peace of mind? Is it your turn to point fingers here? If you're not convinced, then don't buy it. Anyway, I'll say it here. If you still have anything to sell, come and chat with me privately. I'll take as many as you have! If you're not willing, then forget it!"

Zhang Peng's words in the group were very generous, but Ye Xingchen could see through the camera that the drone that came to pick up the expensive instant noodles was flying in the direction of Zhang Yi's villa.

Obviously, Ye Xingchen's guess was right. Zhang Peng was just helping Zhang Yi purchase.

It could be seen that Zhang Yi's seemingly outrageous spending was actually a decision he made after careful consideration. It seemed that Zhang Yi really knew that this was the beginning of the end of the world.

Otherwise, no matter how rich his family was, he would not have spent 10,000 yuan just to buy a bag of instant noodles.

Rich people might not be kind, but they were definitely not stupid.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Zhang Yi began to use Zhang Peng as a cover to purchase the remaining supplies in the hands of his neighbors at a high price.

However, the mom who asked first, Li Anran, who had asked in the group at the beginning, was now agitated. "You... How could you do this? Our family doesn't even have anything to eat. We're buying food to save lives! My child and I haven't eaten for two days!"

When Zhang Peng heard this, he had an indifferent expression. "I'm not snatching it from you. I'm just asking for a higher price. It's not up to me to decide who they want to sell their things to. I have money but nowhere to spend it, I'm just happy to overpay, what do you care?"

Li Anran originally wanted to pressure Zhang Peng morally, but she did not expect Zhang Peng to be so thick-skinned that he actually ignored her moral stance.

Zhang Peng ignored her. Li Anran had no choice but to cry in the group again. "Please help us. My daughter is only eight months old. I don't have anything to eat, so I don't have milk to feed her. If this continues, both of us will starve to death!"

But at this time, the owners were silent.

Human nature was selfish. Zhang Peng offered 10,000 yuan for a bag of instant noodles. Li Anran was clearly unwilling to pay this money, so she acted pitifully in the group.

In this group, other than the owners of the villa area who were relatively rich, the owners of the other residential buildings were only working with an ordinary salary of 5,000 to 6,000 a month.

At this time, who would be willing to give up so much money for a meager favor like you?

Many people had already privately traded with Zhang Peng. Ye Xingchen had already watched the drones return and forth on the surveillance screen, sending many supplies to Zhang Yi's house.

Li Anran also realized that after Zhang Peng offered this price, it was impossible for anyone to be so stupid as to be willing to sell her food at a lower price.

She had no choice but to continue crying in the group and ask for everyone's help.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen seemed to have suddenly remembered something. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

He suddenly remembered the memories of Li Anran from his previous life.

Ye Xingchen did not have a deep impression of Li Anran. He only remembered that this woman seemed to be quite beautiful. She was young and looked gentle and weak.

However, there was something very strange. Ye Xingchen remembered that before he died, he still heard the news about Li Anran. Until he died, Li Anran and her daughter seemed to be still alive and well.

Thinking of this, Ye Xingchen's eyes suddenly flashed.

Sure enough, one couldn't just look at the surface. It was obvious that this woman wasn't as simple as she looked. She might look weak and harmless on the surface, but in fact, she was evil inside.
