Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 140: Three Conditions

Chapter 140: Three Conditions

Xu Hao's revelation gave Zhang Yi a glimpse into the lives of the elite. But that wasn't important now.

After listening to Xu Hao’s story, Zhang Yi looked at him calmly and asked, "So, tell your plan. If I agree to cooperate, how exactly will you help ?"

Xu Hao, sensing that he had piqued Zhang Yi’s interest, beca more animated.

"I still have contact with Wang Siming. When I told him about you, he beca very interested in your supplies and your snowmobile," Xu Hao explained.

"So, we can stage a play. Pretend that I've lured you there, and once Wang Siming opens the door, you can use your skills to take him down in no ti."

Zhang Yi thought for a mont, then looked at Xu Hao and asked, "If Wang Siming’s shelter is worth $1 billion, would he really need my supplies?"

Having watched sci-fi movies, Zhang Yi knew that such large-scale shelters usually had enough supplies to last for years. It seed unlikely that Wang Siming would be in need of more after just one month.

Xu Hao scratched his head, showing a wry smile. "Well... the shelter was built over ten years ago."

"When Wang Siming first built it, it was more of a whim. After his initial interest waned, he didn’t take it seriously anymore and used it more like an ordinary villa."

"The supplies stored there were eventually discarded as trash, and the space was converted into entertainnt rooms and sports areas."

Listening silently, Zhang Yi’s mind began constructing a ntal blueprint of the super shelter.

"What about weapons and defenses? A shelter of that caliber must have so serious security asures, right?" Zhang Yi asked, his concern evident.

Xu Hao suddenly fell silent.

He then said, "Unless you agree to work with and ensure my survival, I can't tell you that information."

Xu Hao was not foolish. If he disclosed everything, he would lose all his leverage.

Zhang Yi sneered, shaking his handgun. "If you won’t tell , why should I keep you alive?"

Xu Hao swallowed hard. "Even if you kill , I won’t tell you. This information is my only hope for survival!"

"I know you plan to kill us all eventually, right?"

Zhang Yi’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light. Xu Hao was spot-on. Zhang Yi did intend to eliminate most of his neighbors once the other building threats were neutralized. Keeping the residents of his building around was a temporary asure to deal with external threats.

"You seem quite smart. How did you figure it out?" Zhang Yi asked with a chilling smile.

Xu Hao, biting his lip, said, "Because you’re not a kind person. You’ve kept us around only to deal with the other buildings' threats. Now that most of those threats are gone, you have no reason to keep us."

Zhang Yi lowered his gun. Xu Hao was right; he was indeed clever.

"So, instead of waiting to die, I'm gambling on a chance to live by trading my information," Xu Hao added.

Zhang Yi squinted, weighing the pros and cons. According to Xu Hao, the $1 billion super shelter was far superior to his current safe house. If Zhang Yi could take it over, his quality of life would significantly improve.

But there were risks:

Zhang Yi didn’t trust Xu Hao. Regardless of his convincing story, Zhang Yi couldn’t fully believe soone with whom he had a poor relationship. Establishing mutual trust was crucial.

Even if everything Xu Hao said was true, the operation’s risks were unknown. Zhang Yi’s current safe house was secure and had helped him fend off nurous attackers. Wang Siming's shelter, which could withstand H-bombs, was hundreds of tis more secure. Zhang Yi’s existing weapons might not be enough to breach it.

After a long silence, Zhang Yi made his decision.

He looked at Xu Hao coldly and said, "I’ll let you work with , but there are conditions you must follow."

Xu Hao, tense and anxious, suddenly relaxed, his face lighting up with joy. He had gambled and won.

"Of course! Whatever you say!" Xu Hao responded eagerly.

Zhang Yi began, "First, you must give a detailed explanation of the shelter’s layout, especially its security systems and firepower."

Xu Hao nodded quickly. "That’s no problem. After the shelter was built, Wang Siming showed it off to many people. I was one of the visitors."

Zhang Yi continued, "Second, I need you to kill soone for ."

Xu Hao was puzzled. "Who do you want dead that you can’t kill yourself?"

Zhang Yi smiled. "Soone inconvenient for to deal with directly. Just wait for my instructions."

Xu Hao didn’t hesitate. Killing one person was a small price to pay for his survival.

"Alright, what's the third condition?" Xu Hao asked, swallowing nervously as he noticed Zhang Yi’s smile turning sinister.

Zhang Yi said, "Co with . I need to get sothing for you."

Not knowing what to expect, Xu Hao obediently followed Zhang Yi to the 24th floor. Zhang Yi left him at the stairwell. "Wait here. I’ll be right back."

With that, Zhang Yi entered his apartnt, leaving Xu Hao standing anxiously by the stairs.
