Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 43: She's Panicking

Chapter 43: She's Panicking

After Chen Zhenghao killed the resident of 301, the atmosphere in the entire building beca extrely tense.

The group chat had fallen silent; no one dared to speak anymore.

Chen Zhenghao seed to realize that everyone had secretly ford a new resident group without him.

But such things couldn’t be stopped.

All he could do was threaten and coax the residents in the group.

"The situation is tough now; everyone is just trying to survive. No one wants to kill."

"If that kid in 301 hadn’t attacked my n first, I wouldn’t have killed him by mistake. I’m not a devil!"

"I hope we can get along peacefully from now on. If we need so food, please lend us so."

"If you cooperate, I guarantee we can all live peacefully."

Hearing this, so people indeed let down their guard.

So even believed that perhaps the resident of 301 died because he made the first move, as Chen Zhenghao said.

This type of behavior is known as Stockholm Syndro, where victims start to empathize with their abuser when shown any kindness.

Zhang Yi continued to watch from the sidelines, neither comnting nor participating.

However, he beca more cautious of Chen Zhenghao.

Although his ho was well-fortified and Chen Zhenghao and his few n with a single gun had no chance of breaking in, being extra cautious in an apocalypse was never wrong.

"If he really causes trouble, I’ll find an opportunity to kill him," Zhang Yi said calmly.

This brief peace was shattered the next day.

Despite fearing Chen Zhenghao, residents had to go downstairs to break ice for water to survive.

So, soone quietly opened their door, intending to sneak down and dig for snow, but they were caught by Chen Zhenghao’s n, who were on the lookout.

The hungry thugs had already consud the supplies they had looted on the first day.

Now, they were seeing all the residents as their prey, ready to rob anyone they caught.

The new group chat was filled with urgent cries for help.

When Zhang Yi opened the chat, he was amused.

The one crying for help was Liu Tiantian, who lived on the seventh floor, right above Chen Zhenghao.

That morning, she had tried to sneak downstairs to dig for snow under the cover of darkness but was caught.

Living alone, she was an easy target for Chen Zhenghao's n, who were also desperate and frustrated after being cooped up for almost half a month. They were eager to find a woman to relieve their frustrations.

Liu Tiantian wasn’t particularly beautiful, but she was young and had a decent figure.

Given the limited choices, they weren’t picky.

So, Chen Zhenghao's n, ard with wrenches and iron rods, ca laughing.

Liu Tiantian quickly shut her door and, in desperation, turned to her neighbors for help.

"Sob, soone, please save ! They’re breaking down my door. I’ll be killed!"

"@Uncle You, Uncle You, please save ! Didn’t you serve in the army? They can’t beat you."

"They’re brutal. We need to unite!"

"If sothing happens to , you could be next!"

Liu Tiantian, crying, sent voice ssage after voice ssage to the group.

But she wasn’t so arrogant when she was berating the male residents in the group chat yesterday.

Uncle You replied, "Miss, this is too sudden. I can’t take on so many of them alone!"

Uncle You, though kind, wasn’t going to throw his life away.

Chen Zhenghao had five or six n and a gun, which even an ex-soldier like him couldn’t handle alone.

If they had ford a security team yesterday, there might have been hope to scare them off.

Liu Tiantian felt a cold chill at Uncle You's words.

She cried, "You can’t do this! Can’t you protect a single woman? What kind of n are you?"

"Sob, if I die, I’ll haunt you!"

So had initially sympathized with her, but her shaless moral coercion sparked anger.

Combined with the insults she hurled at the male residents yesterday, old and new grudges combined.

"Yeah, we’re all useless. Little princess, you’re so amazing. You don’t need our help!"

"Haha, go and fight them off with your punches!"

"Weren’t you shouting yesterday? Turns out you still need us."

"You might as well die. Your death would bring happiness to many families!"

The group chat was filled with laughter.

There was no sympathy for Liu Tiantian’s plight, only a sense of schadenfreude.

With her ho being robbed, at least the others felt safe for now.

Liu Tiantian, seeing these cold responses, fell into despair.

She turned to the female residents for help.

But their replies were equally unhelpful.

"We’re all sisters, but we can’t do anything in this situation."

"Hang in there! We support you spiritually."

"You have to hold on, or they might do sothing terrible to you if they break in!"

"Yeah, with so many of them, they might really hurt you."

So offered perfunctory comfort, while others cruelly scared her.

After all, human emotions didn’t connect universally. Long periods of confinent and the threat of death had twisted many minds.

More people joined the chat, but the topic had shifted.

"At least take one of them down with you before you die, as a service to the community!"

"Yeah, if your ho is raided, you won’t survive anyway. Might as well take one down with you."

Liu Tiantian, trembling with rage, tried to respond when her door was kicked open with a bang.

In Zhang Yi's ho, he watched the surveillance feed as Liu Tiantian scread and was dragged out by her legs by Chen Zhenghao's thugs.

"Exercising in this freezing weather? These guys have so serious stamina!" Zhang Yi comnted.

It made sense, though. In dire tis, when people did not know when they might die, biological instincts to reproduce kicked in.

Zhang Yi took a bite of his chocolate bar and said to the surveillance screen, "At this temperature, exposing any skin is life-threatening."
