The words of the second-generation rich Lin Hao directly made the entire chat group explode!
"What? A pack of instant noodles is 2,000 yuan? I...did I hear it right?"
"Hey, don't drive up prices like this! I'm a little scared."
Some people trembled and said, "The snowstorm will definitely pass, right? There's really no need to be like this."
He sent a voice message, but the trembling tone already showed his inner panic.
People did not completely give up hope. Every morning when they opened their eyes, they were eager to see the heavy snow stop, the sun rise, and return to normal life.
But the incident of Bao Ma Xie Limei and the second-generation rich Chen Hao buying food at a high price deeply touched the fragile string in their hearts.
Someone pretended to be calm and said, "Don't be ridiculous. A pack of instant noodles costs 2,000 yuan? Do you really think the world is coming to an end? Hahaha!"
"It's just that the snow is a little heavier. Winter has come early this year! It's not a zombie siege, so why bother!"
Zhang Yi saw this message and shook his head with a chuckle.
Zombie siege?
Don't compare such low-end things with this ice apocalypse.
Zombies are scary, but they are still within the reach of human power.
However, facing the natural disasters of nature, tiny humans are as fragile as bugs in front of the power of the universe.
They don't even 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. Can I buy peace of mind with money? If you are willing to sell it, send me a private message. If you don't want to, forget it!"
Xu Hao pretended to be indifferent.
But Zhang Yi had already seen that his indifference was all a disguise. In fact, he had already started to be afraid.
Otherwise, he couldn't have offered a sky-high price of 2,000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles!
This is not difficult to think about.
Although Xu Hao is very rich, with a net worth of several hundred million yuan.
But at the moment of the end of the world, let alone enjoying the life of the rich, he couldn'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 buy supplies from his neighbors at a high price.
Bao's mother Xie Limei said excitedly: "You...how can you do this? We have no food in our family, and buying food is life-saving."
Xu Hao said very frankly: "I didn't compete with you, but I offered a higher price. It's their freedom to sell to whom they want. What do you care?"
Seeing that Xu Hao ignored her, Xie Limei cried in the group: "Please help us, my daughter is only nine months old. I have no food, so I have no milk for her. We are both starving to death!"
In the owner group, Xie Limei's words remained silent.
At this time, the selfish side of human nature was fully displayed.
Xu Hao offered 2,000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles!
The price you, Xie Limei, offered was only half of his.
You know, the average wage level in Tianhai City is only 5,000 yuan.
Who would be willing to sell you the materials they have worked hard to save at a low price?
Many people have already chatted with Xu Hao in private and started to talk about the deal.
Xie Limei seemed to realize what 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 may think you are soft-hearted and bite you hard!
This helpless mother cried out in anxiety.
She is carrying an eight-month-old child, and now it is difficult to take care of herself, not to mention a baby who has no autonomy at all.
Zhang Yi's mind emerged with the memory of Xie Limei in his previous life.
He didn't have a deep impression of Xie Limei, because this woman always presented herself as a weak mother.
She relied on this to gain sympathy and survive in exchange for supplies.
However, one thing was very strange.
In Zhang Yi's memory, she and her daughter lived well later.
Thinking of this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.
This woman was definitely not as simple as she looked. Everything pink was black when cut open.
After he died, she probably got a share of the pie.
Zhang Yi understood that the heart of a saint was the biggest factor leading to death in the end times.
So, he didn't say anything and chose to watch Xie Limei coldly.
There were too many people who died in the end times. He just wanted to take care of himself. As for others, they would die if they died.
However, Xie Limei's crying finally played a role.
The security guard Uncle You softened his heart and finally agreed to give her some food.
Xie Limei thanked Uncle You profusely and claimed that she would never forget his kindness in her life.
Through surveillance, Zhang Yi discovered that Xu Hao relied on his money ability to buy supplies from many neighbors.
The quantity was not too much, 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 doomsday."
It will probably not take long before people will find that money has become waste paper as supplies are exhausted, and supplies are the absolute king!
At that time, I don't know how many people will regret their behavior of selling supplies.
It has to be said that Xu Hao did set a bad example in the owner group.
Moreover, since many owners of the 25 unit buildings in the entire community are friends and colleagues.
Xu Hao's heavy purchase of supplies affected everyone around him.
When he set a high price for the supplies with real money, everyone realized how scarce the supplies are now!
Everyone held 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 more stingy than Grandet.
Even if they were asked by their best friends to borrow food, they would refuse with all kinds of excuses.
The Ice Doomsday is coming, the tenth day.
At this time, Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining's home.
The supplies have been almost consumed.
The two people who used to have a picky taste and liked to eat high-end food can quarrel over a pack of instant noodles.
The food bought by the family before, and the food sent by Zhou Peng, the licking dog, are almost gone.
According to the current situation, they will starve to death if they can only support it for another week at most!
The two people sat on the sofa wrapped in quilts, their faces were pale, and a pack of unpacked compressed biscuits was placed on the coffee table in front of them.
Lin Caining took a look 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 would never allow such coarse food to enter her delicate throat.
But now, every time she can eat it cleanly, she is reluctant to throw away even the crumbs that fall on the ground, and must pick it up and eat it.
