The words of Lin Hao, a rich second generation, directly caused a frenzy in the entire chat group!
"What? A packet of instant noodles costs 2000 yuan? I... Did I hear you right?"
Hey, don't raise prices like this! I'm a little scared
Some people said with trembling voice, "The snow disaster will surely 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 have not completely given up hope. Every morning when they open their eyes, they long to see the snow stop, the sun rise, and return to normal life
However, the incident of Bao Ma Xie Limei and the wealthy second-generation Chen Hao buying food at a high price deeply touched the fragile string in their hearts
Someone said with a calm demeanor, "Don't joke around, a pack of instant noodles costs 2000 yuan? Do you really think it's the end of the world, haha!"
"It's just that the snow is a little heavier. This winter has come early! It's not like a zombie apocalypse, so what's the big deal?"
Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head when he saw this news
Zombie siege?
Don't compare this ice apocalypse with that low-end thing
Although zombies are terrifying, they can still be fought by human power
However, in the face of natural disasters, small humans are as fragile as insects in the face of the power of the universe
They didn't know what kind of terrible disaster they were facing
Xu Hao said arrogantly in the group, "Don't worry about it! I have money anyway. Can you buy peace of mind for me? If you are willing to sell, send me a private message. If not, it's fine!"
Xu Hao pretends to be indifferent
But Zhang Yi has already seen that his indifference is just a disguise. In fact, he has already started to feel afraid
Otherwise, he could not have charged a hefty price of 2000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles!
It's not hard to think about this matter
Although Xu Hao is very rich, with several hundred million yuan
But in the end of the day, he can't even order a take-out, let alone enjoy the life of the rich
Rich people are not necessarily kind, but they are definitely not stupid
Realizing the seriousness of the crisis, Xu Hao began to buy the supplies from his neighbors at high prices
Xie Limei, the mother of the baby, said excitedly, "You... how could you do this? Our family has no food left, and buying food is a lifesaving measure
Xu Hao said, "I'm not trying to compete with you. I just have a higher asking price. It's up to everyone who wants to sell it to whom they want to sell it to. What do you care?"
Seeing that Xu Hao didn't pay attention to her, Xie Limei cried in the group, "Please help us, everyone. My daughter is only nine months old. If I don't have food, I won't have milk for her. We'll both starve to death!"
In the owner group, they kept silent about Xie Limei's words
At this time, the selfish side of human nature is fully displayed
Xu Hao charges 2000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles!
The price you offered is only half of what others charge
You know, the per capita wage level in Tianhai City is only 5,000 yuan
Who would be willing to sell you their hard-earned goods at a discounted price?
Many people have already chatted with Xu Hao privately and started talking about the deal
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 a person to comfort her
After all, if you open your mouth, Xie Limei may think that you are soft-hearted and bite you hard!
This helpless mother, in a state of anxiety, cried out in pain
She is caring for an eight-month-old child, and already struggling to take care of herself, let alone a baby who lacks any independent abilities
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 always presented herself as a weak and vulnerable mother
He relied on this to gain sympathy and exchange for supplies to survive
However, there is one thing that is very strange
In Zhang Yi's memory, she and her daughter knew that they were alive and well later
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with a glint of brilliance
This woman is definitely not as simple as she looks. Everything pink is black when cut open
After her own death, she probably also got a share of the pie
Zhang Yi understands that in the end times, the heart of the Virgin Mary is the biggest factor that can lead to death
So, he didn't say anything and chose to watch Xie Limei coldly
There are too many people dying in the end of the world, he just wants to take care of himself, as for others, they are dead and gone
However, Xie Limei's cry finally played some role
Uncle You, the security guard, was soft-hearted and finally agreed to give her some food
Xie Limei thanked Uncle You profusely, claiming that she would never forget his kindness for the rest of her life
Zhang Yi found through monitoring that Xu Hao finally bought supplies from many neighbors by relying on his ability to pay
The quantity is not too much, but it is enough for him and his girlfriend to survive for a few weeks
Zhang Yi scoffed, "This is the last remaining heat that money can exert in the end of the world."
It won't be long before people will find that money has become worthless paper and that materials are the absolute king!
At that time, I don't know how many people will regret selling their goods
I have to say that Xu Hao did set a bad example in the owner group
Moreover, due to the fact that many owners of the 25 unit buildings in the entire community are friends and colleagues
Xu Hao's heavy purchase of supplies has affected everyone around him
When he set a high price for the goods with real money, everyone realized how scarce the goods were now!
Everyone is more nervous and grips the supplies tightly
At the beginning of the snow disaster, some people will share and exchange some materials with their neighbors in a friendly way
But now, they have become even more miserly than Grandet
Even if they encounter their best friends asking for food, they will use various excuses to refuse
The tenth day of the coming of the ice age
At this time, Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining's home
The materials have been consumed almost completely
Two people who used to have a refined taste and like to eat high-end food can quarrel over a packet of instant noodles
There is little food left in the house, both from previous purchases and from the licking dog Zhou Peng
If things continue as they are, they will starve to death in a week at most!
Two people sat on the sofa wrapped in quilts, their faces pale and blue, with a packet of unsealed compressed biscuits on the coffee table in front of them
Lin Caining glanced at the packet of compressed biscuits and said to the other party, "Yuqing, this is our last packet of compressed biscuits."
Fang Yuqing's eyes were filled with pain
In the past, she would never allow such rough food to enter her delicate throat
But now, every time she can eat it cleanly, even the slag that falls on the ground is reluctant to throw it away, and she must pick it up and eat it.
