At this time, those neighbors in Building 25 were holding the food given by Zhang Yi and huddled at home having dinner.
They haven't taken a bath for almost a month. Their bodies are itchy and uncomfortable. Some people even have ringworm.
But there is no way. They can't get so much hot water. Even if they can boil water with a thermos, they have to keep it for drinking. How dare they take a bath?
As long as they get sick after taking a bath, now they can only wait for death.
Jiang Lei and Li Chengbin are roommates. They were good brothers in college and also worked in the same company after graduation. Their relationship is extremely close.
That night, the two of them were in a good mood because Zhang Yi gave each of them a box of braised pork rice.
These two boxes of braised pork rice were taken from the supermarket shelves and had long been frozen solid.
But it didn't trouble them. They stuffed the braised pork rice under their down jackets and heated it for dozens of minutes. Then the rice could be bitten.
In the pitch-black room, the two of them were wrapped in thick blankets and quilts, only showing their heads.
Jiang Lei took out a piece of braised pork with difficulty using a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing for a long time, he finally tasted the flavor of braised pork.
He had a happy expression on his face. Being able to eat this at this time is like eating a top-notch feast!
"Fortunately, we followed Zhang Yi back then! Now we can even eat braised pork!" Jiang Lei said happily.
But beside him, Li Chengbin was silent and was gnawing on the food in his hand.
That's right, not eating but gnawing.
After all, the rice and meat are frozen together. He finds it troublesome to use a spoon and directly presses his face against it and gnaws.
Seeing that Li Chengbin didn't speak, Jiang Lei thought he hadn't heard, so he nudged him with his elbow.
"Hey, do you think what I said is right? We will follow Zhang Yi from now on."
"Didn't you see Zhou Ke'er? That person is still glamorous now. Her clothes are all famous brands, Canada Goose!"
"The most terrifying thing is that she seems to be able to take a bath!"
Jiang Lei's eyes were full of envy. His way of cleaning himself now is to rub the dirt on his body with his hands. One rub is a long strip.
But later he was reluctant to rub anymore because it could keep him warm if he left it.
Li Chengbin glanced at him and said in a muffled voice, "What's the use of envying others? You don't have that condition."
Jiang Lei sighed and said, "That's right. We don't have those parts that others have! Otherwise, I would definitely try no matter what."
He looked at his brother and grinned. "But before that, I will let you have a good time first."
Li Chengbin said angrily, "Get lost! With your appearance, I don't want it even if it's given to me for free!"
Jiang Lei argued, "Don't think it's dirty. At worst, I'll use my mouth."
"Shut up, shut up. The more you talk, the more disgusting it gets!"
The atmosphere between the two began to become a bit subtle.
After a moment of silence, Li Chengbin said in a deep voice, "Jiang Lei, do you think that Zhang Yi giving us food is actually taking us as cannon fodder? He doesn't want us to live at all."
Jiang Lei widened his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Li Chengbin told Jiang Lei what the neighbors said during the day.
Jiang Lei also fell into silence.
"What's the use of saying those useless things? What can we do?"
"At first, we didn't think about killing him and then robbing his house and food. But we can't beat him. We were almost killed by him."
"In this world, whoever has the stronger fist is the boss. If he can give us a bite to eat, we have to be obedient."
Li Chengbin remained silent.
At this moment, their mobile phones rang.
Li Chengbin took out his mobile phone from his arms. After looking at the message, his eyes immediately became serious.
In this seriousness, there was also a hint of inexplicable tension and excitement.
...
The next day, Zhang Yi left the community on his motorcycle as usual.
Since he was sneak attacked once yesterday, this time he took a big detour and went out in a different direction.
Today he didn't call Uncle You because he wanted to go to the military camp and dig out the buried weapons and equipment.
By the way, find some trees and cut them down for future use.
Last night, people like Li Jian and Chen Lingyu contacted him again.
It was nothing more than asking Zhang Yi how his consideration was going.
Zhang Yi just perfunctorily answered them and said that he still needed to think about it.
But he could clearly feel that some people's temperaments were starting to become impatient.
Zhang Yi didn't care about their attitudes. He only watched when these people would take action.
After all, it still takes some time for the people in the 29 buildings to form a united front and negotiate.
This time is enough for him to make full preparations.
After spending two and a half hours, according to his memory, Zhang Yi came to the place he came yesterday.
Under his feet was a large expanse of white snow. Except for the reference objects not far away, there was nothing around.
Zhang Yi took out the excavator from his different space and started digging down like last time.
After having experience, Zhang Yi's skill in operating the excavator became a lot more proficient.
After another busy period, after a long time, he dug to the houses below.
Zhang Yi didn't know if this was a weapons depot. But after digging to a house, even if he broke through the wall and made a hole, it would be more convenient than digging snow.
So he jumped down and searched carefully. Only then did he find that this place was not a weapons depot but a soldier's dormitory.
Although he found the wrong place, at least seeing a building meant that the weapons depot would not be too far from here.
However, when Zhang Yi entered the dormitory, he noticed a strange thing.
Logically speaking, with the heavy snowfall, almost all land transportation is unusable.
So if these soldiers stay here and the snow gets heavier, they won't be able to leave.
So there must be many corpses that can be found in the military camp.
But when he entered the dormitory, he found that the quilts inside were neatly folded and the bed sheets were smoothed. And he didn't find a single frozen soldier.
"How strange. Why is there no one?"
Zhang Yi couldn't figure it out. Where did the soldiers here go?
He went to check several other dormitories nearby. The scenes inside were the same.
"Could it be that they all left here?"
A thought arose in Zhang Yi's heart, and he felt that this was the most likely.
After the snow disaster came, those high-level officials must have obtained accurate information at the first time and knew that the end of the world was inevitable.
So they need to go to shelters. And these soldiers were transferred by them to be responsible for protecting their safety and transporting supplies.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi became clear-headed.
Combined with the empty warehouses in the warehouse area that he saw before.
The truth is that probably a small number of official high-level people had completed the transfer on the night when the snow disaster hit.
But ordinary people didn't get any news at all. ǒＭ
They are hiding somewhere at this time, waiting for the disaster to pass before coming out and continuing to rule the world.
A trace of vigilance rose in Zhang Yi's heart.
Because he knew that the disaster couldn't be overcome in a short time. And after a long time of baptism, everyone's heart will change.
At that time, there may be some armed forces emerging and becoming a huge threat.
But that time point won't come too soon because they still have at least some order maintained now.
