Reborn Before the Frozen Apocalypse, I Stock Resources Worth Billions

Chapter 24: Ye Xingchen the Spare

Li Anran's continuous crying finally played a role. Zhao Hao, the security guard of this community, finally couldn't help but speak in the group, saying that he wanted Li Anran to come to his security lounge to buy some food.

Li Anran thanked Zhao Hao for his kindness in the group chat. She kept saying that she would thank Zhao Hao properly after the snow disaster was over.

Ye Xingchen looked at the camera and realized that Zhang Yi's house was already filled with a lot of supplies.

"Indeed, money can make the world go round…"

Ye Xingchen sighed and then shook his head regretfully.

Unfortunately, this was probably the last time people could make a deal with money in the apocalypse.

Soon, people would realize that the instant noodles that cost 10,000 yuan a bag were the cheapest thing they could buy. As time passed, everyone's food reserves would run out, and many people would even die of cold and hunger. At that time, they would only regret not cherishing the food that could still be traded at this time.

However, Zhang Peng's action undoubtedly reminded many people.

When he used real money to successfully purchase these materials, people really realized that there was a shortage of materials to a certain extent.

After that, people tightened their grip on the remaining materials in their hands and were no longer willing to make any deals.

At the beginning of the snow disaster, there were still people who were willing to lend a helping hand to their neighbors.

However, as time passed, the owners who had generously given the supplies back then almost gritted their teeth in regret.

This was the tenth day of the cold wave.

At this moment, there were not many supplies left in Chen Rou'er and Chu Yao's apartment.

The two people who were originally picky and wanted to save face almost fell out over a packet of instant noodles.

The food reserves at home and the supplies sent by Zhang Peng had been used up.

According to the current situation, in another week, the two of them would starve to death here.

The two of them curled up on the sofa with blankets wrapped around them. Their faces were pale as they stared at a bag of compressed biscuits on the coffee table that had been unsealed and had been frozen hard.

Chu Yao glanced at the crushed biscuits, frowned, and turned to Chen Rou'er. "Rou'er, this is our last bag of compressed biscuits."

Chen Rou'er's face was filled with pain.

Before the apocalypse, she would never put such a crude, unpalatable, and cheap thing in her mouth.

But now, she didn't even dare to take another bite. She was afraid that if she finished it all at once, she would be hungry for the next meal. She would even pick up the dregs that fell to the ground and eat them.

Chu Yao continued, "There are still three packets of instant noodles, five pieces of chocolate, and one packet of your imported lollipops. Oh, there's also half a bottle of Lao Gan Ma in the kitchen. However, there are no noodles and rice left."

Chen Rou'er's eyes were already brimming with tears.

"That means we only have three bags of instant noodles left to fill our stomachs…"

Chu Yao stared at her. "Rou'er, do you think the snow will really stop? Do you think the snow won't stop at all and will continue to fall? Do you think we can hold on until the snow stops…"

Chen Rou'er was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head to look out the window.

Through the window that was already covered in layers of ice, Chen Rou'er looked at the snowy white world outside.

The world suddenly became terrifyingly quiet. There was no light outside, and it was impossible to tell day from night. It was a chaotic gray area, but one could still vaguely see snowflakes falling from the sky.

It was as if a huge hole had been opened in the sky, and snowflakes kept falling.

It had been snowing for ten days.

The second floor had already been flooded, and the residents on the lower floors had already disappeared from the group chat. With the low temperature until now, no one had the mood to care about their lives.

There had been no news from the officials since the last announcement.

Chen Rou'er's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. Endless despair forced her to suffocate.

She didn't know how long the snow would last, and she didn't know if it would stop like Chu Yao said.

Chen Rou'er closed her eyes in pain and asked in a low voice, "What should we do, Yaoyao? If this continues, even if we don't freeze to death, we'll starve to death sooner or later."

Chu Yao gritted her teeth. "Is there any food at Zhang Peng's place? I saw that he seemed to have bought a lot of supplies in the group."

Chen Rou'er shook her head, "I've asked him. He bought all those supplies for Zhang Yi. He didn't even get a single packet of instant noodles. The backpack he gave me last time was almost all his supplies. I even video-called him. He's so skinny that he's like a skeleton. He doesn't have any food left."

"Is there anyone else?" Chu Yao was indignant.

"Look, the two of us are so good-looking. There are so many men chasing after us. If we give them a little hope now, they should be willing to give us some food, right?"

Chen Rou'er looked at her as if she was looking at a fool, "Are you stupid? Now that supplies are so expensive, do you think those stingy people are willing to give them to us? You have to know that they weren't willing to pay much when they chased after us."

"Even if we say that we're willing to be with them now, I'm afraid they won't give us any supplies."

"Moreover, it's so cold now. Even if we delivered ourselves to them in exchange for food, do you think they still have the ability to do so?"

When Chen Rou'er said this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

Chu Yao did not know that Chen Rou'er had already tried this method in secret.

She had also thought of using her body in exchange for food.

However, as the campus belle of Jinghai University, she was used to seeing all kinds of rich second-generation heirs. She had high standards and demanded that the other party be at least 1.85 meters tall, that the other party's family was rich and powerful, and that the other party was handsome before she was willing to give herself to him.

In the end, she did not expect that even the bootlicker that she had looked down on in the past would say that the weather was too cold and that he did not want to do this for the time being.

At this moment, a man's figure suddenly appeared in Chu Yao's mind.

Ye Xingchen.

She quickly said to Chen Rou'er, "Oh right, he's also in our neighborhood. Did you forget that you have a heavyweight bootlicker?"

Of course, Chen Rou'er knew who Chu Yao was talking about.

She pursed her lips, her face filled with resistance.

"Don't forget how he teased me before. I will never lower myself to look for him unless he comes to apologize to me first."

Yes, Chen Rou'er was still defending her damn pride in front of Ye Xingchen.

Previously, she had clearly given Ye Xingchen several chances, but not only was Ye Xingchen's attitude cold, he even wanted to tease her.

However, given the current situation…

Chen Rou'er was obviously hesitant.
