After learning what had happened, Qin Bai looked at Jiang Haochang with pity; this kid was also a tragic figure.
His own father died, and his uncles and aunts fought for power, leaving him here unattended.
Qin Bai even suspected that if it weren't for the snow disaster, they would have sent assassins to eliminate Jiang Haochang directly.
He couldn't help but sigh that Jiang Haochang was really unlucky, since his own father happened to be on a plane on the day the apocalypse came.
If it had been a day earlier, he would have been fine.
If his biological father is alright, Jiang Haochang will probably be picked up by helicopter and continue living his life as a super-rich second-generation heir.
Qin Bai believed that those top-tier wealthy individuals must all have a special shelter for dealing with war, where large quantities of food were stored.
While others are starving to death, these ultra-wealthy individuals are not worried at all; they can easily survive inside for a long time with a group of people.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Jiang Haochang's biological father died, and his uncles were fighting over the assets left by his father. Just then, a snowstorm hit, preventing Jiang Haochang from returning home, which gave them enough time.
With their methods, they could easily transfer all the assets to their own name. Even if Jiang Haochang goes back, it will probably be very difficult for him to get them back.
How can a spoiled brat outmaneuver a group of cunning old foxes?
"The third question is, if there is no food left in the community and you can't go outside, what would you do?"
This question left Jiang Haochang somewhat bewildered. What else could he do but wait to die?
But he knew that Qin Bai wanted him to tell the truth, and if he said anything casually, he might lose another finger.
Suddenly, he thought of something, swallowed hard, and said, "Well, I'm just hypothesizing. If there were a corpse in front of me, I might eat people to survive."
Qin Bai chuckled. It was indeed Jiang Haochang. In fact, it wasn't just him; many people did the same thing.
If he remembered correctly, the temperature would drop again in a month, making it impossible for anyone to go outside.
No matter how many shops are outside, it's all meaningless if you can't go out.
In this situation, those people could only survive on the little food they had left.
One by one, people starved to death, but when the first person survived by using a recently deceased corpse, he told the others about the method.
And so, the others who were still alive became their prey.
Once someone is targeted, the target will wait patiently until that person starves to death, then have someone unlock the door, go inside, and drag the body away.
On one side are humans who gained strength by eating other people and successfully survived.
On one side are people who have no food and are half-dead. By comparing the two, it's clear who wins and who loses.
However, not everyone accepts cannibalism. These people did not eat people; instead, they chose to seize food themselves and exchange corpses for food from those who ate people.
In this way, they barely managed to survive.
Jiang Haochang chose the latter option back then. As for whether he would become a cannibal in the future, Qin Bai didn't know, because he would already be dead by then.
Among these, there is a type of talent that both sides are vying for.
That is...
Locksmith!
After all, with the current level of security doors, it's extremely difficult to force your way in.
The best way is to have someone skilled in lock picking open the lock, making it very easy to get in.
As luck would have it, because their neighborhood was a mixed bag, there were actually a few people who knew how to pick locks.
Of course, they were all registered with the police, and they usually made money by posting small advertisements everywhere and offering locksmith services.
But at that point, with their lives hanging by a thread, they didn't care about the law anymore; all they wanted was to survive.
Some locksmiths choose to eat people, while others choose not to; there are all kinds of people.
"I remember there were three locksmiths in total. One joined the cannibalism movement, one joined the non-cannibalism movement, and the third starved to death."
"That locksmith who starved to death was supposedly the most skilled of the three. The other two could only open mechanical locks at best, but this guy could even open combination locks. If someone forced him to open my combination lock..."
Qin Bai frowned. He needed to consider more factors now, as it would be troublesome if such a thing happened.
"It seems we need to make contact with that person beforehand, but for now, we should deal with Jiang Haochang first."
With his thoughts returning to normal, Qin Bai's gaze fell once again on Jiang Haochang.
"The fourth question..."
Qin Bai continued asking questions one by one, and Jiang Haochang told him everything.
Finally, Qin Bai stopped asking questions.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Jiang Haochang felt a little worried.
His fingers were numb from the cold and he couldn't feel the pain for the time being, but the broken part of his finger was something he didn't want to look at.
Just then, Qin Bai spoke up: "Young Master Jiang, if you had no food right now, and the woman next to you told you that there was a sycophant with some food in his hands, what would you do?"
“Tell me your true thoughts, or I’ll continue cutting off your fingers!”
Jiang Haochang didn't understand why Qin Bai was asking these strange questions.
Do we even need to think about this? Of course, we need to find a way to get that simp's food over here!
"If it were me, I would definitely use that woman to lure the man into opening the door, and then I would take the opportunity to kill him with a knife, because only in this way can I guarantee that I will get all the food."
"After all, even a simp wouldn't leave nothing for himself and give it all to others. That's not being a simp, that's being an idiot."
Upon hearing this answer, Qin Bai smiled, and he smiled very happily.
"Young Master Jiang, you truly live up to your reputation. No matter the situation, your answers always satisfy me."
"Therefore, as a reward, I will personally let you..."
Pfft!
Qin Bai's broadsword pierced straight through Jiang Haochang's chest, and only then did his voice finally arrive.
"Experience firsthand the pain I once felt."
"ah!"
Jiang Haochang lowered his head in disbelief, then a sharp pain shot through his brain, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream.
The pain was beyond his endurance; after only a few cries, he collapsed to the ground.
"Qin...Bai, I'll never let you go, even if it kills me..."
Jiang Haochang stared intently at Qin Bai with eyes full of resentment, then turned away unwillingly and fell silent.
Jiang Haochang, die!
Seeing Jiang Haochang lying in front of him, Qin Bai finally felt that he had truly taken his revenge!
"Hahaha...hahahaha..."
Laughter that sent chills down your spine came from inside the room.
