"I wonder who was so ruthless as to sever Tian Qing's Achilles tendon and wrist tendon. Doesn't that mean Tian Qing is doomed?"
On her way back, Ariel Lin sighed and thought to herself, but there was nothing she could do. She could only hope that her family could survive. Of course, Ariel Lin never expected that it was Xiao Chen who did it.
Soon Ariel Lin returned home. Upon opening the door, she found that apart from a few pieces of wooden furniture, the rest of the furniture was mostly made of steel.
"But the weather is really terrifying, it has reached minus sixty degrees Celsius. You know, even in the coldest part of Antarctica, the temperature is only about this low."
Lin Yichen looked at the electronic thermometer hanging on the wall and frowned. It was already minus sixty degrees Celsius, and the heavy snow didn't seem to be stopping. Thinking of this, Lin Yichen shivered from the cold.
In room 701, a few pieces of firewood were seen burning in the living room at some unknown time. The warmth they brought made Xu Qing and Huang Ziying, who were sitting on the side, close their eyes in ecstasy.
They didn't open their eyes until the wooden block went out, their eyes filled with reluctance.
"Ziying, can't you get some more firewood to burn? It's not just me who needs warmth."
Shen Shuisi looked at Huang Ziying with deep affection and said something that almost made Huang Ziying lose her composure. Huang Ziying's face turned somewhat pale as she spoke.
"Sisi, although I really want to, I've already dismantled the whole bed so you can stay warm. Besides, we don't know when the heavy snow will stop, and the temperature might drop even lower, so let's save some energy."
Hearing Huang Ziying's words, Shen Shuisi had no choice but to give up making further demands. Although she was greedy, she knew that she should try her best to save money in this situation.
After all, among the people she knew, only Huang Ziying's family had a large wooden bed that could be dismantled and burned. Although they had one here too, it was theirs, and they would definitely feel bad if they burned it.
In Huang Ziying's words, "Sorry, I don't feel sorry for you at all."
"Alright, Ziying, look how late it is. It's time for you to go back to sleep. Qingqing and I should go to sleep too."
After checking the time, Chen Shuisi began to shoo them away, and Huang Ziying unsurprisingly came to the door. Once outside, Huang Ziying's face darkened.
"Phew, I've spent so much and you still won't say yes. I'll give you three more days. If you still don't agree after three days, I'll have to resort to force."
Clearly, Huang Ziying had reached his limit of patience, but for the sake of his so-called gentlemanly demeanor, he had no choice but to back down. After making up his mind, Huang Ziying jogged back to his lair. The weather was getting colder and colder.
After chasing Huang Ziying away, Shen Shuisi and Xu Qing immediately huddled under the covers. Without the warmth of the fire, only the covers could offer some protection from the bitter cold.
"Qingqing, I think it's time for us to go find Xiao Chen. You've seen Ziying's situation; I reckon he doesn't have much food left."
Chen Shuisi made the suggestion, and Xu Qing agreed with the decision, but after a moment Xu Qing became somewhat worried.
"But if Huang Ziying finds out, will she tell Xiao Chen?"
"Don't worry, do you think Xiao Chen will trust us or some nobody? Xiao Chen knows my judgment, he will never trust Huang Ziying."
Chen Shuisi said confidently, but then he thought of something and quickly said...
"We can trick Huang Ziying into giving us all her food first, which will be the last bit of value she has. Then we can take Huang Ziying's food to Xiao Chen. I don't think Xiao Chen would refuse a huge amount of food coming to his door. While Xiao Chen is at the door, I'll pounce on him and arouse his lust. I don't believe Xiao Chen can resist the temptation of two top beauties."
"Unless Xiao Chen isn't a man."
Of course, Shen Shuisi would never say the latter part, because she had seen Xiao Chen's erection when he looked at her in her sexy outfit.
It seems that Xiao Chen was just playing hard to get, waiting for her to come to him. What she said was true, but the object of Xiao Chen's hard to get was not her, but Lin Yichen.
Three days passed quickly. During these three days, several more residents in Building 5 died of cold due to the extreme cold. Lin Yichen was shivering from the cold, as there were only five quilts in her house, and even covering herself with them all didn't keep her warm enough.
"Perhaps we could go to Xiao Chen's place?"
For some reason, this thought flashed through Ariel Lin's mind, and once it appeared, it took root and wouldn't go away.
"Alright, let's wait a bit longer. I still have some food. If the heavy snow doesn't stop after I finish eating, I'll go to Xiao Chen's place."
Lin Yichen thought to herself that there were about three loaves of bread left in her house. She also remembered what Xiao Chen had said earlier: in the apocalypse, innocence is the least valuable thing, and survival is the only thing that matters.
In room 701, Shen Shuisi, Xu Qing, and Huang Ziying were all gathered together, and the three of them were seen shivering from the cold.
"Light the fire! Light the fire, quick! I'm freezing!"
Shen Shuisi quickly said that he saw Huang Ziying carrying more than a dozen pieces of firewood in his arms. These were all taken from the large bed in another room of his house.
After hearing Shen Shuisi's words, Huang Ziying shakily set up the firewood and placed a whole pack of tissues under it. It was only with great difficulty that the firewood was lit. After feeling the warmth, Shen Shuisi and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Shen Shuisi spoke up: "Ziying, why don't you let me keep all the food in your house? I'm worried that someone will steal your food."
Huang Ziying couldn't help but believe Shen Shuisi's serious expression. Since she was going to confess to Shen Shuisi anyway, it seemed reasonable to give her the food first and then confess.
Thinking of this, Huang Ziying smiled and quickly said, "Sisi, wait here, I'll go get it for you right now!"
After saying that, Huang Ziying put on her clothes and ran towards her home. Even Shen Shuisi and Xu Qing did not expect that Huang Ziying would agree so quickly.
"I didn't expect him to agree so quickly, but it's good this way. If he gives me everything, we can go to Xiao Chen's house tomorrow."
Shen Shuisi looked at Xu Qing and smiled, and Xu Qing also laughed. It seemed that she was thinking about their wonderful life, but she did not expect that they would soon be facing Huang Ziying's anger!
