This woman was no better than Fang Yuqing; they were both of the same ilk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a hand in the food that tricked him and caused his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin hurried to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Yi, where are you heading?” Fang Yuqing asked with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To the supermarket.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi's voice remained cold, tinged with impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for his desire to let her experience the despair of the apocalypse, he would have already killed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing glanced at Lin Cainin and quickly said, “What a coincidence! We were just about to buy some things, too. We can go together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi had already figured it out by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must have seen him eating lavish at the Michelin three-star restaurant and mistakenly thought he was a hidden rich kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why they were suddenly so enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't be bothered to say anything to them and just headed towards the supermarket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more indifferent he was, the more Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin believed he was a wealthy heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he be so audacious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two followed closely by Zhang Yi's side, with Fang Yuqing occasionally brushing up against him on purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Zhang Yi looked at her, she would shyly turn her head, blushing like a bashful maiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi sneered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drama queen, you’re quite the actress. If you went into movies, you’d surely win an Oscar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi entered the supermarket, grabbed a shopping cart, and walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin quickly grabbed carts and followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Yi, were you dining with someone?” Fang Yuqing asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi approached the food section, responding coldly, “Can’t I eat alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing’s eyes lit up, and she quickly said, “Oh, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that the food there is so expensive. I thought you might have been treating someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin couldn’t help but ask, “Zhang Yi, you only make about ten thousand a month, right? That meal must have cost you half a year's salary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like your family left you quite a bit of money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing glared at Lin Cainin harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idiot, how could you say such a thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a top drama queen, the most important rule is: talk about romance with the rich and money with the poor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing her mistake, Lin Cainin quickly tried to cover up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I was just kidding. We’re all good friends, and money doesn’t really matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Yi completely ignored them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the food section and looked at the shelves full of goods like he was entering a treasure trove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he knew what it was like to make a pack of instant noodles last two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had an infinite desire for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi went straight to the shelves and threw food into the cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sausages, instant noodles, self-heating hot pots, and condiments were all bought in large quantities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His actions left Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Yi, why are you buying so much food? Are you going camping?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin grew suspicious and whispered to Fang Yuqing, “Would a rich heir take this kind of food camping?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing was also puzzled but didn’t want to give up the idea that Zhang Yi was wealthy after remembering the Michelin three-star meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurried over to Zhang Yi and said eagerly, “Do you need any help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With free labor available, Zhang Yi had no reason not to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, seeing Fang Yuqing’s pretend innocent smile sparked a desire for revenge in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a month to prepare for the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Building a perfect shelter to ensure his safety wasn’t difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for living supplies, he could get them from the Walmart warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, he could ensure he lived safely and comfortably during the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not let Fang Yuqing know he was storing supplies and have her come begging him later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Fang Yuqing leaking his whereabouts and attracting those bastard neighbors, that was easily solvable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't have to worry about being besieged as long as his safe house was strong enough. Instead, he could counterattack those neighbors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about their helplessness, Zhang Yi’s smile turned a bit twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this was indeed an option worth considering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi decided to contact a security company to build such a safe house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If feasible, he would go with this plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, he would leave the city and find a secluded wilderness to build an underground shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a two-pronged strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi’s lips curled up slightly. “You can help push the cart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing quickly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi also had Lin Cainin fetch another cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were filled with doubt, they did as told.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi bought many non-perishable food, including instant noodles, sausages, preserved meat, and canned goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also filled one cart with fresh meat, fruits, vegetables, and some live fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to test if his interdimensional space had any special effects on storing fresh goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With three carts full of supplies, Zhang Yi had the cart full of beef, lamb, and canned goods pushed by the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have weighed at least five hundred kilograms, leaving them sweating profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing pouted and complained, “Zhang Yi, how many people are you feeding? Are you planning something and not telling me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi chuckled coldly and said, “Weather is unpredictable. What if the world ends one day? I'm just stocking up on supplies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi was telling the truth, but no one would believe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had already been proven by a doctor named Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing thought Zhang Yi was joking and laughed, “If you don’t want to tell, just don’t. Why joke like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you have to treat me to a meal for helping you so much today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing’s eyes were full of expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hoped Zhang Yi would take her to a Michelin three-star restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi’s lips curled slightly, “Sure, but I'm busy lately. Maybe next month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing happily replied, “Great, it’s a deal then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin quickly added, “Yeah, let’s all go together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helping push a cart and getting a fancy meal in return made her very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Cainin’s lack of awareness, Fang Yuqing glared at her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Cainin pretended not to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi went to pay, spending over ten thousand yuan on supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paid without batting an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These supplies would be worth tens of thousands of times more in the apocalypse! They could even be priceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, no matter how much money you had, you might not be able to buy a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zhang Yi bought so much, the supermarket generously lent him the carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi unhesitatingly ordered the two women to help push the supplies home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could have driven his car to transport the supplies, but with free labor, why not use it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women complained about being tired, but they were motivated by the promise of a fancy meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the three of them pushed the three carts of supplies back to the neighborhood.\u003C\u002Fp>",1293,"2026-06-03T02:47:18.755Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.599Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c37ac7fc8e9b3a97cc1b92471db508da6599f24aa89f21dae52e16a7938d946","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-4","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-2",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
