He’s quite tenacious,” Zhang Yi mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhenghao had been shot in the leg. Without proper treatment, his leg would be useless, and infection could even claim his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such extreme cold, any injury could lead to a fatal fever. Surviving was a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe the cold is too extreme for the virus to survive, and that’s why he hasn’t died yet?” Zhang Yi pondered, not well-versed in medical matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn’t care much whether Chen Zhenghao lived or died; it wouldn’t significantly impact him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhenghao’s death was merely a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Zhang Yi woke up, still groggy, and grabbed his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking the chat groups and forums for news was now his primary source of entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing others struggle desperately in the extreme cold while he lived in comfort in this apocalyptic world brought him immense satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stark contrast quelled his boredom and occasional loneliness. Compared to those freezing or starving to death, he was incredibly fortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his phone, he was surprised to see messages from Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing wrote, \"Zhang Yi, I’m sorry. I was too cold yesterday, and my emotions were out of control. I shouldn’t have taken it out on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were right. I was too naive and ignorant before, not recognizing who truly cared for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I realize you’re the one who treated me the best. I actually have strong feelings for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you forgive me? Let’s live together from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to be your woman. You must be lonely living alone during this apocalypse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can come over to keep you company so you won’t be alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi sighed. The once arrogant Fang Yuqing had finally shed her dignity and pride in the face of disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his merciless taunting, she had to swallow her pride and beg him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk tsk,\" Zhang Yi shook his head. In his past life, he had been foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could have had her easily if he had known she was this kind of woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women like Fang Yuqing, pretending to be pure goddesses, were utterly worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi replied, \"A bad apple can quench thirst, but I’m not that desperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his interdimensional space, he could help himself and plenty of high-end products from Japan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Zhang Yi desired them, but Walmart’s warehouse had everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closing Fang Yuqing’s chat, he opened Lin Cainin’s messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was even bolder. Perhaps knowing she wasn’t as attractive as Fang Yuqing and thus at a disadvantage in competition, she sent him suggestive selfies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These would have caused a scandal in the past, but now, she was desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi quickly replied, \"I feel nothing, not even a stir, just laughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he ignored her. He knew that after seeing the comforts of his home, these two women would stop at nothing to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already discarded their dignity and would soon resort to any means necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what did it matter? Zhang Yi had fortified his home into a steel fortress to handle any situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin, upon receiving Zhang Yi’s responses, erupted in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had thrown away their dignity, begging him humbly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin, in particular, sent every possible suggestive selfie. Yet Zhang Yi said her photos made him laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great humiliation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she couldn’t put on makeup or dress up, she was still a woman, wasn’t she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both women grew increasingly resentful. Their current lives were hellish, enduring both hunger and extreme cold. Zhang Yi’s home was their last hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If worse comes to worst, we’ll break into his house!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must live in his home. I can’t endure this suffering anymore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If necessary, I’ll kill Zhang Yi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was willing to do anything to stay in Zhang Yi’s home. However, as a woman, she knew she couldn’t overpower Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this over, Fang Yuqing’s cold gaze turned to the neighboring apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Lin Cainin had already fallen out, their former fake friendship shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Fang Yuqing needed help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went next door and said to Lin Cainin, “That damned Zhang Yi is watching us starve and freeze without letting us into his home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t just sit here and die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That apartment is too good for him. Let’s find a way to take it from him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin’s eyes gleamed with greed at Fang Yuqing’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If begging Zhang Yi didn’t work, they’d have to deceive or rob him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I agree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why should that bastard Zhang Yi live in such a good house?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He should be thrown out to freeze and be eaten by wild dogs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re the ones who should live in his home!”\u003C\u002Fp>",970,"2026-06-03T02:47:18.755Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.599Z",1,"novelbin.me","92b53e98de6065123a09c19a70729e7c3a7435259bc5070ba9c0c36e89dd7f0b","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-37","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-35",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
