Does he really have medicine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Min glared at Fang Yuqing, “You better not be lying! Because of you, several of us are seriously injured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Yi's name now sent shivers down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing explained, “About a month ago, Zhang Yi suddenly changed. He started hoarding supplies like crazy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every day, I saw trucks delivering things to his home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One time, I saw a medical company's truck come to our community, and Zhang Yi went to receive it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Ke’er also said, “Antibiotics aren’t rare. If he foresaw the disaster and stockpiled supplies, he would definitely have a lot of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a doctor, Zhou Ke’er was confident in this assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, Sun Zhichao’s eyes shone with a crazed light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then go to Zhang Yi and make him give us the medicine to save my life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He caused my injury, so he must save me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Min, biting her lip, looked conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But after what just happened, he probably hates us. Why would he give us medicine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Jialiang, writhing in pain on the sofa, groaned, “Oh, I feel like I’m dying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think of something! Go beg Zhang Yi, you must save us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing added, “We didn’t hurt him. We even planned to leave some supplies for him after breaking in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instead, he didn’t appreciate our kindness and attacked us. We are the righteous ones, what’s there to fear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their words, Zhou Ke'er understood what had happened, but her eyes filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this matter didn’t concern her, so she didn’t comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her medical box, taking out gauze to stop the bleeding for the injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her medical supplies were almost gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had kept a small amount of emergency supplies at home, not much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent days, she had helped several neighbors, depleting her stock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wang Min and the others couldn’t get medicine, she might only be able to remove the arrows and bandage the wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least...she could make their deaths less painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their bold talk, they still believed they were in the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just trying to survive, so how could that be wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi was to blame for being too selfish. Why should he enjoy such good living conditions alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, Wang Min pointed at Fang Yuqing, “You’re the best person for this! I know Zhang Yi pursued you before, so you’re the most suitable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Zhichao and Ge Jialiang weakly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was Fang Yuqing who told them about Zhang Yi’s situation and assured them that his defenses were weak, leading them to risk everything foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhou Peng was reluctant to send Fang Yuqing to beg Zhang Yi, the intense pain in his arm and the threat of death made him side with Wang Min.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to Fang Yuqing, “Yuqing, we’re a team, right? Please, just this once. We all need to survive to protect you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing was conflicted, and deeply unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Zhang Yi had humiliated her before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now she had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her connection with Zhou Peng allowed her to join this group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, a fragile woman like her would be of little use against the likes of Chen Zhenghao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other groups wouldn’t choose to take her in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they did, she might end up as a plaything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, a woman with no skills other than being pretty and coquettish was cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke’er took out her surgical knife. With limited resources, sterilization was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even alcohol lamps would freeze at these temperatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, without medicine, sterilization was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had Sun Zhichao bite on a towel, and then started extracting the arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without anesthesia, the procedure soon filled the room with screams like those of a slaughtered pig. Sun Zhichao nearly bit through the towel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horrific scene terrified everyone, hastening Fang Yuqing’s plea for medicine from Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no choice, Fang Yuqing dialed Zhang Yi's WeChat voice call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buzz...buzz...buzz...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi, at home, was about to eat something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, despite killing for the first time, he felt remarkably calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no fear, only a sense of triumphant revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pleased him. In the apocalypse, such a mindset was essential for survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had feared vomiting or losing sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having experienced more crises than anyone else, little could shake his mental state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the phone rang, Zhang Yi, intrigued, saw it was Fang Yuqing calling. His eyes widened with a surprised smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? After such a beating, calling to curse me out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi answered without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worse their situation, the happier he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put it on speaker and continued making lunch in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, how may I help you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi’s voice was gentle as if he hadn’t just killed Lu Tao or shot arrows at Sun Zhichao and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His calmness made Fang Yuqing and the others feel even more terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing, with everyone watching, used the speakerphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pleaded, “Zhang Yi, Lu Tao is dead. Zhou Peng and the others are dying from your arrows. Sob…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cried pitifully, hoping to win Zhang Yi’s sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Yi coolly said, “Oh, dead is dead. We all die eventually.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a knife near the microphone, he added, “You don’t really think you’ll survive this snow disaster, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice, like a devil's, sent chills down Wang Min and the others’ spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi had voiced their deepest fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the city snowbound, their building was an isolated island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they survived, for now, supplies would soon run out. If not killed by Chen Zhenghao, they’d freeze or starve to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trembling, Fang Yuqing cried, “Zhang Yi, I know I was wrong. It’s my fault for not accepting your advances. But I’ve changed. Can you forgive me?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1025,"2026-06-03T02:47:18.755Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.599Z",1,"novelbin.me","ec13c609ec742eb4ae73b276d0a8295f7b7f19551d3350a89a0225a72d0f3219","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-50","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-48",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
