How could he do something so unethical?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, blaming all their current suffering on Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t consider that even if Zhang Yi had warned them about the apocalypse, would they have believed him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they didn’t think about that. They just felt Zhang Yi owed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, someone said, \"Zhang Yi must be held accountable for this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, why should we suffer while he lives the good life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has so much food, fuel, medicine, and energy.

He wouldn’t act unless necessary; besides, he didn’t know Zhang Yi had so many resources!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known, he would have risked his life to attack Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group chat quickly filled with over a hundred messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people started tagging Zhang Yi, demanding an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, we’re all suffering, freezing and starving.

You praised my baby before. Save us! I’ll let the baby call you godfather. Even... if you have other demands, I can agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealthy heir, Xu Hao, said, \"Zhang Yi, let me stay with you. I’ll give you all my assets! No, my father is dead; our family’s billions in assets are all yours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching this drama for a long time, Zhang Yi slowly typed a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single word made everyone even more excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moral coercion continued, and the begging became more desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Zhang Yi calmly asked, \"Are we even close? Why should I share my things with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, everyone was on the brink of despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reasoning with them was pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To survive, they were ready to abandon all moral boundaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi knew this and had no intention of reasoning with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply wanted to play with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze turned wicked, remembering the scene from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he had opened his door out of kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, these neighbors had rushed in, struck him with an axe, and, before he was even dead, started tearing him apart and eating him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he would toy with these pathetic yet hateful people to his heart’s content!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, someone in the group got angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yi, how can you say that? We’ve been neighbors for years; mutual help is the right thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the point of you surviving alone? Young people shouldn’t just lie around enjoying themselves; you should think about others!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you hadn’t kept this to yourself and hoarded supplies, we wouldn’t be in this situation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, we’re suffering because of you. You must atone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi replied, \"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More pleas, threats, and insults followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like shipwreck survivors in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, surrounded by sharks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they saw a small fishing boat nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boatman was leisurely enjoying hotpot and singing as he rowed past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desperately, they swam over, begging to be pulled aboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer they were to the edge of despair and hope, the more their minds collapsed, revealing their twisted nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their distorted faces, Zhang Yi smiled, taking out a bottle of Grange from his wine cooler and some top-grade French foie gras from his space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red wine and foie gras were a perfect match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bitterness of the foie gras and the tannic astringency of the wine combined to create a delightful flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed even Chinese people unaccustomed to red wine to appreciate its taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating foie gras and drinking red wine, Zhang Yi watched his neighbors’ desperate performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some sent him private messages, and some even called him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi opened each message with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Xie Limei: \"Zhang Yi, please save me and my baby! If you let us stay with you, you can do anything you want to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>College student Zhang Siyu: \"Brother Zhang Yi, I’m still young. I don’t want to die. Take me in!
