They’re all coming for you with weapons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm feeling surged in Zhang Yi’s heart. In such a world, it was rare to find good people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and replied, “Uncle You, don’t worry. I can handle this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle You was silent for a moment, seemingly understanding that there was nowhere to run now. Resistance was the only option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “Zhang Yi, I hope you can survive. I’m sorry I can’t help you this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his living conditions were still manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Zhang Yi about to be besieged by so many people, he felt powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi replied calmly, “Your kindness is already shown by not joining them. Don’t worry about me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle You’s choice was the most prudent. Coming over to help Zhang Yi now would likely result in being hacked to death by the more than one hundred residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief chat with Uncle You, Zhang Yi remained cautious and didn’t reveal any details about his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trust no one fully, regardless of who they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Zhang Yi felt a slight tremor beneath his feet and heard a rumbling sound from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re here,” Zhang Yi murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that was the sound of over a hundred people flooding up the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhang Yi lived on the 24th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the elevators out of service, those climbing the stairs would be utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not only were the people from the lower floors coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, through the surveillance on his large screen, Zhang Yi saw his neighbors from the adjacent 2402 apartment also coming out with kitchen knives and wrenches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next door was a young couple, the woman holding a kitchen knife and hiding behind the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes glowed with envy as they stared at Zhang Yi’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that their neighbor had been living a heavenly life for the past half month must have driven them mad with jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd soon filled the corridor outside Zhang Yi’s door, making it completely impassable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few held umbrellas over their heads to prevent Zhang Yi from pouring cold water on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, someone couldn’t hold back and started banging on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Yi, get out here! This is your last chance if you don’t want to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t wait for us to break in, or it’ll be too late for words then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the surveillance, Zhang Yi didn’t see Sun Zhichao or Chen Zhenghao among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This confirmed one thing: Sun Zhichao and Chen Zhenghao hadn’t told them about the actual situation in Zhang Yi’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, they intended to use the other neighbors as cannon fodder, letting them bear the brunt of Zhang Yi’s crossbow and high-voltage attacks first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi didn’t hesitate, as he had plenty of energy and wasn’t worried about the electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed the high-voltage button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce electric current immediately seized the young man banging on the door, his face contorted in pain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most terrifying part was that with over a hundred people packed into the corridor, the electric current passed through him to many others behind him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s high voltage, get back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those behind him, feeling the shock, quickly let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for their thick clothing, they wouldn’t have had a chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone got a taste of the high voltage, their muscles twitching in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man banging on the door and the seven or eight people around him suffered the worst, unable to escape, their bodies charred black by the electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others, terrified, didn’t dare to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about ten seconds, Zhang Yi cut the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine people collapsed to the ground, smoke rising from their bodies, filling the air with the smell of roasted meat and burnt clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nine fell together, their bodies charred black, uncertain if they were dead or alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone knew that even if these people had a breath left, in their current state, they were as good as dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes widened in terror at the scene before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t expected so many to die instantly, right before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of those electrocuted were extremely grim, their eyes wide open in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several women in the crowd couldn’t bear it, screaming and bending over to vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their stomachs were empty, and they could only retch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some felt the urge to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they reached the stairwell, they found it blocked by Chen Zhenghao and his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think you’re doing? Get back!” Chen Zhenghao, holding a gun, spoke menacingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stairwell was their only escape route, and Chen Zhenghao blocked it to force everyone to fight Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they died, Chen Zhenghao could rightfully take their resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Zhichao and a few others, dragging their wounded bodies, were also present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at the nine corpses with cold expressions, clearly sharing the same intention as Chen Zhenghao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the crowd’s fear, Sun Zhichao shouted, “That damn Zhang Yi is a beast! He’s killing his neighbors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers and sisters, we must kill Zhang Yi to avenge them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be afraid. Use wood to break the door; just don’t touch it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s out of tricks. He’s desperate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once we break down this door, there’s warmth and endless food waiting for us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Zhichao’s words rekindled the crowd’s anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had endured hunger and cold for over half a month. For a bite of food and a moment of warmth, they were willing to risk everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone quickly fetched a piece of wood, seemingly dismantled from a large cabinet or bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, let’s break it down! Open the door and kill that dog Zhang Yi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of people, holding the wood, began frantically ramming Zhang Yi’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent ramming caused the water on Zhang Yi’s table to ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Yi found it not intense enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retrieved a large Sennheiser speaker from his storage space, connected it to his phone, and played his favorite song, \"Love While Doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energetic song blared inside, further enraging the people outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Yi, you’re dead! We’ll kill you today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You will pay with your life for my brother’s death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rammed the door harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after dozens of hits, they were dismayed to find the door barely budged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen strong men exerting force together, totaling over a thousand pounds, left only white marks and tiny dents on the black iron door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair filled their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of door is this? Why is it so strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this rate, how long will it take to break it down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were working in temperatures below minus seventy degrees, and with insufficient food, they had little strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many felt their legs weakening and had to rotate shifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this rate, they would all be exhausted before breaking the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One man approached, stared at the door for a while, and then exclaimed, “This... this is a bank vault door!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He worked in a bank and recognized the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair spread among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does that mean it can’t be broken?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bank employee shook his head bitterly, “Forget using wood. Even with explosives, you couldn’t break this top-grade vault door!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without the key, only the world’s top lockpickers could possibly open it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Zhang Yi, holding a crossbow, moved to the shooting hole.\u003C\u002Fp>",1290,"2026-06-03T02:47:19.035Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.879Z",1,"novelbin.me","542716947c1eb41e90f2e42c7d9ab06b6b2ab4d0c1e645e5aaf509bce02b5a59","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-57","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-55",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
