Fang Yuqing lay there helplessly, her eyes vacant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Zhou Peng took off his pants, he discovered a cruel reality—he couldn’t get an erection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such extreme cold, and with his deteriorating physical condition, even given the chance, he couldn’t perform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get up! Get up!” Zhou Peng tried various ways to stimulate himself, but nothing worked. It seemed like that part of him had lost all sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Fang Yuqing sneered, “You really are useless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhhhhh!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Peng’s desperate scream echoed through the room, resembling the howl of a defeated beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew this was Zhang Yi’s test for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was extremely dangerous, if she didn’t do it, she knew she would soon die at the hands of Chen Zhenghao and his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, Chen Zhenghao and his men were sitting in the living room, and he sent one of his lackeys to the kitchen to cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke'er, who was observing from the corner, suddenly stood up and said, “I’ll help him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhenghao’s cold gaze fell on her, and he smiled eerily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, I knew you couldn’t hold out any longer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke'er's whole body tensed, her blood nearly freezing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhenghao continued, “Two days without food—anyone would break. Dr. Zhou, it’s not shameful to want to live!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke'er breathed a slight sigh of relief and bit her lip. “You’re right, I don’t want to die; I want to live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhenghao, thinking she had come around, nodded, “That’s the right attitude. You’re still useful to me. I don’t want you to die too soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke'er took a deep breath and silently turned to help in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitchen was filled with bloodstains, and even with a stuffy nose, the stench was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing her nausea, she began chopping wood and lighting a fire as directed by the lackey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the energy crisis, they were forced to burn furniture for cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The makeshift stove in the kitchen held a large iron pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the fire was lit, snow in the pot began to melt into water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The melted snow was murky and filled with impurities, but in these dire times, no one could be choosy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While watching the lackey, Zhou Ke'er also observed the activity outside the kitchen. Her palms sweated nervously because if she were caught, she would surely die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the lackey threw some ingredients into the pot and added some random spices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch it,” the lackey said coldly, leaving the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ensuring it was safe, Zhou Ke'er took a small bottle from her pocket. She hurriedly unscrewed the cap and poured a heap of white powder into the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, she quickly hid the bottle and stirred the powder into the soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the danger, no one noticed her actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Zhou Ke'er brought out a large pot of food, and everyone eagerly gathered to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke'er also took a bowl of soup to gain their trust and returned to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one cared about her; they only focused on eating the hot food that represented survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on her bed with the bowl of soup, Zhou Ke'er waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had added a large dose of sleeping pills to the pot. As a doctor, she knew the effects well—this amount would knock out even an elephant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, she heard the snores from the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cautiously, she found everyone asleep on the sofas and chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke'er held her breath and messaged Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I drugged them heavily. They’re all unconscious. What’s next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi had been waiting for her message to confirm she could complete the task and prove her value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drag them to the balcony,” Zhang Yi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke'er bit her lip. This was a terrifying task, as she could be killed if they woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as a professional doctor, she was confident in the drug’s potency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Zhang Yi’s instructions, she dragged each person to the balcony. Even in the freezing cold, they remained deeply unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi watched everything from his window, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the task, Zhou Ke'er asked with trembling voice, “What now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment,” Zhang Yi said, putting down his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retrieved a thick winter coat and ten child-sized ropes from storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Armed with a loaded crossbow, a machete, and a handgun for extra safety, he felt a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the locks on his balcony door—each with fingerprint, electronic, and physical mechanisms—Zhang Yi stepped outside for the first time since the apocalypse began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the cold wind, his professional-grade winter clothes kept him warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ke'er shivered near the window, hugging herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you going to kill them?” she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi grinned, raising his gun at the unconscious thugs and tossing the ropes at Zhou Ke'er's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not me, you are.”\u003C\u002Fp>",833,"2026-06-03T02:47:19.035Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.879Z",1,"novelbin.me","48e492b44f20c0e75f0c82eaffc362d96c6fb1cbb2289dca9aed0fdf0bf1c212","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-66","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-64",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
