Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Besides Fang Yuqing, Wang Min and the others nudged her to get to the point.

Sniffling, Fang Yuqing tearfully said, "Zhang Yi, Zhou Peng and the others were badly injured by your arrows. Without medicine, they will die from infection."

"Didn't you stockpile a lot of medicine? Please, lend us some."

"I... I promise we won't bother you again!"

Zhang Yi paused, bewildered by Fang Yuqing's twisted logic.

"Fang Yuqing, do you know why I used rusty arrows on them?"

"I want them to suffer and die from the infections. That's the whole point!"

"And now you come to ask me for medicine? Are you insane?"

Zhang Yi laughed mockingly.

Fang Yuqing and the others understood this. But if they didn't shamelessly beg Zhang Yi, they could only watch their companions die.

The three men—Zhou Peng, Sun Zhichao, and Ge Jialiang—were their hope for survival.

Crying, Fang Yuqing pleaded, "Zhang Yi, we were wrong. Please, spare them this time. We promise never to trouble you again."

"And in these tough times, we should help each other."

"Don't be so heartless. Wouldn't their deaths make you feel worse?"

Before she finished, Zhang Yi firmly said, "No, I feel great."

Fang Yuqing was at a loss for words.

Wang Min, desperate, approached Zhang Yi, "Zhang Yi, I’m Wang Min. Do you remember? I even treated you to a meal before!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes.

Previously, Wang Min had asked for his help to get a batch of goods from the warehouse at a low price. Zhang Yi had indeed had a meal with her but had later helped her make a substantial profit.

"Do you think that matters?" Zhang Yi sneered.

Wang Min swallowed hard, hearing Zhou Peng’s screams from the living room.

Zhang Yi, relishing their misery, wished he could see their wretched faces.

Wang Min continued, "Zhang Yi, we’re all struggling to survive, and there’s also Chen Zhenghao, a dangerous thug. We should leave room for future aid."

"If you give us medicine this time, I, Wang Min, will remember your kindness and repay you."

Zhang Yi dismissed her, "Kindness? Do you think I’m an idiot?"

"Those idiots were hurt by me, and you’ve got a corpse at my door."

"No matter what I do, we’re enemies. Helping you would only invite future revenge. That’s laughable!"

Wang Min tried to explain, "We aren’t that kind of people!"

"Enough! This is pointless."

Zhang Yi clicked his tongue. "Whether you are or not doesn’t matter. What matters is I don’t believe you, so I won’t help."

Saving those who want to harm you? That’s pure naivety. No matter how persuasive they were, Zhang Yi wouldn’t waver.

Seeing Zhang Yi unmoved, the group grew desperate.

Wang Min, eyebrows raised in anger, said, "Zhang Yi, don’t push us too far! If you force us into a corner, we don’t know what we might do!"

Zhang Yi sneered, "Haven’t you already tried everything?"

"If you had the capability, you’d have broken in, killed me, and taken everything already."

"I’m not scared of threats."

Fang Yuqing grabbed the phone, tearfully saying, "Zhang Yi, do we have to end up like this? We used to be so close."

"Can’t we let go of our grudges and start over? I’ve always had feelings for you!"

Next door, Zhou Peng bit on a towel during his surgery. Hearing this, his eyes nearly bulged out, and he groaned louder.

Faced with such hypocrisy, Zhang Yi was impressed by her shamelessness.

In this environment, Zhang Yi was like a rich tycoon. Gold-digging women clinging to rich men were nothing new.

Suddenly, an evil idea crossed Zhang Yi’s mind.

He knew the others were nearby and Zhou Peng could hear their conversation.

So Zhang Yi deliberately said, "Sigh, Yuqing, I still have feelings for you. But you hurt me too deeply before."

This lit a spark of hope in Fang Yuqing.

Ignoring the angry glares around her, she trembled with excitement, "Yi, I knew you still cared for me!"

"You’re silly. I’ve always liked you. Everything before was just a test. How could you not understand my feelings?"

Wang Min and the others felt nauseated, while Zhou Peng was furious.

However, they hoped that if Fang Yuqing won over Zhang Yi, they might gain access to his house and supplies, so they stayed silent.

"Yi, let me move in with you! I’ll be your woman from now on. I’ll do anything you want, okay?"

Zhang Yi smiled slightly.

"Alright!"

Fang Yuqing was so excited she almost jumped, more thrilled than drinking soy milk.

Lin Cainin quickly added, "Take me too, take me!"

Fang Yuqing coldly glanced at her, laughing inside.

Zhang Yi’s voice came through the phone again.

"But Yuqing, I only love you. So, I can only accept you alone."

"As for those others, you should distance yourself from them. In these hard times, we don’t need a bunch of people dragging us down. Right?"

Everyone's faces changed.

They had hoped Fang Yuqing would get Zhang Yi to help them all.

But Zhang Yi’s words suggested he wanted to cut ties with them.

Fang Yuqing, too excited to care, eagerly nodded.

"Okay, okay, everything you say. I’ll listen to you!"

"Then come over now, and leave the others behind."

"Okay, I’ll come right away. Wait for me!"

Fang Yuqing’s face flushed with excitement. The thought of escaping her hellish life made her forget everything else.

She ran toward the door.

Wang Min and the others, filled with rage, watched as Fang Yuqing prepared to leave them for Zhang Yi.

Lin Cainin grabbed her, "Don’t leave us! I’ve had enough of this life too!"

Before Fang Yuqing could respond, Wang Min slapped her hard.

"You shameless bitch! After causing all this, you want to leave us? No way!"
