Novel Bin Chapter 18: Helping Each Other
Chapter 18: Helping Each Other
Zhang Yi stared at the message sent by his father, Zhang Fan, and was so shocked that his entire body was trembling.
Even though the temperature in the room had already reached -40 degrees C, his forehead was still covered in cold sweat.
He was curled up on the bed. Three thick blankets were pressing tightly on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe, but even so, he did not dare to rashly lift them up.
Because the room was like an ice cellar.
Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment, but his eyes gradually turned cold.
He picked up his phone and started replying to the messages in the group.
"Everyone, I've asked my father. He told me that this disaster is only temporary. Because it's too cold outside, it's normal for there to be power and water outages."
"Don't worry, everyone. The government has already sent professionals to repair it overnight. My father also told me that the government is about to unify the management of each district."
"It's like this. Each district needs to elect a manager to directly contact the officials. I want to recommend myself. After all, my father can be considered to have some say in the higher-ups."
"The officials have already begun to issue notices. They hope that everyone can cooperate with the officials. If anyone does not cooperate and causes serious consequences, the officials will send the police to arrest them."
Zhang Yi typed on his phone while using his father's seal to forge an official notice.
Zhang Yi's words were extremely serious.
The owners were dissatisfied, but no one dared to object.
After all, the notice that Zhang Yi sent out later was really stamped with the official seal.
Ye Xingchen looked at the notice that Zhang Yi had sent on his phone and raised his eyebrows. He sneered.
Of course, he knew that Zhang Yi was lying.
In his previous life, he had used this despicable method to cheat a lot of materials from others.
However, he did not intend to expose Zhang Yi at this time.
Anyway, what did the other owners' lives have to do with him, Ye Xingchen?
Ye Xingchen turned on the TV and continued to watch the movie he had downloaded earlier.
Water outage, power outage?
What did it have to do with him? He had stored a huge amount of backup batteries, generators, and fuel in his space.
As for water…
He had stocked up hundreds of thousands of tons of tap water, not to mention the hundreds of tons of mineral water and drinks stored in the space.
If it was necessary, he could get water by melting snow.
Therefore, Ye Xingchen had no lack of water or energy.
Ye Xingchen watched movies while eating all kinds of imported snacks. Life was very enjoyable.
Looking at the entire Jing Hai City, oh no, or perhaps even the entire world, more than 99% of the regions had fallen into a state of water and electricity blackout.
The problem of water shortage was relatively easy to solve.
Those who really couldn't stand it could go out and dig for snow to get water.
However, the blackout was something that was unbearable.
The current society was developing very fast, and people's bodies were very delicate. If they were to be exposed to a low temperature of -10 degrees Celsius day and night, it would undoubtedly take their lives. New n𝙤vel chapters are published on
However, the officials couldn't be blamed for this. Because the snow was too deep and the weather was too cold, no one could insist on going to work under such circumstances.
Ye Xingchen remembered that there would still be a period of electricity supply every day. The officials were also doing their best to help everyone survive this disaster.
However, the population was too large, and the energy provided by nuclear power plants and new energy power stations was limited. They could not meet the electricity demand of the people at all.
At most, they could charge their phones or boil some hot water.
As for those high-power electrical appliances such as air-conditioning and electric heating, they were simply out of the question.
The neighbors wailed in the owners' group chat. Fear made them choose to huddle together for warmth.
Ye Xingchen was sitting cross-legged on the cashmere carpet, swirling red wine and watching a movie with full concentration.
The wind was howling outside, and there were large snowflakes in the strong wind.
However, the temperature in the room was still maintained at 25 degrees Celsius. The lights were brightly lit, and there was no need to worry about food and drink. There was everything you could eat and drink.
If one had to say what he lacked, it would probably be a mistress to accompany Ye Xingchen.
However, Ye Xingchen was not the kind of creature that only knew how to think with his lower body.
In his previous life, he had already suffered a loss from a woman. In this new life, nothing was more important than his own safety.
Unless it was absolutely safe, Ye Xingchen would not let anyone enter his safe house.
In the apocalypse, the human heart was the most difficult thing to look at.
In his previous life, he had seen a woman stab her husband to death for half a bag of instant noodles.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen received a new message on his phone.
He took it over with interest and found that Zhang Yi had tagged everyone in the owners' group chat.
"The current blizzard has a huge impact on everyone's lives."
"According to the experts' predictions, this blizzard will continue for a while. However, there is no need to panic."
"In order for everyone to overcome this crisis together, the officials have decided to appoint the manager of each district to collect the resources of each household from now on. After the collection is completed, the manager will distribute them uniformly."
"This is an official order! Every family must cooperate! Otherwise, if it was found out that someone was hiding something and disobeying the organization's arrangements, they would be punished by the officials!"
"For the sake of fairness and justice, if anyone finds out that someone is hiding something, they can report it enthusiastically. If it's verified, the informant will receive additional living supplies!"
Ye Xingchen sneered.
It was the same routine as in his previous life.
Human nature in the apocalypse was selfish. Zhang Yi's words stirred up a huge wave in the group.
"Now that the snow has sealed the door, there's no way to go out at all. The food in each household is not enough for themselves, and you still want to collect all of them and distribute them uniformly."
"That's right! Everyone's life is not good. It's not easy to leave some food. Do you still want to confiscate it? This is too much!"
Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and tapped on the phone screen.
"The officials said it! Extraordinary times, extraordinary methods!"
"The snow disaster will soon be over. Everyone, don't worry!"
"I just want everyone to redistribute the resources."
"At a time like this, many residents have already run out of food. Are you all so selfish?"
"Everyone lives in the same neighborhood and sees each other everywhere. Neighbors should help each other!"
Some families had a lot of supplies in their stores, while others were short of supplies.
Those whose families were short of supplies naturally stood up to support Zhang Yi.
After all, this was something that was beneficial to them.
"That's right! We are all neighbors, so what is wrong with helping each other out at such a critical time?"
"Isn't it just a few bites? It isn't like we couldn't afford it normally. It is just a special situation these few days!"
Ye Xingchen silently looked at the people in the group who had different thoughts. This was much better than watching a movie.
