Ye Xingchen scrolled up the screen. The first thing that came into view was a ground covered in coagulated blood and a corpse.

Then, Zhang Yi started to send messages to the group.

“Now that the snow has sealed the city, we can’t rely on anyone. We can only rely on ourselves.”

“Previously, I was elected as the manager of this district. Now, I will continue to take over the role of manager.”

“In the future, I will be in charge of everything here. You have seen the outcome of this person. As long as you are obedient, you will still have a way to live.”

“But if anyone has thoughts that they shouldn’t have, don’t blame me, the manager, for disciplining you.”

The next picture was a picture of Zhang Yi holding a pistol.

The usually lively group chat was now completely silent.

Everyone was so shocked by this bloody scene that they did not dare to speak.

In this peaceful era, everyone had only seen such bloody scenes in television dramas. But now, the corpse lying on the ground was a real living person beside them.

No one dared to jump out to refute Zhang Yi at this time. After all, everyone was afraid of death. Who would be so stupid as to come and die?

Ye Xingchen threw a peanut into his mouth. “Zhang Yi is indeed a member of the upper class. He knows that in order to make everyone fear him at this time, he has to use such an extraordinary method. This way, he can intimidate others and ensure his own safety.”

Then, Ye Xingchen’s phone began to emit a series of urgent message notifications.

He picked up his phone and saw that the number of unread messages was increasing.

At this moment, he realized that he had just been pulled into a new group.

Ye Xingchen was curious. He moved his finger and tapped on it.

As expected, the owners of the residential area created another group, but Zhang Yi was not in this group.

Everyone was very afraid of Zhang Yi’s threat. After all, they were only hungry and cold now, but it was not enough to starve them to death.

However, guns were different. One bullet was enough to kill someone.

As soon as the new group was opened, the neighbors began to chat.

“Help! Murder! Murder!!”

“I was at the scene tonight. It was so scary!”

“He’s the real deal. I thought I could buy some supplies from him tonight, but he almost missed me when he fired!”

“Is there any law here? Even the officials didn’t have the authority to kill people!”

“Yes, yes! Let’s report him together! Get the officials to arrest him!”

“But, but the officials have long ignored us…”

As everyone discussed, a united front suddenly appeared.

“We have more people. I saw that Zhang Yi bought a lot of supplies…”

No one knew who suggested it first.

“Why don’t we go and snatch his supplies together? He had bought so many things. Even if he distributed some to everyone, everyone would still be able to barely eat!”

In the face of hunger and cold, human nature is revealed.

“That’s right! So what if he had a gun? There are so many of us!”

“Yes, yes. Tonight was an accident. Everyone was not prepared, so that’s why it happened. This time, we’ll all be prepared before we go.”

Just as everyone was discussing, someone suddenly asked, “Then when do we make our move?”

For a moment, the group was silent.

No one dared to stand out.

Ye Xingchen looked at the chat log and couldn’t help but laugh.

They were just talking in the group, but when it came to risking their lives, they were all smarter than the other person.

Nonsense, whoever took the lead would be the first to die!

After a strange silence, Zhao Hao, the security guard of the neighborhood, suddenly jumped out to speak.

“I think everyone can be polite and ask Little Zhang if he is willing to sell the supplies. After all, those are the supplies that Little Zhang brought back. It’s not good for everyone to snatch them openly.”

All of a sudden, the group of people in the group who were still cursing Zhang Yi for being a devil jumped out.

At this moment, the target of their attack was the security guard, Zhao Hao.

Actually, Ye Xingchen had a good impression of Zhao Hao. Although they were not familiar with each other, everyone in the neighborhood knew that Zhao Hao was upright and warm-hearted.

This was one of the few good people that Ye Xingchen had identified.

However, Ye Xingchen wasn’t sure how long Zhao Hao could live. He only knew that that mom from before, Li Anran, seemed to have been living quite well. At least, she had lived longer than him in his previous life.

In the past, Zhao Hao was quite respected in the neighborhood. He was a soldier before and retired due to serious injuries. He was upright and never coveted small gains.

But now, Zhao Hao was being scolded by a group of people in the group.

In the end, Zhao Hao was even kicked out of the group.

Some people called Zhao Hao a devil like Zhang Yi.

Some people even said that Zhao Hao might have killed someone like Zhang Yi, which was why he subconsciously defended Zhang Yi.

All kinds of vicious and dirty words filled the entire chat group. It was unbearable to look at.

Ye Xingchen silently put down his phone as he watched those people crazily accuse Zhao Hao of crimes that he did not commit.

Yes, who cares about propriety and shame now?

The society that had gradually deviated from the rule of law now advocated the survival of the fittest. Who cared who the original owner of the food was?

Ye Xingchen was different from them. After hearing Zhao Hao’s words, Ye Xingchen was already thinking about how he could make Zhao Hao work for him. As long as a person with a moral heart didn’t mistakenly sympathize with people he shouldn’t sympathize with in the future, didn’t have a saintly heart, and remained loyal, then he could be used by him.

Zhao Hao, on the other hand, was still at a loss even after he was kicked out of the group. He wrapped his tattered cotton clothes around himself and wondered what was wrong with the world.

Ye Xingchen’s attention was pulled back to the screen.

The group chat was in a frenzy of scolding, but there was some movement from one of the main characters who was being scolded.

After Zhang Yi moved cart after cart of goods into the house, he began to move into the courtyard of the villa…Stacking corpses.

Ye Xingchen frowned. For a moment, he still could not figure out what Zhang Yi was doing.

Not only did he put the person he had just killed in the courtyard, but he also ordered people to drive a truck to transport other dead bodies to him.

Why did Zhang Yi pile up these corpses?

In a flash, a terrifying thought appeared in Ye Xingchen’s mind. His pupils could not help but shrink!

Zhang Yi had collected so many corpses everywhere. Could it be…Did he want to keep them as food?!

This thought made Ye Xingchen’s hair stand on end and his entire body tremble.

Only ten days had passed! There were clearly plenty of supplies, but Zhang Yi had already set his sights on the corpses?!

It was freezing cold, and the world was a natural freezer. The corpses piled up in the courtyard would not rot at all.

Ye Xingchen was speechless. The apocalypse had descended, and the human world had become a purgatory where people ate each other.
