Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Ye Xingchen didn’t pay attention to the whispers of the strangers behind him. He was extremely hungry, so he drove Mo Qi straight home.
Just like before, after Lin Sijia ced the dishes on the table, Ye Xingchen brought out crab roe tofu, sweet and sour pork ribs, pickled fish, stir-fried beef, braised pork, shredded chicken, arge pot of cream mushroom soup, and arge pot of spaghetti bolognese from the space.
This was the first time Mo Qi had seen so much food since she came here. Her eyes were wide open. Other than Lin Sijia, the other two people at the table were eating rigorously the whole time. Mo Qi was so full that she couldn’t stand up straight.
Ye Xingchen did not n to go out for the next few days.
One, the nearby supermarkets and convenience stores were mostly dug up and robbed by surrounding residents already.
Further away, Ye Xingchen had also searched through most of the supermarket warehouses in the suburbs.
The warehouses for medical supplies were basically empty. Ye Xingchen had taken away a lot of generators and storage batteries from the factories, as well asrge water storage barrels and oil drums.
Ye Xingchen even collected a lot of rubber boats and intable boats, as well as life jackets and life savers.
However, it was normal. After all, this ce was close to the beach. During the holidays, many people went to the beach to swim and surf.
These things were indeed useless. It was typical for them to be thrown into the warehouse instead of being moved away.
Second, Ye Xingchen had taken things through the air many times that day. He had eaten dozens of Snickers bars. Eating so many Snickers bars at once had hurt him.
However, there was nothing he could do. Under the extremely low temperature, other things would immediately turn cold after a short while or even freeze.
So… Ye Xingchen might as well eat a few more Snickers bars after eating a stomach full of food that was no longer delicious.
Although this candy bar was too sweet, it could indeed restore a lot of energy for him.
There was nothing good nearby, but Ye Xingchen’s space had enough.
Although it was not enough to support the entire country, it was definitely not a problem to support the people of a city.
Moreover, since the apocalypse had arrived, more than half of the people had already died.
Ye Xingchen had a premonition. He felt that in the near future, something even more terrifying than the extreme cold would happen.
However, before Ye Xingchen’s prediction was realized, something else happened.
The supermarket near the neighborhood had been emptied by everyone, along with the convenience stores around it.
Ye Xingchen turned on his phone and found that the people in the owners’ group had already started chatting about the situation in other cities.
Someone said that he wanted to go somewhere else.
This was because most of the resources that could be plundered in this city had already been divided up by others.
But where would he go if he went out?
Therefore, someone said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to take a look.
Ye Xingchen paid special attention to the few people who were talking this way in the group chat and realized that they were all people who lived in the residential area of themunity. Most of them were not locals. The reason why they lived here was that several of them shared the rent together.
“Why don’t youe to my hometown? There aren’t many people in my hometown, so perhaps the food hasn’t been dug out yet.”
“We’ve emptied the supermarket. Do you think there’s still food left in the market? 1 don’t think we’ve been to the market before.”
“We’re still going to your hometown?! How are we going to go there? We don’t have any means of transportation. We might be dead by the time we arrive!” “Sigh, when will the officials step in? Although I’ve brought back quite a number of things, I still feel uneasy…”
“Why don’t we go to the suburbs to take a look? 1 remember that there were a fewrge supermarkets over there. Weren’t Walmart and Sam’s Club supermarkets over there too?”
“Yeah, why go back to your hometown? Why don’t we go to the suburbs? 1 remember it’s not very far. My family used to go shopping on weekends. It’s only about a half-hour’s drive!”
“A half-hour’s drive, but now… How do we get there?”
“Yeah, we don’t even have any means of transportation. How are we going to get there?”
“Transportation? I remember that Little Ye has one, right?”
“That’s right! Didn’t Little Ye have a snowmobile? We can borrow it from him!”
Ye Xingchen looked at the message that popped up in the group and raised his eyebrows.
As expected, this group of people still had their eyes on him in the end.
That was true. He had long been targeted by them. Now that they had eaten their fill, it was normal for them to forget the kindness he had given them.
After all, they were just ungrateful things.
The people in the group had already started to mention Ye Xingchen, and the message notifications kept ringing.
Lin Sijia broke off a piece of orange and fed it to Ye Xingchen. She naturally leaned over and looked at the messages on the phone screen with him.
Lin Sijia couldn’t help but frown as she looked over. Ye Xingchen chuckled and gently pinched her knitted eyebrows.
“What’s wrong? You’re frowning so much that you can pinch a fly to death.” “What are they doing? Are they burning the bridge after crossing it? Did they forget that you brought back supplies for them? Now, they even want your snowmobile.”
“Yes, they want it, but 1 don’t want to give it to them.”
Looking at the phone screen, he saw that someone had alreadye to private chat with him.
“Brother Ye, can 1 borrow your snowmobile?”
“Little Ye, 1 am your Big Brother Mo. Can 1 borrow your snowmobile?”
“Brother Xingchen, can you lend your snowmobile to our Little Hu? We’ll definitely return it to you in good condition!”
Ye Xingchen couldn’t be bothered to open the private chat one by one. He just browsed through it and found that there were no people he was familiar with, so he clicked and marked them as read.
Then, he opened the group chat.
“Are you looking for me?”
“There’s too many messages. 1 saw a lot of @ s, and I’m toozy to read them.”
The two messages were sent out; as expected, those shameless neighbors swarmed over like maggots.
“Yes, yes, I was looking for you! Brother Ye, can 1 borrow your snowmobile?”
“I’ve been looking for you too. Brother Xingchen, can you lend me your snowmobile?”
“Please, please, Brother Xingchen, lend me your snowmobile!”
Ye Xingchen had just sent out two sentences when many new messages appeared below.
He couldn’t be bothered to look at it, so he browsed it and asked in the group. “Why should 1 lend my snowmobile to you?”
“What can you bring me? Or do you want to take my snowmobile for free?”
