Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

"Ah, why didn't you call the police sooner and eliminate these people before the Ice Age? That would have made us much safer."

Gao Xiaomei said, sounding very frightened.

She lives on the same floor as Gao Yaoqiang, so if these murderers are around, she will also be affected.

“They live right next to you. If I call the police and they come and find nothing, do you think I’ll still be alive?”

Gao Yaoqiang said, "I'm cowardly and selfish."

"Nowhere is safe these days."

Gao Xiaomei quickly turned to Lin Luo for help, saying, "Auntie said some bad things earlier, and I apologize to you here. Xiao Luo, you can't just stand by and watch me die. There are murderers on this floor who could be watching me at any time."

"Yes, Xiao Luo, please take me in. As long as you let me into your safe house, I'll agree to any request."

Lin Meiyun pleaded.

"Now you know to beg me? Where did your tough attitude go? I'm too lazy to play games with you. We're relatives, but what have you ever done for me? Now you want me to help you? Do you think I'm a saint?"

Lin Luo didn't play games with the three of them and sneered without any politeness.

"People need to help each other. We were wrong before and failed to help you. I apologize to you here. Now is an opportunity for us to reconcile. You helped me, and I will help you next time."

Lin Meiyun didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"That's right, people can't live apart from others. Lin Luo, you helped us this time. If you're in danger, we'll definitely help you."

Gao Xiaomei quickly said.

"Lin Luo, I know you have a safe house. The safe house has a very high security level, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break into it. There are also many supplies in the house. But do you want to hide in it for the rest of your life? Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life?"

Gao Yaoqiang asked in a loud voice.

"So what do you mean I should do?"

Lin Luo discovered that Gao Yaoqiang was a talented person, at least more eloquent than his three other relatives.

"What I mean is that you can use the resources you have to develop your own power. This glacial apocalypse is a disaster for some people, but for others it is an opportunity, a chance to achieve upward social mobility."

Gao Yaoqiang said with some excitement.

"Tell me, how can I take advantage of this opportunity?"

Lin Luo suddenly wanted to hear Gao Yaoqiang's plan.

He used to think that Gao Yaoqiang was just a fishmonger with no substance.

Lin Luo now realizes that he underestimated Gao Yaoqiang, who has many unique insights.

“You have a lot of supplies. These supplies can hire many people to serve you. As long as you have supplies, there will always be people willing to serve you. With people, you can rob others and obtain more resources. You will become the most powerful person in Happy Community.”

“There are some supermarkets and convenience stores outside. These shops are all vacant and have a lot of supplies stored inside. Xiao Luo, you can have your men collect these supplies. Once you become powerful, you can leave the community and your sphere of influence will affect a town, or even a county, district, or city.”

"Within five years, I guarantee you'll become a prominent figure in Jinghai City. Xiao Luo, let me ask you, do you really want to hide in a safe house and guard your own little corner of the world?"

Gao Yaoqiang spoke with great passion, which resonated with the audience.

“You’re right about everything, but there’s one thing you’ve forgotten. People’s hearts are the hardest thing to predict. You’re so sure that just because I have resources, I can make others loyal to me.”

Lin Luo asked.

“That’s a great question. That’s exactly what you need from us relatives. We share the same blood and will always stand by you. We’ll join you first, help you with internal matters, and start developing around you.”

Gao Yaoqiang revealed his true purpose.

“Yes, we are your relatives. Let us join you and become your strongest support,” Gao Xiaomei chimed in.

“Xiao Luo, no matter how much our relatives argue, they can reconcile after a while. Others won’t do that,” Lin Meiyun added.

"Hahaha, I was laughing so hard."

Lin Luo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gao Yaoqiang's voice was somewhat low: "Is there anything wrong with my plan?"

"Your plan isn't bad, but it's practically a dream."

Lin Luo had become somewhat lax after spending so much time in the safe house, but his mind remained very clear.

Gao Yaoqiang's suggestion to establish his own power base sounds like a very good idea.

They give their own resources to others in exchange for their loyalty, hoping to gain more resources in return.

If Lin Luo were to encounter a zombie apocalypse like in a novel, developing his own power would be essential.

Because there are too many zombies, one person's strength is limited.

But Lin Luo was facing a natural disaster and an apocalypse, so having more people was completely useless.

Having more people around Lin Luo only creates more instability and won't provide any other help.

Everyone has their own thoughts and will not be easily controlled by others.

Unless a person is extremely powerful, it is impossible for others to be forced to pledge allegiance.

It is clear that Lin Luo is not someone with strong personal strength; his advantage over others lies in the safe house and abundant supplies.

With the safe house and ample supplies removed, Lin Luo was left with only two homemade guns, three crossbows, and two large machetes.

These weapons look intimidating, but he can only use them against relatively small numbers of opponents.

If the number reaches five, Lin Luo will immediately be in danger.

Putting aside the issue of human nature, the cold outside is unbearable.

Lin Luo gave supplies to others, possibly ensuring that they would willingly die.

Supermarkets and convenience stores have plenty of supplies, but would anyone dare to go and take them?

The weather outside is too cold; going out would be life-threatening, and there's a good chance I wouldn't be able to come back.

Gao Yaoqiang's rhetoric is quite inspiring, and some people might actually take it.

Unfortunately, he encountered the clear-headed Lin Luo, who wouldn't believe a single penny of it.

Building your own power and then becoming a king and hegemon? You think this is a novel?

In reality, this is practically impossible.

If Lin Luo dares to carry out Gao Yaoqiang's plan, he'll be dead by tomorrow, even if he does it today.

There are plenty of supplies in the supermarkets and convenience stores outside, but it's just too dangerous.

Wouldn't it be much safer to target Lin Luo instead?

"Lin Luo, I've been thinking about this plan for so long, you can't just dismiss it with a single sentence. Tell me where my plan falls short," Gao Yaoqiang retorted angrily, unwilling to give up.

"Gao Yaoqiang, you're really naive. You just said you saw what a murderer looked like, but you didn't even have the courage to call the police. You said I recruited you, but what would you do if I were in danger?"

Lin Luo asked.

"I will naturally protect you."

Gao Yaoqiang said humbly.

"Don't talk nonsense, you can only run faster than a rabbit."

Lin Luo directly exposed him.
