Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

"There are still quite a few people who are clear-headed, but they are not clear-headed enough. If they were clear-headed enough, they would have prepared everything before the 'Ice Age,' instead of waiting until now."

Lin Luo took out a bottle of 1982 Lafite and poured himself a glass.

The reheated steak releases an enticing aroma.

He put the cut steak into his mouth and savored it carefully.

The steak was perfectly tender, melting in your mouth, and the rich black pepper flavor was irresistible.

Lin Luo took another sip of red wine. The red wine was fragrant, delicious, sweet, and refreshing.

Outside, it was freezing cold, and the temperature had dropped to below minus forty degrees Celsius.

The room where Lin Luo was located had already reached a temperature of 27 or 28 degrees Celsius.

He ate his steak and drank red wine, and felt a little warm.

Lin Luo sat on the extremely soft, luxurious sofa, looking at the beautiful snow scene outside the window.

He kept hearing notifications from the owners' group on WeChat, so he opened the group to check.

The number of messages in the homeowners' group has reached 999+, so you need to start looking from the top.

There's very little chatting in the residents' group; sometimes there isn't a single message all day.

The sheer volume of information in homeowner groups these days is undoubtedly largely due to the influence of the Ice Age.

The initial messages weren't particularly interesting; they were mostly just things like "It's snowing!" and "How happy I am!"

Some people even made plans to play in the snow together the next day.

Lin Luo wasn't surprised; he had been the same way in his previous life.

At the beginning of the Ice Age, everyone was quite optimistic.

Seven days later, everyone lost their optimism.

The Ice Age did not end on the eighth day as experts had predicted.

Lin Luo scrolled to a very long message that took up almost half of the phone screen. It was a message from an old acquaintance, Aunt Wang.

"Hello everyone, I'm Aunt Wang from the property management. The next seven days will be the 'ice age,' with the outside temperature dropping to minus forty degrees Celsius. I know many of you have heard this news in advance. Please stay home during these seven days, keep warm, and if you encounter any problems, please feel free to contact us at the property management office."

"Aunt Wang is a good person. Even in such cold weather, she is doing her job to the end."

"We live so comfortably in Xingfu Community because of Aunt Wang's excellent property management."

"Don't worry, Aunt Wang, we definitely won't go out and will follow the property management's arrangements."

.....

Aunt Wang's words were quite eloquent, and she immediately won the "support" of the crowd.

"I am Grandpa Gao. As you all know, I also work in the property management. I think some people are too busy with work to prepare seven days' worth of food, so I can say something about it."

Grandpa Gao also made an appearance.

"Uncle Gao, I've been so busy with work lately that I haven't prepared enough food. My family is almost out of food. Could the property management provide me with some food so I can last for seven days?"

"That's what a homeowner named Zhou Lidong said."

He had just received his salary not long ago, and his goddess Xu Shuangyu said he was facing a debt crisis.

To show his favoritism towards the goddess, he immediately transferred all the money to Xu Shuangyu.

Zhou Lidong only had 100 yuan left, but he could still manage to get by for a month.

The electronics factory usually has an employee canteen, and meals eaten there can have a month's salary deducted from your wages.

If he has a two or three-day break, Zhou Lidong can easily make do with instant noodles.

Later, he heard that there was an ice age, so he borrowed five or six hundred yuan from one of his older sisters.

Zhou Lidong originally planned to buy some simple junk food to get through the seven days.

When the goddess Xu Shuangyu was in trouble again, he stepped forward without hesitation and lent her all the money he had.

Now that the Ice Age has ended, Zhou Lidong is completely dumbfounded.

Keeping warm is secondary; just cover yourself with more blankets.

However, the food problem was difficult to solve; there were only three or four packs of instant noodles at home, which could only last for two days at most.

During these seven days of the "Ice Age," he would have to go hungry for five days.

Lin Luo also recognized this guy, Zhou Lidong, one of Xu Shuangyu's many sycophants.

He is somewhat unattractive and comes from a poor family. He works in a nearby electronics factory.

He's not particularly accomplished, but he's hardworking and usually very polite to people.

Zhou Lidong is a hardworking and honest man, but even this honest man has his hateful aspects.

As soon as he received his monthly salary, he couldn't wait to transfer it to Xu Shuangyu.

My parents are hospitalized and need someone to take care of them.

He didn't care whether he lived or died; his three older sisters took care of him.

The medical expenses for the two elderly people were all paid by their three older sisters; Zhou Lidong never contributed a single penny.

Moreover, Zhou Lidong would borrow money from his sister from time to time in order to get close to the goddess Xu Shuangyu.

This week, Li Dong wasn't too busy with work and forgot to buy supplies; he simply didn't have the money to buy them.

“You’re a member of Xingfu Community, so your problems are everyone’s problems. Don’t worry, I’ll help you solve the problem right away,” Aunt Wang replied.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang, you are truly a kind person," Zhou Lidong immediately expressed his gratitude.

"No need for thanks, this is what our property management should do," Grandpa Gao said, taking it all in stride.

"Thank you, Uncle Gao!"

Zhou Lidong expressed his gratitude once again.

"It was cold outside, but the actions of Grandma Wang and Grandpa Gao were very heartwarming."

"No one is a better person than Grandma Wang and Grandpa Gao. I must post this online so that everyone knows."

"I'm so sorry, Aunt Wang and Uncle Gao are such good people. I even suspected that they had ulterior motives for making charitable donations."

...

All the homeowners praised Aunt Wang and Uncle Gao.

"Apart from Zhou Lidong, anyone who needs help can come to us."

Aunt Wang said.

"My family has enough food, but we don't have enough warm clothes and blankets. I hope the property management can help us."

“My family didn’t keep the house warm enough yesterday, and my wife caught a cold and had a fever. I wonder if the property management could provide some cold medicine.”

“My family is in a similar situation to Mr. Zhou’s. We prepared food, but it’s not enough. Could the property management provide some more?”

"We don't have enough fruit at home. My child loves fruit, so it would be great if we had some."

...

Seeing that there was a chance to profit, everyone started making a fuss about something that wasn't happening.

Of course, some families are genuinely in dire need of help.

“Those two old folks, Aunt Wang and Uncle Gao, who are ruthless and cruel, have suddenly changed their ways and become saints.”

Lin Luo took a small sip of red wine, feeling a warm sensation all over her body.

In their past lives, Aunt Wang and Uncle Gao were definitely ruthless people.

For the first seven days, the two were "nice guys," providing thoughtful service to everyone.

Whenever anyone in a family is in trouble, the two of them do their best to help.

Of course, both of them were quite principled; they made verbal promises of help but provided absolutely no actual assistance.

Many people are grateful to them, but in reality, they get no benefit from them at all.

If anyone says that Aunt Wang and her partner only talk the talk but don't walk the walk, they will be kicked out of the WeChat group.

The two men didn't forget to say that this person had received a favor but didn't know how to appreciate it, pushing all the blame onto others.

Anyway, that person has already been kicked out of the WeChat group, so it's up to the two of them to decide who's right and who's wrong.

What Lin Luo remembered most vividly was the bizarre actions of Aunt Wang and her companion; he was also a victim of their schemes.
