Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

"How about this, I'll deliver the items to your house, and we'll make the transaction on the spot. I'm afraid someone else might take them," Lin Luo said, feigning concern.

"Lin Luo, do you really think I'm stupid? A face-to-face transaction isn't giving you the opportunity to threaten me. Right now, you only have the obligation to obey, not the right to voice your opinions."

Li Hongwei felt a wave of fear as he recalled what had happened before.

“Well said. Don’t drag your feet. If you don’t get it done today, your house will be without power forever. You deserve to freeze to death,” Aunt Wang chimed in from the side.

The two didn't give Lin Luo a chance to speak and hung up the phone immediately.

"Do you think Lin Luo wouldn't bring so much food?" Aunt Wang asked uncertainly.

"Mom, don't worry. Lin Luo isn't a superhero. How could he withstand such cold weather? He needs to be alive to eat all the food he can get," Li Hongwei said, patting his chest.

“Hongwei is right. Lin Luo is so arrogant, we definitely need to teach him a lesson.”

Grandpa Gao works for the property management and controls the electricity, so he knows which meter Lin Luo uses.

He braved the extremely cold weather to turn off Lin Luo's electricity meter.

"Thanks to Grandpa Gao, otherwise we really couldn't have dealt with Lin Luo. If he hadn't handed over the food, it would have been better to let him freeze to death," said Grandma Wang maliciously.

"Uncle Gao, you've worked hard earlier, please get some rest."

Li Hongwei also became much more polite.

He was bothered that his mother and Grandpa Gao were lovers, mainly because Grandpa Gao was poor.

Li Hongwei was still hoping that Aunt Wang could remarry so he could earn some money to support himself.

Grandpa Gao has no children and no extra assets; the house was provided by the community as a temporary residence.

If Grandma Wang marries Grandpa Gao, he will not only gain no benefit, but he will also have to take care of her in her old age and see her off when she dies.

Now that Grandpa Gao has just helped him, Li Hongwei can't say anything bad about him.

"I'm freezing! Do you have a hot water bottle at home?"

Grandpa Gao is already seventy years old, and it's inevitable that he's showing signs of aging and losing his good looks.

He ran outside just now and he's completely frozen.

"some."

Grandma Wang quickly brought over a hot water bottle and turned on the small heater for Grandpa Gao.

But Grandpa Gao seemed to be frozen, his body was still trembling violently.

"Son, have you seen the message in the owners' group? Shan Mingliang is buying up food at least 35 times the price, especially the barbecue that Lin Luo ate. Shan Mingliang is willing to buy it for one million. He really has money to burn."

Aunt Wang said enviously.

“I see. All the money Lin Luo doesn’t earn will go into our pockets, and Lin Luo will at least be half-frozen to death, so he’ll know what happens when he messes with us.”

Li Hongwei said menacingly.

The two had no intention of letting Lin Luo go; they first tried to extort a small sum from him.

Once Lin Luo fell for the trick and delivered the food to them, this was just the beginning.

The two men will continue to blackmail Lin Luo until he can produce nothing more, at which point they will stop.

About two hours passed, and both Aunt Wang and her son had exhausted all their plans, but Lin Luo still hadn't shown up.

"Is Lin Luo going to fight us to the end by not bringing us the food?" Aunt Wang said angrily.

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer. Lin Luo will definitely get too cold," Li Hongwei said solemnly.

"Son, do you think we shouldn't ask for too much, so that Lin Luo can't afford it? Should we ask for less?"

"This is a matter of principle, and we definitely cannot be left out, otherwise the initiative will fall into Lin Luo's hands."

Li Hongwei rejected Wang Dama's suggestion and continued to wait for Lin Luo's call.

"Xiao Wang, I still feel cold. Could you get me two blankets?"

Grandpa Gao weakly reached out his hand.

"Take it."

Grandma Wang, impatient, went to the storage room, took two blankets, and threw them on Grandpa Gao.

Another hour passed, and the two still hadn't seen Lin Luo arrive.

Finally, Li Hongwei couldn't hold back any longer and dialed Lin Luo's number.

"Lin Luo, do you still want electricity at home? I'm giving you one hour to deliver the food I need to my house, otherwise even if you deliver it later, I won't turn on the electricity," Li Hongwei asked in an unfriendly tone.

"Who told you my house is out of power?"

Lin Luo smiled.

"Are you really stupid or just pretending? I turned off your electricity meter, how could you possibly have electricity?"

Li Hongwei said in disbelief.

"It's okay if you don't believe me, I'll send you a photo."

Lin Luo took a picture of the living room and sent it to Li Hongwei's phone.

The appliances in Lin Luo's home are working normally in the photo, and it doesn't look like there's no electricity at all.

"What's going on?" Li Hongwei was completely bewildered.

"Impossible!" Aunt Wang exclaimed in surprise.

"Ask that guy surnamed Gao, what's the reason for this?"

Li Hongwei said angrily.

"Xiao Wang, you're here. This blanket is uncomfortable. Could you help me adjust it?"

"I'm dying," Grandpa Gao said.

"oh oh."

Aunt Wang casually straightened the blankets and asked, "Grandpa, are you sure you turned off Lin Luo's electricity meter? Why is there still electricity in Lin Luo's house?"

"I'm not senile, I'm not so dense that I wouldn't know whose electricity meter is turned off."

Grandpa Gao said weakly.

"Could it be that Lin Luo deliberately tricked us? This photo was taken a while ago to give us the illusion that his house has electricity, but in reality, Lin Luo's house has been without electricity for a long time."

Li Hongwei concluded.

"Very likely. Lin Luo is too despicable, resorting to such underhanded tricks."

Aunt Wang nodded and said.

"Lin Luo, I'm telling you, don't try to fool us with old photos. We're not stupid; we won't believe in such conspiracies," Li Hongwei said angrily.

"Who told you that was a previous photo? This is one I just took." Lin Luo looked bewildered.

"That's the photo I just took. You're not stupid, you're just a moron, okay?"

"Damn it, you actually dared to call me brain-dead. I was going to be merciful and give you an hour, but now I'm only giving you half an hour. If you don't deliver what I need in half an hour, don't even think about having electricity at home."

Li Hongwei decisively hung up the phone again.

"Neuropathy!"

Lin Luo shook his head helplessly.

He suddenly felt a bit hot again, so he opened the window a little.

The space station security company's safe house is so well insulated that it could create a "greenhouse effect" over time.

Before we knew it, the indoor temperature had reached 38 degrees Celsius, which was obviously too hot.

Lin Luo had to open some windows to let in fresh air and cool down.

"Showing off delicious food every day is really vulgar, so let's show it off in a different way."

Lin Luo took a picture of the living room thermometer and then a picture of the small crack left in the window.

He added another photo of the snowy outside and sent all three photos together.

Of course, Lin Luo didn't forget to add text, which would better express her feelings at that moment.

"Everyone should be careful. Setting the heater and air conditioner too high can easily cause the house to be too warm and have too much carbon dioxide. You should open the windows appropriately."
