Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

“Son, don’t be impulsive. Is there any possibility that Lin Luo’s house has a generator? If I turn off his power, it won’t have any impact.”

Grandma Wang thought of a possibility.

“What you say makes sense. Lin Luo was so well-prepared; it’s impossible that he prepared so much food but didn’t prepare any power generation equipment.”

Li Hongwei nodded and said.

"Then wouldn't we be able to threaten Lin Luo?"

"It's not that it's not a threat. No matter how well Lin Luo is prepared, the energy at home is limited and can't keep generating electricity indefinitely."

"You mean we're talking about peace talks?"

There's nothing we can do about it.

Li Hongwei sighed helplessly.

If the stalemate continues, neither side will benefit.

Are you sure Lin Luo will compromise?

Aunt Wang asked uncertainly.

"As I mentioned before, Lin Luo needs energy to generate electricity, and the energy used for generating electricity is diesel, gasoline and the like. His family has prepared so much food, so these things are definitely not going to last long. Continuing to stalemate will not benefit either side."

Li Hongwei said confidently.

He felt that he had set too high a demand, which led to Lin Luo's refusal to cooperate.

If I lower my demands a little, Lin Luo will definitely agree.

"Then why don't you make a call now? It would be best to ask for more supplies. Once we get them, we'll sell them to Shan Mingliang and make a killing."

Aunt Wang said happily.

"We'll keep two days' worth of food and sell the rest to Shan Mingliang. Once the Ice Age is over, we'll never have to rent in this lousy neighborhood again."

Li Hongwei nodded with a smile.

"Xiao Wang, I'm still feeling unwell even after taking cold medicine. I'm probably frostbitten. Do you think I should call the hospital?"

"I'm dying," Grandpa Gao said.

"It's so cold outside, who would go to work? If you're not comfortable staying at my place, go back to your own home."

Aunt Wang said with a look of disgust.

"I don't have the strength to go home. I must have caught a cold when I turned off the electricity meter. Now I feel cold all over and have no strength in my hands and feet."

Grandpa Gao said weakly.

"Then shut up."

Aunt Wang said in a harsh tone.

At this time, Grandpa Gao caught a cold and needed someone to take care of him, which was a burden for Grandma Wang and her son.

The main reason was that Grandpa Gao's power outage didn't have much effect, which is why Grandma Wang and her son didn't have a good attitude.

Li Hongwei dialed Lin Luo's number again, and it took three or four tries to get through.

"Lin Luo, are you deliberately ignoring my calls?"

He had barely finished speaking when Lin Luo hung up the phone.

"This was absolutely intentional. They thought they had the upper hand and could act with impunity." Li Hongwei was furious, his face turning red.

“Son, let’s not worry about principles now. We just need to get as much food as possible. If we can get enough food now, we can have a better life in the future,” Aunt Wang advised from the side.

"you're right."

Li Hongwei could only suppress his displeasure and dial Lin Luo's number again.

He made several more calls before Lin Luo finally answered.

"Lin Luo, I'm not threatening you right now. You see, it's better for us to resolve our feud than to let it fester. Continuing to make trouble won't benefit anyone. If you keep putting up with me, have you ever thought about what will happen when the Ice Age ends? Just send me the barbecue you had yesterday, and I'll go and turn on the electricity for you."

Having learned from his previous mistakes, Li Hongwei cut to the chase without any preamble.

"What are you thinking, young man? A million for just one power source? That's too easy money," Lin Luo mocked with a smile.

"Then give my family fifty catties of spare ribs or pork, twenty catties of cabbage, ten boxes of instant noodles, and five boxes of instant hot pot," Li Hongwei said through gritted teeth.

“Son, this isn’t enough. The things you brought can only be exchanged for a maximum of 100,000 yuan,” Aunt Wang said anxiously from the side.

"Mom, don't say anything yet. Let's try our best to get the things now," Li Hongwei said softly.

"Haha, you're dreaming. You think you can get 100,000 yuan worth of food by turning off a power meter?" Lin Luo laughed.

"Lin Luo, don't be ungrateful. I'm telling you patiently now, if this stalemate continues, it won't benefit anyone. This is my minimum requirement."

"Actually, it will only do you no good. It won't affect me at all. If you want to keep the meter off, then keep it off."

“I don’t mean something as simple as turning off the electricity meter. Have you thought about what kind of danger you will face when the Ice Age ends?” Li Hongwei threatened.

"You're scaring me! Hurry up and come to my door." Lin Luo replied with a smile.

"I hope you stay at home forever and never come out."

"It's so cold outside, I'll definitely stay home. I have food and drinks. You know I'm having Western food tonight. A steak costs over a thousand yuan. It's fatty but not greasy, and it's served with black pepper sauce. It's so delicious."

After holding back for a long time, Li Hongwei said with a flushed face, "You just wait."

"Ok, no problem."

Lin Luo smiled.

"Kid, let me tell you, you'll regret this someday. Then you'll know where the 'recklessness' in my 'reckless man' comes from."

Li Hongwei threatened again.

"Xiao Wang, this blanket is really uncomfortable, I can hardly breathe. Could you fix it for me? Also, could you make me a bowl of ginger soup? Ginger soup can help with colds."

"You old geezer, it's better if you don't talk, because I get angry as soon as you open your mouth. You can't help with anything, and we have to take care of you."

Two familiar voices came from the other end of the phone.

"Aren't these Grandpa Gao and Grandma Wang?"

Lin Luo didn't miss the chance to mock: "Hongwei, you're really something. Your dad has been dead for so long, and your mom has finally found you a father. From now on, you're not a child without a father."

"Holy crap, are you tired of living?"

Li Hongwei slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Don't get agitated. Grandpa Gao has no children, no car, no house, no pension, and he has worked hard even if he hasn't done anything particularly meritorious. Your mother is at the age where she is as vigorous as a wolf, and it is all thanks to your Grandpa Gao's help."

“Also, since you’re living off your parents and have no income, Grandpa Gao has helped you a lot. He’s always given you whatever he has at home. He treats you like his own son. Now that Grandpa Gao is sick, you should treat him well.”

"Grandpa Gao treats you like his son, so you should treat Grandpa Gao well, just like a son should care for his father. Do you understand?"

Lin Luo said, "Killing someone means destroying their spirit."

"I am going to kill you!"

Li Hongwei said through gritted teeth.

"Lin Luo, don't talk nonsense. Grandpa Gao and I are innocent."

Aunt Wang hurriedly explained.

"Auntie, what are you saying? It's like everyone knows about your little scandals. Your affair with Grandpa Gao has been known for a long time, and no one in our neighborhood knows about it."

Lin Luo laughed even louder.

"Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Aunt Wang said angrily.

"Auntie, that's a bit unfair of you. Others say it's fine, but I say it's a problem."

Lin Luo showed no fear whatsoever.
