Ice Apocalypse (Season 1)

Chapter 17: Lin Dama, Afraid of the Strong

Zhang Yi regarded Lin Dama's words as nothing more than hot air. However, with nothing better to do, he decided to toy with the old woman a bit.

"Well, well, Lin Dama, you're quite bold! Since you're so capable, why don't you call Chen Zhaohao and Xu Hao to come down and shovel the snow?" He called them out by name in the group, without any regard for their dignity.

Chen Zhaohao, nicknamed "Hao Ge," was a well-known troublemaker in the neighborhood. He led the charge when they invaded Zhang Yi's home, wielding an axe.

Xu Hao, an arrogant and wealthy second-generation young man, was the first to attack Zhang Yi with a knife.

In short, most of these neighbors, except for a few good ones, had either participated in attacking or robbing Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi could even guess that after his death in his previous life, each of them had taken a share of the spoils.

So, Zhang Yi didn't spare anyone their dignity. He tore off their fig leaves and disgusted them openly.

Lin Dama looked at her phone, and her face immediately changed.

Zhang Yi called them out by name, putting her in a difficult position. To retreat now would mean becoming a laughingstock. Moreover, nobody would listen to her commands in the future.

She had no choice but to tag Chen Zhaohao and Xu Hao in the group and plead for help.

"Dear neighbors, the community is like my home, and shoveling snow depends on everyone. I hope those with free time can bring tools and help shovel snow together."

After a while, Chen Zhaohao, ID 25#602, responded with a few question marks. Then, a voice message appeared in the group.

"Shoveling snow? Shovel your x! Are you blind? Can't you see it's still snowing heavily outside?"

"Fck, do you have a mental problem? If you're sick, go see a doctor instead of barking here. Tag me again, and I'll fcking kill you, believe it or not."

Chen Zhaohao cursed Lin Dama in the group mercilessly. The residents burst into laughter after hearing it.

This Lin Dama thought highly of herself, but others didn't care about her at all. As a mere member of the neighborhood committee, she had some influence over ordinary residents, but the socially experienced people like Chen Zhaohao wouldn't even glance at her.

Xu Hao, the second-generation rich kid, also sent a voice message.

"Why should I care about shoveling snow? I don't need to work. I can sleep at home every day."

After saying that, he even posted a picture of himself lying in a thick quilt, holding a woman in his arms.

This house was bought by Xu Hao to keep mistresses. He was just coincidentally trapped here.

When Aunt Li asked him to shovel snow, he thought she was crazy.

Lin Dama was scolded by Chen Zhaohao and dared not argue back. She still stubbornly said, "Regardless, you're also a member of the community! Shoveling snow is your duty."

Xu Hao disdainfully replied, "Hah! I pay property management fees every month for nothing, right? Without my money, you people from the neighborhood committee would starve to death."

"Damn, acting high and mighty with the homeowners' money, considering yourself the master. It's a joke!"

These rich second-generation kids were not to be underestimated, even though Xu Hao was idle. They had seen the world and wouldn't bother with a small neighborhood committee woman.

He taunted, "If you want to shovel snow, do it quickly. You need to go out and earn your meal money! After shoveling the snow, I can leave this ghost place."

Everyone was infuriated by Xu Hao's arrogant words, but they were powerless to refute them. Who asked these people to be born into a better situation?

After Chen Zhaohao and Xu Hao caused a scene, everyone's enthusiasm was dampened. Lin Dama's words became meaningless, and no one paid attention.

Lin Dama was furious. However, she didn't blame Chen Zhaohao and Xu Hao; instead, she blamed Zhang Yi.

She felt that she had successfully mobilized the residents, but Zhang Yi, the troublemaker, ruined everything.

So, she sent a private message to Zhang Yi, asking angrily, "Zhang Yi, are you intentionally making trouble with me?"

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? I asked everyone to shovel the snow, isn't it for everyone to leave their homes?"

"Now it's messed up. Everyone refuses to do it. Are we supposed to be stuck at home forever?"

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Oh, someone is here to be scolded voluntarily?"

"Don't act like you're something! You're nothing but a coward who fears the strong and bullies the weak. Why are you barking here?"

"If you're afraid of being scolded, don't come to me. I'll beat you to death!"

Zhang Yi understood Lin Dama's character well. She was nothing but a coward who feared the strong and bullied the weak. After hearing Zhang Yi's harsh words, Lin Dama was terrified.

She, an old lady living with her grandson, relied on her position in the neighborhood committee for some face. But if someone didn't care about her committee position and played rough with her, she wouldn't be able to withstand it.

She dared not speak any longer, seemingly afraid that Zhang Yi might get angry.

Lin Dama quickly blocked Zhang Yi to avoid further confrontation, trembling from either the cold or fear.

"This bastard! He's just a troublemaker, a lunatic!"

"Don't provoke him now. Wait, I'll find a way to make you miserable in the future!"

Lin Dama envisioned troubling Zhang Yi through her position in the neighborhood committee. For example, delaying the distribution of essential supplies or not informing him of good community activities.

She imagined Zhang Yi regretfully begging her to spare him, but she would coldly shut the door and say, "Aren't you arrogant? Continue being arrogant!"

Lin Dama enjoyed this triumphant fantasy and smiled gleefully.

"Hehe, sooner or later, you'll come begging to me!"

"Now I won't argue with you. Let's see how you'll have a hard time in the future!"

Lin Dama used this self-satisfying method of psychological victory.

Then she continued to run to the group, mobilizing other people to shovel the snow.

Although most people despised Lin Dama, many honest people, considering their future travel, still went out in the extremely cold weather with tools to shovel the snow.

Zhang Yi didn't expect that, just as he had driven away Lin Dama, someone else came to stir up trouble.

This time, someone called him on WeChat. He glanced at the profile picture, which turned out to be Chen Zhaohao from the group.

It seemed that Zhang Yi's mention of him in the group had made him unhappy, so he called to intimidate Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi answered the call.
