Ice Apocalypse (Season 1)

Chapter 96: Should They All Be Killed?

After careful consideration, Zhang Yi arrived at a satisfactory conclusion. As long as he remained in Building 25, utilizing his firepower and the strength of the secure shelter, even if people from the other 29 buildings united, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Simply put, in the current situation of extreme food scarcity and freezing temperatures, going out for just a few steps in the biting cold was a tremendous ordeal.

Twenty people combined couldn't match the strength he had as a lone individual in the past.

"My personal safety is not an issue. At worst, I can ride the motorcycle, break through their siege, and use my weapons to engage in guerrilla warfare, slowly wearing them down."

"But doing so is too troublesome. How long do I have to keep killing people from Building 29?"

"However, if I don't kill them, they will definitely come to attack me."

Zhang Yi pondered deeply.

Should he spend some time and effort eliminating people in the community who posed a threat to him, or should he consider other options?

For the time being, Zhang Yi hadn't made up his mind. He glanced at his phone and decided to have a chat with Li Jian.

He needed to see if all the building leaders shared the same mindset.

Zhang Yi opened the chat with Li Jian, ignoring him for now. However, Li Jian was actively introducing their situation.

"Mr. Zhang, I approach you with sincerity, hoping to cooperate in building a harmonious home, a post-apocalyptic utopia."

"In Building 18, only five elderly people have died so far due to complications caused by the extreme cold."

"We have achieved harmonious coexistence through rational planning and distribution of resources."

"I believe this is the best way to survive in the apocalypse, preserving the flame of human civilization. It also benefits the reconstruction work after the snow disaster."

"Now, we lack an effective source of food. As a gesture of cooperation, we can provide manpower and resources to meet your various demands."

"We can also coordinate relations with other building units to avoid conflicts."

After reading Li Jian's introduction, Zhang Yi felt more comfortable. Indeed, as the financial director of a large corporation, Li Jian's emotional intelligence was much higher than Chen Lingyu, who was involved in MLM schemes.

Clear organization, concise presentation of interests, and a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

However, what Zhang Yi cared most about was Li Jian's mention of building a harmonious home. In the past twenty days since the apocalypse, not a single person in their building had died in conflicts!

Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Keren, who was diligently massaging his feet. "Keren, do you know the situation in Building 18?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Keren said, "I've heard some things. It's said that the head of their building is a very charismatic person. After the apocalypse, he united all the residents, adopting a method of unified resource distribution, allowing the majority of people to survive until now."

Zhang Yi sighed, "Indeed, it's commendable. Managing accounting not only requires knowing how to manage but also understanding how to maximize benefits."

In reality, Li Jian's approach was the most rational one. Other buildings, such as Building 25 where Zhang Yi was located, wasted a lot of resources due to conflicts and internal strife.
