Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Chapter 173: Moving to the New Home

Zhang Yi pulled Zhou Ke'er into the car, waving goodbye to Uncle You and Zhou Haimei.

He had been reluctant to use this vehicle before, partly due to fuel economy. This large snow car consumed a lot of fuel, and driving on snow was entirely different from driving on flat ground. Plus, it had been more convenient to use a motorcycle when he was going out alone every day.

However, from now on, he would hardly need to go out, so there was no need to be stingy.

After Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er left, Uncle You looked at Zhou Haimei with eagerness in his eyes, making Zhou Haimei feel a bit embarrassed.

"Let's go back and rest; it's pretty cold outside," Uncle You said, rubbing his hands and chuckling.

Zhou Haimei nodded. Now, she had to adapt and live with Uncle You, regardless of the circumstances. But it only took one day for her to have no complaints whatsoever. Uncle You's awakened ability to strengthen his physique made him exceptionally energetic.

As the saying goes, women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty. Even a woman like Zhou Haimei, who was over forty, was thoroughly impressed by him. She decided to follow him wholeheartedly from then on.

"You can't judge a person by their appearance. You need to get to know them deeply before making a judgment," Zhou Haimei later liked to share her experiences with other women.

Zhang Yi drove the motorhome, taking Zhou Ke'er back. Along the way, Zhou Ke'er excitedly watched everything outside. She had been confined to the neighborhood for so long, with the furthest she had ever been being the fourth floor.

Now that she could go out, her mood brightened significantly as she eagerly looked around, wanting to take in all the scenery. However, soon, her eyes showed disappointment because, between the vast heavens and earth, only ice and snow remained eternal. The traces of human civilization were left as mere steel and concrete, without the bustling streets.

"Zhang Yi, is our new home beautiful?" Zhou Ke'er could only place her hopes on the new residence.

Zhang Yi smiled slightly. "It's big and beautiful. It's much more comfortable than the house we lived in before!"

Zhou Ke'er's eyes lit up.

"No wonder you could be so generous! I was wondering, with your personality, how could you give away a meticulously built safe house."

Zhang Yi corrected her, "I'm not giving it away, just lending it to them temporarily. If we ever need it, we'll come back."

He still had the highest authority and the key to the safe house. Whenever he wanted, he could take it back. It wasn't that he didn't trust Uncle You, but it's prudent to be cautious in the apocalypse. People can change, and he had to be prepared.

"By the way, there's someone new at home. I'm telling you in advance so you can be mentally prepared," Zhang Yi said calmly.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Zhou Ke'er's eyes. "Someone new?"

"Ah! I get it!" She giggled, "Is it the original owner of the house?"

"No, I killed him," Zhang Yi said, suddenly remembering something and pulling over to the side of the road. If it hadn't come up, he might have forgotten to dispose of those bodies.

Zhou Ke'er didn't know what Zhang Yi was doing. She tightened her coat and followed him.

She saw Zhang Yi pull a pile of bodies from the interdimensional space and throw them down a slope into a ditch.

These bodies included those who died in the shelter, as well as Wang Siming, Lin Geng, and Xu Hao.

Zhou Ke'er recognized the three instantly, her eyes widening in surprise.

"You mean the house is Wang Siming's villa?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Zhang Yi asked, habitually clapping his hands.

Zhou Ke'er sighed, shaking her head. "Nothing, it's just hard to believe someone as once influential as him died so easily."

Zhang Yi scoffed, "In the apocalypse, life is cheap, and everyone dies coldly. Don't be sentimental. Just staying alive is enough; who cares about others!"

He left the bodies by the roadside, knowing they would soon be buried by snow.

Back in the car, Zhou Ke'er followed him.

"Is the person you left behind one of his women?" Zhou Ke'er asked, a hint of jealousy in her tone.

Zhang Yi saw her pout through the rearview mirror and found her especially cute.

When he first met her, she was a cool and aloof doctor. But now, their close relationship had made her reliant on him, turning her into a jealous girl. Women are indeed amazing creatures.

"Don't overthink it. I just needed someone to help with the housework," Zhang Yi explained.

Zhou Ke'er pouted, her long black hair falling over her collarbone, looking like an unhappy girl.

Zhang Yi felt a wave of affection.

He smiled, "Don't be upset! She's just a helper. The one I love most is you! My feelings for you are as high as a mountain! How could she compare?"

Zhou Ke'er's pout slowly disappeared, and she asked, "Really?"

Zhang Yi nodded, "Of course! You're young, beautiful, and became an attending physician at a top hospital at a young age. How could I not like such a wonderful girl?"

Zhang Yi was good with words, effortlessly sweet-talking. Perhaps after being deceived by Fang Yuqing, he lost his awe of beautiful women. Without the burden of morality, he was naturally composed and confident.

When pursuing a girl, never be humble; show confidence. Only then can you attract them.

Zhou Ke'er murmured, feeling pleased by Zhang Yi's words.

Though she had a medical PhD, she was inexperienced in relationships. The end-of-the-world bridge effect made her deeply love the dangerous and powerful man beside her.

She hugged his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "I knew you liked me!"

Her sweet face was full of happiness.

Zhang Yi glanced at her, feeling a slight stir in his heart.

Her current demeanor reminded him of his once innocent self.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but question if living selfishly was right.

But soon, he felt at ease.

If being selfish brought more happiness, why not? At least he had never wronged Zhou Ke'er, so he shouldn't be considered a scumbag.
