Chapter 50: Metal Box
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhang Yi frowned as he sized up Ye Xingchen’s metal residence. He felt that it was a thorny problem.
He did not care about the lives of others. At this moment, he only wanted to snatch Ye Xingchen’s good house for himself.
Wasn’t this the kind of safe and unbreakable residence that he had always wanted after Liu Qilong and his son came to steal from him?
“What are you guys in such a hurry for? This is just the beginning.”
“So what if the walls and doors of his house are made of steel?”
“What about his roof? And the floor?”
“I don’t believe he can make a big metal box!”
Ye Xing Chen nodded at Zhang Yi through the screen and praised. “No wonder he was able to lead so many people here in his previous life. His brain is quite good. Sigh, what a pity.”
Everyone who was awakened by Zhang Yi’s statement began to dig down the snow. Some people began to climb up the walls of Ye Xingchen’s house, but more people chose to dig down.
A long time passed. Ye Xingchen had even finished watching two movies and eating a meal in the house. The people outside had just dug the snow to the ground and cleared a wide and deep passage.
Ye Xingchen stood on the stairs and looked down. He was in a good mood.
The snow that had buried the first floor had been cleared by them. The first floor, which had originally been dark because of the snow, now had a few strands of dim light pouring out from the window of the small room.
Ye Xingchen’s face lit up. He quickly took the elevator to the first floor. After exiting the elevator, he quickly walked to the balcony that had been converted into a room. Through several layers of bulletproof glass, he waved at the people who were still digging hard.
He took the communication device and turned on the two-way call. The first thing he said was to greet the person outside. “Hello, long time no see, my neighbors.”
Ye Xingchen walked over and knocked on the extremely thick bulletproof glass. He was glad that he did not put an anti-peep film on this window. Otherwise, the neighbors outside would not be able to see his comfortable appearance at this time.
“Oh hey, why are you all wearing so much? Is it very cold outside?”
Those who were still shoveling snow outside had already run over and slapped the glass to scold Ye Xingchen.
“Sigh, it’s quite hot inside.”
Ye Xingchen pretended to bend down, but in fact, he took out some fried chicken and a bottle of iced Coke from his space.
“Way to go, way to go! Haha, thank you so much. I was still worried that no one would come to sweep the snow at my house, but you guys came. Sigh, you guys are so nice!”
Ye Xingchen was filled with regret! If he had known that they were so fast at shoveling snow, he would have eaten later and let them see how delicious it was! He probably could only eat a few more mouthfuls of fried chicken now!
The group of people outside were screaming in anger at Ye Xingchen. Some of them were beating the window glass and cursing, while others were smashing the ground even harder.
Unfortunately, after Ye Xingchen slowly finished the fried chicken, they realized that the house’s underground part was also laid with a layer of metal.
Ye Xingchen’s house seemed to have been cast from a mold on a thick piece of metal. The front, back, left, right, and even the bottom were all made of metal. There were no blind spots.
After Ye Xingchen finished eating, he clapped his hands and left the small room, locking the door from the inside. Then, he slowly went to the second floor.
This time, he directly pressed the switch and turned on the switch on the living room wall. A thick metal wall rose up from where the floor-to-ceiling glass should have been. Immediately, the thick bulletproof glass in the middle appeared in front of everyone.
Ye Xingchen dragged the chaise lounge over and lay down in the middle of the living room. He even pulled a thin blanket over her abdomen.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll take a nap first.”
Most of the people were still on the first floor, unwilling to give up and digging into the ground. Only a few of them climbed up the snow dejectedly.
Ma Chaowen, Zhang Yi, and the others were naturally on the snowy surface. At this moment, they were staring at Ye Xingchen, who was lying down comfortably in a thin sleeping robe across a wide passageway.
“Aah damn it! Hurry up and make them come up! Cover it with snow again!”
“Damn Ye Xingchen! Why can you sleep so comfortably? What right do you have!”
“Why don’t you have to be cold? Why should we starve and freeze?”
The snow that had been cleared not long ago was now filled in again. The filling of snow was faster than the shoveling of snow, but in the end, people’s physical strength was exhausted very quickly in this extremely cold weather. Even if it was fast, it was not much faster.
“Ha…”
Ye Xingchen woke up and stretched his back, only to see that the passageway that had been cleared out was about to be filled back in. He felt a little regretful and said, “I’m already awake. Why haven’t you guys finished filling it back? You’re too slow. With your work efficiency, you would have been fired by the boss long ago!”
The scolding that had just stopped sounded again. Ye Xingchen calmly got up to wash up and even made a cup of coffee.
Before the passageway could be filled up, someone had already impatiently picked up a hammer and shovel and smashed it on Ye Xingchen’s floor-to-ceiling glass.
Ye Xingchen placed the coffee on the coffee table and took out a dessert rack and a pot of black tea.
That was right, he didn’t see it clearly when he ordered the dishes previously. He had ordered quite a number of such afternoon set meals. Ye Xingchen didn’t like sweet food, so he hadn’t touched them all this time. However, with this live performance to watch today, this afternoon tea set really fulfilled the scene.
“Good luck!”
Ye Xingchen put the coffee aside and poured himself a cup of black tea to drink. Then, he took out a sandwich from the bottom of the shelf and took a bite.
“Sigh, why is there so much afternoon tea? 1 can’t finish it.”
“It’s a pity that you can’t enter. If only you could come in. You could share some of my burdens. Otherwise, it would be a pity to throw it away when I can’t eat it.”
There were faces plastered on the glass. Those who couldn’t see clearly earlier could now see him clearly. Their faces were pale and their facial features were distorted. They stared at the exquisite snacks in front of Ye Xingchen with wide eyes.
Ye Xingchen looked at them. They didn’t look alive at all. Other than the fact that they were still breathing, they were no different from corpses. He thought that if there were really zombies in this world, they would probably look like this.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Ding!” “Pa!”
Piercing sounds fell on the windows one after another. In the wind and snow, these madmen were trying their best to smash the glass.
Previously, their desire was not so obvious, but now, with only a layer of glass separating them, they could see how extravagant Ye Xingchen’s life was at this moment!
