Chapter 52: In-fighting

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The starving people smelled the sweet scent in the air and carefully swallowed their saliva. No one was willing to admit that a crazy idea had arisen in their hearts at this moment.

They didn’t dare to think about it, but they couldn’t help but look at the twisted corpse with flickering eyes.

Suddenly, a woman in the crowd cried loudly.

“I can’t take it anymore!”

They had been busy for the whole day, fantasizing about how comfortable their lives would be after breaking into Ye Xingchen’s house.

However, the final result made them fall into despair.

So many people had died, but not even a crack appeared on the walls or windows of Ye Xingchen’s house.

She suddenly jumped out of the crowd and stumbled to kneel in front of Ye Xingchen’s French window.

Just when Ye Xingchen thought that she was going to continue working hard, she suddenly kowtowed.

“Please, Xingchen, I really can’t take it anymore. I’m really starving. Please save me! Even if it’s just a small piece of bread!”

With her leading the way, many people ran out of the crowd and knelt in front of Ye Xingchen’s French window. They all begged Ye Xingchen to take pity on them and give them a bite.

This grand occasion was truly a sight to behold and hear.

The cries and pleas outside the window rose and fell. Those people kowtowed until the ground was white and red.

Ye Xingchen sighed, took the communication device, and turned on the two-way communication before walking to them. “Everyone, don’t be like this.

1 feel so uncomfortable looking at you.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, he came over with a pot of steaming food and sat down in front of the French window.

“Whenever I feel uncomfortable, I especially want to eat.”

“Slurp–”

Ye Xingchen placed the pot on the ground. He crossed his legs and picked up his chopsticks. A large mouthful of noodles with minced meat was sucked into his mouth.

Inside the house, Ye Xingchen was eating the noodles in big mouthfuls. The crying outside the house also stopped. The group of people who were still kowtowing just now stared at Ye Xingchen’s pot of noodles and drooled.

The loudspeaker outside the house was sizzling with his eating noises again and again. The people outside were crying unconsciously as they broke through their defenses.

“We were wrong, we were wrong. Please, Little Ye, we just don’t want to die!”

“Please, give us some food. Just a little bit will do. Just the ones you threw away will do! Please!”

“Give me something to eat. I’ll do whatever you want me to do in the future.”

Ye Xingchen was focused on eating the noodles. He even took out a head of garlic from his pocket and peeled it while throwing a clove into his mouth.

It was a blessing to be able to eat a bowl of hot noodles when one was hungry and cold.

Ye Xingchen only ate one-third of it, and after he was full, he casually pushed the remaining half of the pot of minced meat noodles toward the window.

Separated by a wall, they could see but not eat.

Everyone was like a dog, even sticking out their tongues to lick the window glass.

Ye Xingchen casually took out half a piece of whole-grain bread from under the coffee table, which he had half-eaten and thrown aside. Then, he got up and went upstairs to put on his clothes.

Ye Xingchen opened the firing port again and threw the half piece of whole-grain bread into the crowd kneeling in front of the French window. Then, he quickly closed the firing port and took off his clothes before going downstairs.

The people who were standing behind him with resentment just now had already rushed forward to snatch it like crazy.

“Stop fighting, stop fighting. It’s just a lousy piece of bread.”

Ye Xingchen pulled the couch over to face the French window. He took the communicator and nestled on the couch, crossing his legs and looking at the people as if they were mad dogs.

“I can give you a chance to wear warm clothes and eat your fill, but it depends on your performance.”

Through the camera, Ye Xingchen saw Zhang Yi’s actions. He knew that Zhang Yi was already deliberately cultivating his own power and began to win over the hearts of the people.

Very good. Since that was the case, he would make Zhang Yi’s forces his!

“As for me, it’s indeed quite boring to be alone. I need someone to relieve my boredom.”

“But 1, Ye Xingchen, only raise dogs that are loyal to me. If you want to be my dog, then I’ll give you a chance to express your loyalty.”

“Which one of you can kill Zhang Yi and bring his head over…”

Ye Xingchen stretched out his legs and kicked the pot in front of the French window.

“I’ll take care of his entire family for a week and let them eat until they’re full!”

Of course, Ye Xingchen was not pitying these people.

However, it was true that if he was alone in this post-apocalyptic world, it would be difficult for him to go out. After all, when he died before, it was extremely cold. Who knew if there would be other situations besides extreme cold in the future?

It was impossible for him to stay in this house forever. Although this house was enough for him to live in for a lifetime, it was a little torturous to live like that.

Previously, he was unarmed and had no material possessions. Naturally, his biggest dream was to be able to wear warm clothes, live well, and eat well. However, now that he was living comfortably, he had to start thinking about his mental health.

Compared to being super careful when going out, why not use these people as his own?

However, he could not accept those who were too smart, such as Zhang Yi.

After Ye Xingchen’s words, the commotion outside clearly became much smaller. After he finished speaking, he even broadcast these words to the larger group.

The people outside were hesitant and conflicted.

When they came, they had all received Zhang Yi’s kindness, although each of them only got a piece of meat the size of half a fist.

Moreover, Zhang Yi had a gun in his hand and there were so many well-trained bodyguards guarding the house. If they wanted his head, they were afraid that their heads would be gone before they could get close.

However, if it was difficult to deal with Zhang Yi, would it be easier to deal with Ye Xingchen?

In this battle, they had lost at least forty people.

At this moment, Zhang Yi had walked very far. Because of the burning bottles just now, Zhang Yi had brought a few people to retreat far away.

He didn’t hear what Ye Xingchen said. The cold wind was howling around him. He frowned and thought about what to do next.

Three of his men had died just now. If he wanted to control the entire community, he would have to replenish his manpower. However, he had long lost contact with his father. It seemed that he could only communicate with the various places in his own area.

Just as he was thinking, Zhang Yi’s entire body suddenly trembled. He felt as if there was a knife on his back.

He raised his head and subconsciously pointed the gun in his hand in that direction. He saw the crowd looking up at him with strange expressions.

He frowned and raised his hand to sweep over the crowd. He saw those people shrink back, but they were still staring at him.

The way everyone looked at him was really strange, making him feel an indescribable discomfort and even a little uneasiness from the bottom of his heart.

“Let’s go back first and make them continue to guard..”
