“However…”

Zhao Hao paused for a moment before continuing in the group. “All the food in my house has been eaten up. I haven’t eaten for two days. I’m very hungry now and can’t exert any strength.”

“I think everyone’s situation is similar to mine, right?”

In an instant, there was a strange silence in the group.

They were not hungry. In fact, they had eaten their fill these few days. After all, they had taken a lot of food from Zhang Yi’s house previously.

There was even a small number of people who had already eaten barbecue before Zhang Yi’s incident.

“Uh… What should I do? 1 don’t have much to eat at home. 1 won’t be able to eat another meal.”

“Uh, yes, yes. Sigh, 1 have a lot of family members. I didn’t bring back much from Zhang Yi’s side previously. They’ve all been eaten up these few days.”

“Yes, our situation is not much different from yours. Brother Zhao, do you have any good ideas or suggestions? Why don’t you say it and let everyone hear it!”

“That’s right. If you bring it up, everyone will listen to you.”

Ye Xingchen scrolled through the chat in the group, his face full of disdain.

Everyone knew very well whether there was food or not. Zhang Yi’s place had so much food stored up. What did he have now?

They had just said that they would support Zhao Hao with all their might, but now, they were unwilling to give him anything to eat. The heavy snow had really forced out all their selfishness.

Zhao Hao did not take them seriously. He continued. “We don’t have many weapons on us. We can’t beat them in a head-on fight.”

“But don’t forget that Ye Xingchen chased them away!”

“With the current situation, only Ye Xingchen can fight against them!”

“My suggestion is that we go to Ye Xingchen for help and let him lead us to resist the invasion of outsiders.”

There was another strange silence. They had just scolded Ye Xingchen in the group not long ago.

Not to mention that they had just quarreled, many of them still felt that those people were called over by Ye Xingchen to take revenge on them.

“Um… Is it suitable, Brother Zhao?”

“Yeah, Ye Xingchen killed so many of our neighbors before. Now we’re going to ask him to protect us?”

“That’s right. Moreover, the group of people outside might have been called over by Ye Xingchen?”

Zhao Hao interrupted them. “No, they’re just a construction team. They don’t know Little Ye. They wanted to snatch his things.”

“Then, then according to what Brother Zhao said, it seems that only Ye Xingchen can deal with them?”

“He has arrows and a bomb that burns. Maybe he can really beat those workers away.”

“But will he help us?”

“Yeah, didn’t we smash his house before? We even scolded him. Why would he be so kind as to help us?”

“Sigh, that’s right. Ye Xingchen is such a selfish person. Will he really help us?”

Zhao Hao jumped out at the right time. “How about this? 1 can still talk to Little Ye. Why don’t 1 try to talk to him and see if he’s willing to help us?”

Ye Xingchen took in all the messages in the group. He turned around and received a private message from Zhao Hao.

“How about it, Little Ye? Can 1 say this? What should we do next?”

Ye Xingchen replied. “Not bad. 1 didn’t expect you to be so good at acting, Brother Zhao, haha. It’s almost time. Think of a way to make them listen to me obediently. Only then can we enter and leave safely in the future.”

Ye Xingchen didn’t know if they were safe or not, nor was he interested. In any case, he would be safer.

After finishing his plotting, Zhao Hao returned to the group and pretended to mention Ye Xingchen. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“@Ye Xingchen Little Ye, everyone needs you now. You know the principle of losing the lips and the teeth being cold, right? Besides, we don’t see each other as enemies. Why don’t we put aside our previous prejudices against each other and temporarily shake hands and make peace? What do you think?”

“If there’s one, there’ll be two. With this outsider invasion, there might be people from other districts coming over to snatch our resources at any time.”

“At this time, it’s not easy for everyone. It’s a kind of fate to be able to live in the same neighborhood. To be able to be in the same group, everyone can be considered family.”

Seeing this, the others in the group also chimed in.

“Yes, yes. Little Ye, you’re so kind. You definitely won’t ignore your neighbors, right?”

“That’s right. Everyone needs you now. Please help!”

“It’s true. We’ll definitely listen to you in the future, Little Ye.”

“The lives of our entire family depend on you, Xingchen!”

All kinds of flattery swarmed forward. Ye Xingchen sneered.

“It’s none of my business what you guys do, but I’ll give you a break since Brother Zhao came to look for me.”

“Don’t flatter me. I saw how you scolded me. You did a lot of work when you smashed my house.”

Everyone was very nervous. After all, what Ye Xingchen said was indeed what they had done. In all fairness, if it was them, they would definitely not be willing to care about this matter.

“All, don’t, Little Ye. We were just joking with you!”

“Yeah, I didn’t participate in smashing your house. I’m just a little woman. 1 can’t do such a wicked thing!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Don’t be so stingy. We’re all neighbors. Why are you so calculating? It’ll hurt our relationship!”

“Oh?” Ye Xingchen’s brows raised. “It seems like you guys are asking me for help, right? Is this the attitude you have when asking for help?”

“Ha, how funny. Those who don’t know might think that 1 owe you guys!”

At this moment, Zhao Hao took the lead and replied in the group. “Don’t, Little Ye! How about this! We’ll listen to whatever you say in the future! We’ll do whatever you want us to do!”

“Yes, yes, yes, we think the same as Brother Zhao! We’ll listen to you in the future!”

“I’ll listen to you! If you want me to go East, I won’t go West! If you tell me to sit, I won’t lie down!”

Seeing that it was about time, Ye Xingchen slowly asked, “Is that so? You’ll do whatever I tell you to do? Is this for real? Everyone is willing to listen to me?”

Everyone in the group hesitated.

“Uh… As long as you don’t send me to my death, I’m fine with anything else.”

Ye Xingchen immediately asked, “Then what if 1 want you to go up with weapons and fight those construction workers?”

There was another long silence in the group.

No one dared to reply. No one was willing to be the one to stand out.

“Haha, you guys make it sound so nice, so you just want me to risk my life alone.. Do you think it’s best if 1 die? At that time, you can live in my house and eat my food, right?”
