Some of them were even late. They only managed to grab one or two potatoes or half a carrot that had been stepped on. They were already starving. Looking at the two large bags of food, they were even tempted to go over and snatch them.

It was just that they were afraid of the gun in Ye Xingchen’s hand and did not dare to really go up and make a move.

Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes and stood in front of the door of the house. “It took me a lot of effort to get these supplies for you.”

He motioned for Zhao Hao to pour out the contents of the sack.

“Whoosh–”

With a messy sound, a large pile of food appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

This included, but was not limited to, frozen fish, pieces of frozen meat, frozen vegetables, and a lot of bread, biscuits, and instant noodles!

Many of the fruits had already been frozen to the point of cracking. The bread and biscuits did not look delicious, but these things were extremely delicious in the eyes of the neighbors who did not have enough to eat every day!

Zhao Hao stood in front of the crowd and suddenly raised his fist and shouted. “Long live Ye Xingchen!”

Everyone followed suit and raised their fists as they shouted.

“Long live Ye Xingchen! Long live Ye Xingchen!”

“Ye Xingchen is a great hero! He’s our hero!”

“I’m willing to follow Ye Xingchen forever!”

A few of Zheng Huaqiang’s underlings also mixed into the crowd.

Zheng Huaqiang did not completely trust the person who sent him the message. After all, he had been too trusting of him in the beginning, which led to the death of several of his brothers.

Of those who snuck in, other than the two who volunteered, there were also a few who were not that close to Zheng Huaqiang.

Although they were all from the same construction team, not all of them were completely convinced by Zheng Huaqiang.

A few of them did not come out with them last time, so they were very curious now. They followed them to see what kind of person Ye Xingchen was.

Chen Rou’er had unknowingly blended into the crowd.

Looking at the food on the ground, her eyeballs almost fell out!

Forcefully pushing aside the people standing upright like a wall, Chen Rou’er shouted at the top of her lungs. “Brother Xingchen! Brother Xingchen! I’m Rou’er!”

However, her voice was too soft, and she was pulled back by Sun Min and Chu Yao, who covered her mouth from either side. Ye Xingchen did not hear her at all.

Ye Xingchen looked at the black mass in front of him and suddenly had the illusion that he had become the leader of some gang.

He raised his arm and gestured for everyone to be quiet.

“I spent a lot of effort on this trip to find this food.”

“My original intention was to share it with everyone.”

“But…” Suddenly, Ye Xingchen’s voice turned cold, and he continued. “I, Ye Xingchen, do not raise idle people. I believe that everyone knows what the outside world is like now, right?”

“After eating my food, you have to pick up your weapons and fight the enemy!”

“If anyone eats my food but is hiding and unwilling to contribute, then I guarantee that after 1 find him, I’ll make him pay back twice as much as he took!”

Ye Xingchen raised the gun in his hand and gestured to them.

Everyone was naturally afraid. After all, Ye Xingchen had real weapons in his hands. They had also seen Ye Xingchen kill people before.

“Alright, let’s distribute the food now!”

Ye Xingchen finished speaking and was about to take attendance.

However, at this moment, the construction workers who had come to see if it was real could not hold it in anymore.

They knew that Ye Xingchen would definitely not call their names. After all, they came from somewhere else.

Seeing so much food in front of them, their eyes lit up. After all, they had never been able to eat their fill at Zheng Huaqiang’s place. Whatever Zheng Huaqiang had to eat and drink, he would first give it to his brothers who usually hung out with him. They could only pick up the leftovers from their meals.

After eating sour meat and internal organs for so long, they had long wanted to eat proper food!

As soon as Ye Xingchen finished speaking, a few of them took out their knives without care and wanted to break through the obstacles in front of them to snatch the pile of food!

Ye Xingchen’s pupils constricted as soon as they took out the knives. He subconsciously raised the gun in his hand and loaded it.

But suddenly, he reacted.

Wasn’t this a good opportunity to set rules?

Ye Xingchen didn’t shoot. He pulled Lin Sijia with one hand and retreated to the side.

He shouted at the already chaotic crowd. “They’re all here for the food! These are all food for you. Don’t let them snatch it away!”

“Whoever can kill one of them, I will reward him with five servings of food!”

As soon as Ye Xingchen said this, the neighbors who had already run out stopped in their tracks.

Yes, these were the supplies that Ye Xingchen brought back for them.

If all the food was snatched by these people, what else could they eat?! Their stock had basically been eaten up!

Food was life now. Without food, they would soon starve to death like their neighbors!

Moreover, there were so many of them, and there were only so many people who took out knives?!

What if they were lucky enough to kill one of them?! That was food for five people! Wouldn’t that be enough for them to eat for five days?

In just two to three minutes, a group of people immediately took out their weapons and smashed them at the people who were waving their knives around!

Ye Xingchen stood beside the pile of food to prevent anyone from stealing the food.

These workers only had a large kitchen knife on them. They did not have any other weapons.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had fallen into a chaotic battle.

The group of people fought more and more outwards, and the sounds of banging rang out endlessly.

Zhao Hao was the main attacker in this melee. He waved a steel pipe in his hand and almost pressed down on the people who wanted to rob him.

A series of angry roars came from the neighborhood.

This was the release of their pent-up emotions.

For so many days, they had been living in fear of the unknown and the fear of death. They were hungry and cold, and there were outsiders invading and robbing them every day. No one knew when it would be their turn to be robbed.

After a round of fighting, it was a satisfying end.

After the battle, eight people were lying on the ground.

Someone went to strip the scarves and clothes on their faces, only to find that six of them were unfamiliar faces. The other two were the owners of this neighborhood, who had unfortunately been killed in the fight just now.

Lin Sijia, who was standing behind Ye Xingchen, frowned slightly. As a doctor, she certainly didn’t like such bloody scenes, but there was nothing she could do.

She sighed helplessly.. “Is this the world of the apocalypse?”
