Extreme Cold Apocalypse: My Shelter is Full of Beautiful Women

[Oh my god, weren't Old Wang's family out looking for food? How...how did they end up like this!]

What if they rush into the building? My door is made of wood; it won't stop them at all!

【We're doomed! It's -50 degrees Celsius outside, we can't go outside, and now even inside the building isn't safe. Are we going to die here?】

My child is only three years old... Please, someone help us...

The group chat was instantly flooded with panic.

A homeowner named "Old Zhang" sent several voice messages, all of which were filled with sobs:

"I don't want to die! The food I've stockpiled can last for two more days, but now I'm too scared to even leave the house. How am I supposed to survive...?"

Another woman, called "Sister Li," began to complain:

"That's all the fault of the property management company! They're usually so eager to collect property fees, but where are they now? Are they dead?"

"The property management office has been deserted for ages. Are you still not awake?" someone replied coldly.

There was a few seconds of silence in the group chat, and then the chat started flooding with messages even more frantically.

"How about... we take turns patrolling? A few people can go to each building, armed and keeping watch downstairs. If they spot any wild animals, they can call for help."

This message was sent by a middle-aged man known as "Brother Liu," who usually loves to give orders in the group chat.

Yes, yes, yes, we take turns patrolling. Everyone contributes, and safety is guaranteed!

But...it's so cold outside, wouldn't going out be suicide?

Why should anyone protect you if you don't put in the effort?

I have elderly people and children at home, I really can't leave...

Who doesn't have elderly people or children in their family? Are you the only one who's precious?

Just as an argument was about to break out in the group chat, a retired teacher named "Teacher Zhou" posted a long message:

"Everyone, calm down. The idea of ​​taking turns patrolling is good, but there are many problems with its implementation. First, in temperatures of minus fifty degrees Celsius, an ordinary person could get frostbite after just ten minutes outside, so how can we patrol? Second, we don't have weapons, so what will we use to fight off snow wolves? Third, who will be in charge of scheduling? Who will supervise? What if someone slacks off or runs away halfway through? I suggest that we first reinforce the doors and windows of each building, and then select capable and physically fit people to form patrol teams, with the others providing supplies as payment. This is the only feasible solution."

After the message was sent, the group was silent for a few seconds.

Then, nobody paid any attention to him.

What's the point of saying all that? Someone has to go down and keep watch tonight anyway!

[I agree, let's start with building 4? The units on the first floor of building 4 are closest to the main entrance.]

[Yes, yes, @YeYan, don't you live on the first floor? You go first!]

Someone tagged Ye Yan.

The two women looked up at Ye Yan.

"How is it?" Le Wuyou asked nervously.

"Did you offend someone?" Qi Rushuang frowned.

It's obvious that tagging someone at this time is malicious.

Ye Yan shrugged, indicating that he wasn't far away either.

Before the apocalypse, he was a model student and an exemplary citizen.

As for the people of the end times, they have offended quite a few.

Ye Yan didn't know who it was, but he had already remembered the person called "Little White Rabbit Eating Grass".

But I'll reply anyway.

Ye Yan picked up her phone and slowly typed:

I'm not going. I can protect myself.

The moment the message was sent out, the group chat exploded.

How could you be so selfish?

Exactly! Everyone's putting in the effort, so why are you an exception?

Young people should have a sense of collectivism and not just think about themselves!

[If neither of you goes, who will guarantee the safety of the community? Are you people from Building 4 trying to use us from the other buildings as shields for yourselves?]

The most offensive comment came from a middle-aged woman named "Sister Zhao," who usually loved to take advantage of others in the group chat, but now she was acting all righteous and awe-inspiring.

As Ye Yan looked at the righteous and stern accusations on the screen, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

Isn't this what he's been waiting for?

"Oh? Then tell me, how should the patrolmen be arranged? Shouldn't they be given some preferential treatment? We can't let them work for free, can we?"

Sister Zhao immediately replied: "Of course we should give them! Public supplies should be distributed, and whoever patrols should get an extra portion! Isn't that just how it should be?"

That's right, we can't let people work for free.

This is what I've been waiting for.

Ye Yan responded without hesitation: "Then how about this? I'll take care of the security of Building 4 myself. Patrols, night watch, hunting wild animals—all my responsibility. I'll take half of the reward, and you can split the rest. The condition is that all the carcasses of the wild animals killed are mine."

As soon as the message came out, the group chat for Building 4 exploded.

The residents of Building 4 were already extremely worried.

They live in this building, which is closest to the main entrance, so if there were to be patrols, they would definitely be the first to go.

It's minus fifty degrees Celsius outside; your fingers will freeze off after just ten minutes outside, not to mention having to face those man-eating snow wolves.

Now someone suddenly jumps out and says, "I'll cover it all"?

Is there such a good thing?

【Agreed! Ye Yan, you have to keep your word!】

【I support you! As long as I don't have to go out, you can have as much as you want!】

Half is yours, no problem! You can take the beast carcass if you want!

[Well done, young people! You're taking responsibility!]

The people in Building 4 replied almost instantly, afraid that Ye Yan would change his mind.

People in the other buildings were taken aback at first, and then some of them became unhappy.

Wait, you're protecting four buildings all by yourself? What makes you think you can do that? Are you Superman?

"Exactly! Those snow wolves can eat people. Can you handle it alone? Don't drag us down with you if something happens!"

What if you die downstairs and wild animals rush into the building? Who will be responsible?

Ye Yan calmly replied: "That's my business. If I die, it's not your fault; if I live, don't be envious. In short, I'm responsible for the safety of Building 4; you can figure out the rest of the buildings yourselves."

This statement left those people speechless.

Some people wanted to say something more, but the people in Building 4 had already started to defend their own.

[Ye Yan took the initiative to step forward and take responsibility, so why are you all so sour?]

[Exactly! If you guys are so capable, why don't you each rent an entire building?]

Stop just talking! If you're so capable, go down and patrol your own areas!

The people in the other buildings were speechless, and could only sarcastically remark:

Okay, you're amazing. Don't cry later.

Let's see how many days he can hold out.

Ye Yan turned off her phone and placed it face down on the coffee table.

"Does...you really want to go down on patrol alone?" Le Wuyou hugged the doll, huddled on the sofa, her voice trembling.

"What? I'm all alone?" Ye Yan looked at her.

Le Wuyou immediately hugged the doll even tighter, looking wary.

"You don't expect me, a weak woman, to go down and fight those wild beasts, do you? Have you forgotten that I have a spatial sequence? Besides, all the food you eat comes from my space!"

She emphasized her own value, fearing that she would be pushed out as cannon fodder.

In fact, Le Wuyou didn't have any grand ambitions; she just hoped to live a carefree life like this.

"I...I can go down."

Qi Rushuang bit her lip, her voice trembling slightly.

But there was a stubbornness in his eyes.

She knew that, apart from this body, she was of little use for the time being.

But she was unwilling to be just a pretty face.

Ye Yan glanced at her, somewhat surprised.

He reached out and touched her head, his tone unusually gentle:

"Don't worry, I never planned to go down. None of us are going down."

"Huh?" Yue Wuyou was stunned. "Then what are we going to do?"

"what?"

Ye Yan took out thirteen flints, lined them up on the coffee table, and smiled:

"Of course, it's building games."

The four flints were dropped by the group that burned Zhao Tianci and the others to death.

Thanks to them, the materials for the arrow tower were gathered.

He had originally planned to build an arrow tower downstairs, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.

Now that the beast has arrived, he can not only legitimately build defensive towers, but also collect "protection fees" from the people in Building 4.

Even more interestingly, the killed beasts likely contained flint.

Three birds with one stone.
