Doomsday Mechs: Starting with a Manufacturing Army

"Today, our community officially established a mutual aid and rescue team led by the neighborhood committee!"

In the community residents' group chat.

Wang Cuiying, an elderly woman from the neighborhood committee, tagged everyone and spoke with an air of righteous indignation.

"This is a difficult time. The community is under lockdown, supplies can't get in, and there are so many monsters."

"Therefore, my superiors instructed me to lead everyone well and guide them out of this predicament."

Aunt Wang embellished the story and talked for a long time.

But apart from Brother Dong and his group, almost no one paid any attention to her.

After all, the matter of her cheating people out of things hasn't been resolved yet.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Aunt Wang wasn't angry. After talking for a while, she tagged Jiang Yi.

It points directly to the spearhead.

"Jiang Yi, now that you have electricity and food, I order you to hand over some of it to share with everyone."

"Otherwise, don't blame the rescue team for forcibly coming to your door and distributing supplies."

"That's right."

"Well said! It should have been done a long time ago."

"I'm going to kill him then! It's all his fault, he made my mom starve to death!"

"Then how come you didn't starve to death?"

"What's it to you? We're talking about that beast Jiang Yi!"

"..."

Although none of them had ever met Jiang Yi, they all displayed an unprecedented level of unity in the face of their different living conditions in the same post-apocalyptic world.

The neighborhood committee, which had previously been largely ignored, suddenly gained immense public trust.

"Jiang Yi, I advise you to prioritize the bigger picture, otherwise I won't be able to protect you in the face of public outrage."

The neighborhood committee director, Wang Cuiying, tagged Jiang Yi and reprimanded him, appearing superior and condescending.

These words made Jiang Yi, who was eating instant noodles, laugh.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Nobody believed me when I first said it, and now everyone's calling me selfish?"

Jiang Yi shook his head, finding it somewhat laughable.

I feel even more sorry for my past self, especially after being locked up in a mental hospital for six months.

He ate a bite of instant noodles, then picked up his phone, opened the camera, and switched to telephoto macro mode.

I took a high-resolution photo of the steaming instant noodles.

In the photo, the instant noodles in the cup are floating slightly in the glossy broth.

The finely chopped scallions and vegetables add a touch of complex yet perfectly balanced flavor, blending seamlessly with the instant noodles.

Just by looking at this picture, one can almost feel that paradise-like life.

Although there is no shortage of supplies outside, these are rare items for this community that has been isolated by giant plants!

Jiang Yi's picture was captured in the group chat for a fleeting moment.

Everyone went crazy.

There is water, electricity, and instant noodles.

For so many days, so many people have been unable to get a hot meal, there's no electricity, and the gas has been cut off.

I can only eat cold food, and I dare not use my phone, for fear that it will run out of battery when I need to call for help one day.

Especially when you see that there are still faint lights on in Jiang Yi's house.

"Damn it! You son of a bitch, you're so selfish!"

"Damn it, before the apocalypse I wouldn't dare do anything to you Celestial Dragons, but now that it's the apocalypse, you still won't dare?"

"Support! This beast must be torn to pieces!"

"..."

"If it weren't for this bastard, how could so many people in the neighborhood have frozen to death or starved to death?"

"How many people have turned into zombies after drinking infected water because they couldn't get a sip? And you're eating instant noodles? Do you even know how much water evaporates when you boil it?"

Xu Wanqing, who was lying on the sofa and dozing off during her afternoon nap, was also woken up by the frantic notifications of everyone being tagged in the group chat.

She picked up her phone and immediately saw a group of people chasing after Jiang Yi and hurling insults at him.

"What did you do to them? Why did they yell at you like that?"

Xu Wanqing was somewhat surprised.

"They seem to hate you so much they want to eat you up."

Jiang Yi put down his phone, ate a mouthful of hot instant noodles, and drank a sip of hot soup.

"I just took a picture of the instant noodles and posted it in the group chat."

"Offending so many people, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Now that you're so capable, are you still afraid of others hurting you?"

Jiang Yi deliberately gave a half-smile.

"Or are you afraid I'll drag you down with you?"

No way.

Xu Wanqing hurriedly shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"If anyone hurts you, I will protect you."

But feeling that this was somewhat inappropriate, she added another sentence.

"It will definitely happen before the end of the world, and we were acting in self-defense."

Seeing Xu Wanqing deep in thought, Jiang Yi chuckled.

"It's a shame you didn't become a lawyer."

"I was preparing for the bar exam, but unfortunately my plans were disrupted." Xu Wanqing said, sounding somewhat dejected.

Just then, Jiang Yi's phone vibrated again.

Aunt Wang in the group chat tagged everyone and sent a message.

"Jiang Yi, quickly distribute your food! Look how hungry everyone is!"

"If you contribute your belongings, I'll report it to my superiors and you'll receive a banner recognizing you as a good citizen. Otherwise, you'll be disobeying the neighborhood committee's will, and you'll bear the consequences!"

Seeing the threatening tone in the words, Jiang Yi wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he sent a provocative message.

"If you're so capable, come and take it yourself, you old geezer."

The whole neighborhood knows.

The stairwell of this building is blocked by that giant plant, making it impossible to get up.

"Fine! You're stubborn as a mule, aren't you!"

Enraged, Wang, the neighborhood committee director, immediately took charge and rallied everyone.

"Those who come with me to Jiang Yi's house to get supplies will be given priority in distribution, including electricity, hot water, and food."

"I!"

"And me!"

"It makes me so angry! I want to go too!"

Although Aunt Wang's reputation isn't great, the things in Jiang Yi's photos are real.

In such a cold winter.

Who wouldn't want a hot meal and access to electricity?

To know.

Countless murders have occurred in this neighborhood over a little food.

Seeing so many people responding to her in the group chat, Aunt Wang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"That Jiang Yi really doesn't know what's good for him."

"Grandma, Grandma."

At this moment, a four-year-old boy next to him smashed a toy and came over, huffing and puffing.

"My remote control car is out of power, it's not fun at all."

"It's alright, it's alright, my dear grandson."

Wang Cuiying stroked her grandson's round head and comforted him.

"Grandma will be able to charge your remote control car soon."

Grandpa Liu, who was standing nearby, sighed.

"With supplies so scarce right now, you're still trying to charge your remote-controlled car? Don't go too far."

"People need electricity to avoid freezing to death, to charge their phones, and to make calls for help... You..."

"What do you know?"

Wang Cuiying angrily cursed at her boss.

"Is our grandson's remote-controlled car less important than other people's trivial matters? You're always siding with outsiders."

"Besides, if we could get out, we would have done it already. Aren't I doing this for our grandson?"
