Mai Zihao didn't know that his life had died and come back to life several times under Chen Ye's consideration. He looked at Chen Ye's thoughtful expression and whispered, "I don't believe this or that. I just want you to look good and don't want you to die. What purpose can it have? Stupid woman, you don't know how to appreciate kindness."

"Ok?"

“No, no, no, nothing.” Mai Zihao had a smile on his face. “I’m going home to change clothes. I haven’t changed clothes for more than half a month. They stink.”

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Do you need me to give you something to eat right now?"

Mai Zihao's face froze for a moment, and he said awkwardly, "Next time, definitely next time!" Then he added, "You better be careful, they will be here in the next two days."

Chen Ye nodded, "I understand, let's go back."

However, before Zhao Li arrived, Chen Ye first greeted the property management and a group of property owners.

There were about 20 to 30 people, half of whom were the property's usual security guards, and the rest were the owners. They stood in front of the gate in a huge mass, denouncing Chen Ye's family with confidence.

Although he lived in a residential building in his previous life, Chen Ye was also besieged by many people when he went out to look for supplies. However, because they were afraid of the gun in Chen Xing's hand, no one dared to come to besiege him.

Chen Ye sat in the yard, watching Chen Chen arguing with the people outside the door at the top of his voice through the small partition door.

"Young Master Chen, please call your parents out. We all live in the same neighborhood. You can't be so ruthless. No one can eat. I can see from the roof of my building that there are still a lot of vegetables in your yard. Please share some with us."

The person who spoke was the property's security director, who seemed to still have some rationality. The owners behind him all had angry expressions on their faces.

"We'll give it to you all. We don't need to eat it ourselves. Let's go to heaven right now?" Chen Chen rolled his eyes.

"They still have the lights on in their house every night. They have no shortage of diesel, so they definitely have no shortage of food." An owner behind him shouted.

Uncle Li stood beside Chen Chen and looked at the man. Although his clothes were a little dirty, his face did not look like he had been hungry for a long time.

"What's my family got to do with you? I didn't think of a way to store food before, and the Ghost Evil reminded me a long time ago, but I'm still unwilling to go out to look for supplies. Now I'm catching my family. What? Do I owe you?"

Chen Chen has never had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation since he was a child. This is the first time he looks directly at people's hearts. In addition to anger, he feels more sad.

The security director suppressed the shouting of the crowd behind him and said in a good-tempered manner: "Young Master Chen, that's not what we meant. We just think that in the current disaster situation, we should all work together to overcome the difficulties in front of us. There is no point in living alone, right? When the flood recedes, we will need everyone to rebuild our homes together. What do you think?"

Chen Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't talk about these nonsense. I don't understand. Anyway, we don't have any supplies at home. Leave my house quickly."

"You were eating barbecue a few days ago, so you must have a lot of food left. But you even shamelessly went to collect the government-distributed supplies. You want to take advantage of every penny. You are so shameless."

The person who spoke was the man in the blue shirt who had come to the villa a few days ago to cause trouble.

As soon as he finished speaking, the long-haired woman continued, "Yes, you ate and drank to your heart's content, and watched others starve to death without sharing any of their food. You have no humanity. Everyone has elderly people and children at home. How can you be so hard-hearted?"

Chen Chen was born and raised in Country Y. He could not recognize many Chinese characters, but he could communicate in daily life. How could he argue with these people? He was so angry that his face turned red and he could not speak for a long time.

Li Xiong snorted coldly: "What? Are you starting to blackmail us so soon? I thought you could act a little longer and beg us."

Chen Chen suddenly blurted out, "What morality is there in kidnapping? I have no morality."

The owners across the street immediately started swearing at each other, standing outside the door.

The security director tried to comfort everyone again, and it took a long time for everyone to calm down. He looked at Uncle Li next to Chen Chen.

Uncle Li was in charge of following up on the basic procedures before check-in, and he is considered an old acquaintance at the property management company.

The security director smiled and said, "Butler Li, how about you talk to your boss again? Our entire community has reached the end of its rope. No, the whole city is at the end of its rope. Now only you can save us."

Uncle Li's face was calm, and he said slowly, "Why? When you first came to deliver the medicine, didn't you say that your company's senior management had a channel?"

The security director looked embarrassed. "That's right. It's been almost two months now. Who can stand it? You also know that the supplies at Dahua can no longer hold up."

"Yeah, even Dahua couldn't hold on, so why do you think our boss can hold on?"

"No, no, no, it's different. We only need a little bit to protect the people in our community. Butler Li, please be kind. You can't bear to see everyone starve to death. There are elderly and children at home. If the adults don't eat, the children and the elderly can't survive."

Before Uncle Li could answer, Li Xiong said in a cold voice with a calm face: "Only protect the people in our community? Why? Look at them, they look like they want to eat us."

Uncle Li continued, "Who among you is spreading rumors? Gathering such a large group of people to come here and cause trouble, making our family live in turmoil?"

If they only gave out a piece of biscuit and a sip of water today, the news would spread everywhere, not even tomorrow. Not only the people in the city, but everyone would probably rush here like flies smelling something.

By then, will they be able to control the entire city?

Putting aside Chen Ye's indifferent personality, even if he could manage it, this is not a disaster in just one city, nor a disaster in just one country. It's a flood that has overwhelmed the entire world.

God cannot save everyone.

It was not until this moment that everyone understood Chen Ye's painstaking efforts to build the house as solid as an iron box.

When there is no threat to them, they are all aloof, proud and self-righteous, and disdain any behavior that would be beneath their status. But now, they were all glamorous and beautiful in the past, but now they act like the shrewd common people, making no sense at all.

From this we can see that self-cultivation is not something that is innate, nor is it something that can be cultivated later. It is a manifestation of personal self-control ability that is supported by sufficient material foundation.

Chen Ye listened to their quarrel without saying a word, quietly eating the washed cherries that Uncle Li had taken out from the refrigerator in the basement, and also ate a piece of bird's nest fruit that was so sweet that it made him sick.

He took a sip of tea from the cup and cleared his throat. He felt that Chen Chen and the others were almost done, so he said coldly to Dan Mo who was sitting opposite him: "It's noisy."

Dunmer stood up and walked towards the gate.
