The Revenge of Lin Auntie

Zhang Yi sat lazily on the sofa and let out a yawn.

While others were enduring hunger and cold, he was living more comfortably than heaven itself.

His home had the perfect insulation system and an abundance of fuel that could keep his safe house at a comfortable constant temperature throughout the year.

He didn't need to do anything next, just make sure that he enjoyed each day.

There wasn't anything interesting on TV at the moment, and various live broadcasts had been shut down due to the extreme cold.

After all, those beautiful female anchors he usually liked wouldn't be able to endure temperatures as low as minus sixty or seventy degrees, or even over a hundred degrees, while wearing camisoles and dancing.

If there were such anchors, Zhang Yi could only give them a thumbs up and exclaim, "What a tough person!"

He opened his own dimensional space, where the electronic device area was filled with numerous gaming consoles and unopened copies of AAA games.

There were plenty of PS5s, Switches, Xboxes, and hundreds of brand-new unopened units.

As for game cartridges, there were tens of thousands of them.

Zhang Yi took out the latest PS5 and connected it to his massive 100-inch Sony TV at home, starting to play games.

He played the latest AAA action game of the year, "Devil May Cry 3".

On the side, there were games like "Elden Ring", "The Witcher 3", and "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice".

If he wanted to pass the time, they were all excellent choices.

If he felt that the game duration was too short, there were even games like "Civilization" and "Cities: Skylines", which were massive time sinks and could keep him entertained.

In the future, he wouldn't need to worry about work or social obligations. This kind of life was even better than before the apocalypse!

Since he was at home, Zhang Yi only wore pajamas while snacking and playing games, thoroughly enjoying himself.

After a while, his phone rang.

Zhang Yi casually picked it up and saw that it was the annoying Aunt Lin from the neighborhood committee mentioning him in the group.

"Zhang Yi, the roads outside are all blocked by heavy snow. Prepare your tools and come out to help with snow removal!"

Her words carried a commanding tone.

Zhang Yi also noticed that she was calling on everyone in the group to go out and shovel snow, but very few people responded.

He didn't expect her to directly target him.

Zhang Yi glanced at the heavy snow outside, with an entire floor almost completely covered.

With three meters of snow, it was nearly impossible to clear it manually.

And Zhang Yi knew that this snowfall would last for at least another three months.

Going out to shovel now would be futile as the snow would continue to fall rapidly.

Zhang Yi immediately declined, "It's too cold outside. We would freeze like popsicles in just a short while. Even if we shovel the snow, it's better to wait until it stops snowing."

Others chimed in agreement, "Yeah, it's over minus seventy degrees outside. Just a short time outside and we'll get frostbite."

"We don't have proper cold-weather equipment here. How can we even go out?"

Aunt Lin became anxious on the spot.

"What kind of attitude is this? Shoveling snow isn't just for me, but for everyone, right?"

"You young and strong guys, when faced with a disaster, you don't proactively come forward to serve the people. Instead, you think about escaping. How can that be allowed?"

She directed her anger towards Zhang Yi, who led the opposition against her.

"Zhang Yi, I command you in the name of the neighborhood committee. You must go out and shovel snow!"

"Now is a time of crisis. We must unite and obey the organization's command!"

"Anyone who dares to oppose me is opposing the leadership of the neighborhood committee! After the snow disaster is over, they will be held accountable by the organization!"

Aunt Lin once again emphasized her position as a member of the neighborhood committee.

The homeowners were filled with anger but dared not speak up.

The snow disaster had just arrived, and social order still existed, so nobody dared to defy it.

Although these members of the neighborhood committee seemed to have limited power, their small amount of authority was closely related to everyone's daily lives, making others reluctant to provoke them.

Everyone remained silent, unwilling to be the first to step forward.

However, many people hoped that Zhang Yi would stand up and confront Aunt Lin, acting as their spokesperson.

Zhang Yi was well aware of their thoughts and a cold smile appeared on his face as he looked down on them.

But it was impossible for him to keep silent and swallow his pride.

So he decided to directly confront Aunt Lin.

He glanced through the chat records and noticed that Aunt Lin had mentioned a few people who were generally easy to talk to in the community.

She had conveniently ignored the troublesome troublemakers and influential individuals.

Zhang Yi mocked directly, "Aunt Lin is right. Since it's for everyone's sake, shouldn't the neighborhood committee members take the lead in shoveling snow?"

"And if we're talking about young and strong people, why did you only mention a few of us from the community?"

"Do you think we're easy targets? You don't even mention a word to those socialites and second-generation rich kids."

"How is it that you suddenly become speechless when dealing with them?"

Other homeowners nodded in agreement when they heard Zhang Yi's words.

"Zhang Yi is my internet mouthpiece!"

"That's right, she's only finding easy targets. Why doesn't she mention people like Chen Zhenghao and Xu Hao?"

Everyone knew who Zhang Yi was referring to.

Since they all lived in the same community, there were no powerful figures to speak of. Everyone was well aware of this.

For example, Chen Zhenghao, who lived in Apartment 601 on the sixth floor, was a well-known figure in the community. He was a social brother with a large workforce involved in construction projects.

Another example was Xu Hao from Apartment 802 on the eighth floor. His father was a famous property developer in Tianhai City, and they had connections within the government.

Aunt Lin didn't mention any of these individuals from start to finish.

Zhang Yi directly exposed Aunt Lin's nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, which made her lose face.

She didn't mention those influential figures because she lacked the courage to do so, and they wouldn't even bother with her.

People like them always took advantage of the weak and feared the strong.

If Zhang Yi had been this type of person before, Aunt Lin wouldn't have asked him to shovel snow.

Feeling embarrassed, Aunt Lin vented her frustration by sending several long voice messages in the group.

"Shoveling snow is a public service, considering everyone's well-being. Some people are so petty and lack the spirit of dedication!"

"These people are simply troublemakers in our homeowners' group!"

"If you don't want to do it, then don't. There are plenty of others who can do it! The level of awareness among everyone else is much higher than yours."

"Also, I'm not singling out anyone. There's no need to mention each one individually. I hope you understand and don't misunderstand!"

"If you continue spreading these defamatory remarks about me, I will report it to the police!"

Aunt Lin's explanation only made things worse.

Especially her threat to report to the police made Zhang Yi burst into laughter.

Some of the homeowners, who were already timid, became afraid upon hearing Aunt Lin's words and went out to shovel snow with their tools.

But Zhang Yi remained unfazed by her threats.

Not to mention her unreasonable behavior, the police would not support her actions.

Furthermore, did she think that all the social machinery was operating normally?
