Take the bait

Zhang Yi ignored Li Jian's request and turned around to leave.

People like Li Jian are a typical idealist.

However, realizing your ideal requires strength, not just slogans.

Returning to #25, I happened to pass by Wang Qiang and Huang Tianfang.

The two of them held cigarette butts in their hands, eager to suck the holder into it.

As soon as they saw Zhang Yi, the two of them immediately came over with faces full of fawning.

"Brother Zhang, aren't you going out today? Or did you say that all the food was collected yesterday?"

Wang Qiang walked over with a smile and enthusiasm on his face.

Those who didn't know thought he was Zhang Yi's cousin.

"Go out later."

Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Huang Tianfang also came over and said with a smile: "Zhang Yi is the person who has contributed the most to our community! Unlike these wastes," he pointed at the residents who were clearing the snow, "He can't do any job well. God knows when you open your mouth, you want to eat! Hmph!"

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "They don't know how to work, so just teach them!"

Wang Qiang looked at the honest residents who were tamed by him and curled his lips in disdain: "They all have arms and legs, what can't they do? Give them a beating and they will become honest!"

With that said, he smiled playfully at Zhang Yi and said: "Brother Zhang, I'm not used to this Jinwan smoking, it's too strong! Can you switch to Yuxi for me next time?"

Huang Tianfang said: "Return to Yuxi? Why don't you want Zhonghua? It's good to have some. Don't put a burden on Zhang Yi!"

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "This is not a big problem. I will help you look for more later. If there are any, I will bring them to you. It shouldn't be difficult."

"Besides, at this time, although cigarettes are precious, there is no way to say whether they are valuable or not."

"It's okay if you want me to find Yuxi and Zhonghua, but if you have to ask me to find you Dujiang and the Red Third Ring Road, I still can't find them!"

The three people laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"By the way, I'll show it to you later. If there's any good wine, I'll bring you a bottle or two. It's a cold day, drink some wine to warm yourself up!"

As soon as Zhang Yi said these words, Huang Tianfang and Wang Qiang were extremely excited.

Huang Tianfang likes drinking the most, and Wang Qiang also has a good drinking capacity.

It's one thing to like to drink, but the key thing is that in this weather, liquor can help them stay warm. It's a serious good thing!

"Brother Zhang, you are so righteous! In the past, I used to be a villain and judged a gentleman. If I need help from my brother in the future, just say hello!"

Wang Qiang gave Zhang Yi a thumbs up, and he was really touched in his heart.

Huang Tianfang glanced at him and did not lag behind others, "Zhang Yi, you are our great benefactor! There is no way to repay your life-saving grace. I, Old Huang, can only say that from now on, I will entrust you with the one hundred and forty pounds." Here you go!"

Zhang Yi had a warm smile on his face and reached out to pat their arms.

"Look what you said. From now on we are the best partners!"

"Everyone is trying to survive better in the apocalypse. Only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation."

"If you have any needs, just ask me! If you can satisfy it, I will definitely satisfy it."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and pointed outside: "Then I'll go out first!"

Wang Qiang and Huang Tianfang hurriedly said: "You are busy, you are busy!"

Zhang Yi smiled and nodded, then went to pick up the car and left Yuelu Community.

Huang Tianfang and Wang Qiang stared at Zhang Yi's retreating figure, their eyes becoming slightly complicated.

The two glanced at each other, didn't take it very seriously, and turned around to leave.

On the way back, Wang Qiang lowered his head and thought deeply: "Why did Zhang Yi suddenly become so good? He asked for cigarettes and even offered to bring me wine."

"Did I misunderstand him before?"

He frowned and thought carefully.

He had no contact with Zhang Yi in the past, let alone conflicts.

After the apocalypse, it was he who coveted Zhang Yi's snowmobile. He tried to steal it and sent people to ambush it in the snow.

Later, Zhang Yi launched a counterattack against their Mad Wolf Gang.

Wang Qiang slapped his forehead: "Ouch! Let's talk about it, it's not that he is unjust, it's that I did something wrong in the first place. This Zhang Yiren can handle it!"

A cruel smile gradually appeared on his lips.

"I just like kind people!"

...

On the other side, Huang Tianfang was also thinking about Zhang Yi's change in attitude.

"Why did he suddenly show kindness to me? Logically speaking, with his strength, he shouldn't be afraid of me."

"If you put it this way, he probably really wants peace and doesn't want to continue fighting. After all, he is only one person, and the people under his command are not of the same mind as him."

"If we hit him any further, he might die someday. So he's scared!"

After thinking about it for a while, Huang Tianfang thought he understood Zhang Yi's change in attitude.

He couldn't help but have a somewhat proud smile on his face.

"This is great news!"

...

After Zhang Yi came out, he went to the library again.

The book "Norwegian Forest" is very interesting. The lingering sadness in Haruki Murakami's writing can be said to be the representative of post-war mourning culture in Sakura.

Zhang Yi slowly read the entire book, closed it gently, and stuffed it back on the bookshelf.

It's not that he's being pretentious, but it's rare for him to read a book on a whim, and he may not have such thoughts in the future.

There is no need to move the library back and let it gather dust in a different space.

Zhang Yi is the kind of person who wants to buy any book when he goes to a bookstore, but loses interest once he takes it home.

He raised his wrist and turned the Rolex watch out of his sleeve.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. As usual, he should collect some food and bring it back to the community.

Zhang Yi murmured in a low voice: "I don't know when those guys will be tricked! I have to slowly lower their vigilance and then find the right opportunity to strike."

Zhang Yi left the library, went to the supermarket to collect a corresponding amount of supplies, and then rode a snowmobile back to the community.

Among the people who came to collect supplies today, there were a few more building captains.

Wang Qiang and Huang Tianfang were both among the crowd, looking expectantly at the snakeskin bag at Zhang Yi's feet.

The two's goals were naturally the cigarettes and liquor that Zhang Yi promised to bring them back.

The reason why I came here to get it myself was to devour it all to myself.

Otherwise, these rare good things can easily cause conflicts between them and their subordinates.

Wang Qiang and Huang Tianfang both knew it. When they got the cigarettes yesterday, their subordinates were a little overwhelmed.

When he saw them coming to pick up the food in person, Zhang Yi's lips raised an undetectable smile.

"Okay, everyone, line up in order and come over to receive the food!"

When the building manager of Building 1 came over, he suddenly whispered to Zhang Yi: "Zhang Yi, can you bring Wang Qiang and Huang Tianfang cigarettes for them? Can you also bring them for us?"
