Chapter 36 Ruthless Woman
Due to the frozen water pipes, the water supply in the neighborhood became a major issue.
People wanted to drink water, but they had to brave the subzero temperatures of over 158 degrees Fahrenheit outside to fetch snow water from the first floor.
However, once they retrieved the snow water, melting it became a big problem.
The indoor temperature was also below 140 degrees Fahrenheit, making the solid ice as hard as cement.
Some residents, extremely thirsty, resorted to licking the ice with their tongues, only to have their tongues stuck and frozen.
During these days, Steven noticed through surveillance cameras that Andrew's men came every day to spy on him.
Evidently, they believed Steven would also come out to fetch water, planning to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate him.
However, several days passed, and they never saw Steven leave his house.
They couldn't imagine how abundant Steven's supplies were in his home.
As long as he wished, he could live in this room without any worries until death!
"Is Andrew still alive? He's quite resilient," Steven muttered to himself.
Andrew had been shot in the leg, and without proper treatment, his leg would surely be crippled.
Moreover, due to infection, he might even lose his life.
Not to mention that under such extremely low temperatures, any injury would cause a high fever.
It was truly a miracle that he could survive!
"Could it be that because the temperature is too low, the virus cannot survive, so he's still alive?" Steven, not well-versed in medicine, couldn't understand why Andrew was still alive.
But he didn't care much. Whoever lived or died outside wouldn't have much impact on him.
Andrew's death was just a matter of time.
The next morning, after waking up, Steven groggily picked up his phone.
It was his greatest pleasure now to check the group chat messages every day and browse the forums to see the outside world.
In this apocalyptic world, watching others struggle in extremely low temperatures was a stark contrast to his heavenly life.
This stark contrast brought immense satisfaction to Steven.
At least, it dispelled his boredom and occasional loneliness.
Compared to those starving to death or struggling on the brink of death, he felt incredibly fortunate!
Opening his phone, to his surprise, he saw that the first messages were from Alice and Ivy.
Alice: [Steven, I'm sorry. I might have been too cold yesterday, so I was in a bad mood towards you. I shouldn't have been angry with you.]
[You're right. I used to be too naive and immature. I didn't realize who truly cared for me.]
[Now I understand that you're the best person for me. Deep down, I really like you.]
[Can you forgive me? Let's live together well in the future!]
[I want to be your woman. Living alone, won't you feel lonely too?]
[I can come over to accompany you, so you won't be lonely during the apocalypse.]
Steven sighed deeply.
Previously, the always cold and aloof Alice finally, in the face of disaster, abandoned all her dignity and arrogance.
Even though Steven had mocked her mercilessly, she had to set aside her pride to please him.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Steven shook his head. He had been foolish in the past.
If he had known she was this kind of woman, he wouldn't have had to exert so much effort to win her over.
Women like Alice, who were clearly worthless, insisted on pretending to be goddesses of purity.
Clearly despicable, yet pretending to be innocent!
Steven replied, "While rotten pears can quench thirst, I'm not that desperate yet."
He was a man with The extradimensional space by his side.
At the very least, The extradimensional space contained many items he could use!
Those were high-end products developed by Sakura Nation.
It wasn't that Steven wanted them; it was just that Walmart's warehouse had a wide variety.
After closing Alice's chat interface, Steven opened Ivy's.
This woman was even bolder than Alice.
She probably knew her looks didn't match up to Alice's, so she went straight for a few suggestive selfies.
Steven quickly replied, "I feel nothing inside, almost wanting to laugh at you after seeing your photos."
Then, he ignored her.
He knew that after these two women saw the beauty of his home, they would stop at nothing to enter his house.
Now that they had abandoned their dignity to beg him, they would resort to any means later.
But what could they do?
Steven had spent a fortune turning his home into a fortress to handle any possible situation.
Upon receiving Steven's reply, Alice and Ivy erupted in anger again.
They had forsaken even their dignity, humbly begging Steven.
Especially Ivy, who had taken selfies of every possible angle and pose.
Steven actually said he almost wanted to laugh at her after seeing her photos.
Too much!
Although she didn't have the time or energy to dress up and put on makeup now, her appearance and figure were lacking, but she was still a woman!
She also deserved her dignity as a woman!
The more they thought about it, the more they couldn't bear it.
Living in such hellish conditions now, they not only had to endure hunger but also extreme cold.
Steven's home was their last hope!
Alice gritted her teeth, a fierce look in her eyes.
"If all else fails, we'll just rush into his house!"
"I must live in his house. I don't want to endure hunger and cold anymore!"
"If all else fails, killing Steven won't matter!"
As long as she could move into Steven's house, she was willing to do anything!
Though she thought that way, she was still a delicate woman after all.
If she went to Steven's house and caused trouble, she would definitely be no match for him.
Thinking this, Alice looked at the next door with cold gaze.
She and Ivy had severed ties, revealing each other's true colors as former fake friends.
But now, Alice needed someone to help her.
So she went to the next door and said to Ivy, "That damned bastard Steven, he's watching us starve and freeze without a care, refusing to let us into his house."
"We can't just sit around and wait," she said firmly, suggesting, "That house is too good for him. Let's find a way to take it over!"
Upon hearing Alice's suggestion, Ivy was also very excited.
If pleading with Steven didn't work, then they would have to resort to deception and robbery!
"Alright, I agree with you!" Ivy replied.
"Steven, that despicable man, why does he deserve to live in such a nice house!"
"He should get out, freeze to death, get bitten by wild dogs!"
"Moving into his house is the most fitting solution!"
