At this moment.
A drop of liquid fell onto Wang Lianda's hand.
He turned in shock to look.
There stood Ma Yinjiao, staring intently at Lin Lang in the distance, her mouth agape in obsession, drool pooling at her feet: "So it turns out Lin Bulang is this good-looking!"
"I'm going to play him to death later!"
Wang Lianda, upon hearing this, scoffed disdainfully: "Look at you, you fat pig. Do you really think he would be interested in you?"
But gradually, a thought began to form in his mind.
So he said to Ma Yinjiao, "How about this! Let's control that Lin Bulang later! He's yours, and that little girl is mine. From now on, we'll keep our distance, how about that?"
Ma Yinjiao shot him a glance: "Hmph! You're still eyeing that little girl? At your age, you're old enough to be her father!"
Wang Lianda immediately got angry: "And you're old enough to be her mother!"
...
Just as this pair of enemies was bickering.
Lin Lang spoke up arrogantly:
"Um, whose WeChat nickname is 'You're Not Allowed to Look at Fei Yangyang'?"
That was the person who claimed in the group chat to have medicine for heart disease.
A man hurriedly raised his hand and stepped forward: "Me! Me! Me!"
"I brought the medicine!"
He pulled out a bottle from his pocket and waved it in front of Lin Lang.
At that moment.
Another person squeezed forward:
"Boss! I also have heart disease medicine! Mine is imported, it was for my mom who passed away a few days ago, and there's still quite a bit left…"
Then another person chimed in:
"I have some too! Me!"
After that, it spiraled out of control.
Several people crowded in front of Lin Lang, desperately showcasing their medicine.
They were afraid of missing this opportunity to exchange for supplies!
"Alright."
Lin Lang calmly nodded.
"I'll take as much as you have."
The crowd erupted in joy.
Seeing this, the others also began to stir, preparing to approach Lin Lang.
If Lin Lang had limited supplies, it was definitely better to exchange sooner rather than later!
Seeing their actions, Lin Lang quickly called out, "Don't all rush at once! How can I hear anyone with all this noise? One at a time."
Upon hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances.
Only then did they settle down.
Lin Lang first waved to the one with the nickname "You're Not Allowed to Look at Fei Yangyang": "Let's trade first. What supplies do you want?"
The man was overjoyed but hesitated, unsure how to respond. After a long pause, he finally said:
"Can I exchange for some food and water…"
Lin Lang replied calmly: "Ten packs of instant noodles, ten bottles of purified water."
"Holy crap!"
The exclamation came from those around them!
Ten packs of instant noodles and ten bottles of purified water were enough to sustain a person for another ten days!
They hadn't expected Lin Lang to be so generous!
He was offering ten days' worth of supplies right off the bat!
"Truly worthy of being Lin Bulang! His generosity is astonishing!"
Others thought it was too much.
But the man involved still hesitated.
This price.
It hadn't quite reached his psychological expectation.
The medicine for heart disease, although he had no use for it, he knew it was life-saving! Either Lin Bulang needed it himself.
Or the woman beside Lin Bulang needed it.
But regardless of who it was! A life shouldn't be worth just ten packs of instant noodles and ten bottles of water, right?
Agreeing to this felt like a loss.
He wanted to raise the price a bit.
But he was also afraid that if he suggested a price that angered Lin Bulang, he might refuse to trade altogether, and then it would be completely over for him!
Lin Lang looked at him calmly, not rushing him.
After all, they were definitely more anxious than he was.
Sure enough.
The man couldn't hold back any longer and said:
"Lin Bulang!"
"Can you add a bit more? Just a little bit!"
Lin Lang replied: "Sure, I can add ten eggs for you."
"Holy crap!"
The onlookers gasped again! Boss!
Do you not understand the concept of "a little bit"?
That's ten eggs! Eggs are rich in protein, and their value in a post-apocalyptic environment is beyond words!
The nutrition of one egg is equivalent to ten packs of instant noodles!
Seeing this, the crowd began to redefine their ideal price…
The man, seeing Lin Lang agree so readily, couldn't help but light up: "B-Boss! Do you have any meat? Can you add a bit of meat?"
Lin Lang frowned slightly:
"That's a bit excessive."
The man shivered in fear and quickly shoved the medicine into Lin Bulang's arms:
"No need to add meat! This is enough! Enough!"
His main goal was still to exchange the medicine!
After all, he didn't have heart disease; the medicine would just be trash in his possession.
But at that moment.
A voice from the crowd sneered: "A bunch of fools! Do you really believe in this Lin Bulang?"
"Open your eyes and take a look!"
"This Lin Bulang, did he bring any supplies?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The expressions of the crowd changed instantly!
They all turned to look behind Lin Lang.
Sure enough, both of them had come empty-handed, without any supplies at all!
They hadn't noticed this issue until now!
The man who had just handed the medicine to Lin Lang was also startled! He quickly snatched the medicine back, clutching it to his chest.
He looked at Lin Lang in terror.
People murmured: "Wasn't he the one who said it was a trading event? Why didn't he bring any supplies!"
"Could it be that he's trying to trick us?"
"What does he want? To catch a wolf with empty hands?"
...
Lin Lang squinted his eyes.
He directed his gaze toward the source of the voice.
There stood Wang Lianda, accompanied by Ma Yinjiao, emerging from the crowd.
Wang Lianda wore a cold smile, but his eyes burned with anger:
"So you're Lin Bulang! I'm the property manager of the community, Wang Lianda!"
"You think you can deceive them out of their supplies without my consent?"
He turned to the others and said:
"Everyone! I'm the property manager of the community, and I will take responsibility for everyone's survival!"
"I've reminded everyone in the group more than once not to trust this Lin Bulang!"
"He's nothing but a scammer!"
"Why is he agreeing to your conditions so quickly, adding eggs and meat? That's because it's all empty promises; he never intended to follow through!"
...
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became restless!
Because everyone felt he made sense! Plus, his title as "community property manager" indeed gave him an aura that garnered more trust.
But some murmured: "No, I see that Lin Bulang doesn't seem to lack supplies at all!"
This was undeniable.
Looking at Lin Bulang's state, he was different from them, who were struggling to survive! How could this be faked? Wang Lianda sneered: "He might indeed have some supplies! But he has no intention of giving them to you!"
"I'm different!"
"I've brought real supplies!"
With that, he waved his hand, and several security guards brought up a large backpack.
Upon opening it.
It was filled with sausages, instant noodles, and marinated eggs…
The crowd went wild! They had been starving for days, and seeing so much food now made them want to pounce and eat first!
But.
Ma Yinjiao stepped forward, blocking the backpack like a wall.
Her massive frame instantly snapped everyone out of their frenzy.
Wang Lianda sneered:
"I can also trade supplies!"
The crowd erupted! Compared to Lin Bulang's empty promises.
The tangible supplies in front of them were far more impactful!
And Lin Lang had been silently observing from the side—
This Wang Lianda seemed to harbor a lot of hostility toward him!
And that disgusting Ma Yinjiao, her small eyes were drifting over him.
It truly made Lin Lang feel physically uncomfortable.
Ning Shuangyu seemed a bit anxious, saying: "Lin Lang! You said you came to trade supplies, but why didn't you bring any? How do you explain that now?"
Lin Lang shrugged:
"Why do I need to explain?"
"Since they don't want to trade, then it's fine not to trade."
"Just."
"That Wang Lianda, I see he's already on the path to death…"
He looked into Wang Lianda's eyes and saw deep hatred.
He had a premonition.
This Wang Lianda was going to cause a big incident today!
Sure enough!
As soon as he finished speaking!
Wang Lianda suddenly pointed at Lin Lang, shouting: "Dear residents! I have a proposal!"
"Th
is Lin Bulang is hoarding supplies, abducting young girls! He's trying to scam your survival supplies! He's utterly heinous!"
"Why don't we take advantage of the crowd and capture him now!"
"Make him hand over all his supplies and distribute them fairly among everyone!"
"What do you all think?"
Instantly!
Everyone on the rooftop turned their gaze toward Lin Lang.
Their expressions had changed.
