Ice Apocalypse (Season 1)

Chapter 151: Cloud Pavilion Manor

Zhang Yi instructed Xu Hao to communicate with Wang Siming and then began preparations for departure.

Xu Hao said, "This is simple. I told him that I need some time to deceive you into joining us. So, he has been waiting for my message!" "It's evident that he is very covetous of the resources in your hands, especially the snowmobile and food. If you nod, we can go there tomorrow!" Zhang Yi nodded, "Alright, communicate with him in front of me then."

Zhang Yi took Xu Hao's phone to prevent any secret actions. Xu Hao honestly communicated with Wang Siming in front of Zhang Yi, and they smoothly arranged for tomorrow's meeting.

"Wait for my message." Zhang Yi took back the phone and began preparing weapons and equipment at home.

Seeing him busy again, Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but ask, "Haven't the problems in the neighborhood been solved? Where are you going now?" "To a better place. Don't ask too much. I'll tell you when the time comes." Zhang Yi said indifferently.

Before leaving, after some contemplation, he left half a month's worth of food for her and Uncle You, just in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Zhou Ke'er looked worried. Zhang Yi had never made such a move before. Suddenly, she was afraid, walked over, and hugged Zhang Yi tightly.

"Zhang Yi, you... are you going to do something dangerous? I'm a bit scared."

Her tall and slender figure, combined with soft and full parts, would make anyone moved when she hugged a man. It was a natural advantage, perhaps not intended to seduce others, but it was innate.

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, smiling, "What? Do you want one last time before I leave?"

Zhou Ke'er blushed, "Up to you. This time, I can wear only a white shirt or an apron."

Zhang Yi chuckled, pinched her delicate chin. "Relax, I, Zhang Yi, never do things without certainty. I'm more afraid of death than anyone, won't put myself in danger."

"However, I always prepare in advance; it's my personal habit."

He embraced Zhou Ke'er's head, kissed passionately, and after a long time, he let her go, leaving a glistening thread between their lips.

"I have something important to do this afternoon. I'll tidy you up properly when I return."

Zhou Ke'er lay weakly on the sofa, blushing, and nodded softly, "Hmm."

Zhang Yi left with a smile, then knocked on Xu Hao's door.

"Xu Hao, open up!"

Xu Hao walked over, surprised to see Zhang Yi.

"Brother Zhang, do you have any instructions?"

Zhang Yi, wearing cut-resistant gloves, gestured with his thumb, "Let's go, we're setting off!"

Xu Hao's eyes widened.

"Haven't we agreed to go there tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Zhang Yi sneered. "All's fair in war. If we tell him tomorrow, we can catch him off guard by going today."

Xu Hao opened his mouth wide, thinking, "This is too cunning!"

But he still gave a thumbs up, "Impressive, truly impressive!"

Zhang Yi had another reason for doing this. People were suspicious, and Wang Siming, a playboy second-generation rich kid, was not stupid. If everything went too smoothly, he would become suspicious.

It was precisely because of Zhang Yi's sudden decision that Wang Siming would think that Zhang Yi had really fallen into the trap.

Taking Xu Hao, Zhang Yi arrived downstairs and pretended to fetch the snowmobile.

Xu Hao was about to get on, but Zhang Yi stopped him.

He took out a white plastic tie and said to Xu Hao, "Stick your hands out!"

This type of plastic tie was commonly used on construction sites to bind steel pipes. It was very sturdy and tightened the more one struggled, not much different from handcuffs.

Xu Hao pleaded with a bitter face, "Brother, why don't you trust me yet? I'm on your side, and I even have poison on me!"

Zhang Yi said indifferently, "Nothing special, I just feel more at ease this way. Also, when we get to Wang Siming, he will believe you more when he sees you tied up."

Although Xu Hao was unwilling, he understood that resisting was futile. He obediently stuck his hands out, letting Zhang Yi tie them together.

After finishing this, Zhang Yi had him sit in front of the snowmobile, while he sat behind, driving.

"Vroom!" The snowmobile roared to life, heading out of the neighborhood.

The snow and wind on Xu Hao's face felt like small knives, painfully making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

If he weren't wearing a thick turtleneck sweater, his face would probably freeze.

"Brother, the wind is making my face hurt. Do you have an extra helmet?"

Zhang Yi, wearing a bulletproof helmet, coldly said, "No. Endure for a while! Besides, the more miserable you look, the more realistic it seems."

At this moment, Xu Hao felt like crying.

...

An hour later, the two arrived near Cloud Pavilion Manor, the top villa area in Tianhai City.

After arriving, Zhang Yi looked around at the scenery and couldn't help but be stunned.

This place was simply too good, beyond words!

He had seen luxurious villas and skyscrapers before, but this villa area surpassed others, especially in terms of its geographical location.

Cloud Pavilion Manor was backed by two mountains, and in front was the Lujiang River of Tianhai City.

From afar, the terrain resembled a high official's chair, and Cloud Pavilion Manor sat in the middle of the chair.

Behind it was a natural barrier, and the wind passing through the two mountains would fall toward the Lujiang River in front.

This feng shui arrangement was obviously guided by a master.

Southern businessmen were obsessed with feng shui, so it was natural for such a luxurious villa area to have excellent feng shui.

However, what impressed Zhang Yi the most was that due to Cloud Pavilion Manor being shielded by two mountains, the neighborhood became a natural windbreak zone.

After heavy snowfall, the wind would blow the snow between the two mountains towards the Lujiang River.

As a result, while other places had accumulated snow several meters high, the snow here was only two or three meters deep.

"I originally thought that when the calamity of the apocalypse arrived, it would be fair to most people."

"But now it seems that even the heavens favor the wealthy."

Zhang Yi sighed.

Xu Hao patted him on the back, flattering, "What's the use of saying that? Compared to those wealthy people here, Brother Zhang, you're not living a good life!"

Zhang Yi smirked, "Stop flattering. Get down and lead the way!"
