Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: The Path to Death

At this moment.

A drop of liquid fell onto Wang LianDa's hand.

He turned his head in astonishment.

Ma Yinjiao was staring straight at Lin Lang in the distance, with her mouth agape, drooling all the way:

"So, Lin Bulang that little thing looks so good-looking!"

"I'm going to play him to death later!"

Upon hearing this, Wang LianDa smirked disdainfully:

"Look at yourself, like a fat pig. Will anyone pay attention to you?"

But he began to have a thought.

So he said to Ma Yinjiao:

"Here's the deal! Later, we'll control that Lin Bulang! You take him, and the little girl will be mine. From then on, our paths won't cross. How's that?"

Ma Yinjiao glanced at Wang LianDa:

"Tsk! You're still eyeing that little girl? Look at your age, you're old enough to be her father!"

Wang LianDa was instantly annoyed:

"You're old enough to be her mother!"

...

Just as this bickering pair was arguing.

Lin Lang spoke up arrogantly:

"Hey, whose WeChat nickname is, 'Feiyangyang You Cannot Look'?"

The person who said they had heart disease medication in the group chat.

A man hurriedly raised his hand and stepped forward:

"Me, me, me!"

"I brought the medicine!"

He took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and waved it in front of Lin Lang.

At this moment.

Another person squeezed out:

"Boss! I also have heart disease medication! It's imported; my mom used to take it. She passed away a few days ago, and there's still quite a bit left..."

Then another one:

"Me too! I have some as well!"

After that, it became uncontrollable.

Several people crowded in front of Lin Lang, desperately showcasing their medicines.

Afraid to miss this chance to exchange for resources!

"Alright."

Lin Lang nodded calmly.

"I'll take as much as you have."

Those people were instantly overjoyed.

Seeing this, others were eager to move, all preparing to approach Lin Lang.

If Lin Lang's resources were limited, exchanging earlier would be better!

Seeing their actions, Lin Lang quickly stopped them:

"Don't all come at once; who am I supposed to listen to in all this noise? One by one."

Upon hearing this, those people exchanged glances.

Only then did they calm down.

Lin Lang first waved over [Feiyangyang You Cannot Look]:

"Let's trade with you first. What resources do you want to exchange for?"

The man was overjoyed, but suddenly didn't know how to speak, hesitated for a while, then said:

"Can I trade for some food and water..."

Lin Lang said calmly:

"Ten packs of instant noodles, ten bottles of purified water."

"Holy crap!"

The surrounding people exclaimed!

Ten packs of instant noodles, ten bottles of purified water, enough to sustain a person for another ten days!

They didn't expect Lin Lang to be so generous!

Right off the bat providing resources for ten days!

"Truly worthy of Lin Bulang! What astonishing moves!"

While others thought it was generous.

The man still seemed a bit hesitant.

This price.

Actually hadn't reached his expectations.

Heart disease medication, although he didn't need it himself, he knew it could save lives!

Maybe Lin Bulang himself needed it.

Or perhaps the woman beside Lin Bulang needed it.

But regardless of who among them!

A life shouldn't be worth just ten packs of noodles and ten bottles of water, right?

If he agreed like this, it seemed a bit of a loss.

He wanted to raise the price a bit.

But he was afraid that asking for more might anger Lin Bulang, causing the trade to be called off entirely. That would be disastrous!

Lin Lang calmly looked at him, not urging.

After all, they were surely more anxious than he was.

As expected.

The man couldn't hold back and said:

"Bulang Bro!"

"Can you add a bit more? Just a little!"

Lin Lang said:

"Sure, I'll add ten eggs for you."

"Holy crap!"

The crowd around exclaimed again!

Boss!

Do you not understand the concept of "a little"?

That's ten eggs!

Eggs are rich in protein; their value in a post-apocalyptic environment speaks for itself!

One egg's nutrition rivals ten packs of instant noodles!

Seeing this situation, people began to redefine their ideal prices...

The man saw Lin Lang agreeing so promptly, his eyes lit up:

"Bro, do you have any meat? Can you add a bit of meat?"

Lin Lang frowned slightly:

"That's kind of excessive."

The man, startled, hurriedly shoved the medicine into Lin Bulang's arms:

"No need to add meat! It's enough! It's enough!"

His main goal was to trade the medicine away!

After all, he didn't have heart disease, so the medicine was just trash to him.

But at that moment.

A voice sneered from outside the crowd:

"A bunch of fools! Do you really believe this Lin Bulang?"

"Open your eyes and take a look!"

"Did Lin Bulang bring any supplies?"

With these words.

People's expressions immediately changed!

They all looked behind Lin Lang.

Sure enough, these two people came empty-handed, without any supplies whatsoever!

They didn't even notice this problem until now!

The man who just gave Lin Lang the medicine was also startled on hearing this!

Hurriedly he snatched the medicine back, cradling it in his arms.

He looked at Lin Lang with a face full of terror.

The crowd murmured:

"Didn't he say it was a trade meeting? Why didn't he bring any supplies!"

"Could he be trying to deceive us?"

"What does he want to do? Get something for nothing?"

...

Lin Lang narrowed his eyes.

He turned his gaze toward the source of the voice.

Wang LianDa came out from behind the crowd with Ma Yinjiao.

With a sneer on his face, but anger burning in his eyes:

"So you're Lin Bulang! I'm the property manager of the community, Wang LianDa!"

"Did you get my permission before attempting to cheat them out of their supplies?"

He turned around to the others and said:

"Everyone! I'm the community's property manager, I will be responsible for everyone's survival needs!"

"I've repeatedly warned everyone in the group not to trust this Lin Bulang!"

"He's nothing but a fraud!"

"Why do you think he agreed to your conditions so quickly, adding eggs or meat just like that? Because it's all empty promises, he never intended to fulfill them!"

...

With these words, the crowd became restless!

People thought his words made sense!

What's more, his title as the "community property manager" truly gave him an aura, earning him more trust.

But someone mumbled:

"That's not right, Lin Bulang doesn't seem to be lacking supplies!"

This was undeniable.

Seeing Lin Bulang's condition was entirely different from those struggling for survival!

How could this be faked?

Wang LianDa sneered coldly:

"He might indeed have some supplies! But those supplies aren't meant for you!"

"I'm different!"

"I've brought the supplies here, genuinely!"

With that, he gestured, and several security guards brought up a large backpack.

When opened.

Inside were sausages, instant noodles, braised eggs...

The crowd immediately went wild!

They had been hungry for days, and seeing so much food made them almost want to pounce and eat!

But.

Ma Yinjiao stepped forward, like a towering wall, blocking the backpack.

Her massive frame.

Made people snap out of their frenzy instantly.

Wang LianDa sneered:

"I can trade supplies too!"

The people were thrilled!

Compared to Lin Bulang's empty words.

This tangible and visible supply was much more impactful!

And Lin Lang, from beginning to end, just silently observed.

This Wang LianDa seemed to have a strong hostility towards him!

And that repulsive Ma Yinjiao, her tiny eyes were flitting back and forth on him.

It truly made Lin Lang feel physically uncomfortable.

Ning Shuangyu seemed a bit nervous, and said:

"Lin Lang! You said you came to trade supplies, why didn't you bring any? How do you explain this now?"

Lin Lang just shrugged:

"Why is there a need to explain?"

"If they don't want to trade, then don't trade."

"Only."

"That Wang LianDa, I see he has a death wish already..."

He looked into Wang LianDa's eyes and saw deep hatred.

He had a premonition.

This Wang LianDa was going to cause a big scene today!

Sure enough!

As soon as he finished speaking!

Wang LianDa suddenly pointed at Lin Lang and shouted:

"All residents! I have a suggestion!"

"This Lin Bulang, hoarding supplies, abducting young girls! And attempting to defraud your survival supplies! He's utterly vile!"

"Why not take him down while we're many!"

"Make him hand over all the supplies he has, to be fairly distributed among everyone!"

"Don't you agree?"

Immediately!

Everyone on the rooftop looked at Lin Lang.

And their gazes had changed.
