Director Yu, a Master of Moral Blackmail

"This...this..."

Director Yu's fingers trembled, and he was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a moment.

The students behind him also saw it.

No one would have imagined that such a perverted note would exist.

"Renting out seats?! And you have to pay?! And by the minute?!"

"Five bottles of water in one minute?! Why doesn't he just rob someone?!"

Ten packs of biscuits?! That's all the food we eat for the day!

"Don't you have any humanity?! We're all classmates, down on our luck, and you still want money from us?!"

The wave of condemnation nearly engulfed the bus.

Director Yu's face turned ashen. He could no longer hold back and slammed his fist against the car window.

"Hey students inside! What do you mean by this?"

"Don't you have any compassion or classmate spirit? What era are we living in? We're all in this together; we should help each other!"

But the car windows remained closed.

Inside the car—

Director Yu's desperate questioning was muffled by the thick car windows.

But the intensity of that state was terrifying to anyone who saw it.

Deng Yuxin shrank back and whispered, "Chen Yu, they seem really angry..."

Zhang Wanyue shook her head: "It's just moral blackmail. That Director Yu used to bring up collective discipline back in school, and he's still using the same old tactics now."

Chen Yu nodded: "They're not angry that we're not cooperating, they're angry that we're doing better than them."

Wang Mengmeng leaned closer and scoffed, "Now you know it's cold? Chen Yu, we absolutely mustn't open the door! Let them freeze to death!"

Having grown accustomed to the cautious Wang Mengmeng, it's rare to see her so domineering.

The feeling of wanting to be punched is back.

This rekindled Chen Yu's desire to punish.

Chen Yu shook his head: "Since it's just sitting empty anyway, wouldn't it be better to sell some supplies?"

He wasn't afraid of what the group would do to the bus.

Due to the restrictions of the rules, the vehicle is not harmed by any passengers; it will only suffer damage naturally.

Of course, some disasters may unleash terrifying monsters or strange occurrences, in which case upgrading the protection of vehicles becomes especially important.

In other words, now,

The inside of the vehicle is an absolutely safe zone.

While quickly organizing the equipment she would take off the bus, Zhang Wanyue analyzed the situation without looking up.

"Director Yu wants to use this opportunity to establish his authority, and may even have other motives."

"Chen Yu, if we absolutely have to do that, then we... are very likely to become the target of everyone's attacks. After the mission begins, we need to be careful about being targeted by a united front..."

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "The target of everyone's criticism, well, but the premise is that they have a target to target."

Zhang Wanyue was taken aback; she hadn't expected there to be such an angle.

Deng Yuxin then asked, "Does anyone really want to exchange supplies for a seat? It's so expensive..."

Chen Yu leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes again.

"It will happen."

"And very soon."

There was still a full half hour before we entered the outpost for the mission.

The outside temperature is unbearable.

Continuing to push through will only lead to exhaustion, overheating, or even freezing to death.

indeed.

The price Chen Yu offered was not cheap.

It's fair to say that very few people can afford to give that.

But precisely because of this, Chen Yu looked forward to even more interesting things...

"I'll change!"

Suddenly, a cry rang out from outside: "I'll trade water for a seat! I can't feel my fingers! Let me up! Just one minute!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, thin boy breaking free from his companions' grasp and leaning against the car door!

Director Yu's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. This behavior was a complete slap in the face to him!

"My name is Chen Yu. Message me privately in the regional channel to initiate a resource trade. Pay first, then join the trade."

A sound came from inside the car, and a few seconds later...

The car door opened, and a warm stream of air rushed out!

The boy grabbed at the straw and squeezed in without a second thought!

The door closed immediately!

Only the shivering crowd remained in the snow...

The fleeting heat, as if it were still right in front of me, is not a pleasant feeling!

A minute passed.

The bus stood there quietly, its middle door tightly shut.

But the boy who got on the bus first didn't get off.

Now, the commotion in the crowd became even more pronounced!

"Why hasn't Xiao Wang come down yet? What's it like inside?"

"I hope nothing bad has happened to him."

"What happened! Didn't you see the steam that came out when the door opened just now!"

"I could feel it even standing behind me! Damn, I think I can't feel my toes anymore..."

"That guy had so many bottled water, he really hid them well!"

A second wavering party soon emerged.

A girl wearing glasses, her face pale and bluish, gritted her teeth and said, "I want to change seats too! Chen Yu! I'm making a deal, will you agree?"

The middle door opened a crack again, and she quickly slipped inside.

The door closed.

Similarly, it disappeared without a trace, never to be heard from again.

One after another.

The third, the fourth...

These people were unable to withstand the severe cold and traded precious supplies for the right to board the bus.

A few minutes later...

Suddenly someone yelled, "Holy crap! You beast! Wang Zikai! How dare you touch a public backpack!"

Wang Zikai was the first tall, thin boy to board the bus.

Soon, someone else realized:

"You motherfucker! Zhao Yue! You took all of everyone's life-saving water to exchange for seats?"

"Damn it, there's a traitor on our bus too!"

"Three bottles of water and two packets of dried meat are missing from the shared backpack! Did Li Qiang go upstairs just now?"

"You're not human! We're freezing like dogs here, scrimping and saving, and you traitors! You're taking everyone's things to enjoy yourselves?!"

"Get down here! Give your things back! Or we're not done with you!"

Accusations and angry shouts filled the air!

Several hot-tempered boys were already red-eyed and wanted to smash the car!

However, a sign indicating that the vehicle was undamaged appeared!

Director Yu's eyes darted around, and he cleared his throat: "These people are impervious to reason. I'll go up and see what they're up to! You all wait here and don't make any rash moves!"

As he spoke, he imitated the people who had boarded the bus before him, shouting, "Hey, classmate! Agree to the transaction request!"

The middle door slid open a crack!

Director Yu stepped into the carriage!

The next moment—

warmth!

An unimaginable warmth!

It felt like jumping from an ice cellar into a hot spring in an instant!

It even gave him a comfortable shiver!

A layer of white fog quickly covered the lenses of his glasses, so he took them off and wiped them.

After putting it on again, I looked into the carriage...

The scene before him left his mind completely blank.

The carriage was clean and tidy, the temperature was pleasant, and several students were wearing light clothing with rosy complexions.

On the small table in the middle of the aisle, there were still leftover hot pot dishes.

unbelievable!

That's defying the heavens to the extreme!

Director Yu looked at the boy who had opened the window; he was sitting at the very front, resting with his eyes closed...

This is hardly a post-apocalyptic survival story.

This is practically a luxury RV winter trip! And I even brought a bunch of beautiful female classmates along!

He took a few deep, greedy breaths and blurted out, "How can you do this here! We're all classmates, we should share everything! This environment, these resources..."

Director Yu took two more steps forward and reprimanded the students who had just boarded the bus.

"And you guys! You actually used everyone's resources for trading?! You've come here to enjoy yourselves?!"

"Get down here right now! I'm only counting to three..."

Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes: "Are you threatening my customer, Director Yu?"
