Chapter 73: Can't Live, Can't Die

Shi Jiaojiao and her three companions returned to the community safely.

The other owners were all tempted when they saw the car full of supplies.

Since someone has already explored the road, it proves that there is no danger now.

When they saw Shi Jiaojiao and the others driving out again, many survivors in the community also started to move.

If you're lucky, you might be able to find food.

Even if you can't find food, you can find some wood and thick clothes.

It was already cold these days, and it had rained for three days. The chill was like needles that could pierce into the bones.

Those who are still alive now are basically those who have good physical fitness and quick thinking.

Of course, there are also people who are frightened by acid rain and would rather starve than step out of the door.

At this time, in a room on the 6th floor of Building 2, several men were gathered together.

In the past few days, they have pried open many doors from house to house, and their living standards have risen sharply.

Of course, there are not many delicious dishes, after all, everyone is poor now.

There are quite a few good things on the 20th floor, but the problem is that those four guys are more brutal than each other. Who dares to go there?

"The people on the 20th floor are really lucky..." one of them sighed.

The man who was speaking was holding a cigarette in his hand, and he took every puff with great care.

Cigarettes are a precious commodity now. In the past, he could never find a box of cigarettes for seven dollars and fifty cents!

As soon as he finished taking a puff, the cigarette was snatched away by the man next to him, "That's enough, you took such a long puff!"

These five people only met after the end of the world.

Ever since I made a fortune in the building last time, my living standard has skyrocketed.

Ambition gradually expanded.

"Old Liu, should we also go out and look for supplies?" a man suggested.

As soon as he said this, Lao Liu rejected it, "Go for it, what if the acid rain suddenly starts again? Are you going to die?"

Old Liu is totally different from his appearance. He is in his forties and although he looks honest, his nature is not.

He was the first one to suggest searching through the dead bodies and their belongings that day.

He was the one who reacted quickly that day and was the first to apologize to Shi Jiaojiao.

Old Liu held a toothpick in his mouth and sneered, "Instead of going out, it's better to think about how to prevent those four people from coming back."

After saying that, he changed another toothpick.

I don't know which household the pork jerky was found from, but it had become dry and tough after being stored for a long time.

Others also reacted.

Yes, the 20th floor is Jinshan of Tiantai Community.

Even if you work hard outside for a week, the supplies you get may not be as much as those two layers combined.

"Lao Liu, do you think we should go up and pry the door open?" Someone couldn't help but suggest.

Lao Liu slapped him on the head, "Can't you see the electric fence on the door? I don't want to become a barbecue."

Everyone felt a little embarrassed.

"However, there is a solution..." Old Liu said thoughtfully.

***

Shi Jiaojiao didn't know that the four of them were being targeted again.

At this point, they had already visited two decoration companies and even searched the warehouse, but still couldn't find the two materials they wanted.

But a thief never leaves empty-handed, bah, cross it out, it’s to develop the habit of not wasting a single stitch, and put all the useful things in the car.

Including but not limited to various wooden furniture, water pipes, wires, sofa pillows, blankets, and curtains in soft furnishings.

Shi Jiaojiao also secretly stuffed two animal-shaped stools into the golden house.

An alpaca and a unicorn.

The four of them didn't dare to waste any more time, so they just picked up a few things and rushed to the next destination.

After searching all the decoration shops near the villa area, nothing was found.

It was already past 2 a.m.

Everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts.

If they couldn't find it today, they would have to prepare for the worst.

Not only will they not have much time tomorrow, but the acid rain will also last longer.

The roof cannot withstand the long-term erosion.

No one planned to go home and rest. They held their breath and were determined to find the target.

Next, Mu Ci drove to the decoration company that Tang Wei mentioned.

Just as she was about to enter the door, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly thought of something and glanced at Tang Wei.

Now, other people also reacted.

Because they were in a hurry to go out this time, everyone forgot about the bad luck buff on Tang Wei.

Lian Tang had completely forgotten about it, but now he suddenly remembered it and jumped up to ten meters away from the entrance of the decoration company.

The three men pried open the door, broke the glass, and went inside.

Several people entered the warehouse first.

As expected, without the unlucky guy Tang Wei, everyone did not disappoint again.

After careful inspection, the three of them finally found what they were looking for in the corner.

Silicon-based nano-penetrating waterproofing agent!

Maybe because of poor sales, the box is covered with dust.

This material comes in barrels, just like paint.

Four barrels per box.

We simply moved four boxes, which was enough to paint the roof several times.

When leaving, Shi Jiaojiao secretly moved five more boxes and smuggled them into the space.

If you don't have this kind of material prepared, you can save a few boxes to be prepared in the future.

After returning to the car, the space inside was full again.

Everyone can only go back to the community first.

Fortunately, I found the material, and I felt relieved.

When going upstairs, Mu Ci and Tang Wei carried a camping cart with four boxes of waterproofing agent and some miscellaneous things in it.

Shi Jiaojiao and Wang Jia each held a sack of things in their hands.

As usual, everyone climbed upstairs while chatting.

The corridor was pitch black, but as my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, I could see the road clearly under my feet through the moonlight.

So, no one wasted the flashlight's power.

Suddenly, Tang Wei, who was walking in front, cried out in pain. Just as Shi Jiaojiao and the other two were about to go forward to check, three men suddenly jumped out from behind the fire door in the stairwell...

Two held knives and one held a stool leg.

The two men holding knives went straight to Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci, and the one holding the stool leg rushed towards Wang Jia.

Shi Jiaojiao was at the middle corner of the stairs, about three or four meters away from the man rushing up from below.

Mu Ci realized something was wrong, and without even turning his head, he kicked the man who was rushing in front of him and sent him flying.

Then he turned around quickly and walked to Shi Jiaojiao.

Shi Jiaojiao noticed someone behind her and stabbed back with her knife.

As the sharp knife pierced into the body, a shrill scream rang out.

Turning around, the man who was rushing towards Wang Jia had several holes in his body, with blood splattered everywhere, the most serious of which was the hole on his face.

He grimaced in pain, his face covered with snot and tears.

It is literally a situation where one cannot live or die.

Shi Jiaojiao walked forward and stabbed him in the chest, killing him quickly.

The man who was kicked away by Mu Ci covered his chest and tried to run away, shouting, "Please, let me go, I was wrong."

But as he watched Mu Ci getting closer, he realized that he couldn't escape, and his face turned pale instantly.

As the Internet says, it's whiter than a body that has been dead for three days.

He kept shouting "Help", but no one showed up from the beginning till now.

Mu Ci didn't want to waste time and broke his neck cleanly.

Several people hurriedly helped Tang Wei upstairs.

When he got home, after Tang Wei took off his shoes, his socks were already stained with blood.
