On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...
The storm lasted for a month, and now the water level in Lingcheng has risen to the third floor.
Fortunately, the heavy rain has almost stopped in the past few days.
Su Keke and a few people on the 20th floor have been growing vegetables and practicing archery these days.
Su Keke made rapid progress. After three or four days of practice, she was able to hit the bull's eye within 10 meters, just like Meng Yi.
"Keke! You really are an archery genius! It took me a year of on-and-off practice to reach this level, but you only took four days!"
He was surprised and impressed by Su Keke's rapid progress in archery.
The others learned it fairly well, and Chen Li and Chen Da could occasionally hit the bull's eye within 10 meters.
Grandma Qiao, Lu Mei and Shi Huan are at the same level. They have learned a lot of theoretical knowledge and their bow and arrow postures are very beautiful, but they just can't hit the target.
"You guys... why don't you practice some more..."
Meng Yi also couldn't understand. They and Su Keke were all women, so why was there such a big difference between them?
In fact, Su Keke had practiced gun shooting before, and she was pretty good at it. She also took two formal archery classes, so she would learn much faster than someone with no basic knowledge.
"Attention, residents of the community, the municipal government will distribute relief food from 1:00 to 4:00 this afternoon on the 5th floor of the nearby Dingshang Hotel. Please bring your ID card to collect it."
At 11 o'clock in the morning, two staff members from the Municipal Office and a soldier drove a speedboat and carried a loudspeaker to shuttle through various communities and shout messages.
Many people cheered happily when they heard the sound. Some opened their windows and shouted to confirm, while others complained that the government had only just come out to rescue.
As the municipal government's speedboat sailed farther and farther away, everyone was discussing when to go to collect relief food, only to discover a big problem.
The flood has reached the third floor. How are they going to get to the Dingshang Hotel to get food?
"Alas! The government didn't even leave a boat for us! Are we supposed to fly over there?"
"Yes! How can we go without a boat? Isn't this life-threatening? We only have a handful of noodles left today. What should we do?"
Su Keke and the others on the 20th floor naturally heard it as well.
"Did you hear that? The government is giving us supplies!" Lu Mei, who had just picked up a feather arrow from the ground, shouted happily.
The meat and vegetables they had stored in their refrigerator had been almost finished.
The only things left were some fast food, such as instant noodles, hand-pulled pancakes, etc., and the rice and flour that I had brought back with great effort that day.
All these things combined should be enough for their family to eat for ten days.
"The country really hasn't given up on us, Keke, you're right!" Shi Huan pounced on Su Keke and almost picked her up and spun her around.
Several men were also discussing how to get relief food. Although Dingshang Hotel is not far from Changhong Community, it used to take only half an hour to walk there.
Now the flood outside has reached the third floor, and it is impossible to get out without a boat.
While no one was paying attention, Grandma Qiao secretly pulled Su Keke aside and asked, "Was relief food distributed at this time in the previous life?"
"No! In the last life, we received relief food when the extreme cold was approaching. And most of the food was soaked in water."
Su Keke said in a low voice.
Could it be that the anonymous email I sent worked? The government in this life obviously sent out relief food much earlier. I'll go and see what it sent out when the time comes.
"Then shall we go and get it?" Grandma Qiao asked.
Su Keke raised the corner of her mouth, "Go! Of course I'll go!"
They had so much supplies stored up, so they certainly didn't lack the relief food. But if I didn't go to get it, people would naturally suspect me after a while.
Not to mention people far away, even Lu Mei and Shi Huan on the 20th floor would think that there was something wrong between her and Grandma Qiao.
Su Keke didn't distrust Lu Mei and the others, but the fewer people who knew that she had a space, the better. After all, no one would trust her as much as Grandma Qiao did.
"Aunt Qiao, Keke! Come here quickly, we have to find a way to get out." Lu Mei waved towards Su Keke and asked them to come over to discuss it.
"Okay!" Su Keke gave Grandma Qiao a look, meaning that we should talk about it after we get home.
…
The time soon came to one o'clock in the afternoon, and some families who had kayaks had already set out to collect food.
There were a lot of people lying by the windows of several nearby buildings. They saw that others had boats but they couldn't go, and they were so anxious that they kept stamping their feet at home.
Su Keke also saw a few people who were waiting at the exit for those who had kayaks, and they would grab one from each family.
Not long after, Su Keke saw that all the kayaks in several communities had been snatched away.
"How dare they rob in broad daylight?" Chen Da said angrily.
"Uncle Chen, there is a serious shortage of police force now. People are dying everywhere, and basically no one cares about these robberies!" Su Keke said expressionlessly.
"Then what should we do? You finally found a rubber boat left by the landlord, you can't let these people steal it."
Lu Mei looked at Su Keke with worry in her eyes. This rubber boat was the life of the people on the 20th floor. They would have to rely on it to go out and collect supplies in the future.
"Let's bring weapons with us. We will kill anyone who dares to steal our rubber boat." Su Keke pointed at the bow and arrow in his hand and said fiercely.
"Okay... okay!" It was the first time that Lu Mei saw Su Keke like this. It was as if she had become a different person.
The people on the 20th floor were all fully armed, wearing long sleeves, long pants and Martin boots, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs, ready to go out.
After opening the security door, Chen Da, Meng Yi and Chen Li, three men, walked in front carrying a small rubber boat.
Su Keke held Grandma Qiao's hand, Lu Mei held Shi Huan's, and the four of them followed behind. It was the first time that the 20th floor went out in such a grand manner.
"I told you they had something good!"
The men and women who had been to the 20th floor to try to take advantage were now setting up tents on the 19th floor. When they saw Su Keke and his group carrying the rubber boat, their eyes were glued to it.
"What's the use of having good stuff? Won't it be robbed on the third floor?" Another man pointed out the window with disdain on his face, telling everyone to go and watch the show.
They had been leaning on the window and looking for a long time. There were two families in the building that had kayaks, and they seemed to be residents on the 5th and 7th floors.
Originally, they wanted to wait for the two families to come back after receiving the relief food, and then go and borrow it. As for whether to return it or not, that depended on their mood.
Unexpectedly, just as his plan came into effect, the two residents were robbed at the door of their own building.
The people who robbed the kayaks were all tall and strong, with machetes in their hands. They were obviously gangsters.
You can't afford to offend these people.
When Su Keke went downstairs, she also saw these people who had been to the 20th floor before, standing at the stairs on the 19th floor and staring at them.
They all looked so greedy that Su Keke rolled her eyes at them.
As they walked down the stairs, many people looked at them with greedy eyes. However, there were also some who really wanted to borrow the rubber boat.
Su Keke and the others ignored them all. In this situation, as long as you agree to one person, you can never refuse others.
In the end, one will end up with nothing. Su Keke has seen too many such things in her previous life.
