"If you keep yelling, I'll stab you to death!"

Jiang Fei put the bucket into the supermarket warehouse, took out the dagger, approached 2102 carefully, and observed the situation inside through the half-open door.

Old Mrs. Xu sat on the ground in a panic.

The man in the floral shirt held a piece of broken glass against her neck.

The man in black clothes nearby was putting supplies for Old Lady Xu into a bag.

They were the two people who wanted to exchange garbage for medicine a few days ago.

Zhuzi said that the reason why the people downstairs were so crazy about asking for medicine was because they were fanning the flames behind the scenes.

Jiang Fei replaced the short knife with a bullet, aimed at the black clothes containing supplies, whoosh——

The steel ball hit the man in black clothes hard on the mouth.

"ah!"

"Keep your voice down! What if we attract others? We finally found some food, we must not share it with others!" The man in the flowered shirt whispered, but he found that the man in black clothes was covering his mouth, which was not right:

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"My mouth was hit by something, it hurts..."

While the two people's attention was diverted, Jiang Fei rushed in and cut off the neck of the man in the flowered shirt with a knife.

Before the man in black could react, Jiang Fei stabbed him in the back with his backhand.

The action was so quick and clean that even Old Mrs. Xu didn't react.

Jiang Fei helped Old Lady Xu up: "Are you injured?"

Old Mrs. Xu shook her head in shock and couldn't utter a word.

Jiang Fei found that Mrs. Xu couldn't stop shaking, so he helped her sit on the sofa and let her relax for a while.

Then, they opened the window and threw both bodies downstairs.

The snakes circling in the water instantly entangled the corpse and dragged it underwater to eat.

Jiang Fei closed the window, and Mrs. Xu's mood gradually recovered.

"Thank you, Jiang girl, for saving me again..."

"It's my fault that I wasn't alert enough. I thought the person knocking on the door was Qian Yao coming back, so I opened the door without asking."

Jiang Fei's eyes flickered: "Did Captain Xu go out to rescue?"

I wonder if he has met Director Ning.

"That should be it. Qianyao came back that day and stayed for a few hours before leaving. He has only been home once since then."

Old Mrs. Xu picked up an empty bag and handed it to Jiang Fei: "Girl, I don't know what you need. Take a look here to see if there is anything you need. Take it all away."

"Qian Yao sent me a lot of food and drinking water, so feel free to pack them. Don't be polite to grandma."

Jiang Fei declined Mrs. Xu's kindness: "I have enough supplies, nothing is missing."

"The door at the staircase is broken, but I have a spare electric door at home that can be installed. Although it has no electricity now, it is safe enough to prevent thieves from coming in."

She had this idea after the dressing change incident happened.

Instead of relying on pillars for their 24-hour defense, it would be better to install an electric switch.

What's more, Ling Zhaorui also lives on the 21st floor.

Given his physical condition, he would be dead if he encountered a home robbery.

Old Mrs. Xu was so grateful that she didn't know what to say. She directly filled two bags of food for Jiang Fei: "If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me, an old woman."

Hearing this, Jiang Fei had no choice but to accept it. Lu Yu came down to help install the electric switch, and gave him half of the supplies as a reward.

After giving the spare key to Old Lady Xu and Ling Zhaorui, Jiang Fei found a deserted place, took out an empty bucket and went downstairs to catch water snakes.

There were not many cockroaches and centipedes left in Building A. Jiang Fei did not waste protective clothing and only wore gloves.

Some of the people living in the corridor spotted Jiang Fei and followed him, hoping to find a chance to ask about the change of the dressing.

As a result, I saw the girl grabbed a water snake with an expressionless face, threw it roughly against the wall to kill it, and threw it into the bucket.

The tracker silently returned the same way.

It’s better not to ask, as he is afraid that his head will also be smashed.

—

Half a month passed in a flash.

The water level receded to the 3rd floor.

Officials sent helicopters every three days to drop boxes of supplies to ensure the safety of the survivors.

Building A of Magnolia Garden has welcomed the long-lost peace.

As for the 22nd floor.

Xiao Chuxia concentrated on making medicine from snakes, Ling Zhaorui was recuperating from his injuries, and Lu Yu stayed at home with Dahuang.

Jiang Fei, who had some free time, used this time to make a lot of cold dishes.

Spicy cold lotus root slices, black fungus, potato chips, enoki mushrooms, and hot and sour boneless chicken feet all go well with rice.

Ding-ling-ling—the doorbell rang.

After installing the electric switch on the 21st floor, Lu Yu reinstalled the doorbell on the 22nd floor.

Jiang Fei went out to check.

Xu Qianyao was holding two things wrapped in brown paper and was still wearing protective clothing that he had not had time to change out of.

"Miss Jiang, I heard from grandma about what happened a few days ago. Thank you for saving her. I brought some meat patties over for you."

Noticing Lu Yu coming out of 2203, Xu Qianyao lowered his voice and said, "Actually, this is a new official food. It has a strong sense of satiety, a long storage time, and high nutritional value."

"It's hard to find supplies right now, keep these for when you need them."

Jiang Fei opened the brown paper and took a glance.

They are round cakes the size of a palm, without any outer packaging.

It's like the beef patties in a hamburger, but the ingredients used are bugs and mice.

She was lucky in her previous life and got a few pieces.

It's dry and has no seasoning, and sometimes you can even eat insect legs and rat tails.

No one knew about it at first, but later the authorities could no longer conceal it and told everyone the truth.

It seems that the supplies outside are indeed in short supply now, and the official brand meat patties have appeared in advance.

"Ms. Jiang, regarding the novel you mentioned last time, is it still with you?"

Xu Qianyao asked nervously.

He had been chatting with Director Ning not long ago and mentioned the plot of the apocalyptic novel, thinking it was a joke. Unexpectedly, the experts' predictions on that day turned out to be abnormal.

The temperature will get lower and lower in the coming days.

Even Director Ning has already reported to his superiors that he plans to set up a safety station.

Jiang Fei lied without blushing: "I can't find it. That novel was read in my previous school."

Xu Qianyao looked disappointed and changed the subject: "The officials have been out and about a lot recently. If there was any loud noise, it probably wouldn't have escaped their ears."

"I heard that someone in the neighborhood next door secretly hid a hunting rifle and used it in public, and was caught by the authorities."

The implication was that Jiang Fei should hide the gun and not use it again.

Just because Jiang Fei was grandma's savior, he could turn a blind eye.

Understanding Xu Qianyao's meaning, Jiang Fei replied "OK" and turned off the power.

Lu Yu, who was in the corridor, was about to go home when he saw that there was no danger, but was stopped by Jiang Fei.

"Captain Xu sent me some meat patties. Try them."

Let Lu Yu adapt in advance.

Jiang Fei picked the biggest piece for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took the meat pie doubtfully.

Why did he feel that his neighbor had bad intentions?

Lu Yu took a bite of the meat pie in his hand, it was oily and fishy. He frowned slightly, and suddenly saw a piece of foreign matter sticking out from the place he had just bitten.

Pull it out and take a look.

It looked like some animal's leg, a small one.

It was exactly the same as the rat legs he had eaten at the media company that day.

Jiang Fei was surprised.

I didn’t expect that Lu Yu would “win the prize” the first time he ate it.

Lu Yu was in a delicate mood: "This is..."

Before he could utter the word "mouse cake", there was a click.

Xiao Chuxia opened the door and walked out.

Lu Yu quickly put the mouse's leg into his palm and pretended nothing had happened.

"No wonder you ignored me when I knocked on the door just now, it turns out you were outside."

"I've already made the medicine. There are 10 bottles in total. Together with Grandma Xu, it's just right for us to have two bottles each."

As she spoke, Xiao Chuxia gave the medicine bottles to Lu Yu and Jiang Fei:

"Eh? What are you holding, young lady?"

"Try the meat pie sent from downstairs." Jiang Fei did the same thing and tricked Xiao Chuxia into taking a bite of the meat pie.

Xiao Chuxia said with disgust: "It's so unpalatable, the meat is not tender at all, and the texture is sandy."

"Was it given by Grandma Xu?"

Seeing Jiang Fei and Lu Yu's expressions, which were the same as the last time she saw her eating a mouse, Xiao Chuxia swallowed the dry meat pie with difficulty, and said hesitantly: "This can't be made of snake meat..."

Jiang Fei shook his head: "It's a bug."

Lu Yu opened his palm: "There are also mice."

Xiao Chuxia: “…”

There are bad people among the crowd!!!

In the end, Xiao Chuxia suppressed her nausea and finished the meat pie.

It’s food after all, we can’t waste it!

Lu Yu also ate the meat pie in his hand and went home to calm down.

Xiao Chuxia went downstairs to deliver medicine to Ling Zhaorui and Old Mrs. Xu.

Jiang Fei asked her to bring a piece of meat pie down for Ling Zhaorui to try. When they were about to return to 2202, they suddenly heard a faint buzzing sound.
