Chapter 27 Preparing for the Extreme Freeze

He looked up at Xu Xiaoyue and said, "Today, the others in the building went to the hotel shelter to dig for insect eggs and happened to see the bodies of your grandmother and brother."

After a pause, he said, "My condolences."

Xu Xiaoyue looked normal, "Yeah."

That night, Luo Baiwan made a roster for guarding the building, and it was his two younger brothers who volunteered to be on duty tonight.

The two were so excited that they couldn't sleep at all. The night duty was just right, so they told others about the battle record on the 16th floor that night.

Upstairs, Shen Qianxun and Chen Dabao’s homemade worm rice crackers came out of the oven, and they both agreed that the spicy flavor was the best.

Other people in the building also processed the insect rice they were allocated. After tasting the deliciousness of the insect rice, they just wanted to stock up.

In the last days, some are happy and some are sad.

Everyone in Building 16 was extremely grateful to have the God of War team on the 16th floor, plus the security door and the staff on duty, so they could finally sleep peacefully.

Before going to bed, Shen Qianxun remembered that the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots in the space had not been planted yet.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later."

These days have been really tiring, and studying medicine with Dr. Tang has to take a back seat.

The next night, Tang Yun and his wife moved to room 1604 next to Shen Qianxun, and the broken glass window was repaired.

Before the end of the world, Xu Xiaoyue's father and stepmother were in a northern coastal city, and they were also facing the typhoon. They were in the worst-hit area, and the hope of survival was almost zero.

The two of them needed a relatively private space, so they decided to move after getting Xu Xiaoyue's consent.

That night, Shen Qianxun and Chen Dabao came to learn from the master, with three boxes of chocolates and six boxes of condoms in their handbags.

Tang Yun looked at the figure washing dishes in the kitchen and said slowly, "Dubin and I are DINKs. He had a sterilization operation before the end of the world."

"But condoms are very useful. They stop bleeding very well. Thanks."

Shen Qianxun smiled and nodded, “Teacher, what are we going to learn tonight?”

Tang Yun, "Let me teach you some medical knowledge first."

With a "thump".

Qiao Yan trembled with fear as she watched her boyfriend Qin Zhen throw Wang Li's body into the water.

I couldn't stop muttering: "Why kill her, why?"

Qin Zhen pinched her shoulders, his tone cold and emotionless, "A fool like her will bring us trouble. It's the end of the world, and she's useless and will only waste food."

"Yan Yan, you have to consider our baby in your belly."

Qiao Yan looked at her boyfriend and shook her head, "Ah Zhen, I don't want to have children."

Seeing that her boyfriend was unmoved, she begged, "Can we wait until the apocalypse is over before we have children?"

Qin Zhen's eyes turned cold in an instant, his attitude was resolute, he stood up and slammed the door shut.

Qiao Yan sat on the ground, covering her face and crying.

In the following days, the number of poisonous mosquitoes became visibly greater. Every day, people were bitten by them and sent to the hospital, and some never came back.

Nine people in Building 16 where Shen Qianxun lived were bitten and died.

But compared with the tragic situation in the previous life, it is not much better. Recalling the previous life, the sky outside was full of poisonous mosquitoes and everyone was hiding at home. In this life, the survivors took the initiative to attack under the leadership of the country and stockpiled some food by the way.

At least in the short term, people won’t starve to death.

All the staff of Building 16 were mobilized under the leadership of Luo Baiwan. Three-quarters of the staff were sent to catch poisonous mosquitoes every day, and the others were responsible for collecting warm supplies. At Shen Qianxun's suggestion, people were arranged to move water from the water tower, dig soil, and repair broken glass.

Just yesterday, Officer Yan and Chen Dabao discovered a glass factory that was flooded. With everyone's concerted efforts, they salvaged a lot of intact glass.

Yan's father and Master Ji who lived in 1502 were responsible for making the glass windows. They installed them overnight and finally repaired the glass in all the rooms in the apartment building this morning. The uninhabited rooms were also sealed with iron plates and steel bars to prevent others from entering from the outside. The remaining large pieces of glass were placed in two empty rooms.

In addition, the flood waters have receded to the 7th floor, and according to a notice issued by the state, extreme cold will arrive around 2 a.m. tonight.

Because in the past few days, except for children under 3 years old and those who are bedridden, all the staff of Building 16 were mobilized and divided into groups to cooperate, so the points obtained were recorded together. After intense discussion, the elderly and children under 12 years old received 0.5 points, those aged 12-15 received 0.6 points, and the rest received 1 point. As escort security personnel, Shen Qianxun and others could get an extra point.

In addition, Luo Baiwan proposed that everyone supervise each other. Once lazy behavior is discovered and verified, corresponding points will be rewarded and the points will be deducted from the person being reported.

Since life-saving supplies were involved, disputes in the early stages were unavoidable, and were ultimately resolved thanks to Luo Baiwan's fierce voice. More detailed adjustments and improvements will have to be made later.

The Song Xueming family of Building 903 was completely impressed by Luo Baiwan's ability and brought half a bottle of white wine to apologize. The other residents all gave high praise to Luo Baiwan as the building manager and were extremely grateful that they lived in Building 16, which avoided the slaughter like in other apartment buildings.

At most, they would just exchange words, but no matter how intense the argument was the day before, they would still greet each other warmly the next day, work together, and become more and more tacit in their understanding, even cracking a joke from time to time.

Shen Qianxun looked at the atmosphere in the unit building, which was completely different from that in the previous life, and felt a lot.

In her previous life, she lived here before the earthquake. After the snake plague, there were more than a dozen apartment buildings around, and on average only a few people survived in each building.

In the afternoon, Building 16 took three assault boats out to exchange for insect rice, and it was still the same team as last time.

There were a lot of people exchanging insect rice today. Fortunately, there was enough insect rice. They waited in line for two and a half hours before it was their turn in Building 16, and all three assault boats were full.

Shortly after leaving the shopping mall, he was followed by two groups of people again.

Compared with the last time, Luo Baiwan's younger brothers were particularly excited. As long as the other party dared to rob, they would be responsible for killing them and that would be the end of the matter. If they were lucky, they could even bring back a lot of supplies.

If you can’t kill someone, just shout and the two sisters will help you solve the problem, giving you a sense of security.

However, after seeing the excited expressions on their faces and the machetes hidden nearby, the other party felt something was wrong and slipped away faster than anyone else.

Younger brother A said with regret, "Oh, what a missed opportunity."

Shen Qianxun glanced at the other person deeply, “Not every time it can go as smoothly as before, you will die if you are not careful.”

The younger brothers nodded quickly, "Sister Lu is right."

Soon after, we returned to Jinjiang Community. The three surrounding buildings were all moving supplies. Having learned from the experience of the last robbery, we brought enough manpower this time and successfully avoided losses.

The survivors had smiles on their faces. They had food at home and were not worried.

After the supplies were distributed, night fell.

After everyone in Building 16 finished their meal, they prepared warm supplies for the coming extreme cold, and left the door half open.

At 1:20 in the morning, the poisonous mosquitoes outside disappeared and the world suddenly became quiet.

Until Luo Baiwan wore a flashlight on his head and howled at the top of his lungs, so loud that it could be heard in the buildings next door, and the two younger brothers behind him took stainless steel basins and hit him hard.

Several apartment buildings around here lit up dim lights one after another.

"Everyone hurry up and get ready, put on your clothes, and boil some water, because the extreme cold is coming soon."

"Everyone on each floor should get up and walk around to make sure no one is asleep."

"Pay more attention to the mental state of the elderly and children at home."

"Dr. Tang and her two apprentices, Sister Lu and Sister Bao, are here to protect you at all times. For serious cases, they provide home consultation services. For minor issues, please go to 1604. Resources are limited, so please don't call for help if you don't have any."
