No sooner had he finished speaking than the door opened without warning.
Cheng Zhi swept her broom across and knocked down the three people standing on the left. Xiao Feiran, holding a kitchen knife, took a big step and put the knife to Chen Cuixi's neck. The remaining two people, who were standing far away, were scared away.
Anyone would be terrified to have a knife to their neck. Chen Cuixi burst into tears, crying, "I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't kill me, waaaah..."
Cheng Zhi was extremely agitated. She took a broom and poked each of the three people lying on the ground. The wooden stick wouldn't kill them, but it was still very painful, and the people screamed in agony.
The chubby girl who had just been spouting nonsense was now curled up into a ball in pain and started crying out, "Stop hitting us! We just want some food!"
Wow, Cheng Zhi was extremely annoyed by these words. Just as she was about to add two more blows, Huang Yiyi delivered a flying kick that sent the fat girl flying to the opposite side, 835. "That's all?! Threatening and banging on the door, and you call this 'that'? Have you lost your mind because of the rain these past few days?"
"..." Why did you steal my line? Cheng Zhi was embarrassed for a moment, holding the stick, but she quickly covered it up.
“We already said last time that we are not your parents and have no obligation to raise you. We are all adults, please be self-reliant and don’t act like a mangy dog, saying you have nothing and then still trying to get back to us.”
After saying that, she gave everyone a look, signaling them to go back to the dormitory. The three of them left quickly. Zheng Wan, who had been standing behind the door, locked the door with a snap. Chen Siyu, who had been holding the stun gun, also lowered her arm and said in a trembling voice, "Oh my god, that was so sudden, it scared me to death."
Cheng Zhi was still at the door. Looking through the peephole, she saw that everyone had left, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. She also squatted on the ground, still somewhat frightened. Xiao Feiran, standing to the side, put down the knife, his hand trembling slightly uncontrollably. "I thought we were going to see blood today."
“Blood was bound to come sooner or later. This has already happened in our dorm. Other dorms might have been robbed, or there might have been fights and bloodshed.” Cheng Zhi stood up, put the broom down, and said righteously, “We can’t keep slacking off. We have to get some exercise today.”
They got right to it, and the five of them laid out their yoga mats and started exercising. They worked out for two whole hours without stopping. They were so tired that they didn't even want to cook, so they just had instant noodles for dinner.
After showering, everyone went about their own business. Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran got together to make slingshots, so they could hit people from a slightly longer distance.
Afraid of wasting fresh vegetables, Zheng Wan took out a large cabbage to study how to make spicy cabbage.
Chen Siyu firmly believes that the rabbit is pregnant and is learning how to take care of the baby rabbits.
Huang Yiyi's style was quite peculiar. She cut out an illustration of Hua Tuo from a book and pasted it on the wall. In front of her, she placed a row of QQ Star and Daliyuan mini breads. Then she took out a tablet, lit three electronic incense sticks, and put her hands together in a very devout manner.
Just then, Cheng Zhi finished making an experiment, picked up an eraser and flicked it at Huang Yiyi, and surprisingly, it actually hit her.
Master Xiao nodded in satisfaction and took the experimental sample to continue making improvements.
Huang Yiyi's prayers were interrupted. She clicked her tongue, picked up the eraser, and tossed it back to Cheng Zhi, who was still grinning. "What a solemn moment! Don't disturb my studies, okay..."
Cheng Zhi pointed to the things on the table, laughing heartily, "QQ Star worships Hua Tuo, which is quite an explosion in the entire Chinese medicine industry."
On the other side, Zheng Wan, who was sprinkling salt on the cabbage, was also laughing, "Hahahaha—wow, they even thoughtfully lit incense, but it's electronic. You know, it feels a bit like a combination of Chinese trend and cyberpunk."
Huang Yiyi gave a haughty snort, took out a QQ Star and started drinking it, "You guys don't understand at all. Sincerity is the key to success. The legendary doctor Hua Tuo will definitely help me become an excellent traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
Whether it was psychological or Hua Tuo's miracle work, Huang Yiyi studied very attentively all night, without any signs of pain or sighs, and seemed to be doing very well.
Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran finished making their slingshots, and then the two of them studied some other small items.
When everyone was getting ready to sleep at midnight, Cheng Zhi started to worry.
The threats she witnessed during the day awakened her sense of crisis. Recalling the apocalypse, she realized that most of the killings and looting occurred late at night when everyone was asleep and most vulnerable.
"Friends, after making such a commotion during the day and at night, the people around here should know that we have food. Shouldn't we start keeping watch at night?" Cheng Zhi stood up and asked for everyone's opinion.
No one thought for long, especially Xiao Feiran, who was usually very cautious. He almost immediately agreed, "Defend. The boys robbed the convenience store. We were also threatened today, which means we are really out of supplies. When people are pushed to the limit, they will do anything. Someone might launch a sneak attack at night."
According to the order, it should have been Zheng Wan and Huang Yiyi's turn to keep watch. However, Huang Yiyi was still very excited, so she volunteered to keep watch for the first half of the night.
Zheng Wan leaned over the bed, looking at Huang Yiyi with some concern, "Don't get too absorbed in it, or the bad guys will be at the door and you won't even notice."
Huang Yiyi nodded and gave an OK sign. "Don't worry, I won't watch it later. Go to sleep now."
Sure enough, that night, besides the sound of wind and rain, there were many other noises outside. Breaking glass, a girl's screams, and even a fierce male voice coming from the girls' dormitory.
That night, no one in room 806 slept well. Chen Siyu struggled to get out of bed, her eyes now showing obvious bruises. "Last night was too terrifying. There was a scream every now and then, and my heart was about to jump out of my chest."
Cheng Zhi, who was in the opposite bed, yawned repeatedly and rubbed her eyes frantically. "I heard it too. I also heard a boy come in. Wow, if you want to steal a man, you can steal a woman. How shameless."
Xiao Feiran has always had poor sleep quality, and with all the noise last night, she barely slept a wink. Seeing everyone else up, she started reinforcing the door while still in her nightgown.
"I barely slept last night. I dozed off for a bit and then dreamt that our door was kicked open. It was terrifying," Xiao Feiran said as she picked up her tools.
Still quite disoriented and speaking incoherently, Zheng Wan nodded repeatedly, "Last night, sitting here and hearing those noises, I felt the same way, afraid that someone would suddenly kick down our door."
Cheng Zhi sighed, and the man lay dejectedly on the bed, "Every day from now on will be like this."
Hearing this, everyone felt a little discouraged, but then Xiao Feiran's exclamation startled everyone.
Everyone quickly climbed out of bed and went to Xiao Feiran's side. Following her gaze, they saw many corpses floating on the road below, men and women silently letting the rain wash them away.
It's described as floating because the road has started to flood.
The typhoon will not stop for the next month and will get stronger. The second floor will be flooded. Right now, it is estimated that the water only reaches the ankles.
They had seen this scene before in their past lives, but seeing it again still left them feeling heavy-hearted. They looked at each other in silence, only holding each other's hands tightly, as if that would fill them with courage.
