Chapter 17 Room Arrangement.
When Gu Qi went downstairs to call Ji Xian and the other two, He Guang and his group had already been taken by Zhang Chen and the other residents downstairs.
It was placed in the corner of the stairwell on the fourteenth floor.
As they went upstairs, Wen An, looking frightened, nestled in Ji Xian's arms upon seeing He Guang and the others piled up in the corner.
Once the four of them had climbed to the sixteenth floor, Zhang Chen was fawning over them, cleaning the stairwell and stairs on the sixteenth floor.
After the four entered, the sixteenth floor had been washed clean.
Fearing retaliation, Zhang Chen and the other residents conspired to go all out and threw He Guang and his companions off the building.
Before throwing it into the flood, Zhang's father spotted the yacht downstairs: "I reckon it belongs to those bastards on the sixteenth floor. Let's throw it to the other side."
Zhang Chen told the women in his family to go home first. Once they left, he moved He Guang and the others to the window on the other side of the yacht.
Before throwing the plum tree away, Zhang Chen viciously took the kitchen knife and stabbed the plum tree several more times.
As Chi Yanzhou and his companions were descending the stairs, they suddenly heard a "plop" sound as something heavy fell into the water.
He Zhuo leaned closer to the window and looked down; Zhang Chen and the others' hands were still hanging in mid-air, not yet withdrawn.
He Zhuo muttered, "Good heavens, they're all ruthless people."
Ji Xian, Wen An, and Gu Wan looked completely bewildered: "?"
Gu Qi: "I guess those people that Nan Nan and A Ye dealt with were thrown downstairs."
Wen An's face showed reluctance. She clung tightly to Ji Xian's arm and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Xian, how could they do this? This is murder! They are so cruel!"
He Zhuo's lips twitched, his inner monologue a jumble of thoughts: [Damn, isn't this woman disgusting? I'm getting goosebumps! Stop talking nonsense, you can't comment on your brother's woman!]
Gu Qi glanced at Ji Xian, then reached out and pulled Gu Wan to his side.
Chi Yanzhou didn't even look up, but just rubbed the master key in his hand.
With a 'beep', the door on the fifteenth floor opened.
He Zhuo looked at the master key in Chi Yanzhou's hand and his eyes lit up: "I'm so envious of Brother Ci."
He turned to look at Gu Qi and the others and asked, "Do you think I'm a good fit to be Ci Ge's brother-in-law?"
Gu Qi: "There are no mirrors in this room, but surely there must be urine in there?"
He Zhuo: "Damn it, you surnamed Gu, I'm supposed to be the most beautiful girl in Beijing, okay!"

When Lu Xici came downstairs with cleaning tools, Chi Yanzhou and the others were dividing up the rooms.
The door wasn't locked, so Lu Xici pushed it open and asked, "How is it? Is there enough room?"
He Zhuo waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry, we brothers can manage."
Yan-ge can't share a bed with us, so he'll have to have a room, and Gu Qi and I will have to squeeze in.
Gu Wan's younger sister has her own room, while Ji Xian and Miss Wen share a room.
Wen An clung to Ji Xian's arm and said in a strained tone, "Brother Xian, there's no bed. We can't possibly sleep on the floor, can we?"
Lu Xici: "Nan Nan pulled out four air mattresses and an electric air pump. Can you help me carry them down?"
He Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he excitedly opened his arms and ran towards Lu Xici: "Brother Ci, Sister Nan Nan, I love you guys to death!"
Lu Xici stepped to the right, avoiding He Zhuo: "There's no need for that."
After saying that, ignoring He Zhuo's adoring expression, she looked at Chi Yanzhou leaning against the window.
"Ayan, would you like to live upstairs with me?"
Chi Yanzhou leaned against the window, a stub of an unlit cigarette between his teeth, his eyebrows slightly lowered: "Is this appropriate, Brother Ci?"
Everyone...it's Brother Ci again?
Lu Xici got goosebumps and remembered getting Chi Yanzhou on the wrong side of the gang. She pretended to cover her mouth and coughed twice: "Aye and I will share a room, Nannan will share a room, and you can share a room. There's enough room for Aqi and the others downstairs."
Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly, stood up, and walked unhurriedly towards the door.
He Zhuo quietly retreated to Gu Qi's side, turned his head, and muttered softly, "Why do I feel like Yan-ge is acting a little strange today?"
Gu Qi stared at Chi Yanzhou's back: "What's wrong? That's... it's spreading its tail feathers!"
He Zhu scoffed, "No way?"
Gu Qi: "Years ago, we watched dramas together and discussed the girls we liked. Think about it again..."
He Zhuo glanced at Chi Yanzhou's back, then at Gu Qi, and his mind suddenly cleared.
He...he seemed to have discovered something incredible: "Holy crap, Nan Nan, her entire body seems to resemble his..."
Gu Qi glanced at him: "Someone might be losing their humanity!"

Ever since Lu Beiye moved into the sixteenth floor, he had wanted to switch rooms with Lu Nange. He felt that his sister was a princess and should have the best things even in the apocalypse.
It's all because he's too young, otherwise...
Despite several attempts to persuade and plead, I was still unable to get a replacement.
Who would have thought that the room would be rearranged on the very first day Lu Xici returned?
On the fifteenth floor, Gu Qi, Gu Wan, and He Zhuo each have a room, while Ji Xian and Wen An share a room.
On the sixteenth floor, the supplies that Lu Nange had placed in the piano room as a decoy were moved to the living room.
She took out a two-meter-long bed from the system's inventory, turning the original piano room into a room for Lu Xici and Lu Beiye.
Chi Yanzhou moved into the small secondary bedroom that Lu Nange had originally lived in.
The decision to have Chi Yanzhou move in with them was made after careful consideration by Lu Xici, Lu Nange, and their younger brother.
Lu Xici said that she came back this time to take the siblings away.
With their parents gone, he was the eldest brother, so naturally, wherever he was, his younger sister and brother would be there too.
He can't stay in his hometown for the time being. Once the floodwaters recede, his studies and company are both in Beijing, so he'll have to ask his younger sister and brother to come and live with him.
That means that on the way back to Beijing, the three siblings would definitely be eating and living with Chi Yanzhou and his group. Having spent the past four years together, Lu Xici naturally knew what kind of person Chi Yanzhou was.
Even if he doesn't say anything now, Chi Yanzhou and Gu Qi will eventually discover the clues through subtle details.
It would be better to just be honest with Chi Yanzhou about this.
Chi Yanzhou could also help cover it up.
Lu Nange raised both hands in agreement. After the rain stops, she will have more and more superpowers. She doesn't know yet if she will awaken other superpowers.
There is a spatial ability that allows them to store supplies for everyone.
Let's try to survive for now and get a feel for the realities of post-apocalyptic survival.
Let's see if I can awaken a combat-type superpower.
In this world, one needs absolute strength to fight alone, and Lu Nange believes that she does not have that strength for the time being.
Forming a group is important, but choosing the right team is even more important.
The male lead's team, where his own older brother works, is definitely the first choice.
The male protagonist group is strong, but they still need to grow in the early stages.
Chi Yanzhou is the male lead in the original novel, so the team should be able to survive until the finale.
In the end, they'll all go to the male protagonist's base in Beijing to await the arrival of the new era.
Forget being so fussy, you might as well have joined from the start!
Besides, Lu Nange was with Lu Beiye on the very first day she arrived here.
At first, she really only wanted to wait until Lu Xici took Lu Beiye away so that she could retire gracefully.
Now, however, she is somewhat reluctant to part with Lu Beiye.
