Chapter 8 The Man Next Door
Back in the house, the three of them were in the living room, looking out the window with serious expressions.
"Yang Qing, how long do you think this rain will stop?" Li Shengnan asked.
"I don't know either." Yang Qing answered vaguely, "I just saw them in the group saying that the apocalypse was coming and we needed to stock up on supplies, so I just followed their lead..."
"It won't rain for long, will it? If it keeps raining like this, our houses will be destroyed and humanity will be extinct."
Li Shengnan nodded, "There must be a way. Humanity cannot become extinct."
"Do you think the higher-ups know about this? Could it be that someone has already built Noah's Ark, but we ordinary people don't know about it?" Wang Min said.
Lu Lin also looked at Yang Qing. She knew about the end of the world, so did she know these things too?
Yang Qing shook his head. In his previous life, there was indeed a Noah's Ark plan in the middle of the apocalypse, but it was only formulated later, and they probably didn't know about it now.
If it could be predicted earlier, we would have given some warnings and would not have faced such a catastrophic disaster.
"Let's take a rest first. There's no point in thinking so much. You'll know when you wake up tomorrow morning." Yang Qing said.
"How can I sleep like this?" Li Shengnan looked down with a serious face. There were no pedestrians on the street, but the corpses everywhere were still shocking.
"Let's go back to our room and rest first!" Yang Qing said to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin nodded, went back to the room with Yang Qing, and they both lay down on the bed.
Lu Lin put her hands behind her head and suddenly felt something hard under the pillow. She took it out and found it was a pair of jade pendants.
"What's this?"
Yang Qing took one look and smiled, "This was originally a birthday present for you, one for you and one for me. Since you're here, I'm giving it to you in advance."
Lu Lin sighed, "It's the end of the world, why celebrate my birthday? I'll leave it with you first, it's not safe for me to carry it with me!"
Yang Qing nodded and threw the things into the space. Suddenly, he felt the space vibrate.
What's going on?
Yang Qing flashed into the space and found that the area of the space had actually become larger.
The yard, which was already full of goods, now had several meters of space. Could it be because of those two pieces of jade?
Is it the spiritual energy of the jade that upgrades the space?
Yang Qing was overjoyed that the space could be upgraded, so he would bring back more treasures in the future.
She remembered that there was a jade and jewelry store on the front street. Should she go there later?
When Yang Qing returned to the room, Lu Lin looked at her with a stern look, "Next time, can you tell me when you enter the space? You disappeared and scared me."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "I just put the jade pendant into the space and found that the space has become larger. This means that the space can be upgraded. I will find a way to get more jade in the future."
"Really? I have more here." Lu Lin took out her valuables from her bag, including some gold jewelry and a jade ring. "All for you!"
Yang Qing threw the thing into the space, and it indeed became a little bigger.
"There is a jade shop up ahead. I'd like to find a chance to go and take a look." Yang Qing said.
"It's so dangerous now, it's better not to go." Lu Lin said quickly.
"I know my limits." Yang Qing nodded and walked into the living room. Li Shengnan and Wang Min were still sitting by the window looking outside.
"What's the matter? Can't sleep?" Wang Min looked at Yang Qing.
She nodded and looked out the window. The acid rain was still falling. She didn't know if the acid-proof and alkali-resistant work clothes she bought would be useful. It would be better not to take the risk. It was not worth risking her life for a little treasure.
Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door outside, and the security door was banged loudly.
Aqi, who was originally lying on the ground, stood up suddenly, looked towards the door vigilantly, and barked loudly.
The three of them looked at each other, and Yang Qing suddenly thought, could it be that the man next door has returned?
The man from her previous life never came back, and she never saw him again.
I didn’t expect that this life would change?
"What's going on?" Lu Lin also walked out of the room.
"Don't move, I'll go and take a look." Yang Qing waved at them.
Open the two doors and look down.
There was only one person and one dog standing outside the security door.
The dog had a round glass fish tank on its head and a silver-gray cloak made of unknown material draped over its body, wrapping itself tightly from head to toe.
At first glance, it looks like an alien creature.
It's both strange and funny.
The man was holding a helmet in his hand, and a cloak of the same material was hanging on his arm, which must have been taken off just after use.
The gloves on his hands had been corroded by acid rain, and spots of damage could be seen on the exposed skin.
He was also carrying a huge long bag on his back, which looked like it was holding golf clubs. It looked very heavy.
The man looked at Yang Qing indifferently and raised his eyebrows at her, as if asking "What's going on?"
Yang Qing hesitated for a moment, opened the door and walked down, "Something unexpected happened today, so I installed a security door without your consent. I'm sorry!"
"But you're not at home, and I can't find you even if I want to..."
The man didn't say anything, looked at Yang Qing coldly, and walked upstairs with the dog.
He walked to his door, took out his key and opened it.
Only then did Yang Qing pay attention to the man.
He was at least 1.85 meters tall, wearing a military green shirt, a black sports vest underneath, and black overalls, giving him a very tough look.
He has short jet-black hair, sharp eyebrows, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, slightly thin lips and a clear lip line.
He wore a black leather rope around his neck, with a bullet-shaped black ornament hanging from the rope.
As if he noticed that Yang Qing was looking at him, the man turned sideways and glanced at Yang Qing with a cold look in his eyes.
Yang Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Why was she staring at people like a pervert?
But I didn't expect this man to be so handsome.
"Your hand seems to be injured. I have some medicine. Do you want some..."
"No need!" the man said in a cold and hard voice.
Yang Qing was silent for a moment, then went back to his room to get the medicine and knocked on the door opposite.
The man opened the door, put one foot in front of it, and looked at Yang Qing warily.
"Here's the key to the security door. Also, here's a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution. It'll be effective on your hand. Apply a wet compress for five to ten minutes, then rinse with water for five minutes. This is the medicine..."
The man seemed a little surprised. He looked at Yang Qing and took the medicine. "Thank you!"
After saying that, he immediately closed the door.
Yang Qing raised her eyebrows. This man has quite a personality.
Back in the house, all three looked over, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing. The person next door came back with a dog. I installed a security door without his consent, so I sent him some medicine..." Yang Qing said.
The three of them were a little surprised, "There are people living across the street?"
"Yes, you haven't encountered it?" Yang Qing was also surprised.
Li Shengnan and Wang Min shook their heads.
Yang Qing thought about it and agreed. Li Shengnan was so busy, and Wang Min also went out early and came back late.
I work nearby and sometimes I only meet him when I come back at noon. Otherwise, I might not see him once a year.
I just didn’t expect that he also has a dog. Where does he usually keep the dog?
Oh, never mind, it has nothing to do with me.
