"Alright, let's eat."
After busying herself in the kitchen for more than half an hour, Xu Qing finally finished preparing dinner for herself and Shen Shuisi. The two sat down at the table to enjoy the meal, but while eating, she impulsively opened her phone and saw the photos that Xiao Chen had sent.
Suddenly, Chen Shuisi felt that the stir-fried chicken in his mouth didn't taste good anymore.
"Just how much money does Xiao Chen have left? This A5 Wagyu beef probably isn't cheap."
Chen Shuisi, who frequents high-end establishments, immediately recognized that this Wagyu beef was expensive; such a large piece probably cost over a thousand yuan.
"Hmph, what's so great about them? They're probably just living off their past achievements."
Although Xu Qing also really wanted to eat it, she pretended to be nonchalant and said it as if she was really just living off her past achievements.
"That's right. Xiao Chen has been fired now, and he probably spent a lot of money on renovations recently. He's probably heavily in debt now."
Chen Shuisi also agreed, thankfully she hadn't accepted Xiao Chen's advances, otherwise she probably would have been targeted by Tang Xiaohu and lived a difficult life.
In room 2201, it was time for Zhao Xiaohua's family to have dinner. While eating, Tang Jian was playing with Zhao Xiaohua's phone when he was attracted by a pop-up WeChat message.
Out of curiosity, Tang Jian opened WeChat and, after seeing the delicious and tempting Wagyu beef, glanced at the pork on his plate and burst into tears.
"What's wrong, baby?"
Zhao Xiaohua quickly hugged Tang Jian and asked.
"I want to eat something delicious too. I don't want to eat pork."
Tang Jian showed the screen on his phone to Zhao Xiaohua. Seeing that Xiao Chen was actually in the mood to eat such delicious food, Zhao Xiaohua and Tang Xiaohu's expressions immediately turned ugly.
"This little bastard has quite a bit of savings, yet he still has the mood to eat such good food."
Zhao Xiaohua said angrily, "You know, that's A5 Wagyu beef. Even our family rarely eats it." Tang Xiaohu had stopped talking. If she wasn't mistaken, Tang Xiaohu was already thinking about how to kill Xiao Chen.
Zhao Xiaohua comforted Tang Jian for a while before he stopped crying, but the price was that she would take him out for a big meal after the rain stopped.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this Wagyu beef is so delicious."
Sitting at home, Xiao Chen enjoyed the meal he had painstakingly prepared over half an hour at his 30,000 yuan dining table. He felt a sense of accomplishment; he was truly himself, and everything he made tasted delicious.
However, Xiao Chen knew that they were not yet at their end. There was still a lot of food at home. He would wait until they started to starve before filming his own situation, which would be even more devastating.
As the night passed, the heavy rain still did not stop, and the floodwaters had already reached a height of one meter above the first floor.
Many people witnessed this scene, but they still firmly believed what was said above. After all, the apocalypse was a virtual existence in their minds, so how could there really be an apocalypse?
The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping by the next day, and at that point, some of them finally started to panic.
"No, I need to go shopping, otherwise there won't be any food at home."
The resident living on the second floor looked at the empty refrigerator in their home and began to panic. Only when they reached the elevator did they realize that it had been stopped.
So, having no other choice, he went to the stairwell and tried to climb down the stairs, but after opening the stairwell door, his face immediately turned to disbelief.
"How is this possible? How could the water be so high!"
In his eyes, the first floor was completely flooded, and judging from the current trend, it would probably flood the second floor soon.
Without hesitation, he took a picture of himself and posted it to the homeowners' group chat. Only after doing all this did he turn around and return home.
"Why are you back so soon?"
His wife asked curiously, but after seeing that her husband's hands were empty, her mood turned somewhat sour.
"There's no time to explain, we have to get out of here quickly."
Before the man could explain, he showed his wife the photos he had taken, and she immediately became flustered.
After they went out, they quickly told their neighbors who were also on the second floor.
"What! The floodwaters have reached the second floor?"
Soon, the four homeowners looked at the completely flooded first floor and their faces immediately turned grim. How could they possibly go grocery shopping under these circumstances?
"No, we need to contact the property management and ask them to arrange a new place for us, otherwise the flood will reach the second floor sooner or later."
The first homeowner to discover the flooding was named Lin Zhicheng. Led by him, the other homeowners called the property management company. After receiving permission, they quickly took their belongings and went to the upper floors. The five buildings have a total of twenty-five floors, and the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth floors have not yet been sold.
They quickly climbed to the 25th floor, panting, and settled in. However, they wouldn't last long without food, so they asked the property management to bring them some.
This was their last chance to get food, as the property management had some tricks up their sleeves and quickly delivered several thousand yuan worth of supplies to them in a kayak.
However, the residents on the third floor and above didn't seem to care about this, because the property management company had sold the property to them for a much higher price, and they firmly believed that the heavy rain would stop soon, and they might be able to buy things at a cheaper price then.
After handing the food to Lin Zhicheng and the others, the property management staff drove away in their kayak, marking their last appearance there.
"Alas, natural disasters are merciless."
Xiao Chen sighed as he stood on the twenty-third floor, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone for some reason. After finishing breakfast, Xiao Chen began his cultivation.
He could sense that in another day or two, he would be able to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and his strength at that time would be at least ten times stronger than it is now.
On the other side, Xu Qing was about to cook when she was stopped by Chen Shuisi.
"Qingqing, let's make a smaller meal this time. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that this heavy rain won't stop anytime soon."
Seeing the current situation, Chen Shuisi felt a sense of unease for some reason.
"Make it a little less? I understand."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing thought it made sense. It seemed that the government hadn't given any definite answer yet, so they should be careful. What if they ran out? The situation outside was very complicated, and they weren't sure they could swim into the supermarket.
