Chapter 27 Hungry Neighbors
Sun Peng from 1302 organized a meeting for the people in the building to discuss ways to survive.
Except for An Nan on the 14th floor and Zhao Ping'an and his mother on the 15th floor, everyone was there. The hungry people gathered together, each one looking paler and thinner than the other.
"If we don't eat today, we're really going to starve to death."
"Where is the treasure? All the office buildings on the water have been searched out."
"All my belts have been eaten up."
Sun Peng first watched the discussion silently, and when the crowd quieted down, he whispered, "Have you noticed that the people on the 15th and 14th floors have hardly ever gone out to look for food?"
The crowd fell silent for a moment.
Yes!
Annan on the 14th floor came out once. Her skin was smooth, her complexion was rosy, and even her hair was shiny. It was obvious that she was well-nourished.
The mother and son on the 15th floor never went out even once.
"They must have a lot of food stored at home! So much that they don't have to go out to look for it!"
"They are really too much. We are starving to death, and they still have a lot of food in their house?"
"We should go find them and share the supplies. We are all neighbors, how can you be so selfish as to share the food for yourself?"
"But the woman on the 14th floor is a psychopathic murderer..."
When Annan was mentioned, the crowd fell silent for a moment.
Everyone thought of the bloody stairwell and the Liu brothers who died with their eyes open.
The psychological shadow is too big.
"Why don't we go to the 15th floor first..."
Of course, you should pick the soft persimmons.
"You're right, let's go to the 15th floor. He hasn't been out for a long time, maybe he has enough food in stock to keep us all fed for a long time."
Everyone seemed to see the hope of survival, and immediately rushed to the top floor with great momentum.
He had obviously been hungry for a long time and was barely able to speak, but now he was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"Go to the 15th floor to distribute food!"
"No need to be hungry!"
Annan could hear their shouting in the corridor from his room.
She frowned slightly: It seems that these people are starving.
But since they weren't coming for her, she didn't want to meddle in other people's business. If anyone dared to come to her house, she would let them know how powerful she was.
In the previous life, this group of people also went to the 15th floor to beg for food, but Annan did not participate and took Bai Wenbin and his sister to look for things outside.
First, she had a conscience at that time and did not want to bully her former neighbor.
Second, she felt that there were too many wolves and too little meat. How could one family's stuff be shared by so many people? She might as well go out and try her luck again.
By the time she, Bai Wenbin and Qian Ying'er came back with a few bags of noodles, the corridor had returned to silence.
Although no one knows what happened, the mother and son on the 15th floor did not leave the house until the late stage of the extreme heat and left in good health.
Obviously the neighbors failed.
When Annan fell into his memories, everyone had already reached the 15th floor.
The stainless steel door of the stairwell was closed as expected. A few strong young men rushed forward and pried it open with crowbars in a few strokes.
Sun Peng was the first to walk to the door of 1501 and knocked politely:
"Hello, we are neighbors downstairs."
There was no sound inside.
He continued knocking: "Is Zhao Ping'an at home? I'm the head of our unit and I want to talk to you."
A gentle male voice came from the room: "Sorry, it's not convenient to open the door. Just tell me what you want to say."
Sun Peng turned around and glanced at the crowd behind him.
Each had hay-like hair, sunken cheeks, and eyes that gleamed with longing.
He cleared his throat and said, "This is what happened. My neighbors are out of food, so I want to borrow some from you."
Zhao Pingan in the house: "I'm sorry, I can't help you. I don't have much food at home."
As a fan of the end of the world, Zhao Ping'an is well aware of the rules of survival in the end times: the Virgin Mary will not have a good end.
So he had no intention of sharing his food.
After hearing this reply, someone in the crowd behind him shouted, "You are lying! You and your son have never been out of the house. You must have a lot of food at home!"
"Yes, why are you hiding the food? Take it out and share it with everyone!"
"You two are so vicious! You want to watch us all starve to death!"
The crowd became more and more excited as they talked, and many people were so excited that they rushed to the front and banged on the door.
Upon seeing this, Sun Peng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he retreated to the back, allowing the excited crowd to rush to the front.
At this moment, a powerful roar suddenly came from the room:
"Fuck you! Don't come to my door to beg for food! Am I your ancestor? Should I care about your hunger? Do you want me to fry shit and feed you?"
"Well, mother, please pay attention to your manners."
"My father, you idiot, the dogs are right at your door, and you don't do anything to them!"
The people outside heard the cursing and became even more agitated. The first few people knocked on the door and pried the lock with something.
Suddenly, they felt a strong electric current passing from their hands throughout their bodies.
"The door is wired!"
The first few people were shocked and convulsed.
The people behind them tried to pull them away in a hurry, but they were also electrified and started to dance the thunder dance as well.
Seeing this, Bai Wenbin quickly used the wooden mop in his hand to push the person away and then stopped.
Several people who were electrocuted passed out.
The rest of the people didn't dare to move forward for a while.
At this time, two middle-aged men stood up and said, "Our hammer handles are insulated! Let's just hammer his door lock!"
Having said that, he immediately stepped forward and started smashing things around with a clanging sound.
Inside the house: "Oh my gosh! If I, Hu Cuilan, don't show my power, you idiots will not know what to do with me!"
"Son! Give me the things!"
Then, a hole suddenly appeared in the door.
"What is this?" The man who was hammering the door quickly noticed the hole that suddenly appeared.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the hole and pierced his arm.
"ah!"
The man cried out in pain, and the hammer in his hand fell on his feet.
“Ahhhh!”
He screamed even more miserably, and fell to the ground, holding his feet and wailing, with an arrow stuck in his arm.
Everyone was startled, but before they could react, there was another sound of arrows breaking through the air, and arrows were shot out quickly, hitting the people standing in the front one after another.
Some were shot in the shoulders, some in the thighs, and the worst one was pierced directly in the chest.
"Run! He has a crossbow!"
Being shot by a crossbow is dangerous at any time, let alone at this time when there are no life-saving hospitals or medicines.
The crowd soon became chaotic and ran downstairs.
Sun Peng, who was hiding at the back, was the first to react. He took a few steps to the blind spot next to the gate and looked at the door of 1501 with a gloomy look.
"Everyone, don't panic. Stand on both sides of the door so the crossbows can't reach you!"
