Chapter 604: The Abnormality of a Friend

"Zhao Ping'an also said that the apparent peace is most likely the calm before the storm. I also carefully screened it according to the 'natural disaster encyclopedia' statistics he compiled. He said the most likely ones are big hail and extreme cold temperatures."

"It's much easier if you prepare in advance."

Annan nodded with relief and prepared to visit Sister Pepe at her house later.

Long Cong'an continued to report to Gu Zhiyu: "After the extreme cold came, a large number of people died in the villa area. Some were frozen to death in their homes, and some went out to look for supplies and never came back."

Of course, those who didn’t come back might have died outside, or they might have gone to seek refuge with the authorities.

In short, there are fewer and fewer old residents in the villa area.

Amid one natural disaster after another, the wealthy areas that were once highly resilient have now become destitute "dead cities."

Long Cong'an took out a piece of paper and said, "During this period, several new residents have moved in. I have observed them for a while and have not noticed anything unusual."

The paper marked where these newcomers would live.

Gu Zhiyu took it, took a look and said nothing.

Annan had no objection. They were not the kings of the mountain, and not all the people in the villa area were theirs.

As long as the neighbors don't come over to cause trouble, it doesn't matter to them who lives there.

After the destruction of the gate, this villa area is basically no different from an open community. It is remote and quiet, so it is normal for people to want to move in.

However, in such cold weather, those who did not seek refuge with the government but came here to live in an empty big house must be well-off and very powerful.

The end of the world is a reshuffle. Some rich people have fallen to the point where they can’t even save their lives, while some ordinary people, on the contrary, are “moving up”.

Seeing that they were talking endlessly, Fugui, who was standing by, growled twice in annoyance and then shook his head in one direction.

Annan saw its movements and then realized that the dog was still wearing its mink coat.

The direction it pointed to was the bathroom, so it probably wanted to go to the toilet, but it was wrapped up so tightly that it was really not very convenient.

The dog stood aside, seemingly looking proud and waiting for its owner to help it take off its clothes, but it was actually very nervous.

In fact, it was just scared to the point of peeing on the plane.

In front of Long Cong'an, it didn't want to show its weakness - how embarrassing it would be to let others know that the dog king was scared to death? !

At this moment, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and interrupted them.

Annan wanted to get up and help him take off his clothes, but Gu Zhiyu grabbed him and said, "You take a rest, I'll do it."

Having said that, he got up and went to work.

Long Cong'an just watched from the side, not trying to grab anything. If he was just sweeping the floor to get something, he would definitely say "I'll do it". But he didn't dare to touch this big dog lightly.

Fugui is the benefactor's beloved treasure, and has a very arrogant temper.

So I just stood aside, holding back my smile and watching Mr. Gu working hard.

I sighed silently in my heart: As expected, no matter how capable a man is, when he returns home, he has to be his wife's vanguard.

Look at his cold-faced boss, how caring he is now! He even said, "You take a break, I'll do it." Tsk tsk, this was never their boss's line before.

He would just sit on the sofa with a goblet in his hand and tell others to do it.

Gu Zhiyu didn't notice his expression. While helping the dog take off his clothes, he asked without turning his head, "Anything else?"

Long Cong'an knew that what this meant was that he should just report quickly and go home after get off work if there was nothing else to do.

He was about to say "It's okay", but suddenly remembered something.

He just glanced at Annan beside him, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Without waiting for his answer, Gu Zhiyu turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Long Cong'an replied hesitantly, "There is indeed one more thing...some time ago someone came to Mid-Levels to look for you."

Gu Zhiyu had already helped Fugui take off his clothes. As he sat back on the sofa, he asked, "Who is it?"

Before Long Cong'an spoke, he glanced at Annan beside him.

Annan felt a little puzzled.

What do you always watch her do?

Why did this Dragon Assistant suddenly become so weird?

Gu Zhiyu also frowned and asked again: "Who?"

Long Cong'an shook his head: "He's not an important person, just..."

Before he could finish his words, the doorbell rang suddenly.

There was also a faint shouting outside the door: "Nannan! Are you back?!"

"Idol! Brother Gu! Is that you?!"

Annan stood up immediately. This is Chu Peipei and Zhao Pingan.

The two of them hurried over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, we saw Chu Peipei and Zhao Ping'an holding two iron railings each outside the courtyard gate not far away, looking inside with anticipation on their faces.

Aunt Hu was standing behind the two of them, also with an expectant look on her face.

When the three saw Annan and Gu Zhiyu appear, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Nannan! It's really you!!"

Annan looked at them holding the iron railing with eager expressions, and for a moment he felt like a detective.

Fortunately, both of them covered themselves tightly and wore gloves, otherwise, in such a cold day, the skin on their hands would have stuck to the iron gate.

She quickly opened the gate and said, "It's cold outside, come in and talk!"

The group entered the house in a mighty procession. Chu Peipei and Aunt Hu immediately grabbed An Nan and carefully examined him from head to toe:

"Great! He's safe and sound, not hurt at all!"

Zhao Ping'an also stared at Gu Zhiyu from head to toe and said, "I'm glad you're okay! I'm glad you're okay!"

God knows how worried they are.

It was so cold, they were wearing thermal suits and staying in the house, and they were freezing. But these two were running around outside, how cold must they be?

It is especially stressful when they haven't come back yet on the agreed return date.

No one knows if they met with an accident or were trapped somewhere by the extreme cold.

A few people had no idea where they were going and could do nothing but worry.

Seeing Annan finally return safely, Chu Peipei was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes:

"I just heard the sound of a helicopter and thought I was dreaming again! Luckily Aunt Hu and the others heard it too..."

"It's all Zhao Ping'an's fault. He was so slow in getting dressed. Otherwise we would have arrived earlier."

Zhao Pingan glared: "How dare you say that to me? It's obviously you who are a step behind, and you kept saying that you were dreaming again."

Chu Peipei glared back, not wanting to be outdone: "How long can I delay? It's still you..."

Zhao Pingan interrupted her with a hoarse voice: "What do you mean by 'I'? It's obviously the chicken you raised..."

Aunt Hu looked helpless: "Here we go again!"

Annan, who was standing aside, was a little confused as he saw them arguing with each other and being at odds with each other.

What's going on between these two people? Why are they so aggressive?
