Chapter 22 Asking for Food
After finishing their meal, the two continued their "mopping up" journey.
They had to collect as much supplies as possible before the sun rose.
The thirteenth floor is the office of a home appliance company.
Although there is no warehouse, what is on display is rich enough.
Air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators and freezers, smart rice cookers, sweeping robots, dishwashers, etc.
These home appliances take up a lot of space, but fortunately her space was successfully upgraded today, so they can fit in a few spaces if she squeezes a little.
Shi Jiaojiao also picked out a few pieces, enough for herself and Mu Ci to use for the rest of their lives.
The pantry and workstations are still must-search places.
The two picked out some unopened items that they liked and put them away.
They have stored a lot of food, so there is no need to kill them all.
After quickly searching this floor, the two arrived at the twelfth floor.
This floor is a company that sells health products.
However, this is just an office, not a warehouse, so there are only some samples.
Fortunately, the quantity is not large, but there are many categories.
Various vitamins, those for calcium supplements, fatigue relief, brain health, blood lipid lowering, etc.
There are capsules, granules and oral liquids.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't let any of them go and put them all into the space.
These things will come in handy when supplies are scarce in the future.
Although I don’t know if it works, it’s definitely better to take it than not to take it.
Of course, in addition to health products, other resources should not be missed.
Leave some food with a long shelf life and take away those that are about to expire.
Anyway, she has the space, so it doesn't matter how long it stays.
After coming out of here, the two met an electronics company on the eleventh floor. The same old rules still prevailed, and they took away all the bottled water and express deliveries.
I also picked a few electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, tablets, game consoles, etc.
Shi Jiaojiao took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was already 3:30 in the morning. She discussed with Mu Ci and decided to search another floor.
The sun now comes out unusually early, almost high in the sky at around four o'clock.
The two men quickly cut open the tenth-floor door.
Looking at the company with various boxes piled on the floor, Shi Jiaojiao took a glance at the workstation and confirmed that this was a purchasing agency company.
This store has a more diverse range of supplies.
Various foreign snacks are piled up in boxes.
The big-brand bags were neatly placed on one side, and Shi Jiaojiao took away a few of her favorites.
I couldn’t afford to buy it before, and I may not need it in the future, but how can a girl live without a bag?
The two also found several boxes of goods in a corner. The outside of the boxes were all written in Japanese, which they couldn't understand, so they just opened them.
The packaging box is still in Japanese, but the huge 001 on it clearly shows what is inside.
Jiaojiao was so embarrassed now that she wanted to crawl into the ground.
Mu Ci didn’t see it when the condoms were collected before, but now, several boxes of condoms were neatly placed in front of him.
Suddenly I felt ashamed of doing something bad and being caught by my parents.
Mu Ci didn't seem to notice her embarrassment and said calmly, "Put them all away. You may need them later."
In addition to condoms, there were also several boxes containing underwear.
Looking at the brand, they are the kind that used to sell for 200 yuan each.
Although there is no women's version, Mu Ci can wear it.
What's left are all kinds of luxury accessories, which can't even be exchanged for a pound of rice in the future. Pick a few as souvenirs.
There were also various adult supplements, and Shi Jiaojiao picked one up and took a look.
It is quite convenient. It has prepared the nutrients needed for a day, including those for improving eyesight, protecting the liver, supplementing calcium, protecting the cardiovascular system, etc. You only need to eat a small packet a day.
There are also a lot of baby milk powder and various nutritional products placed in the corner.
Collect everything you can, and wait until you don’t need it.
After all this running around, Shi Jiaojiao was so tired that she was gasping for breath. She ate a few Snickers bars before she felt she had regained some strength.
At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was already light and the temperature rose rapidly, visibly to the naked eye, with the morning light.
The two decided to go home first and come back again tomorrow night.
After entering the residential area, Mu Ci turned off the car lights to avoid attracting other people's attention.
The two of them walked lightly and reached home safely.
As soon as they opened the door, they saw Xiao Hei rushing towards them.
Although Xiao Hei is still a little unsteady and walks unsteadily, it does not affect its cuteness at all.
Shi Jiaojiao picked up Xiao Hei, stroked him hard twice, and pinched his little paw pad.
Then, soften the kitten food with goat milk powder and put it in front of Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei immediately lay in front of the bowl, licked it quickly with his pink tongue, and wagged his tail.
Shi Jiaojiao swallowed unconsciously, she was hungry.
And I want to have a hot meal now.
The sushi I had before was tasteless.
Take out two servings of rice, spicy squid, stir-fried beef, and a plate of spicy and sour boneless chicken feet. Each dish exudes an enticing aroma.
Enjoying the air conditioning, taking a sip of iced cola and a bite of food, I feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
After eating and drinking, the two took a shower and fell asleep.
Shi Jiaojiao was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a faint knock on the door.
She opened her eyes and listened carefully. Someone was indeed knocking on the door, but it was the door in the corridor, so the sound was relatively quiet.
She changed her clothes and went to the living room, where she could still hear faint voices outside the door.
"It's the owner of the community knocking on the door. You should go back to sleep first." Mu Ci's voice was neither hurried nor slow.
Shi Jiaojiao refused directly, "No, I also want to see what they want to do."
After hearing the answer, Mu Ci didn't persuade her much. In the past, he always wanted Jiaojiao to live under his protection, but it was different now.
In this environment full of unknowns and dangers, they all need to adapt quickly in order to survive better.
The two men walked to the main door of the corridor. Probably because no one had opened the door for a long time, the knocking sound became louder and louder, and someone even kicked the door in anger.
At the same time, the voices outside became increasingly unpleasant.
"Why haven't you opened the door for so long?"
"Are you pretending not to hear? How selfish! It's not like we're not paying."
"Hurry up and open the door, the one inside. I just asked you to buy some food. We are all neighbors. If you don't help, how can you live here in the future?"
"That's right. We'll meet again in the future. We can't be so selfish."
Shi Jiaojiao understood that even though she and Mu Ci had been keeping a low profile during this period, they could not hide from the eyes of someone with ulterior motives.
Even if no one saw them unloading the supplies from the car, these people believed that they had transferred the supplies to the room in other ways.
Moreover, due to the high temperatures during this period, fewer and fewer people are driving. On the one hand, it is dangerous, and on the other hand, the fuel tank is basically empty.
Those who can drive out now mean that there is definitely no shortage of supplies at home.
But so what?
These supplies were retrieved with great difficulty. If you want to steal them, then see if they are tough enough!
