"If you keep yelling and screaming, I'll stab you to death!"
Jiang Fei put the bucket into the supermarket warehouse, took out the dagger, approached 2102 carefully, and observed the situation inside through the half-open door.
Old Mrs. Xu sat on the ground in a mess.
The man in the floral shirt held a piece of broken glass against her neck.
The man in black clothes was putting supplies for Old Lady Xu into the bag.
They were the two people who wanted to exchange garbage for medicine a few days ago.
Zhuzi said that the reason why the people downstairs were so crazy about asking for medicine was because they were fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Jiang Fei replaced the short knife with a slingshot, aimed at the black clothes containing supplies, whoosh——
The steel ball hit the man in black clothes hard on his mouth.
"ah!"
"Keep your voice down! What if we attract others? We finally found some food, we absolutely can't share it!" The man in the flowered shirt whispered, but he noticed that the man in black clothes was covering his mouth, which was not right.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Something hit my mouth, it hurts..."
While the two people's attention was diverted, Jiang Fei rushed in and cut off the neck of the man in the flowered shirt with a knife.
Before the man in black could react, Jiang Fei stabbed him in the back with his backhand.
The action was so quick and clean that even Old Mrs. Xu didn't react.
Jiang Fei helped Mrs. Xu up: "Are you hurt?"
Old Mrs. Xu shook her head in shock and couldn't utter a word.
Noticing that Old Mrs. Xu couldn't stop shaking, Jiang Fei helped her sit on the sofa to let her relax for a while.
Then, they opened the window and threw both bodies downstairs.
The snakes circling in the water instantly wrapped around the corpse and dragged it underwater to eat.
Jiang Fei closed the window, and Old Mrs. Xu's mood gradually calmed down.
"Thank you, Jiang girl, for saving me again..."
"It's my fault for not being alert enough. I thought the person knocking on the door was Qian Yao coming back, so I opened the door without even asking."
Jiang Fei's eyes flickered slightly: "Did Captain Xu go out to rescue?"
I don’t know if he has met Director Ning.
"That should be it. Qianyao came back that day and stayed for a few hours before leaving. He has only been home once since then."
Old Mrs. Xu picked up an empty bag and handed it to Jiang Fei: "Girl, I don't know what you need. Take a look here to see if there is anything you need. Take it all away."
"Qian Yao sent me a lot of food and drinking water. Don't worry about filling it up. Don't be polite to grandma."
Jiang Feiwan declined Mrs. Xu's kindness: "I have enough supplies, there is nothing missing."
"The door at the stairwell is broken, but I have a spare electric door at home that can be installed. Although there is no electricity now, it is safe enough to prevent some thieves from coming in."
She had this idea after the dressing change incident.
Instead of relying on pillars for their 24-hour defense, it would be better to install an electric gate.
What's more, Ling Zhaorui also lives on the 21st floor.
Given his physical condition, he would be dead if he encountered a home robbery.
Old Mrs. Xu was so grateful that she didn't know what to say. She directly filled two bags with food for Jiang Fei: "If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me, an old woman."
Hearing this, Jiang Fei had no choice but to accept it. He asked Lu Yu to come down to help install the electric switch and gave him half of the supplies as a reward.
After giving the spare key to Old Lady Xu and Ling Zhaorui, Jiang Fei found a deserted place, took out an empty bucket and went downstairs to catch water snakes.
There were not many cockroaches and centipedes left in Building A. Jiang Fei did not waste his protective suit and only wore gloves.
Some people living in the corridor noticed Jiang Fei and followed him, hoping to find an opportunity to ask about changing the dressing.
As a result, I saw the girl grab a water snake with an expressionless face, smash it against the wall to death, and throw it into the bucket.
The tracker silently returned the same way.
It’s better not to ask, as he’s afraid that his head will be smashed too.
—
Half a month passed in a flash.
The water level receded to the 3rd floor.
Officials sent helicopters every three days to drop boxes of supplies to ensure the safety of the survivors.
Building A of Magnolia Court has welcomed the long-lost peace.
As for the 22nd floor.
Xiao Chuxia concentrated on making medicine from snakes, Ling Zhaorui was recuperating from his injuries, and Lu Yu stayed at home with Dahuang.
Jiang Fei, who had some free time, used this time to make a lot of cold dishes.
The spicy cold lotus root slices, black fungus, potato slices, enoki mushrooms, and hot and sour boneless chicken feet are all very delicious with rice.
Ding-ling-ling—the doorbell rang.
After installing the electric switch on the 21st floor, Lu Yu reinstalled the doorbell on the 22nd floor.
Jiang Fei went out to check.
Xu Qianyao was holding two things wrapped in brown paper and was still wearing protective clothing that he had not had time to change out of.
"Miss Jiang, I heard from grandma what happened a few days ago. Thank you for saving her. I brought some meat patties for you."
Noticing Lu Yu coming out of 2203, Xu Qianyao lowered his voice and said, "Actually, this is a new official food. It's very filling, has a long shelf life, and is very nutritious."
"It's hard to find supplies right now, so keep these for a rainy day."
Jiang Fei opened the brown paper and took a look.
They are round cakes the size of a palm, without any outer packaging.
It's like a beef patty in a hamburger, but the ingredients used are bugs and mice.
In her previous life, she was lucky and got a few pieces.
It is dry and has no seasoning, and sometimes you can even eat insect legs and mouse tails.
At first, no one knew about it, but later the authorities could no longer conceal it and told everyone the truth.
It seems that the supplies outside are indeed in short supply now, and the official brand meat patties have appeared in advance.
"Ms. Jiang, regarding the novel you mentioned last time, is it still with you?"
