Chapter 22 Inquiry
It was already dawn when they arrived at Minghua Community. Ning Xinyue went up first, followed by Yan Yuansi. They pulled up three full bags of supplies.
After Li Yao pulled the speedboat up, he deflated it.
There was a total power outage and the elevator was no longer usable, so the three of them went up with their backpacks.
When passing the fourteenth floor, an old lady rushed out, grabbed Yan Yuansi and started crying to him.
Li Yao raised her eyebrows. The old lady was really considerate. She was holding a nail gun in her hand, Ning Xinyue was holding a dagger, and only Yan Yuansi had nothing in his hand.
The old lady came up and started howling: "We have no food at home now, can you give me some food?"
Li Yao has seen many people like this, but her expression doesn't change. Before, Ning Xinyue thought Li Yao was unkind, but now she just thinks Li Yao is so handsome.
Yan Yuansi couldn't stand the old lady's crying, so he took out two packets of instant noodles from his backpack. The old lady looked at Yan Yuansi's huge backpack greedily, wanting to ask for some more, but when she saw Li Yao's cold eyes, she dared not say anything.
"Go upstairs." Li Yao didn't want to see Yan Yuansi being a good person, so she took a step in front and rolled her eyes behind Yan Yuansi's back, trying to cause trouble for her again.
After they went upstairs, the old lady hid the instant noodles and put them together with the rice and noodles she had stored earlier. Judging from the quantity, the old lady could eat it all by herself for half a year.
She looked at the two packets of instant noodles and said, "What a kind person! He will definitely not bear to see me, an old lady, hungry in the future."
"Mom, did you just go out?" Sun Xiaoyun seemed to hear her mother-in-law's voice. She hadn't eaten for two days and was so hungry that she was hallucinating.
Wu Jiahui looked at Su Xiaoyun with disdain: "Just now I saw someone upstairs go out to look for supplies. The girl can go out, but you can't do anything at home. Why did my son marry a jinx like you?"
Sun Xiaoyun sneered: "I also want to find supplies. I haven't eaten for two days and I haven't left the community yet. I have to die outside."
After that, he went to the kitchen to find something to eat. As he was looking, he said, "If you want to find something to eat, go by yourself. I won't go."
She saw that her mother-in-law was in such good spirits, so she thought there must be some food at home, which the old woman must have hidden.
Wu Jiahui snorted coldly and went back to her room. She had saved all the food for her son, so her daughter-in-law, an outsider, had to find it herself if she wanted to eat.
Sun Xiaoyun walked around the kitchen and her face turned cold. The old woman hid really well.
When they reached the 35th floor, Li Yao closed the three doors.
The three of them took off their raincoats at the entrance and felt relieved, but their clothes were all wet.
Li Yao said, "I'm going to take a shower first, and we'll divide the supplies when I come back."
She went back to the bedroom to pause the live broadcast, leaving the live broadcast equipment in the living room, and took a nice bath.
When she came out again her face was slightly red.
Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue have come out.
The things in their backpacks were what they needed. Li Yao put all the supplies they left with her on the open space. She went to the kitchen and boiled three bowls of ginger soup for Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue to drink.
After working all night, she was hungry, and a bowl of steaming noodles would be best at this time. She took out a bowl of shrimp noodles from the space.
Yan Yuansi distributed the supplies happily. It was the first time he did such a thing and it was very novel. Thirty percent of the supplies were food, and there were also some daily anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs.
Li Yao felt her phone vibrate, and she took it out to see that the community property network was still up.
They were all discussing the fact that the people in Building 43 had a speedboat.
[I saw the people in Building 43 had a speedboat. They went out for a night, and when they came back, the backpacks of the three of them were all bulging.]
Li Yao narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect that someone had been squatting on them all night.
[Building 43 is too far from us, but I am willing to pay a high price. I wonder if they are willing to lend me the speedboat.]
Someone immediately asked in the owners’ group whether the user who had a speedboat in Building 43 was there.
Their building has more than 40 floors and the occupancy rate has reached 80%.
Now they saw someone in the property management group saying that their building had a speedboat, and their originally desperate mood was now filled with a bit of hope.
Immediately, someone rushed out of the house and asked from floor to floor if there was a speedboat.
Li Yao saw it all clearly in the group chat. Now they have asked up to the 20th floor, and they should be almost at their floor.
Half an hour later, they knocked on Li Yao's door. Li Yao asked Yan Yuansi to go to the door, and she stood behind the door with a nail gun.
Yan Yuansi felt bitter when he saw Li Yao's expression. This sister acted as if she would shoot him if he was not satisfied with her answer.
"who?"
Yan Yuansi spoke up, and when the people outside heard that the man was a man, their attitude became much better: "Excuse me, are you the one who went out to look for supplies last night?"
Li Yao shook her head at Yan Yuansi.
Yan Yuansi said: "No."
The person outside was disappointed, but he still asked, "Did you see who it was? If you know who it is, could you please provide some information?"
"I don't know." Yan Yuansi swallowed as he looked at Li Yao's nail gun.
Li Yao was very satisfied with his answer. This nail gun was not prepared for outsiders, but for Yan Yuansi.
If Yan Yuansi's answer did not satisfy her, the nail inside would pierce into his flesh without hesitation.
There cannot be any kind-hearted saints among her teammates. If he can't remember what she said, then let him suffer the consequences.
The people outside were silent for a while, then resigned themselves to their fate and climbed upstairs.
Li Yao listened to the noise and knew that things would not end like this. If they continued to look for supplies, they would be exposed later.
Let’s enjoy the few days of peace we can have now.
The two men knocked on all forty-five floors and returned home in despair.
[Everyone, we knocked on the doors of Building 43, and they all said they didn't have any speedboats.]
The residents of other buildings, who were originally jealous of them, suddenly sneered and some even joined in to watch the fun.
[It's obvious that someone is not telling the truth. ]
[We are all neighbors, so what's wrong with helping each other? The people in Building 43 don't have to be so stingy. ]
[That’s right, it’s already very difficult for everyone to be alive. Finding supplies and letting them survive is also saving lives. ]
[The guy who has the speedboat in Building 43, please come out. We have no food left at home. My wife and children can't take it anymore.] This is a voice message.
The man's voice was choked with sobs, as if he really couldn't survive anymore.
After hearing this, Li Yao snorted coldly, turned off her phone, and went to the kitchen to prepare her own food.
Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue were training and looked at each other, and they snorted coldly, which was really scary.
[My sister Yao is really handsome. ]
[I'm going to cook again. I like Sister Yao who cooks seriously. 】
[There is an old saying on Earth that if you want to catch a person, you must catch her stomach. Now my heart and my soul belong to this woman. 】
[I just like this woman's endless energy. ]
