Chapter 38: Knocking on the door at midnight



"Got it! Grandma Qiao! If they dare to mess with me again in the future, I will just pull out my gun!"

Su Keke made a shooting gesture with her hands, which made Grandma Qiao laugh out loud.

After being busy for most of the day, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao both felt a little tired. Su Keke didn't let Grandma Qiao cook in the evening. She planned to go to the space to find something ready-made to eat.

The staple food available in the space is fast food and noodles. Grandma Qiao eats pork chop noodles, and Su Keke eats pork liver noodles.

Tangyuan was given a big bowl of cat food and water, and the family of three sat in the living room, eating while watching Conan.

Every night, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao would cover the windows of their home tightly with several layers of sheets, so that even if they turned on the lights in the living room to watch TV, no light from outside could come in.

Now only Grandma Qiao's house on the 20th floor has electricity. Lu Mei's family's generator didn't have much diesel to begin with, so later Su Keke found a reason to send them a 20-liter barrel of diesel.

Just this afternoon, the barrel of diesel ran out. Now the refrigerators in both of their homes are basically empty.

After the typhoon and rainstorm, the weather is not so hot anymore. It is no problem not to use the air conditioner fan.

Rice, flour, grain, oil, biscuits, instant noodles, sausages, etc. do not need to be kept in the refrigerator.

No power! It doesn't seem that hard to accept. After all, most people have already run out of power.

Although their two families did not live as well as Su Keke and Grandma Qiao, they were many times better off than other people in the community.

They have a gas stove for cooking and they grow their own vegetables. They can go to 2004 to pick them when they want to eat. The ten chicks are growing fatter and fatter, and maybe they will lay eggs in two months.

The only troublesome thing is the water problem. Although they have stockpiled a lot of drinking water, they have no water for daily use.

You can get a few buckets of water from the vast ocean downstairs to flush the toilet, and it’s just a matter of climbing some stairs.

It was the bathing water that worried them.

For one person to take a bath, at least two large buckets of water are needed. The flood water downstairs is too dirty to be used, and the drinking water stored for drinking is not willing to be used for bathing.

Therefore, these days they have been using washbasins to collect drinking water and simply wiping their bodies as a shower.

Su Keke and Grandma Qiao could only watch and sigh. After all, the space could not be leaked.

At around 11 o'clock at night, two rubber boats suddenly drove over to Changhong Community.

After some inspection, the two rubber boats stopped on the third floor of Building 12, Area D.

Seven or eight people came out, each with a helmet flashlight on their head and a shiny machete in their hands.

"Brother Ming! I came here to ask this afternoon. The chick who shot you lives on the 20th floor."

A younger brother, who was also big and strong, walked beside Brother Ming with an electric saw on his shoulder and said.

"Damn it! Come on, everyone! I want everyone on the 20th floor to die tonight."

"Anyway, Brother Tian said that anyone who dares not take him seriously doesn't need to breathe any more. All the supplies inside will be taken away!"

The little leader Mingge, holding up his right hand that was wrapped like a steamed bun, walked up the stairs angrily.

Su Keke was actually not asleep yet at this time. Apart from practicing archery for a while these days, she spent all her time lying down at home.

Grandma Qiao’s cooking skills are so good that Su Keke feels that she has eaten so much these days that her figure is almost rounder than glutinous rice balls.

I haven't been able to go out and buy for free in a few days. Could it be that all the supplies outside have been cleared out?

People really shouldn't just lie around at home, because if you do, you'll find that lying down at home is actually pretty good.

"Crack! Crack!" The sound of metal friction came into Su Keke's ears.

"The security door!" Su Keke quickly put on her clothes and ran next door to knock on Grandma Qiao's door.

"What's wrong Coco?" Grandma Qiao came out in her pajamas to open the door.

"There's someone outside! I'll go out and take a look! You and Tangyuan stay home and don't come out!"

After Su Keke finished speaking, he went out with his bow and arrow.

The corridor was pitch black, and Su Keke heard someone talking outside the security door.

"Are you fucking crazy? What's the point of carrying a chainsaw here when there's no electricity?"

"With so many brothers, can't you find someone who can open the security door?"

Ming Ge was so angry that he slammed his hand on the security door, "Ouch!"

The pain in its palm made it look like it was grimacing.

Look at these two stupid teammates, they are actually holding the electric saw on the left and right and sawing the security door on the 20th floor.

If this fucking thing could be sawed in half, even the iron tree would bloom!

"Brother Ming, how about we set a fire at the door and use the smoke to smoke them out!" another subordinate came over and suggested.

"Set off a fire! We'll just stay here. Before the fire reaches inside, we'll burn ourselves to a crisp."

"Besides, they still have supplies inside. I heard from the residents downstairs that there are a lot of supplies on the 20th floor. If they are all burned, what will we take back to explain to Brother Tian?"

"You guys are such pig-heads!" Brother Ming was so angry that he almost jumped up. There were so many people and not even one person who could give advice!

"A bunch of crouching dragons and phoenixes!" Su Keke couldn't help but complain from inside the security door.

At this moment, she was already thinking about how to quickly get rid of those people at the door.

Using a gun is undoubtedly the fastest way. Su Keke entered the space and installed a silencer on the pistol she brought back from the United States.

When she came out of the space, Grandma Qiao was coming out of 2001 with a flashlight looking for her.

"Coco! Who is that outside?" Grandma Qiao asked in a low voice.

"They are the group of people who tried to rob our rubber boat during the day!" Su Keke said simply.

"These people came here in the middle of the night, I'm afraid they are going to kill people or burn things." Grandma Qiao suddenly became nervous.

"Don't be afraid, Grandma Qiao, I have a gun! If they dare to break in, I will kill them!"

Su Keke was not actually that strong in her previous life. At that time, it was basically Grandma Qiao who protected her.

"I have a kitchen knife! Your grandmother Qiao is not someone who is afraid of trouble!"

Looking at Grandma Qiao holding the kitchen knife carefully, Su Keke planned to go to the space to teach Grandma Qiao how to shoot when she had time.

Bows and arrows are not as reliable as pistols. In the end times, only guns can give Su Keke a sense of security.

"Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding ding!" There was a sound of metal knocking on the security door.

"The guys outside are losing their temper and are probably trying to break the door violently."

Su Keke glanced in the direction of the security door and said to Grandma Qiao.

"Aunt Qiao! Coco! Who is banging on the door!" Lu Mei and Chen Da heard the sound and ran out in their pajamas holding flashlights.

"Those people who tried to steal our rubber boat this afternoon!" Su Keke said.

"Ah! Then they came here in the middle of the night, could it be that they are here to take revenge on us?"

Lu Mei was so scared that she almost dropped the flashlight.

Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding! There was a little brother outside with an axe. When Ming Ge saw it, he was overjoyed. He directly asked someone to use the axe to violently break down the door.

Wake her up if you want! Doesn’t that chick have a gun? I have one too!

Brother Ming took out a small pistol from his trouser pocket with his left hand, and his face was full of joy.

He begged Brother Tian for an entire afternoon, playing the victim and describing Su Keke and his gang as extremely arrogant, before Brother Tian was willing to hand over his treasure to him.

"Hit it hard!" Brother Ming shouted.

Inside the security door, even Meng Yi and Shi Huan were awakened by the sound of banging on the door outside.

Chen Li was the only kid on the entire 20th floor who was still sleeping soundly in his room.

He was not affected by the noise outside at all. Su Keke really envied this guy for his good sleep quality!

But in the end times, this kind of sleep quality could cost people their lives.
