Chapter 105: An unusual character
"Wenna, what just happened was actually true?"
"Really, we really have water."
The two of them cried with joy, and Chen Hao asked Xu Wenna to drink some water.
Xu Wenna took the water, took a sip, screwed the cap tightly, and put it carefully in her backpack.
Lin Songhua and the other man saw it with their own eyes, but they still didn't believe what had just happened and stared at Xu Wenna's backpack.
"It's just a bottle of water, you guys didn't really believe her, did you?"
"Only a fool would believe that. For the sake of our brotherhood, I'll remind you again, be careful not to be fooled."
Shen Jin and the other two said sourly, looking towards the second floor from time to time.
Chen Hao and Xu Wenna ignored them and talked in low voices.
"She said to come here to work at 11:30 at night and asked us to find some people."
Chen Hao pondered for a moment and made up his mind, "I want to go back and ask everyone's opinions."
"Let's go back together."
Xu Wenna was worried about Chen Hao going back alone.
"You came with me. I was afraid that the two people above would be worried that we would run away with the water."
Chen Hao shook his head and stopped Xu Wenna from going back with him.
At this moment, a clear voice came from upstairs.
"Let's go back together. It's just a bottle of water. I'm not really afraid that you will run away."
Chen Hao and Xu Wenna were startled and looked up subconsciously, although they could not see anything.
They spoke so quietly, but both of them heard it?
The two men looked horrified, and it seemed as if they were not ordinary people.
Do these two people not care about a bottle of mineral water, or do they believe that they can find him easily?
"Thank you, we will come tonight."
Chen Hao raised his head and shouted upstairs.
Knowing that Gu Luan and Jiang Xian could hear him, Chen Hao took Xu Wenna away after making sure.
Chen Hao disappeared, and Lin Songhua's eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking of something.
The two of them lowered their footsteps and slowly walked towards the stairs.
A tall and straight figure blocked the stairs, and his cold gaze fell on them.
An invisible aura enveloped the two of them, making them dare not act recklessly.
"If you want to die, you can come up."
Jiang Xian looked down at the two of them.
Lin Songhua smiled stiffly, "Brother, we just want to ask, are you still short of people? My brother and I can also do the work."
Jiang Xian raised his lips and chuckled, his tone cold, "You are not worthy."
The faces of the two people instantly turned into a palette.
Although they were very angry, they did not dare to attack Jiang Xian.
Although I have never seen Jiang Xian take action, how could he be a simple person if he could be dressed so neatly in the apocalypse?
I'm afraid they have already died at the hands of these two before they even take action.
It is best not to act rashly.
"Then we won't bother you anymore."
Shen Jin knew there was no hope, so he looked at Lin Songhua and simply left.
Jiang Xian stood at the stairs, watched the two leave, then turned and went upstairs.
In the RV, Gu Luan's slender figure stood in front of the kitchen counter.
She held a fruit knife in her right hand and was cutting the big watermelon on the cutting board.
"Gone?"
Gu Luan cut the frozen watermelon, placed it on the dining table, took a bite, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Eating frozen watermelon in extreme heat is more enjoyable than eating elixir.
"Well, let's go."
Jiang Xian stood in front of her, picked up a piece of watermelon and put it to his mouth.
"Aluan, aren't you afraid that they won't come back?"
After eating the watermelon, Jiang Xian sat in front of Gu Luan.
Look at her taking out mung beans from the space, it seems like she is going to do something again.
Gu Luan was preparing to make mung bean soup. How could anyone not love the crunchy icy mung bean soup?
When Gu Luan heard Jiang Xian asking her, she smiled and didn't care at all.
"He ran away, so he ran away. It's just a bottle of mineral water. Just give it to him for the sake of his companions."
If Chen Hao and the others hadn't come back, she wouldn't have bothered them for a bottle of water.
It's normal for them to doubt her and treat her perfunctorily.
At most, she would think that the two of them just missed out on the benefits she gave them, which was no big deal.
At this time, Chen Hao and the other person mentioned by Gu Luan were about to return to where they lived.
The two of them ran back while avoiding the sunlight.
Even though they were sweating all over and their throats were dry, they were still reluctant to drink a sip of mineral water.
There was water nearby, but the high temperatures for several consecutive days caused the water level to drop significantly.
The remaining water is rationed every day.
Unless they can't help it, everyone will resist drinking water.
After all, this is an extremely hot weather and no one knows how long it will last.
The two found a place and rested for a while.
When it wasn't so hot anymore, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads and ran into an old neighborhood.
Hiding in the door of the community unit, Xu Wenna and Chen Hao could no longer bear it and sat on the ground gasping for breath.
The floor of the community corridor was a little hot.
The two of them didn't care about anything else, took out the mineral water and each took a small sip.
There were faint voices coming from downstairs.
After a while, more than a dozen men and women came over.
Most of these people are around thirty years old, and the youngest is eighteen years old.
"Chen Hao, why are there only two of you? Where are Song Hua and Xiao Rong?"
A man in his thirties stepped forward and asked quickly.
Chen Hao did not hide it. After catching his breath, he wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Xiao Rong is dead, and Lin Songhua and Shen Jin are separated from us."
When the others heard what Chen Hao said, no one spoke for a while.
"How could Xiaorong die?"
A girl covered her mouth and cried loudly.
Xu Wenna wanted to cry when she thought of Xiaorong.
Too many people died in the apocalypse, they should have gotten used to it.
Seeing their companions die one after another was still too much for them to bear.
Because they are afraid that they will be the next person to die.
"Xiao Rong suffered from heat stroke and soon lost consciousness."
Xu Wenna spoke with difficulty, her throat so hoarse from lack of water that she could hardly speak.
When they heard the word heat stroke, everyone fell silent.
Because Xiaorong is not the first person to die from heat stroke.
"Let's go back to the basement first. It's too hot here."
Some people couldn't stand the heat, so everyone went to the basement on the first floor below ground.
When the extreme heat arrives, it becomes unbearable to live upstairs.
The rest of the people chose to move to the basement floor of the community.
Although the underground floor is cooler than the upstairs, it is still hot and stuffy.
There are more than a hundred people living on the entire underground floor, young and old, all crowded together.
The ground was littered with quilts, pots and bowls; it looked like a refugee camp.
Most people leaned against the wall, fanning themselves with various objects in their hands in an attempt to cool themselves down.
Few people talk because it consumes energy.
When their energy is exhausted, they will want to drink water and eat food.
What they lack most is food and water.
Seeing Chen Hao and the other man coming back, several old men surrounded them.
"Haozi, have you found food and water?"
"Xiaohao, how is it outside?"
Chen Hao shook his head heavily.
The faces of several elderly people became gloomy, filled with despair and sadness.
"Although we didn't find any food or water, we brought back good news."
Seeing everyone's disappointed look, Chen Hao quickly spoke.
"What good news?"
Upon hearing the good news, a large group of people gathered around, including Chen Hao's parents.
