Chapter 19 Discussing Going Out to Find Food
The community has two elevators and four households. There are nearly a hundred households below the eighth floor in the three buildings. Including those who have moved away and those who have not moved in, there are still about forty or fifty households.
It is not easy to arrange for forty or fifty households, and Manager Liu, who is already fat and bloated, is overwhelmed.
"Be quiet, old man."
The man in the flowered shirt swaggered in from outside and yelled.
Seeing him, Liu Xin shrank her body, and her boyfriend was even more ruthless, simply hiding behind Liu Xin.
When the man in the flowered shirt showed up, he immediately made everyone shut up.
"Finding something is more important, do you all want to starve to death?"
The man in the flowered shirt glared with his big fierce eyes, as if he would tear to pieces anyone who dared to speak.
Manager Liu acted as a peacemaker, "Don't be angry, everyone is too anxious, we can all solve it, let's talk about the food issue first."
"Yes, let's talk about food first. My family is almost out of food. If I don't go out to find something, someone will die."
A male owner in his early forties said.
I wanted to say something but then I remembered that I didn't have much food at home and I shut up quietly.
"Food is easy to find, but the key is how to get out?"
A female owner said with a sad face.
After she said this, no one spoke anymore.
Not only is there a heavy rainstorm outside, but there is also a huge flood. What if something happens by accident?
People from the other two buildings can come here because the buildings are close to each other and the water flow is not strong. If you find a place in your home that can float on water and be careful, you can get to the third building.
As for going outside and trying to find food with just some simple floating tools is simply a pipe dream.
"What are you going out for? I would ask those who have food to share the food at home."
A woman in her thirties stared at Gu Luan with a sarcastic expression full of jealousy.
Why is it that she has no place to live and is almost out of food, but she still has a rosy complexion and looks like she is eating well?
Everyone followed the woman's gaze and looked at Gu Luan, only then did they notice her behind the crowd.
Gu Luan smiled. She was so low-key, yet anyone still paid attention to her?
"That's right. It's so dangerous outside. We should ask those who have food to donate some so that we can all weather the disaster together."
The one who spoke this time was Liang Huaying, the old lady who was committing moral blackmail.
Judging from her performance both times, you can tell that she is an old person who likes to take advantage of others.
"This owner, look..."
Manager Liu was in a dilemma as he didn't want to offend either side.
Gu Luan's innocent and beautiful face showed a faint smile, but her eyes did not show any smile at all, "You... are dreaming!"
She also did not deny whether she had food.
In Gu Luan's mind, these people were just talking nonsense.
Even if all the people put together, they can't touch her.
After all, in addition to her own force, she also has a lot of hot weapons, which can be destroyed one by one.
She still didn't believe that these people could withstand hot weapons.
"you……"
The woman who spoke first glared at Gu Luan angrily.
"Little girl, you are really not conducive to our unity. Everyone has difficulties. What's wrong with helping us?"
Liang Huaying said with dissatisfaction and began to use moral blackmail again.
As long as this kind of person does not harm her interests, she can turn the world upside down.
Gu Luan raised an eyebrow and looked at the two people dancing happily, "Why don't you go to Auntie's house first, and then come to my house?"
Liang Huaying was flustered for a moment, and smiled awkwardly, "What are you talking about, girl? There are many people at home, how can there be anything to eat?"
She didn't dare let anyone go to her house, as she had stockpiled a lot of goods before the end of the world.
What if everyone goes, won’t the truth be revealed?
"No way, I just saw Auntie and her family moving a lot of things home a while ago."
Zhang Yan made a great assist and said with a smile.
Liang Huaying's face changed drastically, "No, that's right."
"You old fool, if you don't bring out the food at home, I will beat you to death."
The man in the flowered shirt grabbed Liang Huaying by the collar and raised his hand to threaten her.
The woman who had just blew the flame towards Gu Luan quickly stepped back, fearing that she would be implicated.
"Alright, alright, let's put aside our grudges and talk about finding food first."
Manager Liu tried to smooth things over again and smiled as he took the hand of the man in the flowered shirt.
The man in the flowered shirt snorted coldly and let go of Liang Huaying. Liang Huaying was so scared that her legs went weak.
"Our biggest problem now is how to get out?"
Manager Liu looked at everyone.
"I have a rubber boat, but it can only carry four people."
A middle-aged man raised his hand.
He is the owner of Building No. 2 next door. He likes fishing and bought an inflatable boat for it.
I didn’t expect to encounter this situation, and I’m glad I bought this rubber boat.
"I have one at home, too, which can carry five people. I bought one when the government notified me of heavy rain."
A young girl raised her hand, somewhat excited that she could help.
"I also have a rubber boat that can carry five or six people."
Zhang Yan, who was standing next to Gu Luan, spoke.
After the three of them spoke, Gu Luan thought for a moment and said, "I have a rubber boat that can carry ten people."
It’s not that she, a saint, wants to help these people, but these people will not disturb her if they can find food.
It was just an inflatable boat, and she had hundreds of them in her space, so she wouldn't feel bad about losing it.
"Great, the four rubber boats can carry more than 20 people."
Manager Liu rubbed his hands together, a little excited.
"Only more than 20 people can go out. There are so many households in our community, there is not enough space!"
Some people raised questions.
"Bah, you want to break up before you even leave the house? You might as well go eat shit."
The man in the flowered shirt spat forcefully. "Whoever goes out to find it will own it. Those who don't go out will die."
Some people agree, after all, people are selfish.
No one wants to let the person who asked them to leave give away what they had worked so hard to find.
Besides, no one knows how long this rainstorm will last, and the supplies will become less and less. Who dares to gamble with their life?
"I agree."
Zhang Yan was the first to agree, followed by others.
Li Lan, the woman who provoked Gu Luan at the beginning, was not very willing. She didn't want to go out, but wanted to take advantage.
Liang Huaying also wanted to object, but she kept her mouth shut because of the man in the flowered shirt.
There were a few men who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but when they saw that the majority agreed, they didn't dare to speak.
"We have agreed that only 25 people can go out, and all of them must be able to swim. Those who want to go out should sign up in the group first, and we will gather here at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
After discussing it, everyone had no objections and went their separate ways.
Li Lan and Liang Huaying were the first to run out, fearing that they would be troubled by the man in the flowered shirt, followed by the couple Liu Xin.
After everyone left, Gu Luan slowly walked towards her floor.
"You seemed to have something to say just now, why didn't you say it in the end?"
Zhang Yan walked behind Gu Luan and asked puzzledly.
Gu Luan stood at the door of her house and looked back at Zhang Yan, pointing outside, "You said the water has flooded to the eighth floor. Is it easy to find anything outside?"
She didn't say anything because she didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs and she didn't want to dampen people's hopes.
