Chapter 21: Difficulties in Finding Supplies
Gu Luan was carrying a backpack and holding a rubber boat in his hand.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Tan Tao standing there in a nonchalant manner.
"Sister, are you going out? I'll get your stuff!"
Tan Tao took the rubber boat from Gu Luan without saying a word, acting a little like a lackey.
Gu Luan didn't quite understand the structure of Tan Tao's brain. How could such a ferocious-looking man do such a thing?
Tan Tao went downstairs with the rubber boat, smiling. Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost when they saw him.
Seeing that the corridor on the 11th floor was full of people, Tan Tao looked sad and asked, "Why are you blocking us here?"
The crowd swarmed out of the way, and Tan Tao threw the rubber boat in his hand to someone at random, "Go and get the gas."
The people he ordered didn't dare to say anything and went downstairs with the rubber boat.
"Sister, it's windy over there, come over here quickly."
Tan Tao came up to Gu Luan and spoke attentively.
The twenty or so people present had their eyes wide open, looking even more terrified than when they had just seen a ghost.
Manager Liu, who had a big belly, was stunned and looked at Gu Luan, as if thinking about something.
Gu Luan rolled her eyes at Tan Tao and said calmly, "No need, I'll be fine here."
She is not used to being around people and is fine being alone.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is."
Tan Tao said with a smile, standing beside Gu Luan.
No one understood why a man like Tan Tao would be so enthusiastic towards a young girl. After all, they didn't seem to know each other well yesterday.
Naturally, Tan Tao would not explain anything to others.
He didn't like studying since he was a child, and started to hang out in society when he grew up. He doesn't have much knowledge, but he is very good at judging people.
At first he really didn't pay much attention to Gu Luan until he heard what she said.
In such a difficult situation.
A girl can remain calm and analyze problems that others are not aware of at the first moment.
Isn't that considered capable?
He knew Zhang Yan a little bit, and since he was always following Gu Luan, he had to get close to him.
The more difficult the times are, the more you can survive by following capable people.
All he relies on is his brutality.
People with ability rely on their brains. Once you provoke such people, you will die without knowing how.
The most important point is that he always felt that Gu Luan was more than just a person with brains.
Zhang Yan walked over with his rubber boat.
After a while, the fisherman from Building 2 and the last girl with a rubber boat came over.
Twenty-five people in total.
Including Manager Liu, the only women were Gu Luan, the girl in the rubber boat, and Li Lan who was so shameless that she almost caused a scene.
The rest are men who can swim.
They were the first group of people to go out. In addition to looking for things, they also had to check the situation outside.
As for what will happen to the next batch, they don’t need to worry about it. People who are short of food will go out one after another anyway.
If you want to borrow a rubber boat to go out and find food, you must pay 10% of the food to the person who owns the rubber boat.
Twenty-five people stood together on the eighth floor, looking at the heavy rain outside, with worry on their faces.
"Will anything be alright?"
The girl in the rubber boat was a little scared. She still had some food at home, but she still chose to go with them today.
“There’s definitely some danger.”
Gu Luan said softly, his eyes still fixed outside.
It was a foggy day, the buildings were almost invisible due to the heavy rain, and the water was flowing rapidly.
No matter how you look at it, it's not suitable to go out, but not going out and waiting for them is also a difficult decision.
"You are so calm!"
The girl in the rubber boat came up to Gu Luan and said with some admiration, "My name is Bai Yue, what's your name?"
"Gu Luan."
Gu Luan, who had a good impression of Bai Yue, was not reluctant to tell Bai Yue his name.
The four rubber boats were inflated and everyone began to make preparations.
Gu Luan put on a down jacket, then a life jacket, and finally a raincoat.
Bai Yue, the fishing man and Zhang Yan all have life jackets.
The rest who didn't have one either tied the swimming rings their children used to learn swimming or tied empty beverage bottles around their bodies.
Li Lan looked at the people who were ready with a confused look on her face and said loudly, "What should I do if I don't have any?"
Manager Liu's face didn't look good. "It was all said in the group, if you don't have it, go back."
"I'm not going back."
Li Lan started to act like a spoiled brat. She looked around and finally looked at Gu Luan. "Give me your life jacket and raincoat. You live alone, so why do you need to go out to find food? It's not like my family of six."
Gu Luan didn't even look at Li Lan.
Seeing that Gu Luan ignored her, Li Lan rushed forward angrily and tried to snatch it away.
Gu Luan smiled contemptuously and kicked hard.
"ah!"
Li Lan let out a terrible scream, her back hit the wall, and she lay on the ground, unable to move.
Gu Luan's fierce action shocked everyone.
Kicked a woman weighing more than 100 pounds away with one kick?
Zhang Yan had an expression that said "as expected". It seemed that he was right in his guess that Gu Luan knew Kung Fu.
"sharp!"
Tan Tao opened his mouth wide, thankful that his sixth sense was strong and he did not provoke Gu Luan.
Manager Liu swallowed hard, looking like he couldn't afford to offend anyone.
"Ahem, it's getting late, let's get going."
Manager Liu pretended to cough a few times to cover up his gaffe.
The remaining people came to their senses and did not dare to look at Gu Luan.
What a tough girl! She looks like she's easy to bully, but appearance is not what you expect.
Manager Liu reminded everyone of the danger and asked them to take good care of themselves.
As for the fallen Li Lan, everyone forgot about it. Li Lan, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, simply pretended to be unconscious.
Twenty-four people boarded four rubber boats.
Because the route was unknown, no one dared to waste the electric propeller and could only row the boat by hand.
Gu Luan, Zhang Yan, Tan Tao and Bai Yue were in a rubber boat, and the remaining six people were assigned here.
Gu Luan sat at the stern of the boat, eating a lollipop.
Bai Yue looked at her curiously, and when Gu Luan looked over, she carefully looked away.
The raindrops hitting my body hurt a little, but luckily the wind is not strong today.
Everyone carefully controlled the rubber boat and slowly left the community.
The current was a bit fast, and it was not easy for the rowers, so they had to change people from time to time.
Because of the heavy rain, the group could not move fast.
Along the way, most of the buildings in the county were submerged in water, and not even a tree could be seen.
Everyone was a little confused.
Except for some communities that were not flooded, they couldn't find anywhere to go. How could they find food?
Zhang Yan and Tan Tao knew the situation a long time ago, but did not speak up at the first time.
"how so?"
A man in his forties murmured, his expression somewhat desperate.
Everything is flooded, can they find food? Without food, everyone will die!
"What should we do?"
As a girl, Bai Yue instantly burst into tears and clenched her teeth.
