Chapter 15 Black Lotus
In the blink of an eye, 3 days passed by, and during these days, the property management established an owners' group. Yin Shan found that there were 346 people in the owners' group. Except for his own building, which had fewer people, Building D had the most owners.
Yin Shan noticed that most residents in the community lived below the 7th floor, which was not good news for him.
When heavy rain hits, the flood will reach the 7th floor. Although there are residents on other floors, the empty rooms are obviously not enough for residents below the 7th floor.
Thinking of this, Yin Shan felt a sense of crisis. His own fighting force was sufficient to protect him, but Wang Lu and Hou Ting, the two girls, although they had listened to Yin Zhiwen's advice on survival these past few days, had no real combat experience. Moreover, both were inexperienced and might not have a clear understanding of the treacherous nature of human nature. With this in mind, Yin Shan went to the 21st floor to talk to his best friend.
Yin Shan arrived at the 21st floor and happened to catch the resident on the first floor knocking on the door. Wang Lu walked over to open the door. Yin Shan stopped Wang Lu and only opened the small iron window above. He asked, "Who are you? What's going on?"
The person knocking on the door was an old lady. Seeing three little girls inside, she rolled her eyes and said, "Hey little girls, why are you installing a door at the elevator entrance? Have you informed the property management? This is a public space."
When Hou Ting heard this, she immediately retorted, "Are you from the property management? The property management doesn't care, it's none of your business. Who are you? We don't even know you."
The old lady was visibly taken aback, then stumbled back, "You, you little girl, how can you be so uneducated? I just thought I was just a neighbor coming up to say hello. I heard the property management company set up some kind of group, but I'm too old to use it. I heard the girl who lives on the 21st floor is beautiful and kind, so I didn't want to come up and let you teach me a lesson."
Yin Shan frowned and asked, "Who told you that there's a beautiful and kind-hearted girl living on the 21st floor?"
The old lady said, "Oh, it's the building manager. The building manager assigned to each building by the property management company told me."
Yin Shan understood. It seemed that the property management knew who lived on each floor. Moreover, this so-called building manager had leaked such information to the residents on the first floor after only three days of acid rain. They should be wary. So Yin Shan refused and said, "There is a nice girl here, but she has no good heart. The building manager is so enthusiastic, you should ask him to teach you." After Yin Shan finished speaking, he closed the small iron gate and ignored the old lady who was cursing at the door.
Yin Shan and the other two went to Hou Ting's house. Yin Shan said, "This building manager doesn't sound like a good person. The property management has information about all the residents. It may not be comprehensive, but at least they know the number of residents on each floor, as well as their gender and age. You two should be careful and don't open the door to anyone who comes."
Hou Ting said, "Indeed, according to Uncle, the next few years will be very chaotic. So we have to assume that everyone except us is a bad guy!"
Yin Shan said, "I have a few fire extinguishers here. They were left by the workers during the renovation. I'll leave them here for you two. If anyone is blind, just give them a slap in the face!"
Wang Lu said, "Uh, that's not good. You're being too cruel. What if I get blinded?"
Yin Shan was speechless. Just as she was about to lecture her bestie, Wang Lu continued, "Besides, that stuff is so filthy! We have to clean it up. We've been storing up a lot of acid rain by opening the windows these past few days. We're leaving it right at the door. If anyone comes by, we'll just throw a basin at them!"
Yin Shan: Where the hell did this black lotus come from!
Hou Ting: You’re just pretending to be a weakling!
Yin Shan was speechless and warned, "If you splash it on your face, you'll be disfigured."
Wang Lu immediately perked up, ran home, and pulled out a few strange tubes to show the two. "I made these a few days ago. Remember those water guns we played with when we were kids? They were like syringes, you pump a wave, and then it goes straight through!"
Yin Shan understood: "Have you tried it? Acid rain won't corrode it?"
Wang Lu said, "My uncle was doing anti-corrosion work on the entire building before, so I asked for some extra anti-corrosion paint. I've painted the inside of these pipes with it, and I've tested it. It won't be corroded by acid rain. We'll fill these pipes with acid rainwater and put them at the door. If anyone's blind, just give them a slap in the face!"
Hou Ting: It turns out I'm the kindest one. I'm a good young man of the new century who's tough on the outside but soft on the inside...
Yin Shan looked at Hou Ting, who had a face full of confusion, and said, "Monkey, put away your useless kindness. This thing will only get you killed!"
Hou Ting nodded vigorously, and then she heard Wang Lu say slowly, "I don't know who pushed me to stockpile, and I wasted several pots!"
Yin Shan: Are these two really dead in their previous lives? Aren’t they in some remote corner wreaking havoc somewhere?
Yin Shan knew her bestie wouldn't let her guard down, so she felt relieved. She then took out some mung bean soup made with water from Ling Lake and gave it to the two of them. "My mom made this. Even though it's raining, it's still quite hot. Don't get a heat stroke."
Hou Ting looked at the two large pots of mung bean soup and took out two cans of cat food and stuffed them into Yin Shan's mouth: "Here, give it to Qixi."
Seeing Hou Ting grab a can of cat food, Wang Lu gave Yin Shan a box of anthelmintic. "This is for Hanhan and Qixi. Our company received a batch of pet anthelmintic the day before the acid rain. I had planned to deliver it directly to the customer the next day, but it started raining, and I never got the chance to deliver it. I just considered it money spent."
Yin Shan also stocked up on a lot of anthelmintics, but still accepted it.
Yin Shan knew that, in their eyes, even though mung bean soup wasn't worth anything, they hadn't paid the so-called "tuition" for Yin Zhiwen's help, even though Yin Shan had asked him to teach them apocalypse survival and martial arts later. After all, the three of them were already entangled. They had been best friends since high school, nearly 20 years now, so their affection was undeniable.
Guan Yunhua saw the smile on his daughter's face and teased her, "Why are you back so cheerfully? What's going on?"
Yin Shan told his mother what had just happened downstairs, then smiled and said, "Mom, Dad and I will go out in a few days. Please watch over them while they exercise!"
When Guan Yunhua heard their amazing moves, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "These two girls are amazing, so smart and clever. I'll watch them train, don't worry!"
Yin Zhiwen shook his head helplessly and said, "You left three troublemakers at home, who knows what they'll be like when they come back!"
Guan Yunhua snorted proudly and turned to cook. The father and daughter discussed the plan again and then went about their own business.
