Chapter 117 Speechless, Not Going Out Is Also Wrong
"Mr. Meng, what happened?"
As Li Qiang retreated, the figures of Duan Yan and Cheng Yu gradually appeared.
The stairs leading downstairs were close to Duan Yan and the others, so after hearing the sound of running away, the two men opened the door with knives in their hands and came out to check the situation.
Meng Ci had already opened the iron sliding door and walked out.
Chen Que, who was training Eggplant, heard something was wrong outside and came out and stood behind Meng Ci.
Seeing that its owner didn't stop it, Eggplant squeezed out with its head against the door.
Li Qiang and the man in the hat swallowed their saliva and backed away.
The man in the hat was backing away when he suddenly felt something sharp pressing against him from behind. He was afraid to retreat anymore and even wanted to move forward.
"Don't move!"
The man in the hat just took a step forward when he felt the knife following him closely, and even closer than before.
Hearing these words coming from behind again, he quickly stopped.
"Brother, brother, it is us who are blind to the truth."
"We won't dare to come here again. Please let us go this time."
Although the temperature is now over 40 degrees below zero, cold sweat has already appeared on the forehead of the man in the hat.
At this time, Li Qiang was pressed against the wall, begging for mercy.
"I, we're just taking a look."
"Brothers, please spare us."
Ignoring the two people, Meng Ci talked to Duan Yan and the others.
"Teacher Duan, Teacher Cheng."
"These two guys just tried to pick our door lock."
"Fortunately, I discovered it in time, so no disaster occurred."
"Thank you both teachers for your help. Leave the rest to us."
"It's cold outside, you guys should go back."
Duan Yan nodded, and before leaving, he reminded her worriedly, "If you need anything, speak up immediately."
Meng Ci agreed.
Shen Que saw the man named Li Qiang patting the eggplant squatting in front of him when he tried to escape after Duan Yan and the others left.
Eggplant immediately stood up, spread its four legs and ran quickly to Li Qiang, and let out a roar, which scared Li Qiang so much that his legs trembled.
“Help, help!”
"I won't dare to do it again. Please let me go."
Li Qiang didn't expect that there would be people raising wolves at this time, and judging from the size of the wolves, he was no match for them.
Meng Ci threatened the man in the hat with a knife and made him stand with Li Qiang.
"Tell me, why did you come to pry open our door?" Meng Ci asked.
For no reason, these two men came to pry open the door. They must have been exposed somewhere.
Since this is the case, we must know the reason and not make the same mistake again.
Li Qiang looked back and forth between the eggplant in front of him and the knife in Meng Ci's hand. He swallowed and then explained.
"We, we just observe and find that there are living people in some houses."
"But, but no one came in or out for a long time, so we concluded that the person in the house must have died."
"So they would break into their houses and take things."
Li Qiang and the man in the hat lived in this building. After returning from the refugee resettlement site, they found out that there were a total of twelve households living in the building.
There are two households on the seventeenth floor, and four households on the sixteenth and fifteenth floors.
On the fourteenth floor, only Li Qiang and his family and a couple lived.
Some time ago, that family did not go out for five consecutive days.
Li Qiang and Brother Hat were worried that something might happen to them, so they discussed it and decided to pry open the door so that if anything happened to them, they could report it in time.
Brother Hat learned lock picking for a while before the end of the world, so he took a piece of wire and started trying.
Pop.
Hearing the sound of the door lock opening, the two men were overjoyed, then opened the door and walked in.
The two searched the house for the couple and finally saw them in the bedroom.
The corners of their mouths turned up, and the exposed skin turned blue and black.
Judging from the condition of the body, it must have been frozen to death for several days.
Li Qiang remembered that five days ago, the temperature dropped sharply again at night, and they were probably frozen to death at that time.
In the end times, they have become indifferent to birth, old age, sickness and death.
So he pulled the door open and prepared to leave.
But when they saw the firewood in the living room, the two of them became interested.
They carried the firewood back to the two people's homes one batch at a time, and then rummaged through the couple's houses and found several canned rat food, a small bag of rice, and a lot of rapeseed.
These things are enough for two people to use for a few days, so they don’t have to go out in the snow and ice to chop firewood or catch mice.
The two people who got the advantage started to do things perfunctorily when they went out to look for things.
They would instead observe who had not gone out for a few days, and after confirming that, they would start to pry open the door and move things.
As for those houses where people often go in and out, the two men did not dare to go there.
After all, the army and the security team are not vegetarians.
As a result, Meng Ci and Shen Que, who had not gone out for ten days, were targeted by Li Qiang and others.
The lock on the door at the entrance to the seventeenth floor was easily opened by the man in the hat.
Seeing that both the north and south doors were closed, Li Qiang heard a noise coming from the south house, so he decisively went to the north with the man in the hat.
The two men were delighted when they saw another wall built on this side.
The protection is so strong, which means there are a lot of things inside.
After lying on the door and listening for two minutes and making sure there was no sound from inside, the man in the hat began to pry the door open.
When Meng Ci heard the reason, he was speechless.
I originally thought that if I didn't show off my wealth, no one would cause trouble for me, but I didn't expect that not going out often was also wrong.
"My two brothers, I promise that I will never do this again!"
"Please let us go, we won't dare to come again."
Meng Ci nodded: "If you want to let you go, you can!"
"But if you put forward conditions, you should at least give something in exchange."
"What do you think?"
Li Qiang was very considerate, "We have a few cans of cockroaches at home. If you need them, I'll bring them up later."
Li Qiang and the man in the hat were afraid to eat canned cockroaches.
What’s more, the food doesn’t taste very good. Two people won’t eat it unless they are extremely hungry.
At this moment, if taking it out can save their lives, of course they are willing to do so.
Meng Ci nodded, "Okay."
"But!" Meng Ci touched his chin and said, "You said you can bring it up later?"
"What if he doesn't come back or runs away? Who can I turn to?"
Li Qiang declined and said he would mortgage the man in the hat here, or let the man in the hat go down and get it.
Thinking of the two people who had just fled away when they were in danger, Meng Ci naturally disagreed.
"You, lead the way!" Meng Ci pointed a knife at Li Qiang.
"We will follow you and go to your house to get it ourselves."
Li Qiang and Brother Hat were naturally unwilling to do that. What if they let a wolf into the house and what they got was not just canned cockroaches?
The knife in Meng Ci's hand stabbed towards Li Qiang's neck.
"Why, you don't want to?"
"If you don't want to, then die here."
Although Meng Ci's knife did not hurt Li Qiang, the cold blade still scared him.
"Yes, yes!" Li Qiang said quickly.
"lead the way!"
"yes."
