Chapter 12 Meng Ci, come pick us up quickly
In the surveillance video, Li Xiaoya looked at Liu Jie expectantly.
"Brother Jie, what's going on?"
Liu Jie's face turned pale as he listened to the busy tone.
"His phone is turned off."
Liu Jie seemed unable to believe that Meng Ci, who usually bowed his head in front of him, dared not answer his call, so he called again.
"Beep, beep, the number you dialed is turned off, please..."
Liu Jie hung up the phone angrily.
"Brother Jie, don't be angry." Li Xiaoya saw that Liu Jie was angry and comforted him.
"Maybe Meng Ci forgot to charge his phone. He will definitely call you back when he sees your number."
Li Shanyang and Zhang Lu didn't feel anything at first, but now that they saw Meng Ci didn't answer the phone, they became extremely anxious and cursed.
The usually docile rabbit now showed a hint of resistance.
Of course, whether this resistance is voluntary or involuntary, it is unforgivable in their eyes.
"When the assets under Meng Ci's name come into my hands, I will beat him to death!"
"You are a bitch, how dare you disobey me?" Li Shanyang smoked a cigarette without stopping his cursing.
Zhang Lu patted Li Shanyang on the back affectionately and told him not to get angry so as not to hurt himself.
Meng Ci listened to the scolding of several people, and when he felt that the time was about right, he called Liu Jie back with his new phone.
"Hello." Liu Jie's voice was unfriendly.
Meng Ci said expressionlessly: "Brother Jie, it's me."
When Liu Jie heard Meng Ci's voice, his tone became even worse.
"What do you mean, why don't you answer my call and come pick us up quickly!"
"Do you still want me to care about you in the future?"
Meng Ci waited until Liu Jie had said enough before explaining in a low voice.
"I was going to pick you up, but my car was damaged by water and my phone was lost."
"I don't care, just come and pick us up quickly!" Liu Jie didn't listen to Meng Ci's explanation at all.
Li Xiaoya also took the phone and said, "Brother, please come and pick me up. I'm so scared."
"I'm sorry, sister."
"I remember there is a bed in the house. You can rest there for one night. I will find a way to pick you up tomorrow."
Meng Ci said apologetically, but there was a playful look on his face.
The end of the world has begun, and he wants to see how these hypocritical people kill each other.
Zhang Lu snatched the phone away and said, "Okay, Xiao Ci must remember to pick us up tomorrow."
"You have to be careful too."
"Yes, Auntie."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Ci turned up the volume of the TV.
"Mom, why are you being so polite? He won't even come to pick us up."
"that is."
Zhang Lu said: "It's raining so hard outside now, it's hard to get a taxi."
"If we don't speak nicer to him, what if he doesn't come to pick us up?"
"He dares." Li Shanyang was the first to be unhappy, "I'm his father, how dare he not come to pick me up."
Meng Ci had no desire to watch any more, so he turned off the TV, lay down on the coffee table, and began to sort out the plot.
On the third day after the heavy rain, the flood water continued to rise and the homes of residents living on the first floor began to be flooded.
Because this was a new neighborhood and many rooms were unoccupied, they began to pry open doors and break into homes.
On the eighth day, some floors began to have no water. Even if some floors had water, it was no longer from the water plant but rainwater. Many people started to get diarrhea and fall ill after drinking it.
On the thirteenth day, the intermittent power supply system finally stopped working.
At the same time, many families had run out of food, and those who could not bear the hunger began to pry open people's doors in the middle of the night.
If there are elderly people or women living in the house, they cannot beat them and can only let them rob or even be violated.
Order begins chaos.
Meng Ci drew a heavy circle with his pen on the sixth day.
Then I set an alarm on my phone for six days later, which was October 6th.
The surveillance will stop for ten hours at midnight and cannot be used.
People are still restrained by laws and regulations for the time being and dare not go out to steal things.
Meng Ci can use these few days to start shopping for free.
Especially medicine.
Although it is sold abroad, Meng Ci had previously only wanted domestically produced drugs, so he bought less.
Meng Ci opened his phone and checked a few pharmacies on higher ground. He saved the route and then turned his attention back to the TV.
In the surveillance video, Li Xiaoya reluctantly let Zhang Lu sleep on her princess bed, while Li Shanyang and Liu Jie were lying in the living room.
Because Liu Jie liked Li Xiaoya, in order to show himself in front of his future father-in-law, he gave the sofa to him and fell asleep on the single sofa.
Meng Ci lay comfortably on the bed, sleeping soundly with soft music playing.
“Ding ding ding.”
Meng Ci was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone, but it was just a little after seven.
Meng Ci did not answer the call right away. Instead, he stretched slowly, wearing his long-sleeved pajamas, and then took his phone to the balcony and called back.
Liu Jie's reprimanding voice came from the phone.
"Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Don't you want to pick us up?"
Meng Ci explained in a low voice, "No."
"This phone belongs to my roommate. He just gave it to me and I quickly took it."
Liu Jie did hear the voice coming from the other end of the phone, and only then did he calm down a bit.
"Hurry up and arrange for someone to pick us up!"
"good."
Meng Ci hung up the phone, yawned, went to the living room, boiled a pot of water, made himself a cup of coffee, turned on the TV and continued watching Li Xiaoya and the others.
Liu Jie was furious. He had not slept well on the sofa last night, while Li Shanyang was snoring loudly on the sofa.
If it weren't for Li Xiaoya, why would he suffer so much?
Liu Jie's family conditions are average. If it weren't for Meng Ci's love for him, how could he dress so well?
His father worked overtime at the company yesterday and is now left behind in the company, unable to help at all.
My mother is a housewife. When she calls, she only complains about the weather and worries about whether Liu Jie is in danger. She can't do anything else.
Liu Jie was so annoyed that he blocked his mother directly.
The people at home are unreliable. Liu Jie looked at the rain outside and saw that it had already submerged the roadside, and there was no sign of the rain stopping.
There was nothing here except a bed, a set of sofas, and some vegetables that Meng Ci bought yesterday.
"Gu~"
Liu Jie touched his stomach. He hadn't eaten anything last night and was now extremely hungry.
Looking at Li Shanyang who was sleeping like a pig on the sofa, Liu Jie quietly went to the kitchen.
In addition to vegetables, the bag also contained some snacks such as bread and potato chips.
Liu Jie turned around, closed the door tightly, and filled his stomach in one breath.
Seeing the remaining snacks, Liu Jie lowered his eyes and stuffed everything into the plastic bag without hesitation. He then stuffed the things out of the kitchen and tied them to the guardrail.
With the plastic bag protecting it, water shouldn't get in, but Liu Jie was still a little worried.
After searching in the kitchen for a long time, Liu Jie finally found half a floor tile in a cabinet and placed the floor on the plastic bag.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the food getting wet, nor do you have to worry about Li Xiaoya and the others finding out.
Liu Jie then left the kitchen. Li Shanyang was still sleeping soundly on the sofa, and had no idea what had just happened.
Meng Ci saw this scene and laughed sarcastically.
As expected, human hearts are selfish. He thought Liu Jie was sincere to Li Xiaoya, but he didn't expect that he would be so vulnerable in the face of life and death.
