Chapter 46: In the end times, only ruthlessness can survive
"Have mercy, have mercy, we are wrong."
The two people on the speedboat were beaten without any resistance and begged for mercy.
But Meng Ci and Shen Que both understood that if they didn't kill them, they might be the ones to die if they met them again in the future.
Meng Ci and Shen Que cooperated very well. When Meng Ci drove the speedboat close to the opponent's speedboat, Shen Que stabbed it with a knife.
Then the two speedboats deflated one after another, and some of the speedboats that tried to catch Meng Ci and his team were also chopped down by two people with knives.
"Help me! Help me!"
"I can't swim, and I have a 70-year-old mother at home."
…
Meng Ci and Shen Que ignored them, and soon they were washed farther and farther away by the flood.
A man was holding onto a log in the flood.
Meng Ci and Shen Que did not let him go either.
They drove the speedboat over and injured the man's hand, forcing him to let go of the wood, and then he was washed away by the flood.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Shen Que asked worriedly after resolving the danger.
Meng Ci shook his head, "It's okay."
Having just experienced a fierce battle, the two men had no intention of talking anymore. Meng Ci drove the speedboat back in silence.
Meng Ci got off the speedboat first. Chen Que handed the coal to Meng Ci on the speedboat, and Meng Ci took it and put it on the ground.
When residents in other buildings and this floor saw the two of them coming back and found that they only brought coal and no food, they all said that they were stupid.
But I didn't dare say that out loud.
After all, they saw the blood on the two people's bodies and the blood stains on the knife.
Several people were even so scared that they ran away.
Oh my god, these two guys actually killed someone.
If he didn't like them, he would kill them too.
Chen Que carried two bags of coal upstairs at a time, and Meng Ci was responsible for watching the coal here and putting away the speedboat.
When several people saw the rabbit in the cage, they all looked greedy and envious.
"Little brother, how much is your rabbit? I want to buy one."
"If you don't want to buy one, you can buy one of my legs."
Several people were chattering in his ears, and Meng Ci was extremely annoyed.
He gripped the long knife tightly in his hand, and then chopped it hard on the wall, and the knife was fixed on the wall.
“Not for sale!”
This wall is a concrete wall, but he managed to get the knife in so deep with his bare hands.
If the knife had hit them, it would probably have been more than just broken arms and legs.
All the onlookers could only leave reluctantly, and after they walked away they were still saying something about how ignorant Meng Ci was.
Meng Ci didn't care about these words.
In fact, he is now just a person who looks strong but is weak inside.
After all, it was the first time I killed someone.
If those few people hadn't been watching here, Meng Ci didn't want to show his weakness and he would have sat down on the ground a long time ago.
At this time, the people watching around left. Meng Ci sat on the ground gasping for air. His hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even zip up the bag that contained the speedboat.
"What's wrong?" Shen Que came down at this time and asked with concern when he saw Meng Ci like this.
Meng Ci shook his head and said, "It's okay, my hands are just a little soft."
Shen Que zipped up his pants and touched Meng Ci’s head.
"This is going to happen more often in the future, just get used to it."
"You stay here slowly, I'll carry the coal up."
"Yeah." Meng Ci nodded.
Then he saw the blackness on Shen Que's hands, and thought that he actually touched his head with these hands, he couldn't believe it.
"Shen Que, your hand!"
Shen Que looked at his hands, which were extremely dark, and coughed awkwardly.
"Well, I'll boil some water for you to wash your hair later."
"That's more like it." Meng Ci was satisfied, and Shen Que continued to walk upstairs carrying two bags of coal.
After this period of joking around, Meng Ci felt less burdened.
Although Meng Ci had been threatening people with a knife before, he had never killed anyone.
There are twelve people today!
But Shen Que was right, you have to get used to this kind of thing.
The end of the world has just begun. If you are not used to it, you will find that those who survive will be more cruel than each other.
If you don't have the heart to do that at that time, you will only hurt yourself.
Meng Ci reached out and touched the rabbit in the cage.
So furry and cute.
Fortunately, there are plenty of carrots in the space, so I can afford to grow it.
Carry all the coal upstairs, five bags per person.
Meng Ci was carrying a rabbit cage and a speedboat, and while waiting for Chen Que to open the door, he saw that the newly built wall had been hammered several times.
But fortunately, the wall was made thick by the two of them, so it didn't have any effect at all.
After returning home, Meng Ci asked Shen Que to stay for dinner.
Because Shen Que worked so hard this time and carried most of the coal, Meng Ci didn't ask Shen Que to help.
Meng Ci took out two bags of pressed noodles from the cupboard and fried some shredded potatoes.
The two of them each had a big bowl, and Meng Ci also took two cups of brewed milk tea.
Just as I put down the dishes, the alarm outside sounded again.
The two men took knives and went out. Through a ten-centimeter square passage left on the side, they saw Zhang Mingtian.
Zhang Mingtian saw two people and shook a huge plastic bag in his hand towards them.
"Brothers, we are back from looking for food!" Zhang Mingtian's face was full of smiles. It seemed that he found a lot of food this time.
After Meng Ci opened the door, he took the plastic bag from Zhang Mingtian and expressed his gratitude.
Zhang Mingtian quickly shook his head to indicate that there was no need to thank them, and then said that this time when they went out, they found a supermarket that had not been completely flooded.
Although a lot of the food inside was stolen, they still found a lot of edible things and invited Meng Ci and others to go together tomorrow.
Meng Ci shook his head, "No, we still have to find other things."
"Is it coal?" Zhang Mingtian asked.
"Coal is indeed necessary, otherwise the food can't be cooked?"
When Zhang Mingtian came back, he already knew that Meng Ci and his crew had actually brought back a shipload of coal this time.
Many people expressed their incomprehension about this matter.
But Zhang Mingtian felt that Meng Ci and Shen Que were not ordinary people, and they must have their reasons for doing so.
Meng Ci nodded and said, "Besides cooking, there is another more important reason. The weather is getting colder."
"It's November now, and winter has truly arrived. If I don't find something to keep warm, I might not survive the winter."
"If someone freezes to death, the food they stockpile will become someone else's."
Zhang Mingtian felt that Meng Ci was right and quickly thanked him for his reminder.
After closing the security door, Shen Que asked in confusion, “You are so kind to that guy, can you be sure that he is a good person?”
Meng Ci said: "He looks quite honest."
"And if we're the only ones who bring back something to keep warm, then if it gets really cold later, we'll be a thorn in the flesh."
Shen Que nodded, feeling that Meng Ci was thinking long-term.
The two men thought that the store still had a lot of coal, so they planned to go again tomorrow. It would be best if they could transport all the coal.
