Chapter 51 Cash Withdrawal
"Auntie Sun, you guys go back. I'll go upstairs first." Xu Sichen said goodbye to them.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, wait a minute, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet!" Sun Caifeng quickly stopped him. "Although the group purchase organized by the property management company is more expensive, it is still much more convenient."
"Sister Xu, let's add one too." Wei Mingliang said with a smile.
"good!"
Finally, Xu Sichen added Sun Caifeng and Wei Mingliang on WeChat.
Sun Caifeng glanced at the stairs and whispered, "Xiao Xu, be more careful next time. I think Qian Li and the others must be hating you this time. You're alone. If you get into any trouble, go find your Uncle Wei, okay?"
"Thank you, Aunt Sun!"
Just as Xu Sichen was carrying his things and stepped onto the stairs, Qian Li and Wu Dawei came up from below.
Their eyes met, and she could clearly see the hatred and malice in their eyes.
Haha, I completely hate it.
I guess they haven't learned enough lessons, so they still have the courage to hate.
Xu Sichen walked up the stairs expressionlessly, his movements and demeanor inexplicably frivolous.
Qian Li and Wu Dawei were extremely angry, but in the end they said nothing because their knees still hurt.
After returning home, Xu Sichen went to the bathroom to take a bath and wash up to get rid of the moisture and fatigue.
She didn't have much time left to take a bath as she pleased, so she couldn't waste it.
Then turn on the TV and choose tonight's dinner from the space.
Is Hunan cuisine better or Huaiyang cuisine?
Finally, we chose a seafood feast.
Spicy mantis shrimp, swimming crab with scallion oil, braised prawns, spicy fried clams, and small seafood with sauce.
Slurp~
It's not even set up yet, but I'm already drooling.
If the seafood is not filling, you can order a few more plates.
I added some grilled razor clams and paired it with a bottle of iced cola, it was delicious.
On the evening news, the anchorman, with a solemn expression, reported the historically rare torrential rainstorm for the first time: "The precipitation has reached a new high... Rainfall in a single hour... This is the heaviest rainfall in Jiangcheng's history... Flood prevention work is underway in an orderly manner. Residents in low-lying areas are advised to take shelter first..."
Change the channel, the news content is the same, just change the host and local report, from Jiangcheng to Haicheng.
In the end, Xu Sichen directly logged into a video platform and chose a funny variety show.
Halfway through his meal, Xu Sichen was gnawing on the crab's big claws when the doorbell rang.
I opened the door and saw a takeaway boy outside, dripping wet, holding two foam insulation boxes. He smiled and said, "This is your takeaway. There are two more boxes below. Wait a minute, I'll go down and bring them up for you."
Xu Sichen was stunned for a moment, thinking that she would be called to go down and get it.
After all, she ordered a lot of things.
Taking the cooler, she asked curiously, "You came here by kayak, right? Doesn't the kayak have anything to do with putting things down there?"
Given the current scarcity of resources, if they are left outside unattended, they will be gone in seconds.
The delivery guy said: "My friend and I delivered it together. My friend is watching from below. The water outside hasn't even reached my head. People can't walk, and the electric bike can't be driven at all."
After saying that, he ran down again.
Although 12 floors is not high, it is still very tiring to carry the weight up the stairs twice.
When the delivery guy came up again, it was hard to tell whether the water on his face was rain or sweat.
"Wipe it off." Xu Sichen stuffed the towel into his hand and gave him two thousand yuan. "Be careful when you go back."
"No, no, the delivery fee given by the platform is very high now. The cost of one day's delivery can be equivalent to a month's delivery normally."
In the end, the delivery guy had no choice but to accept it, thanked me repeatedly, and went downstairs briskly.
Two thousand is not a lot, and with today's prices, you can't buy much.
But it reminded Xu Sichen of something.
That means going to the bank to withdraw cash.
When the end of the world truly comes, power outages, water outages and internet outages will not be far away.
She remembered that the power went out first, then the water, and finally the internet.
But in fact, after a power outage, the Internet is basically useless unless there is sufficient power supply at home.
At that time, digital currency and online payment were no longer useful.
On the contrary, cash can still sustain for a while.
Xu Sichen directly called the bank and made an appointment for withdrawal service.
The withdrawal amount is a bit large, so I can only withdraw it from several banks.
After thinking about it, I went to the forum and Weibo again and added a comment to the previous post about survival in the apocalypse.
Then he opened WeChat again, ready to remind Sun Caifeng.
When she went in, she found that Sun Caifeng had not only added her to the community's group buying group, but also transferred 500 yuan to her.
It was the money for the kayaking trip they had agreed on earlier.
Xu Sichen did not refuse and took it directly.
Then he wrote a message: Aunt Sun, if it is convenient, I suggest you keep more cash at home.
Without explaining the reason, he sent it out.
The next day, Xu Sichen slept until he woke up naturally as usual.
Then comes daily exercise, washing and eating.
I glanced at the time on my phone. It was September 21st, four days left until the end of the world.
I looked through the window at the water level below. It had risen a bit compared to yesterday and was probably almost reaching the top of the first-floor window.
She hesitated between going out to withdraw cash to buy cigarettes and alcohol and sending a teleport to collect oil, and finally decided to postpone the last teleportation for a day.
I put on a waterproof suit and carried the kayak with a motor downstairs.
As she expected, the water on the first floor had already reached halfway up the window at the stairwell.
A lot of people gathered in the stairwell on the second floor, all of them worried and distressed.
"It's only been one day, how come the water level has risen so much? I remember that window was only slightly flooded last night."
"Hey, didn't you hear that it rained heavily again last night?"
"The rain is so loud that I have to wear earplugs to sleep now, otherwise I can't sleep at all."
"It's risen by a little over ten centimeters overnight. If this continues, our second floor won't be safe either!"
"Did the experts say when the water would be shut off?"
"No, they predicted a date, but were disappointed. Now those experts are silent."
"Is the sky leaking? How can there be so much water?"
"Who knows? I think I'd better move first. If it really floods, it will be too late."
Rich people never have just one house.
After saying this, a resident on the second floor hurried home.
The hostess of the other house heard this and said to the man next to her worriedly: "Husband, why don't we move too."
"Okay!" The man agreed without hesitation.
The residents on the third and fourth floors were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"No matter how much rain falls, it can't possibly flood our third floor!"
Xu Sichen got on the kayak and headed straight towards the bank.
The bank is still open for business, but the business hall on the first floor has been moved to the third floor.
