Chapter 15: The End of the World
The kindness between women, if you don’t have sanitary napkins with you in special circumstances, just ask the women around you, and as long as they have sanitary napkins, they will generously give them to you.
But some people will take advantage of this kindness to harm others.
Zhou Qiuyang had just told Sun Qing and the others about this when Qin Yali came to find them.
Same rhetoric, same excuse.
Sun Qing did not agree to open the door, but as a woman, she could not bear to see Qin Yali's clothes stained with blood, so she stuffed a few sanitary napkins through the crack in the door and took them out.
Just as they pushed it out, the door was violently rammed by someone trying to break it open. Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie immediately moved the sofa and table to the door to block it tightly.
Sun Qing was depressed to death. It was really hard to guard against being deceived by such an excuse.
…
In the second half of the night, Xia Xiaoman didn't dare to sleep, nor did he do any strenuous exercise to consume his energy.
At the current rate of flood rise, it won’t be long before the residents on the 6th floor come up.
An iron door was installed on the 8th floor, and all the users in the building would swarm into the corridor on the 7th floor.
At that time, the users in the building would either break into the house on the 7th floor or forcibly demolish the iron gate on the 8th floor.
No matter what, she stretched her body first and made preparations. When an emergency occurred, she would have time to respond.
The wind was howling outside the house, the balcony window glass was shaking violently, and the anti-theft net escape window was creaking and shaking, giving people the illusion that the whole building was shaking.
Bang--
The loud noise startled Xia Xiaoman.
The sound came from the balcony. Just as I was about to check, there was another bang.
In the darkness, the balcony was hit by something, and glass fragments fell all over the floor. Strong wind came in from the gap, and the huge wind force blew Xia Xiaoman's hair up.
After standing there for a long time, Xia Xiaoman walked to the balcony cautiously.
The outermost layer of the balcony's anti-theft net was dented and one of the window panes was broken, with rain pouring in through the hole.
Xia Xiaoman took a look at the broken windows that were still standing, thought for two seconds, then raised his hand and smashed all the balcony windows.
If she didn't break the barrier, if the glass suddenly shattered and fell when she went to the balcony, she would probably get cut.
Suddenly, a light came on in a house in the opposite building.
Xia Xiaoman was wondering who had so many supplies, so she turned on the lights when she had nothing to do. After a while, she found something wrong.
Three short, three long, three short, the SOS international distress signal.
Xia Xiaoman squinted her eyes, trying to see what happened on the other side and ask for help. But it was too dark and raining too hard, and a layer of rain blocked her view, so she couldn't see anything.
She used her consciousness to search the space, and soon she took out a telescope.
The telescope was found in an outdoor goods store. It can't be compared with a professional telescope, but it is still enough to see the building opposite clearly.
The person who sent out the distress signal was holding a flashlight, but he was hiding in the shadows, so Xia Xiaoman couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Suddenly, the man seemed to hear a sound, looked back suddenly, and then hit the person behind him with a flashlight.
Through the telescope, Xia Xiaoman saw two figures fighting each other. After a while, one of them was picked up and thrown out of the window, and instantly disappeared in the flood.
The person who pushed the person into the water shone a flashlight around, then stealthily closed the window and turned off the lights.
After witnessing a murder, Xia Xiaoman became more vigilant. He stood guard at the door and kept an eye on the situation outside to avoid being thrown into the flood.
…
Time passed slowly, and the dark sky gradually faded to gray with a hint of white. The wind and rain were still fierce, with occasional shocking thunder and lightning.
Xia Xiaoman had never seen so much rain before. She couldn't help but think of those students she saw online last week who were excited about the suspension of classes. Could they still maintain that excitement now?
“Ah!! Kill, kill people!!”
A terrified scream entered the house. Xia Xiaoman put the things blocking the door into the space, lay on the door panel and looked out through the peephole.
"Shut up, bitch! If you keep making noise, I'll kill you!"
In the dim corridor, a sturdy man grabbed a woman by the collar and slapped her twice in the face.
The other people in the corridor dared not speak out and just huddled aside like turtles.
Another bald man dragged a body to the other side of the corridor. Xia Xiaoman's vision was blind, but she guessed that the bald man wanted to throw the body out of the window at the end of the corridor.
When the bald man was dragging the second body, Xia Xiaoman discovered that the dead person was actually the rescue worker who distributed supplies the day before.
The strong man waited for the bald man to deal with the bodies, found the supplies hidden by the rescuers, and divided them in half with the bald man.
The sturdy man tore open the instant noodle package, took a bite of the noodle, and stared at the people in the corridor. "Hey, do you want to live?"
The people in the corridor looked at each other, not knowing what the strong man meant.
The strong man continued, "The flood has already flooded half of the fifth floor. I estimate that it will reach the seventh floor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We are trapped on the seventh floor and will be drowned sooner or later."
"If you don't want to die, let's work together to find a way to remove the iron door on the 8th floor, and then we can all go to the 8th floor to take shelter."
"If you don't agree... I can send you to death right now!" The sturdy man looked at them one by one with a fierce look.
Some timid people swallowed the words they were going to say to wait a little longer.
The corridor was not big, and Xia Xiaoman could hear every word of the strong man's plan by putting her ear against the door.
Just as she was breathing a sigh of relief, a male voice suddenly sounded, "Brother, what are you going to do with the three households on the 7th floor?"
"The people living in 701 and 704 are my girlfriend's classmates, college students, pretty and innocent. And they have kayaks and a lot of food at home..."
Xia Xiaoman changed the angles several times and finally saw clearly that the person who was speaking was Qin Yali's boyfriend.
Qin Yali's boyfriend whispered in the sturdy man's ear for most of the day, and Qin Yali echoed him. A greedy look gradually appeared on the sturdy man's face.
Xia Xiaoman cursed Qin Yali and her boyfriend a thousand times in her heart.
After blocking the door with all the heavy objects in the space, Xia Xiaoman rushed to the balcony and hit the balcony anti-theft net 703 with a stick.
As soon as Zhou Qiuyang showed his head, Xia Xiaoman shouted at him, asking him to quickly notify Sun Qing and the others to guard the door.
When I returned to the house, a huge crash was heard, and the heavy object blocking the door moved little by little with the impact.
Xia Xiaoman held the machete in both hands, crawled to the door and waited patiently.
This time the banging on the door was different from the previous times. The person outside was determined to break the door open and kept banging on it for five or six minutes and refused to stop.
Click, the door lock is loose.
Xia Xiaoman slowly moved to the wall, tilted his head and stared at the door.
Another collision, and the door was opened with a gap as wide as a thumb.
Xia Xiaoman counted down in his mind, and when the next impact came, he chopped down along the crack in the door.
"Ahh! Hands, my hands!"
Blood splattered on the door, and the man who led the charge in ramming the door had a large piece of flesh cut off from his left arm.
The people behind him were shocked by this scene and broke out in cold sweats, and they all stepped back.
