After returning home, separated by two walls, Wang Wei and Jiang Yuan were exhausted.
After helping Jiang Yuan lie down on the bed, Wang Wei immediately wanted to bring some food to Xia to express her gratitude, but Jiang Yuan stopped her.
"Xia stayed up all night with me, she should rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow, there's no rush."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wei gave up and clumsily wiped and changed Jiang Yuan's feet. She had never done this kind of work before and was not skilled, but after all, he was her husband, so she even helped wipe his smelly feet.
Seeing Jiang Yuan suffer, her heart ached.
Both of them felt physically and mentally exhausted as soon as they relaxed.
Jiang Yuan comforted her, saying that after witnessing a tragic human drama at the hospital all night, he felt incredibly lucky.
"Seriously, it's a good thing we resisted the pressure and didn't rush into having a baby. Otherwise, the child would be no more than two years old, how could they withstand this weather..."
Jiang Yuan had many feelings, but he spoke weakly and intermittently, almost hypnotizing Wang Wei.
Wang Wei thought to herself, "If someone can think about so many random things, then they must really be fine. I should just tidy up, wash up, and go to sleep."
Jiang Yuan: Lamenting the impermanence of life...
Wang Wei: Mmm...ZZz...(:3[____]

day15
The next day, Wang Wei went to thank Xia.
Wang Wei felt quite apologetic, as she had originally invited Xia Ning to chat, but Xia Ning ended up spending the whole day with her.
Xia Ning then asked her if she had sought compensation from the chicken cutlet shop owner.
Wang Wei said the boss had fled long ago, and according to his landlord, he had gone to stay with relatives in the countryside. The victims went to the police station together to give statements; the case was filed, but there was no word on when it would be closed.
It's not that the police don't care, it's that they can't manage it all.
Wang Wei added that some family members suggested seeking compensation from the property management company, saying that since the incident occurred in the community, it was due to the property management company's inadequate supervision.
Neither she nor Jiang Yuan got involved.
Those people wanted to use Jiang Yuan as a pawn, saying that as the building manager, he had the most authority to speak on the matter.
What right does he have to manage the building? He wants to manage the building, but is that reasonable?
Anyway, the couple just closed the door and ignored everyone, not even replying to messages. After all, they lost their phones, so the excuse was there for them.
The matter was temporarily put on hold.
Actually, Wang Wei and Jiang Yuan had already prepared themselves to accept their bad luck while they were in the hospital. It was their own fault for being greedy; Xia had already reminded them, but they didn't take it seriously.
Xia Ning comforted Wang Wei, "Luckily, it was just an upset stomach from eating something bad at night. If it were during the day, you wouldn't be able to get a taxi even if you paid a high price to come back."
Wang Wei nodded; that was what she had said to Jiang Yuan yesterday as well.
When people are down on their luck, they either look at people who are even more unlucky, or they try to find something less unlucky among themselves, in order to deceive themselves and comfort themselves.
People who drive for ride-sharing services risk their lives to make money. During the day, cars are getting tire blowouts one after another; who would dare to drive on the road?
The fried chicken owner might not necessarily be trying to make money unethically. Maybe the chicken was really slaughtered that day, but the weather just doesn't keep it fresh, and the meat spoils as soon as it's left outside.
Anyway, after all that commotion, no one dared to eat out anymore, and the stalls that had only been open for a few days closed down again.
After exchanging the latest information with Wang Wei, Xia Ning also began to examine her own information.
[Because you're poor, picky, and have a constitution comparable to a gorilla, you escaped unscathed from the mass food poisoning incident in your neighborhood.]
Xia Ning looked at the increasingly familiar descriptive words, pouted, and thought that only the first two introductions were somewhat serious, but soon the copywriting revealed its cheeky nature.
Oh well, let them mock us. It's not like we'll lose anything. As long as the stats are maxed out, that's fine.
Xia Ning discovered that after the food poisoning incident, her stamina increased by 1 point and her survival points increased by 30 points.

As for the number of remaining players.
"There are currently 975 players out of 1000 on this map."
With the progress bar halfway through and player losses not too high, Xia Ning wasn't surprised.
Those who can enter the arena are not newbies; they all have some skills they possess.
She was actually quite curious about what Jian Yuan and Shu Qilan's skills were, and wondered if she would have a chance to find out in the future.

On the other side.
Jiang Yuan resigned himself to his bad luck and decided to stop making trouble, but the other victims were not willing to give up.
I heard that a child in one family vomited white foam and convulsed after eating the fried chicken, and almost didn't survive. The parents were so angry that they smashed up the fried chicken shop the next day.
However, the shop was rented, and the landlord was also wronged, demanding compensation from them. The victim suddenly became the perpetrator, a truly confusing situation.
Everyone here is feeling incredibly frustrated!
For several days in a row, the residents' group chat has been discussing food poisoning.

[Homeowners' Chat Group]
Zou Xiaoyu from Building 6: I heard that the child in that family is only 6 years old. It's such a tragedy. I wonder if there will be any long-term effects.
Chen Fang from Building 8: It's lucky they were able to be saved.
Yunyun's mom from Building 8: If you ask me, this mother is outrageous. How could she let her child eat food from outside in this hot weather? She's irresponsible!
