Feeling the eyes focused on me.
Ren Siyu's face was stiff.
He didn't know how he should answer.
The expectant eyes of my wife and daughter.
The nervous looks of the neighbors’ parents, wives, and children.
All of this was forcing him to make a decision.
But... one hundred kilometers.
Even if I can hold on.
Where is your daughter?
My daughter is only in her teens now. Can she walk these 100 kilometers?
My wife is in such poor physical condition.
What if you can’t hold on halfway.
Wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?
Think of the possibility of failure.
His eyes were dazed.
The images in his mind emerged, causing him to feel an intense fear.
I now live in Yingbin Garden Community, although my life is not very wealthy.
But at least there is a great guarantee of safety.
If you go out rashly, there will be too many uncertainties.
Whether it is weather or man-made.
Thinking of this, Ren Siyu shook his head.
Solemnly said:
"We will not leave. We will find a military district to join us."
"There are too many uncertainties on this road. If we stay in the Yingbin Garden community, we can still survive by searching for supplies nearby."
"But after we leave, our lives are no longer in our hands."
"Sorry, honey."
Hearing Ren Siyu apologize to him.
His wife kept shaking her head and waved her hands.
And he said very firmly:
"I will always support your decision."
"Don't leave, stay in the present moment."
"It's good for us to be together as a family forever."
The neighbor family listened to Ren Siyu and decided to stay.
I felt relieved immediately.
Now they are the only two adults in their team.
If one person is missing, it is not as simple as losing half of the strong labor force.
"It's better to stay."
"It's better to stay..." the neighbor's parents whispered.
Then the neighbor's mother looked at Ren Siyu eagerly and greeted him:
"It's noon now, do you want to eat first?"
Facing the questioning from the neighbor’s mother.
Ren Siyu touched his belly.
I'm really hungry.
Especially after hearing the news outside.
His stomach was rumbling with hunger.
"Well, let's make lunch." Ren Siyu nodded in response.
Soon, a pot of fragrant food was cooked.
Smell the aroma from the pot.
Ren Siyu secretly sighed in his heart:
You're right to stay!
This is what it's like to escape on the road.
I'm afraid it's a fantasy to think of having a pot of warm food like this!
As the delicious food goes down your stomach.
His face was filled with satisfaction.
This is much happier than having a big meal before the end of the world.
Now they are trying to save food.
Actually, it’s just a lunch.
Moreover, adult men should eat more, while women should eat less.
It’s the children at home.
To enhance resistance.
There will be two meals a day.
"While it's safe now, why don't I go out and form a team and bring back some supplies?" After Ren Siyu had eaten and drunk his fill, he told his wife and neighbors.
So many days of silence.
Their firewood filled the bedroom.
Not much food was eaten.
But it's true as he said.
Now while there is no snowstorm.
Although the weather was cold, the road became much easier to walk on and there was no howling cold wind.
They also have a clear direction when they go out to explore.
Able to obtain more supplies.
Missed this dawn.
I don’t know when the next dawn will come.
And... they can't go gambling, because after gambling, everything will be sunny.
If this sunny day means sunny days forever.
Then I guess the country won’t organize migration to the south.
The country should have observed that the sunny weather this time will only last for a few days.
Wait until the sky darkens again this time.
The storm that is coming will probably be even more violent than before.
The temperature outside will also be lower.
But...when she heard that her man had to go out, she fought to the death.
Ren Siyu's wife's eyes instantly showed panic.
Like a frightened little rabbit.
She went straight into Ren Siyu's arms.
A gentle voice sounded in Ren Siyu's ears:
"don't want."
"I don't want you to go out."
"Now that our supplies are distributed in the same way as before, we can last at least half a year."
"Let's go out and look for supplies in half a year, okay?"
Faced with his wife's reluctance.
The tenderness in Ren Siyu's heart was touched.
There was a deep sense of reluctance on his face.
It was the neighbor's father who stood up directly after hearing Ren Siyu's proposal:
"Although I am nearly fifty years old."
"But there is no problem with his physical fitness. You saw him carrying supplies before."
"It's the same when I go out to form a team."
"Besides, even if something happens to me, I'll be relieved to have you here to take care of this family."
Although there was a lot of sadness in his words.
But there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
But very firm.
It makes people feel shocked when they see it.
The neighbor's mother looked at her man and suggested taking over Ren Siyu's job.
She was also full of worries.
But...it's a sunny day.
Someone has to go out and look for supplies.
Without production capacity, the supplies in this area are a constant.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
When they have used up all the resources, everyone will go out and look for it, and then go to the places that others have searched.
That would be nothing.
After all, the country is about to retreat.
Who could not understand this dangerous signal?
This is a long and persistent battle.
Knowing this, they are an old couple.
She knew she couldn't persuade her man.
I can only bow my head silently and nod in agreement:
"be safe."
As soon as the words came out, the neighbor's wife echoed them.
Seeing this, Ren Siyu was greedy for the gentle land.
But he still stood up very stubbornly.
Put your wife on the mattress.
Gently comforting:
"Sorry...I have to participate in the outing during the day."
"No matter how much supplies we harvest, I promise you that I will always put my own safety first."
I heard Ren Siyu was determined to go out.
There was a deep sadness on the wife's face.
But he nodded.
He responded softly.
The daughter was also reluctant to leave, but when she saw that her father was already dressed, she went straight to Ren Siyu, hugged him, and asked Ren Siyu to lower his head.
He gave Ren Siyu a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Said in a female voice during her voice change period:
"Dad, please be safe."
"My mom and I are waiting for my dad to come back home!"
Ren Siyu looked at his daughter.
There was a deep touch on his face.
My daughter... has grown up.
"Don't worry, your grandfather and I will definitely guarantee your safety!" After making this assurance, Ren Siyu followed his neighbor's father and strode outside.
Following the sound of the door closing.
The room fell into silence instantly.
It seemed as if there was no life at all.
When they got outside the room, the neighbor's father asked Ren Siyu:
"What do you mean?"
"Where can we find people to form a team?"
He also tends to hang out with more people now.
Over the past few days, the people in their building have shown a desire to unite and survive together.
Ren Siyu pondered for a moment.
Opening his mouth:
"Go find Liu Xiuniang."
“She’s now become the organizer in our building.”
I heard Ren Siyu mention Liu Xiuniang.
Although the neighbor's father had many dissatisfactions with her.
But he still nodded resolutely and agreed.
After all...they were in the building.
There was only Liu Xiuniang as an organizer, and the others were just individual members.
There is no guarantee of safety if you cooperate with those people.
When the two men arrived at the room where Liu Xiuniang was, they saw more than a dozen men gathered there.
They quarreled noisily.
There are more topics:
"Why should we pay Lei Yongjun for this trip? We don't need military-grade winter clothing, we can still find our way out!"
"That's right. I just don't want to give the supplies that I worked so hard to carry back to Lei Yongjun and his gang. They are just hooligans, termites and pests living in our community! If it weren't for them, the environment in our community would definitely be more harmonious."
"In addition to the share given to Lei Yongjun, why should we pay you 50 kilograms of supplies? This is too much! Besides, you haven't paid us back yet!"
"Liu Xiuniang, don't be too greedy! How much can you and your grandson eat? Don't you still rely on the help of the neighbors in the building for your safety? If it weren't for our protection, you and your grandson would have been eaten alive by the residents of other buildings, right?"
"......"
Just got here.
Just listen to the dissatisfaction and protests raised by the crowd.
Ren Siyu lowered his head and remained silent.
He and his neighbor's father are considered latecomers.
They remain silent about the rights that others fight for.
After all, they have a share in the fight.
As for giving it to Liu Xiuniang?
Naturally, the less the better.
Even though she was the organizer and responsible for coordinating everyone's relationships, she shouldn't take too many supplies that the big guys risked their lives to bring back.
This is the principle and bottom line.
Seeing that everyone had such strong opinions, Liu Xiuniang frowned and remained silent for a while.
Naturally, she hoped to get as many supplies as possible.
But as everyone said, there were only two of them, a woman and a child.
It's not safe to occupy so much supplies like this!
After thinking it through.
Liu Xiuniang took a deep breath and said:
“Everyone!”
"It's not that I, Liu Xiuniang, am greedy."
"These 50 kilograms of supplies won't be much if you share them equally."
"It's just that everyone takes out five kilograms."
"But I also listened to you and didn't take too much supplies. Every day when you go out, no matter how many people there are, each of you should give me two kilograms of supplies. Is that okay?"
"Also, the group of people that you mentioned, Lei Yongjun."
"I admit that they are pests and have caused great damage to our community, but... you have rented military-grade winter clothing from them before."
"Everyone who has rented it knows that wearing it while driving can save a lot of trouble and will not cause hypothermia for the person driving the car. This is good for everyone."
"For safety reasons, this cannot be saved."
"How about renting one, and then we can go out together and take turns wearing it and lead the way?"
Liu Xiuniang chattered on and on.
There was a strong sense of helplessness in her tone.
But you can also hear that she compromised with everyone.
One person collects two kilograms of supplies.
On this point.
Everyone looked at each other.
But he didn't resist anymore.
Seeing that everyone agreed with what he said.
Liu Xiuniang let out a long sigh.
She just did a rough calculation and found that there were at least fifteen people inside and outside the house.
With so many people, two kilograms per person, that's thirty kilograms, and she makes pure profit.
What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Thinking of this, Liu Xiuniang said:
"Then I'll go over there as a hostage, and you guys go out and explore and collect supplies."
"I'm putting my life in your hands."
Liu Xiuniang was filled with deep sadness when she spoke.
In fact.
It was precisely because she wanted to mortgage herself to Lei Yongjun and his gang that she was able to obtain these 30 kilograms of supplies.
Otherwise, why would everyone willingly donate supplies just because of her organization?
In this way, the safety of their wives and daughters is also guaranteed.
Responsive.
Liu Xiuniang also believed that these fifteen people could ensure the safety of the military-grade winter clothing.
"Register your addresses. Don't lie, otherwise get out of our team!" Liu Xiuniang instructed everyone again.
Next.
Everything went smoothly and everyone registered their information.
Afterwards, they were asked to check each other.
After making sure that there were no problems, Liu Xiuniang took her grandson and walked towards room 202 of building where Lei Yongjun and his group were.
Wait until they arrived outside Lei Yongjun's room.
The women who were mortgaged here all widened their eyes.
The people gathered outside the door also showed expressions of disbelief.
"Liu Xiuniang! How dare you show up, you bastard!"
"I'm going to kill you! You've cheated me out of so much money, all my savings that I've worked hard to save for several years! You're simply a beast!"
"Pay me back, you old hag! Not only did you cheat us before, but now you're showing up in front of us with a clear conscience. Do you think we're easy prey?"
"..."
The voices of condemnation from the public.
With some people being blinded by anger.
Rushed directly towards Liu Xiuniang.
But how excited was Liu Xiuniang?
She hid directly in the crowd.
Surrounded by a dozen men and protected by them.
Then Liu Xiuniang shouted loudly:
"Sorry, everyone."
"When the disaster is over, I, Liu Xiuniang, will compensate you for any money you owe me!"
"There's no need for us to cause any casualties now, and I didn't mean to trick you in the first place. I just didn't have food, otherwise I would have delivered it to every household!"
Her voice fell.
Plus fifteen people protected her and surrounded her.
For a moment, those angry people lost their target.
They are not so stupid as to take action against fifteen grown men.
Who would be stupid enough to risk their life for nothing?
Even if I get hurt.
"You'd better remember what you said now!" someone shouted angrily, venting his anger.
"Thirty thousand yuan, you owe me thirty thousand yuan! When order is restored, if you can't pay me back, I'll demolish your house!"
"Damn you coward!"
"..."
The abuse gradually died down.
The people who were protecting Liu Xiuniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid that these people would rush over and fight with them.
If I get injured like that, I won’t be able to go out and look for supplies.
The whole family is waiting for them to bring back supplies.
"Brother Jun, I want to pledge myself here. Please get me a military-grade winter coat!" Liu Xiuniang came to the outside of room 202 and shouted loudly as she walked inside. She didn't care at all that the age difference between her and Lei Yongjun was enough for him to be his mother.
