"Please, we mean no harm, just let us in!"
A woman carrying her son on her back appeared in Song Yue's sight. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and her face and hands were dirty. It seemed that she had taken a lot of effort to find this place.
However, the uncle cook refused to budge: "No, even if you have a child with you, you have to explain clearly. We don't want a murderer living next to us."
The woman hurriedly shook her head when she heard this. "No, I swear I didn't! I got the blood from someone else. I'm just a little woman, how could I have the courage and strength to kill someone?"
To verify, the auntie next to her walked over, pinched the woman's slender wrists and arms, and gestured to the cook: "She really has thin arms and legs, and she doesn't have much strength."
"Master Chen, I think this little sister is quite pitiful. It's not easy for a woman to take care of a child. Let her and her mother come in."
Under the persuasion of the people around him, the uncle cook had to give in, but he still asked one more question: "Did you make this... woven bag on you?"
Song Yue also noticed the two homemade buoyancy bags on the woman's chest and back.
"I did it. I relied on this to float all the way here." The woman nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Alright, come on in." The cook was silent for a moment, then chose to trust the woman. "I suggest you stay on the 7th or 8th floor. We haven't received any news yet about the government sending rescue personnel, and the water level won't drop in the short term. It's estimated to continue rising. It's safer for you to stay upstairs."
The woman thanked him repeatedly and went to the stairwell with her son on her back.
The cook turned around and asked everyone to pack up and get ready to go upstairs.
Song Yue waited until it gradually quieted down outside before she completely opened the door.
She walked to where the woman had stood before, bent down, picked up the two buoyancy bags that the woman had thrown away, held them in her hands, and looked at them.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this thing?" Sister Mei followed behind her and asked in confusion.
Song Yue narrowed her eyes: "No problem, I'm just curious about how this thing is made."
She had tried in her previous life, but because it required extremely high levels of needlework skills, she never succeeded in any of them.
It is difficult for ordinary people to sew such fine and tight seams even if they spend a lot of time, not to mention that they can prevent the buoyancy bag from leaking much air under such a tight time situation. The skill is truly rare.
Song Yue went over the situation in her mind. She had seen the woman in the hypermarket before.
My husband and parents-in-law were with me at the time.
She remembered that when she sent Nan Nan back to the supermarket, the woman had grumbled to her husband: "Look at that little girl, she's so young and knows everything. And then look at me, I've been your slave, a full-time housewife for four years, and now I can't do anything except wash clothes and cook!"
Song Yue's eyes flickered as she took the two buoyancy bags.
The kayak on the balcony had been deflated and was moved by Huang An and Sister Mei.
After arriving on the 8th floor, Song Yue swiped her card and moved into her original room. She also moved the kayak in and kept it with her.
"See if there are any empty rooms on the 8th floor. If there are, just move in," Song Yue said as she walked towards the bed. She reached under the bed and found an axe in her hand. "If there are no empty rooms, use this to break the door open."
She got this fire axe from a hardware store. After smashing the door lock of the hardware store, she kept it in the space. So what she did just now were all fake moves, mainly to cover the space.
Huang An himself did not recognize that this was the axe from his family. After taking it, he took Sister Mei and the others to find a room.
At this moment, a very faint sound of a door closing was heard not far away.
Song Yue raised her eyebrows, said nothing, went back to the room, closed the door and locked it.
Finally, I have time to enjoy some quality personal time.
Song Yue threw herself onto the soft bed, then disappeared from the bed in a flash.
She had already eaten fish-flavored shredded pork rice and drank a full bowl of soup, so she was not very hungry now.
But she was just greedy, so she couldn't help but come in again.
If you can’t finish your main meal, it’s always okay to have some snacks and desserts, right?
After picking and choosing on the shelves, I finally decided on tiramisu cake and a cup of Oreo cheese milk tea.
It was already dark outside, and the Qianhe Lake residential area, which should have been brightly lit, was now pitch black.
The heavy rain and floods were terrible, but Song Yue didn't want them to affect her short time for delicious food.
The hotel still had its water and electricity running, so she closed the curtains, turned on the lights, and lay down on the soft lazy sofa, enjoying the delicious food.
She really likes the unique aroma of tiramisu, which has a light coffee flavor and a richer taste than ordinary cream cakes. Paired with rich milk tea, the thickness of the three-point sweetness complements the tiramisu perfectly.
If Song Yue hadn't had such a small stomach, she would have wanted to show off a few more pieces!
After slowly finishing her dessert, she suddenly wanted to eat some fruit.
What should I eat?
She scanned the space and her eyes fell on the sweet and juicy exploding melon.
Use the knife in the toolbox to cut it in half, hold the spoon and dig in. The full red flesh lies in the spoon, and juice keeps dripping from the edge of the spoon. Just looking at it makes you drool.
I put a spoonful into my mouth and chewed it lightly. The watermelon juice burst out like a burst of juice. The watermelon was sweet and the flesh was crispy, refreshing and delicious.
tasty!
Song Yue's eyes were full of joy, and she dug the fruit flesh faster and faster.
Soon she finished half of the watermelon.
After a long burp and touching his bulging belly, Song Yue felt that he was so happy at this moment.
After resting for a while, she threw the clothes that had been wet and the clothes she was wearing into the washing machine.
The original owner was a rich man, so he must have lived in the best room.
So this room has a separate kitchen, a separate washing area, a separate bathroom and a semi-large living room.
The washing machine is placed in the wash area. In addition, there is a dryer, so the washed clothes can be dried quickly.
Considering that there were no household appliances in the space, Song Yue thought for a moment and asked the system, "After the space upgrade, besides becoming larger in size, will it provide other functions?"
The system, which had been silent for a long time, said: [For example?]
"For example, the power supply system." Song Yue blurted out.
System: [Yes]
"When you reach a certain level, will it appear?"
System: [Level 2]
Song Yue sat up straight, her eyes shining!
Her space is now at level 1. Does that mean that as long as she completes this instance, the space will be powered up next time? Then she can use her washing machine, hair dryer, TV, and everything else?!
[Yes, you are right] The system confirmed her guess.
Song Yue felt her heart surge. She rubbed her hands and asked, "Will there be new features unlocked when upgrading in the future?"
System: [Yes]
"What else is there? Can you tell me about it?" Song Yue was eager to try it out and really wanted to know the following functions.
Who knew the system: [Wait for the host to know these things after he has completed the levels and upgraded step by step]
Song Yue: ...Okay
Shrug your shoulders and stop worrying about it.
The banging on the door and talking outside finally stopped. Song Yue knew that Huang An, Sister Mei and the others should have found the room.
She took a warm bath and found that her clothes had been washed when she came out, so she put them in the dryer, set the timer, and finally lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Song Yue was awakened by a knock on the door.
She turned over and found that the light in the direction of the toilet was not on.
Then I pressed the button on the bedside, but the bedside light didn't light up.
So I got up, put on my clothes, and planned to open the curtains to let some light in.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the outside world, Song Yue's heart trembled.
Overnight, the flood submerged the third floor of the hotel.
This speed... is too fast.
Her heart sank as she quickly walked to the door and responded to the knock: "Who?"
"Song Yue, it's me." Huang An's voice came from outside the door, "The staff said the water is rising too fast, and they want to gather everyone in the hotel to find a solution. Do you think we should go?"
Song Yue thought for a moment and said, "Go."
She didn't believe that they had no ulterior motives behind the invitation.
The author has something to say:
Hmm, no comments or anything? I'm not going to play it alone again, am I?
