When the water level receded completely, everyone stood downstairs with expressions of disbelief. Unlike the bustling crowd at Building 17, there were only a few dozen or even a dozen people downstairs at the other buildings. They looked at Building 17 in disbelief, which made the residents of Building 17 stand up straight.
This strange competitive mentality.
"Fang Zhiyi, thank you so much, really. Our whole family is very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened." Some people stepped forward to express their gratitude, while others excitedly ran outside.
A foul stench filled the air.
As the floodwaters receded, the bloated corpses were exposed to the air.
Many people's expressions changed.
"Then let's say goodbye," Fang Zhiyi said, waving to everyone before walking away.
“We won’t betray you!” someone shouted.
Fang Zhiyi turned around and gave an OK sign. Chen Rui jogged a few steps, still carrying his hiking backpack, and followed behind Fang Zhiyi with his girlfriend in his hand. Zhao Hu also followed, followed by some members of the guard team, and two other families also followed. Some people who originally agreed with Fang Zhiyi's statement hesitated at this moment. The disaster was over, and they did not need to follow such a dangerous person as Fang Zhiyi anymore.
However, this situation was within Fang Zhiyi's expectations.
“Look, the corpse of that man from the Sun family.” Li Duo pointed to a corner not far away, her face somewhat pale.
Chen Rui reached out and covered her eyes: "Don't look."
Zhao Hu's girlfriend looked at the kayak on his back with disdain: "Why did you have to bring that along?"
"What if it rains again later?" Zhao Hu asked firmly.
However, the sudden appearance of more than a dozen residents made Fang Zhiyi stop in his tracks. He had expected this, but he just sighed inwardly.
"Wait, we won't stop you from escaping, but... you don't need so much stuff, do you? You should at least leave us some more supplies." A man wearing glasses pushed up his glasses, a hint of smugness on his face.
Chen Rui looked at the man. He remembered that this guy used to be a minor leader in a certain unit. When they were trapped by the flood, this guy often said some sarcastic things, but because Fang Zhiyi said that everyone needed to unite, they didn't take it to heart.
"oh?"
“You killed people, we all saw it.” The man became even more smug. “But considering what you’ve done for everyone, we can let you go. However, I don’t think you need to take so much stuff with you.” He pointed to the bags that Zhao Hu and the others were carrying.
Before leaving, Fang Zhiyi made the distribution: some were left for the neighbors who wanted to stay and wait for resettlement, and some were taken away by those who wanted to follow her.
Clearly, Glasses now believes the disaster is over, and he straightens his back.
"I'll f*** you!" Zhao Hu cursed as soon as he opened his mouth. His girlfriend slapped him and said, "How come I never noticed you were such a good actor when we were in the building?"
"Hey? Have you thought this through? Now that the water has receded, we've seen everything you've done!" Glasses bluntly stated, his face full of threat.
Fang Zhiyi looked at the people behind him. Although they avoided his gaze, they clearly agreed with Glasses' words.
"Isn't this going too far? Murder? Who would want to kill someone if it weren't to protect everyone? Open your eyes and see what's going on in the other buildings!" Li Duo glared angrily.
