Chapter 022 Chapter 22
A smoke bomb with some irritant added was thrown, and the people in ambush were instantly shocked. They closed their eyes and could not see anything. They were scared to death. They subconsciously thought it was a grenade.
The people who were also lying in ambush downstairs estimated that Ji Yang should have reached the ambush point, and immediately rushed up to try to attack from both ends: "Kill! Kill this woman, and the gun will be ours!"
Qiao Huijun took the lead, his face still showing ecstasy about owning a gun.
However, the next second when he appeared at the corner of the stairs, he was dumbfounded by the scene he saw.
Before he could react, something appeared at his feet, and then a thick smoke rushed straight to his face, causing him to close his eyes instinctively: "Ah! My eyes——"
Ji Yang put on a gas mask and appeared in front of them in a dignified manner.
Smoke bombs were not weapons of mass destruction, so she simply stockpiled them by the box and did not feel bad about using them. However, she did not expect there would be so many people and was worried that she would not be able to kill them all and leave hidden dangers. So she replaced her gun with a crossbow, and aimed at the people who had just climbed up. As soon as they came into contact, the arrows flew directly at them.
Unlike gunshots, which still made some noise even with a silencer, the crossbows penetrated the clothing defenses and pierced into the body, followed by a continuous stream of screams:
“My tummy!”
"ah!"
"Help--"
Then came the figures falling down one after another.
When Qiao Huijun lost sight, he wanted to turn around and run, but he couldn't see anything. As soon as he turned around, he stepped on the wrong stairs and stumbled. Before he could even fall, he was hit by an arrow in the back. The pain was so severe that he cried out in agony: "Ah! Help, help - I am the president of the Tongmenghui, save me!!!"
He had never expected that with such an ambush, Ji Yang could still fight back so calmly. Where did she get these powerful things? !
And I have greatly underestimated her dangerousness.
This woman is dangerous not only because she has a gun in her hand, but she herself is dangerous enough!
I regret it.
But it's of no avail.
After being injured, blood lost rapidly and body temperature dropped. He was already injured. If he had not coveted Ji Yang's gun and wanted to kill her with his own hands so that he would have a chance to grab the gun, he would definitely not have come. He did not expect that he would be injured in a fatal area without even having anywhere to hide.
At this time, everyone was in a difficult situation, weapons were thrown around, and everyone was thinking about escaping. How could they have the time to save others?
Therefore, not only did no one care about him, but they also stepped on his body one after another, and he was quickly injured to the point where he was only left with one breath.
At the same time, the geographical location of the stairwell means that you cannot run around randomly. If you are not careful, you may roll down the stairs, hit your head on the stairs, and faint. Some people may even trip and fall face down on the ground, and then be trampled and hit by the brothers behind them, and faint.
Others heard the noise and realized that they were doomed, so they quickly groped their way to the two households on the 14th and 13th floors to hide: "Help! Open the door, open the door!"
"Let me in!"
However, when I closed my eyes, I could see nothing and had no idea where the door was.
When I finally reached the door, I was hit in the head by an arrow.
*
It was almost a one-sided massacre.
In just less than two minutes, due to the narrow space and the loss of their eyes, they were unable to escape or attack. Ji Yang was even able to change arrows slowly.
Soon, there were countless casualties in the stairwells on the 14th and 13th floors, and the other residents in Building 9 were all trembling with fear after hearing the screams.
So scary!
This is a psychological trauma that can never be healed in a lifetime!
Ji Yang had no expression on his face.
She had seen more horrible scenes than this in her previous life.
Especially since this group of people wanted to kill her.
Ji Yang didn't intend to let anyone go. She chased them from the fourteenth floor to the twelfth floor. Even if someone was unconscious, she would still stab them in the fatal place to make sure they were dead.
After the last person was dealt with, she opened a few windows in the corridor. The cold wind blew through, taking away the thick smoke and pungent smell. Feeling that it was about time, she let Xixi out. However, as soon as she let Xixi out, she started sneezing non-stop.
Ji Yang quickly asked it to go back.
Xixi went upstairs reluctantly.
Ji Yang did not leave immediately, but knocked on the doors of the two households.
The door was closed tightly, and there was no movement. Ji Yang sneered: "If you don't open the door, I will break it down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise inside, someone begging for mercy, someone admitting their mistake.
But the moment the door opened, 1401 a kitchen knife flew towards Ji Yang's face.
She had anticipated this and dodged to the side, opened the door with one hand, and shot directly with the crossbow, hitting the man's heart.
With a "bang", a man fell down.
A couple in the house knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "It's not us, it's not us, it's them who insisted on using my house as a visual point to stake out! Don't blame us!"
"Please let us go!"
Ji Yang ignored them, went in and swept around, confirmed that there was no one else, and came out without doing anything. The frightened couple looked at each other, and finally hugged each other, thankful to have survived again.
They almost thought they would die along with those members of the Alliance.
"Fortunately, fortunately we didn't get involved!"
The woman looked relieved.
This morning, this group of people came to discuss with them immediately after Ji Yang left. They used the excuse that they were timid and refused to do it, but they still had to give the house to them to keep an eye on them.
There is no way, I can only admit defeat if I can’t win.
Fortunately, this girl didn't mean to be implicated.
"Or... let's move?" the man hesitated.
Today was really scary.
There is a corpse at the entrance and a pile of corpses at the door. 1302 has not been selected. He has been staying indoors since this morning. It is even more impossible for him to come out to help deal with the corpses.
The woman shook her head: "No, on the contrary, we can't move out now!"
"The 15th floor killed so many people from the Alliance, so the Alliance will naturally disband. Other floors will definitely not dare to cause trouble here. We are the safest place now."
She analyzed seriously: "If we go to other places, you have inquired about them recently, there are not many good places to go, and we can't afford to go to good places. I think it's better to stay here."
The man was convinced and nodded with gritted teeth: "Okay."
He glanced at the bodies and thought it was a shame to have them piled here. "I'll go take care of them."
The woman also stood up. It had been so long now that they were able to deal with the corpse without changing their expression.
——
On the other side
Ji Yang did go there to clean up the mess.
However, when I went downstairs, I found that Qiao Huijun's house on the eighth floor was empty and the door opposite was closed.
Ji Yang was puzzled and walked straight in. Wow, the place was in a mess and looked like it had been robbed. However, not much was stolen and all the food and clothes were gone.
She looked toward the balcony.
Sure enough, I saw several figures running frantically, carrying large and small bags on their backs, and they probably took away all their belongings.
But at this moment, he was almost at the gate of the community.
The distance is already a bit far and not suitable for shooting.
It's not that it's impossible. It would be easy to do it with a sniper rifle. But she would be too big of a target. The authorities are still controlling these guns and ammunition. If they knew she had a sniper rifle, they would definitely not treat her like this. With an ordinary pistol, they might turn a blind eye because they are too busy to assign people and there is no evidence.
Ji Yang gave up with regret.
It is estimated that Qiao Huijun made preparations for both situations, so that his family would run away directly after realizing that they were no match for the enemy. It can be said that he is worthy of being the one who could come up with the Extreme Cold Alliance. He has a flexible mind.
However, Ji Yang had just seen Qiao Huijun himself among the pile of corpses.
Probably he didn't expect that he would be gone before he could even escape after just one encounter.
Since the culprit was dead, the rest of the people could just run away. Ji Yang turned around and went out. She didn't recognize the other people who ambushed her, so she simply went back. However, before going back, she had to retrieve her arrows.
This thing cannot be produced in a short period of time. Using one less will save as much as possible.
As a result, when she arrived at the 14th floor, she saw the couple on the 14th floor carrying the body and throwing it out of the window. When they saw her coming back, they were shocked for a moment. The woman quickly realized something and said, "Well... I took out all the arrows. Do you still want them?"
"Thank you." Ji Yang said politely and took out two potatoes from his bag and gave them.
It's a reward.
The couple: "..."
Suddenly I felt that this big guy was not so cold-blooded and scary.
*
When we returned to the fifteenth floor, Xixi was already waiting there. She was so bored that she lay on the ground with watery eyes.
"Let's go home!" Ji Yang rubbed its head, opened the door and went into the house. Xixi immediately brought the dog bowl over: "Woof!"
Ji Yang understood and put a pot of meat in it: "Eat it."
Xixi wolfed down the food. Ji Yang also changed her heavy gear and added firewood to the fireplace that was almost extinguished. When she saw the remaining flames burning the wood chips, she stopped and took out her large electric cooker.
We agreed to eat goose stewed in an iron pot, and we can’t go back on our word.
The goose smells so good that Xixi doesn't want to eat the bland meat in her own bowl. She runs to her owner, drooling, and looks at him eagerly, waiting for the moment when her owner will soften his heart.
Ji Yang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and gave it some. She ate the rest herself and also ate half a bowl of rice. Normally, she couldn't finish it all, but the goose soup was so delicious when mixed with rice that she forced herself to eat half a bowl more.
*
In the afternoon, the survivors who went out to search for supplies and exchange points came back one after another.
The ambush on the 14th floor was widely spread. Wailing sounds were heard from the building from time to time, but they soon disappeared. Most people would give in when they saw the wounds on the bodies of their relatives.
Of course, there were also some who refused to admit defeat and ran to the 15th floor to cause trouble.
Ji Yang basically broke their legs and threw them down.
In this situation, if they can survive, they are lucky. If they can't survive, they can only blame themselves for overestimating their own abilities and looking for trouble.
Anyway, Tang Fang, who was the first one to have her legs broken, had already died quietly at home. Her three children also died because they had no adults to take care of them and died of carbon monoxide poisoning when they made a fire to keep warm. Tang Fang's younger brothers and sisters were nowhere to be found.
So two days later, everyone turned into quails.
Those who cannot beat others and hate others so much will eventually choose to move away.
Anyway, there are so many dead people and empty houses now, so you can just find one to live in.
Of course, most people are reluctant to leave. Apart from other things, once they move, all the things in their home will be seen by others and targeted by someone with ulterior motives. That would definitely be more terrifying than living here.
At least the murderer on the 15th floor will not take the initiative to attack others for supplies.
Actually, it’s hard to say, but it is definitely the case at the moment.
This is already a luxury for many people. These days, no place is safe.
So that's fine.
Ji Yang also thought it was pretty good.
After the big kill, the building became much quieter. Even when she was eating hot pot, no one dared to come over. Those who came up to get snow all left in a hurry, and Xixi seldom went to the door.
Three days later, Ji Yang went to the exchange office again.
This time she directly brought 200 kilograms of frozen fruits. She believed in the strength of this group of traders. As long as there were benefits, their efficiency would definitely be high enough. It would not be a problem to get a batch of high-quality jade in three days.
Sure enough, this time when she went there, Luo Laosan immediately sent a new batch of jade artifacts, which were better than the last time. She couldn't wait to throw them into the space halfway.
There is still an extra 600 square meters of land.
Very good, the grass seeds, potatoes and cabbages she sowed two days ago have just sprouted some small tips!
However, considering the popularity of fruits, Ji Yang decided not to grow medicinal herbs on this piece of land and simply grew fruits.
There were several kinds of fruits, including seeds that Ji Yang bought herself and seeds that were left over from eating fruits.
While planting, Ji Yang also went to check on the fruit trees she had planted before. They were growing well. She also found some small green plants on the ground. She thought they were weeds, but when she looked closely, they turned out to be strawberry seedlings.
I guess she used the water for washing fruits to water the fruit trees, and the seeds fell to the ground and grew up like that. It's quite amazing.
Therefore, Ji Yang was very confident about strawberries and planted almost half of them. Frozen strawberries and dried strawberries were delicious anyway.
She didn't go out for the next few days.
Give these dealers more time to collect jade artifacts, she doesn't want to do business at a loss.
I had only been at home for a few days when someone knocked on the door.
Xixi was a little excited, but not very alert.
Ji Yang guessed that it was probably an acquaintance. The only acquaintances in the building were Jiang Jing and Li Yi. She opened the door with confidence, and sure enough, these two people were behind the door.
Um?
Still put together.
——
Jiang Jing was thinner than before, with a pointed chin, but her eyes were brighter and more determined than before: "Miss Ji, this is the jade I found these days, I give it to you."
As she spoke, she handed over an open wooden box. Inside were three jade bracelets, two necklaces, several earrings, rings and other items. At a glance, they were all of very good quality and there were quite a few of them.
In his other hand, he was holding a half-sack of freeze-dried pet food. “This is for your dog. I found it when I searched an office building.”
Ji Yang was surprised and did not move for a moment.
Xixi's ears moved, as if she understood, and her tail wagged happily.
Jiang Jing pushed the two things forward again: "Ms. Ji, take them."
Ji Yang did not refuse again. The knife she gave away was worth a lot of money at that time, so it was no big deal to accept it.
Just when I thought the matter was over, I saw Li Yi also handed over a box and said awkwardly: "I heard from Sister Jiang that she used these to exchange sanitary napkins at your place before. I want to ask if you still have them? Can I exchange them? I also want to exchange them..."
"Sure." Ji Yang really likes to do this kind of effortless transaction. She has stockpiled a lot of sanitary napkins, most of which are from abroad and a small part is from China. It is enough for her to use for several lifetimes.
The extra ones can be exchanged so that they won’t be wasted.
She glanced at the items in Li Yi's hand, roughly estimated their value, and said, "Five packs of sanitary napkins, please?"
"Sure, sure!" Li Yi nodded with a bright smile.
Ji Yang asked her to wait and went back to the house to get five packs of sanitary napkins. Thinking of the last time the Tongmenghui ambushed her and the two old people from the Li family warned her, she thought for a moment and put a large cabbage in the pack.
When Li Yi got the bag, he was surprised by its weight. His hands felt heavy and he was stunned for a moment. Are sanitary napkins so heavy?
Ji Yang: "Last time they ambushed me, your old man warned me, but I haven't had the time to come and thank you. This cabbage is a thank you gift. Please help convey my gratitude."
Li Yi blushed and tried to refuse in a panic. She knew about this, of course, but her grandparents were very honest and thought that Ji Yang was not a bad person, and that it would be safer with her around, so they tried their best to give a reminder. She didn't even know if the other party saw it.
Ji Yang rejected her politeness: "Okay, you guys go back, it's cold outside, I also need to rest."
After saying that, Ji Yang closed the door again. Li Yi had no choice but to accept it. When he went back and told his grandparents about it, they were calm: "Take it. If they can give it to you, it means they don't need it. That girl is not the kind of person who will pretend to be rich. Oh, such a big cabbage, give some ginger. It's not good for the body not to eat vegetables for too long. Children need a more balanced nutrition."
"Okay!" Li Yi nodded, holding the frozen cabbage carefully.
No one could have imagined that one day a cabbage would be treasured like this by them.
Due to environmental factors, the difficulty of vegetable cultivation has reached its peak and the price has skyrocketed. Now a pound of cabbage costs 30 points, while a pound of rice costs 20 points, and a pound of brown rice costs 10 points. In comparison, the cost-effectiveness of cabbage means that the survivors can only buy a pound of cabbage to supplement vitamins when they have enough points.
*
Ji Yang's home
Just closed the door.
When Ji Yang lowered his head, he saw Xixi sniffing the dog food bag.
Seems to detect the freeze-dried taste inside.
Ji Yang also bought some, but most of the time he forgot to feed it. Every meal was a big bowl of meat. How could he use freeze-dried food? But now it seems that puppies also need snacks.
The bag was originally open, with most of the freeze-dried food inside. It was probably left there by someone who fed the dog at work.
Ji Yang smelled it first, then ground it into powder, put it in the space, and caught a chicken for it to eat.
She was worried about things outside.
There were many pet food poisoning incidents before the natural disaster, and people's hearts were even more unpredictable after the disaster. It's not that Jiang Jing did it. Although she can't be said to be extremely accurate in judging people, she is almost right. Jiang Jing is not a bad person, but the things are open. Who knows if someone threw some rat poison or something like that in?
So she put her things away temporarily.
Facing Xixi's accusing gaze, Ji Yang pinched its paw unhappily: "Wait for a while, and if there's no problem, I'll give it to you to eat, okay? Don't eat random things outside, or you'll be gone by accident, and then I'll go get another dog!"
"Ah!" Xixi became even angrier and threw herself into her arms, rubbing her body with dog hair.
Um……
In this weather, dogs can still shed?!
Ji Yang pushed it away with a gloomy face, took out a hair remover to remove the hair on himself, and thought seriously about whether to cut off one piece of its meat or two pieces of meat?
——
Ten days later
Ji Yang finally went out again.
The wind and snow have not stopped during this period, but it has always been light snow, especially at noon, which is the best time of the day to go out.
Ji Yang estimated that after a while, news about the base would appear, and more and more people would choose to move into the base. Most people actually believed that the natural disaster would not last too long, otherwise humans would not be able to survive.
Therefore, at the beginning, most people are reluctant to leave the home where they have worked hard for half their lives.
But in the current situation, the rich will definitely know the news first and may follow the base as soon as possible. If so, they will need a lot of helpers and transportation resources to transfer their large amounts of supplies to the base.
Before that, perhaps those trader could get a large number of high-quality jade articles.
Ji Yang can ask around when he goes there this time.
But when she was halfway there, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
The sky became visibly darker.
The sense of crisis she had experienced from surviving natural disasters for many years made her search for a place to hide nearby. Fortunately, even if she wanted to find a secluded place to take out her snowmobile, she didn't walk too far, so she soon saw an office building.
"Xixi, over here!" Ji Yang pulled the rope.
Xixi noticed it and immediately moved in the direction she was controlling. Then, as if she sensed the danger, she ran even faster.
And in this short period of time, Ji Yang could clearly feel a chill coming, and the temperature seemed to drop a little.
When she was only a few dozen meters away from the building, raindrops fell "pa|pa|pa——" and hit her winter clothes. In an instant, due to the temperature of minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, they quickly condensed into hard ice!
Almost instantly, I felt like my body was carrying several kilograms more weight.
Ji Yang's heart was pounding. Even though it was not the first time she encountered strange and changeable extreme weather, she felt terrified every time. This world was no longer the world she was familiar with.
Otherwise, how could water still be liquid and fall at this temperature?
It was as if it was designed to freeze into ice the moment it hit the ground, trapping all living things inside!
Fortunately, they were already approaching the building at this time, and Xixi's speed had reached its maximum.
There was no one living in the building, so the snow was quite high and directly submerged the bottom floor. When they reached the middle of the second floor, there was a window facing them. When they approached the building, Ji Yang took out a pistol and fired twice at the window.
The window was shattered into a large hole.
Xixi jumped in quickly.
At this moment, Ji Yang jumped off the skateboard and stepped in. The skateboard fell to the ground, and she didn't bother to pick it up. When she came into the room and looked back, the skateboard had been wrapped in a thick layer of ice and merged with the earth. With the continuous falling rain, the ice on the surface became thicker and thicker.
Ji Yang took a deep breath and tapped the ice on his body.
Soon, pieces of broken ice fell to the ground, making a tooth-grinding noise.
She breathed a sigh of relief when the weight disappeared, and quickly knocked the ice off Xixi to rescue it. It was the first time Xixi had encountered such a thing, and she was also scared. After the ice broke, it threw itself directly into her arms, whimpering non-stop.
After all, it's still an immature dog.
Um……
Probably not an adult?
Almost eight months?
Ji Yang looked at the dog who had stood up and was almost as tall as her waist, and thought uncertainly.
"Let's go inside." Ji Yang reminded.
Xixi then reluctantly came out of her arms and followed her, wagging her tail.
After taking just two steps, there was a noise coming from the broken window, and Xixi immediately bared her teeth in vigilance.
Ji Yang nudged Xixi with his foot, asking it to calm down.
The building is so big, she can't occupy it all by herself, so give others some room to survive.
Xixi immediately became obedient.
*
The first to come in was a young man and woman. They didn't make sufficient preparations like Ji Yang and Xixi. They just jumped in and rolled to the ground. The fall shattered the ice that had just formed on their bodies.
After feeling relieved, the two of them immediately got up, glanced at Ji Yang and Xi Xi, and ran to the window and shouted, "Hurry up! Come over here!"
It seems there is more than one person.
Ji Yang didn't want to stay here. She would definitely be stared at by some people if she brought her dog with her. Dog meat had been a favorite of many people before. Now that she was hit by freezing rain, she was in a bad mood and didn't want to make any trouble, so she simply went upstairs.
I took out the snowmobile while there was no one else around. I don’t know how long this strange freezing rain will last, but it will be more convenient to have it when I leave.
This place is not far from Jiafu Community. If everything goes well, it will only take about ten minutes to drive a snowmobile there. As long as you stop for a while on the way, you can go back directly.
As his luck was bad, Ji Yang did not plan to continue going to the exchange point.
Unfortunately, in her previous life, she didn't have a cell phone, didn't have the time to carry a calendar with her, and didn't have the time to keep a diary, so she could only remember the approximate time of almost everything.
Coupled with the possible impact of her rebirth, the weather became increasingly unpredictable.
She had also experienced this freezing rain. She was unlucky enough to encounter it while she was out searching for supplies. Fortunately, she found a place to hide in time and finally survived by relying on the little food she had just found.
But she didn't know exactly when the freezing rain would occur.
I didn’t expect that she had such a close relationship with freezing rain in both of her lives.
The freezing rain in her previous life lasted for about three days. Why did she say about? In order to save food, and since there was no one else around, she ate and slept, and survived these three days with very little food, so she lived in a daze.
So in this life, it will take about three days.
But Ji Yang remembered that the freezing rain would stop for a while, so it would be no problem to go back at this time. The only thing he didn’t know was… could the snowmobile go on the ice?
With this question in mind, Ji Yang brought Xixi to the seventh floor of the building, which happened to be a plush toy company. The building had been cleaned and all kinds of beautiful dolls were scattered everywhere, but there was not a single bit of dust.
The heavy snow brought down all the dust in the air, and not much of it floated into the room.
Ji Yang found a lazy sofa among a pile of toys and lay down comfortably immediately. He also found a 'doghouse' teddy bear for Xixi. Xixi lay down on it cleverly and wagged its tail in comfort.
But after resting for a while, she stood up again.
It is inconvenient to go out. When the temperature is minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, you cannot lie down to rest directly. You have to light a fire to keep warm. Otherwise, you will become numb from the cold after a long time and will freeze to death without realizing it, just like many people who freeze to death in their dreams.
Fortunately, this is a building and there are not too many tables, chairs and benches in the office area. Ji Yang took an axe and chopped a few of them at random, and got a pile of wooden boards.
Then tear off a piece of the stuffed toy as an inducement.
Fortunately, the tile floor here can be used to burn firewood directly.
Otherwise she would have to get an iron basin.
Soon the fire was lit. Ji Yang first took out the food bowl for Xixi and put half a bowl of dog food in it. However, he did not let it eat directly. Instead, he took out a piece of warm meat from the space and stuffed it directly into its mouth.
The door here is made of glass and has been broken. It would be strange if someone downstairs came up and saw the meat.
As for herself, when Xixi was half full and started to eat dog food, Ji Yang took out the self-heating rice from her backpack. The conditions were limited, but she couldn't let herself be too hard on herself, so she picked some mapo tofu, thought about it, and added some corn sausage.
*
downstairs
As soon as they confirmed they were rescued, Feng Yexing and his cousin Yan Cheng guided their teammates to this side.
Everyone was at the end of their rope. If Feng Yexing hadn't been sharp-eyed and noticed a man and a dog disappearing into the building, they wouldn't have been able to tell that this was the place for people to enter. So with this voice guiding them, everyone else ran for their lives.
In less than a minute, a group of people approached.
Feng Yexing's expression of surprise suddenly turned into suspicion: "Where's Xiaoya? Why is she gone?"
"Where's Uncle Zhang?!"
"Speak up!"
However, no one paid any attention to them. They all ran for their lives. When they finally jumped in, they felt that they had survived a disaster. They did not even bother to take off the heavy "ice armor" on their bodies, and tried hard to calm their hearts that were about to jump out of their throats.
So scary!
Who could have known that we would suddenly encounter such strange freezing rain?
Until someone first noticed something was wrong, a timid boy whispered: "Xiao Ya... seems to have fallen and didn't get up..."
"Wuwuwu..." A burst of crying suddenly occurred.
When everyone looked over, they saw Fang Lan crying: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I accidentally fell and dragged Xiaoya down with me. Uncle Zhang was left behind in order to save Xiaoya and me. He must have died now... wuwuwu, I'm sorry... it's all my fault..."
As soon as she cried, the three people in the team became anxious and hurried to comfort her: "It's not your fault, it's just their bad luck!"
"Don't cry. Death is too common in this world, not to mention the weird weather this time. If we weren't lucky, we would have died together by now..."
"Xiao Fang, you don't have to blame yourself for both of their deaths, hey..."
Feng Yexing watched all this quietly, feeling extremely powerless, especially since the girl was not satisfied after being comforted by a group of people. She looked at her and her cousin Yan Cheng with tears in her eyes: "You, you are not talking, are you blaming me?"
Feng Yexing turned his face away and said nothing.
She's not weird, she just has...something she can't explain.
They were survivors in a residential complex. In order to survive, a group of people desperately collected supplies. However, they were often robbed because they were alone. Later, Yan Cheng stepped forward and gathered a building of more than 20 people to go out together.
Finally I can come back safely.
But they risked their lives to look for supplies. Some people in the building were lazy and afraid of death and did not go out, and just focused on stealing other people's things. There was also a troublemaker in one of the teams who frequently made trouble. After a lot of noise, there were only eleven people left out of more than twenty people.
As a result, they encountered this freezing rain today, and watched helplessly as three people who had no time to react were wrapped up by the freezing rain and froze to the spot, unable to move.
The remaining people quickly looked for shelter until Feng Yexing and Yan Cheng found the entrance to the building.
At the critical moment, they were the first to come in, but after just one or two minutes, two people were missing from the team!
There are only six people left.
It just so happened that the deaths of the last two people might be related to Troublemaker. Given her previous actions, Feng Yexing really couldn't believe that she was innocent, but she had no evidence to prove anything.
I just feel a chill in my heart.
Fang Lan had been targeting Xiaoya openly and secretly because of her beauty. Xiaoya was tongue-tied and could not refute. If her family had not been really poor, she would not have been willing to continue to join the team.
Uncle Zhang is Xiaoya's stepfather, but they are no different from biological father and daughter. Fang Lan had tried to get along with Uncle Zhang before, but after being rejected by him, she often made sarcastic remarks about their father-daughter relationship, and the two sides have become enemies.
Feng Yexing didn't believe that Uncle Zhang wanted to save Fang Lan, but Fang Lan said so. She probably had to explain it this way because someone saw her entangled with Uncle Zhang and Xiaoya at the critical moment.
As a result, she couldn't help but speculate about the scene at that time. Perhaps she was the one who killed Xiaoya and Uncle Zhang.
Looking at the other three people surrounding Fang Lan and asking about his well-being, Feng Yexing took a deep breath and went upstairs silently.
She was not a big shot, and she had no ability to force someone to confirm her guess, nor did she have the ability to avenge Xiaoya and Uncle Zhang. All she could do was stay away from this group of people. If she teamed up with them again, she would probably die without knowing how.
Seeing Feng Yexing turn around and leave, Fang Lan's eyes darkened and he immediately looked at Yan Cheng aggrievedly.
Yan Chengku's face became more and more tense, and he said in a deep voice: "I'll go upstairs and find a place to rest first, you guys can do whatever you want."
He hurried to catch up with his sister.
Alas, it was he who suggested that there is strength in numbers, but he did not expect that with more people, there would be more thoughts. If he had known that so many people would die, he would rather go out alone with his sister, even if it was a little more dangerous.
Moreover, before he and his sister, his sister always took the lead and he was responsible for the execution.
Fang Lan stomped his feet in anger and hit an ice cube, almost slipping.
A man nearby supported her.
She shivered with cold and said hurriedly, "Forget it, let's go up first. We all survived the disaster and we can't die here."
"That's right!" The remaining three responded immediately.
Fang Lan took the lead to catch up with Yan Cheng, and Yan Cheng tried to jog to catch up with Feng Yexing. As they walked, they suddenly felt their noses move, "Why is there a smell of food?"
"Is there anyone living here?" someone asked in surprise.
Fang Lan's eyes lit up. Anyone who could still eat at this time must be a rich man. Her tired steps quickened immediately: "Let's go and take a look. After all, we have come to someone else's territory, so we should at least say hello."
"Yes!" the three yes-men said immediately.
Feng Yexing, who was walking in front, was actually the first to smell it, but she didn't react much because she knew that there was a man and a dog before her. The man was able to come out alone and raised the dog so big. He must be a powerful person, and it was normal for him to have a self-heating pot.
Unexpectedly, Fang Lan actually wanted to go up. She hurriedly said, "There was someone else who came in before us. She was the one who broke the window. This place is not hers. There is no need to say hello, and don't disturb others at this time."
Fang Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and he frowned and said, "Alone? Isn't that dangerous? How about asking her to come with us? It's so cold, she needs someone to take care of her, otherwise if the firewood goes out in the middle of the night, she might freeze to death."
Feng Yexing was speechless. What he said made sense. They had once formed a team and encountered a snowstorm. They had to spend the night outside. One of them went out to the toilet and accidentally fell into the snow. He never got up. Later, someone noticed something was wrong and went to look for him. They found that he had been frozen to death and buried in the snow in just a short while.
From then on, even when going to the toilet, everyone went in groups.
The girl could be considered to have saved them. Feng Yexing agreed to this operation and followed her.
The aroma is strongest on the seventh floor.
Without anyone's guidance, Fang Lan was the first to run over. He couldn't see anything through the broken glass door at first glance. When he walked in, he saw a fire in the corner. A man and a dog were eating next to the fire.
It's dog food for dogs, which is okay.
What that person was eating was self-heating rice that tasted like mapo tofu.
After the natural disasters lasted for more than half a year, common home-cooked dishes like Mapo Tofu had become an unattainable dream. Even this version, which was even more unpalatable than pre-prepared dishes, still made the six of them swallow their saliva.
It smells so good!

Fang Lan was the first to come back to her senses, as she had something on her mind. She didn't expect that the first person Feng Yexing mentioned was a girl. This... made things easier. She smiled gently, "Hi, sister, hello. I'm Fang Lan. Thank you for breaking the window just now. We were saved. I wanted to come over to thank you."
Ji Yang naturally noticed someone coming first, but she thought that the person might be looking for a place to rest, but she didn't expect that he would come straight towards her.
Xixi stopped eating the dog food and sat aside, staring at them hungrily.
Ji Yang looked at the people and finally landed his gaze on the woman who was speaking. He said, "So how do you want to thank me? Give me supplies?"
Fang Lan: ???
