Just as the old Taoist handed the last item on the kayak to Nan Ci, heavy rain began to pour down.
The old Taoist priest and Zhou Ziyang were still in the kayak and had not gotten out yet. The heavy rain instantly soaked them like drowned rats.
Although they knew it was going to rain, they didn't expect it to rain so suddenly and so heavily. The two were a little confused.
But now is not the time to be in a daze, the two of them immediately climbed up to the platform and cooperated to pull the kayak up.
I wasn't busy for a long time, but I was tense the whole time. Now that I can finally relax, I'm completely exhausted.
The old Taoist priest casually wiped the rain off his face, lifted up his robe and sat on the kayak. Zhou Ziyang and Mu Qianqian were not much better.
Nan Ci still stood there, glanced at the rain outside that blocked his view, and quickly looked away.
This was something she had known for a long time, there was nothing surprising about it, and nothing to see.
Nan Ci knew the result already, so he remained calm, but the faces of those standing on the stairs changed.
They originally thought that the heavy rain had finally stopped and they would finally be rescued, and they would be able to live a normal life after the water receded.
But now, looking at the continuous rain, they realized that all this was just their beautiful imagination.
After a long while, an uncertain voice sounded, "Why do I feel that the rain is heavier than before? Will it stop? Will rescuers come to bring us food?"
No one answered him, and as he spoke, he was completely immersed in his own thoughts.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have followed those people living in the corridor. If I had followed the official people, I would have had some food.
If the officials stop coming, what can we do with the little relief food they send? Are we really going to starve to death?"
"No! I haven't lived enough! I don't want to die!"
Someone shouted and rushed towards Nan Ci and the others, "You have so many supplies, give me some, so I don't have to die!"
He looked a little crazy, staring at the supplies on the ground and reaching out to grab them.
Seeing him like this, Nan Ci didn't hesitate at all and kicked him out when he was about to touch the supplies.
After being kicked out, the man sobered up a little and looked up at Nan Ci, "It's okay if you don't give me the supplies, just lend me your kayak. I want to find someone official, I don't want to stay here!"
Nan Ci looked at the mad man calmly, "If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself. Don't waste my raft."
It was raining so heavily now and the wind was gradually getting stronger. Even though this was not the sea surface, it was not calm at all.
Going out in a kayak at this time is no different from seeking death.
Nan Ci's words shattered his last bit of fantasy. He sat on the ground in a daze, looking distraught.
At this time, another person squeezed out from the crowd, trotted to Nan Ci, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Miss Nan! Please, give me something to eat. I can go without food, but I still have my little granddaughter! She really can't go hungry anymore."
This is an old lady with white hair. She looks to be in her sixties.
He looked truly miserable, but there was a calculating gleam in his eyes.
Nan Ci believed what she said was true, but that was not a reason to give her supplies.
It wasn't just her and her granddaughter who were starving; most people in the building were starving.
As long as Nan Ci opens the door to providing supplies, he will bring himself endless troubles.
It's not her fault that these people have nothing to eat.
There was an early warning of heavy rain, but they just didn't take it seriously and didn't store supplies. What does it have to do with her?
Nan Ci only glanced at it calmly and then looked away, "No."
It’s not like there’s really nothing to eat.
The official rescue team just came and brought some supplies. How is it possible that there is nothing to eat?
However, seeing that the situation was not right, he relied on his age and looked particularly pitiful to ask for some benefits from Nan Ci.
Nan Ci's ruthless refusal shocked the old lady and made her feel unbelievable.
"Why? You have so much, and my little girl can't eat much. She's only five years old. How can you just watch her die?"
Nan Ci looked at the old lady with interest, "Are you starting to use moral kidnapping now? I'm sorry to disappoint you. I have no morals, so you can't kidnap me.
Your little girl is not my child, nor is she my responsibility, so why would I just stand by and watch her die?"
After that, Nan Ci stopped looking at the old lady and said to the three old Taoist priests, "Pack up your things and go upstairs!"
After being outside for so long, Nan Ci now just wants to go back and take a shower.
The old Taoist priest and his two companions stood up from the kayaks and put the things on the ground into the kayaks. Soon, the two kayaks were filled to the brim.
The old Taoist looked at the group of people and said, “There is another kayak left for you. When the rain stops, you can go out and find food on your own.
Many places were flooded, but there were some buildings above the water, and supplies could still be found. Instead of just asking for help from others, it is better to be self-reliant. "
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he turned to Nan Ci and said, "Shall we just carry it up?"
There are so many things that if I have to carry them with both hands, I don’t know how many times I will have to run back and forth.
We just carried the kayak up there. It was a bit heavy, but at least we didn't have to come down again.
Nan Ci had no objection to this, but with so many people standing by, Nan Ci was worried.
"You all go up now and go home. This kayak will be left here for you. If anyone tries to attack us while we are carrying the kayak, I will chop off his hand. Do you understand?"
Nan Ci looks sweet and well-behaved, but everyone present knows that Nan Ci's temperament has nothing to do with her appearance.
Nan Ci said this, and he really dared to do it.
Although some people were indignant, they did not dare to confront Nan Ci and walked upstairs step by step.
After waiting for a few minutes and hearing the footsteps gradually fade away, the four people started to work in pairs, carrying the kayaks up the hill.
It takes a certain amount of time to get from the 16th floor to the 32nd floor.
Not to mention that they couldn't carry such heavy things quickly, and it took them twice as long.
Fortunately, Nan Ci’s deterrent power was still strong enough, the corridor was empty, and they reached the 32nd floor smoothly.
After placing the kayak in the corridor, the four of them started dividing the things.
Nan Ci packed up her things first, and then took the "shipping fee" given to her by Mu Qianqian and the others.
"I'll take mine." Nan Ci looked at the three people.
Mu Qianqian rummaged through the kayak and found two boxes. She picked them up and was about to hand them to Nan Ci.
