Chapter 39 Ruoruo Seeks Help in the Heavy Rain
The forty-eighth day of doomsday.
Qiao Qiao exercises in the morning, and in the afternoon he and Qiao Huizhou watch soap operas stored on their tablet. They are fun to watch even without thinking, and it's just a way to kill time.
They didn't know that the situation downstairs had changed.
Jin Han was standing in the corridor on the eighth floor. Deng San and Jiang Dazhuang were already waiting for him on the boat.
He had his back to the sun, his tall figure seemed like a god. In front of him were five people, three men and two women, all of whom had run out of food and water at home and had to go out to find a way out.
Naturally, there are also people with twisted minds who sincerely want to follow Jin Han and the other two to become the king.
Xia Momo was an exception. The food at home had been taken away by the three brothers. She didn't dare to bet whether they would share the food with her or make some other requests after getting it.
"Let's go now. You need to hand over 70% of the supplies you find to me."
Everyone nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay." Although 70% was a lot, without their ships there would be less than 30%.
At this time, everyone chose to forget that the boat belonged to Yang Mi...
"Eh? Xiao Qiao, have you gained weight?"
Qiao Qiao picked up the calico cat that was lying on her lap and playing happily with Qiao Man. Originally, it disliked the mutant vine, but Qiao Man would pester it to play whenever she had time, and now they have actually become good friends.
Is it really true that you can get everything you want by licking it to the end?
Xiao Qiao is only two years old, still a child. He is usually quite heavy, 5 kilograms, and his body feels plump and very good to the touch.
Ever since the cat food for mutant animals was drawn, it has been eating this kind. Qiao Qiao hopes that it can mutate successfully so that its lifespan can be extended.
I went out to rescue cats every day recently and inevitably neglected the situation at home. Today when I was completely free, I found that Xiao Qiao had grown a lot bigger, almost twice as big as before.
When she weighed him, she found he was 9 kg. No wonder she felt tired from holding him, but luckily she ate a Dali fruit.
"Meow!" Xiao Qiao raised his head proudly.
Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou also came over, "He has really grown a lot, has he mutated?"
Qiao Qiao carefully checked it from head to ears to feet, belly and tail, until Xiao Qiao's patience ran out, bit her finger to touch her teeth, flicked her tail, and ran away before stopping.
"It hasn't turned into a mutant animal yet, but it should be soon."
At night, a group of people stood at the door waiting for Jin Han to come back. After yesterday's situation, no one dared to join in even if they wanted to, but everyone wanted to see what was going on.
If everyone who went there today returns safely and brings some supplies...
Soon, a small boat gradually approached from a distance.
Jin Han and the other two were sitting leisurely while the two men were rowing with all their might. Although they were sweating profusely, everyone's face was filled with joy. There were four cardboard boxes piled on the boat.
The people in the corridor opened their mouths wide, "There are so many!" They didn't expect Jin Han and his team to bring back so many supplies.
Jin Han stood at the bow with a smug smile on his face. He knew that these people had been convinced by him and from now on, this building belonged to him.
He deliberately said loudly to the people on the boat: "We have a great harvest today, because we all discovered the things together. According to the agreement, after handing over 70% of the supplies, you can freely distribute the rest."
People immediately got busy, moving the supplies ashore one by one and dividing them into two piles according to Jin Han's request.
There were 24 bottles of water in two boxes. Jin Han and his two companions took 17 bottles, and the remaining five took 7 bottles. There were 144 bags of bread in a box. Jin Han and his two companions took 10 bags, and the other five took 44 bags.
Deng San and Jiang Dazhuang moved the extra supplies away, and the others began to distribute the remaining supplies.
"I want water!"
"I want bread!"
"Why should you take the water? One bottle of water should be worth two small loaves of bread. Bring the bread over."
"no!"
There was a mismatch between supplies and numbers, and friction occurred.
Even so, people around me still look at me with envy. With these things, if you use them sparingly, you can last a week.
"Brother Jin, are you guys going out tomorrow? Can you take me with you?"
"Yeah, Jin, can you take me one tomorrow?"
"Brother Jin, I want to go too."
Xia Momo stood at the edge of the crowd. Her share of supplies had already been packed into her backpack and was now held in her arms.
Her eyes were fixed on Jin Han, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She hated him, but at the same time she couldn't leave him. Moreover, in these people's hearts, his status was almost like a savior.
Later, Jin Han's gang grew larger and larger, and even people from other buildings in the community came to him for help.
There were also women who took the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of the three men, and naturally no one refused. Deng San even accepted two girls who were sent by their fathers, and no one asked them if they were willing.
Qiao Qiao is very happy at home. She watches TV series after exercising every day. Fortunately, she has prepared enough power banks and electronic products.
The soundproofing facilities at home are very good. Even if the generator is used inside the house, it cannot be heard outside. However, in order to save diesel, it is only used once every three days to fully charge the home appliances before being put away.
Meals are usually either from camping gas cans or previously prepared food stored in the system backpack.
The weather has been drizzling and cloudy, and the solar panels are almost just for show, generating only a few kilowatt-hours of electricity a day.
In short, the living standard has not decreased but increased. After all, there is no need to study, work or work overtime.
On the fifty-first day of the apocalypse, the cherry tomatoes in the small flowerpot had ripened and produced 30 fruits. They tasted several times better than those sold outside.
Qiao Huizhou accumulated ten consecutive draws and drew an R-level card.
[Congratulations on winning the N-level card roast duck set meal*1]
[Congratulations on getting N-level card smoked chicken*1]
[Congratulations on getting the N-level card Egg Yolk and Pork Floss Flavored Green Rice Balls*4]
…
[Congratulations on winning the R-level solar heating lamp (special for greenhouse plants, available for 20 square meters)*1]
I was worried that the planter in the sunroom would have to stop working after the extreme cold came, but now I can rest assured.
On the fifty-second day of the apocalypse, Qiao Qiao and Qiao Xinghe both accumulated ten card draws at the same time.
Qiao Qiao's luck was average this time, as all ten cards were N-level cards.
[Congratulations on getting the N-level card cat teaser *1]
【Congratulations on winning N-level guitar*1】
[Congratulations on getting N-level card solid wood storage box*1]
…
Qiao Xinghe's luck turned and he drew an R-rated card.
[Congratulations on winning the R-level card Super Thermos Bottle*1]
[Super Thermos Pot: It can keep things hot or cold. No matter how long you put it in, it will stay at the original temperature~]
Although the thermos is of little use to them, who would complain about having too many good things?
On the fifty-sixth day of the apocalypse, in the evening, Qiao Qiao sat on the bay window of his bedroom and used a telescope to observe the situation outside.
Almost all families have run out of food recently. Previously, people could expect federal aid, but now there is no sign of it. With nothing left to lose, they have no choice but to go out and look for supplies.
Not every family has a boat, but human wisdom is endless. Some people use empty mineral water bottles to make a simple boat, some use quilts and plastic wrap to make a boat, and some use bed boards to make a wooden boat...
Every time I see her, I am surprised that there are so many methods.
I accidentally saw an SOS distress signal written in red pen or lipstick on the 14th floor window of the building opposite, and a girl opened the window and shouted for help.
"Help! Someone save me!"
Qiao Qiao looked carefully, it was Wang Ruoruo!
What happened to her? What happened? Was it a break-in?
Do you want to save?
If she wasn't rescued, what would happen if a pretty young woman was caught by a burglar? Even if nothing happened, she wouldn't be able to survive if her supplies were stolen.
What's more, the two of them had been together for three years in high school. Although they were not good friends who could talk about anything, they were still pretty good and could even chat about gossip occasionally.
What to do if she wants to rescue him? The distance between the two buildings is not close, and there are people everywhere outside. It is impossible for her to walk up the stairs or row over.
I can't save everyone I know. Qiao Qiao took out a coin and said, "Leave your fate to God. Heads means you will be saved, tails means you won't be saved."
Just as she was about to throw the coin, she remembered a sentence she had read before, "The moment you toss the coin, you already know the answer."
"Fuck!" Qiao Qiao cursed inwardly, put away the coins, and took out the rock climbing flying tiger claws and gesture ascender that he had found in Yang Yi's shop before.
The distance between the two buildings was 23 meters, so she directly found a 30-meter rope and tied it firmly to the Flying Tiger Claw.
Find a 20-liter bucket from the system backpack, put a few 20kg dumbbells on it, and tie one end of the rope to the bucket after making sure it is heavy enough.
"Manman, you stay in the bedroom and watch the rope. Make sure it doesn't get loose. I'm going to the opposite floor to rescue someone. Got it?"
To be on the safe side, Qiao Qiao called the mutant vine over and gave it some instructions.
Qiao Man nodded, her body grew to half a meter in length, and she coiled around the bucket rope like a snake.
"Thank you for your hard work, darling."
Qiao Qiao picked up the other end of the bound Flying Tiger Claw and threw it towards the balcony of Wang Ruoruo's house.
“Swoosh—plop.”
The force was not enough and the rope fell into the water halfway through its flight.
It was really troublesome. She tied another stone and threw it over again.
“Swoosh—plop.”
Almost there again.
"Swoosh-bang-thump."
…
Ahhhhhhhhh!
This time I did hit the balcony, but unfortunately it was still a little short and I sprained my shoulder.
"Forget it." Qiao Qiao rubbed his shoulders in frustration.
"Gurgle."
As the sun sets, shadows lengthen in the sunlight.
Feeling Qiao Qiao's irritability and anxiety, Qiao Yueying rolled over a few times. Although she didn't get her order, she still stood up, and the shapeless shadow simulated a slender hand to hold Qiao Qiao.
"Moon Shadow?"
Qiao Qiao was startled. The hand that was tightly holding her was just a shape, still the black color of the shadow, and felt cool and smooth, somewhat like the feel of jade.
Although the grip was tight, it didn't feel uncomfortable.
Is it because it is my own shadow? I feel that everything I do is in line with my heart.
When he was sleeping in in the morning, he would take away Little Joe who wanted to jump on him;
When He wanted to eat a pomegranate but was too lazy to peel the seeds, He would devour the whole pomegranate and leave the seeds alone in an empty bowl;
When I was crying so hard while watching BE TV series and couldn't catch my breath, he would hand me a tissue and silently hold me in his arms to comfort me, even though he was just a black shadow.
In short, He is like another Jojo, perfectly understanding all her thoughts.
Shadow took her hand and threw the rope.
Qiao Qiao didn't feel any effort, as if he was just waving his hand casually.
“Swoosh—pop.”
The Flying Tiger Claw is firmly fixed on the balcony.
