Chapter 34: The Weird Library
The group set off again with a cabin full of supplies. This time they didn't have to worry about food and water. The supplies they found in the office building were enough to last them for a long time.
Lu Hui disappeared and no one dared to ask about him anymore. After all, he almost killed everyone. Reality is so cruel. Even if Qin Muxue didn't kill him, no one else would let him go. A kind heart would not last long in the end times, and everyone knows it.
After seeing Qin Muxue's methods, everyone understood that they should just quietly do their own job and not have any other ideas.
The yacht was still slowly creeping in the flood. Now the yacht couldn't go too fast as all kinds of things were floating in the water and it would hit buildings if it wasn't careful. It could only drive steadily in the water.
Captain Huang, the captain, was standing in the command cabin at this time. The howling cold wind outside made his face hurt. Fortunately, Qu Yanbai sent him a few down jackets, "Captain Huang, put on more clothes to keep warm!"
Chi Ze made a cup of the cat poop coffee he had been craving for, "Captain, drink some coffee to perk up!"
Captain Huang took the coffee without any doubt. Sometimes one does feel very tired, and drinking some coffee can help one stay energetic.
When Captain Huang took the first sip, he thought it tasted pretty good and was about to praise Chi Ze.
Who knew Chi Ze would ask again, "Captain, how does the cat poop coffee taste?"
Captain Huang almost spit out the coffee in his mouth. "What? Coffee made from cat poop? Is this drinkable?"
Chi Ze was sprayed with coffee in his face and explained: "Civet cats only choose the ripest and sweetest coffee beans to eat. After the beans are fermented in the cat's stomach, the coffee produced is better than ordinary coffee, so it is called cat shit coffee."
Captain Huang was traumatized. He was a middle-aged man and could not accept such trendy things. He put down the cup and said, "I can't drink good things. You should make me a cup of tea!"
I happened to have collected a lot of tea bags, so I could only say weakly: "Okay, I'll make you a cup of black tea."
While Chi Ze was making tea, Captain Huang saw a few people standing on a partially exposed building nearby, waving at them excitedly as if they had seen their savior.
Captain Huang frowned. He hadn't seen any survivors for a long time, but that didn't mean he would let them on board. Resources were limited and he couldn't take risks. Besides, there was no order to rescue other survivors in his mission.
The survivors looked like a family. They were shouting loudly and waving at the yacht, hoping that the yacht would stop and save their lives.
Qin Muxue, who was guarding Ding Manman in the cabin, looked at the people outside. Her eyes remained calm and she was not affected at all.
The strong prey on the weak, and she couldn't figure out the other party's background. If there was a bad person, she would be the one who would be in trouble if she saved the ungrateful person, so she chose to turn a blind eye.
She believed that everyone could understand that having more people would mean that each person would get less supplies, not to mention that the other party was a stranger.
So everyone was silent, no one dared to say anything, and no one dared to ask to take them in. Now they were in danger themselves, so how could they have the time to help others? Besides, there were elderly people and children here, and many vulnerable groups.
Captain Huang drove the yacht around the building and headed in another direction.
In the evening, hail suddenly began to fall from the sky and everyone had to run to the nearest place to take shelter, which happened to be near Dajiang University.
The library here was located at a high altitude and was the only one that escaped the disaster in the huge water flow. So Captain Huang decided to find a place that would not be hit by the hail and anchor near the library.
The sound of the yacht attracted many survivors from the library, most of whom were local college students. There were more than a dozen people in total. They looked at the yacht in front of them with surprise, "The rescue team really came to save us!"
Qin Muxue really wanted to tell them that they were not a rescue team. The hail was getting bigger and bigger. If the yacht continued to stay outside, it would become more and more dangerous. Moreover, in the flood at night, there were mutated creatures that attacked humans.
After everyone got ashore, a dozen students saw Captain Huang in uniform in the cabin and looked excited, "Are you here to save us?"
Captain Huang didn't know how to answer, for fear that if he gave them hope, they would be even more disappointed.
When they looked at Qin Muxue and Ding Manman, they were stunned.
Because these two people were their classmates at Xuanwu University, and they were not very good classmates. Some students were even in the same group with Sang Xi, but Sang Xi was now arrested for murder.
Everyone came to Dajiang to do research and exchange ideas, but they didn't expect to be spared from disaster.
Those relatives who stayed in Xuanwu City did not have a good ending. The overwhelming tsunami had completely destroyed Xuanwu City and submerged the school.
After looking at Qin Muxue, the happy expressions on the faces of several people slowly disappeared, "You, you are here too?"
It was them? Qin Muxue had no expression on her face as she helped Ding Manman down the cabin.
Because of the medicine, Manman is now a little weak and has a cough.
When this group of people saw Qin Muxue and Ding Manman, they were a little worried at first, but when they saw their conditions, they felt fearless again.
They are just two classmates who dropped out of school, and they don’t seem to be in good condition. But they are outnumbered and have no need to feel guilty.
A girl named Yu Fangze, who was the leader, first walked diligently to Captain Huang, who looked like the leader, and then warmly welcomed him in. Except for Captain Huang, Chi Ze, Zhang Ziyu and a few others, they ignored everyone else.
"You guys should go inside and rest! It's very windy and hail outside, it's very dangerous."
It seemed as if he had ignored Qin Muxue, Ding Manman and the old, weak and disabled people behind them, including a few elderly people, children, and a man with an injured arm, none of whom looked like powerful characters.
Qin Muxue and Ding Manman looked at each other. They knew what kind of people these classmates were, but they didn't expect them to be so indifferent.
But they didn't know that the actual person speaking here was Qin Muxue, and they were trying to curry favor with the wrong person.
Qin Muxue and her group followed them into the school library and found that there were only a dozen or so students left there, with no one else.
No matter how small Dajiang University is, there shouldn't be only a dozen survivors.
Yu Fangze explained to Captain Huang, "Everywhere else has been flooded. Only the library is relatively safe now. It's relatively large and spacious. You can find a place to rest first."
She had a flattering smile on her face. "Our school has a biogas power generation system, right below the library, so we still have electricity here, but the energy is limited, so we can only use it sparingly."
The library was brightly lit. Air conditioning consumes a lot of electricity, so it was not turned on and the temperature inside was not much better than outside.
After seeing Qin Muxue, Yu Fangze said contemptuously: "Hey, you're still alive? It's really not easy."
Qin Muxue sneered: "It's even harder for you to be alive, after all, you are so spoiled."
"You." Yu Fangze was annoyed and thought to herself: I'll let you talk back now, and then I'll see how she's going to deal with her.
Looking at the books that had been gnawed in the corner, I realized that this group of people were actually eating the books in such an extremely hungry environment. I felt that I lived a much more comfortable life than them. At least I had never missed three meals a day and was full every time.
But since they have been starving for so long, how come they don’t look thin and weak, and even look plump and smooth.
One of the college students saw the baby on Qian Xinran's back and actually stared at Qian Yan with a straight and greedy look, as if he was looking at a delicacy.
Qian Xinran took a few steps back and hid behind the crowd. There was a dangerous atmosphere here and she was a little scared.
In addition to Yu Fangze, a boy suddenly walked out from the depths of the library, stretching lazily. He looked at the group of people in front of him lazily, and said indifferently, "What are you making so much noise for? You're disturbing my rest."
Qin Muxue also knew this man, he was Yu Fangze’s boyfriend Yan Tianlu.
When Yu Fangze saw him, she immediately went up to him and said, "Baby, you're awake. I'm sorry to disturb your sleep. Look, there's a new person here today." She leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Yan Tianlu looked at Qin Muxue twice more, showing an interested expression, and licked his tongue at her.
This made Qin Muxue feel sick, and she wanted to see what tricks these people were going to come up with.
When the dozen or so students saw Yan Tianlu, their expressions became somewhat unnatural. They seemed a little frightened and stood timidly by the side.
Yan Tianlu looked at the three strong men with guns in front, then looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the back, and even a mother carrying a baby on her back. He understood in his heart, "Since they are here, let's find a place for them to rest!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a female student immediately started looking for an empty spot for them to rest. "You guys can go to the second floor. There are a lot of empty spots there. You can rest there."
The female student led them upstairs and whispered behind them: "You better leave here quickly! It's very dangerous here."
Captain Huang was about to continue asking something when he found that the student had been called away by Yu Fangze.
Yu Fangze whispered in the female student's ear: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be the one in trouble next."
The female student stopped talking and ran away in embarrassment.
Qin Muxue and the others were about to follow the three of them upstairs, but were stopped by Yu Fangze, "Qin Muxue and Ding Manman, you don't have to go up. You will live on the first floor, and the seats at the door are reserved for you."
Did she mean to let them live at the gate? The hail outside was so big, and it was windy and rainy. Wasn't this purely targeting them?
When Captain Huang heard Yu Fangze say this, he stopped and did not go upstairs. Instead, he walked beside Qin Muxue and said, "If Xiao Qin and the others don't go, our position at the gate is enough."
Yan Tianlu winked, and Yu Fangze immediately said, "Well, Qin Muxue, you guys can also go to the second floor to rest."
Qin Muxue watched their every move and realized that it seemed that all of them only obeyed Yan Tianlu's orders.
Under the resistance of Captain Huang, they all came to the second floor. The space here was spacious but also in a mess. In order to keep warm, this group of college students used the bookshelves and books to make fire for heating.
After Qin Muxue settled Ding Manman and the others, she slowly walked to Captain Huang and whispered, "There's something wrong with these people."
"The female classmate just whispered to me that this place is very dangerous and asked us to leave here quickly."
Captain Huang pointed at the girl in the corner. Qin Muxue took a look and saw that the girl's name was Xie Lulu. She was not familiar with her, but she had never bullied them.
Captain Huang also felt it. “Why are these kids so weird? There are only a dozen survivors, and they look timid. Only the leading boy and girl seem to be their leaders.”
"One of them is Yan Tianlu and the other is Yu Fangze. They are both my classmates in college."
"They are all your classmates, which is even more incomprehensible. I can feel that they are targeting you." Captain Huang has always been sensitive.
He felt right. Their relationship used to be hostile and they often had conflicts, but they didn't expect that the current Qin Muxue was no longer the same Qin Muxue and was not so easy to bully.
In the office on the first floor, Yan Tianlu bit his fingernails with a smug look on his face, "It's equipment that's delivered to my door, it would be a waste if I don't take it."
Yu Fangze was a little dissatisfied, "Tianlu, did you look at Qin Muxue twice more just now?"
When she first saw Qin Muxue, she was also a little surprised. Before she dropped out of school, she was a "Shamatte" girl, but now she is clean and without makeup, which makes her look very eye-catching. Although her face is pale, her beauty cannot be ignored.
"If I look at someone else a few more times, will you hold me accountable? Don't forget who you are because of. You can walk around here like that now. Everyone listens to your orders because I'm behind you. If I don't protect you, you're useless! Do you have to care about which woman I want or which woman I look at a few more times?"
Yan Tianlu had been dissatisfied with her for a long time and had been restraining himself all day long. When they were in school, he had always tolerated her. Now that the order was in chaos, she still wanted to control him. She was really like a tyrant.
Yu Fangze was also a person who knew how to read people's expressions. She immediately changed her expression and said, "Tianlu, no matter what kind of woman you like, I will help you plan it. Please don't be mean to me. You know that I love you the most, and you love me the most, right!"
Yan Tianlu liked to see Yu Fangze's lackey-like appearance the most. Yu Fangze massaged him while saying nice things to him, "You are so powerful, so naturally we all have to depend on you. You can have any woman here you want. Look, didn't I let Xie Lulu have sex with me? You know I love you the most and understand you the best."
"That's sensible." Yan Tianlu nodded with satisfaction.
Yu Fangze felt sick. In order to survive, Yan Tianlu had lost all his moral bottom line. The thought of sharing a man with other women made her feel sick and vomit. She cursed him in her heart, but on the surface she had to put on a smile to please him.
Yu Fangze said: "Tianlu, I saw that the yacht they drove over was very luxurious. If we can get the key to the yacht, we can leave this damn place!"
"Yeah, I thought so too, and I also saw the gun on Captain Huang."
A determined smile flashed in his eyes, and he made a killing gesture, "Kill them, take away the keys and guns, don't leave any behind!"
