Chapter 59 Heavy Rain. Retreat
She was awakened by banging on the door. She turned over and pulled the quilt over her head, followed by another woman's scream.
She sat up angrily and shivered. The temperature had dropped again. She looked at the thermometer and it was already 15 degrees.
He rubbed his face and took ten seconds to get up and get dressed. Then he washed his face, brushed his teeth, cooked and ate, accompanied by increasingly intense knocks on the door and loud shouts.
While eating and browsing on his phone, Manager Ouyang created a new WeChat group for the 11th floor. There were 12 people in the group. Yin Tianlin and his bodyguards were all there, and everyone had changed their names to room numbers and names.
Without 1102 and 1106, these two rooms must belong to Chen Xun, one for living and one for making friends. Later, she also asked Chen Xun about this matter, and he thought the same thing as she did.
Chu An changed the note to 1111 Chu An, and then looked at the chat history. The group was created at five o'clock this morning, and there were already more than a hundred messages.
The ones who spoke the most were 1101 Manager Ouyang, 1105 Nao Nao, 1107 Tang Xiao, followed by 1109 Luoyang and 1110 Huo Sisi. The others just expressed their attitude and followed Manager Ouyang's arrangements, only Yin Tianlin didn't say a word, Ouyang even @ed him once, and the bodyguard Da Lizi replied that he hadn't woken up yet.
The topic of discussion is whether to give up supplies to appease the people or to fight to the end.
Chu An could tell from the words that most people wanted to give up supplies to appease the people, and only Huo Sisi disagreed. Although Tang Xiao and Luoyang preferred Huo Sisi, they were also hesitant.
Chu An understood the mentality of these people. They didn’t know that disasters would come one after another. They thought that the difficulties would pass soon and they would avoid conflicts if possible.
They felt that it was not yet time to kill for a bite of food.
Now that everyone can still access the Internet, riots have already broken out in many places, and people have even died.
There was a loud "bang" and the door to the emergency passage must have been knocked open.
Then there was a sound of banging on doors in every house, and this time we couldn't go out.
Chu An had a double-layer security door and was not worried that they would break in.
A message popped up in the group: 1103 Yuan Hai, "Manager Ouyang, will they break in? My boss has a weak heart and can't stand being scared like this."
Tang Xiao said, "Uncle Yuan, as long as you don't open the door, everything will be fine. They won't dare to mess around."
Huo Sisi, "I really want to go out and fight them."
Manager Ouyang, "Everyone, lock the door and don't go out. We will try to solve this problem, but judging from the severity of the situation, it cannot be solved in one or two days. But we on the eleventh floor still have to stick together."
1104Yao Jiayu, "Why don't we call the police?"
Nao Nao's boyfriend, "Call the police? Look at the situation outside, how can they get here? Even if they have a boat, they will go to deal with the Cathay Pacific community first."
Isn’t Guotai the neighborhood where Gu Ye lives? Chu An asked, “What happened to Guotai?”
Making trouble for her boyfriend, "Killing people and stealing supplies."
Chu An was a little worried when he saw that no one in the group had reported safety to each other for two days. He hurriedly called Gu Ye, but no one answered. He called again, but still no one answered.
She asked again in the group, "What number does the deceased live in?"
Nao Nao's boyfriend, "Do you know someone? He seems to live in Building 2, Unit 2, but I don't know what year he is, and my friend doesn't know which building he lives in either."
Chu An, "Can you help me ask your friend again, or give me your friend's phone number?"
Nao Nao, "Oh, little sister, no one can go out now. Even if you ask her, she doesn't know."
Chu An thought about it and realized that this was the truth. She was a little confused just now. She called Zhuona and it rang five times before she picked up the phone. "Zhuona, did you contact Gu Ye yesterday?"
Zhuona, "No, cough cough...what's wrong...cough cough cough..."
Chu An frowned, "Are you sick?"
Zhuona swallowed hard, "No, I was eating a biscuit and choked."
Zhuona's mother worked in the neighborhood committee before she retired. The neighbors all knew her hard-working personality, so no one dared to mess with her family.
In addition, Zhuo's mother likes to stock up on things, so the two of them don't have to worry about food and drink. Zhuona said that her mother found ten kilograms of oil tea noodles and two large bags of soda crackers yesterday.
Zhuona asked her if she wanted some, but she was troubled again when she thought of the stagnant water outside. Chuan hurriedly comforted her and told her to take care of herself and Zhuona's mother, and she also had food.
The knocking on the door outside lasted for half an hour and then stopped. I guess everyone was hungry and didn't have much energy.
She looked out through the peephole and all she could see was a bald head hovering at the door of their house.
However, judging from the cursing, there should be three or four people in the corridor, including 906.
The bald man slammed Chu An's door and said, "Fuck, let's go back today. He can't run away anyway."
906 came over and said, "Brother Hao, go to my place and get a lot of food from that damn girl."
The two men left arm in arm, and then two more men passed by her door, one with a big belly and the other with a short beard.
Chu An sighed, wondering which family had been harmed.
The corridor returned to silence. She opened the inner door and the ventilation window, and looked around with the help of a small mirror to make sure that everyone had left.
The first person to open the door was Yin Tianlin's bodyguard Li Rong. He opened it a crack and then saw Chu An.
"Everyone has left." Chu An said.
Li Rong nodded, rushed out quickly with a mop stick, and propped up the broken emergency passage door with the mop stick.
Tang Xiao and Manager Ouyang opened the door almost at the same time. Tang Xiao brought out the dining table from home and said to Ouyang, "Brother, come and give me a hand."
Chu An didn't expect Tang Xiao to be so quick to act.
Manager Ouyang looked at the dining table and suddenly realized, "I'll move mine here as well."
Tang smiled and said, "Let's carry this first, and I'll help you move it later."
Then Huo Sisi also came out. When she passed by Chu An's door, she asked her if she was scared.
Chu An shook his head, opened the plastic steel door and walked out, following Huo Sisi.
The doors of other residents were also opened.
An elderly couple walked out from 1103. They should be the retired Yuan Hai and his wife who has heart disease.
Yuan Hai retired from a leadership position in a state-owned enterprise. He has the habit of walking with his hands behind his back, speaking in a pretentious tone, and loves to criticize others. The old men in the building don't like to hang out with him.
His wife is an elementary school teacher. Before she got sick, she was arrogant and serious. After she got sick, she became more open-minded and rarely went out of the house.
Room 1104 is occupied by Yao Jiayu, who just graduated from a normal university and works as a temporary translator in a private company.
1105 A young couple came out, they should be the Naonao family. Chu An looked carefully and found that they were the couple who wanted to eat spicy crayfish.
1109, also Chu An’s neighbor, is a high school Chinese teacher with very little presence. Like Koi, he has very high eyesight and is basically half blind without his glasses.
