Chapter 60 Heavy rain. Disunity
Ouyang greeted everyone else one by one, and finally asked Chu An, "Are you well now?"
Chu An pretended to cough, "Cough... much better."
"It's good that you're well. Otherwise, if you get sick in this kind of weather, there's really nothing we can do." Ouyang sighed and continued, "Hey, I scared everyone today. I didn't expect it to be like this."
Tang Xiao comforted him, "Don't think too much, let's plan for the future. I don't think rescue will arrive for a while, we have to find a way to deal with the people downstairs."
Tang Xiao and Manager Ouyang placed the tables in front of the main entrance, but felt that two tables were not heavy enough.
Manager Ouyang said, "I'll go back and find something."
Tang Xiao looked at everyone and said, "Who has extra tables at home? Let's move them here together. Protecting the 11th floor is everyone's responsibility."
No one spoke. All the rooms on the 11th floor were decorated in a uniform manner, and most of them only had one dining table.
Huo Sisi said, "I have one at home."
"I'll go home and get it. I'm eating alone, so I can just have a bite anywhere." Li Rong said.
Chu An stopped the two people who were about to go back and asked Li Rong to put down one of the tables, find the right angle, and insert it diagonally under the other table.
The table was laid down with its corners against the wall and its legs against the legs of another table, making it very sturdy.
"Chu An, you are so smart. This saves us a lot of trouble." Manager Ouyang couldn't help but praise.
Chu An laughed awkwardly, he really didn't use his brain this time.
In the urban villages, neighbors often pile up discarded items in the corridors, most of which are furniture, which can block the corridors so tightly that they cannot be moved.
There was a big brother on the fourth floor who couldn't stand going up and down the hill every day to go home. He took two tables and set up a formation on the first floor. That's what he did.
The door was blocked for a week at that time. No one could get out normally. You had to crawl.
However, Chu An still reminded: "It's better to put some heavy objects on it to fix it."
Huo Sisi said, "I have a broken freezer at home."
Li Rong, Tang Xiao and Ouyang went together to help.
When she came back, Huo Sisi took a handheld video recorder and said, "I want to record their behavior and expose them. This will also serve as evidence for the future."
Everyone looked at her.
“I’m a reporter,” she explained.
The noisy boyfriend sneered, "Big sister, there are enough reports on the Internet. There are even more serious cases than ours, but they don't seem to have any effect. I advise you not to waste your time and take care of yourself."
Huo Sisi's face turned cold. "Young man, your thoughts are very dangerous. In the early days, humans were able to survive in harsh environments mainly by living in groups and working together. You can't just think about yourself."
Chu An felt that she was implied, but he could not deny what she said. After all, she was the only one who had the space and the golden finger. If others wanted to survive in the apocalypse, they had to unite.
"So what can you do with this broken video recorder?"
"Exposing evil is as important as fighting back against it. We must let everyone know that there are still people fighting and that we can still fight. If we can get through this smoothly, everyone will know that only by fighting can we have hope of living well."
Naonao’s boyfriend didn’t know how to refute and his expression became increasingly worse.
Nao Nao hurriedly said, "Why are you like this? You are so rude. You are bullying us because we are uneducated and not as good at talking as you. We are just kindly reminding you not to do useless work, my great reporter."
She even stretched out the last five words.
"This has nothing to do with whether you are educated or not. I am just saying this. I..."
"Oh, alright, alright." Manager Ouyang hastily tried to smooth things over. "From now on, we are all comrades in the same trench. Please show some understanding for each other."
Yuan Hai also came over with his hands behind his back, "Yes, if there are any problems, let's report them to Manager Ouyang and ask him to help solve them. I suggest that we nominate Manager Ouyang as our representative for the 11th floor now."
Nao Nao said unhappily, "Why are you representing us? Are you going against the people downstairs? When they asked us to come up here, they said we could be exempted from rent, but now we've become the public enemy of the entire building."
Manager Ouyang said, "I originally asked you to live here because I thought that if we had acquaintances living on the 11th floor, it would be safer in the future. I told you this when we first discussed it.
As for the rent reduction, it is incidental. I am not trying to use the rent to attract you. Today's situation happened suddenly, and I will definitely find a way to solve it. "
Naonao pouted, "Anyway, my family is now threatened because of what you said, you have to take responsibility to the end."
Finally, he muttered, "You know who made the entire floor a public enemy."
Yin Tianlin was selling things downstairs with great fanfare, and everyone knew about it. In the end, the things were not sold out, so he moved them all upstairs, and everyone saw it.
Naonao was obviously targeting Li Rong, but she had some self-awareness and didn't dare to confront him openly.
The atmosphere in the corridor became tense again.
All this was within Chu An's expectations. People nowadays like to show off their own personality, don't listen to advice, and don't obey management. If you want to go east, she will go west.
People like Naonao and her husband are still considered good. When she formed the Women's Self-Defense Force in her previous life, there were really 88 constellations and 8888 personalities.
"We need to think about this matter carefully. We can't completely annoy them." Yuan Hai felt that he had room to improve, so he quickly made a suggestion, "I just analyzed it briefly. In fact, giving them some food is not a bad idea."
Huo Sisi firmly objected: "No, we can't encourage this kind of arrogance. Besides, we don't have much food left."
After she said this, no one looked at her, but at Li Rong instead.
Nao Nao whispered, "You don't have it, but someone does."
Li Rong saw that he couldn't keep silent, so he said seriously: "My young master has been feeling unwell these past two days. I'll go ask him later. But I want to make one thing clear to everyone. If the 11th floor is united, then we can fight against the foreign enemies together. If everyone has selfish motives or complaints, I'm not afraid of fighting alone, but don't think about bullying others, you don't have that ability."
After Li Rong finished speaking, no one dared to say anything.
Chu An secretly praised this bodyguard for his intelligence. With his skills, it was no problem for him to deal with three or five people. Fighting alone would only put others at a disadvantage. However, if he wanted to borrow his power, he could not covet his family's supplies.
Yao Jiayu, who had been silent the whole time, said weakly, "How about this? Let's go back and have a rest first, and then we can discuss this after lunch."
Manager Ouyang agreed, "Okay, everyone go back and think about it. Um... you can also ask your young master. We are not trying to bully anyone, we just really have nothing to eat."
No one said anything else, and everyone returned to their respective homes. Chu An continued to contact Gu Ye and Li Qing, but could not reach either of them.
Now she couldn't go out through the fire escape, so she could only climb down from her own window. She opened the window and looked down. It was at least 30 meters away, and she had to climb without letting others see her.
"Pah"
Something was blown by the wind and hit her face, which was very painful.
She covered her face, quickly closed the window and retreated to the living room.
In the afternoon group meeting, Nao Nao and Yuan Hai still advocated to settle the matter peacefully and take the supplies. Huo Sisi firmly disagreed, while Tang Xiao and Yao Jiayu were a little hesitant.
However, Tang Xiao said that if we need to take the supplies, everyone should take them together. We can't just let 1112 go out while the others are silent.
Ouyang @Chu An in the group and asked her to express her opinion.
Chu An was about to speak when Yin Tianlin spoke.
He could distribute some supplies to the people downstairs, but he didn't want to show up, so he asked Manager Ouyang to pass it on on his behalf, and to make it clear to the people downstairs that they should not harass the 11th floor anymore.
Chu An felt that Manager Ouyang typed much faster after hearing the news.
Naonao's family and Yuan Hai no longer complained.
In the end, Yin Tianlin took out 5 bags of 50 kilograms of rice, 5 bags of 50 kilograms of flour, 3 bags of 60 kilograms of potatoes, ten boxes of instant noodles, three boxes of eight-treasure porridge, 80 kilograms of mixed vegetables, three barrels of soybean oil, three boxes of canned meat, two boxes of ham and three large cardboard boxes of snacks and gave them to the people downstairs.
These supplies kept the 11th floor quiet for a week. Manager Ouyang was the only one who handled the entire negotiation process, while Li Rong and Tang Xiao were only responsible for moving the things.
Chu An started his life of cooking during the day and going into the space to clean the warehouse at night.
Gu Ye called her back the next day and said that he had a fever for two days and was so dazed that he didn't hear his phone ringing. He was well now. In order to make Chu An believe it, he even started a video call.
Chu An discovered that there were other people in his house. Gu Ye explained that they were disaster victims arranged by the community. They were three college students studying computer science and all had good personalities.
She hung up the video and sent a WeChat message to Gu Ye, reminding him to be careful, after all, people’s hearts are hidden.
