Sun Anni said calmly, "How easy do you think life is in the outside world?"
This made the two families silent, but also curious.
"What's the situation outside?" Ning Ye couldn't help but ask, looking at the guns on Shi Man's waists with some fear, "Are you...official people?"
"Not really." Shi Man said concisely: "As for the situation outside..."
She thought for three seconds and described it: "Bugs that eat human brains, monkeys that enjoy BBQing human flesh, plants that keep people in captivity. Nothing is impossible unless you can imagine it."
Ning Ye looked unconvinced.
The Wang family also stared at Shi Man with strange eyes, thinking she was telling a joke.
Shi Man and the others didn't explain. No matter how much you say to those who have never seen the mutation of animals and plants with their own eyes, it will be useless.
Ning Shuang, on the other hand, looked serious, and it was obvious that she had really taken Shi Man and the others' words to heart.
She suddenly said, "You're new here, so you probably need a local guide, right? My brother and I are very familiar with the area and can be your guides. I can even let you stay in my house."
The conditions offered by Ning Shuang were not enough to impress Shi Man.
However, the other party's clarity and rationality made Shi Man feel that this person should be useful.
They also really need a local who understands the situation.
"What's the exchange?"
Ning Shuang suppressed her excitement: "Fresh water...we need fresh water."
She paused, her voice becoming heavier. "But you might run into some trouble living here."
"The people living in the building opposite are members of the Doomsday Gang. When it gets dark, they'll come to collect the water bill. Once they find out someone's dead, they won't let it go."
"Charging water fees?" Sun Anni and Zhou Feifei both looked a little funny.
It was as if I heard the joke about 'checking the water meter' before the end of the world.
This "water fee" is really an apocalyptic joke.
"It's about collecting fresh water," Wang Meixin explained. "The water supply in the city has been cut off for a long time. If you want to get water, you can only go to the harbor. The water there has turned into salt water. After you bring it back, you have to filter it to make it fresh."
"It's okay if you don't give me fresh water, but I have to give you food. But who has food stored these days?"
Food has always been in short supply, and those who are still alive have to tighten their belts. Before the temperature rose, people in their building could help each other and go out in groups to find supplies, but now... going out means risking their lives.
Shi Man thought thoughtfully: "How many people are there in that so-called Doomsday Gang?"
"Over 200 people," Ning Shuang replied quickly. "They've taken over a nearby supermarket and used it as their base. Some of them are skilled in modifying guns and making explosives. Ordinary people are no match for them. They've taken over our entire area."
She looked at Shi Man with hope: "I know they still have a lot of food and fresh water, enough for the two hundred people to eat for another month."
Shi Man looked at her with a smile.
Zhou Feifei and the others also laughed.
Is she planning to use them as pawns again? Really, she is a very courageous girl who dares to take advantage of the situation. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
