Chapter 742: Give and Take
Lianyi was worried that the window glass would be broken by the debris brought by the strong wind, so she dug out the sealing covers she collected from the supermarket from the space and sealed all the windows in the room overnight. This way, even if the glass was broken, the wind would not be able to blow in.
Fortunately, this is a high-rise building and the glass is all three-layer tempered glass. After she took secondary protection, she was more secure. In the second half of the night, she heard the sound of glass breaking, and after a while she saw someone in the residential complex sending a message for help.
"Fellow villagers, if anyone has a pair of wooden boards, please lend me two so I can block the window!"
"What's going on? I was just awakened!"
"My glass was smashed by the billboard that was blown in by the wind!"
“So unlucky!”
"Everyone be careful and don't sleep too deeply!"
"It's so windy, I can't sleep even if I want to!"
"Persistence is victory!"
"Can anyone lend me a board for emergency!!!"
The group is very lively. The Internet is still there, so these people can still communicate for a while. But when the Internet is disconnected in a month, these people will stop jumping around.
Lianyi kept staring out the window, feeling the power of nature. This reminded her of a man with wind spiritual roots in the world of cultivation who once challenged her. The man was indeed fast and had great destructive power, but unfortunately he was still convulsed by her electric shock. If she ascended successfully, then he would be the next one.
This was a sleepless night for many people. The wind died down after daybreak, but it was still at level 10. No one went to work against the wind, and the entire city was almost at a standstill.
Seeing that the wind had died down, Lianyi made herself a simple breakfast. After eating, she continued reading, took a nap at noon, and started making dumplings, wontons and buns in the afternoon. When she was ready to eat, she could just take them out from the space. It was convenient and nutritious, as it contained meat, vegetables and carbohydrates.
On the other side, Dong Ziqing, holding the pendant, also slept uneasily at night and had a very chaotic dream. He almost forgot everything after waking up. After thinking about it, he decided to wear the pendant around his neck and then called Mu Mianmian.
"Mianmian, how are you?"
"Ziqing, I was so scared last night that I didn't dare to sleep the whole night."
Mu Mianmian said.
"The wind is not blowing today, how about I pick you up? Come and live with me first, I'm always worried about you being alone."
Dong Ziqing said.
He felt that he did not dream about things that would happen in the future, probably because Zhuizi had already recognized Mu Mianmian as his master, so he still wanted to get the other party to his side so that he could prepare in advance if anything happened.
"Thank you, Ziqing, for worrying about me. The house I rented was robbed. The police came and questioned the thief, saying that he was a habitual thief. Luckily I was not at home, otherwise I would be in trouble too.
I was really scared, so I contacted my cousin here, and he drove me to his house yesterday. It's safe now. We have a lot of people here, so you don't have to worry."
Mu Mianmian said with a smile.
"That's good. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
"I see. I dreamed that it would rain intermittently for three months. We will know after we wait and see. You must keep the pendant well!"
Mu Mianmian deliberately lowered her voice and spoke to Dong Ziqing.
"Okay, I got it!"
Dong Ziqing hung up the phone with a frown. After thinking about it, he still didn't give up. While the wind was getting weaker, he borrowed his neighbor's car with a box of cake and drove to the community where Mu Mianmian lived.
This scene happened to be seen by Mu Mianmian who was sealing the window on the twelfth floor. At first she thought she had seen it wrongly as the distance was quite far. But when she saw the other person wearing the orange windbreaker running towards her unit, she was sure.
"Oh! The thief is still ruthless!"
Mu Mianmian whispered, took out her astronomical telescope, and aimed it at the car that Dong Ziqing had just gotten out of. She wanted to confirm it again.
Dong Ziqing took the elevator to the fifth floor and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. Looking at the deformed door handle, he pulled it hard and the door opened. He went in and took a look around, but there was nothing inside. It was obvious that Mu Mianmian had moved all her things away.
He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find anyone, so he had to leave.
The whole process of him rushing out of the unit door and getting into the car was seen by Mu Mianmian, and she disliked him more and more.
If Dong Ziqing knew that she had the space as a life-saving talisman, he would definitely tie her to his side. Fortunately, she was smart and put on a show and left the rented house early. Otherwise, if he came to pick her up in person, she would find it difficult to refuse, otherwise it would arouse his suspicion.
After Dong Ziqing left Mu Mianmian's community, he went directly to the outdoor goods store. If it really rained for three consecutive months, the entire city would definitely be submerged in a vast ocean, so he had to prepare early.
When he passed by supermarkets and small shops, he saw many young people rushing to buy food. There was basically no one in the outdoor goods store at the moment, and only the boss was watching the store. It was already very good to be able to open the store.
"Boss, give me a set of outdoor equipment. My friends and I are going to camp at the beach after the typhoon."
Dong Ziqing said directly after rushing into the store.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get you the goods, it seems like I was right to open the store today."
The boss was obviously an outdoor sports enthusiast with a well-trained body. He started to select equipment skillfully. He just glanced at Dong Ziqing and knew the size he needed.
"Boss, are you still open in such bad weather?"
Dong Ziqing also chatted casually.
"It's been windy these past two days. I'm afraid something might happen to the store, so I'm staying inside. Otherwise, you might not be able to buy anything today!"
"No wonder! I went to several stores, but only yours was open. After all, I'm helping the boss open the store today, so give me a discount price!"
Dong Ziqing climbed up the pole.
"No problem. I'll give you a membership discount of 30% off! I'll also give you the remainder!"
“Thank you, boss!”
Dong Ziqing also took out the credit card he had just applied for and swiped it readily. Then, with the help of his boss, he stuffed the things into the car and returned to his residence. He wanted to stock up some food when the wind died down, so he didn't want to compete with those people now.
When Lianyi was steaming buns at home, Yuan Chongming and Jiayao came knocking on the door. After they entered the room, they sat at the dining table as if they were familiar with the place.
Yuan Chongming pushed a black sealed packaging bag to Lianyi and said:
"This is a windproof suit. You can wear it when you go out."
"Okay, thank you."
Lianyi directly put away the sealed windproof suit, sat opposite the two of them, and looked at little Jiayao.
Jiayao sniffed and remembered what his uncle had said, that if he wanted food, he could trade it. He took out a box of chocolate beans from his pocket and handed it to Lianyi:
"Sister, please have some chocolate beans. They are delicious!"
"Jiayao treated me to chocolate, so I'll treat you to buns, okay?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
"Thank you, sister!"
Jiayao immediately replied happily.
Lianyi brought out the freshly-fried buns and fed herself and the two children, one adult and one child.
"Lianyi, my friend sent me a message telling me that after the strong wind comes the heavy rain, so you'd better store more food."
