Chapter 745 Joining the Group
Lian Yi saw the defensive posture of the three people opposite him, and smiled apologetically, saying to them:
"Sorry! I was impatient. I heard from Brother Yuan that you were going out to find food tomorrow, and I wanted to join you, but I saw that Brother Yuan didn't seem very willing. I guess he was worried that I would hold you back, so I wanted to prove to myself that I was capable of protecting myself."
"I see!"
Zhao Jia nodded and looked at Yuan Chongming, who also nodded.
Li Qian turned to look at Yuan Chongming and asked with a smile:
"Mingzi, how good is our sister Lianyi's skills?"
"Very good, she is very strong."
Yuan Chongming told the truth.
"In that case, we will set off before dawn tomorrow. You should get ready in advance."
"Okay, I'll gather on time."
The two parties agreed on a meeting time and then went back to their homes.
Lianyi began to rummage through the supplies in her space, preparing things for tomorrow's trip. In fact, the supplies in her space were enough for her to stay at home until the heavy rain stopped, but she was anxious staying at home and wanted to go out for a walk, so she took the initiative to join Yuan Chongming's team and go out together to look for supplies tomorrow.
"I am doing this to protect my benefactor."
Lianyi found an excuse for herself, and then continued to take out things one by one, making sure they were fully prepared.
Yuan Chongming returned home and shook his hands. Sun Weifeng happened to see this action and asked curiously:
"Mingzi, were you telling the truth just now, or did you say that out of consideration for the little girl's self-esteem?"
"It's true. She said before that she had practiced it, and I thought it was just some kind of anti-wolf technique. But today, after I blocked her punch, I realized how strong she is. And she obviously just wanted to prove her strength, and she didn't try her best at all. That's why I agreed to let her join us. I definitely can't let someone with no ability hold us back."
Yuan Chongming said arrogantly.
"It's okay if you have the ability! Don't just scream when you encounter danger and wait for us to rescue you. It's better not to bring her with you."
"Okay, let's prepare our things for tomorrow's trip and draw lots to decide who will stay behind to look after the house!"
Li Qian was the captain of the three men, and he made the decision directly.
"Okay, let's see who has better luck!"
Four people drew lots, and little Tan Jiayao also participated. As a result, Sun Weifeng unfortunately drew the lot to be left behind. He could only grit his teeth and accept it, saying that he would go out next time and let someone else stay behind.
"Sun Weifeng, according to the result of the draw, your mission to stay behind is also very important. What if those people see us leaving and take the opportunity to destroy our rear area?"
Li Qian said.
"Don't worry, I'll just talk and resolutely obey the arrangements."
The next day, when the sky was still foggy, the four of them paddled out of the Shanshui Huating community in a rubber boat in the drizzle, with countless pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark.
Lian Yi frowned and said to Yuan Chongming:
"Brother Yuan, I think if the rain doesn't stop, those people who moved to the stairwell will definitely cause trouble."
"I saw that the people who blocked our way on our way down were the ones who had sneaked into our fifteenth floor earlier."
Yuan Chongming's expression also looked somewhat solemn.
The other party stopped them and expressed his desire to join their team to go outside to find food, but he refused on the grounds that the rubber boat was too small. Those people were obviously reluctant.
Because of the heavy rain, all residents below the eighth floor were flooded. Some smart ones found an empty house and moved in with their whole family. Those who were slow to react had no place to live and could only move into the corridor. Moreover, there were more and more conflicts. Although the corridor could be used for living, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all in such a small space, and the air smelled really bad.
When they were going downstairs just now, some people's eyes had turned green and they were staring at them. If Zhao Jia hadn't seen two strong men, who looked not easy to mess with, these people would have pounced on Lian Yi if she had come down alone.
Lianyi was wearing a one-piece diving suit that showed off her good figure. She had cut her hair short when it just started raining. Now she was wearing a baseball cap and a black raincoat over the diving suit.
Her backpack contained some sandwiches and mineral water, nothing else, but it looked very bulging. Just now, many people were staring at her backpack.
It was not until the rubber boat paddled out of the Shanshui Huating community that the sight of them gradually disappeared.
"We won't go to the nearby supermarket. When we first entered Saiki City, I saw a gas filling station with gas. Let's try our luck there."
Li Qian spoke loudly to the people on the boat.
"Captain, you are in charge of commanding the direction, and we will take turns rowing."
Zhao Jia also spoke loudly.
"Southwest."
Then the four of them paddled towards their destination. On the way, they saw many submerged buildings and occasionally a corpse floating on the water, which made everyone's expression very solemn.
Lianyi adapted well because what she saw in her original body's memory was more terrifying and darker.
The faint sound of "meow" came into Lianyi's ears through the rain. She wiped the rain off her face, looked around, and found a black thing on a floating chopping board.
"Brother Yuan, look, is that a black cat?"
Lianyi asked Yuan Chongming beside her.
"It seems so."
"Can we row over and take a look?"
"Yes, it's in the direction we're going."
Lianyi paddled the oar in his hand quickly, then turned his wrist, and the deadly thread flew out and wrapped around the board, which slowly floated towards their rubber boat.
"It's really a little black cat. It's a miracle that it can survive until now!"
Zhao Jia sighed, but did not try to rescue the other person. It was a problem as to what to eat and drink after rescuing him, so she did not lend a hand.
Lianyi had no worries and directly carried the shivering black cat onto the boat.
The little black cat's fur was tightly attached to its skin, revealing its skinny body, which was almost skin and bones. No one knew how it had managed to hold on until now.
The little black cat didn't resist at all. It seemed that it could sense that Ripple had no ill will towards it and didn't want to stew it. Even if it wanted to resist, it didn't have the strength and could only let Ripple control it.
Lian Yi said after examining the little black cat:
"There's no serious injury on him, he's just a little thinner. I'll take him home to take care of him, and he can keep me company."
"Do what you can, think about yourself first, don't feed it on an empty stomach."
Li Qian gave a reminder, but he wouldn't say more.
"Don't worry, Brother Li. My landlord is a cat lover and has left some cat food in the room. It can feed the cat."
After Lianyi finished speaking, she stuffed the little black cat into her backpack, leaving only its head exposed.
The four of them worked together and it took them two hours to reach the place Li Qian mentioned.
But there was already a vast ocean here, so there was no air-filling station.
"It should be flooded. We need to dive down."
"I have a wetsuit on and a small oxygen tank, so I can go down."
Yesterday my mother called me and said her son almost hit her. She was very upset and cried for more than an hour. It really affected my mood. I was also very angry. Can you live so selfishly after getting married? The child is five years old, but he is still relying on his parents! I am so angry!
Fengling will try to write two more chapters before ten o'clock. Thank you all for your support and waiting!
