The four people went back and forth four times before they moved all the things back. Yuan Chongming knocked on Lianyi's door immediately.
"You're back? Is everything going well?"
"It went smoothly. We had a good harvest today."
Yuan Chongming had a smile on his face, then he carried a bag of things and placed it in Lianyi's living room.
"What's this?"
Lianyi saw the frozen blood.
"pork."
"You guys are lucky. Where did you find the pork?"
Ripple asked in surprise.
"We were really lucky. We found a pig farm in the suburbs. The location was high and not flooded. The pigs were kept in a room with feed and survived on the feed. However, due to the extremely cold weather, they were frozen solid. It was a good thing for us, but it was a bit troublesome to deal with them."
Yuan Chongming explained.
"How much did you get?"
"We got ten of them."
"Anything else?"
"If you want us to go back tomorrow and get the rest."
"Just give me one, I'll continue to look after the kids tomorrow. But seeing what you've gained today, I think someone will come looking for you, so you have to think of a way to deal with it."
Ripple reminded with a smile.
"The people who stay here are still able to maintain their moral bottom line. I don't mind taking them out to find food. What they can find and how much they can bring back depends on their own abilities."
Yuan Chongming is not a saint. He has children to take care of, and he will consider his children first before doing anything.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."
“These are processed pork, you can cook and eat them directly.”
Yuan Chongming added another sentence.
"Thank you very much."
Jiayao, who was standing by, had been waiting anxiously. After seeing his uncle and sister Lianyi finish their conversation, he hugged Xuanfeng and asked Lianyi:
"Sister, can I pick up Tornado to play at my house today?"
"Okay, but you have to send it back at night. It's a cat that wants to come back to eat cat food."
Lianyi smiled and said that children naturally like small animals, and Xuanfeng is smart, so the man and the cat get along very well.
"no problem!"
"Meow!"
The man and the cat responded at the same time.
Sure enough, before the sun set, Guo Haiyang on the 11th floor knocked on Yuan Chongming's door again.
"Excuse me for disturbing you!"
"What's the matter?"
"I am the representative elected by the survivors. I want to go out with you to find food tomorrow. The weather is too cold and the food consumption is high. It's okay for adults, but children can't stand it. You see."
Guo Haiyang said while rubbing his hands.
"Okay, we'll leave at 8 a.m. tomorrow. The place we're going to is quite far away, so you should get ready in advance. I'll leave at the appointed time. It's up to you to find out what you can. And I'll remind everyone who's going there tomorrow that I'm not your bodyguard."
Yuan Chongming said coldly.
"I understand! I understand! Thank you on behalf of everyone!"
Guo Haiyang thanked him with a smile, then went downstairs to inform the survivors.
The people on the fifteenth floor had guns, were very skilled, and were not saints. The fact that they were able to knock on the door and wake them up on the day when the temperature suddenly dropped was already giving them a chance to survive.
They also knew their own limitations. If they were not extremely hungry, they would not have dared to come and ask for a lift. After all, except for two elderly people in their building who did not make it, everyone else was alive. Other buildings in the community were not so lucky.
The next day, the group grew a lot. Lianyi watched the crowd leave and continued reading, while teaching Jiayao the first grade courses. Xuanfeng also came to join in the fun, squatting next to Jiayao and listening very attentively.
When Lianyi came back in the evening, he found that the team had lost some members and most of them did not look very good.
When Lianyi sent Jiayao back, she asked:
"Are you in trouble today?"
"Yes, someone also set their sights on that pig farm and wanted to steal our harvest. It was Li Qian who frightened them by firing a gun. A few people did not listen to the advice and did not come after the assembly time. I guess they were caught by that group of people."
"This is not good news. It won't be long before that group of people come knocking on our door."
Ripple said helplessly.
"We'll talk about it later. Let's get the food first."
Because of the pork as the base, everyone ate well these two days and their complexion was noticeably better.
"We don't know how long this weather will last. We can only survive if we have enough food."
Sun Weifeng said.
"So you guys are going out tomorrow?"
"Go out, but I will leave someone behind. I can't let you stay here alone."
Yuan Chongming said immediately.
"Okay, I understand."
After saying a few words, Lianyi carried Xuanfeng back to the house.
"Tornado, do you want to go for a spin?"
Ripple, you asked while touching Tornado's head.
"Meow!"
Xuanfeng shook his head, expressing his attitude of not wanting to go out.
"Although I have fur, it's too cold outside and my paws will freeze."
Tornado licked his paw and then placed it on the back of Ripple's hand.
"Well! Let's say this is our hibernation!"
Lianyi pursed the other person and said with a smile.
"Meow!"
Tornado rubbed Ripple's palm to show that he was the cat.
The next day, Yuan Chongming and Zhao Jia stayed behind, while Li Qian and Sun Weifeng continued to lead the residents of the community out to look for food.
At noon, a few sneaky people sneaked into the Shanshui Huating community, and their target was clearly heading towards the building where Lianyi and his friends were.
Before Lianyi had the chance to show her face, the five people were captured by Yuan Chongming and Zhao Jia. The interrogation was handed over to Zhao Jia. Although she was a woman, her methods were really amazing. It only took her half an hour to get what they wanted to know. Then she came to discuss the matter with a serious face.
"Mingzi, Lianyi, this gang is a bit tricky this time. They were detained in the police station before the disaster. In the end, they captured the surviving police officers. They have a batch of guns, ammunition and controlled knives. They can survive until now because they obeyed the orders of a desperate criminal named Gao Shengli.
Because we fired our guns yesterday, they set their sights on Shanshui Hua Ting and want to occupy it. These few people are here to get information.”
"How many of them are there?"
“More than a hundred people!”
This time it was really beyond their capabilities.
"If that's the case, we need to find outside help. It won't work with just the five of us. We have kids too!"
Ripple said.
"Who to look for? The residents here don't have the guts to face these people."
Zhao Jia looks down on these people.
"The people who came to rescue before."
Yuan Chongming said immediately.
"Yes! And I estimate that some of the people who left before will come back."
"I'll go find someone tomorrow."
Yuan Chongming said.
"Okay, but when you get there don't tell them there are evil forces. Tell them you found a granary and came to report it."
Lianyi immediately gave advice.
"Is this okay?"
"Of course they will. They will definitely send people. And you are not lying. There are more than a hundred of them. From heavy rain to extreme cold weather, I think they must have enslaved many people and stored a lot of food and drink."
Lianyi analyzed calmly.
"Lianyi is right. Before you come back, I will go find out the other party's location."
When Zhao Jia was interrogating them, the gang had already revealed the location of their lair. (End of this chapter)
