Chapter 19: House Prices Increase Tenfold
What does it mean to break into my room and scratch my people?
I haven't said anything to you for being so shameless as to come and eat for free.
But the girl was very confident, and after hearing what Qiao Lan said, the anger in her eyes grew even stronger.
He staggered to his feet and pointed at Qiao Lan's nose.
"If it weren't for you, I would have been with him last night and wouldn't have come here at all! If we were together, he wouldn't have been sleeping in that shoddy dormitory and got smashed!"
"Oh, is it my fault?"
"Did I force you to come to the dinner party at knifepoint?"
Qiao Lan smiled.
To be honest, if her boyfriend had gone to a theme hotel to sleep with her instead of sleeping in the dormitory last night, they might have died together in the ruins of the hotel.
The small hotel street behind the school is full of shabby privately built buildings for students and couples. It would be a wonder if they could withstand the strong wind.
This girl escaped death in the hotel, but instead of feeling lucky, she blamed others.
But Qiao Lan was too lazy to waste words with her.
Seeing that the girl seemed to be about to rush to the food cart to vent her anger on the food, Qiao Lan picked up an ornament nearby and threw it over.
Boom!
There was another heart-pounding muffled sound.
The exquisite brass swan ornament hit the girl's head hard.
This time it was even more brutal, knocking the girl unconscious and she lay on the ground unable to get up.
Amidst everyone's stunned gazes, Qiao Lan calmly made an internal call.
"Hello, front desk? I have someone collapsed here. Send them to your internal medical room."
So within two minutes, two hotel waiters brought up a stretcher.
"Let her pay for the medical expenses herself after she wakes up."
Qiao Lan told the waiter that if he was worried that she couldn't afford the money, then it was okay not to treat her and just leave it to fate and let her wake up on her own. It was fine if she didn't wake up.
Every time a fool dies in this world, there will be more space for good people.
"……OK."
The waiter didn't know what was going on, but based on the principle that the customer is God, he obeyed the order and carried the person away.
If this happened on a weekday, you might have to call 110 and 120 to see if the police were needed to resolve the dispute and ask the hospital for emergency treatment. After all, the medical room in the hotel can only handle minor illnesses and injuries.
But the wind was blowing outside, the kind that could overturn cars, and neither the police cars nor the ambulance could get on the road.
Save your energy and go to the medical room first.
Several students watching outside the door were stunned.
They all knew Qiao Lan, otherwise they wouldn't have been invited to the dinner.
But I never knew Qiao Lan was so cruel!
At school, she smiles at everyone she sees and is very friendly, isn't she?
"You really don't want to come in and eat something?"
Qiao Lan held the door handle and said politely, but in fact he was preparing to close the door and send the guest away.
"No, no, I'm not hungry yet..."
Several people stammered and didn't dare to say they were hungry.
"Um, Qiao Lan, thank you."
"Thank goodness you asked us to come here last night, otherwise my dormitory would have collapsed, and I might have..."
Someone reacted and quickly expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome. Goodbye."
Qiao Lan closed the door without any mercy.
As I said, she doesn't care whether these people thank her or resent her.
She had saved their lives, so she didn't care whether they were lucky or not in the future.
A dinner party last night was her farewell to the civilized and orderly world.
Let’s treat everyone to a meal so that we can part ways in peace.
In the future, in the end times, the relationships between people will be re-established.
Even father and son would draw their swords against each other.
Cruelty is not just talk.
There were too many people present today, and the storm had just hit, so social order had not completely collapsed. Otherwise, what the girl did just now would have been purely courting death.
Qiao Lan had dealt with her long ago.
It's more than just knocking him unconscious.
In the apocalypse, resources are scarce, and even small grudges are magnified infinitely. There have been so many cases of people being killed because of small grudges that Qiao Lan has long developed the habit of completely nipping danger in the bud at the slightest sign.
Otherwise, you will die sooner or later.
"Sister Lan, after that girl wakes up, she won't come to cause trouble again, right?"
Xiao Li was a little worried.
Qiao Lan smiled harmlessly: "Don't worry, I believe that after this lesson, she has come to her senses. Come, let's eat."
If you dare to come again, I'm sorry, I can only find a deserted place to deal with her.
Things calmed down and the three of them sat down to enjoy breakfast comfortably.
Strictly speaking, only Qiao Lan was enjoying the meal. Xiao Tang and Xiao Li were both absent-minded in their eating as the storm had left them with no appetite.
Qiao Lan did not try to persuade him. No one would be able to accept such a disaster for the first time, and it could not be alleviated by just a few words of persuasion.
She just buried her head in eating.
The cooking skills of the father and son chefs are really not exaggerated. They made delicious foreign dishes yesterday, and today's Cantonese breakfast was also very authentic.
The wind was howling outside and the streets were in a mess. They were of course worried, but they were able to keep calm and use their skills. Qiao Lan was very satisfied with this.
The idea of keeping them by my side in the future has become stronger.
However, the time was not right yet, so Qiao Lan did not mention the recruitment.
In this kind of situation, you have to stay calm and wait for the opportunity!
"Oh, Sister Lan, the building where I rented a house also collapsed!"
After dinner, not long after the chef left, Xiao Li, who was curled up on the sofa and checking the news on his phone, screamed, his face full of fear.
She rented the apartment in that old residential complex, which was more than 30 years old, because it was cheap and close to the school. She shared the room with someone and it only cost 400 yuan per month. It was on the first floor.
But when disaster strikes, these cheap buildings are really dangerous.
What Xiao Li saw was a long-range view taken from upstairs by a resident of a new building next door.
I saw that more than ten buildings in the community where she lived had basically collapsed.
Living on the first floor is the worst. Once the building collapses, all the bricks and stones on the upper floors will be pressed down.
It was vaguely visible that the first and second floors of the building where she lived had been flattened, while the third and fourth floors were still supported by a few crooked rooms, and the roofs of the fifth and sixth floors were empty and had been blown away.
There are quite a few residents inside!
She hurriedly tried to contact her roommate on her cell phone, but couldn't get through at all!
She was so scared that her face turned pale.
My roommate wouldn't be...
"Sister Lan, fortunately..." She looked at Qiao Lan blankly.
If she hadn't stayed in a hotel last night and slept on the first floor, would she have been crushed between the bricks and stones by now?
Qiao Lan walked over, hugged Xiao Li and comforted him.
"Don't be afraid, just follow me, it's okay."
Xiao Li finally escaped this life.
"The school dormitory collapsed, the community where I live collapsed, and I could see so many buildings collapsed outside the window..." Xiao Li hugged Qiao Lan's thick waist tightly in fear.
Even though he couldn't hug her with his arms, he still held on to her clothes tightly.
"...How many people died last night?"
"What should I do next?"
"There will be official rescue, but when will it arrive? With such a major disaster, post-disaster reconstruction may take a long time."
"And they say that after a great disaster there will be a great epidemic. Will there be a serious epidemic?"
"Can we still have classes at school?"
Not to mention, even when Xiao Li was scared, her thoughts were very clear, and each of her questions was of high quality.
Qiao Lanxin said that many people would die.
More houses will collapse.
There are also major epidemics.
There will be help, but it will be a drop in the bucket.
There is no official one anymore.
School? That's unbelievable.
"Sister Lan, the wind seems to be dying down."
Xiao Tang saw outside the window that the car downstairs had stopped rolling for a while.
Qiao Lan looked at her watch.
12:30 noon.
Ding-a-ling!
The phone rings.
The hotel front desk called and asked if I wanted to extend my stay. If not, please check out before 1:00.
If I renew the contract, the price has increased. The room was 4,000 yuan per night yesterday, but I need to pay 40,000 yuan today.
Increase tenfold!
"This hotel is making money from disasters!" Xiao Li exclaimed.
The three of them had less than 20,000 yuan left on the small thangka.
I originally had more than 40,000 yuan left, but I spent more than half of it on two meals. How could it be enough for today's rent?
"Sister Lan, this..." Xiao Tang scratched his head.
I shouldn’t have eaten it earlier.
