Chapter 72 Come Back, Lie
There are medicines in the market, but they are too expensive. Min Weihuan spent all his money but couldn't buy any medicine. Now their family is out of money and food, and his father's condition is getting worse, so he asked Lu Xingtang to help take a look at him. His father is already 76 years old, and they have prepared themselves mentally. They just hope that their father can feel a little more comfortable before he passes away.
In his previous life, Min Weihuan became a bad person because when his father died, all the people who had taken refuge in the shelter came back.
They didn't care whether Min Weihuan's father was dying or not. They made all kinds of trouble for Min Weihuan, preventing him from seeing his father off to the grave. They also angered his mother to death. They even asked Min Weihuan to give them supplies free of charge to several families who returned from the shelter so that they could survive.
Min Weihuan has turned bad, but it doesn't matter to them on the 19th floor, and they are not afraid. But Lu Xingtang thinks Min Weihuan is a good person. If he helps her, won't she not follow the same path as in her previous life and affect her stable life?
However, Min Weihuan's father was already at the end of his strength. Even acupuncture had no effect on what happened in the past two days. It only made Min Weihuan's father feel less uncomfortable.
That afternoon, Lu Xingtang used a telescope to see people returning from the shelter. They were wearing thin clothes, had pale faces and were thin, with vicious eyes. They entered the community and came towards their unit building. She immediately told Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng the news and asked them to be on guard against people returning from the shelter.
At the same time, Min Weihuan's father was dying. Min Weihuan rushed to find Lu Xingtang. Lu Xingtang looked at Min Weihuan's father and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" There was no need for acupuncture as the patient was already dying.
"Min Weihuan! Come out quickly!" The people who returned from the shelter went straight to Min Weihuan's house as soon as they went upstairs. "We are back from the shelter. Please come out and arrange accommodation for us and prepare food and supplies for each household."
How arrogant! Lu Xingtang took out two guns from his pocket, one in each hand: "You guys say goodbye properly, I'll keep an eye on those people!"
Min Weihuan was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you..." They all said that the people on the 19th floor were cold-blooded and murderous, but was that really the case? They were clearly flesh and blood people!
Lu Xingtang pulled the trigger and opened the door to see a ferocious man knocking on the door, his eyes full of viciousness. The moment he saw Lu Xingtang, he was stunned, especially when the gun was pointed at him, his legs trembled with fear: "Stand against the wall!"
They stood obediently against the wall, not even looking at Lu Xingtang. Lu Xingtang's viciousness left a deep shadow in their hearts.
After a while, sad cries were heard from Min Weihuan's home. Min Weihuan's father passed away.
About half an hour later, Min Weihuan walked out the door. Seeing Min Weihuan's red eyes, Lu Xingtang said, "My condolences!"
Min Weihuan nodded at her and said, "Thank you for your help!" Then he looked at the others. Five families had returned from the shelter, a total of 17 people. These five families were residents of rooms 302, 404, 701, 803, and 804. They had left in perfect order, but when they returned, the elderly person was missing. It was estimated that they had died.
"There are a lot of empty apartments in the building next door. Go find one for yourselves! We don't have any extra rooms for you in our building; it's full! As for supplies? Go find them yourself, or go to the market and barter." Min Weihuan felt helpless, but his sense of responsibility got the better of him, so he decided to make arrangements for these people first. "If you don't want to find a place to live next door, then you can continue to live on the stairs and in the hallway. As long as you're not afraid of freezing to death!"
"Building Captain, as long as we have a place to live, anywhere is better than living in a shelter. You don't know that there are five of us families crammed into one house. We bump into people every time we turn around, and we're often bullied. We only came back because we couldn't stay any longer. But, we haven't eaten in several days. The shelter provides meals, but the bullies in the shelter snatch them away as soon as we get them. Building Captain, can you lend us some supplies? We promise to return them as soon as we have them!"
Lu Xingtang saw their evasive eyes and thought of their previous arrogant attitude. He knew there was something fishy about them leaving the shelter and returning.
They went to the trading building to make purchases with cash, and while they were waiting in the trading building, they heard people around them talking about it.
Life in the shelter was good now. While we couldn't get enough to eat, we had one rice ball per meal, and we could eat two a day. Many people had died due to natural disasters like the reservoir bursting, poisonous moths, snake plagues, and extreme cold. Initially, the shelter was crowded and chaotic, but after many people died, each family had a room, and there were enough supplies. Management was also very strict; anyone who broke the law would be taken away to work in the mines.
Those who committed serious crimes were shot on the spot.
So, they were lying! But why did they leave the shelter? Perhaps they had committed a serious crime and were trying to escape!
Min Weihuan said, "Tomorrow morning, take your ID cards to your original neighborhood committee to collect relief food. The earlier you go, the sooner you can get it." He was the building manager, not the saint. He was almost starving to death, so how could he care about them?
Seeing that they were reluctant, Lu Xingtang gestured with his gun: "Are you not leaving yet?"
The 17 people were so angry that their teeth were itching, but they had to surrender due to Lu Xingtang's tyranny.
"Wait a minute! Although you are residents of this building, you are no longer residents of the building next door after you moved in! So, don't even think about coming back to our building and causing trouble for us! If I find out..." Lu Xingtang fired a shot at the tallest, slightly sturdy man, hitting him in the shoulder. Don't think she didn't see it, these people all followed him as their leader: "Don't leave any of them alive!"
After watching those people leave, Lu Xingtang looked at Min Weihuan: "Be careful of them! They... have changed..."
Min Weihuan understood, he had already seen it, and after he had dealt with his father's affairs, he would go and alert the people in the unit building.
The next day, everyone went to the original neighborhood committee early to collect relief food. We did not go to the 19th floor because it was too cold and we did not want to wait in line. We went to collect it in the afternoon.
There was no rice this time, only broken rice and soaked rice. Lu Xingtang also valued it very much, so it was better to have something to eat than nothing.
Two days later, the body collection team came to their Sunshine Community and took away all the bodies in the community.
After the bodies were cleared away, Min Weihuan invited Su Cheng, a retired police officer, to help train the fighting capacity of the residents in the apartment building, so that at least they would be able to fight back if they encountered robbery on the way back from collecting relief food. This decision was supported by everyone in the apartment building, and everyone wanted to learn from Su Cheng.
After thinking about it, Su Cheng agreed. Only when everyone becomes stronger will they stop focusing on the 19th floor, and everyone will have a chance to survive.
So, every household in the apartment building contributed some food or other supplies. After discussion, they hired Su Cheng and gave him 20 kilograms of supplies per month, excluding food.
