Chapter 43 The Only Living Creature Walking
Zhang Qiqi is a smart person, how could she not guess what Liu Dahong meant by his words:
"Yes! Manager Liu is a man of great wisdom. I heard from Qiming that the supplies given by the government can only last for three days at most. With the current high temperature, it is a blessing for the people that they can send them this time! In the future, you will see.
Once the supplies are scarce, this temporary underground shelter in Repulse Bay will be in chaos! At that time, the property management and the property owners' committee that you are in contact with the government will naturally become the target of public criticism. It is not impossible that they may suspect that you have embezzled the supplies!"
Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Qiming listened to Zhang Qiqi's words and was a little worried.
But the last sentence made the desire for power and control that had been stirring in his heart suddenly emerge:
"So, by reducing the population, we can save some supplies ourselves. As for these supplies, whether to distribute them to the owners is up to us. As long as we control the supplies, we control the resources, and we control the right to speak! After that, the entire Repulse Bay will be decided by us! Don’t you think so, Brother Liu?"
Zhang Qiqi listened to his words and sneered in her heart: This man is really a fence-sitter, and his principles are gone!
Who wouldn’t be happy to be able to go from serving the owners to ruling and managing the owners, and to own the supplies to make a career!
Several property managers were somewhat bewitched, and they were all rubbing their hands, looking at Liu Dahong expectantly.
Liu Dahong held the unlit cigarette between his fingers, put it to his mouth and took a deep puff.
After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, he raised his eyes and glanced at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice:
"This can be done, but I have to remind you of two points:
1. Only a few of us know about the whole process. The brothers under the property management, and the rest of you, the owners' committee, Brother Zhang, must keep it confidential!
2. Wait until the official material truck leaves before doing it, and don't let anyone find out!"

On the other side.
After Jiang Yan left the community gate, she found a secluded corner and put away the backpack full of supplies on her body.
She also took out two fully charged electric mosquito swatters from the space.
This electric mosquito swatter was previously purchased from a certain Dong online.
I didn't consider that there would be mutant mosquitoes, so I didn't buy many.
There were only about ten or so.
Fortunately, all of them are fully charged and can be switched at any time.
However, some of these mosquitoes are larger than the size of the electric mosquito swatter, and I don't know how many can be killed.
Jiang Yan held an electric mosquito swatter in one hand and walked quickly to the nearby shopping center.
All I saw was devastation.
There was not a single living person on the road.
If she hadn't seen a few figures secretly observing her from the windows of some communities, she would have thought she had arrived in the city of death.
From time to time, she could see the blackened skeletons of cars that had spontaneously combusted.
Some buildings must have been burned before, and they were also black.
On the ground and on the road, there were scattered dried corpses of some animals and humans.
Among the animal corpses, pigeons and wild cats were the most numerous, followed by some unknown birds.
In the rolling heat wave, black dust was everywhere.
I don't know if it was the ash from the road or the ash from the burning dead.
"Pop!"
Not far away, a corpse was thrown down from a building.
As soon as the corpse landed, a group of mosquitoes hiding in the dark surrounded it as if they were equipped with radars.
The window was closed tightly with a "bang".
Jiang Yan was no longer surprised and didn't even raise her eyelids.
The time was getting closer to half past five.
There were more and more mosquitoes on the street.
The irritating "buzzing" sound began to come from all directions.
And the sound became much louder as the mosquitoes mutated.
It was like a cheap loudspeaker was installed on its wings.
Before the mosquitoes mutated, they were just annoying to look at.
But they were fragile after all, and they would die if you slapped them.
Now that they had grown bigger, their hairy antennae and pointed mouthparts were almost as long as half of her arm.
The hind legs with white markings were even more frightening, almost as long as her arm.
And once they are slapped to death, their mouthparts with venom, anticoagulants and anesthetics will be automatically broken off in the host's body.
It's terrifying to think about it!
No wonder these blood mosquitoes are so aggressive.
Jiang Yan frowned and quickened her pace.
There are mosquitoes outside her house on the 32nd floor at night, but there are much fewer than on the lower floors.
And the glass sound insulation is not as strong as it is now.
She is wearing a Chinese medicine mosquito repellent bag and a closed heat-insulating suit, which reduces the attraction to mosquitoes.
But it does not affect the mosquitoes circling around her.
After all, it is difficult to meet a walking living thing on the street.
These mosquitoes have sucked everything they can suck in the past two days.
Those scattered corpses and people who go out to find food or move at night when there is no sunlight are not enough for them to fill their teeth.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
"Buzz buzz buzz."
Two blood mosquitoes couldn't bear it and attacked Jiang Yan.
"Pah!"
"Pah!"
As the left and right hands waved, two mosquitoes were knocked unconscious to the ground, their long legs kicked and they stopped moving.
Maybe because the mosquitoes were too big, they were not burned by the electric shock.
But at the same time, other mosquitoes also found Jiang Yan.
I don't know if they were afraid of the Chinese medicine mosquito repellent bag on her body or the electric mosquito swatter in her hand, but they didn't attack immediately after they flew close.
Instead, like the two mosquitoes before, they kept buzzing irritably, following her walking and hovering in the air to observe her.
At first glance, it seemed like there was a moving black cloud on her head.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but "click" in her heart. Could this mosquito be a spirit?
The shopping center is just across the street.
Jiang Yan didn't dare to slack off at all, and her pace became faster and faster.
She took a quick look and found that most of the windows of the shops outside the shopping center were broken.
Especially those selling food, beverages, mobile phones, watches, etc., were not spared.
In fact, it has been less than two or three days since the extreme high temperature occurred.
The owners of their Repulse Bay can stay at home for the time being, and even move underground tonight, and there are supplies sent by the government.
But not everyone has such conditions.
For example, in an old community she just walked through, there is no underground parking lot to hide.
Either take a sauna at home, or go to the temporary shelter built by the government or the nearby underground garage, underground supermarket, etc. after the sun goes down at night
. Other than that, there is only waiting to die.
Some people may not even have a home.
So it is expected to do some zero-dollar shopping during the chaos.
Those mosquitoes are still "buzzing" above her head.
In a place where she can't reach even if she raises the electric mosquito swatter.
After walking for more than ten minutes, even though she was wearing a heat-insulating suit and her physical fitness had improved a lot, Jiang Yan still felt soaked all over.
The dampness brought by the sweat passed through the clothes on her body and the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and spread into the sultry air.
This is full of temptation for mosquitoes.
This round of pk will not end until Sunday. Keep asking for votes and follow-up reading. Don't hoard articles! Oh!
