In the residential area, the cold-resistant vegetables that were planted have already begun to sprout.
It hasn't rained recently, so we can only use the water from the basement for irrigation. But everyone is worried about what will happen if the water in the basement runs out and it still doesn't rain.
Not only are the vegetables lacking water, but people are too.
The water that Shen Zhou and his group brought back from the warehouse supermarket was almost gone. Recently, their daily water supply has been rainwater. In order not to get sick, they would use various pieces of furniture they found in the stairwell to start a fire and boil it before drinking. But even so, people with poor health still couldn't get used to it. Several survivors had diarrhea and fever after drinking it.
For this reason, Shenzhou led everyone out to search for supplies several times.
I'd like to see if I can find any more drinking water.
Unfortunately, they always failed to achieve their goal.
A whole week.
Li Nana didn't hear Wu Huifang calling her upstairs to help Song Wei change her dressing. Recalling Song Wei's pale face when she left that day, Li Nana couldn't help but feel worried.
Finally, as Wu Huifang carried Song Xing downstairs to get food, she asked the question that had been on her mind: "Why haven't you called me to change Song Wei's dressing these past two days? Is she alright?"
Wu Huifang moved Song Xing closer to Li Nana, saying, "She's fine. I'm following your doctor's orders and not letting her move. The baby is being fed complementary foods now."
Hearing Wu Huifang say this.
Li Nana finally felt relieved. When Wu Huifang told her that the child had been eating complementary foods, she specially brought an extra bag of protein powder: "We don't have any formula in our supplies. We don't know if the child is getting enough nutrition from eating only complementary foods. Why don't you give him some protein powder?"
Wu Huifang thanked her and accepted the protein powder.
He glanced casually at Li Nana's water glass and then asked, "Nana, why does the water in your glass look cleaner than ours?"
The water in Li Nana's cup was the same as everyone else's.
It's boiled rainwater.
She didn't understand why Wu Huifang would ask that, and could only explain, "Maybe it's because my water glass is a lighter color."
Clean water is extremely scarce today.
In addition, a few days ago, Wu Huifang told Aunt Fang, who was known for her gossip, that Li Nana gave food to Building No. 2 in exchange for clean water inside Building No. 2.
Now, upon hearing Wu Huifang say that the water Li Nana had was cleaner than theirs, she immediately objected: "Could it be that the clean water was exchanged from Building 2? Is it not appropriate to give you clean water all by yourself?"
What's with changing the water supply to Building 2?
Li Nana was a little confused by what everyone was saying, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did you get clean water?"
The crowd was initially angry because they had mistakenly believed that Li Nana had secretly drunk clean water and given them dirty rainwater to drink. Now, seeing Li Nana's attitude, they all stood up and accused her: "You stole from us, what right do you have to yell at us?"
Some people even wanted the breakfast that hadn't been distributed yet: "Who knows how much supplies she's secretly hoarding!!!"
Li Nana was in charge of managing the distribution of three meals a day, so naturally she couldn't let them grab the food randomly. She quickly stepped forward to stop them: "Who gave you permission to grab these? Put them down!!!"
Su Xinran had long disliked Li Nana, and took the opportunity to wink at her sycophant. The man understood and punched Li Nana in the chaos.
That punch was extremely powerful.
Li Nana was knocked to the ground and tried to get up, but her head was buzzing and she couldn't stand up at all.
Wu Huifang deliberately spread rumors that Li Nana had ulterior motives because Li Nana was extremely strict with things, and Wu Huifang would be criticized by Li Nana if she tried to take anything for herself.
Her goal was simple.
Anyone who dares to make her life difficult will also suffer.
Seeing Li Nana knocked down, she rushed forward and kicked her a few more times, saying as she kicked, "You're allowed to eat all the food yourself, but we're not allowed to take it from you?"
This statement made the already furious crowd even angrier.
Especially those few people who vomited and had diarrhea after drinking rainwater and had a fever for several days. If everyone was drinking rainwater and it was just that they were in poor health, that would be one thing. But now that I heard that Li Nana used supplies to exchange for purified water for herself, I can't stand it!
The crowd then joined in the beating.
Although Aunt Fang is a bit of a blabbermouth, she knows what's important and what's urgent, and she sees that the situation in the community is getting out of control.
She rushed forward to stop the crowd: "No, listen to me..."
However, the scene was too chaotic, and no one was willing to listen to Aunt Fang. Some even thought Aunt Fang was in the way and pushed her aside, almost knocking her to the ground.
Aunt Fang wanted to help Li Nana, but she didn't want to risk her own life, so she could only shrink to the side.
Actually, Zhou Ya upstairs also wanted to save Li Nana.
Only Li Nana noticed that her food was gone after all this time.
He brought her food every day without asking for anything in return.
However, Zhou Ya only had one gun, and she was in a panic at the time, so she didn't even have time to take extra bullets. After she went upstairs, she found that there were only five bullets in the gun. When she thought about going downstairs to search for bullets, many more zombies had entered the community.
One of the five bullets had already been used when Li Nana and her group first stepped into the residential area.
That means she only has four bullets left.
There were forty or fifty people downstairs. Even if she shot them one by one, she could only kill four people, which wouldn't save Li Nana at all, and she might even put herself in danger.
After weighing the pros and cons.
Zhou Ya also chose to remain on the sidelines.
Forty or fifty people ganged up on a girl, and some of them even had ulterior motives. Li Nana quickly stopped moving.
Most people just wanted to vent their frustrations and didn't intend to cause any real trouble. They all stopped hitting each other and even started to feel afraid.
