Chapter 23: The Space Forces Her to "Pay Her Life"



By 11 p.m., the noise outside had stopped.

Shen Jing told Vassi to stay in the space until they were outside, then she would let it out to run around.

"Clatter"

When the three security doors opened, Shen Jing came out and saw a mess in the hallway. The tiles were covered with unknown stains, and garbage bags were piled up in front of her door.

It seems those people threw all the garbage from this floor over here to vent their anger!

Forget about using the elevator.

Shen Jing slowly walked downstairs carrying her skis.

There is no one in the escape corridor on this floor at the moment.

However, because of the water outage, someone actually took care of their personal needs in the stairwell!

They didn't care that the hallway smelled bad because they were likely residents from other floors.

The further you go, the more chaotic it becomes.

The people living in the corridor are all concentrated below the 10th floor, and they are on the verge of collapse due to being homeless for the past two days.

Even just wanting to borrow some water from the house can lead to a huge argument.

Shen Jing was wearing a mask and dressed in a black jumpsuit.

She didn't stand out much as she moved through the crowd, but it was different when you saw the skis on her back!

"Young man! Are you heading out?"

"Could you help me find some fever medicine? My child has had a fever for two days!"

"Lend it to me when you're done using it! I have something to take care of!"

Several voices stirred up waves of memories, like a stone thrown into still water.

Even the person who initially refused to open the door poked their head out: "I'll pay! If I don't get the medicine soon, my elderly relative won't make it! Young man, please let me have it!"

Shen Jing paused and glanced at the house number.

Then she pushed aside the person blocking her way and continued walking forward.

You can't leave!

"Move aside." Shen Jing turned to look at him.

"You can't be so selfish. Since you have the means to go out, you should help your neighbors out!"

Those people wanted to leave when they saw her, which was unacceptable.

"I just want bread! Bring me back some bread, and I'll pay three times the price!"

"Bring me some groceries!"

"Who's selling things? I'm out of rice."

Shen Jing listened to their urgent, helpless, and desperate voices, but their expressions were all completely matter-of-fact.

She only said one thing: "I'm the one braving the blizzard now, are your legs broken?"

There was a moment of silence.

An uproar immediately erupted: "Why are you cursing people?!"

"Oh yes, it's a little girl!"

"Hey, I recognize you... are you a relative of Lin Guoqiang?"

"Guoqiang! Come out and say something!"

Shen Jing looked at the slightly flustered burly man in front of her and recognized him as the man who had lent her her phone that day.

She held out her hand to him and said, "Where's your phone?"

Lin Guoqiang scratched his face awkwardly, then coughed somewhat helplessly, "No...it's gone."

"Oh, it's just five thousand. I'll remember that."

Mrs. Lin immediately objected: "It's not like we lost it! Why should we be the ones to complain!"

Lin Guoqiang tugged at her sleeve and smiled apologetically at Chen Jing.

The others also realized that they weren't relatives after all.

Shen Jing waved her hand and continued walking forward.

At that moment, a man came out and stopped her.

"I'll go with you! It's not safe for a young girl like you to go out alone!" He said, reaching for Chen Jing's hand.

Without hesitation, Shen Jing threw him over her shoulder.

With a "thud," he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.

She stepped on the man's back and continued walking forward.

At this point, the people blocking the road consciously separated and stood on both sides.

Are all young girls these days capable of easily tripping up a 1.9-meter-tall man?

This is too fierce!

Shen Jing rushed up to the second floor and sat by the window in the corridor.

She could see a corpse lying in the snow from afar.

It's so cold.

It couldn't possibly be someone who swims in the snow during winter...

Shen Jing sighed.

Looking at the endless world covered in white snow, she felt a tightness in her chest.

A few people were also traveling on homemade skis, forming small groups of two or three, adding a bit of life to this snowy night.

With a "thud," the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out.

The people gliding forward didn't stop; they just glided even faster, trying to escape the tragedy behind them.

Shen Jing put down her skis and joined the group.

People in the same building who were near the window saw the agile Shen Jing by the moonlight.

He shouted loudly at Chen Jing, "Save her!"

"Oh my god! Is that the room where Sister Liu lives across the street? Isn't she still in her postpartum period?"

Some people don't understand; it's just that it snows a little longer.

It's a bit strange that it snows in the South, but it'll be fine once the sun comes out. Why can't you think about that?

"Could it be postpartum depression?"

Someone quickly explained: "Nonsense! I heard her in-laws locked up all the food, so she and her daughter had to stay in the room..."

Shen Jing swung across, looking at the deep crater in the shape of the Chinese character "人" (ren, meaning person). Her heart sank, and she realized that the person had already died on the spot.

She didn't linger and turned to leave.

In my previous life.

The natural disasters did not end until the day she died.

Even those who survive are living in constant fear!

This scenario will only become more and more frequent.

...

The wind howled furiously in Shen Jing's ears.

She has already reached her destination, and Vasily has been released by her.

Following the map, they walked together and soon found their first destination—the supermarket logistics park.

Shen Jing followed her memory to the area of ​​the warehouse.

The snow here is relatively clean.
