Chapter 50 Plague [VIP]
Tang Tian took out a batch of cosmetics from the system.
In fact, before the zero-yuan purchase, as a host, she also had to put on makeup every time she filmed a video or live broadcast, so ordinary makeup was not difficult for her.
But this time she didn't wear ordinary makeup, but a famine makeup that looked as pale as a tree.
The apocalypse has continued to this day, and it is not right to have the same vigor and rosy cheeks as before. When others see it, they will wonder if there is still food stored at home.
Although some neighbors already know about it, there will be more and more strangers in the building in the future, so it’s always a good idea to prepare in advance every time you go out.
The charcoal was not even taken out; in the eyes of the disaster victims, it was simply a big piece of fat meat.
Tang Tian put on some cooling clothes, drank a cup of iced lemon tea, took the bag, said something to Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia, and went out.
It just so happened that the Shen family also opened the door opposite.
Maybe it was the same as what Tang Tian thought, thinking that it would not be too dangerous now that there were few people around, so Chen Yaoyue, who had not been seen for a long time, also came out.
She also looked a lot thinner, but at least she didn't have such a sad look on her face like the others.
Maybe it’s because I went to collect supplies this time, but I actually felt a little excited.
Tang Tian couldn't help but think of the dead Wei Yu.
Although both of them are hot-tempered little princesses, the gap between them is too big.
When Shen Boyun and Shen Yaoyue saw Tang Tian, they were shocked and asked what happened.
Tang Tian touched her chin. Was she wearing too much makeup?
But she didn't answer, just smiled, opened the door and walked towards the rooftop.
Chen Yaoyue's eyes lit up:
"Brother, Tang Tian's idea is really good. It will prevent others from finding out. I have a lot of makeup that can be used. Come on, let's dress up too!"
Before the end of the world, Chen Yaoyue was a big anchor in the beauty area. She once wanted to create her own brand to make it bigger and stronger. Unfortunately, the end of the world came before her business was halfway through.
But in the end times, career has simply changed to survival, and there is not much difference in essence.
As a beauty blogger, she not only has a lot of cosmetics, but it is also obvious at a glance that Tang Tian is wearing makeup.
I have to admit that she is a smart person.
So without waiting for Shen Boyun's consent, Shen Yaoyue pulled him home again.
"Hey, Sister Tian, why are you here so late? The supply box has been opened. There are still a lot of supplies inside. Hurry and get them!"
When I arrived at the 19th floor, I happened to meet Li Feiyang who was secretly observing with the door open.
Li Feiyang had observed the approaching helicopter with a telescope at home before.
No matter what it was for, it must be an official move, so he immediately ran to the rooftop to wait and was almost the first person to get the supplies.
After getting the supplies, he went home immediately, not wanting to stay even a second longer.
It was because I was afraid of being robbed, and also because the sun on the rooftop was too strong and it was too hot.
Tang Tian nodded and walked up to the rooftop.
The ground seemed to be coated with gold, and you could vaguely see the wavy heat waves.
Looking at the blue and cloudless sky from afar, it seems to be a sunny day, but when I think about what will happen in the future, cold sweat breaks out on my back.
"Hurry! Take as much as you can!"
"Hahaha, luckily I wasn't taken away for quarantine. Not only is there no one to rob me this time, but I can also get more supplies!"
"Isn't it because I hid it for you that those whitebait didn't find it? Why are you showing off? Hurry up and get it!"
Tang Tian frowned after hearing this and immediately took out a medical mask and put it on.
These men do not seem to be the original residents of Building 15. After all, the original residents died in batches, but the buildings continued to fill up.
The men seemed to have noticed her and were suddenly more interested in her than the supplies in the supply box.
With a sweaty head and a mouthful of yellow teeth, he asked, his eyes gleaming:
"Oh my, I didn't expect there are young girls in this building? I thought they were all old hags!"
"Hey, beautiful lady, we've taken possession of these supplies. If you want, stay with me for a few days and they'll all be yours!"
After saying that, several men laughed arrogantly. One of them stayed to continue loading supplies, and the rest began to approach Tang Tian.
Although the authorities sent relief supplies, most of them have been circulated within the shelters, and the amount of supplies sent outside has decreased. Each household can only get a little bit, and the overall amount is not much.
If these people occupy it again, the other houses will be completely out of supplies.
"Tang Tian, be careful!"
Some more people went up to the rooftop. They were Qi Chang and Qian Peng, and Cui Xiuying followed them breathlessly.
But Choi Sooyoung didn't care about Tang Tian. She just widened her eyes when she saw the supply box on the rooftop.
He immediately ran over without paying any attention and tried to get the supplies, but was kicked aside by the man who was left behind.
Tang Tian snorted coldly, took out a dagger and went straight into battle. Now she was becoming more and more accustomed to using offense as defense.
With just one knife, she cut open the arm of one of the men, and blood spurted out immediately.
"Fuck! You're so shameless! You dare to hurt me? Come on, come on! Subdue her and enjoy it!"
The man spat, wiped the blood and rushed forward again, not catching
Tang Tian also learned self-defense skills at home. In addition, she ate, drank, and slept well every day, so she was in good spirits. She dodged the attacks nimbly and was not at a disadvantage at all.
However, faced with the shortage of supplies, they still gritted their teeth, searched for usable weapons on the rooftop, and joined the fight.
Fearing that he would be dragged in, he grabbed his share of supplies and ran away.
When Choi Soo-young saw that the obstacle was finally gone, she quickly got up from the scorching ground and unfolded the plastic bag.
"Damn, that's pretty tough!"
"Don't we just want a little more supplies? Ask yourself, don't you want them? Why are you so ruthless?"
One of the men was shouting loudly, while the other one had a gloomy face and secretly took out a fruit knife from somewhere.
The blade pointed upwards and unexpectedly stabbed backwards!
With a "swish", a cut was made on Tang Tian's cooling suit on the shoulder blade.
Fortunately, she hid in time and only her clothes were damaged.
When Qian Peng saw them take out knives, he immediately stepped back and didn't dare to go forward.
Fortunately, the next second, Shen Boyun and Shen Yaoyue rushed to the rooftop. Seeing that Tang Tian was facing a multi-on-one situation, they hurried over to help.
During this period of time, Chen Yaoyue has been trained a lot by the former. She has gone from being unable to hold a knife steadily at the beginning to being able to subdue ordinary people now.
And I also understand that if I don't take the initiative, I will often be the one who gets hurt.
The fruit knife was quickly kicked away, and several men were thrown to the ground one by one, like fish on an iron plate, struggling on the rooftop in pain and heat.
Qi Chang and Qian Peng breathed a sigh of relief, then quietly went to the supply box to get supplies.
Choi Soo-young had already filled several bags, and when she saw another person coming up, she thought to herself that something was wrong.
Even though the bag was already full, his hands kept moving.
There weren't many supplies to begin with, so Qi Chang and Qian Peng couldn't let her take them like that, so they pushed her aside and started packing up the supplies as well.
…
"Are you okay?"
Shen Boyun asked. He had just come up and saw the thrilling scene for the first time. How could he care about supplies now?
Chen Yaoyue glanced at the two of them, and very perceptively joined the group of people loading supplies.
"It's okay, it just scratched my clothes."
Tang Tian shrugged to indicate that it was okay.
Shen Boyun sighed:
"You just turned your back to the enemy. This..."
Having said that, he suddenly shut his mouth again.
Before the end of the world, they were all ordinary people, unlike him who had received professional training, so his tone was a bit too harsh.
Could it be because I was too anxious?
But Tang Tian didn't think so much, but felt that what Shen Boyun said made sense.
She just practiced self-defense fighting skills like this on her own. How could she be as good as those who have attended police academy?
Maybe...she could ask for some advice?
Anyway, they are not unfamiliar with each other now.
Thinking of this, she immediately showed an expression of humility and said:
"Officer Shen, you are right. Can you teach me? I can pay the tuition and I will never treat you unfairly!"
Tang Tian was more than a head shorter than Shen Boyun, so she had to look up.
Although her face was made up, the latter could see those eyes at a glance.
The sunlight reflected stars, and he suddenly felt that it was different from every moment before.
Shen Boyun felt his body suddenly burning, as if he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. For a moment he thought he was being burned by the scorching sun.
"You! How dare you bully an old woman like me! Do you have any conscience at all?!"
"Come on, you didn't even consider how much supplies you took. These official supplies are meant to be distributed to everyone in the building, not just your family!"
Sure enough, there was a commotion at the supply box. Tang Tian heard it and hurried over. Shen Boyun also came to his senses and followed.
Chen Yaoyue put her hands on her waist, pointed at Cui Xiuying's nose and started scolding her, making the latter's face turn red and white, and she looked like she was about to have a heart attack.
"Okay, stop arguing, just get it and go back."
Shen Boyun whispered and helped to load the supplies.
Tang Tian took a look into the supply box and found that in addition to instant noodles, compressed biscuits and canned food, there were also roots such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and cassava.
The original rice bricks are gone, replaced by various grains, still vacuum-packed.
In addition, the authorities also sent medicines, mainly antipyretics and heat-reducing medicines.
There is also a batch of zipper bags about the size of two palms.
Tang Tian opened one and looked inside, only to discover that it was a heat-relief bag:
It contains built-in heat-prevention and cooling supplies, some for disinfection and wound cleaning, and especially disposable quick-cooling ice packs.
Choi Sooyoung complained beside her:
"That's all, and it's so hot right now, and there's no water. I won't die of hunger, but what if I die of thirst?"
Qi Chang and Qian Peng, who were originally excited about receiving the supplies, were stunned after hearing this, and the smiles on their faces froze.
Yes, this time the supplies include many items that can reduce the heat, but the most important source of water is missing. What happened?
If they hadn't managed to store more water when the snow began to melt, they would probably have died of thirst.
And the water will slowly turn into stagnant water, just like flood water, which is undrinkable. What should we do in the future?
Tang Tian looked at them, thinking about something, as if he had an idea.
Who knows, you might be able to make some money from it!
After thinking this, Tang Tian was about to go downstairs with the supplies.
Unexpectedly, she saw Wei Qian coming to the rooftop panting.
When the cousins met, they fell silent.
Fortunately, Wei Qian didn't seem to be that ignorant. He just turned his head and rushed towards the supply box.
…
As the amount of silt visible outside the window became less and less, some of the patients who had been sent to isolation at that time also came back in waves, also brought in by vehicles and big white.
Moreover, if you cooperate with the official isolation and treatment, you can get some supplies before returning.
There was also food and medicine inside, but no water, but many people were still very happy and it comforted a lot of people.
But it can be clearly felt that the number of people returning is less than the number of people sent in, and I wonder what the tragic scene was like in the quarantine area at that time.
The 15 houses were not fully occupied after all, but many acquaintances came back.
Qiu Hongwei, Sun Gaohan and others, Gao Lan waited and waited but their child never came back, thinking that he had died of illness, and they cried all day long.
Especially Zhang Manxin, who also came back alive.
But as soon as she entered her home and didn't see Yue Ming, she felt something was wrong.
After searching several buildings without finding it, she got carried away and went straight to the 17th floor.
It is impossible for Yue Ming to leave me, nor for him to leave Hexinyuan, unless something unexpected happens.
Zhang Manxin's intuition told her that it must be the Tang family who harmed her son!
"Tang Tian! Come out! Get out right here! I know you're home!!"
Her body, which had just recovered, was still weak, but when she thought of Yue Ming's uncertain life or death, she suddenly had endless strength and kept banging on the door at the corridor entrance.
Which floor would lock the corridor door? There must be something fishy going on!
The sound was so loud that both families heard it, but the Tang family ignored it.
But Zhang Manxin was determined not to stop until she got the truth, so in the end it was Shen Boyun who opened the door.
Zhang Manxin rushed in directly and wanted to continue to 1701, but was stopped by Shen Boyun, so she had to question loudly in her mouth without admitting defeat.
Tang Tian turned on the surveillance speaker and refused to admit that she had anything to do with Yue Ming.
Anyway, there is no evidence to prove that he killed Yue Ming, as he is neither alive nor dead.
Besides, even if he was killed, so what? It was self-defense.
What's more, the society is in chaos now. Only criminals who are caught on the spot by the authorities will be sentenced, and they cannot be prosecuted.
Shen Boyun frowned when he saw this:
"Aunt Zhang, stop making trouble."
However, Zhang Manxin became even more excited when she heard this:
"Xiao Shen, you still call me Auntie, and you're protecting her too? What benefits has she given to your family? What's the relationship between you two?!"
Before Shen Boyun could speak, Zhang Manxin broke free again in a rage and kicked the door a few times, pointing and shouting:
"Tang Tian! Killing someone means paying with one's life. Just wait for me!!"
After saying this, she seemed to understand that there was nothing she could do, and was certain that Yue Ming was harmed by Tang Tian, so she went downstairs with a gloomy face.
Shen Boyun sighed and locked the door again, and Tang Tian came out.
"This is a real feud. I'm afraid they'll continue to harass me in the future. I don't know what radical actions they might take."
Shen Boyun said in a worried voice.
"If we're talking about enemies, we've already made them. Why worry about the future?"
Tang Tian was disdainful and changed the subject:
"By the way, what do you think of the suggestion I made to you last time?"
Shen Boyun was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he was asking for advice on fighting techniques.
He smiled and asked jokingly:
"So what are you going to pay for tuition?"
In fact, even if you don't pay the so-called tuition, he will still help, which is not a bad thing.
Tang Tian is already very talented, but it seems that she figured that out on her own, so there are some flaws.
If they can reach a higher level after training, it will also be beneficial to their Shen family, which is always a good thing.
"Of course, the tuition is paid with something that everyone wants these days. It's guaranteed to fill your stomach."
Tang Tian, who had originally crossed her arms, immediately stretched out a hand.
But Shen Boyun didn't think so much, nor did he think that Tang Tian really had as many supplies as she mentioned, so he reached out and shook it.
"But I think the temperature outside will continue to rise, and then it will become extremely hot just like the extreme cold, and we won't be able to go out during the day. Over time, people might become nocturnal. Then we should gather at night, right?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Shen Boyun agreed readily.
Since not many people recovered from the quarantine center, the original residents of buildings 12 to 16 now live sparsely and very scattered.
Sun Gaohan believed that this was not conducive to "unity", so he took the initiative to fill the building again.
So there were only two buildings, 14 and 15, left in Hexinyuan, and there were probably only about a hundred people left in total.
For Building 15, there are many new faces living in the vacant houses, and each of them has to be guarded against.
Sun Gaohan has usurped the throne and obtained control of the building from Qiu Hongwei.
He first counted the number of survivors in a serious manner, and then pretended to be close to the people and expressed his condolences.
If people didn't have some extra supplies on hand, they would have been unhappy and the competition would have been hyped up.
Of course, secretly gathering people and organizing a gang is what every leader would do.
Sun Gaohan even discovered that there was a wall-mounted solar panel installed on the wall outside House 1701.
Plus, the sun has been shining brightly recently, which means she must have electricity at home. She might be using the air conditioner at home right now!
So he led his men straight to the 17th floor, but he didn't expect that the door was directly blocked and it was so hard that there was no way to break it in.
Sun Gaohan thought of the locksmith Huang Kai, but the latter didn't want to be recruited this time no matter what.
Although there would be rewards, he could see that these people would take risks on the 17th floor whenever they felt proud.
There are a lot of supplies being distributed now, so there is no need for him to risk his life.
Seeing that Huang Kai was unmoved by any persuasion, Sun Gaohan thought of the 17th floor and became extremely angry. He vowed to go to those two houses to find out the truth in the future.
He even survived the plague, so could that little girl be more powerful than the plague?
…
And the Tang family has been doing the same thing recently.
This was the idea that Tang Tian came up with on the rooftop that time.
She planned to use this trick to continue searching for gold and jade in the building!
Although the temperature has not risen in the past few days, there is no electricity to turn on the cooling equipment, and some people have suffered from heatstroke while trying to save the medicines they have worked so hard to get.
In fact, drinking more water would be fine, but there is not enough water, which makes survival more difficult.
What a coincidence! There are plenty of water sources around Tang Tian!
However, she did not plan to use the system's well water. Apart from the official, where else could ordinary people get such clean water?
And now it’s not just a well. Tang Tian discovered that the water-attribute ability can also automatically release water.
She also put a glass of it to taste and found it to be similar to purified water and there was no problem with her health.
So she thought of the snow she had accumulated during the extreme cold!
The accumulated snow is put into the warehouse and remains in its original state after being taken out, but it will melt into water in a short time when exposed to high temperatures.
Although there will still be some light sediment, it is still much cleaner than the stagnant water.
What's more, after the floods, many people have probably drunk sewage, so their ability to tolerate it is high.
Of course, there may be few residents who have gold and jade around them, but there are always people who are reluctant to throw them away, so there will always be some gains.
After Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia brought back buckets of snow water from the balcony, Tang Tian turned his palm downwards, and a flash of orange light passed by.
The water in the bucket seemed to become cleaner.
This is the purification ability of orange cuisine, which is specifically used to purify water sources, while the purification in green cuisine is more inclined towards bacteria, viruses, etc.
For these snow waters, the purification level 3 ability is more than enough.
Tang Tian thought about it, opened the system again, and made another mango pudding with purification level 3.
The pudding with mango sweetness is delicate and smooth, melts in your mouth, and has a light milky aftertaste.
Tang Yi filled the collected plastic bottles with purified water and asked:
"Tiantian, will this method really work? What if those people just think we have supplies and plan to attack and rob us together?"
"That's a good opportunity to sort them out, and eliminate the stupid ones."
As Tang Tian spoke, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.
"Besides, Sun Gaohan is in charge of the building now. He probably already considers us as a strong enemy and has definitely told other people in the building about it. This is bound to happen sooner or later."
"Woof woof!"
There was a knock on the door, and Tantan stood up and barked.
"Miss Tang, it's me!"
The person outside the door seemed to be afraid that Tang Tian would not respond, so he shouted quickly.
Tang Tian opened the window above the door and chatted with those people for a while before asking:
"Did you hear everything clearly?"
"It's clear, it's clear. Don't worry, Miss Tang, we promise to do everything you ask, and that's the reward..."
The people outside the door were Qiu Hongwei and others who were rubbing their hands against flies.
Qiu Hongwei fell from a building manager to an ordinary person, but he always had subordinates around him.
It is too dangerous to be a lone wolf in this world. Tang Tian has three people in his family.
But after the plague, only three or four people were left alive and returned together. This group of people did not dare to disperse and continued to live their lives as usual.
While they were discussing how to live in the future, Li Feiyang came up from downstairs, but they didn't expect that he was just responsible for passing on the message.
Qiu Hongwei never thought that one day Tang Tian would take the initiative to find him.
After going to the 17th floor and finding out what was going on, he felt even more surprised about what Tang Tian wanted to do.
However, Tang Tian seemed to be kind-hearted this time and said there would be a reward, so Qiu Hongwei naturally agreed.
Tang Tian curled her lips and brought two bottles of water from the window.
Qiu Hongwei and others suddenly opened their eyes wide.
Both bottles contain standard 500ml of water, and the packaging has been removed, so you can clearly see how clear the water inside is from the transparent plastic!
Except for licking ice and eating snow in extreme cold, they have never seen such clean water.
If you get water again, you have to filter it several times and then boil it before you can drink it.
But now the flood has receded and the sun is so strong that not even the stagnant water can be seen.
So when they saw Tang Tian actually take out the bottle of water, Qiu Hongwei and others couldn't help but touch their chapped and dry lips, and then took it with trembling hands.
Tang Tian waved her hand again, and Qiu Hongwei and the others immediately ran away, obeying her orders obediently.
