Chapter 19 Freezing Rain【VIP】
It's not like Tang Tian hadn't made purchases for free in her previous life, but she had to break her own moral bottom line before she made the decision.
But she had been cold and hungry for a while, and could hardly compete with others. She might even get hurt, and it was difficult to protect herself. It was only after she finally got determined that she gradually became proficient.
So in this life, she almost abandoned so-called morality.
Gradually people will discover that the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive, and only by abandoning part of human nature can one truly survive the apocalypse.
The Tang family currently has no shortage of food. Besides, people are going out to buy things for free these days, and they are all keeping an eye on any store that might have food, which has already been cleared out, so there is no need to even go in.
In fact, only a small number of people are willing to come out to search for supplies.
Most people only want to go to the supermarket during the day. The constraints of morality and ethics prevent those who still have good intentions from making free purchases.
But we have to admit that this is the best time to buy for free.
Once everyone breaks through the bottom line, supplies will soon become scarce and in short supply.
Because they had a lot of stockpiled goods, Tang Tian and Tang Yi knew that there was an express delivery station across the street from Hexinyuan.
There was not a single car on the road, and the streetlights were off. The two sisters walked on the icy surface and soon arrived at the post station.
The post station had a glass door. Tang Tian took out a glass cutter and cut it, then kicked it, and the entire glass door shattered.
After confirming that there was no surveillance, Tang Tian did not check carefully. Instead, she and Tang Yi put all the express boxes in their sight into the warehouse and would open them after returning.
After the search, the two of them walked back to the route they remembered.
Occasionally, you can feel a few drops of freezing rain hitting your face, making it feel cold.
But the effect of the warmth power was radiating from the inside out, so they didn't feel too cold.
Tang Tian and Tang Yi’s first ability column is warmth, and for the remaining one, the former chose strength enhancement, while the latter chose speed enhancement.
A few minutes later, they arrived at a hardware store.
Facing the rolling door covered with a thin layer of ice, Tang Tian took out a demolition axe.
A bowl of snow-white double-skin milk, carefully scoop a spoonful, it is springy, delicate and smooth, and after eating it, it is full of milky fragrance, refreshing and sweet.
With his strength strengthened, Tang Tian chopped at the door without feeling tired at all, and finally broke it open.
Almost everything in the hardware store was useful, so Tang Tian didn't even look closely and just put them all in his pocket!
After walking about another four or five hundred meters, we passed several residential areas, all of which were in the same condition as Hexinyuan, almost pitch black.
Tang Tian turned on the light again and found the gold recycling shop, and she couldn't help but smile with joy.
This kind of shop is usually very small. Tang Tian used a glass cutter to cut the door and went straight in. Tang Yi stayed at the door to keep watch.
The recycling shop not only recycles gold, but also platinum, silver, jewelry and luxury goods, so Tang Tian is quite looking forward to it.
The counter was empty, so she crawled over it, but after searching around, she found nothing.
Could it be that the boss took away all the items in advance and decided not to open the store anymore?
Just when Tang Tian was feeling a little lost, she suddenly found a safe in the corner.
It was definitely impossible to open it this way, so she simply put it and the safe into the warehouse and tried to open it again when she got back.
After making sure that there was nothing useful left, Tang Tian and Tang Yi left the store.
…
Their original destination was this recycling shop, so the two crossed the road and returned.
There are also some new shops here. In the end, Tang Tian was attracted by a chain of braised food stores.
This kind of store usually has a supply chain, and the goods sold are all packaged. Moreover, the weather is so cold that they may not be spoiled.
When Tang Tian thought of this, his mouth began to water. He immediately took out a demolition axe, broke into the door and went in to search.
The braised food would not be hidden so tightly. I wonder if the clerk didn’t come back later, but there was still half a freezer full of packaged braised food.
Tang Tian waved his hand and even put the freezer into the warehouse.
"Sister, it's almost time, let's go!"
Tang Tian pulled down her mask and breathed in a breath of fresh air. Fortunately, she had special abilities, otherwise such cold air would have made it difficult to breathe.
Tang Yi had been helping out nearby, and the noise in the dark night made her heart beat wildly.
But after not seeing anyone for such a long time, she gradually relaxed - she thought that she would get used to it in the future.
So she nodded and they prepared to go home.
But unexpectedly, in the dim light, a sentence suddenly came:
"Xiaoyi, is that you?!"
Hearing this familiar voice, they both frowned at the same time.
What a narrow road for enemies to meet.
Tang Yi glanced to the side and saw a ball of light coming quickly from the distance. It was a flashlight.
Jiang Yao also took out his flashlight and shone it directly at her, then said in a more confident tone of surprise:
"Xiaoyi, it's really you, that's great! I have some here, I'll give you some!"
"Hey, Jiang Yao,
Tang Tian looked to the side and saw that Jiang Yao had followed a small group. Although they were wearing more clothes, they were composed of only one person.
Items such as canes, sticks, and fire axes.
Jiang Yao nodded:
"This is my fiancée, uh, and my wife's sister...Brother Gang, shall we take them with us to look for supplies?"
People really do laugh when they are extremely speechless.
Tang Tian immediately spat:
"Who knows you? You perverted stalker! Get out of here right now!"
Several young people turned their eyes to Jiang Yao again, and started to eat melons, which was quite interesting.
In fact, this group of people all live in Hexinyuan, but not in Building 15.
Jiang Yao had been feeling extremely dissatisfied since he was turned down by the Tang family last time, so he gave up his original rental house and wanted to rent a house in Hexinyuan, and then try to make Tang Yi change her mind.
Supermarkets are open, and the two sisters of the Tang family are rich, so they must be stocking up on goods. He can't miss this opportunity.
However, there was no agent at that time, so Jiang Yao went directly to the property management.
Thinking that they could get some extra money, the property management agreed to his request. Unfortunately, there were no vacancies on the 15th floor, so he had to settle for the next best option and rent a room in the building next door.
The supplies Jiang Yao brought were used up quickly and soon ran out, especially the food.
At first, I could still buy it from my neighbors, but later I couldn’t find any, so I had to bite the bullet and rush to the nearby supermarket to buy it. I was even stepped on a few times in the stampede.
I was trembling until today, and it happened that someone in the building went out to look for supplies.
The organizer was named Ji Gang, a fitness coach. However, he was not so generous, completely refusing requests from others in the building to help carry supplies, and he absolutely did not buy or sell. Whoever found it kept it.
Jiang Yao panicked, but he was afraid of death, so he finally signed up to join.
Without any tools, he fell several times on the ice as soon as he went out.
Jiang Yao placed all of his accumulated resentment on Tang Tian, believing it was because of her that Tang Yi's attitude towards him plummeted.
I didn't expect to meet them on the road this time. They usually stay indoors, so I must find an opportunity to sell them well.
Supplies are so scarce now. As long as I keep showing goodwill, Tang Yi will definitely change her mind!
Jiang Yao thought of this, but saw Tang Tian and Tang Yi turned around and left, and hurriedly whispered to Ji Gang:
"Brother Gang, they used to be big anchors! But they've been having a serious quarrel with me lately. Since I'm helping them, can you take them with you?"
Anyone who has been to a supermarket knows that prices are rising sharply nowadays.
A bottle of frozen mineral water costs 15 yuan, a bag of instant noodles costs over 50 yuan. A bag of rice has risen to 100 yuan, and a pound of pork has risen to over 80 yuan. Not to mention vegetables and fruits, which are basically unavailable.
There are no vegetable markets now, so although people complain, they still rush to supermarkets to stock up on goods, and soon all the goods delivered by the government are cleared out.
But that wasn't enough. After the freezing rain froze the world, even if the country still had grain in stock, the efficiency of its delivery would have dropped significantly. Furthermore, Spring City had no granaries, so grain would have to be transferred from warehouses elsewhere.
Ji Gang originally ate more than ordinary people, and now he couldn't bear it anymore, so he took action in the building.
Some neighbors criticized and blamed him, and some neighbors asked him for help, but he ignored them all. The most important thing was to survive.
After gathering five or six young people, including Jiang Yao, they left Hexinyuan in a mighty procession.
In fact, he could see that Jiang Yao had been slacking off all the way. But when he heard that he not only knew these two women, but they also seemed to be two wealthy women, Ji Gang became interested and hurried forward and shouted:
"Hey, beautiful lady, don't leave so quickly! It's too dangerous for you to go looking for supplies alone. Why don't you come with us so we can look after each other!"
Jiang Yao also said anxiously:
"Yes, Xiaoyi, Brother Gang is very powerful in the building. We will definitely find a lot of supplies to bring back! And Brother Gang is also very fair. When the time comes, you can bring more supplies back to give to Auntie!"
Ji Gang was very satisfied with Jiang Yao's flattery and waved the fire axe in his hand.
Tang Tian didn't want to bother with Ji Gang and the others at first, but after hearing these words, she clenched her fists.
He spoke as if he cared about them very much, but in his previous life, he completely took the Tang family's kindness to him for granted, and in the end he even asked Wei Mingxia to go out to find supplies!
Tang Tian wanted to kick him out at that time, but unfortunately failed.
In this life, I have cut off the possibility of repeating the same mistake from the source, but I didn't expect that he would still linger around.
Tang Tian's face darkened as he directly pulled out a demolition axe, which gleamed silver in the darkness and was twice as big as a fire axe.
Jiang Yao's expression changed:
"Tang Tian, what do you want to do?"
Tang Tian was not very tall, and when she took out such a big axe, a vague sneer could be heard from Ji Gang's group.
Seeing that she was ready to fight him, Ji Gang quickly lost his patience.
Because he had enjoyed the power to call the shots, he considered himself the leader of the building, but when Tang Tian resisted him, he immediately got angry.
Seeing the two men with large backpacks on their backs, he was moved again, sneered twice, and ordered:
"You're shameless, so don't blame us! If you know what's good for you, just leave your backpacks behind and I can still spare you!"
Jiang Yao was shocked and just wanted to beg for mercy, but Ji Gang pushed him away and he fell on the ice again.
Tang Tian's eyes were stern as he gripped the axe handle tightly. Tang Yi also took out a kitchen knife.
The weapons I practiced with at home are finally put into practice!
