In apartment 2302 of building 3.
Zhao Hui used his key to open the apartment door. Inside, five people were waiting, some sitting and some standing. These were the people who had been with him since the beginning of the rainstorm. They were Zhao Hui's most trusted people at the moment. This time, when he went to other places to find supplies, all of them had come with him.
"Brother Zhao, how did it go? Did they agree?" Lu Hao quickly stood up and asked as Zhao Hui came in.
He was muscular, and his regular-sized clothes looked a bit tight on him. Before the rainstorm, he was a fitness instructor.
Zhao Hui, feeling a bit tired, sat down on the sofa, grabbed a glass of water from the table, and gulped down half of it before saying slowly, "They've all agreed. Let's set off tomorrow."
"Boss, did we give them too many supplies?" Miao Wei leaned forward and sat down on the sofa next to Zhao Hui.
This trip was inherently risky, and the supplies we brought back will definitely last longer. Sending out 40% at once, with only six people making up 60%, is far too little.
Zhao Hui opened his eyes and glanced at him, his tone becoming more serious: "Do you know what kind of world we live in now? Don't think that just because we people in Longyuan are so powerful, there are plenty of people more powerful than us. B City has always been a place where hidden talents abound. If you encounter any danger outside, even if all the supplies are yours, can you bring them back?"
Miao Wei sat there without saying a word. He knew that with his skills, it was already a miracle that he had come back alive.
Seeing that Miao Wei had taken his words to heart, Zhao Hui softened his tone and continued, "You have to give up something to gain something. In this end times, you must remember this principle in order to live longer than others."
Miao Wei nodded. After being reminded, he also remembered that the two men were indeed good fighters, especially Lin Ruo, who had a gun.
"Moreover," Zhao Hui got up and walked to the window, where the heavy rain left streaks on the glass, blurring his vision, "we're probably going to be the first to stick out our kayaks this time. Even if we get the supplies back, we'll still have trouble later. I heard that some tough guys have come to the other buildings as well. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold onto them even if we get them back."
"Will Ke Linruo help us?" Lu Hao frowned. He had also heard that the residents of Buildings 8 and 9 were living in dire straits and were starting to move to Building 3.
"Even if she doesn't care about us, she won't abandon the boat. Besides, do you think those people will only rob us?"
"How much of the supplies can we get with so many people? How much will Lin Ruo and Li Wei get? Those people won't let them go when they come. We'll have to deal with them whether we want to or not."
"Once they've taken the supplies, they're considered aboard the ship. Getting off won't be easy."
Zhao Hui had a smile on his face, but his mind was racing with calculations. He figured that all the supplies he had spent should be worthwhile.
"The boss is right, he's very thoughtful."
Meanwhile, Li Wei returned home and looked at his wife, who was teaching their child to do homework, with tenderness in his eyes.
Hearing the door open, Qian Li and Dou Dou looked up, their joy so genuine.
"Daddy!" Dou Dou ran over and hugged Li Wei's leg. "I just learned a lot of new words from Mommy. Now I can read stories to you too!"
Li Wei patted Dou Dou's head, picked him up with one hand, and pinched his increasingly thin face with the other: "Good! Dou Dou is great!"
Qian Li brought over a piece of bread and a glass of mineral water. "How did the talks go?"
Li Wei put Dou Dou down before picking up a piece of bread and taking a big bite. "Lin Ruo agreed. We'll go out together to find supplies tomorrow."
"She agreed?" Qian Li was somewhat surprised; she thought that the somewhat cold-hearted girl wouldn't agree.
“Hmm,” Li Wei nodded as he ate, “There are probably not many supplies left.”
Qian Li sighed. Yes, in this world, who has an endless supply of resources?
"Then you must be careful tomorrow." Qian Li looked at Li Wei, her eyes full of worry.
After being robbed that day, she finally understood that the world had changed. There were thieves and robbers, murder was commonplace, and going out to find supplies was an extremely dangerous thing.
Li Wei finished his bread and drank his water in one gulp before reminding him, "After I leave tomorrow, lock all the security locks on the door and double-lock all the door locks, understand?"
Qian Li nodded, thinking of the madness of those people that day. She felt a surge of tension; she didn't want to go through something like that again.
"I don't know if we'll be able to find any useful supplies this time."
"I heard that the boss is going to take us to Hengxing Shopping Mall. It's on higher ground, and the supermarket is on the 13th floor. It shouldn't have been washed away by the water yet."
"If we think this way, others must think the same way. Countless people have been to that supermarket, and they've probably taken almost nothing left..."
"That's still better than what we're doing. We'll find whatever we can."
...
Lin Ruo, dressed in black sportswear with a huge hiking backpack on her back and a black raincoat over it, came down from the building and heard people chatting animatedly on the 8th floor. Through their conversation, she learned their destination for the day—Hengxing Shopping Mall.
Hengxing Shopping Mall is a famous shopping mall in City B, with a total of 24 floors. It has everything you could want, so it's understandable that Zhao Hui would choose it as his first destination.
"Sister Ruo!"
"Hello, Sister Ruo..."
The moment Lin Ruo appeared, the five people who were sitting on the 8th floor all stood up and greeted her respectfully. Of course, they didn't respect Lin Ruo that much; they were just afraid of the gun in her hand.
Lin Ruo nodded in response, and then sat down on the stairs. It was 9:40, not yet 10 o'clock.
At this moment, Zhao Hui led his men to carry two kayaks down from upstairs. Lin Ruo stood up and made way for them, examining the kayaks in Zhao Hui's hands. These kayaks were of medium size, and each one could seat about four people. It seemed that there were about eight people in their group this time.
