Chapter 19: Threats at the Door



This is human nature. What we worry about is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

We are all in disaster, why are you so glamorous while others can only starve to death?

Not only did they not help, they even wanted to wait for the two to get close before robbing them!

Jiang Ning brought two knives, a butcher knife in his left hand and a boning knife in his right hand.

He pushed the crowd away with a cold face and stood by the window, refusing to let anyone in.

The two sharp knives, stained with dried blood, frightened everyone so much that they took two steps back.

Some people were dissatisfied and were about to lecture him, but Huo Yishen also stood over.

The two men stood symmetrically, one on the left and one on the right, like cold-faced evil spirits.

Jiang Ning looked around at the crowd, taking in their expressions, and said coldly, "Don't give me any fucking advice. If anyone scolds me or dares to come up and steal my things, I'll chop one for each one, and two for each."

Everyone in the building knows the great reputation of the 18th floor. They are all bad guys!

These beasts eat and drink well and are not willing to share at all. Last time they were robbed, several of them were hacked and injured, and one of them died from excessive blood loss.

Yesterday someone secretly reported the incident to the firefighters, but they were only responsible for rescue operations and said that the matter was not their responsibility and that we could call the police after the flood receded.

Seeing Jiang Ning's attitude, no one dared to speak for a moment.

I’m afraid that if I say something wrong, this crazy woman will really chop me down!

Zheng Weili was no pushover and knocked over several men. The two of them finally swam under the window.

Jiang Ning was on guard against the people in the building, while Huo Yishen helped move things.

2 bags of 20 catties rice, 1 bag of 10 catties flour, some noodles and wet dried vegetables, two packs of candles, three large boxes of alcohol blocks, fermented black beans and chili sauce.

It’s not much, but it was paid for with my life.

Lu Yu was so tired that he could not stand steadily, and Zheng Weili was stabbed on the arm, with blood staining her clothes.

The crowd of onlookers looked greedy and calculating, but no one dared to step forward to grab it.

Yang Weicong and Su Mengyao were mixed in the crowd, their expressions full of complexity and hatred.

The two wanted to get close to him, but they knew Jiang Ning would not pay any attention to them.

Some people still couldn't help themselves and asked to borrow the rubber boat, saying they could pay to rent it.

The four men ignored him and went upstairs with their things with fierce looks on their faces.

A woman's curse was heard behind me, and many people followed suit, scolding the people on the 18th floor for being cold-blooded, heartless and inhumane.

Zheng Weili was so exhausted and tired that she couldn't even speak.

Back on the 18th floor, Jiang Ning found some iodine bandages and took some anti-inflammatory drugs.

The wound was not very deep, so it was disinfected and bandaged.

This time, both of them were frightened and their souls were still floating in the air.

I thought the apartment building was messy enough, but who knew it was even messier outside.

The two arrived early in the rain, packed up the rubber boat and put it in their bags, but then many people came.

The traffic jam became more and more serious, and it was packed with people. I finally waited until the supermarket opened.

Not only has the price of rice and flour increased 20 times, but people are also pouring in, grabbing whatever they see, regardless of whether it's on the shelf or in someone else's hand.

Without the Internet, supermarkets only accept cash. Those who have cash are naturally happy, but those who don’t have cash can only use gold necklaces and bracelets as payment. Payment is slow and complicated, so those who have no money can only grab and run.

There were police officers at the scene who fired shots and were able to suppress the crowd at first, but there were too many people without cash.

There were only so many supplies, and soon the second wave came up, some rushed in to grab them, some tried to run away after grabbing them, and the scene became a mess.

Everyone was afraid that the supplies they had snatched with great difficulty would be snatched away by others.

Zheng Weili and Lu Yu took advantage of the chaos to run outside, but the water was full of people, like dumplings being cooked in a pot.

They kept rushing over, some to grab supplies, some to grab rubber boats.

No matter how good Zheng Weili was at fighting, she could not beat four people with two fists. Not only did some of her supplies get stolen, her hands were also scratched, and what was even more abominable was that someone directly stabbed her rubber boat.

"If it weren't for the stab-proof rubber boat, we wouldn't have had a chance to come back."

The world was too unfamiliar, making Zheng Weili doubt human nature, and she leaned on Lu Yu tiredly.

Jiang Ning didn't know how to comfort her, the end of the world had just begun.

Before the two could catch their breath, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

Wow, there was such a huge crowd of people. At first glance, there were at least dozens of them, so crowded that there was no room even for them to stand in the aisle on the 17th floor.

Jiang Ning frowned. Are these people trying to rob?

Zheng Weili fought hard to get the supplies back. They didn't dare to seek survival outside, but set their sights on the 18th floor. It seemed that they wanted to pick on the weak.

I was tired and no one wanted to talk. I took the knife and went downstairs silently.

Four pairs of murderous eyes stunned everyone. They were afraid but unwilling to leave. They thought that dozens of people might have a chance of winning against four people, and they suddenly felt confident.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses came out and said with a smile on his face, "Don't get me wrong, we have no ill intentions."

Jiang Ning said coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Hello, my name is He Zhian. I'm the building manager elected by the neighbors. I want to discuss with you about organizing a group to go out and look for supplies."

He smiled, but the four of them didn't say anything through the door. They could only explain awkwardly, "The government hasn't rescued us yet. Everything is in chaos outside. It's dangerous to go out alone to look for supplies. Even if we find them, they will be robbed halfway. So we discussed it and decided to select those with good skills to go out together to look for them, so that we can look after each other."

"Do you have a boat or dinghy?"

"I'm here to discuss this with you guys." He Zhian laughed awkwardly, "We're all neighbors, we're all so close, if there's a disaster we can look after each other, right?"

The first half of this sentence is soft words, and the second half is a threat.

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, "Wait a moment, let's discuss it."

He gave the three of them a look, then walked to the window to discuss, "What are your plans?"

Zheng Weili has a hot temper and cannot stand threats.

If you want to steal the rubber boat, you have to step over her body first. It won’t be a loss to drag a few people with you. Come on if you are not afraid of death!

"These guys are more cunning than sieves. How about lending them the rubber boat?"

Lu Yu was more rational. "A wise man never suffers a loss. If we really push them to the limit, we will be the ones who suffer if so many people rush forward."

Zheng Weili disagreed, "No, if we let them succeed this time, there will be no end to it in the future."

Jiang Ning asked 1801, "What about you?"

"I don't care, it's up to you to decide."

"It's impossible to find supplies together. Not to mention that we can't find much. Even if we do find it, with so many people, it won't even be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth. Then we'll have to make plans again."

"Why not lend it to them and let them go out and find a boat?" Jiang Ning expressed his idea. "There are many outdoor equipment stores in the city. As long as they go early, they may be able to find a speedboat or rubber boat. Then they won't just focus on the ones we have."

"Aning, what you said makes sense, but it's so chaotic out there right now. If the rubber boat is stolen or damaged, what will we do in the future?"

"You forgot, I also have a rubber boat."

Huo Yishen said, "I have a speedboat."

Lu Yu, "..."

Zheng Weili, "..."
