Whether he goes out to find supplies or robs passersby, as long as he stays in this village, he can live a comfortable life.
As a result, Mu Qingyu and the group of people she brought back disrupted all his plans.
Therefore, Qin Zhaoxian decided to lie low for the time being, not to show his face, and quietly wait for the right opportunity.
However, Qin Zhaoxian wanted to keep a low profile and live a few peaceful days, but the people who came with him wouldn't allow it!
They fled all the way to this village with very little supplies, and now that the daytime weather is getting hotter and hotter, the severe lack of water has caused many of them to collapse.
These past few days, no one has been patrolling the village or guarding the village entrance. The nights are cold, but it's not too bad; you can find some quilts and winter clothes in the houses.
You can tough it out in the heat, but you can't do without water.
Aunt Mei's house has been closed for several days, and Qin Zhaoxian is also avoiding them.
To quench their thirst, they repeatedly boiled and simply filtered the well water in the village before drinking it.
However, even so, many people have collapsed because of this, which shows that the water in the well is not clean either.
Finally, on this day, those who could no longer hold on smashed open the gate of Building No. 4.
Once inside the courtyard, they continued banging on the gate while demanding an explanation from Qin Zhaoxian.
At that time, Qin Zhaoxian's head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode. He really had a headache; for a long time every day recently, his head felt like it was being pricked by countless needles.
His absence these past few days wasn't entirely due to his unwillingness to share supplies; the main reason was his headache, which kept him confined to his bedside most of the time.
Aunt Mei couldn't offer any help; all she could do was weep with heartache. Ever since that day when Aunt Mei witnessed Mu Qingyu commit murder, she had never dared to ask Mu Qingyu for help again.
She didn't even want to mention Mu Qingyu. Not only that, she didn't even want to mention Mo Huaiyu and Xiao Ai, who had gone to stay at Mu Qingyu's house.
Now the courtyard has been invaded, and the house gate is being smashed with all sorts of tools. Aunt Mei is just crying in fear in front of Qin Zhaoxian's bed.
"What do we do? What do we do? Ah Xian, what do we do? They're going to break in!" Aunt Mei cried.
Qin Zhaoxian was furious. On one hand, he hated those people for repaying kindness with enmity. If he hadn't led them to kill zombies and come to this village, they would probably have died in the city long ago.
On the other hand, he was annoyed by Aunt Mei, that useless old woman who only knew how to cry and whine, repeating "what to do" like a broken record, without any ability to solve problems, which made his already bubbly head even more shattered.
Qin Zhaoxian tried his best to control his temper and got up. He staggered downstairs, but fortunately Aunt Mei was perceptive and caught him just in time before he almost fell to the ground.
"Let's go downstairs and open the door." Qin Zhaoxian gritted his teeth and spat out these words. He knew in his heart that the problem had to be solved. If the problem of those people's lack of water was not solved, then he and Aunt Mei would soon be "dealt with" by those people.
And it's not certain that Mu Qingyu from next door will come to help.
After that day, Mu Qingyu didn't care about Aunt Mei at all, and even when she came to pick up her things, she didn't bother to look at Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei was startled: "Let them in? They...they..." They've become so fierce...
Qin Zhaoxian felt even more frustrated. But wasn't the very reason he targeted Aunt Mei in the first place because she was easy to fool? Now, he could only swallow this bitter pill himself.
Fortunately, although Aunt Mei was scared, she still did as Qin Zhaoxian instructed.
As soon as the downstairs door opened, those people rushed into the house in a flash, ignoring Qin Zhaoxian's shouts.
"Calm down—calm down and listen to me—" Qin Zhaoxian shouted hoarsely, but no one paid any attention to him.
Those people rushed into the house and began searching everywhere.
"Water filtration system! They have professional water filters here! The kind you see in factories!"
Soon someone spotted the water filtration device and shouted excitedly.
Some people even turned on the tap and drank the water directly from it.
Then people rushed over to grab the right to use the tap.
"Don't push, don't push! Go get something to put it in, go get something to put it in..." Some people still had some sense and shouted, but their cries were ignored, just like Qin Zhaoxian's.
At that moment, someone rushed straight to the second floor.
Normally, Qin Zhaoxian would have already launched his fireball, making an example of him. Unfortunately, his head was throbbing with pain, and his screaming had exhausted all his strength; he no longer had the energy to activate his special ability.
Qin Zhaoxian's unusual weakness gave those people the greatest courage, and they began to ruthlessly ransack the house!
Some people rushed to the second-floor storage room and looted all the remaining supplies.
They didn't even spare the bedroom.
Besides quilts and clothes, the bedroom also contained three heaters and three batteries that Mu Qingyu had sent over at the beginning of the apocalypse.
The battery was dead, but they still took it, just in case it might work.
The sunroom on the third floor was empty.
Mu Qingyu had also built a flower bed and added soil on the third floor of Building 4, but Aunt Mei hadn't planted anything since she moved in.
The solar generator was not installed in Building 4, and Building 4 has no other electrical appliances besides the heater.
