Jiang Ning ignored them and looked at the round stainless steel ornament on the ground. It must have fallen from the body. It happened to be the pass to Lian Haoting.

Lu Yu and Zhang Chao thought it was useless and didn't take it.

Jiang Ning squatted down and picked it up. It looked like a backpack ornament. It was probably obtained from a factory and then distributed to members.

Back upstairs, Zheng Weili opened the door immediately after hearing the noise. She was startled to see the two people coming back together. "Why did you come back so late? Did you get any news?"

Seeing that Huo Yishen didn't say anything, Jiang Ning nodded and said, "I just walked out of the community not far away, and happened to see a team collecting protection food, so I quietly followed them and found that they entered Lian Haoting."

After listening to her story, Zheng Weili was shocked, "You mean, their lair is in the community?"

Lian Haoting is very large, with more than 20 residential buildings alone. How many people are there here?

Did this gang develop from the residents of the community, or was it occupied by the evil forces outside?

If it was occupied, are the original residents still alive?

Not only did they collect protection rations, they also went directly into the homes of survivors to rob them under the guise of going out to collect supplies.

This is also the reason why the 18th floor was targeted.

Zhang Chao and Lu Yu's heads were buzzing. They thought there were at most dozens of gangsters, but who knew...

There were only 5 people on the 18th floor who were capable of fighting. Even if they were cut into pieces, it would not be enough for them to fill their teeth.

So, they subconsciously looked at Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen, "What should we do next?"

What should we do? The worst case scenario is to just give up.

Jiang Ning pretended to be stupid and looked at Huo Yishen next to him.

Being cared for by everyone, Huo Yishen thought for a while, "Don't be impulsive, I'll go check it out tomorrow."

I didn't sleep on the 18th floor, and I was even more scared on the 17th floor.

Zhong's mother was scared to death, "Mom, when I came back just now, I almost stepped on a corpse on the 16th floor, and the door downstairs was also smashed. What happened?"

She thought there was a disaster at home, but fortunately her mother-in-law was unharmed.

Today was a surprise, but Grandma Zhong was still frightened.

She sighed and stopped, saying, "Something bad has happened." After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Zhong's mother was stunned for a long time. "Is Zeng Nianlun crazy? He said that we would face difficulties together, but he was just a coward, and he stabbed me in the back?"

And the Xu family in 1702, I really misjudged them at the beginning.

"Mom, what should we do now?"

Zhong's mother was worried. Her husband and son were both in the unit, and she and her mother-in-law were the only ones left at home. If the 18th floor really didn't care about their lives, what would happen to their family?

These two rotten apples ruined the whole pot of soup.

"There's no point in being afraid. You've been busy all day. Go take a shower and go to bed early. We'll think about what to do tomorrow."

Grandma Zhong didn't close her eyes. After making sure her daughter-in-law was asleep, she tiptoed to the kitchen to heat a pot of water.

She opened the door and poured the water into the crack of 1702's door.

The weather was extremely cold, and the water quickly froze into ice.

Grandma Zhong stood in the aisle and sighed deeply in the dark.

It didn't matter whether she lived or died, but she couldn't leave the hidden danger to her children.

It was enough for her to live to this day. Many people younger than her died before her, but the children were still young, especially Zhong Ping, who had just graduated and found a job and had not yet married and had children.

Alas, when will the natural disaster end?

After calming down, Grandma Zhong closed the door and went back to her room. She wrapped herself in a quilt and didn't sleep all night.

…

I was half asleep when I was woken up by the banging noises downstairs.

People and dogs are used to it, as long as they don’t pry open the door on the 18th floor.

I wrapped myself in the quilt and covered my head, and continued to sleep.

When Jiang Ning woke up, she heard a noise in the corridor. She opened the door and found Lu Yu listening to the noise downstairs. "What's wrong?"

Lu Yu smiled twice. "The Xu family in 1702 refused to open the door yesterday. Today, I don't know what happened. They suddenly moved."

Jiang Ning didn't care. "I guess they are afraid that the gang will come back for revenge and worry about getting involved."

"It's better to move away, so there won't be more people stabbing you in the back."

Lu Yu told her what he heard. "I just heard Grandma Zhong say hello to them. It seems that the Xu family is moving to the shelter."

Yes, in response to the unprecedented cold wave in the south, the government re-planned the shelter.

Houses in the south have no heating, so they can only use the most primitive heating method.

A large number of survivors gathered in the shelter. The dense crowds of people made it warm, but the place was filled with all kinds of smells. It was difficult to stretch out one's arms and legs, let alone lie down to sleep or take a hot shower.

People would collapse if they didn't sleep, but when they woke up, they might have nothing left except themselves.

The landlords didn't have any food left, not to mention the large number of people in the city, so the nature of the refugees was to provide temporary financial support and to limit the number of survivors who came in. It was stipulated that all survivors who came in had only one month's right to live there.

After the expiration of the period, they could only go to the public heating area, which was only heated during the day. When the heating was turned off at night, people would be frozen into icicles.

Therefore, many people would rather go out to collect relief food, go up the mountain to chop firewood for warmth, rather than go to the shelter, at least there are quilts at home, and they can sleep by burning firewood.

Lu Yu asked Jiang Ning, "Only the Zhong family is left on the 17th floor, what should we do now?"

"We talked it out before the Zhong family moved in."

Jiang Ning had no expression, "Now everywhere is dangerous, let's see how the Zhong family protects themselves, don't put your hopes on us."

The people on the 18th floor are human, not gods, and they don't know how long they can live.

While chatting, Huo Yishen opened the door and walked out, "Aning, are you going to check the place today?"

Huo Yishen was not from Fengcheng, and he didn't even know where Lian Haoting was. It just so happened that Jiang Ning wanted to check it out again, so he nodded and agreed.

To visit a location, you need to be low-key. Jiang Ning put on old clothes. Huo Yishen was also low-key, but...

well, he was too tall, with a good body proportion and a pair of long legs. No matter how low-key he was, he would still stand out.

Jiang Ning was curious, "How tall are you?"

"189."

This height is outstanding in the north, let alone in the south, it is really an eye-catching existence in the crowd.

Jiang Ning was a little worried, "How about I go by myself?"

Huo Yishen's mouth twitched slightly, "It's okay, I won't hold you back."

At this point, Jiang Ning didn't know what to say. Anyway, he was very skilled and would not be trapped even if he was discovered.

So, the two were handed over to 1803 to raise.

The demons have been raised, and the survivors of Jinrong Community have trained their eyes to be sharp. Even if the two disguised themselves in a low-key manner, they were still recognized.

No one dared to approach them.

The truth will come out sooner or later, and the gunfight yesterday has spread.

Although they were afraid, they were particularly united this time. Without exception, they all hoped that they could win, even if this idea was unrealistic.

The 18th floor is evil, but as long as you don't provoke them, they don't harvest heads or collect protection food.

If you kill those who collect protection food, they can also make some points. After all, there are only a few people on the 18th floor, how much can they eat?

Unfortunately, Jiang Ningsi has no idea what they are thinking.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't care. They are just a group of people who like to take advantage of the big tree.

If you want to count on them, you'd better go to bed early. Dreams will make your wishes come true.
