"When will the rain stop? It's been raining for three months." Tang Dan opened the curtains and looked at the gray sky outside where heavy rain was pouring down.
"We have supplies, so we don't have to worry about anything. We just need to keep the door closed."
Xin Fenlan said thankfully, "Many people outside are without water and food. If the country hadn't helped deliver supplies, who knows how chaotic the situation would be."
The two stood by the window, talking and looking outside.
The delivery of supplies may sometimes be late, and those who have the conditions can choose to pick them up themselves.
They are not short of these supplies for the time being, but they also need to inquire about the situation outside and be prepared with response strategies at any time.
"I'm back, I'm back."
Seeing the people on the kayak, Tang Dan pointed outside and said happily.
Not only An Jingzhi and his companions were sitting on the kayak, but also representatives from Brother Li's family, Grandpa Dao's family, and several other families.
Everyone looked unhappy, as if they were still frightened.
When they came back, someone immediately came forward to ask, "Did you get your things back?"
"Bring him back. He almost couldn't come back." Brother Li said with a look of fear on his face.
"It's really chaotic out here right now. We just received some supplies when we were immediately targeted. Luckily, everyone was armed and we happened to run into a police patrol. Otherwise, we might not have been able to get back."
Some were shocked and frightened. "Has it become so rampant? Why are they stealing other people's things? Won't the government provide them?"
"Who knows what these people are thinking? They must think the world is ending and want to be king."
Back home, An Jingzhi shared the news he had heard.
"It rained heavily for three months, and all the places that needed to be flooded have been flooded."
"We go out in the wind and rain every day, and many people are sick. We used to be able to buy medicine with our ID cards, but now we have nowhere to buy it."
He turned to look at Xin Ruoyao and said, "Take a break for a while, and take out the steel bars."
"Dad, let's install the steel bars overnight and seal this window, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
The group of people who intercepted them today drove two assault boats and had machetes in their hands. They were on the water, so if they were not careful, an accident might happen today.
Although he was eventually driven away by patrolling police, An Jingzhi still felt somewhat uneasy.
Originally his house was on the seventh floor and there were no anti-theft windows on the outside.
But now the water has reached the fourth floor, and the bad guys can just climb over the wall to the fifth floor and sneak up. Those with good skills can even step on the air conditioner outdoor unit to get to his window.
After dinner, Xin Ruoyao took out the pile of steel bars that An Jingzhi had saved from the space. An Jingzhi, Old Man An and Xin Ruoyao welded all the windows facing outwards with steel bars.
It does not affect the ventilation of the window and can also play a certain protective role.
After thinking about it, he also notified several other households.
Mr. Dao's family and the one across from him were the most dangerous. Since they didn't have much steel, they had to use local materials, dismantling whatever tables and chairs they could and nailing up the windows.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened so quickly. That day, An Jingzhi heard someone knocking on his window and cursing in his sleep.
There was also the roaring and banging of Mr. An's family downstairs, which woke up all the remaining residents in the building.
"The steel bars are dry? Damn it!" The steel bars sparked as the machete chopped them.
"Get out of here!" Old man An kept poking the other person with a stick in his hand.
The man outside tried to dodge, slashing angrily with one hand.
Xin Ruoyao glanced at the place where the man was standing outside, picked up the mop from the toilet, first dipped it in some dirty water from outside on the windowsill on the other side, then picked up the mop and quickly put it on the man's face.
The other person couldn't dodge in time and could only use his other hand to pull the mop off his face.
Suddenly, I took a breath and inhaled some dirty water into my mouth and nose, but it couldn't go in, so I could only leave cursing.
After a few minutes, there were knocks on the door.
The few of them just let the people outside rage helplessly and did not open the door.
Ruoyao pulled out a loud speaker from her spaceship, "There are robbers! There are robbers! Everyone, pay attention! Robbers have entered the building! If you have weapons, grab them!"
The sound of the loudspeaker instantly spread throughout the entire corridor, even the people next door could hear it, and it even alarmed the patrolling assault team.
Several people were startled by the sudden sound of the horn. Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, they retreated in a hurry.
By the time the patrol team of assault boats arrived, the people had long disappeared. They could only comfort everyone with a few words and ask them to be more vigilant.
There is really limited manpower.
"When did you prepare this loud speaker?"
After returning home, An Jingzhi asked curiously.
"I met a fruit seller when I went out to refuel. I bought the loudspeaker while buying the fruit." Xin Ruoyao said calmly.
Although she didn't catch the gang, the dirty water accumulated on her mop for three months was enough to give them a hard time, especially during this period of shortage of medical care and medicine.
After struggling for so many years after the natural disaster, Xin Ruoyao is no longer a person who follows the rules.
If order hadn't been maintained, what she stretched out wouldn't have been a dirty mop.
…
The next day, everyone gathered together to discuss what happened last night. Everyone was still feeling scared but also a little relieved.
Fortunately, they reinforced the windows last night, otherwise the person outside would have broken in through the window.
A woman in the hallway said fearfully, "That group of people looked ferocious, and each of them had a knife in their hands. I even saw blood on one person's knife. It was so scary."
