Chapter 95: Hitting a Wall (33)
This girl was the one who had contact with Huang Jinghe when they went downstairs to queue up for supplies during the poisonous fog period.
At the beginning, this girl was in front of the two of them in the queue, but they only chatted a few words at that time and had no contact after that, so they were not even acquaintances. Why did they think of making friends with her? She just moved in to live in her house. Does she feel at ease?
And the woman at 701 just now, she clearly had no connection with these two people. How did they know her house number? They came one after the other. Did they discuss it beforehand, or were they instructed by someone else?
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that the problem was serious.
…
The girl outside the door saw her open the door. She first smiled anxiously, then said with a pitiful face, "Sister, hello, I live on the 12th floor. I live alone at home. Many people knocked on my door in the middle of the night. I'm a little scared. Can I move in with you?"
"no."
The girl was surprised by Lan Jin's unwavering refusal, but she was unwilling to give up. She said nervously, "Sister, please, I'm really scared living alone at home. I promise not to bother you. I'll bring my own food and drinks, so you don't have to worry about me. I just want to keep you company."
"There should be other people living alone like you in this building. Go find them. It's not convenient for me here."
Lan Jin ignored the water and food the girl presented to her, frowned and firmly refused.
Perhaps Nana sensed her displeasure, and she immediately rushed to the door and shouted at the girl outside for a long time, scaring the girl so much that she stepped back repeatedly. Her face was filled with fear, shyness, and grievance, and anyone who saw her would think that Lan Jin had bullied her.
Judging from that expression, anyone who doesn't want to cause trouble would not let anyone in.
Lan Jin said, "You see, I have a dog at home. It's very fierce. It doesn't like outsiders to be around. It's really inconvenient for you to come over. What if it bites it? I just happened to be out of dog food. Do you want to feed it?"
The girl outside the door kept shaking her head. She was obviously very scared, but her steps were trembling and she was unwilling to leave.
Tears streamed down the girl's face, and her soft sobs soon attracted the attention of the woman in Room 3204. She first opened the security door, then leaned against it, making sarcastic remarks. "Oh, the little girl is so pitiful. She just asked you to take her in, and she didn't do anything else. She even brought her own food. How can you be so cruel? You have no sympathy at all."
"You are so compassionate, so take her in." After saying that, Lan Jin ignored the two men and slammed the door shut again.
But the woman in Room 3204 was not a good person. If she let the girl live in her house, what if she got involved with her husband? After Lan Jin closed the door, she naturally closed the door quickly as well, for fear that the girl would turn around and beg her.
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, the girl living alone on the 12th floor went downstairs with red eyes. In the emergency passage, she bumped into the woman from 701.
Both of them were single women who were rejected by Lan Jin. After comforting each other, they became companions. The woman in 701 moved to the 12th floor.
Although the 12th floor is not as high as the 32nd floor, it is still better than the 7th floor of her own house, so she feels much more at ease living there now.
As for these two people living together, Lan Jin felt that it was far from as optimistic as it seemed. The girl on the 12th floor was no match for the one on the 701st floor. If anything really happened, I'm afraid the girl on the 12th floor would be the first one to be sold by her.
Another thing is, judging from the appearance of the woman in 701, she was afraid that this person didn’t even have food.
In short, whoever's house you enter will suffer.
But none of this is her business. If the rainy season really comes, the situation will only get worse. It would be fine if these people don't provoke her. If something really happens, she will definitely kill them quietly to reduce her own troubles.
Don’t blame her for being cruel. If she wasn’t cruel in the end times, she would be the one who died.
…
After being rejected twice, he knew that there was no hope for her family, so he stopped.
But after her family quieted down, other families became lively again.
For example, Huang Jinghe, who also lives alone, and Lao Gao, who also lives alone.
But compared to Huang Jinghe, the muscular old Gao family is obviously both dangerous and safe.
Danger refers to Lao Gao, and safety also refers to Lao Gao.
But neither Huang Jinghe nor Lao Gao would let strangers into their homes, so naturally they ran into a wall at their homes.
But for them at the moment, encountering setbacks is just a small matter. When it comes to life safety, isn't food more important?
So as soon as they solved the accommodation problem, they started to think about the food problem.
…
Two days later, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a warm smile knocked on all the doors on their floor.
Hearing the sound of other doors opening outside, Lan Jin also slowed down and opened the door inside her own house.
Although the doors of all three households were open, no one spoke first. Almost everyone looked at the man in the aisle with scrutiny.
The man outside the door smiled at them and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm the building manager of Building 12. I'm here to notify everyone to come to my home on the 6th floor for a simple meeting."
After the man finished speaking, he saw that the door of 3201 had not been opened yet, so he pointed in that direction and asked, "Is there no one living in this house?"
The woman in 3204 pursed her lips and replied, "This household is occupied by a newlywed couple. They moved in when the first batch of people moved into the base."
Knowing that no one lived in 3201, the man didn't say much. He looked at them and continued, "My name is Su Han. I volunteered during the poisonous fog and was later appointed the building manager of Building 12. I'm here to gather the remaining residents of our building for a meeting to discuss our food needs."
When the woman in 3204 heard about the food issue, she asked excitedly, "What's wrong? Has the relief food arrived?"
"No, we haven't received any news of rescue efforts. But precisely because of this, we should unite and save each other. Please come to the 6th floor at 3 pm. We can talk about food."
What's there to talk about? When the woman in 3204 heard there was no rescue imitation, she immediately turned hostile. "You don't want other people to take out their own food and give it to others, right? Isn't it enough for you to eat your own food? What's there to talk about?"
"Besides the food issue, we can talk about other things. We all live together, and we don't want to see our neighbors starve to death."
