Chapter 115: Not Scared (23)
After confirming that Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe had food, Ling Jiang and Lao Gao breathed a sigh of relief. "Great! I was just wanting to discuss what to do if we're out of food. It's great that you have supplies. We can trade with you, or we can keep a record of them and return them to you after the rain stops and we get supplies."
Ling Jiang also agreed with this approach. "Yes, even if you have supplies, they were all purchased with money. We won't take them for free. We'll exchange some with you in some way."
"good."
Sharing is sharing, but Lan Jin has never thought of giving away supplies for free. The fact that these people took the initiative to offer it has saved her a lot of trouble.
And just like Ling Jiang said, no matter how many supplies she has, they were all bought with money before. Why should she give them away for free? It's good to have a system of borrowing and returning like this, which can save time and create resentment over time.
The material problem has been solved, and the only thing left is the safety issue.
"I don't know how long this rain will last. The water level is so high and no one is doing anything about it." Huang Jinghe looked at the water level outside and his heart was pounding.
If it were in the past, Lan Jin would definitely answer firmly in her heart that the heavy rain period would only last for three months, and when the flood reached the 18th floor, the disaster would be over, and then she would die.
But at this moment she really didn't know the answer, but at least it wouldn't flood more than 30 floors.
Right.
I think so.
However, the week-long rainstorm disrupted their previous plans.
Lao Gao said, "We were talking about stocking up on other supplies, but I'm afraid we can't do that now. Besides, the weather is getting colder."
"It's supposed to be cold in January. You should wear more clothes at home. What if you catch a cold in those clothes? There's nowhere to buy cold medicine right now." Ling Jiang said with a look of disgust.
The temperature outside is 5-7 degrees, which is the season for wearing cotton-padded jackets. However, Lao Gao is only wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt. He looks really cold. If the temperature drops further, he should put on Lan Jin's down jacket.
Of course, her Rancho Qiao is already wearing a down jacket, but there are definitely some differences between adults and children.
But no matter how different they are, Lao Gao wears less, that's all.
He looked at his own clothes, then at the clothes on the three people opposite him. Well, he should just put on one more piece of clothing.
…
Since Su Han's death, Qian Jun, another middle-aged man on the 18th floor, has become the new leader of the building.
Qian Jun is not like Su Han, who is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and is timid and hesitant when doing things.
His personality is just the opposite. After Su Han's death, he started to do what he said, but his initial target was the vulnerable groups in the building.
Qian Jun doesn't care about others. He just wants to eat when he is hungry. He doesn't care who starves to death. He just wants to eat his fill first.
But there was only so much food in the building, and he hadn't had a full meal in a long time. After only two days, all the food was consumed.
At this moment, he had to think about the 32nd and 33rd floors again.
But everyone was still frightened by what happened last time. "Brother Qian, we had so many people last time and we couldn't win. How can we win now?"
It feels like it's no different from giving away heads. Do they really need to come here to get beaten?
But if they don't come to the door, they will have no food. Qian Jun said as a matter of course: "Then we will just wait to starve to death at home."
Immediately, Qian Jun encouraged some people who were willing to follow him, and went upstairs without wasting a moment with weapons in their hands.
Qian Jun and his men had learned their lesson after suffering losses. They knew that they would not be able to win by force, but if there were only two of them instead of four, would they have a chance?
Speaking of only two people, women are definitely weaker than men, so their target is naturally Ling Jiang and Lan Jin on the 32nd floor.
Plus, Lan Jin has a dog at home——
Dog meat is so delicious.
Qian Jun's group consisted of twelve people, and it was impossible for them all to fit into the corridor on the 32nd floor. Therefore, he left two people outside the emergency passage door and two more people guarding inside the emergency passage door. The four of them blocked the door from the inside and outside to prevent people upstairs from coming down to help.
Then the remaining 8 people would deal with the two women, and Qian Jun felt that there should be some hope.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as they had imagined. As they were opening the door to the emergency exit, Nana noticed movement in the corridor. Lan Jin picked up the intercom and immediately notified the other three. However, the extremely vigilant Ling Jiang had already been standing at the door, on guard. Upon hearing Lan Jin's message, Ling Jiang said, "Sister, it was too late for you to warn me."
Lao Gao asked casually on the intercom, "Do you need me to come down and help?"
"No need. The corridor is so small. You are so big. It will be troublesome if you come down. Lan Jin, don't come out either. You will be in the way."
After saying that, Qian Jun slammed the doors of their homes and shouted, "Listen up, everyone inside! I'm your downstairs neighbor. I have five minutes to hand over all the food in your house, or I'll come and rob you."
"You have elderly and children at home, even if there's a dog. So what? I've brought over a dozen people up here, and the door to the emergency passage is blocked. Even if you want help upstairs, you have to open that door first. So be obedient and hand over the food. I can still leave you a chance to live."
Ling Jiang sneered, "I don't need you to keep me alive."
After saying that, she opened the door and rushed out without hesitation.
Ling Jiang was the first to snatch the weapon from Qian Jun who was at the front of the team, and then he exerted all his strength. In just one minute, all ten people, including the gatekeepers in the corridor, fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
Ling Jiang stood opposite, feeling a little doubtful. She hadn't been that ruthless. Were these people so weak?
Qian Jun watched Ling Jiang easily deal with them and cursed him angrily. However, before he could finish his curse, his open mouth stopped in mid-air.
From where he looked, he happened to see Lan Jin's expressionless face, but that was not the point. The point was that she was holding a wooden rifle in her hand, and this rifle was pointing precisely in their direction.
In the past, if you asked him to believe that Lan Jin had this thing, he would never believe it. But during the last fight, among the four people, Lan Jin was the one who attacked the lightest but injured the most. This also forced him to be cautious when facing Mu Cang.
Qian Jun said in a trembling voice: "Don't try to scare me with this. I'm not afraid of being scared."
"Whether I'm trying to scare you or not, you'll know if you try." Lan Jin took a step forward. Qian Jun didn't dare to try it. He was frightened and stepped back repeatedly, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We know we were wrong. Please let us go. We won't do it again."
