Chapter 11
They are not the only ones on the 26th floor.

If the escape passage is blocked with cement, how will Yuan Chuan's family and the college students renting in 2603 go out?

Wen Qizhou sighed helplessly: "That's just more disinfection." They did have sticky mouse boards, but they definitely couldn't stick them all.

"En." Chi Yue raised her hand, put her fingertips on the center of his brows, and smoothed those frowning brows: "At this stage, the natural disaster has just begun, and there will be no plague yet, don't worry."

Wen Qizhou's brows stretched.

He hugged Chi Yue's slender waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder: "How do you know I'm thinking about the plague?"

"I can read minds."

"so smart?"

Chi Yue raised her chin: "Of course."

That pretentious appearance made Wen Qizhou unable to hold back his laughter for a moment, and the worries in his heart disappeared.

He followed her words and said, "Then read again what I'm thinking about now?"

Chi Yue turned her head and met his eyes.

She narrowed the distance between them, and under his suspicious eyes, kissed his side cheek lightly: "You want me to kiss you."

Wen Qizhou was slightly stunned by the warm and soft touch, and his slow heartbeat beat in his ears like a drum in an instant.

This is the first time Chi Yue kissed him.

It was difficult for him to describe the feeling at this moment, he only felt that the skin touched by her became hotter and hotter.

"It's getting late." Chi Yue couldn't stand his burning eyes, and pushed him with a blushing face: "You go take a bath first."

"Hmm." Wen Qizhou responded abruptly.

He went to the bathroom with his hands and feet, quickly washed off the stickiness all over his body, and went to bed again to hug his warm and fragrant nephrite.

Two hearts beating at different frequencies, because the impulsive kiss is getting closer.

The couple, who thought they would suffer from insomnia, felt the familiar breath of each other, and were soon urged to fall asleep by sleepiness.

A night without dreams.

*
They slept soundly in a warm atmosphere, but many residents were terrified, cursing and tormenting all night.

Swarms of rats and cockroaches dealt a heavy blow to families who forgot to block the sewers and did not close the doors and windows tightly.

When they "fight" with groups of rats and cockroaches, the number of unintentionally injured people gradually increases.

The screams rang out intermittently until dawn.

The first thing Chi Yue did when he woke up was to open the Big Eye communication software to get new information.

There are more and more netizens promoting eschatology, and there are endless posts about how to deal with zombies, animal and plant mutations, and natural disasters, and some people are teaching symbols and awakening abilities.

Out of curiosity, she looked around in turn.

Under the posts dealing with zombie mutation and awakening abilities, most of them are fantasizing about saving the world and dominating the world. They are purely abilities lovers carnival. Few people argue with them or refute the impossibility of them.

On the other hand, there are a lot of constructive speeches in the natural disaster response post, just pick up one or two, and it will come in handy.

Chi Yue watched with relish, and before she had time to scroll down, the words "network failure" popped up on the screen.

She quit the app and clicked on the calendar. She couldn't help but lament that the time passed so fast, and it was already June 23rd in a blink of an eye.

"Qizhou, there is no signal."

Wen Qizhou, who was collecting dirty clothes and was about to put them into the washing tub, paused.

The interruption of the signal did not affect them much. What he cared about was another question: "Will water and electricity still be supplied today?"

"I don't know." Chi Yue took out two hot breakfasts with her mind and put them on the square table: "I only remember that the water and electricity were cut off at the end of the month, and I can't remember the exact time."

"It's okay, I'll find out in the afternoon."

After breakfast, the couple studied and exercised according to the usual schedule, and then went to the bathroom for verification at one o'clock in the afternoon.

It turned out that the water and electricity were not cut off.

But the dramatic thing is that the washing tub and the air conditioner went on strike after less than 10 minutes of operation, and the water from the faucet stopped flowing.

This change caused wailing in the community, and the curses of the residents could be heard through the closed doors and windows.

Some people are hopeful, thinking that it is only a matter of time before the restoration of water and electricity supply; some people are full of fear, thinking that the situation is not optimistic, and they must plan for the future.

Yuan Chuan next door is the latter.

When the sun was setting, he took two cabbages and car keys and knocked on the door of 2601.

"Thank you all last night." He stuffed the cabbage to Wen Qizhou: "My wife planted it, you take it and eat it."

Wen Qizhou was not polite to him.

In the current situation, the relationship between the two companies will last longer only if there are exchanges, and unilateral payment is not advisable.

"Has sister-in-law ever grown vegetables before?" He led Yuan Chuan into the house, held the cabbage in his hand and said, "It grows really well."

"No, she followed the book to school."

"I'm also learning to grow vegetables recently." In order to deceive others, Chi Yue deliberately vacated the flower pots at home, and sprinkled a few seeds in front of the French windows: "This batch hasn't germinated yet."

"Is your food still enough? If not, I'll go home and get some."

"Enough, we've stocked up on food."

Wen Qizhou turned on the two fans in the living room to the maximum, and poured him a glass of water: "How is uncle?"

"It's pretty good." He stared at the water in the paper cup, frowning worriedly: "I don't think there will be any water supply in the future, so save it and don't take it out to entertain people."

"It's all down." Wen Qizhou stuffed the paper cup to him like he stuffed cabbage for himself: "Don't think too much, if it doesn't work, we can go to the river to pick up a few buckets of water."

There is a river near the TV tower, which is the closest to them, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk.

What Yuan Chuan could think of was also the river.

His expression became strange: "The water in that river is too dirty, full of corpses and rubbish, I don't know how many bacteria there are, even if it is boiled, there is no way to enter it!"

"Where did the body come from?"

"Don't you know?" He drank his saliva reluctantly: "The police just salvaged two dismembered corpses from the river last week, and they haven't found out who the dead are yet."

Chi Yue would not respond: "What are you afraid of after you fish it out? The purifier filters it twice, and you can drink even the dirtiest water."

While Yuan Chuan admired her strong psychological quality, she also felt that she was too hypocritical.

He took a deep breath, trying to overcome the discomfort in his heart, and said: "The key is that there is no filter in my house."

Wen Qizhou: "Buy at zero yuan."

Yuan Chuan: "... tonight?"

The change in people is only temporary. He heard that zero yuan purchases would be bound by morality before, but now he only has expectations.

"Go to the supermarket first tonight." He raised his wrist and glanced at the time on the dial: "If it's still open, spend money to buy it."

"Okay, I'll come and see you at eight o'clock."

As soon as he left, Chi Yue, who was hot and hungry, turned off the electric fan, took Wen Qizhou's hand, and returned to the air-conditioned room in two or three steps.

She scanned the space consciously, looking at the food in the still area: "Qizhou, do you want crayfish or hot pot?"

"crayfish."

"Then I'll get some barbecue." The barbecue and crayfish packed in a tinfoil plastic box immediately caught their eyes.

A domineering aroma permeated the air.

Wen Qizhou put on disposable gloves, squeezed the shrimp head to peel off the shell, and then fed it to Chi Yue: "How does it taste?"

"Delicious!" She inserted the straw into the can of Coke and put it in front of him: "I peel it myself, you can eat it quickly."

Crayfish should be eaten while it is hot.

Once cooled, the taste and meat quality will change, and the deliciousness and fullness of the entrance will easily be greatly reduced.

They nest in an air-conditioned room with a moderate temperature, drink iced cola, and eat shrimp while skewering.

The cozy atmosphere was in stark contrast to the outside world, as if they had never been in the ever-changing natural disasters, but were enjoying an ordinary evening.

*
When night fell, the three people who agreed to go out together walked slowly down following the light from the flashlight.

There are many rats and cockroaches in the corridor.

Hearing their footsteps, the mouse ran away, leaving only the cockroaches that could be trampled to death dangling around.

They were halfway through cleaning when they suddenly heard extremely noisy sounds from downstairs, as if many people were arguing.

"Brother Zhou?" Walking to the third floor, Zhong Chen and his girlfriend Zhou Wenwen appeared around the corner: "Where are you going?"

Wen Qizhou paused slightly: "Supermarket."

"The supermarket is closed." He told them the information he had just received: "The official said that supplies will be distributed uniformly."

"When will it be released?"

"On Mondays and Fridays, at [-]:[-] p.m., they drop supplies by helicopter on the rooftops of each building."

"Isn't today Monday?" Yuan Chuan approached the railing next to him and looked down: "No wonder the downstairs is so noisy."

"Let's go upstairs first." Zhou Wenwen's eyes wandered around the couple, her delicate face raised a smile: "Going to the rooftop early can take a good seat."

Chi Yue remained silent.

She heard footsteps coming from downstairs, turned around and took Wen Qizhou's arm, and stepped on the stairs in front of her again.

Not long after they arrived at the rooftop, the residents of Building No. 2 walked upstairs one after another, informed by neighbors and friends.

Young people, old and young, flocked to the wide open space like a tide, and scattered in various areas in groups of threes and twos. Occasionally, when they met acquaintances, they would say hello and chat for a while.

Nearly a hundred people, blowing the hot summer evening wind, counted the time, looking forward to the appearance of the helicopter delivering supplies.

At a quarter past nine, the sound of the propeller turning came from a distance, and the army green helicopter then hovered in the sky.

Residents tacitly leave open space.

When the huge wooden box fell steadily and the helicopter flew to another building, two people stepped forward eagerly.

"Don't squeeze!" said the middle-aged woman with a loudspeaker in her hand, "It says on the wooden box that each family can get four bottles of mineral water, four bags of instant noodles and two bags of compressed biscuits."

"Nothing else?"

"Isn't this fooling people? How long can four bottles of water and four bags of instant noodles last? It's not enough for a large family!"

"He divides it so little, why not let us buy it in the supermarket, even if the purchase is restricted, it is better than the current situation."

"I suggest that mineral water be divided by head! This is the most fair, and everyone can drink water."

"I don't agree! It's written clearly on the basis of family division, why change it? Are you crazy to take advantage?"
