Chapter 12

Sister He, who was surrounded in the middle, listened to the noisy voice, and raised her horn to make them quiet to the side and line up.

She works in the street office, and she was the one who notified the news of the distribution of supplies. The group of people who were arguing were not stupid, and they didn't want to offend anyone, so they quickly fell silent.

Sister He cleared her throat: "There must be a reason for the official arrangement. We follow the rules and divide up how we want. There is no need to hurt our peace because of this!"

"I know it's not easy for everyone, but the difficulties are temporary! If you lack water or food, you can exchange things with your neighbors. Let's help each other, and we will get better soon!"

Someone echoed loudly: "Sister He is right! As long as we get through this period of time, will we still worry about running out of water?"

The atmosphere is no longer tense.

There are quite a few people who have been encouraged, but the residents who are silent and hold an optimistic attitude still account for the majority.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou kept a low profile, neither participated nor refuted, and called Yuan Chuan to leave the rooftop as soon as they got the supplies.

Unexpectedly, they were still targeted.

"Xiaowen." The slightly shorter old lady with shrewd eyes pulled her grandson to stop them.

She smiled wrinkledly: "Can you lend me two bottles of water? My grandson needs to drink milk powder every day, and there is not enough water at home."

Chi Yue raised her eyebrows: "You are?"

"My surname is Wang, and I live on the sixteenth floor." Mrs. Wang knew that she had been married for less than half a year, so it was normal for her to be incomplete.

She acted like an elder: "You are married to the right person! Xiaowen is very kind-hearted and has helped me several times."

"So, do you want to kidnap him with kindness and morality? Let him give you the water that you can't buy for nothing?"

"I'm wronged! What I just said was borrowing! It's not that I didn't pay it back. How did it become a moral kidnapping from your mouth?"

Chi Yue sneered.

Before she could speak again, Wen Qizhou, who was asked for mineral water, asked calmly, "How long will the loan be? How will the interest be paid?"

"You still want interest on two bottles of water?!"

"Mineral water is now worth more than RMB, shouldn't interest be charged? Could it be that you still want to do nothing?"

Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded.

She was the one who borrowed it, and she couldn't change her words in front of them. She changed her mind and immediately pushed her grandson out.

The boy who received "education" at home stepped forward and hugged Wen Qizhou's thigh: "Uncle, I want to drink milk powder!"

He was clearly at the age of elementary school, yet he asked for milk powder every time he took a mouthful, as if he was too spoiled by his family.

"It's not my business?"

"I want water." Seeing that being cute is useless, he took out his usual routine: "If you don't give it to me, I will cry for you!"

"It's up to you." Wen Qizhou had no patience for the badly taught child, and pushed the other's hand away with a cold face.

The little kid started crying as soon as he said "Wow".

Mrs. Wang sang again, putting her arms around her grandson shamelessly: "Xiaowen, you have to give me an explanation today! Otherwise, you will never stop beating and crying my grandson!"

"Crack—"

Chi Yue slapped her across the face, clutched her collar, and said with dark eyes: "Is this enough?"

"You, you bastard, dare to hit me?" Mrs. Wang, who was slapped in the face by a junior for the first time, tried to pull Chi Yue's hair in vain.

Dazed by anger, she didn't even realize that she was not Chi Yue's opponent.

After a moment of arrogance and arrogance, Chi Yue slapped him on the ground several times, and he was powerless to fight back.

"Why don't you continue to scold?" Chi Yue let go of the other party's collar and said with a smile, "I thought you were so capable."

The dizzy old lady Wang didn't speak.

The grandson standing behind her, seeing her in such a mess, was too scared to approach her, let alone cry.

"What's the situation?" Four college students living in 2603 went downstairs with supplies, and a girl with shoulder-length short hair looked at Chi Yue reproachfully: "How can you beat an old man?"

"She's a bitch."

"...No matter what unpleasantness you have, it's wrong to do it." She said, bending down to help him up.

Wen Qizhou clearly noticed that there was a flash of disgust in the other party's eyes looking at Chi Yue.

He frowned those clear and juan eyebrows: "You know the whole picture of the whole thing? Don't you think it's ridiculous to just open your mouth to preach?"

"Even if it's her fault, you guys are too ruthless, right? At her age, what if something goes wrong?"

"Isn't there you?" He gently kneaded Chi Yue's wrist, and said in a sarcastic tone, "You can take care of her."

"you……"

"Little girl, mind your own business." Yuan Chuan really couldn't understand her attitude of unilaterally judging right from wrong, and raised his jaw towards the corridor window: "Our place is not near the sea."

The short-haired girl's face flushed red.

Her boyfriend and another couple were tactfully persuading her, and Mrs. Wang kept saying "Ouch", so she ignored the argument and began to ask Mrs. Wang how she was feeling.

"Old lady, let me take you home." She supported the other party, intentionally using their "evil" to set off her own kindness.

Chi Yue didn't even give her a look.

She greeted Yuan Chuan, pulled Wen Qizhou, who was still rubbing her wrists, away from the corridor, and went home to turn on the air conditioner.

"Yueyue." Wen Qizhou put the squeezed juice in front of Chi Yue, lowered his eyes and asked, "How was their previous life?"

"Looks dead?"

They didn't have a generator in their previous life, so when Sui City lost power, they followed the residents of other buildings to the subway station to escape the heat.

When the rainstorm came back, many residents of Yujingwan were missing, and she had never seen Mrs. Wang and the short-haired girl.

Chi Yue slumped on the lazy sofa: "The situation is different now. I really don't know what will happen to them in the future, but that girl will definitely be picked up by Mrs. Wang."

"Picking off a layer of skin is considered light." He ate the unsqueezed apple: "It's too easy to cause trouble with her personality."

Messy, judgmental people are prone to accidents in peacetime, let alone now.

Many people looked calm on the surface, but in fact, there was a firecracker buried in their hearts, and they would explode at any moment.

It's really annoying, but no one wants to listen to long-winded truths, and a "sorry" can't solve the problem.

"That's what she deserves." Chi Yue has never sympathized with people who can't figure it out, let alone the short-haired girl who has malice towards her.

She glanced at the clock on the wall, saw that it was still early, and said to him softly: "I kind of want to watch a movie."

"What genre do you want to see?"

"comedy."

Wen Qizhou inserted the USB flash drive of downloaded movies and TV dramas into the projector, turned off the lights in the bedroom, and looked for a comedy to watch.

The title song filled the entire bedroom.

They gradually immersed themselves in it, and sometimes they were amused by the plot, they were very relaxed, and the bad things were forgotten.

*
The beaten Mrs. Wang didn't come up to make trouble, and kept a strange harmony with them as if nothing happened.

Yujingwan is also a friendly and peaceful state.

Until Friday when the supplies were distributed, the "rats" hiding in the dark took advantage of the residents' absence to do immoral things like picking locks and stealing, the so-called friendship and peace no longer existed.

"Mom—"

There was a shrill cry from the 19th floor.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou, who were about to go home, heard the grief in each other's cries, and hurried downstairs to check the situation.

The door of 1903's room was open, and the gray-haired old lady was lying beside the shoe cabinet, with a fruit knife stuck in her chest, and the carpet was completely stained red by the blood gushing out from her body.

Behind her is the messed up living room, the tables and chairs are tilted, and the rice grains sprinkled on the ground can be vaguely seen.

After a little thought, one can guess that the old lady was probably killed after fighting with others after being robbed.

Her son was sobbing.

The neighbors who followed the sound were terrified when they saw the old lady's tragic death.

"Who did it? Who did this?!" The friend who made good friends with the old lady rushed over, crying and cursing at the top of his voice: "This is a life! Is there any law?"

"You guys wait for me! I'll go to the police tomorrow, and I'll definitely catch you bastards!"

The atmosphere became more and more heavy.

Wen Qizhou, who was facing the dead for the first time, couldn't bear to look any more, held Chi Yue's hand tightly, and walked upstairs without saying a word.

When he got home, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, listening to the roar from the buildings opposite, took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette.

Chi Yue stared at his back.

Thinking back to her previous life, the first time she saw someone being killed, she felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't even sleep well.

He was also having a hard time.

But he didn't say a word, he digested the uneasiness about the future alone, and stayed with her every step of the way to help her adjust her mentality.

It can be said that if he hadn't provided so much emotional value in the early stage and taught her to be tough, it would be impossible for her to survive for so long in the cannibalistic apocalypse by herself.

"Pray for a boat." Chi Yue stepped forward to hug him, and looked up into those deep eyes: "Can you have a drink with me?"

This is to coax him.

Wen Qizhou turned his head to avoid her face, exhaled a wisp of smoke, and said "OK" with a smile.

Seeing that what she brought out was champagne instead of blood-like red wine, he once again felt her good intentions.

He took a sip of champagne, ignored what happened on the [-]th floor, and analyzed the situation: "The authorities should have collected water and food from the market. I guess they don't have much in stock. They will either decrease or not distribute it next Monday." gone."

Chi Yue nodded: "I guess so." After all, the whole world is suffering, and the country doesn't have enough food to save everyone.

After that, I can only rely on myself.

"After tonight, there will be more people coming out together to rob. We have to disguise when we go out, at least we can't be clean like we are now."

Wen Qizhou paused for two seconds: "There is still a door for the safe passage, even if it cannot be completely sealed, it must be reinforced."

"Got it." How could Chi Yue, who had a lifetime of experience, miss these details?If he doesn't mention it, she will mention it tonight.

Chi Yue leaned forward, slightly raised her arms and climbed up to his neck: "Qi Zhou, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Before he could deny it, she put on a serious look: "I don't want a husband who is bald at an early age."

Wen Qizhou: "..."

He was relieved instantly.

Don't dare to worry.
