Back to the end of the world: I rely on hundreds of millions of materials to lie down and win natura

Chapter 20 Rainstorm
It rained cats and dogs all night.

The outdoor temperature returned to normal at about 27 degrees Celsius, and the air was no longer as stuffy as before.

People took the rain as hope, a firm belief that order would soon be restored and the days of trepidation would end.

Those residents who went out to escape the summer also moved back with their families, waiting happily for the government to provide them with help.

The gang of robbers is also watching.

The members of their gang are not all heinous villains, and some of them have never hurt any residents so far.

Just because you haven't been hurt doesn't mean you're innocent.

They were afraid that the officials would settle their accounts after the fall, so they did not dare to be as rampant as before, and waited anxiously for the arrival of the disciples.

Waiting and waiting, until the rain flooded the first floor, until people could not go out on foot, and there was no sign of a helicopter, let alone the soldiers they were afraid to face.

Guessing that they probably won't be able to come, the gang regained their vitality and took the younger brother to "Fat Sheep"'s house to check in.

Even the shelved beauty trap is on the agenda.

Yao Chengwei, who was in charge of "seduction", was wandering in the corridor for the eighth time, and finally met the girl in a white dress who came to strike up a conversation.

"Hey." Yu Qingxi patted him on the shoulder, and jumped in front of him playfully: "Are you also here to throw garbage?"

Yao Chengxu turned his head.

He glanced at her indiscriminately, and had to admit that brother Zhou was right.

She was indeed his type.

"Yes." He raised his smiling face, as if he was unsuspecting of her: "Do you live upstairs? Why haven't I seen you?"

"Yes." Yu Qingxi said that she lived on the 28th floor: "It was too hot before, and I was afraid of accidentally getting sunstroke, so I seldom went out."

"It's really hot, I've been sunburned and peeled off."

"Is your arm peeling off?"

"There's still the back of the neck." Yao Chengwei raised his arm to show her, and said helplessly, "It may take a long time to recover."

"You put on some vitamin E milk."

"Does that work?"

"Yes." Yu Qingxi talked about the benefits of breast milk, and inadvertently leaned close to his arm, narrowing the distance between them.

Yao Chengwei pretended not to notice.

He chatted with Yu Qingxi for a while, exchanged names before parting, and agreed to throw out the trash together at this time tomorrow.

After repeating this for three days, Yu Qingxi's admiration became more obvious. He also pretended to fall in love with her at first sight, and treated her seriously with an attitude of preparing for a relationship.

When they handed over their "sincerity" to each other, the rain flooded the second floor, and the residents suffered so much that they had to move out with their families.

Fortunately, there are still vacant rooms on the sixth and seventh floors, so they don't have to worry about having no place to settle down, they are only anxious about the same problem.

──Their food surplus is about to bottom out.

It is known that everything below the second floor is submerged, and they cannot drive. Only boats can take them out to find supplies.

But who has a boat?
"Young man." An old lady pawed Yao Chengwei who was having a love affair in the corridor: "Do you have a boat on the 26th floor?"

"No."

"Then do you know who has it?"

Yao Chengwei shook his head.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be hiding something, Yu Qingxi kindly said to the aunt: "There may be people who like outdoor sports."

Ultimately, it's up to you to ask.

The aunt waved her hand, bowed her waist and went downstairs.

Not long after she disappeared around the corner, Yao Chengwei finished his emotional class and was busy discussing with Wen Qizhou and the others about the boat.

Five people sat on the sofa in 2601, and he made a suggestion: "I think you can use the bed board to make a simple boat."

"Quilts are also fine." Yuan Chuan watched others do it on the short video platform: "But there must be enough plastic wrap."

"That's worse than a bed board."

Hearing them talk about reinforced bed board boats, Chi Yue interrupted in time: "Don't be so troublesome, we have rubber boats at home."

"real?!!"

Zhao Peng slapped his thighs twice, so excited that he wanted to jump up: "How many people can that rubber boat of yours take?"

"Four or five."

"Great!" Yuan Chuan was also happy: "The rubber boat can row farther, and it will be more convenient for us to go out to find supplies and boats."

Chi Yue has no intention of going out for the time being.

She pretended to go into the storage room to get the boat: "There can be no one on the 26th floor. Qi Zhou and I are staying at home, you go find it first."

"It's fine." Yuan Chuan said that he would bring them another one when he came back: "If this thing is punctured by something in the water, it will not be easy to mend. We'd better prepare two for each family."

Yao Chengxu and Zhao Peng nodded immediately.

They've done water sports before, so they know where the boats are, and eagerly ask, "Shall we go tonight?"

"The visibility at night is too low." Wen Qizhou raised his chin facing the window: "I suggest you start tomorrow morning."

Traveling by boat is no better than keeping your feet on the ground.

The crises they will face are no longer limited to robbery gangs, but also the possibility of being hit by debris and animals in the water.

As soon as he thought of animals, he put on a serious expression and reminded the three of them: "Also, please don't go near the gymnasium."

"why?"

“The stadium is very close to Ocean Park.”

The three of them were confused and didn't understand what he wanted to express for a while, so Chi Yue asked, "What's in Ocean Park?"

"There are dolphins, sharks, crocodiles—I am! You mean, the animals in the Ocean Park have escaped?"

"Probably."

There is no shortage of water in the Ocean Park. Even if there is no breeder to feed them, they can still eat each other by killing each other.

Chi Yue was "fortunately" chased by the crocodile.

The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. If she hadn't smashed the oar on its head, she would have had an arm bitten off.

As far as I recall, I still feel terrified.

She picked up the glass: "But don't worry too much, as long as you don't go there, you won't be able to meet them for the time being."

"...What about after that?"

"It will depend on luck in the future."

Yao Chengxu swallowed his saliva.

Thinking of meeting the ocean overlord in the near future, his blood flowed backwards.

He held Yuan Chuan's hand tightly: "Brother Chuan, let's bring back more supplies this time! We won't go out from now on."

"Okay." Yuan Chuan sullenly, also worried about meeting those guys: "I'll go downstairs and inform Liu Xiong that we will go together tomorrow."

"Then I'll go home and make two harpoons."

"..."

They left in a hurry, made the most adequate preparations in a short time, and set off by boat at dawn.

In order to avoid them being blocked downstairs, Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou took the time to go downstairs at noon, ready to help.

The rainwater flooded the stairs leading to the third floor, and the residents living on the third floor had already moved out, leaving only swarms of cockroaches and mice running around in every house with impunity.

Animal feces can be seen everywhere and corridors full of sour smell give people a sense of being in a garbage dump.

Chi Yue squeezed the tie of the mask tightly, stepped on two cockroaches that had climbed to the toes of her shoes to death, followed Wen Qizhou's footsteps, walked into a house with an open door, and waited quietly.

Not long after, two rubber boats passed through the rain curtain one after another, and stopped beside the smashed French window loaded with supplies.

"So many harvests? Not bad." She stepped forward with Wen Qizhou and helped drag the two rubber boats into the house.

Liu Xiong smiled and said, "I'm lucky today. I found the rubber boat and food at Chengwei's school."

"You didn't encounter any danger on the way, did you?"

"No."

"That's good." Wen Qizhou vented the air in the rubber boat first, then tied up the supplies with them, and worked together to move upstairs.

As soon as I went up to the fourth floor, I met Sister He who was spraying insecticide in the corridor. She looked at the supplies in everyone's hands, and her eyes lit up: "Where did you find the boat? Can you lend it to me?"

"Locust Tree Street." Yuan Chuan weighed the cardboard box twice, met her expectant eyes: "It's okay to borrow, but you have to give supplies."

At this stage, boats are an important tool for going out to find a way out. If they don't take them out, the residents of the whole building who are cornered will definitely choose to attack them in groups.

Although they have guns and skills, they can't kill all the residents and it's hard to guard against villains. If some radicals set fire to die with them, it's not worth the loss.

Instead of making troubles to the point of endless death, it is better to lend them a boat generously, so that they can also exchange some supplies.

"How much supplies do you want?"

"Five catties of rice per trip." He thought about the reward before, and thought it was not too much: "No rice, noodles are fine."

After all, she could go out immediately after getting the boat. Sister He didn't hesitate for too long, thinking about getting supplies before the water rose.

"Wait, I'll go home and get it."

She turned around in a hurry, and Chi Yue thought that they would have to delay for a while, so she took the supplies and Wen Qizhou and took a step ahead.

When they came up to distribute the supplies after the transaction, Yuan Chuan put the new boat that he had agreed to distribute to them in advance, stuffed it into Wen Qizhou's arms skillfully, and asked with concern: "Is your family's food still enough? If not, I will give it to you again." Divide into two bags."

Wen Qizhou: "Enough."

The current situation is different from the extremely hot period. When you go out to find supplies, you need to go into the water. If you don't pay attention, you will be injured and die.

They had already got a new boat, and there was no reason to divide the hard-earned supplies of the four.

He and Chi Yue did not participate in the matter of lending a boat to the neighbors in exchange for rice noodles, and only reminded them a few words before going home.
