Chapter 14
On the second day of looking for supplies, everyone in Building 10 stopped going out.The supplies found the day before were enough for them to live for a period of time, and yesterday's performance was too conspicuous, so they needed to keep a low profile for a while.

After a night without dreams, Gu Yanzhi woke up refreshed. When he was stretching in front of the window, he noticed a group of people downstairs, chatting about something in a hurry.

After standing for a while, he found that the crowd downstairs not only did not disperse but was getting bigger and bigger. When Gu Yanzhi was about to go downstairs to join in the fun, Gu Yanlin and Song Zhao opened the door and walked in from outside.

"Sister, you're awake. Have you had breakfast? My brother-in-law made steamed buns."

"Not yet. You went downstairs?"

"What happened outside?" Gu Yanzhi yawned and asked while sitting on the sofa
"Oh, there is a house in the next building that is about to be flooded, and they want to move in with us. Just now, Uncle Zhang went down to find us to vote, but no one agreed. The old lady in that house is making trouble downstairs."

After the heavy rain last night, the water outside has become even higher, almost reaching the height of 6 stories.The family making the noise downstairs, whose surname is Wang, lives on the 13th floor of Building 7 in the same community, right next to Building 10.

I woke up in the morning and found that the water outside was about to flood my home, and I urgently needed to move.

Their building has the fewest residents in the community, and it is also the closest to building 13, so they wanted to move to building 10, so they shouted downstairs early in the morning.

The first to be woken up was Uncle Zhuang's family on the lowest floor, and then he asked Uncle Zhang to convene everyone to discuss whether to agree to the family moving here.

Although it is not clearly stated, Uncle Zhang is now the invisible and recognized building leader of Building 10.Enthusiastic, full of positive energy, he is not the kind of blindly good person, he has his own principles and bottom line, everyone in their building admires Uncle Zhang, and he is basically the first to discuss with Uncle Zhang when there is something to do.

Just experienced what happened yesterday, and everyone's mental state is still in a state of tension.Yesterday, before the end of the distribution of supplies, I specially asked Gu Yanzhi's family to borrow the anti-theft windows and iron doors, and installed them in the corridor on the 10th floor, so that everyone managed to get a good night's sleep at night.

In this state, no one wants unfamiliar strangers to invade their lives, and the family's request to move in was rejected by all votes.

Seeing the family's performance after being rejected, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Wang seems to be the kind of person who is not easy to mess with.Now she is acting up downstairs, while her son and daughter-in-law stand and watch, occasionally saying a few words of "discourage".

Something like, "You brought so many things back yesterday, we definitely won't snatch them from you."

"Your supplies are so rich, they must be as good as ours."

"Our family is going to be homeless soon, you won't do nothing to save us?"

When they were talking, the eyes of the two rolled slowly, flashing a malicious look, full of selfishness and calculation.If you let this kind of experience enter their lives, you can foresee how "rich and colorful" the future will be.

Gu Yanlin was in high spirits, dancing and dancing to describe what happened next to Gu Yanzhi.

At this time, all their people went upstairs, and no one paid attention to the family of three downstairs. Those who were watching the excitement and wanted to pick up the leaks realized that the people in this building were not as easy to talk to as expected, and gradually dispersed.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to them, the family of three downstairs howled for a while and left.They must find a new residence quickly, otherwise they may lose everything at home tomorrow.

A month passed in a blink of an eye.

The heavy rain continued to fall, and the height of the water outside was almost 9 stories high.

There is still no news about the national rescue, and more and more families are completely without food.Seeing no hope at all, some people jumped into the water and committed suicide, while many more died of hunger.

There are more and more corpses floating on the water outside. From the initial fear of seeing a corpse on the water, everyone has now become numb and indifferent when they see several corpses floating on the water.

In the past month, everyone in Building 10 has also been cautious, trying hard to reduce their sense of presence, and only took turns to quietly go out to collect some supplies when they were not noticeable.

Even so, the last wave brought a lot of jealousy, jealousy, and the final madness of some cornered people.In one month, Building 10 was robbed 3 times and stolen 5 times. Fortunately, everyone was vigilant and worked together to repel the enemy without much loss.

Building No. 10 also welcomed 3 homeless residents, all of whom were voted and screened by the crowd. They were all of good reputation and good character.Among them was the Xiaolin family who went out to search for supplies last time. This made Mrs. Wang and her family very angry. In the first few days, they yelled and cursed downstairs every morning. Later, they were really short of food and were so hungry that they had no strength to return the goods on the 10th. The residents of the building are clean.

Late at night, Gu Yanzhi felt a biting chill in her sleep, as if thousands of ice needles were piercing her body, causing her to suddenly wake up from a deep sleep.

Gu Yanzhi woke up Song Zhao who was still frowning because of the sudden cold, and the two of them got out of bed and found the thick coats they had prepared earlier, then looked at the thermometer hanging in the room, Now the temperature is minus 10 degrees Celsius.

It is now the end of November, and with the continuous heavy rain, there has been no sun. The temperature at night in city C is around zero degrees on weekdays, and it suddenly dropped by 11 degrees. Gu Yanzhi knew in his heart that the extreme cold might be coming.

Because he didn't know when the extreme cold would come, as early as the end of the world, Gu Yanzhi had already placed thermometers all over the room, and prepared warm clothes in advance, all of which came in handy now.

Opening the door, the living room was dark.There was no movement in Gu Yanlin's room across the living room.

Gu Yanzhi fiddled with the heating equipment in the room, Song Zhao knocked on the door of Gu Yanlin's room, but without any response, he turned the doorknob and went in.

"Woc, what's wrong? Hiss~, why is it so cold?" The light of the flashlight shone on Gu Yanlin's face, waking him up and sitting upright from the bed.

The quilt fell off his body, and his skin touched the cold air. Gu Yanlin couldn't help but shuddered and got goosebumps all over his body. He suddenly woke up.

Looking up and using the light of the flashlight to look at the person standing at the door, Gu Yanlin asked, "Brother-in-law, is the extreme cold coming?"

"There is a high probability that you should get up first, clean up and go inform other people in the building. Don't freeze people to death." Song Zhao nodded and threw Gu Yanlin's thick clothes to him.
