Things took a turn for the better a little over a month later, and the reason for the turn was because the food was running out again.

Qian Huiying's confidence is decreasing day by day, just like the food brought from her supermarket, and she is talking less and less with other people, and more often she is angry at her husband for nothing.

Cheng Chuanrong and others all live on the first floor, and they are no longer surprised by this situation, and no one usually comes to persuade them.

"Silly mother-in-law, are you still finished?" was scolded so badly, Zhang Mingqing endured it for so many days and endured the fire.

He blocked Qian Huiying's hand pointing at his nose and went back fiercely: "Can you scold Lao Tzu for food?" At the beginning, Lao Tao said that he called everyone to go out and find more food to come back and stock, didn't you object, but now it's okay, there is almost no food, so you will find Lao Tzu to be angry. ”

"Don't laugh at y'all of you." Zhang Mingqing scolded angrily, his face turned red, and he pointed his finger at Cheng Chuanrong and others on the side: "You were also against it at the beginning, what does it mean to watch jokes on the side now?" ”

"Brother Zhang is angry, and my sister-in-law has no malice, women, don't you like to nag a few words?" Seeing that Zhang Mingqing's clay man was really angry, Cheng Chuanrong put away his sneer, and hurried over to accompany him.

"If you can't pull your face and go to Lao Tao to discuss going out to search for supplies, I'll go!" Zhang Mingqing has already understood that his stupid mother-in-law was used as a gun by Cheng Chuanrong and others, and was pushed to the front to slap Tao Shunjun and Chen Ting.

"Brother Rong......" Wu Xianbiao looked at Zhang Mingqing's figure going upstairs, turned his head and shouted at Cheng Chuanrong.

"Let him go, as long as a few of us don't take the initiative to find Lao Tao, it means that we haven't lowered our heads yet." Cheng Chuanrong pursed his lips, and the meaning of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth again.

"Sister Qian, Brother Zhang suddenly got so angry, when he comes back, you will be more obedient to him, so as not to hurt and anger yourself." He has something to say, which is clearly persuasion, but in fact it is provocative.

Qian Huiying is a face-loving person, she used to press Zhang Mingqing at home, but after being scolded by her husband today, she has been stunned until now, and she was provoked by Cheng Chuanrong's words, and an angry face appeared on her face: "This thing that lacks heart and eyes knows that the elbow is turned outward." ”

Zhang Mingqing ignored the voice downstairs, he went upstairs to find Tao Shunjun, and then explained his intention.

"Brother Zhang, if you don't come to me, I've already gone down to look for you." The people downstairs came to look for him, Tao Shunjun was not surprised at all, but the person who came up was Zhang Mingqing, which made him slightly surprised.

Tao Shunjun's words were very decent, and he also took care of Zhang Mingqing's mood, which made him very useful to listen to.

"A few of them couldn't put their faces down, and they were so anxious downstairs for food that they jumped to their feet." Zhang Mingqing said that a few people downstairs had the meaning of hating iron and not steel.

"I also blame me for the food, I was in a hurry to mention it at the beginning, which made everyone hurt their peace." Tao Shunjun took the initiative to take the fault on himself, he is a person with a sense of the overall situation, and he will not be rash because of personal emotions.

"We really don't have much supplies in stock, and it's time to go out, so let's go downstairs with you and find a few of them to sum up." He grabbed Zhang Mingqing's arm, and the two walked downstairs together.

Tao Shunjun went downstairs, and the attitude of Cheng Chuanrong and others eased a lot. Tao Shunjun left them steps, and everyone took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.

After discussing downstairs for a while, the people who went out were decided, and it was still the original four people - Tao Shunjun, Cheng Chuanrong, Wu Xianbiao and He Zhengde. This arrangement seems to be the same as before, but it is actually a result of the game between the two sides.

Tao Shunjun left Chen Ting and Liu Rui behind, while Cheng Chuanrong and the others put Qian Huiying and his wife at home as a containment.

After the agreement, everyone went their separate ways to prepare for the departure.

In the next week, Tao Shunjun took Cheng Chuanrong and the three of them out to search for supplies many times, and everyone was getting farther and farther away from Xiaolou.

Chen Ting was a little worried about Tao Shunjun's safety, because the situation at home had tended to be balanced under Tao Shunjun's arrangement, but Tao Shunjun himself was a little lonely outside.

She was not afraid that Cheng Chuanrong and others would harm Tao Shunjun, but that when he was in distress, Cheng Chuanrong and the others would not try their best to save him.

Every day of waiting was accompanied by apprehension, until one day, Cheng Chuanrong and others brought back food, and at the same time brought back bad news.

Tao Shunjun had an accident.

"Brother, he accidentally fell into the siege of zombies at that time and couldn't get out......" Cheng Chuanrong explained the death of Tao Shunjun in a few words.

Unlike his relaxed appearance, Chen Ting and the others all cried when they heard the news.

I'm really worried about anything.

Tao Shunjun was the only person Chen Ting and the others could rely on in the disaster, and now that he is gone, Chen Ting's spiritual pillar has also fallen.

"Why didn't you save him?" Chen Ting was sad and questioned Cheng Chuanrong's vague words.

"Save? How to save? Do you talk with your mouth like you do? Chen Ting didn't open her mouth, but as soon as she spoke, Cheng Chuanrong started a fire at her.

In fact, Cheng Chuanrong was a little weak-hearted, so he could only improve his momentum by deliberately getting angry.

They managed to find a food hoarding spot outside, but there were a lot of zombies gathered nearby, and the only way to get inside to get food was to need someone to lure the zombies away.

At that time, Cheng Chuanrong and his two companions were cowering, and Tao Shunjun had no choice but to stand up by himself.

After he lured away the zombies, Cheng Chuanrong and the others did not rush over to answer as agreed, but went straight to fill the food inside and fled back.

"Kill two birds with one stone, Brother Rong." The three of them snickered on the way back.

……

Chen Ting didn't know what happened, she was very sad for Tao Shunjun's misfortune, and she couldn't hear Cheng Chuanrong's words yelling at her, and the whole person was confused for a while.

It was her sister Chen Cailing and Liu Rui who helped her back upstairs, and the three girls hugged their heads and cried.

Cheng Chuanrong and others downstairs moved the materials they brought back to their own place, and Qian Huiying asked them for it, but was kicked a few times by Wu Xianbiao.

Zhang Mingqing went up to protect his wife, and he was also punched by them a few times.

Without Tao Shunjun in the team, Cheng Chuanrong seems to be the boss, he, Wu Xianbiao and He Zhengde control all the materials in the small building together, and fantasize about the life of power and fortune in the future.

Chen Ting felt that Cheng Chuanrong and the others' attitude towards them was getting worse and worse, and Zhang Mingqing and Qian Huiying seemed to be angry with those men. The atmosphere in the team is getting worse, there is no equality and harmony as before, and there is more of a sense of class.

On the issue of going out to search for supplies, Cheng Chuanrong and the others began to ask Zhang Mingqing to go out with Chen Ting, because he was not worried about the materials under his control.

Chen Ting disagreed, and Qian Huiying also began to object. Cheng Chuanrong and the others began to insult them, and they scolded them so hard that Liu Rui couldn't listen to them, so she stood up to refute them.

"Why are you three big men forcing weak women to go out together? You guys can't even protect Uncle Tao well, can you protect us well? Liu Rui's face flushed with anger, "Don't forget, who saved you in the first place." Without Uncle Tao and me, you would probably have died outside. If Sister Chen Ting hadn't found you on the rooftop, you would have died. Now that Uncle Tao is gone, you are taking revenge and saying such vicious things to us? ”

"It's so hard to live in your house." Wu Xianbiao pursed his lips and said with disdain: "Don't forget, now there are empty houses everywhere outside, do you think it was still the time when tens of thousands of yuan could only buy a flat before?" ”

"To survive depends on food, these foods are fought by a few of us, but you can tell me, who is saving whom now?" Cheng Chuanrong smiled, Liu Rui's angry appearance had a bit of charm in his eyes, which made him look at it a few more times.

Everyone quarreled for a while, and finally broke up.

When it was time for dinner, Chen Ting and the others did not go downstairs, everyone was angry, and the three girls agreed to go out together tomorrow morning to find supplies, ready to completely get rid of the control of Cheng Chuanrong and others in terms of food.

In the middle of the night, Chen Ting thought that Tao Shunjun was no longer there, and she was sad for a while. Her younger sister, who lives in the same room with her, also has red eyes and can't sleep because she is sad.

The sisters sat up to comfort each other when they heard a knock on the door again.

"Who is it?" Because of the sudden change in the attitude of Cheng Chuanrong and others, Chen Ting was already on guard, she shouted vigilantly, and then heard a soft sobbing sound outside the door.

"Sister Liu Rui?" Hearing who the owner of the voice was, Chen Ting ran over and opened the door.

"You...... What's wrong with you, Sister Liu Rui? The figure that appeared at the door was Liu Rui, but she was standing there naked at the moment, and by the light in the room, Chen Ting saw that her face was full of tears, and there were many bruises on her face and body.

Chen Ting pulled Liu Rui into the house, found a piece of clothing to put on her, hugged her trembling body, and kept comforting her.

Liu Rui's appearance made Chen Ting already guess in her heart, her face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she was also very frightened.

"The brutes...... They ......" Liu Rui just opened her mouth and didn't say a few words, tears flowed down again, her body trembled, and her previous experience seemed to be a nightmare.

But the bruises on her body and the pain in her lower body can't be faked, and Liu Rui is already dead at the moment.

"You two sisters...... Be careful. Liu Rui cried for a while, and finally stopped, she looked at Chen Ting, then at Chen Cailing, and then leaned against the corner of the wall and asked Chen Ting to turn off the light.

Chen Ting turned off the light and walked over with her sister to sit with her, Liu Rui didn't speak, and the two of them didn't make a sound.

The only thing left for the silent night was the occasional sobbing.

Chen Ting's heart was sad, but she couldn't do anything about what was happening in front of her, because everything had already happened and it was irreparable.

Tao Shunjun was killed, and Liu Rui was humiliated again......

"Those brutes!" Chen Ting has hated them to the core.
