Chapter 13: In-depth conversation
The yellow hair's complaining eyes looked at my back for a while.
It's not good to talk again along the way, and I didn't speak again in the lock.
The eyes motioned for me to go back and talk.
There were very few walking corpses on the road, and our car was unimpeded, and we soon returned to Li Jiaqiang and their downstairs.
Lee hinted at parking the car downstairs and asked for an easy way to start it (the car didn't have a key).
This old fox! I couldn't help but curse in my heart again, it's really cheap, and I can't take advantage of it at all.
If they had known about the two cars at the entrance of the alley before, they would definitely have been cheeky to go now.
Suotian generously parked the car directly in front of their yard and carefully taught him how to start the car.
After that, instead of going back to our house, we went straight into their yard.
We didn't find bottled water today, so we had to discuss the future water supply.
There are so many of them that almost all of them live on the first to fourth floors.
Looking at the corridors where people come and go, there are a few soft laughter from time to time, and I feel an indescribable feeling in my heart.
It's good to be alive. How long has it been since you've felt this bustling atmosphere?
A group that takes in so many people shouldn't be much worse.
Unconsciously my good impression of them has improved a lot.
Li Jianguo is their temporary leader and lives on the fourth floor.
The living room was furnished in the same way as in our home, and sitting on the sofa, Li Jianguo called in a few people who seemed to be the center of their team.
Last time, the eldest sister was also in it. I remember her surname was Sun.
Sister Sun nodded and smiled at me, and I smiled and nodded at her.
"Isn't there any drinking water in the bottled water yard?" On the side, Li Jianguo knew the general news from Li Jiaqiang's mouth, and asked with some disappointment.
Suo Tian nodded: "There should have been a lot of people living there for a while, and they have all seen the situation inside, and none of us can guarantee that the water is still clean." β
"It's just uncertain, maybe you can drink it, maybe you should bring some back."
I couldn't help but feel funny: "Mr. Li, after bringing it back, will you drink that water yourself to see if it's clean?" Or are you going to find a poor worm to use as a test subject? β
Li Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly defended: "No, I didn't mean that." β
"Uncle Li, if we take the risk of drinking that water, it is not as convenient as drinking tap water directly, and it doesn't stop anyway, it's the same risk, and we haven't confirmed that tap water is indeed contagious. Sister, they didn't dare to bring back the water to ensure the safety of each of us. Yangyang's words were very polite, and he naturally gave Li Jianguo a step.
I gave him an appreciative look, dude is awesome.
After all, Li Jianguo is dozens of years old, and he is very good at observing words and feelings, and after listening to Yangyang's words, he immediately went down the pole: "Yes, yes, you really need to be cautious... I really didn't think it through. β
Sister Sun said lightly: "Now we have to think about where to get the water we drink in the future." β
"For the time being, the bottled water in the county's scattered small supermarkets and small convenience stores is enough for us to last for a while. It's justβ" After a pause, I said something worried.
"It's clear that we're not the only survivors, and the corpses of the walking corpses on the road outside prove that they must have a reason since they ran out onto the road to cut down the walking corpses, and all I can think of is that they are also looking for food. In other words, the supermarket in the county is currently supplying us and many other people at the same time. We may just be short of water at the moment, and we may not even be short of food in the near future. β
"But why didn't we go to the convenience store in the morning?" Li Jiaqiang interrupted me.
"Probably they ignored it, after all, the store is small."
Sister Sun thought for a while: "In that case, the things in the supermarket won't last us long?" β
"Hmm." I nodded.
"Then let's go out quickly, find the supermarket that they haven't searched yet, and bring back all the contents inside." Li Guoqiang furrowed his brows and proposed.
Sister Sun shook her head and denied: "Lao Li, how can we be so selfish and not leave a way for others to live?" And... Even if we bring all those things back, how long will it be enough for us to eat? Don't forget, there is still not enough water. β
"So what do you say? Can we just wait for death like this? β
"Lao Li, don't get excited. It's not that serious, it's a big deal to venture to find it farther away. It's only a two-hour drive to the city. Sister Sun comforted Li Guoqiang with kind words.
"You can call a few people tomorrow to search the surrounding supermarkets first, leave some things for the others, and bring the rest back. It should last a while. "Lock-up opening suggestion.
In order to prevent them from going to us for help again, I quickly answered: "Suo Tian is right, the few people who went with me today also know how to act and how to cut down the walking corpses." You can go out and search for it yourself at any time. β
I accentuated the words 'you' and 'myself', believing that anyone who wasn't a fool would understand what I meant.
After Li Guoqiang heard this, he smiled politely: "Having said that, thank you so much today, after helping us with the front and back, you didn't take anything, so let's do it... When you go back later, take two boxes of instant noodles you found today. It's not a trip in vain. β
"Thank you then." I smiled and nodded, he was right, he didn't run in vain. The drinks I took from the store today are also with them, so I'll have to remember to take them with me later.
Later, they briefly talked about the situation about the shelter broadcast on TV, and they were very confused, some agreed to take the risk, some dragged their families, and those who did not want to take the risk suggested that the current situation should be maintained.
We didn't want to get involved in their arguments, and after saying goodbye, we returned home with our things and the two boxes of instant noodles sent by Li Jianguo.
The little thing I ate before going out in the morning was almost vomited by me, and when I got home, I didn't want to move when I sat on the sofa, and there was a contradictory feeling of hunger and nausea in my stomach.
I can't tell if I want to eat or if I want to go to the toilet and throw up.
I didn't feel much about Li Jianguo just now, but now that I am home and relaxed, the pictures I saw in the bottled water plant keep playing back in my mind.
I guess I won't be able to eat any meat for a long time in the future...
Yangyang is a boy after all, and his resistance in this regard is still stronger than mine, so he went home and changed into clean clothes as if nothing had happened, and accompanied Rongrong to eat cookies.
Mei Jing and Shen Xue Shen Feng have cleaned up their home with a new look, which is my only comfort at the moment... Even if it's the end of the world, you have to live comfortably!
Yang Yang briefly told them about the matter, roughly because there was no water to be found, the number of walking corpses outside had decreased, and there were other survivors searching everywhere for food.
"In that case, do we have to keep more stuff at home?" After hearing this, Shen Feng asked me and Suo Tian.
"Well, you have to prepare more food. In case the outside is emptied by Li Jianguo and other survivors, we will not be too embarrassed to live. Suo Tian replied as he leaned back on the couch.
"But at the moment, the most serious problem is the water problem. Do we really have to risk drinking tap water? Yang Yang also turned his head and asked.
"Tap water is definitely not to be drunk." I glanced at him, and accidentally swept my eyes to the two boxes of instant noodles piled up behind him, and my mind flashed white!
Immediately thought of something, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Warehouse! We've been ignoring it! There is a warehouse in the mall, and there must be a lot of milk, drinks, and mineral water in the warehouse, as long as we find it before others and bring it back, we don't need to worry about the water problem anymore. β
"Hey! Really, we didn't think about it before. After Shen Feng finished speaking, he gave me a thumbs up.
"I've simply looked at the door of the warehouse before, and I can't open the lock on the door. If you don't have a key, you can't get in. Locking the sky to the back of the sofa, a few words cruelly interrupted my joy.
"Won't you just find the key?" Mei Jing said innocently.
"Where can I find it... We don't even know where the keys are. "I'm a little discouraged.
"I know!" After Mei Jing finished speaking, the eyes of the whole room were staring.
"Do you know where the key is? Where is it? Shen Feng asked.
"Sister Meijing, don't make trouble, brother, they are discussing very serious matters." Shen Xue tugged at Meijing's sleeve, thinking she was joking.
Mei Jing looked at Shen Xue strangely and said, "I really know where it is." β
"Where?" Lock the sky asked.
"In the manager's office."
"How do you know?"
"That's where I used to be." Meijing glanced at me and then said, "Chen Yang, I have paid you many times, but you didn't know me at the time and didn't pay attention." β
"Can you be sure the key is in the manager's room?" I don't want to remember whether Meijing settled the bill for me before.
"Of course, my friend is the one who loads the goods, and when she opens the warehouse door, she goes to the manager's office to get the keys. I've seen it many times with my own eyes, and the key is in the drawer on the left side of the office. β
After Meijing finished speaking, Suo Tian sat up straight from the sofa, smiled at her and praised, "You helped a lot." β
"Which... How's that... I didn't do anything..."Meijing's face suddenly flushed. He stammered.
My heart is stagnant... Looking at Meijing's suddenly shy face, I felt a little stuffy in my chest.
Shaking my head, putting aside the thoughts that were about to come to my mind, I smiled at Meijing and said, "I didn't do anything, look at how clean the house is cleaned up by you and Shen Xue." What's more, you provided such a useful message. β
"Auntie, I've wiped the table too." Zheng Rongrong on the side poked his head out of Yangyang's arms and asked me for credit.
"Okay~ Xiao Rongrong is awesome~ Auntie will reward you with the orange juice she got back today, okay?"
"Hey, hey, hey..."The little guy grinned embarrassedly, and when he heard the orange juice in the bag he brought back, his two little eyes kept glancing at the bag.
Rong Rong's cute appearance amused a room of people, Shen Xue went over and fished him out of Yangyang's arms, and scolded with a smile: "You know how to eat if you are small!" Look at your messy shouting, it's obviously two sisters and brothers, one of you calls your brother and the other calls your aunt. β
"Haha, she's still young, she knows something." I waved my hand at Shen Xue, signaling her to pay attention not to hurt Rong Rong with her hairy hands and feet.
Meijing, whose eyes accidentally swept to the side, sat on the side and listened to everyone's conversation and laughter, but her eyes were looking at the sky...
Don't... Meijing likes to lock the sky?
