Ten o'clock that night.

The couple met with Yao Chengwei and Yuan Chuan in the corridor, and in order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to steal the house, Chi Yue handed the horn to Zhao Peng and asked him to call them loudly as soon as he noticed any movement.

"Don't worry." Zhao Peng patted his chest and said with a serious face: "I promise not to let outsiders get close to our house!" ”

"If something happens, don't be tough with them." Yuan Chuan had no confidence in Zhao Peng's force value, but it was not good to hit him in public: "Life is the most important." ”

"I know."

After making sure he had listened, the four of them rushed to the rooftop to attend the meeting.

They stood in the corner, watching the exhausted and emaciated inhabitants of the extreme heat, walking in without energy.

I especially remember the first time I received the supplies, there were more than 100 people who came, and they would greet each other with a smile when they saw their neighbors, chatting about family life and killing time, a scene of friendship.

Today, there are only about 50 people left.

They no longer talk to their neighbors, separated by half a meter from each other, with defensiveness, nervousness and numbness written on their faces.

The rooftop, which is wider than ever, is filled with a lifeless atmosphere, and even the blowing evening breeze is oppressive.

"Brother." Liu Xiong's arrival dispelled the gloom that shrouded them. He withdrew his hand on Wen Qizhou's back, frowned and asked, "Why do you smell?" ”

"Who's smellless?" Yuan Chuan felt that he was talking nonsense, he pulled up his collar and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff: "I feel like I'm going to be rancid." ”

"He doesn't smell like you."

"What's different?"

Liu Xiong ignored him.

He simply asked Wen Qizhou: "Did you fall into the dung pit just now?" Or stepped on? ”

"......" Wen Qizhou said calmly: "I ate snail powder before I came, and the smell is very strong and easy to stick to my body." ”

He didn't tell the whole truth.

Eating snail powder is real, but the smell on the body is difficult to maintain for too long, and they deliberately spilled the soup base on the dirty clothes that they wore several times, so that the smell of sweat and the smell of smell mixed together, so as to create the illusion that they have not taken a bath for a long time.

"No wonder." People who have never eaten snail powder have also heard of its power, so they easily believe his words.

Yuan Chuan thought that he liked to eat that thing, so he thought that he would go downstairs and get a few bags for him later.

Anyway, no one ate what he collected.

"The meeting is coming." Chi Yue saw Sister He and her husband at a glance, and diverted their attention loudly.

I haven't seen her for many days, Sister He's state is like a concubine, her back is like being bent by a heavy burden, and she no longer has the vigor she once had, leaving only a perceptible malaise.

She stood on the round stool with a loudspeaker and counted the number of people with her eyes: "Why are there only fifty-three people?" ”

Someone replied: "More than 10 families in our building have gone to the subway station to escape the heat." ”

"I know that." She glanced at her husband on the left and asked, "What about the rest of them?" Didn't you notify? ”

"Informed." Her husband's condition was not much better, and he said weakly: "They can't come for a while." ”

Either they were injured, or there were only one or two old and sick people left in the family, and they couldn't go out.

Sister He didn't ask anymore.

She talked about the content of the meeting: "The main reason for calling you up this time is to discuss the safety of the building. ”

"As you know, burglaries are not uncommon these days. If we continue to let this go, the herd will definitely become even more rampant! ”

"So I'm thinking, should I form a team to patrol the building every day?" Sister He licked her chapped lips twice, and counted the benefits of patrolling, trying to convince them.

Finally, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Yes." There were many people who agreed to patrol, but when it came to the candidates, differences arose.

One of the women, with sunken cheeks, turned her eyes and pointed to the young man standing next to her: "They are tall and strong, so they are very suitable for us to patrol." ”

Whatever she has in mind, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It's just that he is old and thin, and he will not be selected into the patrol, so he provokes people for himself.

"Want Lao Tzu to give you your life? Dream! The young man clapped her hand away vigorously to show that he would not participate.

Another thief-eyed man proposed, "Aren't the people on the 26th floor having guns?" I'll leave the patrol to them. ”

Sister He looked at the people on the 26th floor.

If the captain of the patrol is from someone with a weapon in his hand, then the participation of others will definitely be higher.

She directly arranged for Wen Qizhou and Yuan Chuan: "Then you each pick five team members, and then see how to take shifts." ”

"Did we agree?" Wen Qizhou's eyes looked at her playfully for a moment, and the sense of oppression exuded from his body was full.

Sister He said loudly: "The meaning of the patrol is to add protection to everyone!" While you patrol the entire building, you are also protecting your family! Don't you understand this truth? ”

"You don't come to this set!" Yuan Chuan didn't want to be tired of a bunch of irrelevant people: "Whoever likes to participate will participate, anyway, we don't care, don't discuss with us." ”

"How can you be so selfish?!"

"Selfish?" Chi Yue smiled: "You're not selfish, why do you always want to push others out as targets?" ”

As robbery gangs grow, patrols are more likely to encounter danger at night.

If they are blocked in the corridor by the robbers, they will not only find it difficult to get out, but they will also be easily pushed out by their teammates.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a good thing.

"Forget it." Sister He's husband was afraid that she would let her join the patrol on the spur of the moment, so he persuaded: "Everyone thinks differently, and there is no need to force you if they don't want you." ”

Sister He can see that none of them are good at stubble, even if they are hard, they can't change the current situation.

She swallowed the breath that was stuffed in her chest: "Then I'll give you four bags of instant noodles, and you can lend me the gun to use." ”

"I don't borrow it." Chi Yue turned his head and left.

The man with thief eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes immediately blocked the door with the blue-clothed young man behind him: "If you don't borrow, you have to borrow!" ”

They thought that Chi Yue was the best to handle, and immediately showed the fruit knife, in a vain attempt to exchange her life for a gun.

The moment the fruit knife swung in, Chi Yue reacted extremely quickly to dodge sideways, kicked the man's abdomen, and took advantage of the gap between his body shaking to grab the knife against his neck.

She slashed violently, and blood gushed out from the severed arteries, splashing on her fingertips.

At the same time, Wen Qizhou grabbed the blue-clothed young man who wanted to sneak attack her, pressed his wrist bone and folded it up, and stabbed him in the chest with a knife mercilessly when the other party screamed.

The young man in blue's pupils constricted.

The second he fell to the ground, he glanced at the rat-eyed man who had lost his life, coughed violently twice, and stopped moving.

Everything happened so fast that the residents who witnessed the whole process subconsciously retreated, either in horror or admiration at the couple.

It's as if time has been paused.

No one spoke up.

Chi Yue threw away the fruit knife in his hand and glanced back at them, even if he didn't say a word, he could still let people receive a warning signal from those eyes full of indifference.

Sister He, who was so frightened that her legs went weak, held her husband's hand tightly, and did not dare to mention the matter of lending a gun to the patrol team, but watched her and the others leave one after another.

*

The patrol team was not formed after all.

Those who have the ability and skills dare not take risks, and how dare the rest of the ordinary people take the lead? I have to leave it at that.

And after the murder on the rooftop, those who had the idea of weapons also put their minds to it.

Instead, he stared at their robbery gang, and made a new move, deciding to break into the interior with the beauty trick with the highest success rate.

"Knock knock—"

There is a knock on the door of 2601.

Wen Qizhou glanced through the cat's eyes at the woman in a white sundress outside the door.

Vigilantly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Sir." The woman looked up at the cat's eyes, her eyes as clear as a fawn were full of helplessness: "My key has fallen at home, can you go upstairs and help me pick the lock open?" ”

"Who called you here?"

"Huh?" She paused, as if sensing his suspicion, and innocently explained: "Nobody, I came by myself." ”

Wen Qizhou didn't believe it at all.

Not to mention how the other party opened the door of the safe passage, the mere fact that she dared to wander alone in the corridor that could be dangerous at any time was enough to show that something was unusual.

"If you look for someone else, I can't help you." He hadn't finished squeezing the juice for Yueyue yet, so how could he waste time with her.

"Mr. ......"

He turned away.

As soon as he lifted his feet and took a step forward, he saw the figure imprinted in the depths of his soul, leaning against the wall and looking at him.

"Sir?" Chi Yue crossed her arms and raised her beautiful eyebrows meaninglessly: "Her voice is weirdly good." ”

"......" Wen Qizhou's back stiffened, and he inexplicably had a sense of being caught doing bad things.

He walked up to her in three or two steps, hugged her waist, and had a strong desire to survive: "No matter how good it sounds, it's none of my business." ”

"So what are you talking about?"

"She asked me to help pick the lock." He relayed it word for word, and emphasized: "I only told her three words. ”

Seeing that his jaw was tense, looking like he was afraid that she would misunderstand, Chi Yue laughed and stopped teasing him.

She looked up at him, "I feel like she's not just trying to trick you out. ”

Hearing the prayer boat's head.

He had seen too many endless methods in the business world, and his mind was sharpened enough that he could guess what was wrong with the group of people behind her.

"She's trying to break into us." He hugged Chi Yue, who was stepping on his slippers, and walked to the sofa in the bedroom.

"And then?"

"Then when we lower our guard, she will extract useful information and provide it to those who want to rob behind it."

“…… They're not too much of a hassle. ”

"It's the same as the company sending spies to the opposite home, and only enough patience can get a favorable return."

Before they went to the shooting gallery, Zhao Peng and the four of them searched the nearby police station, but they couldn't see the gun.

It can be seen that guns are a rarity.

The robbers wanted not only supplies, but guns that would make them more brazen.

Otherwise, there will be no roundabout tactics.

Chi Yue blinked slyly: "Then we will calculate?" "Rather than guarding against thieves for a thousand days, it is better to never suffer in the future.
