Chapter 22: high temperature 60 degrees during daytime
This is what they though before leaving.
Vicky specifically made this in advance and put it on for display to those hungry survivors.
Vicky did not kill them as there will be few more patrols for the next few months.
So he doesn't want to be identified by the military and cops as dangerous element.
Well he can always kill one or two in secret and dispose of them.
But he would not kill so many people at the same time leaving witnesses.
...….
The days were peaceful after the people searched his home as there are no more disturbances.
Well in 5 days on December 20th the water level reached the 15th floor.
The people below moved up and the already crowded place became even more crowded.
At the same time there is no one on the 20th floor.
Even the corridor of the 19th floor is fine but coming to 20th floor is like standing in between two frying pans along with a hot sealed cooker.
So they dare not come to the 20th floor and occupy the floors below that.
Nisha and Roy are on the 16th floor.
Because of the fear that the 16th floor would be submerged the people did not bother with the 16th floor.
So all the people from 1-15th floor were either entered the flats of 17, 18 and 19th floors or stayed in the corridors.
16th floor also had water but that only came till their feet are submerged.
Vicky stopped cooking because there are too many people too close.
He has to wait for another 40 days before the water receded to the 10th floor.
After 6 months the water would go down all the way to the 2nd floor.
The evaporated water would not form clouds but increase the humidity.
But the humidity is not as high as to form fog.
...…..
10 days passed by and today is New Year.
The temperature has reached 60 degrees which is very high.
Vicky was managing somehow using the 4 air coolers set up around him in the small hidden bed room.
He is also eating some water melon that was previous cut into pieces, frozen and stored in the space for freshness.
The temperature in the night is more than 40 degrees in the floors below 18th floor.
The 20th floor has the temperature of 45 degrees and 19th floor has the temperature of 42 degrees.
Most people thought that Vicky is already dead if not for small sounds.
There are not many movements or sounds from the floor above.
Vicky became nocturnal and does his things in the night and sleep during the day.
No one came out to check anything in the top floors.
Well some came at the beginning to go to the roof to check if there is any water in the tank above.
But after that they did not came.
On the other hand after a month they adapted to the temperature of 40 degrees and they can move.
Well 40 degrees temperature is not strange in his country during summer.
So they quickly adapted and move during the nights.
The government people have already told them that the electricity grid was cut off.
So they can move in rubber boats if there is an emergency in their last visit.
They salvaged some rubber boats to go out and search for food and water in the night time.
Also they want to find out why the support from the government was stopped.
There is a big commotion as they started to fight for the rubber boat.
Some of them came to check the apartments on the 20th floor to see if there are any rubber boats.
Well Vicky did not leave any and told those people that he did not have any rubber boats.
The people did not believe Vicky and searched the apartment again.
The number of people came here are only three.
Vicky became angry.
So he broke the legs of the three men directly.
The bones are broken and they were kicked out into the water so that they can fend for themselves.
There are sounds and calls for help from the three people, their relatives can only shout for help and look at the drowning people.
Not everyone knows how to swim.
Also the fall is very hard and they only heard the sound of call for help when they fell.
But after falling from the 20th floor to the water at 10th floor in the irregular posture they directly fallen unconscious and died after drowning.
The entire process only took less than 10 seconds.
The relatives of these people came to the 20th floor to check but there is nothing to check here.
There are no witnesses that a lean and weak looking Vicky would push 3 people to their deaths.
Vicky even told them that they fought over something and pushed each other while arguing.
The people with the discerning eye can see that there are flaws in what Vicky said but they cannot speak about anything.
There is no witness or evidence.
Also these people came here to forcibly check the apartments.
So they are in the wrong.
Most of the time other than pushing those people Vicky did not open the mesh door of the apartment so that the mosquitoes and insects would not come inside.
Even when talking with those people that came to enquire about the three people, Vicky spoke to them through the meshed gate.
The person that looked like the leader of the group asked Vicky if he had a rubber boat for them to use.
Vicky simply told them that he did not have any rubber boat with him.
The people did not believe this but they still left.
The temperature here is unbearable for them already.
Vicky did not leave right now as he has no need to get anything for the time being.
That night there are people that went to...….
