Chapter 19 - Install the door

Back in the apartment, everyone was exhausted. The collected supplies were all piled up in the living room and kitchen, and they planned to clean up after taking a nap. Eventually, Gu Meng, who was on guard, made fried rice. The few of them devoured it, took a simple wash, and went to bed. Su Yu lay in bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep immediately, having a dreamless night. When she woke up, it was already ten o'clock. Su Yu turned her head and found no one beside her. She yawned and went to wash up. Still groggy, she was about to go brush her teeth when someone was already washing his face there. She looked up and a handsome face came into view. Lin Yiran, as the male lead, was indeed very handsome. Unlike Bai Shang's gentle and refined look, his features were intense, and his handsomeness was bold and aggressive. Staring at someone would give the feeling of being sucked into his black eyes. Therefore, Su Yu didn't like looking at him directly, but Lin Yiran was curious about her and often looked at her. Annoying! Lin Yiran said hello, saw that she slightly frowned, and his black eyes lowered. He voluntarily stepped aside to let her brush her teeth. Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't like being alone with the male lead and felt uncomfortable. Gu Meng, you need to work harder and get them to lock eyes soon! After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Su Yu sat at the dining table, looking at Gu Meng with exasperation, while Gu Meng, who was clueless, thought she was hungry and comforted her with a smile. "There are snacks on the coffee table. If you're hungry, you can have some. Dinner will be ready in about ten minutes." Su Yu sighed, obediently went to the coffee table to look for something to eat.

The few of them also had a very sumptuous lunch, including boiled meat slices, cola chicken wings, potato stewed chicken, stir-fried baby cabbage, and kelp and pork rib soup. Everyone ate very happily, and Gu Meng was still a good cook. After eating, everyone packed and sorted the supplies, putting the staple foods in the kitchen, pure water in the living room, and various usable supplies in the room. The bathroom was filled with several water buckets, and even the balcony was piled up with supplies, with a water tower placed there. In addition to the knife and crossbow found by Su Yu, the others also found some machetes, baseball bats, and golf clubs and other weapons, which were divided among the few of them. Su Yu only wanted the Tang knife she found. On the surface, she also had a dagger and a gun. Gu Meng and Bai Shang asked for the crossbows, and there weren't many matching arrows, only more than 100. They would try to make them themselves in the later stage. Lin Yiran had a gun, and he chose the Tibetan knife and Miao knife found by Su Yu. The remaining weapons were given to Qiu Qin and Li Zhun. Next, the six of them had a meeting, and Lin Yiran, as the team leader, arranged for the tasks. "We go out to look for supplies, and the two of you girls and Bai Shang go to the rooftop to chisel clean ice and put it in the water tower and buckets." Su Yu added, "Bring a few doors over as well." Everyone looked at her, puzzled. Lin Yiran and Bai Shang immediately realized something, and their faces changed slightly, nodding in agreement. Li Zhun was puzzled: "What does that mean?" Gu Meng also reacted, her face turned a little pale: "Actually, last night when we were moving supplies back and forth, someone noticed. They even came upstairs to knock on the door. I didn't dare to open it. Fortunately, they left soon after." "Yes." Bai Shang explained to Li Zhun, "The supplies we found last night definitely someone will be jealous. It's best to install an iron gate in front of the main door, and also in front of the staircase and elevator entrance, just in case." Qiu Qin nodded. Li Zhun groaned and sighed, "We have to be on guard against the people around us even though we're struggling to survive. Sigh..." But he quickly perked up, "Fortunately, we have quite a few weapons, so we don't have to worry too much." Lin Yiran just said, "Safety first." After the meeting, the few of them immediately started, and the search for doors could not be delayed.

Su Yu and Gu Meng took turns to guard the house, while the other person went up with Bai Shang to chisel ice and collect it in buckets, which were then carried down by Bai Shang and poured into the water tower. Back and forth, it took more than ten trips to fill a water tower, and then they continued to fill the ice into the large buckets they brought back. Su Yu guided them to load more. There was no other way. In a couple of meetings, a more terrifying cold wave would hit, with blizzards and temperatures dropping to minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius. Everything could freeze, and people would turn into icicles in less than a minute when going out. She remembered that cold wave in the past, which lasted for several days, claiming the lives of nearly 100,000 people. Before long, Lin Yiran and the others came back. The two were carrying a door, and they first installed a door on the staircase, then another one in front of the main door, and finally, the elevator entrance. These doors were all removed from the gate of the villa. They were super thick A-level anti-theft doors that could not be cut with knives and axes. There was a window in the middle of the door, which could be opened from the inside to see the outside. After all the doors were installed, Lin Yiran was still not assured, so he took Qiu Qin and the others out to bring back several more doors, and added an iron gate in the middle of the staircase leading to the 17th floor. The rest were placed in the corridor for future use. When Su Yu mentioned the windows, he looked at her complicatedly before saying, "My original doors and windows are all bulletproof grade, don't worry, I just added a few more layers of insurance." Now, the apartment where they lived had been transformed into a fortress of iron and steel. Su Yu saw that it was still early, so she went down with Lin Yiran and the others to look for supplies. When they were halfway down the stairs, a couple happened to come upstairs. The girl was being stubborn with the boy, running upstairs angrily without looking at people, and Su Yu moved to the wall to avoid being hit, but even so, the girl still hit her shoulder. After hitting someone, she even complained wrongly: "Don't you have eyes!" Su Yu rubbed her shoulder and kicked her, causing the girl to fall to the ground. "Aaaaah!" The girl fell to the ground and screamed. "Are you crazy!"

The boy immediately stepped forward and wanted to hit her, but Lin Yiran stood in front of Su Yu, and Li Zhun and Qiu Qin stared at him intently. The tall man who was over 1.8 meters looked down at the boy. "What do you want to do?" The boy swallowed his saliva and shouted forcibly, "Why are you bullying my girlfriend? Are you taking advantage of the fact that there are more of you to bully us?" Su Yu stared coldly at the girl, who just happened to look back and hatefully stared at her. "She hit me first." "Did you hear that? Your girlfriend hit someone first, it's not our fault." The girl had already gotten up. Probably, her knee was skinned, and she walked with a limp. She cursed at Su Yu angrily, "Are you crazy? I just touched you lightly, and you want to kick me! Venomous!" Su Yu grinned, "Know that, stay away from me in the future." After that, regardless of how she shouted, she headed downstairs without looking back, and the three boys followed behind her. On the way, Li Zhun was chatterbox. "These people are really, they hit someone themselves but made a false accusation. They gave them face!" "Su Yu, you did a good job! You should do this, let them know that we are not easy to bully." Su Yu's ears were buzzing from being noisy all the way, and finally, Lin Yiran kicked him, successfully making him shut up. The world became quiet.
