"Where are you going? The rain has stopped. It would be great if you could just stay at home and wait for rescue."
One by one, kind old ladies gave reminders.
Sheng Luan said,
"No, I'm starving and can't wait any longer."
She looked full of energy and didn't look hungry at all.
But her words managed to resonate.
People in the hallway began to cry out,
"I haven't eaten for three days."
"Your three days is nothing. I didn't eat for four days. I just drank the rain water that fell from the sky. I had diarrhea for two days."
Most people had run out of food and could only collect rainwater for survival. Rainwater is raw after all, and drinking too much would cause stomach upset.
Yan Feng covered his nose. No wonder the corridor smelled so bad.
It was raining outside, and they were running around in the corridor.
Thinking of this, Yan Feng began to dry heave.
His reaction made the person who had just spoken glare at him,
"What do you mean, are you making fun of me?"
Yan Feng shook his head hurriedly.
"No, I ate moldy steamed buns and my stomach hurts."
After he said that, everyone felt a little better.
It is human nature that when one is suffering, one cannot bear to see others having an easier time. Only when you suffer as well can everyone feel better.
"Honestly, you'd better not go out. The water is so deep outside. It's very dangerous to go out."
Yan Luo sighed inwardly, they didn't know that the rain would continue to fall at night.
But they were right about one thing: the rescue team would come soon to evacuate the people.
But Yan Luo didn't plan to join the rescue team.
"Several of us can swim, and since we have nothing to do, we decided to go out and try our luck."
Cai Tiantian mocked in the corner,
"Don't mind your own business. The people on the 18th floor are all warriors. Your kindness is not appreciated."
Yan Luo glanced at Cai Tiantian. She hadn't had any food to eat in the past few days and quarreled with her husband every day. She looked sloppy and haggard, and it was obvious that she was living a miserable life.
Yan Luo had limited time, so he didn't bother with them and went downstairs quickly.
All the way to the ninth floor, there was water in the corridor. When standing in the corridor, the water was up to the knees.
There were no windows in the fire escape, so the three of them waded through the water to the edge of the fire escape, then put down the kayak and jumped on.
Yan Luo was unwilling to use a kayak with Yan Feng, both to train him and to allow them to carry more supplies later.
Sheng Luan got on the kayak and invited,
"Where are you going? If you have no purpose, then follow me. I know an office building with many shops. You will definitely find something there."
Since the other party is kind, Yan Luo will not be cold to him.
"Where is the office building you are talking about?"
Sheng Luan told me the location.
Everyone knows that the water in the city center is deeper, there are more people, and the distance is farther, so people won't go to the city center, but will stay near the university town.
The construction site Yan Luo wanted to go to happened to be nearby, so he nodded.
"Then let's go together."
It took nearly an hour to row from Huayuan Community to the office building.
On the road, countless residential buildings were soaked in water. Outside the residential area was an open area of water that was turbid and dangerous. Although the rain had stopped, waves would still rise when the wind blew.
The kayak was like a tiny leaf, drifting with the current, and the people on the boat tried hard to control the direction.
Although Sheng Luan is a woman, her face is not red and she is not out of breath. Her physical fitness is even better than Yan Feng's.
The two women looked at each other admiringly.
Yan Feng felt that he was deeply despised.
This office building has thirty floors in total. Everything on the lower ten floors must be broken, so they plan to clean up the upper twenty floors.
Yan Luo said,
"I'll go up there and walk from the top down."
Sheng Luan and Yan Feng had no objection.
After Yan Luo left, he put on his diving gear while no one was around and jumped into the water from the window on the twelfth floor.
The construction site was just behind the office building. She dived into the water and first got a bunch of construction vehicles and steel bars. She didn't know if the construction vehicles could be used after being soaked in water, but there was plenty of space in the space anyway.
When the time comes, I'll have someone repair it. If it can't be repaired well, I'll have to use the one she bought abroad, but it's slow.
Yan Luo quickly returned to the office building, threw the rope in her hand, and the claw at the other end of the rope firmly grasped the 15th floor. She grabbed the rope and climbed up.
After changing her clothes, she quickly climbed up.
The 30th floor is the top floor, where there is a large Internet company. Yan Luo found some snacks on the employees' desks, collected a lot of coffee and a coffee machine in the tea room, and took away detergent, laundry detergent, disinfectant, and two large boxes of toilet paper in the bathroom.
Further down there were a few small companies that also collected a lot of snacks.
There are two fitness rooms on the 25th floor. Yan Luo collected several large fitness equipment and also did not miss the protein powder and fat-reducing meals in the cupboard.
Going further down, Yan Luo entered a selection of high-quality products, which sold almost everything. The main product was cute and fashionable, and there were all kinds of snacks, toys and household items. Yan Luo didn't even look at them and just put them into his space.
There are several pet shops below, with a few kittens and puppies in them that should be cute, but since no one feeds them, only a snow-white Samoyed is alive.
Yan Luo collected all the cat food, dog food and cat litter in the pet store. When he saw the Samoyed that was dying of hunger but still smiling at him, he couldn't help it and collected it as well.
There is a big surprise on the 21st floor.
This is a live broadcast company. Seven or eight of the dozen rooms are used for live broadcasts, and each room is filled with samples. These samples are for the purpose of publicity, and the quality is first-class.
Yan Luo unceremoniously took away all the income space.
She thought about it and decided that she couldn't meet Yan Feng and Sheng Luan empty-handed, so she took five or six extra-large big sacks in the live broadcast room, moved eight or nine large boxes, then picked some food and daily necessities from the space, filled the bags and boxes, and piled them in the corridor on the 20th floor.
The 20th floor was a clothing store. Before she entered, she heard Sheng Luan's voice.
"Yan Feng, you go look at the men's clothing section, and I'll go look at the women's clothing section."
Yan Luo went downstairs and met Yan Feng first.
"Xiao Feng, how was the harvest?"
Yan Feng gestured with great joy.
"We found a lot of food and packed it up and put it in the hallway. We'll carry it downstairs later."
"Okay, you go ahead and look for it. I'll go look at the women's clothing."
Before leaving, Yan Luo felt that Yan Feng's way of packing things was wrong. She put the clothes Yan Feng found in the bag and squeezed them hard, saving half of the space.
There were a lot of women's clothes. Yan Luo mainly picked out comfortable ones and soon filled a sack with them.
The three of them met, and Yan Luo looked at his watch.
"That's about it. Let's start moving our stuff. Even if we look for more, the boat won't be able to hold it all."
"good!"
There were the most things in the corridor on the 20th floor, so the three of them carried them down together.
Because the rain had just stopped, everyone was waiting for rescue, so few people came out to look for supplies. They were not worried about someone stealing them, so they put everything on the eleventh floor.
