Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 Water, the currently scarce resource.

Liu Ruoyan walked towards Zhao Xiaoyue step by step, scaring Zhao Xiaoyue so much that she directly fell to the ground.

"You... you... you... don't come any closer!"

"I'm wrong! I'm really wrong! I'll never dare to do it again!"

"It was all his idea! It has nothing to do with me! You've already killed him. Can you let me go?"

No matter what Zhao Xiaoyue said, Liu Ruoyan didn't stop walking and soon reached her.

Before Zhao Xiaoyue could open her mouth again, the dagger in Liu Ruoyan's hand slashed across Zhao Xiaoyue's neck.

The sharp dagger left a thin line on her neck.

Before the blood could spurt out, Zhao Xiaoyue's body was kicked to the ground by Liu Ruoyan.

Liu Ruoyan didn't look at Zhao Xiaoyue's body again and turned around to leave directly.

It's easy to change rivers and mountains, but hard to change one's nature.

No matter how much Zhao Xiaoyue admitted her mistakes and promised at this moment, as long as she was let go, she would surely come back for revenge.

Only the dead can be the most reassuring.

As Liu Ruoyan walked away step by step, the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and a huge full moon appeared in the sky.

The cold moonlight shone down, falling on Liu Ruoyan, making her back look a bit lonely.

In the shadowy corner, Zhang Yuan twirled the ring on his finger.

He also didn't expect that when he saw her again, he still saw her killing people.

He admired her decisiveness in killing.

But looking at her lonely and cold back, he felt a bit worried.

For the first time in his life, Zhang Yuan wanted to get close to someone.

He wanted to approach her, understand her.

Even... walk side by side with her.

Liu Ruoyan walked back to the car and drove away.

In her previous life, after the waterworks caught fire, the water supply in the community never recovered.

Everyone lined up to buy water in the supermarket.

Although the price of water in the supermarket wasn't that outrageous, it was restricted. Each person could only buy 500 milliliters per day.

What does 500 milliliters mean?

A bottle of Nongfu Spring is 500 milliliters.

One bottle of Nongfu Spring a day could only ensure that a person wouldn't die of thirst.

If there were many people in the family, more bottles could be bought and used for cooking and frying.

But if there was only one or two people in the family, two bottles of water bought back weren't even enough for cooking instant noodles, let alone washing or taking a bath.

Besides buying water in the supermarket, there would also be water supply trucks coming to the community to sell water.

But the price was twice as expensive as that in the supermarket.

There were quite a few rich people in their community. Every time the water supply truck came, many people lined up to buy water.

But the water they bought could only ensure eating and brushing teeth and washing faces.

As for taking a bath, such a luxurious thing, not many people could do it.

Liu Ruoyan decided that after going back today, she wouldn't use the toilet anymore.

Everyone didn't even have water for cooking. If she still had water to flush the toilet, it would be too much.

Although Liu Ruoyan had never used cat litter before, she could accept it. She wasn't a squeamish person.

From this day on, Liu Ruoyan, like at the beginning of the apocalypse, went downstairs once a day.

Each time she went down, Liu Ruoyan carried a bag on her back and a bucket in her hand.

There were many people like Liu Ruoyan.

The only difference was that the bucket in other people's hands was a toilet.

The bucket in Liu Ruoyan's hand was an empty bucket.

Liu Ruoyan was just putting on an act to avoid others noticing that she was different.

But it wasn't a long-term solution.

However, since the news of the safe base hadn't been announced yet, Liu Ruoyan could only continue to wait.

Half a month after the complete water cut-off, the incidents of robbery increased day by day.

Not only would people be robbed when they went out to buy water, but some people were also robbed in their own homes.

This had also happened in her previous life.

At this time in her previous life, Liu Ruoyan was thinking about how to buy more water every day and didn't pay much attention to the news on the Internet.

By the time she heard about it, it was already that someone in the community had been robbed.

Those robbers were all big and strong men.

Some of them were originally small-time thugs, and some joined later.

These people initially just lay in ambush on the road to rob people who went to buy supplies.

But soon they weren't satisfied with this. They thought that the things they robbed this way were too few and too slow.

So they set their sights on some wealthy communities.

They thought that the people in these wealthy communities were rich and must have a lot of supplies in their hands.

The robbed people also called the police, but the police didn't respond until the next night.

There was no surveillance, and the robbed people didn't see the robbers' faces clearly. In the end, nothing was found out, and it could only be left unresolved.

Now, some people who were already eager to try also became robbers.

Buying things not only cost money and required queuing but also couldn't buy much.

But when it came to robbing, the situation was completely different.

Everyone didn't want to be robbed. Some people decided to stick together for warmth and fight back vigorously.

Some people thought they couldn't fight back and simply joined them and became looters.

The only remaining order was shattered in an instant by this turmoil.

In her previous life, Liu Ruoyan didn't want to be a looter or be looted by others. She could only fight back vigorously to protect herself.

Some people saw that she was good at fighting and came to ask her to form a team and seek her help.

After getting her protection, they were unwilling to contribute anything. When she was in danger, they abandoned her and fled.

From that time on, Liu Ruoyan decided not to meddle in other people's business anymore.

What did other people's lives and deaths have to do with her?

The truth she had understood in her last life, Liu Ruoyan certainly wouldn't meddle in other people's business again in this life.

Liu Ruoyan lived her days behind closed doors every day. When she was in a good mood, she ate crayfish and barbecue. When she was in a bad mood, she had a bowl of snail powder and two tiger-skin chicken feet.

After eating, she took a hot bath, lay on the bed blowing the air-conditioning fan, watching a movie or a variety show. She lived a carefree life.

Time flew by, and it was already November.

In November in the north in previous years, it had already cooled down, and people had to wear overcoats.

But now, the temperature during the day still remained at fifty or sixty degrees.

At night when the sun went down, the temperature still remained at thirty or forty degrees.

After several months, people gradually became anxious at first, then collapsed, and now gradually became numb.

Ten days ago, the power had been completely cut off.

The continuous high temperatures had caused too many fires, and the circuits were burned out and couldn't be repaired.

After the power outage, the lives of people living on high floors became even more difficult.

Many people took their supplies and negotiated with people on lower floors to move to live on lower floors.

On Liu Ruoyan's floor, only Liu Ruoyan herself was left. Everyone else had already moved to lower floors.

During this period of time, when Liu Ruoyan went out at night, she had also been targeted by people.

After all, Liu Ruoyan was just a single young girl, and anyone would think she was easy to bully.

But after Liu Ruoyan cut the tendons of the man who wanted to rob her of water in front of everyone, no one dared to cause trouble for her anymore.
