Chapter 187 The Blizzard Is Coming
Chapter 187: Chapter 187 The Blizzard Is Coming
Although they were many, it still took them nearly two hours.
Apart from the twenty-first floor, the situation on the twentieth floor wasn’t great either, and needed cleaning up.
The most terrifying was the combination of water and flour earlier, which had now frozen into ice.
They had to use little shovels to clean up, along with those white balls, which actually were prank toys.
Inside was powerful glue, which would burst open upon stepping on it.
The effect was good, but the battlefield was very hard to clean up.
But if they didn’t clean it up now, it would be even more troublesome later.
Before they knew it, it was almost seven o’clock; they had been busy for almost a whole day.
The door on the twenty-first level was now completely unusable, especially since they had used fire as a tactic before.
The wall was severely damaged, the exterior had fallen off, exposing the cement inside, and it actually looked rather ferocious.
"We can’t use this door anymore, we still need to think of a solution in the future,"
Everyone knew that one more door meant one more layer of security.
Today, these two doors had provided them with a lot of conveniences.
To say they were key to victory wasn’t an exaggeration, and it was quite a pity to see them damaged.
"I see that many apartments below are now unoccupied; we could just dismantle a door and install it here,"
What Zhang Kaiyang suggested was a good idea, as long as there were no people on this level, it wouldn’t be a problem.
"Also, this wall, there’s no way to repair it now; it’s too cold,"
Jhiang Xingzhi said with some regret, his abilities couldn’t be utilized at this time.
"It’s no problem, Uncle, it doesn’t matter. Everyone is tired today, let’s just go back and rest.
We still have to stay alert, there are still quite a few people in the neighborhood.
Those in camouflage clothing who came up probably also know about the situation in our building by now, so don’t sleep too soundly,"
Song Yi’s reminder wasn’t being overly anxious; several people nodded in agreement.
Liang Kang and Xiao Ling came to take Jingjing home; the little girl had a great time playing with Xiao Nuan and was a bit reluctant to leave.
"Xiao Nuan, big sister’s going home now. When we’re less busy, we’ll let big sister come over and play with you again, okay?"
Xiao Ling was a very patient person, rumored to have worked in the education sector before.
"Okay, Auntie, don’t forget to let big sister come over,"
"Of course, Auntie promises you."
After the family of three left, Qin Yue began preparing dinner.
In the afternoon, everyone had been working overtime, and now they were all exhausted.
They didn’t prepare anything too complicated, just boiling dumplings to make into a sour soup.
Just what everyone liked.
Jhiang Yuan went to freshen up, as she was covered with quite a few bloodstains, which were unsightly.
Now there was time and the conditions to clean properly; in tense times, hygiene truly became superfluous.
The apocalypse had cured many people of their obsession with cleanliness.
"Xiao Nuan, come here,"
The little girl, hearing her mother’s call, came running over eagerly.
"What is it, Mommy?"
Jhiang Yuan looked at the snack bags in the trash can, and sighed inwardly.
"Xiao Nuan, did you give big sister some yummy snacks today?"
"Yeah, I gave big sister some snacks; she said she hadn’t had any in a long time.
When food is scarce even for regular meals, snacks naturally become a luxury."
"Baby, listen to Mommy, we can’t just give away these snacks easily anymore, understand?"
Xiao Nuan blinked her innocent large eyes, a look of confusion on her face, "Why? Didn’t Mommy say we should learn to share?"
Ugh...
"Yes, we should learn to share, but not with everyone now.
We can only share with Mommy, grandma, and grandpa, because we are family.
Like the big sister today, we can’t share with her anymore."
"Why?"
The little girl especially didn’t understand. Her mother used to say that you should share with other children.
"That’s because the supermarkets are all closed now, and we can’t buy new snacks anymore. Once you’ve eaten all the snacks at home, we won’t have any tasty things left to eat.
Also, our daily meals are the same. If you share with others, then mommy, grandma, and grandpa will go hungry."
God knows, she didn’t want it to be this way, but there was no choice.
This child, since she has encountered the apocalypse, must get used to the survival rules of the apocalypse.
Generosity is definitely not an advantage.
"Mom, I don’t want you to go hungry, nor grandma and grandpa.
I will never give my food to others again, please don’t be angry, mom."
As the little girl spoke, she snuggled up to her.
Jhiang Yuan hugged her child close and comforted softly, "Xiao Nuan didn’t do anything wrong either, mommy knows you like your sister, but times are different now.
Alas!"
There was no help for it; she’d have to teach these things slowly.
After all, the child was just three years old. How much could she expect?
"Yuanyuan, come and eat!"
"Coming..."
Qin Yue was quick, preparing three large bowls of sour soup dumplings, plus a small bowl.
Xiao Nuan’s bowl didn’t have any chili; it smelled delicious too.
The family of four each sat on a chair, eating with great enjoyment.
"Daughter, I understand things clearly now after today’s incident.
From now on, it doesn’t matter who comes, we won’t go out anymore."
Thinking about it now, Qin Yue still felt a lingering fear.
"Yes, I almost couldn’t make it back today. By the way, dad, how did you end up coming out to meet us?"
When Jhiang Xingzhi spoke about this, he also felt very emotional. "You had been out for such a long time, I was worried!
I just went downstairs to check the situation. Those two girls were watching from the corridor.
I figured, I might as well keep watch when you returned.
Then I saw the fight break out downstairs, so several of us rushed down immediately.
Who would have known, those bastards actually surrounded the seventh floor.
We then went up, and just then Xiao Song came up..."
Jhiang Yuan already knew the rest of the story.
"It’s all thanks to you all going there, or who knows what might have happened today!"
It was precisely because of this event that she felt it truly wasn’t possible to manage alone.
In the past, she had been focused only on self-preservation.
But individual capabilities are insufficient; there are always external factors that you cannot predict.
If she had the skills of Song Yi, perhaps in an ample supply of resources and weapons, it might be possible to look out for oneself.
Her family, probably didn’t have that hope.
Nevertheless, there was no need to deliberately change anything; everyone should now have this mindset.
Usually, people stay to themselves, but at a crucial moment, the ability to defend together is enough.
Not often being together also reduces many conflicts.
After dinner, with a quick wash up, Jhiang Yuan went to bed to rest with her daughter.
Today, the little one hadn’t taken a nap, and now she could hardly keep her eyes open.
She was also very tired. Whatever else there was to deal with could wait until tomorrow.
She slept until midnight, when suddenly she felt a bit cold.
Jhiang Yuan woke with a start from her dreams, noticing something unusual outside; it was actually snowing.
No wonder those people had been so desperately aggressive.
Outside, the snowflakes were huge and white, really just like goose feathers.
But, it hadn’t fallen that fast yet. Still, if it snowed all night, there would be a thick layer by morning.
