Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Requesting Cooperation

Today, the body temperature has stabilized, no more fever.

After coming out of the space, I changed into clean clothes and quickly went to sleep.

The snow clearing downstairs, however, wasn’t going smoothly, and by the third day, hardly anyone was bothering with it.

Jhiang Yuan hadn’t expected that on this day, she would actually receive a group of unwelcome guests.

The people were shouting on the nineteenth floor and it was Zhang Kaiyang who went to open the door.

Fan Qing came up to call both her and Song Yi down, and Jhiang Xingzhi followed as well.

With his daughter’s health not yet restored, he was not at ease.

Zhang Kaiyang, however, did not open the door. Since coming back yesterday, he even locked the door to the nineteenth floor.

Anyway, this floor was unoccupied; doing this would at least protect his own interests.

"Here at last? You sure put on quite a show, seeing you guys is really this hard, huh!"

Jhiang Yuan hadn’t expected to see Fan Yao here and couldn’t help frowning.

Fan Qing, on the other hand, gave no face to her and retorted right back.

"Who do you think you are? If it were up to me, I wouldn’t even open the door for you."

"You, Qingqing, how did you become like this.

Now that Uncle and Aunt are not by your side, I am qualified to take care of you."

Ah, acting like an elder now, can’t she see how much she’s disliked by others!

Talk about being preposterous!

"Enough, Yaoyao, hold back on some of your comments, will you?"

The one who spoke was Old Wu, Fan Yao was on good terms with his young followers, naturally, she had to give him face.

Though she looked indignant, she didn’t say anything further.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don’t be angry, we’ve come today to discuss something.

We want to organize everyone in the building to clear the snow together; you know there are only a few households left.

The first two days were fine, but today nobody showed up, everyone feels it’s too cold.

But if we don’t clean up the snow, eventually we won’t even be able to leave our homes."

Explaining with reason, appealing with emotion, Old Wu was indeed a capable leader.

People on this side just listened quietly, not joining in the conversation.

He thought they were persuaded and continued to make his case.

"I know you all are tough characters, and you find resources better than most, but if the path is blocked, it’s inconvenient for everyone.

We can cooperate and mobilize the people in the building together."

After finishing, he looked at Song Yi and the others with expectant eyes.

Zhang Kaiyang observed him and was the first to speak up.

"The snow keeps falling nonstop; what was cleared yesterday is covered again today. It’s normal for people not to want to do this fruitless work!"

"Oh, young man, you can’t say that.

If we continuously neglect it, the snow might even reach the eighth floor. At least now we can still get out."

Hearing this, Old Xu, who had been silent until now, also spoke up.

"That’s right, we shouldn’t ignore it; otherwise, it will only get thicker, and we won’t be able to leave our homes later on."

The logic was clear, but they didn’t really have matters to attend outside.

"What you’re saying is right!"

"Big brother, does that mean you agree to cooperate with us?"

Counting on the few conversations they had, Old Wu acted very affable.

"Don’t misunderstand, I just think there’s no point in doing futile work."

"How can it be futile? Don’t you want to go out?"

"I do want to go out, but roaming around downstairs isn’t as good as staying at home.

I understand your thoughts, but even if you clear the snow below, what about the snow outside?

What’s so interesting about wandering in the community?"

Song Yi said that, prompting people to think more.

If there are connections between the buildings, it sure isn’t for mutual assistance.

When the fake rescue team came last time, so many came out, all from homes that had something.

The ones well-stocked with food and drink still haven’t shown themselves.

After the snowstorm sealed the city, everything would change.

Then it would be survival of the fittest, and who would this road be convenient for?

"Brother, don’t overthink it, humans are social animals, no one can stay at home all the time.

If any problems arise later, we can unite from one building to another."

Old Wu’s reaction seemed a bit too eager, as if he had hit a nerve.

"I think being alone is not bad, we won’t join in clearing the snow downstairs."

"Yeah, elder brothers, we won’t join in that, no offense.

It’s just too cold, and our health is not good. We’ve had colds for a while, it’s really uncomfortable."

Zhang Kaiyang also came over to back them up, providing a reason that at least saved face.

"Why are you all so stubborn? Everyone going out to clear snow is also beneficial for you.

Besides, it’s not just us; there are other people in the building who can’t do much work."

Fan Yao quickly came over to mediate, but her words were laced with complaints.

"If you want to go, then go, take Li Tianyu with you. We don’t need you worrying about us here.

Take care, no need to see you out!"

Everyone could see that there was discord between the sisters, and Old Wu didn’t speak against Fan Yao.

Instead, he sighed regretfully and said, "I respect your decision, but I will continue to mobilize others.

Think it over carefully, if you want to join, we always welcome you."

Fan Yao was embarrassed by Fan Qing, now she looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.

For some reason, ever since she got involved with the twelfth floor, she didn’t even pretend to be innocent.

"Brother Wu, why are you being polite with them? These people are like stones in a latrine, both smelly and hard."

"Yaoyao, watch how you speak!"

Old Wu said casually, though in reality, Fan Yao was speaking his mind.

"There aren’t many people left in our building. We should be more united, we’re all brothers and sisters, you shouldn’t speak like that."

"Alright, you all go back and deal with it internally, we will take our leave now."

Song Yi didn’t want to listen to these people’s insinuations, where you need to be constantly on guard with what you say.

Just then, Jhiang Yuan coughed twice, sounding like a serious cold, so they directly refused and left.

As he turned, he said softly to Jhiang Yuan, "Let’s head back..."

"Hmm!"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to stay either, so she followed him upstairs.

"We’ll be leaving first then, ha!"

Zhang Kaiyang said as they all left.

"Brother Wu, see, I told you they’re difficult to talk to!"

"Sigh!"

Old Wu sighed and motioned for everyone to leave first.

Old Xu came over, but he didn’t say much.

The few of them directly went to Room 2002, and they surely had to discuss the recent events.

"This drives me crazy, Fan Yao did that on purpose just to piss me off."

"Forget about her, she’s just a little trickster. Brother Song, what do you think Old Wu and Old Xu are up to?"

Song Yi frowned, his expression grave.

"They are up to no good!"

"Indeed, I think there’s something very wrong with Old Xu!"
