Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Li Tianyu Disappeared
The incident just now didn’t really affect anything.
After everyone came back, they were still busy setting up the traps and mechanisms in the hallway.
In one day, the two floors had been mostly completed.
Song Yi, fearing it wasn’t safe, even did a simple treatment on the area leading to the nineteenth floor.
It was the kind that was very concealed, with the fear that someone might spot a flaw.
Once there were precautions, the effectiveness of the traps upstairs would diminish, and everyone’s hard work could go to waste.
Jhiang Yuan was very impressed by Song Yi’s meticulous planning, being able to prepare everything in advance.
It seemed like no one was coming downstairs to clear the snow anymore, even the people on the eighth and twelfth floors stopped doing it.
At the beginning, there was still a path down there.
Now it’s merged with the adjacent areas, it might be a bit lower, but from above, you really couldn’t tell.
The snow kept falling, a continuous week without stopping.
Jhiang Yuan’s cold had gotten a lot better, and no one at home had caught it either.
It seemed like everything was moving in a good direction, except for the problem of not being able to go out.
They would check the outside situation every day to ensure that the traps in the hallway were functioning properly.
Xiao Ling’s classes had also shifted to the mornings.
Xiao Nuan was still very happy, she would sleep in the afternoon, and by the time she woke up, it would be three or four in the afternoon.
Jhiang Yuan would take advantage of this time to do some exercises with the whole family, to strengthen their immunity.
They had stopped training together though, it was just too cold and nobody wanted to come out.
She also took the time to plant beans—soybeans, mung beans, and red beans.
The space had been carefully planned out to make full use of the land.
"The New Year is coming, and this year we won’t even get to watch the Spring Festival Gala..."
Qin Yue sighed, feeling mixed emotions.
It wasn’t so much about missing one episode of the Spring Festival Gala, but more about a sense of loss for the missing elements of civilization.
"Mom, it’s okay. Look, these past few days have been quite serene and comfortable for us.
Plus, I’ve downloaded the Spring Festival Galas from previous years. I’ll play your favorite sketches for you later."
"Okay..."
"Stop talking about those useless things. No one can help it. At least we have food and drink, so many people have starved..."
Jhiang Xingzhi didn’t know how to console her, but he felt quite content with the current situation.
"That’s true..."
Watching her parents share a love that endured all their lives, only to face the chaotic scene of the apocalypse, Jhiang Yuan also felt uncomfortable...
But she was powerless to change it.
The greater environment dictated their fate, and human strength seemed too insignificant.
After breakfast, as usual, she followed Song Yi to check on the situation outside.
Zhang Kaiyang seemed hesitant to speak, prompting her to ask.
"Sister Yuan, don’t you find it strange? I went back to my place last night.
Li Tianyu wasn’t there, and the door was locked. Don’t you think that’s odd?"
"Not there?"
How could he not be there? He had nowhere else to go!
"Yeah, weird, right?
I suspect those people from the twelfth floor took advantage of our inattention and did something to him, don’t you think?"
"Eh, it’s not impossible, but is Fan Yao really that cruel?
Last time, after the beating Li Tianyu received, if he didn’t die, it was certain he was half dead. She wouldn’t go so far as to kill him, would she?"
That was said, but nobody dared to be sure of it.
"She might not, but those three from 1202, that’s another story."
At that, a shiver went through everyone.
Having such neighbors in the apocalypse was definitely not a good thing.
There was no legal restraint left at all, a true sense of lawlessness.
"Be extra cautious!"
These past few days, let’s take turns standing duty to watch what’s happening downstairs.
And pay extra attention to things inside the building as well."
Everyone agreed with Song Yi’s suggestion.
Now that they had four families, they could be divided into four groups.
Song Yi was alone, so he was paired with Ye Mianmian.
They also arranged a duty roster so everyone was clear about when they were expected to work.
Life had been comfortable these two days, and Jhiang Yuan was in a good mood.
After returning home, she started preparing a beef pot.
She had been cooking often lately, and Qin Yue had grown accustomed to it.
The vegetables in the space were becoming increasingly abundant, and it was time to eat them before they went bad.
She didn’t want to waste them— even stealthily taking some out every day, there was still a lot.
Today, in addition to the beef pot, she also made a dry pot with shrimp.
The side dishes used potatoes, cauliflower, and celery, all chosen based on the stock at home.
Apart from the cauliflower, everything else was fresh.
Along with sour and spicy cucumber strips and stir-fried salty vegetables, Qin Yue found everything incredibly delicious.
"These frozen vegetables really are tasty, look at this celery, so tender!"
"Right, Mom, I told you not to blanch them too much, just a quick scald is enough. You see, the leaves are still perfectly shaped."
"Yes, my daughter is so clever."
Jhiang Xingzhi had eaten quite a lot as well, seeming to have gained some weight recently.
"By the way, when I was sweeping snow on the terrace, something felt quite strange."
"Strange, what’s up Dad?"
Jhiang Yuan didn’t pay much attention, just asking casually.
"Daughter, the snowfall was too heavy, I thought ’goose feather snow’ was already the heaviest.
But up there, snowflakes as big as a child’s palm were falling.
The weirdest thing is, once they landed, each snowflake didn’t seem to merge with the others, you could still make out their outlines.
They really looked like the kind with patterns on them, just like on TV..."
Huh, that is indeed a bit strange!
"Could it be the same situation downstairs, and we just didn’t know because we haven’t gone down?"
It wasn’t outside the realm of possibility; in these apocalyptic times, anything that happened was considered normal.
"Let’s hurry and eat. After dinner, I’ll go up and have a look..."
"Okay, I’ll go with you."
...
Qin Yue was left to clean up the dishes, while Jhiang Yuan and her father, Jhiang Xingzhi, headed to the terrace.
As it was dark, they brought flashlights and a big lantern with them.
"Daughter, don’t take that, it’s too conspicuous. If someone spots it, that won’t be good."
"Got it!"
Jhiang Yuan obediently put the big lantern down and then grabbed a strong flashlight.
As soon as they opened the door to the attic, the chill hit them, and the sensation of wind blended with snow was terrifying.
In that instant, Jhiang Yuan felt her face go stiff.
If the temperature in the hallway was cold enough to make her want to cry, then the conditions outside could probably freeze someone to death in five minutes.
The two didn’t venture far and planned to just look at the snowflakes nearby.
The flashlight beam was moved gently, careful not to shine it around recklessly.
This was the rooftop, and any carelessness could make them visible to people around.
Now everywhere was dark, and any light would be too conspicuous.
"Oh my, what the heck is this?"
Jhiang Yuan was startled, her voice almost breaking.
Not knowing what was happening, Jhiang Xingzhi quickly shone his light over and was also taken aback...
