Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies Chapter 30 - 30 You Need Some Shame!

"Look, Qiqi, I told you she would co back! It's almost 5:30, and the Blood Mosquitoes are about to launch a large-scale operation. Going out at this hour is a dead end!"

He Chuni pulled Zhang Qiqi's hand and walked back while talking confidently.

The others were taken aback by her words, but then they ca to their senses.

The governnt had issued a Blood Mosquito alert at noon, advising citizens to return ho by 5:30 and to keep doors and windows tightly shut.

Most of the people involved in the "siege" were from Building A, but there were also a few from other buildings.

If they were to go back late, they might encounter the Blood Mosquitoes.

However, previously, only the residents of Building D had encountered them, and there hadn't been much talk about other buildings.

Plus, at this mont, the resident of 3201 was about to return, and victory seed within reach, so those few did not want to give up just yet.

Everyone exchanged glances and ultimately decided to stay.

They happened to hit the peak ti when other residents were returning ho, and the elevator stopped frequently, struggling to reach the 32nd floor.

Just when everyone started doubting whether Jiang Yan had actually gone up, the door to 3204 squeaked open.

A young couple in their twenties ca out.

The man was tall and straight, sporting a crew cut and about 1.78 ters tall.

The woman was of average height, well-proportioned, with her long black hair tied into a high ponytail.

Both were dressed in quick-drying, sweat-wicking shorts, sporting shoes, and wearing sports watches, looking like they were about to go for a workout.

"Su Dai, Sun Jingtao, you guys were ho after all?! Perfect timing, co join us!" He Chuni quickly greeted them enthusiastically as she saw them.

Su Dai was a fitness trainer, and Sun Jingtao was a forr military officer, now working in the security departnt of a certain institution.

Normally, on weekends at this ti, they would go to the gym near their community, where Su Dai worked, to exercise.

The weather had been too hot these past few days, and with the ergence of Blood Mosquitoes that attacked people, they had recently chosen to climb stairs within the building instead.

Having stayed ho all day today, they were getting restless. But with the temperature so high, continuing to climb stairs was clearly unrealistic.

So, they planned to walk around on different floors, treating it as a walk.

Hearing what He Chuni said, Su Dai smiled slightly, speaking softly, "Sister Chuni, we would rather not join."

He Chuni hadn't expected her to refuse and felt sowhat embarrassed.

After all, residents from other floors and buildings had responded to the call to participate. As neighbors, shouldn't they support each other even more?

Most importantly, the group she was leading consisted of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the pregnant.

If it ca down to a scramble, the odds would be fifteen to eighty-five.

But she knew the backgrounds of Su Dai and her husband's work, especially Sun Jingtao, who clearly had so capabilities.

If she could gain their support, their chances of winning would be a hundred percent.

Thinking of this, He Chuni raised her voice slightly and said,

"Why not join? You've been cooped up at ho all day, aren't you hot? I saw the weather forecast, and it's going to be even hotter the day after tomorrow! You don't know, that young lady in 3201, she has two big air conditioners at ho! We are all neighbors; we should be united at this mont~"

Her words sounded a bit like moral blackmail, and others chid in after her.

"Exactly, both of you, join us, the more people, the greater our strength!"

"Miss, let's do it together!"

"..."

Sun Jingtao, a straightforward person, was displeased upon hearing this,

"Sister He, aren't you misunderstanding the word 'battle line'? A battle line implies struggle and enemies; since we're all neighbors, why bring up the word 'battle line'?!"

At this, He Chuni's face turned sour for a mont, and she spoke in an elder's lecturing tone, "Ah, look at what Xiao Sun is saying; I was just making a casual analogy."

"What casual analogy? Blustering all day about air conditioning like jumping monkeys! People need to have a face, trees need bark! If she doesn't want to let you in, why do you insist unreasonably?

Look at the ss you've made on the 32nd floor! Moreover, ganging up on a young lady, what kind of behavior is that?!

And involving children as well, is this how you set an example for the kids?! Have so dignity!" Sun Jingtao retorted emphatically.

Muscles tensed as emotions built up like gunpowder in each individual.

Upon hearing Sun Jingtao's retort, He Chuni also beca angered, and she justified staunchly,

"How can you talk like this, Xiao Sun?! Her apartnt is so big, the air conditioner will cool one person or a group just the sa, and it's so hot these days, everyone is getting heatstroke! Isn't it only natural for her to lend a hand?! Besides, we are not asking for free!"

"Sister Chuni, she doesn't owe you a kinship; choosing to help you is a favor, not helping is her right, what 'natural' are you talking about here, why should you trouble the young lady?" Su Dai gently took Sun Jingtao's arm and spoke slowly.

She and Sun Jingtao had acted early, having bought an air conditioner from an online platform as soon as they noticed the abnormal weather.

The air conditioner was scheduled to be installed tomorrow morning.

Their apartnt was situated at the opposite end of the sa corridor as Jiang Yan's. They had clearly witnessed everything that had happened at Jiang Yan's door today.

At this pace, He Chuni and the others would soon replicate their tactics against them.

So, in a way, they and Jiang Yan were on the sa side.

By clarifying their stance now, it was much better than dealing with the ss the day after tomorrow.

Additionally, the couple's values were relatively upright on normal days.

Seeing the couple in sync, He Chuni scoffed mockingly,

"Su Dai, you and your husband are speaking without a care in the world! If your child who died in the womb had been born successfully, he or she would be three or four years old now, right?! If you had a child and they might suffer from heatstroke, would you still speak so lightly?!!"

"You—" Su Dai's face changed abruptly upon hearing this.

She pursed her lips, her eyes reddened, and her fists clenched as she moved to confront He Chuni, but her husband, Sun Jingtao, pulled her back.

"Baby, don't stoop to her level; she's just being an unreasonable lunatic today!" Sun Jingtao was actually more angry than she was, but he held back, his forearms bulging with restrained fury.

If they were to physically confront He Chuni now, wouldn't that just divert the problem towards them?

He wasn't foolish.

Moreover, he worked in an institution.

Although he was in charge of an inconspicuous security departnt, he was still a leader and needed to be mindful of his external influence and image.

Others were about to step forward and diate when Song Xiaofei, who had been watching the elevator floor indicator, suddenly cried out,

"Mom! Mom! The elevator's almost at the 32nd floor!"
