Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies Chapter 52: A Lot of Information
Chapter 52: Chapter 52: A Lot of Information
“Husband, that girl next door probably won’t co back from the governnt shelter, right?”
He Chuni stood more than a ter away from Jiang Yan’s door, holding an almost dead flashlight, and flashed it a few tis towards the wire sh above the door.
The flashlight was actually very dim, and after looking up for a long ti, she couldn’t discern anything.
When many people had rushed out into the rain “for fun,” their family had stayed in the underground parking lot and didn’t go out.
They didn’t get rained on; they were dry.
But she had been frightened by that door last ti.
Even now, with the whole city experiencing a power outage, she still felt the aftereffects and dared not get too close.
“It’s highly likely that she will co back,” Zhou Guangfu opened the door with a “creak” and let his daughter and son enter the house first before answering her.
He Chuni: “Oh, why?”
“Before it was extre heat, and the governnt’s temporary shelters were all underground or in the mountains. Now with the torrential rain, those places have beco disaster areas for floods and landslides. The governnt will definitely choose to evacuate.
If it were , I would certainly follow the governnt personnel in search of a new location. But she doesn’t seem like soone who can endure hardships. With the storm outside so severe, she would probably choose to co ho first.”
Zhou Guangfu finished speaking and then changed the subject with a hint of suspicion: “Speaking of which, wife, didn’t you bla her for not opening the door for us before? Why are you suddenly concerned about her now?”
“Who has the ti to be concerned about her! I just think there’s a good show coming up! And it’s going to be the juiciest dog-eat-dog show!” Upon hearing this, He Chuni’s lips curved unconsciously, and her voice involuntarily rose a notch.
Zhou Guangfu’s previously calm face suddenly darkened upon hearing this:
“Wife, aren’t we too preoccupied with our own troubles to care about this? What kind of trouble are you planning to stir up now?”
His parents had passed away on the first night they moved down to the underground parking garage.
His father suffered a myocardial infarction induced by the heat, and his mother had a stroke, passing away in the middle of the night.
With the death of his parents, he seed to have woken up.
In the past, for the sake of family harmony, he always tried to tolerate everything He Chuni said and did.
To outsiders, this seed sowhat spineless.
He was aware of it, but chose to ignore it.
But now, with his parents gone and after experiencing more than twenty days of life that was neither human nor ghostly, he realized there was no need to tolerate it any longer.
“I’m not concocting anything! It’s not my turn to take action this ti. We just need to prepare our small stools at ho, along with peanuts and lon seeds! Husband, you know what happened when she went to the shelter; she left the sectional door ajar, and look how many people from our Building A it killed?!
Even Zhang Qiqi’s son was bitten to death by that swarm of Blood Mosquitoes! Ha! Just wait until those people co back ho to recuperate in the next couple of days, and then when that heartless, selfish, cold-blooded brat gets back, there will be quite a show!!” After saying this with schadenfreude, He Chuni didn’t forget to snort coldly through her nostrils.
“…” Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan from the surveillance side raised her brows slightly.
The amount of information was quite substantial.
“Alright, wife, you didn’t see it with your own eyes. Let’s not follow the crowd without evidence. Let’s go ho.
Aren’t you tired of standing all this ti?” Zhou Guangfu frowned and eventually suppressed the anger rising in his heart.
But He Chuni was sowhat persistent:
“What do you an there’s no evidence?! Many people saw her leave, and she herself posted in the group saying she was going to the governnt shelter!
And besides, if one person says there’s sothing wrong with her, it might not be true. But now, so many owners from our Building A say there’s sothing wrong with her, so there must be!
Just wait and see. Zhang Qiqi has been looking up to Zhang Qiming and Liu Dahong for support, and has even tead up with the owners whose families were attacked by the Blood Mosquitoes. They are just waiting for her to co back and tear her into pieces!!
Who knows, the other buildings might join in too! She sure strutted around with an electric saw in front of us, a group of the old, the weak, the sick, and pregnant.
This ti, in front of so many people, with a few security managers from the property present, I want to see how she jumps around!
I actually hope she hurries back!!!”
Zhou Guangfu, listening to her machine-gun-like words, had long since furrowed his brows into a small mountain: this was becoming more and more unreasonable!
“Wife, don’t you want to go ho? Fine, continue giving your impassioned speech here! I haven’t slept well for over twenty days! I’m tired!” Having said that, he exhaled deeply, turned his head, yanked open the door, and strode into the house.
The iron door slamd shut with a “bang!”
“…” He Chuni stood there, stunned for a mont: was this the first ti her husband had lost his temper with her??
Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard footsteps coming from the stairway.
Turning her head, she saw Sun Jingtao and Su Dai, drenched, looking like two drowned rats.
The mory of being verbally humiliated by them in front of everyone before sprang to mind, and with a sour mouth, He Chuni’s words ca out faintly:
“Yo, young people really enjoy themselves, eh, Xiao Sun, Su Dai, did you go out for a romantic walk in the rain?”
Most of those who had rushed into the rain earlier were young people.
Like them, who had not gotten their clothes wet and had simply returned ho directly from the underground parking lot.
“Spring—”
Su Dai was about to explain that they had gone to help the property move sandbags when Sun Jingtao grabbed her, “Let’s go ho, baby. There’s no use explaining to her when her words are so stupid and boring.”
Su Dai’s lips pursed, and she obediently murmured an “Mm.”
The two of them, hand in hand, turned around and went back to their house.
In the past, everyone, no matter what, would have still considered their neighbors’ feelings.
Most of the ti, people could keep a smile on their face while inwardly cursing.
But now, even seven- or eight-year-old kids knew that the apocalypse had arrived.
There was no need to indulge anyone anymore.
Left with a cold shoulder, He Chuni stood silently for a few seconds, a bit ashad, before finally opening the door and going back ho.
Jiang Yan watched the blank surveillance screen, recalling the words He Chuni had said earlier.
So, Zhang Qiqi had prepared a “welco back” gift for her.
Heh.
She had actually planned to go knock on their door a little later.
Well, good.
Then co at with all you’ve got!
*
Once again, her stomach “gurgled” a few tis, and Jiang Yan realized that she really needed to find food.
She put down her pad, stood up, and took a lightweight handwoven silk shawl from the wardrobe, draping it over her shoulders before going into the Space.
She had been eating too much spicy hot pot recently and felt a bit overheated, so she was planning to eat sothing light tonight.
With a thought, the one-person al set she had previously ordered from a Cantonese tea restaurant appeared on the dining table:
Pork rib and Chinese yam congee, blanched Chinese broccoli, stead chicken feet with soy sauce, pan-fried yellow croaker, spicy and sour lotus rootlets, plus a cup of iced lemon tea.
The dishes were simple, yet they had all the qualities of good food: color, aroma, and flavor.
Jiang Yan ate contentedly and satisfactorily.
