Chapter 158: Chapter 157: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (31)
People who had never experienced such a situation would certainly panic.
Su Shu hurried back to the bed, woke Xiao’ai up, and changed the clothes of the drowsy child who had no idea what was happening, only feeling the noisy chatter around irritatingly disturbing.
Su Shu swiftly sorted out her belongings.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoxia also seed to sense sothing and, like Su Shu, began waking the two still sleeping children, urging them to quickly get dressed and pack the items usually left outside, waiting for Luo Gang to return and check the situation.
After Su Shu had finished with her things, she also helped them tidy up.
Su Shu and the two children pulled the Luo family’s beds over to her side, rging two families into one, positioning them even more to the side.
Su Shu whispered, “When Big Brother Luo cos back, let’s see and move out, don’t stay inside.”
Li Xiaoxia did not understand, “Why? It’s colder outside.”
“I feel a bit uneasy.”
Li Xiaoxia thought for a mont, “Okay, we’ll wait for him to return.”
Watching people inside going out and coming in, chattering incessantly about everything, the small space, already tight with hundreds of people, seed as if the roof might fly off from just one word from each person.
Su Shu’s and Li Xiaoxia’s expressions grew increasingly grim. Su Shu was sowhat better, having witnessed far greater chaos in the past, so this bit of disorder was nothing to her.
Li Xiaoxia felt the air inside was unbearably stuffy and too noisy.
She was concerned that, if everyone’s emotions continued to be so panicked and agitated, it could lead to trouble in the confined space, especially with the two adults from the Luo family and three children to manage, and Li Xiaoxia’s compromised health making it too dangerous.
In her urgency, Su Shu rapidly ca up with several plans and escape routes.
But she had forgotten that in this life, when the light in the sky fell, she was not the person she had been in her past life, helplessly hiding alone in an apartnt, terrified.
Suddenly, Luo Gang returned.
Seeing that his wife and children were awake and that Su Shu seed ready to evacuate at any mont, he was sowhat surprised.
“Were you scared?”
Li Xiaoxia asked, “What did you find out outside?”
Su Shu also looked toward Luo Gang, wanting to know the outside situation to compare it with her previous life’s conditions.
Seeing their eager faces, Luo Gang clearly told them what he had learned outside and ended with a comforting remark.
“Don’t be nervous just yet, I just went out to look, and the military forces assigned to our settlent seem quite capable, controlling everything well from inside out. I didn’t hear about any disorder. They’re currently distributing bedding house by house, and it seems there isn’t enough bedding. I saw a lot of military blankets also being distributed. Might be what the soldiers themselves use.”
“If they’re giving away their blankets, what will they cover with? Li Xiaoxia wondered.”
Su Shu frowned, thinking of soone.
Luo Gang said, “Who knows? When a major disaster strikes, it’s these soldiers who suffer first; it’s not easy for them.”
“Yeah, it’s not easy.”
As they conversed, Su Shu was silent for a while before suddenly raising her head to speak.
“I still feel we shouldn’t stay here any longer. Let’s see if we can move outside.”
Mr. and Mrs. Li Xiaoxia did not understand why Su Shu would abandon a shelter that shielded against wind and rain to live outside in a tent.
