Chapter 12: Chapter 12 United Front Chapter 12: Chapter 12 United Front “If there’s one of them, there’s bound to be a second, I think we should present a united front.”
“Hmm, what do you an?”
Jhiang Yuan was shocked. He actually wanted to join forces with us, was that the aning?
“It’s just our two households on this floor, my family has a lot of stored food, and I believe yours does too.”
Nonsense, didn’t you see it all?
2102 looked at her and continued, “We both have generators, and we’ve been targeted. Haven’t you seen the ssages in the chat group?”
What ssages? Jhiang Yuan belatedly took out her phone.
Damn, those shaless jerks actually @’ed them, scolding for not sharing air conditioning.
“I really didn’t see it. Does that person have a screw loose or what, making a fuss about this in the group chat?”
“No need to bother with them, but they might co again next ti.”
Jhiang Yuan wholeheartedly agreed. Shaless people definitely co back ti after ti.
“You installed that security door in the ergency passage, right?”
“Yeah.”
Isn’t that just obvious? Such a high-quality security door with a passcode lock, the developer must be crazy to provide sothing so good.
“Let’s just lock this one, it’ll save us a lot of trouble.”
Suited her just fine, of course, and Jhiang Yuan was not stingy. She imdiately registered his fingerprint, after all, he needed to get ho too.
After the process, Jhiang Yuan went back for so disinfectant and sprayed everything inside and out, with 2102 accompanying her the entire ti.
This guy, he’s really got nothing better to do.
“I’m Song Yi. What’s your na…”
“Jhiang Yuan…”
“If the temperature keeps rising, I expect more people will co knocking. Let’s keep a united front, help no one, and if there’s trouble, just call .”
“Sure.”
It’s not just talk, just by looking at his muscles, you can tell he’s strong, and he is a veteran too. Better a friend than an enemy, certainly.
At ho, there’s two elderly, one weak and one small. To say they could overpower him would probably be harder than winning five hundred million.
Yeah, a united front is good.
Jhiang Yuan went back and briefly filled her dad and mom in on the situation, but one should always stay vigilant against others.
There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.
But the waterlon he brought over was really nice, Xiao Nuan’s favorite fruit is waterlon.
We stored quite a bit at ho, but were afraid it’d spoil, that stuff does not last long.
Everyone happily ate waterlon, and the group chat blew up again, but this ti it was the courier collection point’s group.
Because soone caught herpes zoster and was taken away by the ambulance, the video was shot up close. It looked terrifying, his entire face was covered, you couldn’t even make out his eyes.
What followed was mostly panic, and then more people fainted from the heat and were taken by ambulances. Before long, the entire network was filled with complaints and grievances.
Jhiang Yuan’s face was full of irony. They should save so electricity while they can, because when the power’s out, and they can’t get out, that’s the real panic.
1101: Dear kind-hearted guys and girls, can you sell so food? We didn’t store any, I’ll pay, I’ll pay.
And then, there was no then…
The group chat fell silent, because after experiencing the mask issue and the recent heat wave, it was likely everyone had bought so stored food. How long it would last was another matter.
Now, no one dared to guarantee when things would return to normal outside. It wasn’t a matter of a few bucks or even tens of bucks. Having an extra pack of instant noodles ant more peace of mind. Only a fool would sell now.
But there are always fools, and the avatar for 1101 was that of a goddess-level character.
Probably trying to gain so visibility, after half a day of silence, a kind soul finally spoke up.
1001: “Miss, do you want to co downstairs for so noodles? I’m cooking myself.”
1101: “Yay, happy, I’ll be right down.”
…
These idiots, Jhiang Yuan began silently counting, 1/2/3…
0801: “Big Brother, can you bring along? I’m willing to pay, or I still have two bags of chicken feet here.”
See, she knew it…
Even the video app couldn’t stay quiet, it seed like Jhiang Yuan was bombarded with shingles alerts, the topic was everywhere, looking both pitiable and terrifying…
According to gossip, because of this, West City has already had more than thirty deaths, and the hospitals are overwheld.
It’s not the heat that’s killing them, it’s the blisters. There are no beds left, people are living in the hallways.
Even ambulances have broken down on the Third Ring due to the high temperatures, such news is commonplace…
It wasn’t until night that the community finally quieted down, and it seed like the ergency ambulances ceased coming too.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t dare to turn on the lights; as it got dark, she went to her room to sleep.
Xiao Nuan was especially well-behaved, not making a fuss or noise; when told to sleep, she actually went to sleep, even before the bedti story was finished.
mories flooded back, Xiao Nuan was so sensible and obedient, she couldn’t understand how Xia Chaoyang could be so heartless.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Jhiang Yuan opened up his social dia…
“Celebrating a day of new beginnings…”
That was the day she moved out from there.
“Having a ho, having you…”
The accompanying photo was of him with Bai ngng and that stepson.
“The weather’s too hot, but having you feels so sweet…”
Really, it was all about flaunting their love…
She scrolled to a post in the middle, “Coming back to escape the heat…”
That must have been his moving announcent, attached with a small video. If nothing went wrong, they should be in Unit 1 of Building 9 by now.
Great, Building 9 was just in front of Building 13, to the left front side, how convenient.
These two had played her for a fool for several years and now seed to have successfully settled down, but they must withstand the test.
Before, asking him to make a social dia post was like asking for his life.
He would always claim he was a straightforward guy and couldn’t handle such nonsense, but now he can, the shaless jerk.
Don’t be in a hurry, let them flaunt for a couple of days; when the order collapses, she must take her revenge.
The humiliation from her past life and Xiao Nuan’s death were things she could not let go of for a long ti, these two must pay the price, just wait…
The hoowners’ group was silent too, after causing such a fuss for so long, they were probably exhausted.
As for whether the lady on the 11th floor went to the 10th floor for noodles or the person on the 8th floor managed to mooch so air conditioning, it all beca irrelevant to her.
The visit from soone downstairs today gave Jhiang Yuan a sense of crisis.
Ever since the apocalypse began, they had always been extrely careful, fearful of doing sothing wrong, but in the end, they still drew attention.
She had bought quite a few slingshots and toy guns online. Jhiang Yuan thought that if it were possible, she and her parents should perhaps practice.
But there was no room left in the house; the balcony was a good option, yet too unbearably hot to go out.
In her last life, around November, they entered the rainy season, followed by endless severe cold.
If things go as expected, this extre heat should end in a little over twenty days.
In these twenty or so days, who knows how many will die, who knows how long the hospitals can hold out…
