Chapter 86: Chapter 78 Who Says There’s No Land Too Poor to Farm?_2
"Hoo~"
She hurriedly held onto the shoe cabinet, heart pounding with fear, taking deep breaths one after another.
The vision in front of her slowly faded away, and her sight gradually returned.
"Am I...am I sick? No, no, it must be low blood sugar."
She staggered towards the bedroom, rummaging through the corner of the wardrobe for hidden snacks.
These days, she had been surviving on these snacks.
However, there weren’t many left now, only three small buns.
She gulped with difficulty, tore open a bun, and took small bites.
With the help of saliva, she slowly broke down the glucose in the bun.
The sweet taste of the bun made her unable to resist; she swallowed it in one big gulp.
Then, in just a few bites, the small bun was gone.
But instead of feeling better, her stomach felt even hungrier.
She was so hungry she couldn’t stand it, wanting to eat all the buns at once.
She quickly closed the cabinet door, suppressing the greedy thoughts, and hurried to the balcony.
Grabbing the rainwater she had collected, she didn’t bother heating it up and drank it hurriedly.
A large amount of rainwater filled her stomach, giving an illusory feeling of fullness.
She put the container back and continued collecting water, then lay down on the bed.
Whoosh.
She seemed to hear the sound of water sloshing around in her stomach.
"There’s no food left, I can’t hold on any longer."
"Do I really have to go out?"
"Granny Li... Granny Li is a good person, maybe I can borrow some food from her."
At this moment, she couldn’t care less about being cautious; as long as someone could lend her food, she would do anything.
Hu Weimin lived on the 19th floor. After the flood, he had been hiding at home with his wife and child.
They had quite a bit of food, and with careful rationing, the family of three had managed to get by until now.
When Liu Erlong was scouring the building, Hu Weimin heard the screams from downstairs, so he smartly moved his family to the corridor for safety.
When Liu Erlong’s group broke into his home, they found nothing of value and were too preoccupied with dealing with Liang Yuan to notice his family.
Later, when Liang Yuan and others killed Liu Erlong, causing unrest among the residents, they united to deal with Liu Erlong’s gang.
Hu Weimin didn’t dare to join, hiding with his family in the corridor.
When the chaos subsided, he quickly moved his family back home.
Utilizing this time gap, they survived until Liang Yuan’s group cleared the building.
At this moment, Hu Weimin and his family were in their living room on the 19th floor, unit 1902.
Their son was eleven years old, and his wife Liu Xiuxian was 42, two years younger than Hu Weimin.
Liu Xiuxian rubbed her hungry stomach and asked, "Honey, what are you doing?"
Hu Weimin was counting the remaining food on the table.
They didn’t have much left: two packs of instant noodles, a bag of nuts, three bags of waffles, and half a chocolate.
Hu Tutu, their son, couldn’t help but say, "Dad, I’m so hungry, I want to eat something."
Hu Tutu looked longingly at the snacks on the table, trying to take some.
Hu Weimin slapped his hand away, "Don’t touch that. These are our lifelines."
Liu Xiuxian pulled her son aside, "Honey, what should we do now? Are those people named Liang telling the truth?"
"Is the first unit really safe?"
Hu Weimin nodded slightly, "It should be. Liu Erlong and his people are indeed dead, and the female monster on the 14th floor was also killed. I just went to check with Old Liu from next door."
"Now, it’s just us and a few other families in the first unit. The safety door in the corridor is locked as well."
Liu Xiuxian sighed with relief, "Thank God, it’s finally safe. You don’t know, when Liu Erlong and his people were around, I couldn’t sleep at night."
Hu Weimin nodded, "Indeed, the sooner Liu Erlong and his garbage were gone, the better."
"Those people named Liang are really good people," Liu Xiuxian said, "We’re lucky to have them, otherwise we’d still be bullied by Liu Erlong."
Hu Weimin glanced at his wife, "Silly, how do you know those people won’t become the next Liu Erlong?"
"Huh? No way, he... didn’t he say he wouldn’t kick us out? And he didn’t take our food either."
Hu Weimin shook his head, "Not yet. But who knows about the future? He killed Liu Erlong and took their supplies. He has plenty of food for now, but what if he runs out?"
Liu Xiuxian said, "Isn’t there fish downstairs that we can eat? We’ve eaten it before. He surely wouldn’t go that far."
"Besides, he said we could trade fish for food. Do you think it’s true?"
Hu Weimin smiled, "We can just try and find out."
"I’ll go downstairs with Old Liu and try to catch some fish. We’ll see if he’ll really trade food for fish."
"If he keeps his word, we can move upstairs and be closer to them."
Liu Xiuxian nodded, "Yes, let’s try." novelbuddy.cσ๓
At the same time, the other two families in the first unit were thinking the same thing as Hu Weimin.
Liang Yuan had no idea what these people were thinking.
He was busy sealing off all the corridors in the first unit, leaving only the corridor on the 32nd floor as the entrance and exit.
"This entry point will be the only way to the second unit. Keep it closed most of the time to prevent mutated creatures from coming over," Liang Yuan instructed, and everyone nodded.
"For now, the first unit is safe. This is our base of operations. Next, we need to gather all usable materials from the first unit and move them upstairs."
"It’s been raining non-stop, and the water level is likely to rise. If the lower floors get flooded, the supplies will be unusable."
Cai Zhi nodded, "Got it. Zhao Kai and I will gather everything from the 11th floor today."
Ding Yan said, "I’ll go with you."
Liang Yuan shook his head, "No, Ding Yan, you’re coming with me to the second unit."
"Huh? The second unit?"
"Yes, we need to check if anyone has pets. We need to deal with them quickly."
"If they mutate, they will be very dangerous."
"You saw what happened with Wang Yanmei. She mutated in just one day and became so strong. I suspect that after awakening mutant abilities, the Mutation Progress speeds up significantly."
Ding Yan shuddered and nodded, "Okay, I’ll go with you."
"Good, let’s return home first and inform everyone of our plans and tasks."
Ding Yan suddenly asked, "By the way, are you really trading food for fish?"
Cai Zhi also looked curious, "Liang Yuan, if you want fish, we can catch them ourselves. Why trade food?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "It’s too slow if we do it ourselves. I don’t want to waste time."
With that, Cai Zhi stopped asking questions.
Ding Yan, having learned from the gun incident before, kept quiet as well.
They each headed home.
As soon as Liang Yuan entered the door, Yang Mei rushed to welcome him.
"Brother, come in and let me check if you’re hurt."
She hurriedly helped Liang Yuan take off his helmet and leather jacket, her face full of worry.
Liang Yuan laughed, "How are you going to check? Come, let’s go to the bedroom."
With that, he scooped up the beautiful woman in his arms.
Yang Mei blushed, pleading, "Brother, please, spare your sister..."
But it was destined to be impossible.
Five minutes later, a scream came from the bedroom.
"Brother... stop, no, wait... ah!"
Liang Yuan took a step back, looking at the beautiful neighbor lying there, trembling slightly, with a helpless expression.
"Sister Mei, why... why so fast this time?"
Yang Mei’s face was red with embarrassment, almost wanting to crawl under the bed.
She didn’t know why she had been so quick.
Was it because Liang Yuan was too good?
How could he know so many ways to torment someone?
Liang Yuan asked helplessly, "Can you keep going?"
Yang Mei quickly shook her head, she was still catching her breath.
More? That would be suicidal.
Who said there wasn’t such a thing as being overworked?
She almost got overworked!
As she thought about it, she finally came back to herself after a while, looking weakly at Liang Yuan.
Seeing him still full of energy, she was terrified. Eventually, she bit her lip, "Why... why don’t we do it like last time?"
Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up when he saw her biting her lip.
"Sister Mei, you said it..."
