Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 52

Chapter 52

This day was still a clear sky, the sun was shining brightly early in the morning, and the water level had retreated to the fourth floor. After Qiao Qingqing woke up, Shao Shengan would open a corner of the curtain and let the sun shine on the bed, so that Qiao Qingqing could bask in the sun .

"Dad caught a lot of leeches, and I'll clean up

when you're well." Shao Shengan said with a smile during dinner. Qiao Qingqing gave him a white look: "Mom is making preserved egg and lean meat porridge today!"

Shao Shengan smiled and glanced at the black preserved egg in her bowl: "It looks different, this is a preserved egg, well, it's a bit dark, My fault, my fault, hurry

up and eat." Qiao Qingqing snorted and continued to eat porridge.

Seeing that she was in the mood to joke, Shao Shengan was very happy, thinking that this was a sign that her condition had improved.

She did feel much better. She no longer felt cold in the past two days, and her sense of taste began to recover.

"Mom! Someone is coming!" Shao Shengfei suddenly shouted outside.

"I'll take a look, you continue to eat breakfast."

Shao Shengan quickly went out and walked to Shao Shengfei's side to look around.

"Brother, you look at a lot of people, they are all bald, brother, can I also have a bald head?"

Taking a look, Shao Shengan's heart sank and his eyebrows were wrinkled.

The bald, six bald men, exactly what Qingqing said, these people are the ones who robbed the house and drove away Qingqing! He immediately asked Shao Shengfei to go upstairs to call someone: "Call Dad down."

"Oh!" Shao Shengfei went upstairs.

Mother Shao was washing the pots in the kitchen, when she heard the movement and shouted loudly: "Don't run too fast! Feifei hold on to it!"

Qiao Songzhi was washing clothes in the bathroom and said with a smile, "Feifei should be more lively, she was scared like that a while ago. , I feel distressed when I see it."

Mother Shao smiled: "Yeah, I was worried to death at that time, but Qingqing had the ability to prescribe medicine for Feifei, and after taking the medicine, he didn't wake up from nightmares at night, alas, being a mother is a lifetime When I close my eyes, I have to worry about the children."

"Isn't it..." The

two of them didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and they talked and laughed as usual about the work at hand. Father Shao was rolling leeches on the terrace. He looked at the big buckets of fruit in the corner and felt a sense of accomplishment. When Shao Shengfei came upstairs, he was squinting and wiping sweat with his hands on his hips.

"Dad! My brother called you down!" Shao Shengfei shouted loudly.

"Oh, your brother is calling me? Here it is, you go downstairs first, it's so hot here."

Downstairs, Shao Shengan had already pulled out weapons from the utility room, two watermelon knives, one Steel Pipe.

"What are you doing, I'll help—" Qiao Songzhi came out carrying the washed clothes, thinking of drying on the balcony, and was stunned when she saw the watermelon knife.

"Mom, there might be some trouble at home. You can bring my mother into the house to accompany Qingqing."

Hearing the cruelty in Shao Shengan's tone, Qiao Songzhi was not used to seeing her son-in-law for the first time, but this is not the point. The point is what's the trouble at home?

Just as Father Shao and Shao Shengfei came downstairs, Shao Shengan arranged the weapons.

"Dad, this is for you. Brother, take this steel pipe."

Shao's father caught it in a daze, and Shao Shengfei clenched it happily and asked, "Brother, what are we going to do?

" Bad guy."

"Oh yeah! I'm going to hit the bad guy! I want to hit the bad guy!"

Father Shao was at a loss: "Sheng An, what are you doing, the watermelon knife—"

"Dad, someone came to rob the bank and went upstairs. It's coming to our house soon, you have to get ready!"

Bang! Boom!

The iron door at the door was slammed, and the harsh sound passed through the triple security door and vaguely entered the room.

Shao Shengan turned to face the door, and pursed his lips: "They're here. Mom, come in with my mom." He was still thinking about this.

"I see!" Qiao Songzhi reacted, put down the bucket and ran to the kitchen, whispering to Mother Shao, after comforting her, the two entered the second bedroom together, but how could the two feel at ease outside, so they opened the crack of the door and listened to the sound outside. movement.

In the aisle on the eighth floor, Zhou Peng slammed the door angrily again, feeling annoyed.

"Brother Peng, what should I do? This iron gate is so hard that we can't cut it with the tools we brought."

Zhou Peng was a little annoyed, and his cousin Du Jie told him about this feng shui treasure, which just gave him an excuse to vent his anger. . This goddamn world doesn't let people live, what is he doing? My old house collapsed, and the shelter built above it was almost destroyed. The shelter without supplies was useless at all. Those people were still there to snatch and snatch it up! This kind of dwelling is very good, there are people living there all the time, and there are not as many people living in the shelters, and the environment is definitely not bad.

After listening to Du Jie's words, he immediately decided to grab the place. Knowing that there is an iron door here, he also asked his friend to go back to the flooded home to search through boxes and cabinets to find this large rusty iron pliers. He thought it would be easy to cut the iron door open, but it couldn't cut it at all. .

"Brother, this door is too damn strong. It must be very expensive. It's not good to break it. We will live here in the future. Having an iron door will make us feel more secure."

Zhou Peng cursed and looked around in dissatisfaction. After taking a look, he gave an order: "You two stay here, the others climb the window with me, take out the rope, and we climb from the aisle window to their balcony, and enter from the balcony."

"Good idea, Brother Peng! I saw it, their balcony has glass, it's simple, I brought a hammer!"

"Go! Let's do it!"

701, 702 and 802 had heard the movement and felt incredible.

"When the sky is bright, is the thief so rampant?" Grandma Wang couldn't believe it.

"Auntie, it's all messed up outside now. The army doesn't know where it's going. The bad guys dare to do anything now!" "

Then what should we do? They seem to be going to Qingqing's house.

Mother, we can't help you, look at our house, it's already miserable enough, and I don't have the strength to take care of other people's business."

702, Chen Binggang's daughter-in-law Zheng Xiuyi lightly locked the window, and then opened it again. Good curtains, go back to the room and hold the child with the mother-in-law. The child was frightened by this atmosphere and couldn't help crying.

"Don't cry!" Zheng Xiuyi covered the child's mouth tightly, and said in an angry voice, "Don't cry! If you cry again, the bad guys will take you away and throw you into the water!"

802, Zheng Tiehui lifted the sunshade curtain to a corner, Carefully looking from that corner to the balcony of 801 next to me, my heart was beating very fast.

Those people climbed out of the aisle windows, and they were about to climb to the balcony of 801! He stared at them, holding the curtain tightly with his hands. It is true that he didn't like 801 next door, but with such a group of bald-headed men who looked extremely vicious, will there be peaceful days in this building and this community in the future? But let him go out to help, he can't have the courage, he is only one person, but there are six of those bald men! 801 didn't open the door at all. These people had to forcefully enter when they walked on the balcony. He was stupid to open the door and go out to attract firepower.

"Strange, why don't you grab someone else's and grab the next door? Could it be an enemy?" Mrs. Zheng was also worried, "They won't turn around and deal with the three of us, right?"

"Probably not. Their goal is very clear. They go directly to the fourth building when they enter the community, and then go to 801 directly after entering the building." Zheng Tiehui still looked at the next door and pursed his lips, "Even if they can't enter the next door to change their goals, that The target won't be our house either! You stare, I'll go get something."

Zheng Tiehui entered the room and found a box from a hidden place. The moment he opened the box, his breathing tightened. He carefully stuffed the black sex into his pocket, feeling more confident, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room to continue to the balcony to watch the situation.

801. After not hearing the sound of the iron gate, Shao Sheng'an became more vigilant. He didn't think those people would retreat. He must have had other bad intentions.

boom!

There was a sound from the balcony, and Shao Shengan's face changed slightly and hurried over.

When he opened the curtains, he saw an unfamiliar face climbing outside the balcony, hitting the glass with a hammer!

"Mummy! This looks like tempered glass, it's so hard to knock!" The

voice came in vaguely, and Shao Sheng'an was very angry. These people, these people dare! As long as he thinks that Qingqing used to hide at home in fear, someone smashed the door and smashed the balcony outside, and rushed in like a wild wolf, he hated it.

"Stupid! Use the pointed end of the hammer to strike, and aim at one place to strike!"

This is tempered one-way glass. The inside can see the outside, but the outside can't see the inside. Shao Shengan became more rational under his anger. The balcony is three meters long, they are over there, he is here, and neither the watermelon knife nor the steel pipe can attack them. However, if you use a stick to lengthen the watermelon knife, you may be caught by the weapon when attacking, but will be pulled down instead.

He put down the watermelon knife, went to the kitchen to get a pot of hot water, poured the hot water into the water ladle, and tied a rope around himself.

"Dad, big brother, hold me tight."

"Hey! Don't worry, Dad will hold you, you have to be careful!"

The balcony is rectangular. When the balcony was closed, Qiao Qingqing took the master's suggestion and sealed the side near the aisle window with cement bricks, leaving the escape window on the side away from the aisle window, and sealing the middle side with tempered glass. This is both practical and beautiful.

So after Zhou Peng and the others climbed to the balcony of 801, there was nothing they could do about the cement brick wall on that side.

Chao Shao Shengan took off his shoes and got out of the escape window, holding the door that opened outside the escape window tightly with one hand, while the other hand motioned to Shao Shengfei to give him the water ladle on the ground.

"Brother water, it's hot when you take it." Shao Shengfei carefully handed him the water ladle.

Taking the water ladle full of hot water, Shao Shengan probed out and looked to the right.

The man also saw him, and was obviously stunned.

Shao Shengan gritted his teeth and poured hot water mercilessly.

The hot water radiated heat in the air, and the glass next to it was covered with white fog.

"Ah!" The

hot water was steaming hot, making one's scalp numb.

He was caught off guard and was attacked, so the man avoided subconsciously, but he was crawling on the balcony and had nowhere to hide. He let go of his hand in the flash of light and the whole person fell down, the rope around his waist grabbed him, and the people in the window quickly With force, he pulled him when he hit the balcony on the seventh floor.

But even so, the scoop of hot water fell under the force of gravity and still hit him in the face.

"Ah!!"

"What happened? Quickly pull the army back!" Zhou Peng shouted loudly.

Several big men worked together and quickly pulled the man up. The man kept screaming while holding his face. Zhou Peng broke his hand and took a deep breath.

This face is red, this is a burn!

"Army?" His voice trembled.

Dajun shouted in pain: "It hurts! It hurts! Am I blind? I can't see! It hurts! My face is burned!" Hair, hair fell out with the scalp.

"How dare he! How dare! Ah!" Zhou Peng was so angry that he rushed to the iron gate and kicked hard several times.

"Brother Peng! What should I do with the army..." The

others had no masters. After a while, the skin on Dajun's face seemed to be uneven, and it seemed to be wrapped in puddles of water.

"I've read the news before, saying that scalds should be washed with cold water first, and then sent to the hospital—"

Everyone was silent. Where do they have enough clean cold water? The hospital is no longer the hospital it used to be, and it is useless to send it to the past.

The army was still crying. He was struggling with pain, like a fish beating on the asphalt road in summer. His companions quickly held him down.

"Brother Peng! What to do!"

Others still called him, counting on him to give him an idea.

"There's nothing here, send the army home first!" Zhou Peng finally made a decision.

He looked at the door of 801 with hatred: "Since they are so cruel, don't blame me for being merciless! Go! Go home first! Come and take revenge next time!"

"Sheng An, they are gone." Father Shao was relieved in one breath.

"They will come again, but they should be fine for the time being." Shao Shengan put the kettle back in the kitchen and went into the house to report to Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother that they were safe.

"It's fine, sigh!"

Qiao Qingqing woke up early after this movement, and took Shao Shengan's hand to check if he was injured. Seeing blisters on the back of his hand, he was very distressed, and asked Qiao Songzhi to find the medicine box and take it. Burn ointment on him.

"Go get some cold water yourself first."

Not wanting to worry about the family, Shao Shengan did it obediently. After that, Qiao Qingqing rubbed the medicine for him personally. During the process, she frowned when she heard Shao Shengan talk about what happened just now: "They will definitely come again."

But she thought about it. Think, as long as those people can't get in, there is no threat.

Before the change, she might have to worry about how those people would retaliate. Although their family was safe in hiding at home, they were also "turtles in a urn", and a fire would allow them to open the door honestly and come out on their own. But after only two years of cold winter, everything that can be burned has already been burned. She doesn't think those people can find enough fuel to retaliate.

Even if there is, she is not afraid, and the fire extinguisher in her space is not a decoration.

"Don't think about it, they can't do anything to us." Seeing her distracted, Shao Shengan comforted her, "We have three security doors in our house, what are you afraid of. If they dare to come from the balcony again, I will poke them down one by one. "

Seeing the cruelty in her husband's eyes, Qiao Qingqing's mood is very complicated. She is both gratified that her husband can adapt to the rules of survival in the last days, and she is sad that her husband has really taken this step. If there is no apocalypse, her Sheng An should be doing product presentations in the conference room in a straight suit, instead of crawling through the escape window barefoot, risking the danger to pour hot water to force back the foreign intruders, she looked at her husband's hand, the above The blisters are very dazzling, these hands should have been typing on the keyboard or holding a pen to write a plan...

"I'm distracted again." Shao Shengan felt helpless, touched her face and said softly, "Don't think about it anymore, your task now is to take care of your body. As long as you are well, I will feel at ease, be good, Qingqing."

Qiao Qingqing hugged him: "I know, I'll be well soon, let's protect this family together."

His eyes were soft: "Okay, then you continue to sleep, wake up and get up for lunch, I'll go out."

"You Where are we going?"

"If you don't go anywhere, just go downstairs and discuss with the seventh floor to see if we can install the iron gate at the entrance of the seventh floor corridor. Now the water level has been receding, and outsiders can go through the stairs. It's very unsafe to come upstairs."

Qiao Qingqing let go of his hand, took out a bag of flour from the space, took out another plastic bag after thinking about it, opened the flour bag, scooped the flour with a spoon and put it into the plastic bag, She stopped when she only had half the bag in.

"This half bag of flour is for Grandma Wang." It was just a final thank you to Grandma Wang for taking her in in her previous life and for the half of the potato cake she gave in the end. More, she can't give, it will bring disaster to the family.

"Okay." Shao Shengan hugged her again, "You have done enough, before the end of the world, you sent express delivery to their family, mung beans, potatoes and other seeds, as long as their family manages well, the supplies will not be available today. There is a shortage."

"I know, I just want to send a little more things, so that I feel more comfortable." The arrival of Du Jie's cousin and the others today awakened her bad memories.

Kissing her face, Shao Shengan said softly, "Okay, I will definitely send it to Grandma Wang. She is the oldest in this building now. She has watched you grow up since she was a child, so it's normal for us to send something. "

Well."

Shao Shengan went out quickly, went home after a while, grabbed the tools with his father and started to work. The matter of dismantling the door was familiar twice, and soon the two of them worked together to dismantle the iron door, carried it downstairs together, and pressed the iron door against the stairs on the seventh floor.

"This place has to be blocked, otherwise outsiders can take a ladder and go directly to the eighth floor stairs from under the iron gate." Father Shao said, pointing to the stairs from the seventh floor to the eighth floor.

"Then block it up, and I'll go home and get some wood—no, get some steel pipes and weld them directly."

"Your welding machine is very easy to use. It's been used for a few years, right?" Uncle Wang diligently asked. Complimented, "The quality is really good, the battery installed? It should be quite expensive, right?"

Shao Shengan smiled and didn't respond.

Forty minutes later, the gap was also welded, and Shao Shengan and his father packed up their tools and went home.

Uncle Wang went up to touch it a few times, shook it a few times, and saw that the iron gate and the iron fence were motionless, very satisfied, and dragged his feet into the house slowly. He already had arthritis, and those cold days made his legs even more sore, and it's inconvenient to walk today.

"It's so hot outside, and things are being welded. It's hot and noisy. What's so good about it." His wife complained that his legs and feet were inconvenient, adding to the chaos.

"I'm in good health!" His face was not good-looking, and his wife closed it. Both of them thought of the children who died young, alas! The two of them are immortal, oh, plus the auntie, the three immortals are very hard, the children are young but they are gone, the white-haired person has sent the black-haired person several times, it's uncomfortable, heartache!

"Hey, don't quarrel with the two of you." Grandma Wang took out the flour, "She just gave it to me secretly, alas, they are all good kids! Wait a minute and get some fried flour, soak it in some gooey for a few minutes. Eat it and see how thin you are.

" Uncle Wang was shocked: "Shao Shengan gave it? Oh, this flour tastes so good, it's not moldy!"

"How could people give away moldy things— —" Grandma Wang shook her head.

"It seems that 801 has a lot of inventory, and I don't know how they live. How can I see that his life is better than others!"

"I feel that his home has electricity, as if the air conditioner is turned on. "

Grandma Wang turned her head in surprise, Wang Jiaxin didn't think she said anything strange, came over and sat down: "Did you hear any noise at night? It's very quiet, it feels like the movement of the outside air conditioner."

Uncle Wang relaxed Some: "You guessed it, how could it be possible to turn on the air conditioner, it was so cold before, and all the electrical appliances were frozen! Even if there is, it can't be turned on."

Wang Jiaxin disagreed: "Then can I hear it wrong? 801 Have you installed a solar generator? Now that the sun is so big, it is enough to turn on ten air conditioners!" The

uncle smiled: "I just said that it was so cold two years ago that everything was frozen. 801 really has a solar generator, and it must have been frozen!"

Upstairs, 802 was also discussing.

Mrs. Zheng was still a little unhappy: "Before they demolished the door, and now they say they will install it on the seventh floor. Thanks to your good temper, you agreed."

Zheng Tiehui played with the iron door key left by Shao Shengan and sneered: "You are stupid, why should I object to things that are good for me? Why don't I take the steps that Shao Shengan took the initiative to hand over? It's just that I don't agree. He, if the downstairs agrees with him, he can still do it. What's the use of me not agreeing? When the iron gates are closed, we have to get the keys from them when we go in and out, and that's when we bow our heads!"

"Anyway . You're right, and I don't care. By the way, why didn't you just ask if the air conditioner is really turned on in their house? I really heard a humming noise next door, it must be the sound of the outside air conditioner!"

"I asked. So what? It belongs to someone else. I couldn't rub against their floor heating before, but now I can rub against their air conditioner?"

"How do you know if you don't

ask—" "Then Qiao Qingqing will chop the door with a kitchen knife, aren't you afraid?"

Mrs. Zheng stopped making noises, and threw the pillow like a vent.

After a while, he suddenly shouted: "I'm too hot! I'm going to die from the heat! What kind of life is this, is this a life that people can live? I have never been so stinky, and I am covered in sweat every day. The smell of sweat is all over my body, I can't take it anymore!" In the

next room, Zheng Liangdong still looked like he was about to die, turned over irritably and continued to sleep.
