Chapter 35: Chapter 35 The Growing Darkness
After clarifying her household supplies, Huang Qiushi began preparing to contact Lan Ling, who lived across the hall.
At this time, Ye Yuan in Unit 402 had already recovered his health.
He incredulously touched his forehead; he truly hadn't expected the special medicine Liang Yu mentioned to be so miraculous.
His reverence for Liang Yu in his heart deepened by a few more points.
At this moment, he didn't forget the promise he had made, so he took out his phone from under the covers and contacted Liang Yu.
But Ye Yuan didn't know that Liang Yu was also asleep at this time.
After releasing control of the drone, Liang Yu glanced at the surveillance footage in front of his door and suddenly felt a bit sleepy.
So he took out a blanket and slept on the rocking chair.
He completely ignored those who had set the fire.
Because they posed no danger to him.
It was at this moment that Ye Yuan's call came in.
Liang Yu, immersed in his dreams, didn't pay it any mind.
In a daze, he touched the location of his wristband and directly hung up.
Ye Yuan heard the phone hang up and didn't call back.
He figured Liang Yu must be busy with something else at the moment.
At this point, he was already considering what Liang Yu would ask him to do after saving him.
And whether the poison Liang Yu mentioned and the responsibility for the simplest three meals a day were real.
Just then, a message suddenly came in from the quiet large group chat.
302 Wang Enlong: "I just saw someone from Building 10 sneak in, acting suspiciously. I'm not sure what he wants to do."
601 Chen Weilun: "Indeed, I also saw that person on the sixth floor. He looks like he's scouting to me."
602 Fang Meijun: "Xiao Chen, please make yourself clear. 'Looks like he's scouting'—what do they want to do? I'll go ask my old sisters in Building 10."
Chen Weilun's words at this moment were undoubtedly like a knife about to plunge into their bodies, causing the owners of Building 9 to feel worried.
However, the group chat was not lacking in people who had fortunately survived the cold wave.
1801 Xie Jiarong: "What do you mean 'looks like he's scouting'? I think you're just a dirty-minded person who sees everything as dirty."
1801 Xie Jiarong: "I suggest a strict investigation of this person after the cold wave. If he didn't do it, why would he know?"
But not long after Xie Jiarong sent her messages, she regretted it.
What she regretted was not scolding Chen Weilun, but the complete silence in the group chat after she sent her messages.
She felt like a clown at this moment, and instantly vented all her anger on Chen Weilun.
"Damn it, you just wait. I'll make sure you go to jail later."
At this moment, Hu Zhiyun, who was beside her, told her to calm down.
"Rongrong, save your strength. Tomorrow we still have to go downstairs to collect supplies. There isn't much food left at home."
"Only a few bags of small biscuits are left."
Xie Jiarong immediately grew anxious upon hearing this.
She quickly pulled Hu Zhiyun and Wu Pei.
"My two good sisters, you have to think of a way. If it doesn't work, let those simps in the building next to yours send us some more food with their drones."
The reason these three had survived until now was entirely due to the simps in the nearby buildings who supplied them.
When there was no water, they would go to the balcony to dig up snow and melt it.
And during this time, the three of them had already asked for food several times, and the other parties had basically been drained by them.
It was also at this time that Hu Zhiyun and Wu Pei came up with a plan, which led to today's matter in the group chat.
The two of them looked at Xie Jiarong with disdain in their eyes.
This useless, endlessly demanding green tea, the two had already decided it was time for her to make a sacrifice.
But they still had to maintain appearances.
Hu Zhiyun comforted her with a smile on her face.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for the food. You'll be full very soon, the kind where you can eat until you throw up."
Xie Jiarong was exceptionally happy to hear this, and tears unexpectedly flowed down her face.
"Yunyun, is what you said true?"
"Boo hoo hoo, for so many days, I truly haven't been full even once."
"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. To celebrate, I'll open a bag of small biscuits, and we can eat together."
After speaking, she ran off to get the small biscuits.
She completely missed the disgust on the faces of the other two.
And Xie Jiarong didn't know that her words made the two, who were originally feeling a little guilty, completely harden their hearts.
Especially that one sentence.
"For so many days, Xie Jiarong truly hasn't been full even once."
These days when they divided food, the total amount was originally 1, and if equally divided, everyone would get 1/3.
But what did Xie Jiarong do? She quickly finished her own, then scrounged a bit here, scrounged a bit there.
The perfectly equal division somehow turned into an unequal division.
However, this unequal division was between Hu Zhiyun and Wu Pei.
From originally 1/3 for each person, Hu Zhiyun and Wu Pei later only got 1/4, while Xie Jiarong got 1/2.
Under such circumstances, Xie Jiarong still had the nerve to say such things.
How could the two of them not be angry?
Watching the other person come over with only half a bag of small biscuits left.
Hu Zhiyun said directly,
"I'm not hungry, you eat it yourself."
When Xie Jiarong turned to look at Wu Pei, Wu Pei also said the same thing.
"You go eat it in the bedroom. Yunyun and I still have things to discuss."
Watching Xie Jiarong happily go to the bedroom, Wu Pei's tone of voice also grew colder.
"Yunyun, how is it? What did the other side say?"
Hu Zhiyun took out her phone at this moment and opened the chat log for Wu Pei to see.
"See for yourself, they agreed, but they want to receive the goods first before they'll give us food."
"Originally, they were going to have someone come over to pick it up today, but it seems there was a slight accident, and the person went back."
Wu Pei pondered for a moment.
"Alright, Yunyun, you tell them that the goods will be sent down tomorrow, and they can just take them when they pick up the food."
Hu Zhiyun: "You mean we don't want the supplies given by the property management either?"
Wu Pei said very affirmatively,
"Don't want them. Anyway, there probably isn't much. Consider it given together. Her not being here is better than anything."
"The only thing I'm most worried about now is what if they don't give us food after receiving the goods."
Facing Wu Pei's question, this was also what Hu Zhiyun was most worried about.
But Hu Zhiyun then thought that it was also a good thing.
"Peipei, this is also a good thing. Whether they give it or not, at least she's sent away, right?"
"After that, relying on just the two of us, can we still not get food from those simps?"
Wu Pei also felt that this made a lot of sense at this moment.
While they were discussing, in front of the door of Unit 1601 on the 16th floor.
Wu Daye brought Wu Jue into the house.
As soon as he entered, Wu Jue smelled an indescribable odor.
He subconsciously looked around and suddenly discovered a human body lying on the balcony.
He suddenly realized that it might not be a human body, but a corpse.
