Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

This rainstorm has no end in sight. It has destroyed not only the city’s infrastructure and crops, but also countless families and the only remaining light of humanity in some people’s hearts.

Liu Cheng and Liu Shu have been trapped in the Zijing community for almost a month. During the previous typhoon, they waited in Building A1 until almost seven in the evening. Finally, the group of people could no longer sit still and decided to run to the subway station despite the typhoon.

As a result, the wind was so strong that he could only run a hundred meters. He fell to his knees and slipped on the ground several times, especially Liu Shu, who was a little thin. He was almost hit by a fruit peel box in the community. If his younger brother had not pulled him up, he would have lost his life today.

Five people ran from Building A to Building E, which was only about a hundred meters away. By the time they reached Building E, they could no longer hold on. They hid in the lobby on the first floor, panting. They were soaked all over. Although the weather was still a bit hot and humid, they still couldn't help shivering after being soaked.

A group of grown men didn't care about anything and simply took off their clothes, wrung out the water and hung them on the ground with their upper bodies bare. They squatted in the corner, feeling a little unlucky, staring with lingering fear at the heavy rain outside and the royal coconut trees that had been bent 90 degrees by the typhoon.

A few people immediately decided that if they really couldn't leave, they would wait until the typhoon was over. However, they never expected that they would have to wait almost an extra month.

I walked up the stairs from the first floor to the safety door on the first floor, and then to the innermost part of the sky garden on the second floor, watching the flood submerge the building bit by bit.

During this time, they bought a lot of things from the temporary vegetable market on the second floor, all of which were fruits that could be eaten immediately. They also bought a lot of instant noodles and self-heating foods before the things in the convenience store in this building were sold out. They basically spent almost all the money on everyone's WeChat balance and bank card. They even quarreled with the convenience store owner because of the instant noodles that were sold for 30 yuan a bucket. But the other owner was more powerful. It was up to you to buy it or not, so don't bother.

If I didn't buy it, I would be hungry, so I finally gritted my teeth and spent more than two thousand yuan to buy a box of instant noodles and a box of water. When I wanted to buy more the next day, the boss said it had become 40 yuan a bucket.

Looking at the boss who became domineering because of his desire to make money, even if Liu Cheng wanted to teach him a lesson, he thought that there was a property office next door and many security guards were there. They had been staring at him covetously because of a few strangers. If he was not worried that they would die in the flood if he drove them out, he would never let them stay in the sky garden temporarily.

In the following period of time, there was no government rescue. Instead, due to the rising water level, several people had to move from the second floor of Building E to the higher fourth floor staircase.

The younger brother who was kicked in the crotch by Gu Tongwan before slept in the dark stairs. These days, everyone couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. They always felt that the night was too dark and their scalps were numb. They could only sleep reluctantly during the day. Now they felt cold and painful underneath, but listening to the harsh wind outside, they hung their heads with some regret. If they had known earlier, they would not have come here with Brother Dacheng. If it weren't for Brother Dacheng's promise to vent his sister-in-law's anger and give each of them a red envelope of 1,000 yuan, they would not have done it. Now they are trapped in this hellhole. This kind of anxiety and despair slowly spread among the men, and even Liu Cheng stopped talking.

Liu Cheng reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes he had bought from the canteen. He spent 25 yuan on a pack of Furong Wang cigarettes that originally cost 50 yuan. He lit it up and took a puff. He then said to his eldest brother beside him, "Brother, did my sister-in-law say when she could find a way to get a boat to pick us up?"

Liu Shu sighed and said, "How can that be possible? My community is almost flooded to the fourth floor. Your sister-in-law and Xiao Cheng are on the eighth floor and are also scared. They said they are waiting for arrangements from the community property management and government rescue."

Liu Cheng frowned immediately: "Rescue? I haven't seen anyone sent over these days. I don't think it's going to be easy. Besides, have you seen the TV? The ones who get priority rescue are the elderly and children. We still have to wait for the rain to subside and think of a way to leave."

Willow agreed with her brother and nodded quickly, "Wait until the rain is lighter..." But will the rain really be lighter? No one was sure.

Liu Cheng blew out a puff of smoke, glanced at his elder brother, and asked, "Did my sister-in-law send the money?"

They had spent all their money these days, and everyone else's cell phones were out of battery. Only Liu Cheng had grabbed a power bank earlier, and he and Liu Shu used the power sparingly. Apart from keeping in touch with Jiang Min, they also used it to occasionally check the latest weather conditions.

Liu Shu smiled bitterly, feeling a bit embarrassed: "He said he just transferred 3,000 yesterday, so he won't give it to me today."

Liu Cheng's fingers holding the cigarette paused. He knew that his sister-in-law was shrewd and stingy, but he didn't expect that she would be like this to her own husband.

"Brother, let's have two buckets of instant noodles." Before, they could go to the property management to get some hot water, but since the second floor was flooded, they have been eating instant noodles with cold water. They had just agreed on a private deal with the owner of the convenience store, with a bucket of noodles for fifty yuan, and planned to buy forty buckets first, so that they could get through it.

Willow turned her eyes away in embarrassment, not daring to look at her brother's scrutinizing and reproachful gaze.

Liu Cheng sneered and said "Fuck it". The next moment he suddenly stood up, lowered his head and took the last puff of his cigarette.

He hated the chick on the 1th floor of Building A16 who had made him lose face. Sooner or later, he would make her kneel in front of him and cry for mercy. Thinking of this, he pinched his fingers slightly and thought of Gu Tongwan's fair face. Damn, that chick was really beautiful...

Swallowing hard, Liu Cheng forced himself to suppress the restless desire in his heart.

No rush, no rush. She will be hers sooner or later, and so will the supplies in her house. And the brother and sister across the street won't have an easy time either.

The two younger brothers next to them exchanged glances when they saw this. In fact, they had already known Liu Cheng's idea. When they went to the toilet together before, the three of them had already thought of the worst-case scenario for the future.

"We can't wait any longer. We have to take action first." Liu Cheng stood up and said coldly.

Willow stood up nervously and looked at him in surprise. "Dacheng, what do you mean?"

Liu Cheng put the shirt on his shoulders and glanced up at the stairs leading up. "I asked Qiangzi to observe the situation here these days. There is a woman in her forties living alone on the fourteenth floor. There is no good anti-theft door installed outside, so it should be easy to get the thief."

A few years ago, Liu Cheng was sentenced to seven years in prison for assault and burglary. He was released two years ago. Several of his younger brothers all had some problems and were birds of a feather.

Willow shook her head violently and tugged at her brother's hand: "Dacheng, you can't do this, it's against the law!"

Liu Cheng pulled his hand back and said coldly, "Rather than suffering like this without food or water, I'd rather take a risk. And are you sure the rain will stop? I'm telling you, this is a natural disaster, it's the end of the world. If you want to starve to death, just stay here. I can't stand it anymore!"

In the darkness, Liucheng's face was somewhat distorted, and there was an unconcealable ferocity in his eyes.

Even the younger brother who was "kicked in the crotch" stood trembling behind Liu Cheng, his attitude very obvious.

Looking at his brother walking up, Willow listened to the sound of wind and rain coming from afar. His stomach suddenly growled. He hadn't eaten anything all day, so he drank some rain water.

The next moment, Willow also began to climb up the stairs.

That night, in the midst of the storm, no one noticed that there were shrill cries coming from E-1401. And on that day, this place officially became the occupation point of this group of demons.

The next day, new news came out from the property management group. It was said to be good news that the Bauhinia community would receive the first batch of relief supplies.
