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

Temporary office for owners on the 18th floor

Liu Feng sat on the sofa in front, holding the last cigarette he had just shaken out of the cigarette box. He had been under a lot of pressure during this period, and he had smoked the remaining packs of cigarettes. He knew that cigarettes were not available now, but he still couldn't control himself, otherwise he would not be able to endure it.

Before this, after the water supply was cut off, they had difficulty in using water, and there were also constant complaints from property owners during this period.

Unexpectedly, the situation was far more complicated than just water outage. Heavy rain, water outage and power rationing were just the beginning of this natural disaster.

Liu Feng couldn't help but take out the wallet from his pocket, which contained a family photo taken at a photo studio in March this year. It included his beautiful wife, lovely daughter, and himself hugging them from behind. At that time, the whole family was smiling like flowers.

However, with the Internet outage and flooding, he couldn't imagine whether his wife and daughter, who had returned to their mother-in-law's home in the neighboring province before the end of the world, were doing well now.

He put the photo away and looked at the four colleagues in front who were counting supplies.

When the temporary vegetable market was opened last month, there were still a lot of supplies left, which were packed up and put away in advance. We relied on these things to survive the power and water outages in the past few days, but supplies will run out one day. If the government does not send rescue personnel, I am afraid that everyone will run out of food sooner or later.

"Brother Liu, there are still two boxes of water and three boxes of instant noodles left. Pick out the edible vegetables, and the ones that are smelly will have to be thrown away." A young man in his twenties came forward and said.

"Have Yutong and Liu Tao already divided their ties?"

"I came to get it yesterday morning." the young man replied.

There are two other staff members on the property side, one lives in Building B next door, and the other lives opposite the temporary office. The supplies had been distributed evenly before, and what's left is the food rations for the five of them for some time to come.

Liu Feng walked to the pile of rotten vegetables. The leaves of the cabbage had turned yellow, and the roots of a small amount of lettuce that had not been eaten had already rotted. There was a basin next to it filled with dozens of rotten eggs.

Liu Feng pointed at these things and said, "Wash the cabbage a little more. As long as it's not rotten and has a strange smell, you can still eat it. As for the eggs, add more soy sauce and flour and fry them into pancakes."

The young man looked at Liu Feng with some embarrassment. These dishes were stinky and were not edible.

Liu Feng did not miss the dissatisfaction in the young man's eyes, so he took a last puff of his cigarette and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Li, why do you think the higher-ups haven't sent anyone to help until now? Why did the flood discharge happen so suddenly? Do you think everything is accidental?"

The young man called Xiao Li had just graduated from college less than a year ago. He was recommended by a relative to work in the property management company. His mentality and sensitivity to things were far less mature and experienced than his boss Liu Feng, who had worked for more than ten years. He asked reluctantly, "Brother Liu, wasn't it because of the heavy rain some time ago that there was no rescue?"

"Naive, do you know what a flood discharge means to a city? Have you ever seen a government watching an entire city being submerged after a flood discharge in history?" Liu Feng sneered and shook his head, then squatted down and picked up the rotten vegetable leaves on the ground.

Several colleagues who were listening on the side felt an unprecedented panic in their hearts.

Xiao Li's face turned pale instantly after realizing something, and his lips trembled slightly, "No, no way?"

Liu Feng didn't want to say more, and just squinted his eyes and said: "During this period of time, we have to do the work of calming the owners, but at the same time we must also be careful about our own safety. I have a feeling that our community will not be peaceful for some time to come."

After saying this, a woman in her early thirties suddenly said, "Brother Liu, Zhang Ran and Xiao Mo went to inform the people in Building F and Building E. They left yesterday morning, but they haven't come back yet."

The woman was holding a wireless walkie-talkie, which was provided by the property management company to the security guards at the time. They also had four walkie-talkies for their office staff. The communication distance was within one thousand meters, which was enough to cover the entire Zijing community.

In addition to those who rushed home during the previous rainstorm, there are currently eight property staff members in the community, excluding security guards. In the past few days, they have basically worked in groups of two. Two people use a speedboat to go to each building, but the speedboat has no gasoline, so the propeller cannot be used and they can only rely on oars to row. Each group is responsible for four buildings, of which Liu Feng and Xiao Li are responsible for A1A2, B1B2, the -year-old woman and another colleague are responsible for C and D, and Zhang Ran and Xiao Mo, who are currently out of contact with them, are responsible for buildings E and F near the community gate.

Zhang Ran is a pretty and gentle girl. Like Xiao Li, she just graduated from school not long ago. She usually speaks softly and never quarrels with the owners. Xiao Mo is a thin boy wearing glasses. He used to work in a telecommunications company and just joined their company in May this year. He is usually taciturn and does not like socializing, but is very good at report analysis. He was responsible for the owner information compiled by Liu Feng before.

Just when Liu Feng was frowning, a middle-aged woman in her fifties next to the woman said unhappily, "What are you worried about? Zhang Ran's aunt lives in Building E. Who knows, she might just live there and refuse to come back because she sees that her aunt's house is well-off."

"But you can't just abandon your job. The speedboat is still with her..." the woman said with a frown.

The middle-aged woman tossed the melon seeds in her hand and raised her eyebrows and said, "It was Zhang Ran who said that he would be in charge of Building E and Building F. Who knows if he had made plans long ago and wanted a speedboat for free."

"Zhang Ran is not that kind of person. Can you please stop gossiping about him?" The woman was fed up with this middle-aged woman. It was not that she did not respect her senior colleagues, but over the years in the company, she had witnessed with her own eyes that this person was cheating in all kinds of ways at work, and was used to suppressing juniors. She always liked to use her age as an excuse to educate others.

"I'm gossiping? I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, go to Building E and see for yourself." The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes, paused, and continued, "And Mr. Liu, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be so soft-hearted. This morning, you distributed our water to those people in the aisle. Let me tell you, in this environment, everyone is in danger. We don't even have enough water to drink. Do you really think they will thank you if you give it to others? I say, we should implement our plan quickly and let them help each other as soon as possible so that we can get out of this situation and have some peace and quiet."

Although the middle-aged woman's words were unpleasant to hear, no one refuted her. It was obvious that everyone thought so in their hearts.

Xiao Li simply said, "How about this, I'll go to Building E again in two days. If Zhang Ran doesn't want to come back, just take the speedboat back."

Liu Feng felt bitter in his mouth. He could only nod for a long while and said, "Xiao Li, go next door and tell Liang Min to borrow a few more chairs. We will hold the owners' meeting on time at 8 o'clock tonight."
