Chapter 747: Thinking too beautifully
rought in some hot water and entered the room. He let Ripples wash up while he reported on today's harvest.“Although the town next door is far away, it’s bigger than ours and has more things. As the e..."Ripples, Mingzi, are you alright!"
Zhao's eyes were sharp, and he saw the inflatable boat and the people coming over.
"It's okay, just tie the dinghy up first!"
Yuan Chongming handed the rope to Zhao Jia who was already on the speedboat. The other party immediately secured the rope and then pulled Lian Yi onto the speedboat.
Only when both of them got onto the speedboat did everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Lián Yī looked at Huí Gē, who was on the verge of death, and asked Lǐ Qiān:
"Li Ge, has he given you any instructions"
He said a few things, but afterward he seemed to be having trouble breathing.
Li Gan glanced at Lian Yi's fist and said.
"Sorry! I lost control, I should have broken his ribs and then pierced his lung with them."
Ripples knew when to draw the line. This kind of person shouldn't be alive, otherwise they would harm more people.
They took over an office building, gathering everyone who couldn't go home because of overtime. They controlled these people's access to supplies and food, treating them like a reserve of rations. This time they came out because their supplies were running low; they wanted to find resources and also kidnap some more people to take back.
Li Qian frowned and said.
As for what they'll do with the people once they're back, no need to spell it out; everyone knows.
How many people are there
Yuan Chongming asked directly.
"There are probably about forty or fifty people in total, these are just a few of them."
What next
The ripples asked directly.
"We found the gas can, and they had some food on their speedboat. Let's go back first and find a time to check out that office building."
Li Qian said.
At the same time, he winked at Zhao Jia. The other party nodded solemnly.
At last, Hui Ge was thrown into the water. Then they sped back on a speedboat. This time, with a speedboat, they were much faster, and it only took them one hour to return.
"We brought back so much, the residential area people will definitely take action. Everyone be on alert."
Li Qian reminded.
Ripple donned a backpack, pretending to draw a crossbow from it and taking defensive precautions.
They went around for a while, changing their guns, immediately drawing everyone's attention. People secretly watched them move the food and gas cylinders, all of them eager to make a move.
Ripples was the first to be stopped. A kindly old woman with a fair complexion and gentle smile said:
“Miss, could you please give me a can of gas I have children at home and they can’t eat cold, hard things.”
What do you have to trade
Lian Yi looked at the other person and asked softly.
"Oh my! You're such a cheapskate, you have so much, just give me one more won't you"
"You have a lot of food at home, and you still need to use gas canisters. Then give me some food too!"
Ripples retorted.
If the other party starts politely, saying they want to exchange, she might just agree. After all, she has enough space in her place for herself. But the other person, taking advantage of their age, starts demanding right away, which she doesn't tolerate.
"How can this be the same! This is life-saving food!"
The old woman immediately refused.
"That's your problem, not mine! Get out of my way!"
Ripple said coldly.
"Hey! How dare you speak to my mother like that! Don't you know how to respect elders"
Immediately, a young man jumped out, looking determined not to give up.
You also said it's your mother, what does that have to do with me!
The little black cat in the bag hurried back, eager to clean up its things and not tangle with these people. It directly grabbed the young man's collar and threw him out the broken window.
"Oh, my child!"
The old woman cried out shrilly.
Ripples rubbed his ears and threw the old woman out, landing right on the man who was swimming back. It sent him splashing back into the water again.
After this operation, the surroundings became unusually quiet. No one dared to stop her anymore. Yuan Chongming and his three companions looked intimidating. They couldn't even handle the weakest of the four, let alone the remaining three. They all shrank back, making way for the stairs and letting the four pass through.
Four people were busy for two hours before moving the harvest home, during which Sun Weifeng also came down to help.
In the end, only the speedboat remained there. At that time, a resident living on the eleventh floor came to Yuan Chongming and expressed his willingness to exchange sausages for the right to use the speedboat once. They also wanted to go out to find food.
How many sausages
"Twenty."
"Okay, one day. Come back tomorrow morning to pick up the keys."
After some consideration, Yuan Chongming agreed.
After the man had left with profuse thanks, Zhao Jia finally asked:
This person seems to have a lot of hidden depths. Is it safe to lend him money
"If I don't lend it to him, others will have other ideas. It's better to lend it out and ease the tension. Besides, it's not like I'm giving it away for free."
Li Qian agreed with Yuan Chongming's actions. After all, if only you have it, everyone else doesn't. When everyone in the building runs out of food, they will naturally turn on those who have it. They only have four people, plus Lianyi, making five people, including a child. Two fists are no match for four hands.
Ripples had already returned home, changed into a dry set of clothes, and then boiled hot water to give the little black cat a bath. She didn't know how long the other party floated in the water, but its black fur was covered in dirt. After washing it clean, she patiently wiped the black cat's fur and then prepared cat food.
The little black cat, which she used to let her play with, saw the cat food and its eyes turned green. It buried its whole head in the bowl and started eating “mrrph mrrph”.
Ripples knew the other party was hungry for quite a while, and didn't dare to feed too much. After the cat food in the bowl was all eaten, she gently tapped the little black cat's nose and said with a smile:
"It's been a long time since you've eaten your fill. You can't eat too much at once, or your stomach will burst. I'll feed you slowly."
Meow!
The little black cat seemed to understand Ripple's words and rubbed its head against Ripple's finger, expressing its gratitude.
"I gave you a mighty and awe-inspiring name, Hei Xuanfeng! What do you think"
The ripples continued to ask.
She saw a hint of disdain in the black cat's eyes and then stroked its head, saying:
"Looks like you really like it, from now on I'll call you Black Whirlwind, Black is your last name, and Whirlwind is your first name, remember that! Otherwise, no cat food for you!"
Both soft and hard tactics are used.
Meow!
Well, I suppose I agree. After all, they are my benefactors.
"Whirlwind!"
"Meow!"
"Hurricane!"
"Meow!"
Ripples called out to the other party, and even Feng responded. She was also very happy and played with the little black cat for a while. The person and the cat hugged each other and fell asleep. She was quite tired this day and slept soundly until dawn.
The man on the eleventh floor had already left the complex in his speedboat. After someone started it, they learned that the other party used food in exchange for usage rights. Some people were tempted, but their own rations weren't much either, and they didn't know if borrowing the speedboat would be able to find food, so some were watching from the sidelines.
Some people use other things to barter for the right to use it, such as toilet paper, shampoo, small appliances, cotton clothes, quilts, and so on. There's a wide variety of everything, all gathered on the fifteenth floor. I wanted to give it a try.
When night fell, the speedboat finally returned, but it wasn't alone. Behind the leading speedboat were three more, approaching menacingly. fixed to the ground, flew directly out, smashing a screen on one wall.After the screen shattered, a group of researchers behind it came into view. Every expression and subtle movement was captured by...
