Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 105: The 85th Chapter: Obstructed in Selling Buns

Seeing Zhao Kai’s grateful expression, Liang Yuan merely smiled and asked, ”How is Old Ma’s recovery?”

”The wound has scabbed over, and he can now get out of bed and walk around.”

Zhao Kai sighed with relief, ”Luckily there was medicine, no infection, and we’ve had enough food recently, otherwise it would’ve been bad.”

Liang Yuan nodded and said, ”It’s not just because of the medicine, he has eaten mutant fish, so he must have mutant genes in his body. Although he hasn’t awakened his mutant ability yet, the mutated energy might subtly improve everyone’s physical fitness and resistance.”

”Your arm might not need a hundred days to recover.”

Zhao Kai heard this and couldn’t help but smile, ”Hopefully. Brother Liang, do you think I’ll awaken my mutant ability and become crazy like Wang Yanmei?”

Liang Yuan froze for a moment, then looked at him solemnly, ”Don’t try it lightly. We don’t know the drawbacks of awakening mutant abilities yet. Even if you do want to awaken, make sure you have me or Ding Yan with you.”

”Uh-huh, thank you, Brother Liang.”

”Why say those things? By the way, tell Brother Cai that if he has time, he can go fishing for mutant fish, mutant crabs, sea shells, and other things, and exchange them for food with me.”

”Okay.”

After chatting for a while, Liang Yuan reminded him to pay attention to any corridors that might have been pried open in the building and to patch them immediately if found, preferably catching the culprit.

Additionally, he stipulated that only people coming through the corridor on the thirty-second floor could exchange food with him.

Anyone who dares to open other corridor security doors and comes up from different floors will not be allowed to exchange, and might even be expelled and blacklisted.

With such strategies, at least it ensures that Unit One forms an independent space, isolated from other floors to prevent mutant creatures or criminals from coming and causing security problems.

After seeing Song Wen, Liu Danian, and Hu Weimin off, Liang Yuan didn’t go back but went downstairs to start collecting materials for raft-making.

With the system’s item slot, he didn’t need to haul supplies individually; he simply placed them in the item slot.

This way, a lot of manual labor was saved.

Liang Yuan was busy collecting materials for raft-building while Cai Zhi, upon hearing the news, immediately went downstairs to help, taking on the job of floor surveillance and assisting with moving some materials.

Meanwhile, the three of Song Wen crossed the corridor on the thirty-second floor to Unit Two.

The hallway in Unit Two was filthy, with excrement, urine, bloodstains, and all sorts of mess.

Mold on the walls, garbage in the corners, cooking black soot, complete chaos.

The three cautiously explored, the hallway was quiet, with hardly any people.

It seemed everyone was hiding at home, and no one lived in the corridors.

Perhaps influenced by the terrifying rumors about Wang Yanmei, many were frightened and moved to Unit Three.

There weren’t many left in Unit Two, mostly those unwilling to leave their homes choosing not to live in the corridor.

Song Wen had cut her hair short, wore an electric scooter helmet, and donned a man’s jacket, with plastic plates for defense inside.

Having previously seen Liang Yuan fully equipped, she followed suit and made such protection.

Liang Yuan had started this trend in the building; almost everyone wore an electric scooter helmet now when going out.

”There’s no one outside, let’s try knocking on some doors.”

Hu Weimin wandered around, couldn’t see others, and didn’t want to rush over to Unit Three, so he suggested knocking on some doors.

Liu Danian nodded, ”Knock on the doors, Unit Three is likely crowded with mixed people, better not go there now.”

”Okay.”

Without hesitation, Hu Weimin chose room 3203 and knocked.

There seemed to be sounds inside, but no one dared to respond.

He knew someone was inside, likely wary of the three of them.

He proactively said, ”Hello, anyone there? We’re not here to cause trouble, we’re owners from Unit One, we just want to ask if you need to exchange supplies.”

After waiting for a while, there was still no response inside.

Hu Weimin couldn’t help but say, ”We have food and want to exchange for fish, any kind of fish. You can take a look, we’re sincerely here to exchange, not cause trouble.”

Then, he stepped back and took out a bun from his bag, ”Look, this is a meat bun, my wife just made it, it’s still hot. Made with fish meat, just one bun for four fish.”

”Anyone inside? The buns are limited; if you don’t exchange, I’ll go to the next household.”

”You should understand how precious flour is now. Forget buns, even noodles are hard to come by.”

”Can you hear me?”

He said a few more words, still no response inside.

Hu Weimin frowned, then turned to look at the opposite room 3204.

Unit Two, like Unit One, has two households per elevator; Unit One’s numbers end in 01 and 02, while Unit Two’s end in 03 and 04.

”Knock, knock, knock, anyone there? We’re here to exchange supplies.”

”Exchange supplies?”

Just after knocking, a puzzled voice came from inside, seemingly a man’s.

Then another voice sounded, ”Brother Li, who is it?”

”Three people outside, saying they want to exchange supplies.”

”Exchange supplies? Interesting, let’s see.”

”They’ve got weapons.”

”What’s there to fear, we also have four people, all equipped.”

As the voices rang out, Hu Weimin’s expression changed slightly, he immediately retreated, exchanging a look with Liu Danian.

”Xiaosong, keep the corridor door open. If anything goes wrong, run to Unit One and get Mr. Liang immediately.” Liu Danian quickly whispered.
