Liu Qiaoer also finished eating and stood up to clean up the two bowls. Cui Boyao moved a stool, came in front of the three people and continued to interrogate them.
"Tell me the truth. Who else is there in this community besides the three of you? If you are forming a group, how many people are there in your organization? If you can tell clearly, I will give you some mutton soup. If you can't tell clearly, I will throw you out of the window."
Although Liu Qiaoer lives on the eighth floor, someone would die if thrown down.
The three of them said in a rush.
"There's no one left, really no one. There are other people living in the community, and they all have families, including the elderly and children. The three of us are single men, and we got to know each other when the community asked us to help distribute supplies."
Cui Boxiao asked again: "Now the community is also distributing supplies, why are you still stealing from us?"
The bearded man smiled awkwardly: "You know what I mean? Besides, that little bit of food is only enough to fill our stomachs. We also want to eat something good."
It seemed that there was nothing more to be gained by asking, and Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer were also preparing to leave.
Liu Qiaoer cooked mutton soup with pancakes for them, and kindly cut three thin slices of mutton into each bowl, put them in a bowl, and took disposable chopsticks, opened the door, and put them in the fire escape.
"Eat now, and leave quickly after you finish eating. I just came back to take a look. We are going back to our hometown. The base there is being built. I advise you to go to the base as soon as possible to avoid the disaster. The disaster has just begun, and this place will fall sooner or later."
In Liu Qiaoer's time, the cities above ground had become ruins, and everyone was either hiding in air-raid shelters or in basements.
A wave of nuclear radiation killed many people. Those who survived lived underground, and after the underground city was built, ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
The people living outside either died or were infected with the virus and turned into zombies, and their fates were tragic.
The three men obviously didn't listen to what Liu Qiaoer said. As soon as they were untied, they rushed out the door and started eating with the bowls in their hands.
Liu Qiaoer gave Cui Boyao a wink, and they simply tidied up the house. It was time to cut off the power, so they closed the windows and doors, turned off the faucets, locked the door, and left.
When she got downstairs, Liu Qiaoer saw figures floating in the green belt of the community and snorted coldly: "Those three people really didn't tell the truth. There are still so many people here, but their fate is not so good."
Cui Boxiao ignored those people and took the key: "I'll open it."
Liu Qiaoer got into the car, while Cui Boyao opened the hood, checked the engine, crawled under the car to see if there was anything else, and finally opened the rear end of the car to check the exhaust pipe.
Sure enough, he took out a steel wool from the exhaust pipe and found nothing else wrong. After checking, he quickly got into the car, started the engine, turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, all in one go.
The car rushed out suddenly.
At this time, Cui Boxiao saw two people chasing him, holding kitchen knives in their hands, and two people in front of him actually tried to block his way.
Cui Boxiao didn't even look at them and rushed towards them. The two of them hurriedly made way.
"Catch them and take their supplies."
"No, Lao Zhao and the other three haven't come down yet. They must have done it to him."
"There are only four of us left, and they don't care about us."
One of them took out the remote control, and the gate of the community was slowly closed.
However, the door was half closed, and Liu Qiaoer had a remote control in her hand and opened the door directly.
The four people stared and watched Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao leave.
Liu Qiaoer snorted coldly and threw the door remote control out of the car.
"Don't wait, you're too late, they'll have eaten all the meat, and you won't even have soup."
The four people suddenly realized: "They can actually eat meat, it must be given by them, let's go and take a look."
When the four people went up the stairs, they happened to see the three of them finishing the rice in the bowl. Then they quarreled violently and even broke up.
None of this has anything to do with Liu Qiaoer.
She and Cui Boyao ate and drank well, rested well, and continued to head south.
The leaders want to restore the city's construction. The ideal is good, but the reality is cruel. The further south you go, the more difficult it is to restore and the greater the losses.
After walking further south for three or four days, we couldn't even find electricity, let alone people. We didn't see a single one.
After being flooded, the cities in the south were completely abandoned.
After the sea water receded, there were corpses and debris everywhere. Because of the cold weather, many things were frozen. There were no mosquitoes or flies, but there were a lot of rats, and the streets were full of rats.
Rats, like cockroaches, are not afraid of the cold. They can survive in such cold weather. They are really tougher than humans.
However, Liu Qiaoer gradually discovered that the rats here were all very big. The fattest rat could be killed with one foot, but now the rats are bigger than domestic cats.
Could it be that the mice have begun to mutate
Until evening, Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao still couldn't find a suitable place to rest.
Almost every spot was infested with rats, and they came to a small service area.
"How are we going to get off the bus with so many rats?"
Liu Qiaoer is not afraid of anything except these disgusting things, such as cockroaches, rats, and flies. She is afraid of them all.
Cui Boxiao opened the door, got out of the car, and went into the bathroom. After taking care of his physiological problems, he picked up a fire extinguisher, smashed the glass of the service area, and moved all the combustible things such as curtains, cloth, paper, and long wooden benches to the toilet.
I burned a piece of the curtain with a lighter, and immediately all the rats in the toilet ran out.
It was so huge that even Liu Qiaoer, who was sitting in the car, felt her scalp tingling when she saw that group of things.
The burning rats screamed and ran for their lives. After a long time, Cui Boyao picked up the fire extinguisher, went into the toilet, and put out the fire.
Not long after, Cui Boyao came out.
"The toilet is clean and you can go in. Go ahead."
Liu Qiaoer hurried to the toilet, quickly solved the problem, and the two got back in the car.
"Are we going to sleep here tonight?"
Cui Boxiao glanced around and said, "Let's find a five-star hotel. This city is relatively developed. Although there are no people in the city, the facilities are still there. Besides, as long as the floor you live on is high enough, there shouldn't be any problem."
Liu Qiaoer felt like vomiting when she thought of the rats: "There won't be rats in a five-star hotel, right?"
Cui Boxiao shook his head: "Mice usually sleep in the sewers. They also need to eat. There won't be any mice. We haven't had a good night's sleep for several days. I know where the most luxurious hotel is. I'll take you there."
Cui Boxiao was driving and seemed to be very familiar with the place. He didn't need a navigation system. After entering the city, he turned left and right and arrived at a luxury hotel with more than 50 floors.
The hotel is so tall that it seems that mice cannot get in, but there is no elevator, so Liu Qiaoer cannot get in either.
Cui Boxiao found the hotel's fire escape, tied the safety rope around his waist, and hugged Liu Qiaoer's slender waist.
"Hold on to me and I'll get you in."
