Chapter 34 Leading a Pig
July 20th.
The seventh day of the rainstorm.
The water level reached 31 meters this morning!
The eleventh floor was more than half submerged.
Looking out the window, most of Jinling was submerged under water, and only residential areas could be seen on the surface of the water, like reefs.
"Brother Yi."
Tian Laoliu controlled the wheelchair and frowned as he came to Zhao Yi: "The food is enough for us to survive for another day at most, you see..."
Since yesterday, Tian Laoliu took the initiative to hand over the power to Zhao Yi.
The food itself is not a big problem.
But after yesterday's celebration, after the tied people were freed, the problem was exposed.
"Well, I know."
Zhao Yi also knew it in his heart, and raised his hand to one side.
There were more than a dozen fishing rods there.
He made them overnight yesterday.
As a person with proficient survival skills, rubbing fishing rods with bare hands is completely a beginner's skill.
"Find a dozen people, let's go fishing on the 12th floor together, and try to catch one carp each!"
"As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. With such a large area of water, I don't believe there are no fish!"
Tian Laoliu frowned.
This is not what he expected!
But it's okay.
As for fishing, just fish first, and then talk about other things when you can't catch anything!
Everyone gathered together quickly.
Hidden at the window of the 12th floor, and started fishing.
This fishing lasted for half a day.
I don't know if it was because the bait was not good or the fish were too full, but fifteen people only caught two carps in half a day.
The total weight was only over three pounds!
After dinner.
Food is in serious emergency!
Zhao Yi sat on the 27th floor, his brows were almost wrinkled into a dough twist, and his stomach couldn't help but make noises.
In order to let others eat more, he has never eaten a full meal since yesterday!
Wait, what is this smell?
Zhao Yi's nose twitched, and he smelled the smell of beef hot pot from the window...
Obviously, dinner time has already started upstairs.
Today's dinner should be hot pot.
He swallowed his saliva.
If he hadn't gone downstairs, he would have been boiling M7 marbling beef by now.
"Brother Yi."
Tian Laoliu's voice sounded.
He slid over alone in a wheelchair.
"What's the matter?"
"It's still a food problem."
Tian Laoliu whispered: "There are too many people, and now people on the twelfth floor have also run out. The food they brought out is not enough for them to eat."
"Or...or... follow my method and tie up some people first?"
"No!"
Zhao Yi refused immediately.
If it wasn't him who made the decision, he could ignore it, but now it was his turn to make the final decision, how could he continue to tie people up!
"I'll find a way to solve the food problem, and I must not restrict their freedom."
"Hey."
Tian Laoliu responded, and then moved to the window: "This smell, is it hot pot? The food upstairs is really good."
Zhao Yi didn't say anything.
Although he came down, he knew what to say and what not to say.
"Brother Yi, tell me something definite."
Tian Laoliu turned around and continued: "How much food did the person upstairs hoard?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
"Why not!"
Tian Laoliu slapped the armrest of the wheelchair heavily: "They eat and drink delicious food up there all day long, as long as they share a little bit! Even if it's just a little bit, it will be enough for us to hold on for several days!"
"As long as we hold on, the rain will stop one day, right!"
"The rain will never stop."
As soon as he said it, Zhao Yi realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"What?!"
Without waiting for Tian Laoliu to speak.
A group of people rushed in directly from outside!
"What do you mean the rain won't stop?"
"Brother Yi, explain it more clearly!"
"Yes, Brother Yi, what do you know!"
The crowd questioned.
Tian Laoliu was silent at this moment.
He originally wanted to get the food reserves from Zhao Yi, and lure everyone to force Zhao Yi to launch an offensive against the upper level.
But he didn't expect...
This guy actually threw a bigger bomb!
"Quiet!"
Zhao Yi frowned and stood up.
With his height of nearly 1.9 meters, he still had a strong pressure on the crowd.
"Since I said I would take you to survive, it doesn't matter whether the rain stops or not!"
"Why should we believe you!" A question came from the crowd.
"Yes! Why should we trust you! Now the food is almost gone, can you let us survive? How? Eat ourselves?"
"Hehe, do you want to tie us up again?"
"If you have the ability, then go up to Xiao Hu and ask for food!"
Auntie Wang jumped up in the crowd and said bluntly: "Didn't you come down from upstairs? You know best how many things there are upstairs!"
"Let alone, bring down those pigs and cows! One pig is enough for us to eat for two days! Not to mention that the rain will not stop, at least we won't starve to death in the next few days!"
"Yes! Don't you have the ability! Go and ask for it!"
The noise was endless.
Zhao Yi frowned and clenched his fists, thinking for a few breaths, and finally nodded!
"Okay! I'll go and ask for it for you!"
Ten minutes later.
Shen Shan stood in front of Hu You and reported.
"You want pigs, right?"
"Don't give it to me!"
Zhao Zhong spoke up immediately and rushed to Hu You: "Boss Hu, you have helped us a lot. Those people below are greedy. Even if we give them the pig, how long will it last?"
"...I wish your brother could see it as clearly as you do."
Hu You raised his hand and patted Zhao Zhong on the shoulder.
He turned to look at Shen Shan: "Tell Zhao Yi that this pig was given to him for his brother's sake, and the material support is only for this time."
"If you come up to ask for something again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"I understand."
Shen Shan replied and turned to do it.
"Boss Hu..." Zhao Zhong didn't know what to say for a while.
In an instant, the favorability of Shen Shan and Zhao Zhong increased again.
Shen Shan reached 70, and Zhao Zhong reached 60!
A pig, in exchange for the favorability of two people increased so much... worth it!
The pig was taken away.
The people downstairs were reveling, shouting Zhao Yi's name continuously.
Smiles climbed onto their cheeks.
Killing pigs, storing meat, storing blood... even pig hairs were stored one by one, ready to be used as fuel.
The entire 27th floor was very lively.
But Zhao Yi knew that this kind of liveliness was only temporary. Once the pork was eaten, they would face new difficulties.
Unless...
Zhao Yi looked at the water in front of him, and an idea emerged in his mind.
Build a ship!
Food in the residential area is always limited. If there is a ship, the search range can be expanded and more food can be obtained!
But on the second day, when Zhao Yi was about to gather everyone to start work, another bad news came...
Fresh water, gone!
"Why is the fresh water gone?"
Zhao Yi asked: "When I looked at it yesterday, wasn't it enough for three days?"
"Yesterday was yesterday."
Tian Laoliu's tone was also full of helplessness: "You also know that everyone was busy killing pigs yesterday, and a lot of fresh water was used just for killing pigs."
"After all, there was a smell of pigs on our bodies, and we couldn't sleep well, so we just washed up."
"Today, I saw that there were less than 30 liters of fresh water left."
30 liters.
Only enough for everyone to drink for one day!
This is only for drinking!
"How about..."
Seeing Zhao Yi not speaking, Tian Laoliu asked tentatively: "Should we ask upstairs for some more?"
"No..."
"Ah!"
Zhao Yi was about to refuse when a scream suddenly came from the door.
He and Tian Laoliu looked at each other and rushed out immediately.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw two monsters lying on the ground, gnawing something frantically!
Those two people were the ones who handled Li Qiang's body at that time!
At the beginning, they all wore gloves and masks before handling the body. Could it be that... the transmission route of this virus can bypass gloves and masks?
"Get out of the way! Stay away!"
Zhao Yi shouted and took out the AK again.
But before he could shoot, Tian Laoliu stopped him!
"Wait!"
Everyone looked at him with confusion in their eyes.
"One bullet can't kill two monsters."
Tian Laoliu looked at Zhao Yi: "Brother Yi, I only have one question for you now."
"Do you want to take us alive, or... just to prove your usefulness?"
"Of course I want to take you alive!"
"Okay!"
Tian Laoliu raised his hand and pointed forward: "Then let me deal with these two things!"
