Chapter 15: Calculation Frustrated

They worked together to install the door to add security to the twenty-sixth floor, and then returned home urged by the sultry air.

The temperature gradually climbed to 63 degrees.

The power generation panels installed in most residents' homes do not have high wattage and cannot support the operation of air conditioners, so they can only use fans.

But the effect of the fan is minimal.

A group that had difficulty adapting, fell ill one after another in the extreme weather, and Mrs. Wang downstairs was not spared either.

"I heard that Yang Beijia went to take care of her." Just when Wen Qizhou was talking to Zhong Chen who was looking for him upstairs, he heard Yao Chengwei quarreling with her at the door because of Mrs. Wang's matter.

Chi Yue: "..."

"She is really sick." She couldn't understand Yang Beijia's thoughts and asked casually: "Old Mrs. Wang's family is gone?"

"They're all still there."

Wen Qizhou said unclearly: "Her wife left early and her son got divorced. Now there are only three people in the family."

"She doesn't know that Yang Beijia has a boyfriend?" Asking a little girl to take care of a foreign man's family is most likely because Mrs. Wang has fallen in love with her and wants to find a wife for her son.

"It doesn't matter if I know it."

Chi Yue clicked her tongue: "How disgusting."

"That's right." He raised the dumbbell and his eyes fell on Chi Yue's face: "Zhong Chen asked us to go out to find supplies tonight."

"You agreed?"

"Yeah." He raised his eyelids, not concealing the murderous intention lingering in his heart: "The place he chose is very suitable for taking action."

Chi Yue has no objection.

She tugged at the corner of Wen Qizhou's clothes, and when he bent down, she fed him some cherries: "Who else did he call?"

"Brother Yuan, Yao Chengwei and his roommate." He swallowed the pulp: "And Brother Liu, who went to the supermarket with us last time."

Zhong Chen is very good at choosing people.

She, Wen Qizhou, Yuan Chuan, and Brother Liu have a certain level of force, and they have the ability to fight back if they encounter a robbery gang.

However, Yao Chengwei and his roommate have never experienced severe beatings from society. Their biggest advantage is that they are obedient and will not stab him in the back.

At critical moments, it can also be pushed out to block the knife.

"His calculations are quite loud." Chi Yue did not speculate on him with the greatest malice. In fact, it was too obvious that he had deliberately approached Yao Chengwei and the two recently.

"It's a pity." Wen Qizhou straightened up, and a faint light flashed in his deep pupils: "His plan will fail."

*

Late at night, eight people met downstairs.

Their destination this time was where Zhong Chen worked. It was said that there were several studios in that building that provided live broadcasts, with drinks, food, clothing, etc. all available.

But the distance was too far, so Zhong Chen and Wen Qizhou drove them for more than half an hour to get to the downstairs of the building.

"The 12th to 20th floors are all studios." Zhong Chen, who is most familiar with this place, took the lead and led them to climb from the safety passage to the 12th floor: "It will be more efficient if we search separately."

"Then there are two of us in a team?"

"Okay." Zhong Chen assigned the floors to them and did not forget to warn: "Please pay attention to safety and call me if you need anything."

Hearing Qizhou nodded lightly.

He and Chi Yue were assigned to floors 14-15. The studio on the 14th floor was hung with a U-shaped lock, and it was obvious that no one had visited it yet.

"Yueyue, you put it away first." He put down the backpack behind him, took out the dagger and prepared to go downstairs: "I'll be back soon."

"Please be quieter."

"good."

Chi Yue smashed open the glass door after he left.

She followed the light of the flashlight and walked inside. When she discovered that this studio specializes in maternal and infant products, she paused for a moment.

With the mentality of "everything is here, come here", she collected some cartons labeled with milk powder, baby bottles, diapers, clothing, etc., and rummaged through the employees' workstations.

There are a lot of unopened things on the workstation.

She put the drinks, snacks and cigarettes she found into her backpack separately, made sure nothing was missing, and left the studio.

Out of curiosity, Chi Yue raised her feet and went downstairs.

The 12th floor was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. If it weren't for the two or three boxes of supplies piled at the door, she might have thought there was no one inside.

She walked straight through the corridor and when she passed an office, she heard a frightened cry for mercy through the door.

"Brother Zhou..." Zhou Wenwen fell to the ground, and next to her lay Zhong Chen, whose artery had been cut: "No, don't kill me."

Ten minutes ago, she and Zhong Chen had just moved the supplies they found to the door. Wen Qizhou, who suddenly came downstairs, took them to the office at the end of the corridor on the pretext of having something to do.

Who would have guessed──

The moment Wen Qizhou closed the door, he pulled out the dagger without saying a word and cut the main artery in Zhong Chen's neck.

The unprepared Zhong Chen fell down on the spot.

Zhou Wenwen looked at him bleeding profusely, her face was as pale as paper with fright, and all her strength seemed to have been drained from her whole body.

When the tip of the knife was pointed at her, she couldn't stop thinking about what went wrong and begged for mercy, begging him to let it go.

But Wen Qizhou didn't give her a way out.

In order to prevent her from screaming, he killed Zhou Wenwen in the same way the moment she spoke again.

Drops of blood fell from the tip of the knife, and the hand holding the handle of the knife trembled slightly in the dim light.

He used the moonlight to see clearly the miserable condition of the two of them, and the long-standing depression disappeared at the moment they died.

A small "click" sound was heard in the ear.

He turned around cautiously and saw that the person opening the door was Chi Yue. His eyes suddenly softened: "Why are you down?"

"Want to see them."

Chi Yue glanced at the two corpses and took out the stream water in the bottle: "Spread your hands and let me wash them for you."

His hand stained with blood reached under the mouth of the bottle.

Wen Qizhou lowered his eyes and watched the hand being washed by the water, and his whole heart returned to calm.

He put the dagger he had cleaned at the same time back on his waist and led Chi Yue outside to search for supplies on this floor.

The 12th and 13th floors are studios specializing in toiletries and snacks. Occasionally, you can find water in offices and workstations.

They stayed on the 13th floor for a while and continued to walk upstairs. On the pretext of seeing the results, they collected several boxes of aquatic products, kitchen utensils, candy and clothing, etc. on the floor where the other four people were responsible, and quietly placed them in Chi Yue's space.

The six people dragged the cargo box with full harvest and went downstairs carrying backpacks filled with different supplies.

"Zhong Chen? Zhou Wenwen?" Yuan Chuan shouted on the 13th floor, but received no response: "Where did they go?"

"It should be downstairs?"

Brother Liu saw that there were no cargo boxes at the entrance of the studio, so he thought they had gone downstairs in advance to wait.

They went down to another floor, and Yuan Chuan shouted twice more, but strangely, the two people still didn't respond.

"Is something going wrong?" Yao Chengwei peeked behind the glass door and told them what they were thinking.

The air was suddenly silent for a moment.

Yuan Chuan: "I'll go in and look for it." He loosened the hemp rope for hauling the goods and said, "Maybe they are resting in some room."

The others were worried and immediately followed.
