On the first day, the four of them swept away the wood on the 24th and 25th floors.
The next day, the 26th and 27th floors were also swept clean.
But after walking for two days in a row, they found a total of sixteen households on four floors. Although there were so many households, they didn't see even a single person. This made them feel very doubtful in their hearts.
"Where are the people?"
But in fact, in order to prevent the four of them from attacking other people in the building if they ran out of food, the residents downstairs had long united and moved in together.
Because the water kept rising, the floors that were too low were uninhabitable, and the floors that were too high were too close to the four of them, so they finally moved to the third floor, 28-30. After all, there is no separate road on the 31st floor.
Is it a protective door? It is really impossible to lock this door, but it is also a protection for people like them.
So no matter whether it is crowded or not, they will only stay on these three floors anyway, and naturally no one will be found on the lower floors.
When they arrived at the 28th hour on the third day, they discovered the figure who had frozen to death due to the rapid drop in temperature.
Looking at the people hugging each other to keep each other warm, Huang Jinghe felt very unbearable. He said: "How about..."
"How about..." Lao Gao looked at Huang Jinghe and repeated these two words.
Just when he thought Huang Jinghe was going to say something unacceptable to them, Huang Jinghe just said: "How about... throw these people downstairs and stay in the same building with them. I always feel like...
It’s so panicking, and it’s so close.”
Ling Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and joked unconsciously: "People have died so miserably, and you still want to throw them down, you are really good at it."
Huang Jinghe said with a bitter face: "But I always feel like it's leaking, and it's okay for these people to be frozen in the weather now. It's easy to cause problems when the weather is hot. It's better to just throw them down and pull them down."
When Lan Jin heard this, he subconsciously asked: "Do you know when it will get hot today?"
This..., he really doesn't know.
Lao Gao said: "Okay, how about putting them all in a room and locking them up, would it be better? If you really feel panicked, let's make sure there is no one on the 31st floor."
If no one is around, just lock the security door on the 31st floor. If we want to leave in the future, we can open it ourselves. That's okay."
This is definitely better than leaving it open, but in fact, as Lao Gao said, "I am here on the 33rd floor. I really don't know what you are afraid of."
"This is different."
The situations are different, and so are the living and the dead. One is physical fear, the other is psychological fear, but they are all fears anyway.
Since Huang Jinghe had made this request, he naturally couldn't expect anyone else to do it. Fortunately, Lao Gao came to help him, and it didn't take him a while to lock all the frozen people into a room.
At the same time, Lan Jin and Ling Jiang were not idle either. They had been busy removing wood that could be burned at home.
The four households on the 28th floor were all wiped out, but when they planned to clean the 29th and 30th floors, they unexpectedly discovered that some people had actually survived on these two floors.
Since there were people, they naturally would not disturb others, and then the group came to the 31st floor.
Speaking of which, there was actually a family living alone on the 31st floor. But during the heavy rain period, they moved downstairs because they were afraid of the people on the two floors. Now they have no plans to go upstairs again.
Gao Bian acquiesced that there was no one on this floor and immediately demolished all four households.
The four of them first dismantled all the wood from the four households on the 31st floor and went home. Then Lao Gao took out a general lock and locked the safety door tightly.
The reaction was as if these people were coveting the wood they had brought home.
Lan Jin joked: "Are you afraid that these people downstairs will come and rob you?"
"No, I'm afraid they'll come up and steal it while I'm sleeping."
…
In three days, all the wood in the building was finally collected.
At this moment, they still did not choose to go out, but were thinking about making charcoal.
Almost at dawn, the four of them went to the rooftop one after another and started working.
The work of making charcoal, for the four people who had never accepted it, everything went... quite unsatisfactory. Not to mention a lot of wood was wasted, the charcoal was not done at all, and the charcoal and other things were not done well.
Instead, I piled up a small pot.
Looking at the gray basin, the four of them felt very sad.
But just as the four of them were squatting on the rooftop and thinking carefully about whether they had missed something, a scream came from below the rooftop.
Ling Jiang asked as he ran towards the rooftop, "This..., someone is shouting."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stuck her head out.
When Ling Jiang saw the scene below, she found that there was more than one person on the ice downstairs.
Some of these people in twos and threes were traveling together, some were walking alone, but they were all the same. They would fall down from time to time, and the screams kept coming and going. If you just watched the excitement, it would be really interesting.
But seeing these people falling so hard, Huang Jinghe asked doubtfully: "Look at this, can you get out?"
"It looks like it's really working. If we don't have to wait another day to freeze, let's go out and try it tomorrow."
The other three people immediately echoed: "Okay."
But let’s talk about tomorrow’s things tomorrow. I can’t do anything today.
Looking at the piles of wood on the ground, Lao Gao felt really distressed. After thinking for a while, he finally said: "Sister Ling, why don't we take it to your house and let Grandma Ling teach you how to do it, otherwise it will be too much wood?
.”
They really have no experience in making charcoal, but if they burn it directly, the smoke will be really big. After all, the outside of the wood is wrapped with a ring of chemical ingredients. Without turning it into charcoal, it is really impossible to make a fire at home.
Ling Jiang looked at the things they made and couldn't refuse at all. He immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll tell you even if you don't ask. What kind of things are they making? If I burn them at home, I won't be hurt."
It’s frozen like this.”
…
The four of them went back and forth, and somehow the task of making charcoal fell on Huang Jinghe.
Huang Jinghe didn't care, turned around and went to the balcony to learn from Grandma Ling.
The other three people were also studying near the balcony where to get supplies tomorrow.
Lan Jin said: "We are only thinking about getting supplies, but the icy road outside is definitely not easy to walk on. After several people fell on the ice, their clothes and skin were all stained on it and they couldn't get it off. Should we also consider traveling?
A matter of safety.”
Ling Jiang said: "Yes, this is also very important. Oh my god, I saw that the skin was stained by ice. It hurt when I saw it. I suggest you bring a bottle of hot water. Just in case it gets stained, use hot water to clean it.
