"Pack!"
"I found that the people in the Huo family, from Huo Biao to Huo Jinyan, to these bodyguards, are all so damn good at putting on a show!"
"It seems that they are the only ones in the world who have a moral bottom line, they are the only ones who treat the untouchables in the slums as human beings, and they are the only ones who still practice the principle of equality of life!"
This was what the man cursed after Jin Yan and the other two walked out of the hotel in water deeper than their knees.
After he finished scolding, everyone else nodded in agreement, but none of them continued.
At first they didn't know if anyone from the Huo family was still in the hotel.
Secondly, they are ashamed to speak.
There is a saying that a gentleman does not care about his heart.
In any case, it rained so heavily and the floods were so deep. There were so many dirty things in the water. If you were unlucky, you might be washed away by the floods and die.
In such a harsh environment, if you ask them to pretend, they will not be able to pretend at all, and they will not risk their lives to perform some kind of human justice.
From this point of view, they are not qualified to judge Huo Jinyan at all.
On the other side, Jin Yan and the others took action from the nearby area after leaving.
In the past, hotel staff would clean up the silt and garbage inside every year when there was heavy rain and flooding. The hotel basically had all kinds of tools that could be used. Now, what they use is the tools they take from the hotel utility room.
There is no way to know how deep the water is outside without leaving the hotel.
The garbage blocking the drain is the next best thing. What is even more unacceptable is the people blocking the drain.
His body was so rotten that he could hardly be seen as a human being.
When he found the first person, Jin Yan also tried to drag the body to a higher place to prevent it from continuing to rot and produce maggots, which would then spread bacteria and cause disease.
But with the second, third, and later she even forgot which person it was, they no longer had the extra energy to do those things.
What is sad is that some people were hit beyond recognition in the flood, but they still clutched shopping bags from the supermarket. It is no longer possible to know what they bought, but they had to go out to buy despite heavy rain. It was nothing more than that. Just those few situations.
"Miss, the terrain there is higher. You go up there and sit and rest for a while. Reko and I will do this." Yu Mei said.
Jin Yan shook his head, "No, let's finish it together and go back early."
Knowing that they couldn't persuade Jin Yan, neither of them spoke, but worked harder.
Near noon, Ye Liting called and asked Jin Yan about their location.
Jin Yan said: "We are fine. Don't worry. We won't go back to the hotel at noon. There is a supermarket nearby. Just eat something. See you in the evening."
"I knew you were going to do this. You don't have to go back. Eat more and pay attention to washing your hands and disinfecting. There are bacteria in the water now." Ye Liting said.
As for the body in the water, no one mentioned it.
Jin Yan and the others cleaned three more drains before stopping in front of a supermarket whose door had been washed away.
The supermarket was full of water, and the shelves were tilted up and down. Most of the goods were washed away by the flood, leaving only a few items scattered in twos and threes in a corner or high place.
Not long after Jin Yan entered, she found two cans of candy and several boxes of cheese sticks. She picked up a garbage bag hanging on the shelf and put everything she found behind it.
By the time Yu Mei called her, the bag in her hand was already full.
"Miss, there are chocolates here." Yu Mei said.
When Jin Yan passed by, he saw three or four shelves intersecting together. In the end, a small shelf was supported, and there were several boxes of chocolates placed in the upper corner.
Yu Mei took it off, removed the soaked packaging, and put all the chocolate inside into their pockets.
Not long after, Reko came over.
He was carrying a black hiking bag, and in his hand was a bag full of canned meat, with some potato chips and the like mixed in. Jin Yan even saw several bags of spicy strips inside.
"Whatever luck you have, Latiao can give you a chance." Yu Mei said.
Reko motioned for her to look down, and Yu Mei followed his line of sight and saw the squashed cigarette box underneath the cans.
Yu Mei clicked her tongue and said: "You are so lucky, no one else is."
After leaving the supermarket, the three of them came to a square. There was no flooding in the high stands, so they sat down and ate something there.
After eating, they packed the chocolate, spicy bars and cigarettes into their hiking bags, while the cans were tied up in bags and left on the highest step.
They still have to continue working. These things are destined to be taken away and left in a place without water. They will be picked up by others. If they rely on this to survive, they can survive for a while.
I don't know if it was because I was too tired, but the afternoon passed extremely long. Yu Mei didn't know how many times she checked the time.
Suddenly, she cursed, "It's only eight o'clock now. Is there something wrong with the watch, or is the sun not setting today?"
Jin Yan and Leike both paused, looked up, and found something unusual.
"You said it's eight o'clock now?" Jin Yan asked.
Yu Mei: "Yeah, I've watched it several times. Today is so abnormal. Are there any aliens coming to Blue Star?"
Jin Yan said while packing his things, "Maybe."
Yu Mei: "..."
She was joking, but what about the eldest lady, is she joking or serious?
"That's it for today, let's go back to the hotel." Jin Yan said.
Yu Mei: "Are you going back now?"
Jin Yan said: "Right away."
After hearing this, Lei Ke and Yu Mei did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the hotel with Jin Yan.
The rain stopped at some point. When they walked to the hotel door, a big sun appeared in the sky. Many people in other hotel rooms nearby were sticking their heads out to look out. They were obviously shocked by this bizarre scene.
"Let's go!"
Jin Yan started running, and Yu Mei and Leike also started running with all their strength.
As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, there were horrifying screams behind them.
Yu Mei turned around and saw a person she had met in the hotel before. At this moment, the person seemed to have just experienced a strong acid rain. The clothes on his body were burned and disappeared in an instant. The smell of burning protein could be smelled everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, a perfectly functioning person turned into a dark and terrifying skeleton.
Someone screamed in fright.
The sound fell to the ground, and the skeleton instantly disintegrated. What was scattered on the ground were some black and rotten things that had long lost the shape of human bones.
Not to mention ordinary people, Yu Mei and Reko were both shocked by this scene.
However, Jin Yan put away his gaze without changing his expression and said, "Go back to the room."
When they wanted to go upstairs, they were stopped by a group of people at the entrance of the corridor, led by Fang Qian and the man from before.
They pointed their black guns at Jin Yan and the other three.
"Get out of here!"
"Don't try to bring the virus to us!"
"Get out of the hotel quickly or we'll shoot!"
