The reason was simply that the men in their family did not come back with the team, but the chairman seemed to have already thought of how to deal with this group of people.
"There are still a lot of things there. Maybe they want to bring more back. You can wait a little longer, maybe in the early morning, maybe tomorrow."
The Chairman waved his hand, as if he had nothing to do.
At seven o'clock in the afternoon, it was very dark, and there were many weak lights downstairs. Qian Yan couldn't see the details clearly, but what was certain was that the people headed by the Chairman brought back the most things, a total of 7 A rubber boat thing.
Qian Yan raised her eyebrows, the chairman was quite capable.
"Everyone, listen! These supplies were brought back by all of us! These supplies we brought back will be distributed uniformly in the end! As long as they are people in our building committee, everyone has a share!"
The chairman of the committee held a loudspeaker he found somewhere in his hand and spoke to the crowd around him.
After saying that, several strong men behind the chairman began to count the things behind. In addition to the supplies brought back by the chairman and his group, there were also some people who went out by themselves, in groups of three or five, or in twos. People work together, and no one seems to be coming back alone at the moment anyway.
This is how people are. Without benefit and value, it is often difficult to move forward. Especially in the end of the world, if you do not have enough self-protection ability, you must actively look for all possibilities to survive.
Qian Yan noticed a familiar face in the crowd, a man whose wife was pregnant at the beginning of the apocalypse. It seemed that they had chosen to join this committee.
In the previous life, maybe Qian Yan would have agreed to join this committee. After all, people would really starve to death in this environment.
"You are also on the committee, why don't you hand over the supplies?"
Qian Yan only heard the sound but saw no one. She thought it was the women in the corridor who were questioning, and there were two men and one woman standing on several rubber boats at the back of the team.
One of the women was obviously panicked.
"But I didn't bring these supplies back alone, the three of us brought them back together. They are not members of the committee."
"Then you hand over one-third of the supplies!"
"I didn't get a third of the things. Most of these things were brought back by them. They just didn't have more rubber boats. They were kind enough to take me back."
"You just want to steal the supplies! You must hand over one-third of these things!"
But the girl is obviously not one to let them be angry.
"I told you, I'm just a casual visitor. I only brought back two bags of noodles in total, and the rest belong to them."
"You girl has a bad conscience! You want the benefits of both sides! How can someone be willing to take you back for no reason? If you say you don't know each other, why should we believe it! Who knows if there is anything unclear to you? Relationship!"
"that is!"
"you"
"Why are you talking nonsense? Why are you like this?"
"Damn! I'm glad I didn't join your committee. Why? Do you still want to eat people? If you have the ability, go out and get it yourself! You're the only one who has a mouth, right! The dog is barking."
The two guys riding with the girl couldn't stand it either, so they stood up and defended the girl.
"What are you talking about? Why are you scolding me like a young man! It's not a good thing at first glance! I think she's right! Maybe you three are related in some way."
The group of women in the building didn't think it was a big deal. Seeing that their men were back, they naturally felt that they had support, and they became even more rude.
"I'm telling you, everything belongs to me and my brother. If you have the ability, come and snatch it away. I can punch both of you, believe it or not!"
Seeing that both sides were about to start a fight, the Chairman finally appeared.
"Don't make any noise, what's going on?"
"Chairman, it's her! She wants to monopolize our public food!"
"She wants to keep it all to herself? She said she would give you her share, but you guys are not satisfied and want our share. Now you are reasonable, right?"
"Hey~ Young man, don't be angry. I apologize to you two on their behalf. They are also impatient. We are all neighbors. Give me some face and be tolerant. Please be tolerant."
The chairman's peacemaker appearance, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, has defeated many people.
But this time he obviously hit a hard target.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Where were you when I was just willing to talk to you? Now that you are the peacemaker, you are the only one who knows how to do things, right? You fooled a large group of people at the villa and are waiting there. The rubber boat is pulling supplies for you, and you want to fool me when you come back, right? Let me tell you, I won’t accept your trick!"
The young man seemed to have a bad temper, so he retaliated directly and revealed a lot of information at the same time.
The crowd immediately erupted in anger, pointing their finger at the Chairman.
"Chairman, have you seen my husband? He went out with you and hasn't come back yet. Didn't you say there are supplies and rubber boats over there? How are they doing?"
"Chairman, and my husband."
"Chairman! My son also went out with you."
Now the chairman of the committee was surrounded by everyone.
Qian Yan silently gave a thumbs up to the man who exposed him.
Deserve it! She knew that things were not that simple. With so many people going out, only so few came back?
Although the villa is a resort, canyoning is also open in the summer, but no matter how many rubber boats there are, the people who go there are not just people from their community. Now there are people everywhere looking for supplies, and everyone is there. Can everyone get one?
"Everyone, be quiet!" A loud shout suddenly broke out from the crowd.
Three or four men came out from behind, each about 1.8 meters tall. Just standing there, the crowd fell silent.
The chairman cleared his throat: "I understand everyone's psychology. I can assure you that they will come back safely. In this way, tomorrow, at dawn tomorrow, I will bring some people to personally pick them back. What do you think? ?”
"Wow!" In an instant, the heavy rain that had been holding for a long time fell down like water.
The noise downstairs was drowned in the heavy rain. Qian Yan couldn't hear clearly what was said. She could only vaguely hear crying, shouting, noise, and the sound of fists and feet mixed together.
"Snapped!"
The window was slammed shut by Gu Peihuai, and Qian Yan's thoughts were pulled back again.
"What do you think?"
"What do you think?"
Qian Yan pretended not to understand.
"All I know is that the weather outside has completely changed. We won't be able to get out in the short term. You should worry about whether you have enough food to eat."
Gu Peihuai said nothing, just stood there and stared at Qian Yan silently. Qian Yan was stared at inexplicably.
"What are you looking at? Even though I promised to take care of your food, I can't get out. Look at how good these two guys are, and I still have to feed them."
The continuous heavy rains outside in the next few months will only be heavy rains at the beginning. These heavy rains will flood the newly thawed cities. This is not the most terrifying thing. Then the heavy rains will gradually become smaller, but they will become serious. Corrosive acid rain will corrode human skin upon contact.
The arrival of heavy rain is accompanied by a short-term sudden drop in temperature, but this can only last until the arrival of acid rain. During this period, the temperature will rise rapidly. Coupled with the arrival of acid rain, the hot and humid air will enter people's lungs. A large number of people will die from lung infection
This means that they will have to stay here for a long time.
Everything has just begun.
"Are you worried about this?"
Seeing Gu Peihuai's unscrupulous look, Qian Yan realized that this guy also had superpowers. Maybe the superpowers could allow him to survive in such weather.
He asked again: "Gu Peihuai, with your special powers, can you go out in such weather?"
"sure.
Sure enough, the advantages of having superpowers in the apocalypse are obvious.
"But it won't be easy, at least for now."
Qian Yan was stunned.
"Isn't it okay if you have super powers?"
"Superpowers are, after all, abilities evolved by humans in order to adapt to the environment. No matter how powerful they are, they will not surpass nature, let alone."
"You will know later."
Gu Peihuai smiled at Qian Yan.
Yes, humans are products of nature, so how can they expect to defeat nature? But even if they have superpowers, they still have to struggle to survive. What about people like them who don't have superpowers?
Seeing Qian Yan's thoughtful look.
"As for what you just said, it's completely unnecessary."
Were you worried just now?
Gu Peihuai refers to materials?
Isn't Gu Peihuai worried about supplies? Qian Yan was a little confused. Although they went out together and brought back a lot of supplies, people had to eat every meal. Knowing that they would be trapped here for such a long time, how could they not worry about the continued supply of supplies? Unless Gu Peihuai also has a material like her!
Thinking of this, Qian Yan couldn't help but sigh, how lucky this guy is. He has superpowers. Wouldn't it be too outrageous to have unlimited supplies?
But it turns out that God is fair. Gu Peihuai took Qian Yan to the study room at home. He saw the guy playing with something on the bookshelf, and a ladder fell from the ceiling!
Qianyan froze on the spot and stared in disbelief at what was happening in front of her.
But it wasn't until she followed Gu Peihuai all the way up that she was truly amazed.
The moment you turn on the light
This guy! No wonder I feel confident on weekdays. This is the 25th floor. It is connected to the 24th floor by Gu Peihuai. Even the two houses on the 25th floor are all Gu Peihuai's material storage!
The entire space on the first floor, except for the stairwell at the safety passage, and even the elevator, were built with a wall by Gu Peihuai. The entire 25th floor, which totaled almost 700 square meters, was filled with supplies by Gu Peihuai!
Just in terms of refrigerators and air conditioners, this guy has more than ten refrigerators and air conditioners, which are placed in every corner of the room. There is even a room dedicated to a freezer for storing meat, and another room that looks like a laboratory. The whole room is sealed, and there are many cultivation boxes in which vegetables and fruits of all sizes are cultivated, and lights are placed above them.
With these things, if preserved properly, this guy will indeed have enough confidence.
But what Qian Yan is a little confused about is that after the end of the world, there was a large-scale power outage. So many electronic devices and freezers require a lot of power to maintain. If Gu Peihuai doesn't have such a heaven-defying thing as space, where can he solve it? Such a huge electricity problem?
"your electricity"
Gu Peihuai transformed what was originally the living room into a master control room. Qian Yan couldn't see many of the equipment in it clearly.
Gu Peihuai opened a lid from a countertop, entered a password, and a rectangular safe popped out. It didn't look big, about 50x50x70, in size.
Enter a string of passwords again, "Beep~" When the safe is opened, a blue light shines inside.
There are 5 chips neatly arranged.
It looked like a computer chip, but Qian Yan knew that what Gu Peihuai could save like this was not just a simple computer chip.
"This is a nuclear energy chip that uses the highest technology. It only consumes the electricity of this room. These chips can provide time in light years. If human life is used as a calculation, you can also understand it as eternity. "
Gu Peihuai's narration completely broke Qian Yan's long-standing knowledge. She had heard of the existence of nuclear batteries, but this technology was only used in the field of aviation or diving technology, but she did not know about these technologies. It has already reached this level of essence.
In the end of the world, if anyone possesses such a thing or such technology, one can imagine their high status.
"This is for you. In the future, I'm afraid that the solar charging panels at your home won't be able to sustain the power consumption. With this, you don't have to worry about that anymore."
Qian Yan was a little at a loss because she didn't expect Gu Peihuai to give her this or the whole box!
It would be false to say that she is not excited. Although she has space and the electricity in the space is naturally unlimited, this kind of thing also has its absolute advantages in her hands. It makes many things much more convenient.
"I don't know what to exchange with you this time."
Qian Yan could give Gu Peihuai supplies in exchange before, but now it seems that this guy doesn't lack these things at all.
"Take it, these things are not rare. Although this matter of the apocalypse is a secret, many people still have the news after the apocalypse. Once the news is released, many people will take advantage of it. This thing has long been It spread in the market.”
Qian Yan knew that what Gu Peihuai said was definitely an exaggeration. After all, she had received the news at the beginning of the end of the world in her last life, but she only knew about the existence of this kind of thing now. Even if it started to circulate, she could master it. Yes, I’m afraid there aren’t even 0.1% of people.
But Qian Yan still received these chips because she needed to survive! She will not refuse anything that is beneficial to her!
"Gu Peihuai, why are you helping me?" Qian Yan felt more and more confused. Her space was of course of great benefit, but after all, she had never told anyone else, so why did Gu Peihuai help her?
