"It's so cold today!" Mrs. Tang sighed, rubbing her hands: "We still have the heater on at home, and I'm afraid it will be even worse for other people."
"Yes." Zhou Xiaoya agreed, feeling even more moved in her heart. If it weren't for Sister Tang Ran, she would have died of cold in the ice and snow.
Tang Ran sat lazily aside, staring at the movement downstairs in boredom, and answering a few words from time to time.
Seeing the two small black dots in the distance moving slowly towards this side, Tang Ran suddenly became energetic: "Someone is back." He picked up the telescope on the side and started observing.
Mother Tang and Zhou Xiaoya also stopped talking immediately and stood by the window to watch.
The two people who returned were walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, both carrying a large backpack and carrying a lot of things in their hands. It looked like they had gained a lot.
But Tang Ran looked sad. He went out with more than ten people, but only two came back. The casualties were really too great.
Seeing the two of them stumbling and supporting each other back to the unit building, Tang Ran looked away, pursed his lips and said, "Call dad and Tang Jing, we may be in trouble."
"How is that possible?" Zhou Xiaoya was immediately puzzled, "Didn't you just say that you will kill the chicken to scare the monkey during the day? Will it be safe for the time being?"
Tang Ran patted Zhou Xiaoya's head and said softly: "Their casualties were too great. Compared with the unknown risks to the outside world, even if we're fat sheep', even if they have some force value, what does it mean?"
Looking at the two sleepy-eyed people who were woken up by Tang's mother, Tang Ran explained the matter in a few words. Suddenly Tang Jing's eyes flashed with a fierce look: "Sister, don't be afraid. If they dare to come, I will let them go and never come back!"
Tang Ran shook his head and said amusedly: "I'm not afraid, I just think we should be prepared."
Tang's father nodded, grabbed Tang Jing's ear and said, "I was afraid of being exposed before, but now I'm not afraid anymore. I go to the corridor every day to practice swordsmanship and fighting skills with me."
As he said that, Tang's father seemed to remember something and slapped Tang Jing on the head again: "I was talking about your sister before, look at you, you fight like a mad dog, you have learned everything in the dog's belly before .”
Everyone burst into laughter instantly. Now that they were exposed anyway, they no longer had to be careful.
While Tang Ran and the others were making preparations in full swing, the two people who returned also distributed supplies to everyone and returned home.
One of them was the father of the crying little girl, named Liu Qingshui.
Liu Qingshui served as a soldier for two years when he was young, and he was able to successfully escape with his two skills.
Seeing her daughter devouring the food, Liu Qingshui suddenly felt that the trip out was worth it, and even the wounds on her body no longer hurt much.
Seeing his wife bandaging herself with medicated oil with red eyes, Liu Qingshui felt a little sour in her heart: "It's too dangerous outside. In addition to the black and heart-eating monster, there are also many mutated animals, each of which is more ferocious than It was nearly two or three times bigger before. I have no ability, and we may still starve in the future."
His wife Xu Fang choked up and said, "I don't blame you, it's just that the world is so unhuman. It was obvious that everything was going well, so why did it suddenly..."
As he said that, Xu Fang became serious: "Let's save some food. The country hasn't given up on us yet, and we will always wait until the day of rescue. But today I heard that someone went to see it, and the household on the top floor of the seventh building has not been moved at all. The whole house is full of food, and now everyone is thinking about it, saying that each family will send one person to negotiate. Look at our family..."
Before Xu Fang finished speaking, Liu Qingshui understood. He felt that it was difficult to find supplies and was focusing on others.
"We still have food at home, so don't participate for the time being. It's not easy for everyone these days."
Xu Fang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "I think so too."
Liu Qingshui didn't intend to get involved in this matter, but others didn't think so, especially the families whose husbands and sons had died, and they even held grudges against Tang Ran and the others.
If they had distributed the supplies earlier, no one would have died. This is really selfish. Shouldn't we help each other in such difficult times?
Building 7, 33-1, had a room full of supplies, and the news flew throughout the entire community in the darkness as if it had wings.
The people in the desperate situation could no longer care about the state's rescue. They only knew that they were about to starve to death and freeze to death.
Tang Ran, who smelled the danger, had been training with Tang Jing and Zhou Xiaoya for the past few days. They knew in their hearts that now was just the calm before the storm, and maybe things would change soon.
"Come again!" Tang Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Tang Jing and Zhou Xiaoya who were lying on the ground.
Tang Jing, a stupid boy, couldn't pass the ten moves after not practicing for a while. Thinking of Zhou Xiaoya's future powers, Tang Ran could only be cruel and apologize silently in his heart.
"Sister, let's take a rest. I really can't do it anymore. You've beaten me into a pig's head." Tang Jing was about to cry, lying on the ground unwilling to move.
Zhou Xiaoya stood up silently, but her expression was miserable and her eyes were slightly red. She probably cried after being beaten.
Looking at Tang Jing lying on the ground, Tang Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I'll call dad." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.
Upon hearing this, Tang Jing got up from the ground and stepped forward to hold Tang Ran's arm: "No, don't go, it's been more than two hours, I just want to take a rest, dear sister, please!" "
"You..." Tang Ran was about to speak, but he keenly heard the movement outside the fire door. He immediately pricked up his ears and made a silent gesture.
The sound of stepping footsteps came, which was a bit noisy. I thought there must be a lot of people coming.
Tang Ran looked nervous and quickly gestured to Zhou Xiaoya to call someone. Tang Jing also suppressed a smile and listened to the movement outside the door with bated breath.
"Dong dong dong——" A knock on the door came, echoing in the silent corridor.
"Old Tang, open the door! I am Xiong Yuren! I know you are still living here, open the door for me."
