"Xixi!" Meng Lu was anxious and ran two steps to catch up with her, "You Xi! Wait for me!"

"What's going on?" You Xi stopped.

"I haven't seen you these past few days, are you still angry with me?"

You Xi really doesn't like this roundabout way of speaking: "I'm asking you, what do you want from me?"

Meng Lu looked at her without saying a word. Her attention was drawn to the clothes on the other person's body. The black down jacket just reached her thighs. It looked thin and soft. It also had a furry hood behind the collar. It was definitely very comfortable to wear.

There is no winter on L Island, so there is no material with strong cold resistance like down jackets. The rescue team only distributes warm clothes such as blankets and fleece jackets. Even if you wear multiple layers and wrap yourself in blankets, it will still be cold. What’s more, the current situation is basically

It is impossible to give out several fleece jackets to one person.

Most of the survivors who stayed in the Wanghaishan Hotel when the tsunami hit had kept the cold-weather clothes they wore from their own countries. Such down jackets were not very valuable.

Meng Lu remembered that she also had a similar light down jacket in her box, because it was winter in Beijing when they set out. After arriving in Haiguo, she couldn't wait to take off her bloated winter coat and stuff it into the bottom of the box. She was so rich at that time

Disgusted, I miss that dress so much now.

They were all in a tour group, so why was Youxi so lucky? Suddenly, a strange thought arose in Meng Lu's heart, which was absurd and nonsensical.

Meng Lu was startled and asked directly: "Did you know that there would be a tsunami early on?"

"What are you talking about?" You Xi's expression did not change at all.

Meng Lu looked at You Xi. There was doubt and confusion in the other person's eyes, but there was no guilt or panic.

Yes, how is this possible?

She remembered her purpose of calling You Xi, and suppressed the anger and absurd thoughts in her heart due to the other party's cold attitude: "You saw what happened just now, Fang Zichen is a central air-conditioning scumbag, I don't want to

Are you living with these two people again? Are you staying in Shanbei? I heard that there are all B&Bs there. Although the conditions are not as good as here, there are many empty rooms. I want to live there with you. "

"This is your business, you don't need to discuss it with me."

"You Xi! Why are you like this..."

She lowered her raised voice again, and her tone became softer, "Xixi, we are friends. In times of crisis, we need to take care of each other even more. You have to spend your own money to live in a B&B. You also know that all my belongings are there."

It was lost in the tsunami. I just want to ask you to borrow some money or share a room with you. And..."

She said, approaching her and lowering her voice, "I have a lot of food and drink here, I can take everything away..."

Meng Lu's words were very clear. She had no money, but wanted to live in a B&B area, so she needed You Xi's help, but her help was not in vain. She could contribute supplies and was prepared to take away all the supplies from the three people.

Anyway, Fang Zichen took people to the opposite side now, and there was no one in the room.

"If you have a lot of supplies, it's easy to live in a B&B area. Some places there no longer charge fees, so you can use supplies in lieu of room fees."

In You Xi's view, Meng Lu doesn't need her help at all, "I still have something to do, and you probably don't have much time, so don't waste each other's time."

After saying that, she walked around the other party through the lobby and towards the hotel annex building.

Only then did Meng Lu realize that the friends who used to be extremely coaxable and obedient to her were long gone. The current You Xi was cold and distant, and she could not coax him with just a few words.

"Forget it!" She gritted her teeth, turned around and ran towards the safe passage of the main building.

She didn't have much time. The green tea bitch must have nothing serious to do. She would probably come back from the other side in a while. She had to go back to the room to pack her things and leave early.

You Xi has seen the registration cards that Yuan Qi and the others received, so he knows their floors and room numbers.

The annex building is much shorter than the main building. There are few family suites in this building. Most of them are single and double rooms, which are provided for backpackers who like to travel alone.

Because the room is small, most of the survivors arranged here are in a family unit, and no stranger survivors are arranged to live together. This makes the atmosphere and environment here much better and more harmonious than in the main building.

However, there are occasionally exceptions.

As soon as You Xi stepped onto the corridor on the fifth floor, she heard an exclamation. A dark-skinned man ran towards the stairs quickly. Someone stopped him halfway, but he was frightened by the knife he swung. The man kicked him away and hugged him.

The big bag in my arms continued to run.

"Find a way to stop him!"

"Be careful! He has a knife!"

…

The man waved the knife with a ferocious expression: "Get out of here!"

Several voices came at the same time, including the cry of a child.

You Xi recognized the familiar voice inside. She stepped aside half a step. With a thought, a three-section stick slipped out from the sleeve of her down jacket. She waved her hand and the three-section metal stick was fully opened. Her face was expressionless.

Swing it at the opponent's face.

There was a heavy blow, and the other party saw that she had given up half a step. He did not expect that she would come in midway, and was caught off guard. Her strength combined with his momentum, and a deep slash was suddenly thrown out on her face.

He wailed and his steps were chaotic. You Xi took advantage of the opponent's body to sway and struck the opponent's arm with a stick again.

This time, the opponent's hand shook and the big bag in his arms fell to the ground. He subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but You Xi took advantage of the situation and turned his arm over, stepping hard on his wrist.

You Xi stretched out her hand to support Yuan Ning, who was on the verge of collapsing due to her injuries.

"Thank you." The other party's lips turned white, but he gave her a helpless smile, "I owe you again."

A moment later, in the room of Yuan Qi and the others, Lin Wu, who had been notified, finished treating Yuan Ning's abdominal injury and put the gauze and tools one by one into the medical kit. "It's only been three days, and the wound can't heal so quickly. Next time...

If you show off again, find someone else to show you."

"Thank you." Yuan Ning pulled up her clothes and nodded towards him, "Okay, I understand. I will find another doctor then."

Lin Wu laughed angrily at her, and turned around to see You Xi: "Thank you so much for today. The people from the rescue team said that he was a habitual criminal. After the tsunami broke out, everyone was in chaos. There were many criminals running away from the detention centers of two police stations.

Because I had identity issues, I didn’t register at the information office. There have been several thefts in hotels and hotels in the past three days, and the person you just caught was one of them."

Nowadays, there are too many people on the mountain and the affairs are complicated. After the power limit was imposed, the monitoring was stopped. The original electronic door of the room could not be locked. The survivors themselves changed it to various types of key door locks, latch locks, or not locked at all.

It is inevitable that some people will fish in troubled waters.

Most of the annex buildings of this hotel are family units, with more women and children and fewer men. Sometimes when collecting supplies, two adults would go down together, leaving only one child in the room to watch over them. After some inspection, they were targeted.

here.

Lin Wu stayed in the room for a while, and naturally exchanged some information with You Xi. He first told her about various situations in the hotel area, and finally asked her about the situation in the B&B area.

When You Xi said that, he saw Lin Wu and Yuan Ning's thoughtful expressions and had a premonition.

Sure enough, after Lin Wu left, Yuan Ning immediately proposed to move his accommodation.

"We all have money and supplies."

Yuan Ning looked at Yuan Qi and said, "My sister is a conservative person. She brought a lot of cash with her and didn't unzip it when she was packing her backpack. There are more and more people here, coupled with the loss of contact with the outside world and the sudden drop in temperature, sooner or later there will be chaos.

.

The members of the rescue team are all the surviving police officers on the island and government personnel. They have few people and no weapons at hand, but they oversee all the supplies on the island. Once chaos breaks out, it will be difficult to control the situation."

Yuan Qi was also shocked by what happened today. She went downstairs to get supplies today. Yuan Ning heard strange noises next door and went over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the fifteen or six-year-old boy was gagged and his hands were tied.

Throw it in the corner of the room, where a strange man is rummaging through their supplies.

The person who lives in this room went to the supermarket with them to pick up groceries before. We all know each other, and they are placed next door. We usually look after each other for small things, but we didn't expect to encounter this scene.

Yuan Ning's wounds were not healed yet, and the other party was threatening her with a boy, so she was very passive and let the other party run away. Fortunately, You Xi appeared.

The boy was also scratched on his arm and bled a lot. Fortunately, nothing serious happened and nothing was lost. But Yuan Qi looked at the other person and thought of her own son. Yuanyuan was only three and a half years old. If he encountered this

What to do in this situation.

Although the B&B area is not necessarily very safe, there are few people there. As long as Yuan Ning is given a chance to recuperate, when her wound is healed, she will no longer have to be as passive as she is now.

Finally, You Xi took Yuan Qi and the others back to the B&B area.

When they left, the woman from the family of three next door heard the noise and came out, but she only stuck her head out, looked at them for a moment, asked where they were going, and then retreated back into the room without even saying thank you, as if it was for her son.

The injured and bleeding arm was blamed on her failure to protect others.

Yuan Ning sneered, Yuan Qi sighed, patted her sister on the shoulder, picked up her luggage bag, and followed You Xi out of the annex building.

On the basis of the original room price, Yuan Ning and the others exchanged for the price of a five-pound bag of rice, a bag of ham, five packs of instant noodles and ten potatoes for the right to stay in a family suite.

When You Xi accompanied them to act as translator, the boss and his wife who were sitting in the room were holding a broken radio that they got from nowhere and adjusting the station. She also listened to it for a few times. The situation outside was still not good. The situation around Haiguo was not good.

The island countries and even the mainland areas further away were affected by the tsunami.

The boss and his wife were very worried after hearing this, so in addition to money, they also asked for food. For the price of the original room price for one day plus an appropriate amount of food, they could stay in the suite forever.

Yuan Ning thought this was more cost-effective, so she took out her mobile phone and recorded the terms of the price agreement between the other party and herself, and then moved in.

This room is just downstairs from Yuan Ning, but it faces south instead of north. It has no balcony and has two windows.

Looking north, there is still a black ocean with floating construction debris and corpses. Yuan Qi's mental endurance is not that good. In addition to the round room, it is better to have a room facing south.

The location of this B&B is really not very good. So far, the only guests are You Xi who lives in a north-facing room on the fifth floor, four young women from Beijing who live in a south-facing family suite on the second floor, and Yuan Qi’s family who lives on the fourth floor.

But Yuan Ning is very satisfied. All the conditions here meet her requirements. Yuan Qi is even more satisfied because there is a public kitchen on the first floor of the B&B, which has kitchen utensils, dishes, chopsticks, and a stove for burning firewood.

When she was a child, she lived in a rural area, and things that were difficult for others were a piece of cake for her.

So at noon that day, when You Xi looked at the half-eaten hotpot on the shelf in the Star House warehouse, the bacon, carrot and egg fried rice made the day before yesterday, the soft and fragrant cheese pizza next to it, and the crispy and soft fried chicken, just

Freshly cooked Northeastern cuisine, spicy Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, fresh and exquisite sushi, various braised dishes, noodle soups, wontons, vermicelli soup, spicy rice noodles, fried dumplings...etc., various takeaways that I haven't even started eating yet.
