The reason is simply that the men in their family did not come back with the team, but the chairman seems 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 of the committee 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 those people headed by the Chairman brought back the most things, a total of 7
Something like a rubber boat.
Qian Yan raised her eyebrows, this chairman is quite capable.
"Everyone, listen! We all brought these supplies together! The supplies we bring back will be distributed uniformly in the end! As long as they are in our building committee, everyone will have a share!"
The chairman 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 them. 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. Anyway, it seems that no one is coming back alone.
This is how people are. When there is no profit value, it is often difficult to move forward on your own. 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 seems that they chose 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 from 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 queue.
One of the women was obviously a little flustered.
"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 don'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 carry me back."
"You just want to steal the supplies! You must hand over one-third of these things!"
But girls are obviously not the ones to let them be angry.
"I told you, I'm just a drop-in. I only brought back two bags of noodles from here, and most of them belong to them."
"You girl has a bad conscience! You want the benefits of both sides! Why are they 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 something unclear about you?
relationship!"
"That's right!"
"you"
"Why are you talking nonsense? Why are you like this?"
"Damn it! I'm glad I didn't join this committee of yours. Why? Do you still want to eat people? Go out and get it yourself if you can! You're the only one who has a mouth, right! Dog barks"
The two young men 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 have something to do with each other."
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 two brothers. If you have the ability, come and grab it. I can punch both of you, believe it or not!"
Seeing that both sides were about to start a fight, the Chairman finally showed up.
"Don't make any noise, what's going on?"
"Chairman, that's her! She wants to monopolize our public food!"
"She wants to keep it 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."
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 exploded, pointing their fingers 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? What happened to them?"
"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.
You deserve it! Did she know that things were not that simple? So many people went out and 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. They just stood there and 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 pick them back in person. 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 could not hear clearly what was said. She could only vaguely hear crying, shouting, noise, and the sound of fists and feet mixed together. p>
"Pa!"
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 didn't say anything, just stood there and stared at Qian Yan silently. Qian Yan was stared at inexplicably.
"What are you looking at? Although I promised to take care of your food, I can't get out. Look at how much these two guys eat, 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 more 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.
Sometimes 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, which might allow him to survive in such weather
Asked again: "Gu Peihuai, with your special powers, can you go out in such weather?"
"Of course.
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 for a moment.
"Isn't it okay even if you have super powers?"
"Superpowers are, after all, abilities evolved by human beings 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 live. What about people like them who don’t have superpowers?
See 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?
Is Gu Peihuai worried about supplies? Qian Yan is a little confused. Although they went out together and brought back a lot of supplies, people have to eat. Knowing that they will be trapped here for such a long time, how can they not be completely worried?
Worried about the continued supply of supplies? Unless Gu Peihuai also has supplies like hers!
Thinking of this, Qian Yan couldn't help but sigh, how lucky this guy is, he has superpowers, wouldn't it be outrageous if he could have unlimited supplies?
But it turns out that God is fair. Gu Peihuai brought Qian Yan to the study room at home, and saw the guy playing with something on the bookshelf, and a ladder actually fell from the ceiling!
Qianyan froze on the spot and watched in disbelief what was happening.
But it wasn't until she followed Gu Peihuai all the way up that she was truly amazed.
The moment the light is turned on
This guy! No wonder he is so 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, was 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 room, the entire room is sealed, with many incubation boxes placed, in which vegetables and fruits of all sizes are cultivated, and lights are placed above them.
With these things, if they are properly preserved, 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 used to be the living room into a master control room. Many of the equipment inside were difficult for Qian Yan to see 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 will glow inside.
5 chips are neatly arranged.
It looks like a computer chip, but Qian Yan understands that what Gu Peihuai can save like this is 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 about the existence of nuclear batteries, but this technology was only used in the aviation field or diving technology, but she did not know about these technologies.
It has already reached this level of essence.
In the apocalypse, 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 support 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 that Gu Peihuai would give her this, or give her the whole box!
It would be a lie 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. Many things are 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 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 has 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 previous 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 accepted these chips because she needed to survive! She would not refuse anything that was beneficial to her!
"Gu Peihuai, why did you help 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?<
