Chapter 324
“They’re really gone p>
“This bunch is really stupid. They think they can rely on those three wooden rafts to paddle over thirty kilometers to find Yangshan p>
“Heh, with so many mutant creatures in the water, how lucky do they have to be to reach Yangshan p>
In building 76, among the people who stayed behind, some were making sarcastic and bitter remarks.
However, there were also people speaking well of Liang Yuan and the others.
“Why don’t you say these things to their faces? Talking behind their backs, what kind of people are you p>
“Exactly, Mr. Liang has been good to us. He provided us with so much food all these days. He didn’t have any left for himself and had to go find a way out. You don’t dare go out but just sit here talking crap, are you even human p>
Another group immediately retorted, “Bullshit, that food in his hands was originally ours, taken by Liu Erlong and then seized by him. He should’ve returned it to us a long time ago p>
“Yeah, you’re the lowlifes. Did he give us food for free? He made us catch fish for him, didn’t he?” Thɪs chapter is updated by ~net
“Exactly, no matter how you put it, he wronged us p>
“Wait, if he took so many fish from us, can those three small rafts carry it all away p>
“Could he have food hidden at his place p>
Everyone suddenly stopped talking and looked at each other.
It’s unclear who moved first, but soon everyone rushed upstairs.
“Don’t push, don’t push p>
“Damn it, move p>
“Get out of the way p>
In an instant, building 76 became chaotic.
Some older people who didn’t join Liang Yuan and the others to find a way out were filled with fear watching the scene.
It felt like the days when they were under the control of Liu Erlong, Wang Ze, and their gang.
At that moment, many people suddenly felt regret.
Had they known, why didn’t they go with Mr. Liang and the others?
In room 3212 of building 87, Leng Yuehua, who was eating fish, suddenly heard the commotion outside.
Her brow furrowed slightly, and she looked at Liu Sisi next to her.
“Sisi, what’s going on outside p>
With a puzzled expression, Liu Sisi said, “I’ll go check p>
She quickly walked to the door and opened it to take a look.
She saw many people gathered in the corridor.
She immediately spotted the tall Hei Lan.
She shouted, “Hei Lan, what’s happening p>
Hei Lan turned and shouted back, “There’s a boat p>
Liu Sisi was suddenly taken aback.
A boat?
Could it be a rescue?
Her heart started pounding, and she quickly ran to the corridor’s edge to look out into the rain.
Through the wind and rain, the floodwaters stretched endlessly.
Buildings stood in the water, looking like electric poles thrust into the ocean from afar.
Among the buildings, three rafts were tied together, with vague silhouettes moving on them.
Triangle sails stood on the rafts, billowing in the gale.
The three rafts broke through the floodwaters heading northwest.
“That’s not a boat, it’s a raft p>
With a look of surprise, Liu Sisi glanced at Hei Lan and asked, “Where did those rafts come from p>
Hei Lan shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. They were already there when I arrived p>
“Sister Ya saw them first.” She pointed to Lin Ya beside her.
Lin Ya looked at the rafts, her expression thoughtful.
Liu Sisi quickly shouted, “Sister Ya, where did those rafts come from p>
Lin Ya shook her head, “They came from building 76. It seems they were made by the residents there p>
She turned and walked towards Liu Sisi, “Is Yuehua up? I’d like to talk to her p>
Liu Sisi quickly said, “Yes, she’s up and eating. I’ll take you to her p>
Lin Ya nodded and followed Liu Sisi into room 3212.
Leng Yuehua, who was eating, paused in surprise when she heard people from building 76 had made rafts to leave.
“Making rafts to leave the building? Are they crazy? Don’t they know how terrifying the mutant beasts underwater are p>
“Leaving the building now is a death wish p>
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but agree, “Yeah, the mutant fish underwater aren’t going to let them leave easily p>
Lin Ya shook her head and said seriously, “Yuehua, Sisi, I think their courage is something we should admire p>
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about leaving for a while. We can’t hide in this building forever p>
“Someday we’ll run out of food. We can’t survive only on the mutant fish in the water p>
“And with this building soaked in water long-term, who knows when it might collapse p>
“The mutant fish are growing in number and size, mutating more and more. Someday they could easily smash this building. Where will we hide then p>
“And the heavy rain shows no sign of stopping. Who knows if the flood will eventually submerge the building. We really need to consider our options p>
Lin Ya spoke her thoughts in one breath, having been pondering this issue for a while.
The building isn’t absolutely safe; everyone knows this, but no one has faced it.
The departure of those three rafts today had spurred her.
Leng Yuehua put down her chopsticks, looked at Lin Ya, and said, “Sister Ya, I’ve thought about this too, but with the flood everywhere, where can we go that’s safe p>
“To the mountains! Higher ground is the only place we can survive p>
“Linjiang City is a hilly area, where are we going to find any high mountains?” Liu Sisi couldn’t help but ask.
