Chapter 51: Human Heart
Juncheng City is located in the south. Despite the rapid industrial development in the past decade, there are still many mulberry fish ponds and crisscrossed waterways in the suburbs. Some of the locals own wooden boats, and they form a group with other people for safety.
Some people rowed wooden boats into the Ling Yuan apartment complex in search of their family members or relatives. Motorboats and inflatable boats are available, but not many people have them.
After all, Juncheng City is not a coastal city like Haicheng City. Who would buy motorboats or inflatable boats for no reason?
Yao Ran stood on the balcony observing the situation in the community while waiting for Long Yu and the others to come back. About half an hour later, she saw Long Yu driving his motorboat, which was full of supplies, toward Building 3.
Just as she was about to go downstairs, Yao Ran saw several men suddenly swam out of Building 2 and Building 4 and headed straight for the motorboat. Although their movements were fast, Long Yu and others were all not vegetarians.
Long Yu drove the motorboat calmly while Shi Xuan, Huang Qian, and Jia Xiang drew their military knives and slashed at those people. Before those men could reach the edge of the motorboat, they were kicked back into the water. Soon, the water turned red, and the men never surfaced again.
Seeing more and more people coming out and swimming towards Long Yu and others, Yao Ran took out the nail gun and left her apartment. As soon as she locked the door, she saw Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi coming out of Unit 2001.
The three of them exchanged glances in silence. Huang Zhihui clenched the kitchen knife in her hand and said, "Sister Yao, we will go with you."
They all know how to share weal and woe. Although Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi only stayed in Unit 2001 for one day, they had already spent countless sleepless and dangerous nights outside.
Based on how much supplies her elder brother and the others brought back, she and Deng Qiqi knew that everyone would target the 20th floor.
Last night, the five of them had discussed it and decided to trust Long Yu's judgment and accept Yao Ran into their team. They should help each other and survive together.
Looking at the two young women with firm eyes, Yao Ran did not refuse and nodded, "Let's go."
After that, the three of them hurriedly went downstairs. The water had reached the fourth floor, and many people gathered in the stairwell, eager to know what was going on outside.
Seeing Long Yu's motorboat approaching, especially since the motorboat was carrying valuable supplies that could help people survive, the onlookers' eyes were full of resentment, jealousy, anger, and even hatred. Some people even showed gloating expressions when they saw Long Yu and others being robbed.
That's how humans' hearts are. They care more about inequality than scarcity.
Everyone is suffering from the natural disasters. Why should you live a life of luxury while others starve to death?
They refused to help and wanted to wait for Long Yu and others to come closer before taking away the supplies directly.
Seeing the expressions of these people, Yao Ran's eyes turned cold. Holding a nail gun in one hand, she smiled and asked, "What are you looking at? Is there anything fun to watch out there?"
As soon as her sweet and clear voice sounded, the people packed in the stairwell and corridor froze. When they turned around, they saw Yao Ran looking at them coldly with a slight smile on her lips.
Her sweet smile gives people the illusion that she is a weak woman, but everyone in Building 3 knows that she is far from weak. In an instant, the bloody faces of Sun Zhouping and others appeared in their minds.
Some people who didn't know about the 20th floor residents' notoriety reputation looked at the three young women and licked their lips with lust clear in their eyes.
One of them eagerly rubbed his hands, looked at Yao Ran, and said, "Beauty, why don't you come and have fun with us? You see, it's raining and the weather is very cold. We should keep each other warm, right?"
Hearing what he said, his brothers laughed and looked at Yao Ran, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi greedily. They looked at the three of them as if they were goods for anyone to pick and choose.
Watching this scene, other residents of Building 3 looked away and lit candles in their hearts for these courageous people.
Yao Ran glanced at the man and his brothers, tilted her head slightly, and said, "I have never seen you guys before. Are all of you new residents in Building 3?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Thinking that Yao Ran had agreed to sleep with him, the man looked at her body unscrupulously and said proudly, "I have a few relatives living here, so I came over to take a look. This is the first time we have met, so we should spend some time together and take our time to get to know each other."
Yao Ran nodded, "You are right. We should really spend some time getting to get to know each other."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi's expressions darkened. They never expected that the person who could make Long Yu smile would turn out to be a cheap
woman.
Not knowing what they were thinking, Yao Ran smiled at the man and raised the nail gun. Before the man and his brothers could react, Yao Ran had already shot them in the thigh.
"Ah!"
"Ouch!"
In just a few seconds, a group of grown men fell to the ground, holding their bleeding thighs. Blood soon stained the floor red, and the crowd quickly moved away from them.
Yao Ran lowered the nail gun and asked, "Now, we should be considered acquainted, right?"
