Chapter 95: Residents Returning From Rescue Centers
After hearing Shi Xuan's answer, Long Yu's eyes flickered for a second. He lowered his eyes and hid his emotions from his friends.
Jia Xiang looked at Long Yu and asked, "Captain, will you inform Commander Xu about our choice?"
Long Yu looked at her and said, "Yes. We need to let him know our decisions so he won't pin his hopes on us and can find others to help him."
After discussing for a while, Long Yu returned to his apartment and wrote a letter to Xu Qipeng. He sealed the letter, put on his raincoat, and took off on his motorboat.
In the evening, as soon as Yao Ran finished her daily training, there was a loud noise downstairs. Just as she was about to go and take a look, the sound got louder and louder.
After coming out of the apartment, she saw Huang Zhihui leaning against the metal door. Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Zhihui, what are you doing there?"
Huang Zhihui turned around and saw her. She waved to Yao Ran and smiled, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, are you also coming out because of the commotion?"
Yao Ran nodded and walked to her. The two of them leaned against the metal door, listening to the conversation downstairs.
It appears that people are returning from rescue centers. These people wanted to camp on the corridor, but the original residents on the high floors disagreed.
As floodwaters continue to rise, rescue centers are becoming more crowded day after day. People don't eat well or sleep well and are very tired because they need to be constantly on guard against theft. No one can endure such a tiring life for a long time.
After considering the pros and cons, these people decided to return home. Living in the corridor is several times better than living in a small place in a rescue center where they can't even stretch their legs while sleeping.
Yao Ran smiled at her and calmly said, "We can just refuse them."
As she spoke, a desperate voice came from the other side of the metal door. Although they knew that the people living on the 20th floor were ruthless, they could only grit their teeth and try their luck.
The man leading the group looked at his thin wife and son. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he clenched his hands and kneeled decisively on the cold floor.
He banged his head on the floor and sincerely said, "Please let us stay by the rooftop door. We promise not to disturb you."
When the others saw him kneeling on the ground, they quickly knelt down and begged.
"Please give us a way to survive."
"We promise not to cause trouble or disturb anyone living on the 19th and 20th floors."
Yao Ran wouldn't let them live on the 19th or 20th floor. These people had just returned from a rescue center, and no one knew what they had gone through there. She doesn't want to test people's hearts, nor does she want to invite wolves into her home.
Yao Ran looked at the people kneeling outside and said calmly, "It's useless for you to beg me."
As soon as she finished speaking, a sarcastic female voice suddenly sounded from the corridor, "How could it be useless?"
When Yao Ran heard the familiar and annoying voice, she looked toward the corridor on the 18th floor and saw the middle-aged woman living in unit 1803.
The woman put her hands on her hips and said, "All of you just came back, so you may not know this. This morning, the soldiers came to distribute supplies to us. Each household registration can only receive one pack of supplies."
