Chapter 245: Distributing Water



The building manager nodded eagerly and handed Yao Ran an empty bucket. She climbed into the truck's compartment, positioned herself to block the others' view, and discreetly took a measuring cup from her space.

She opened the lid of a plastic drum and began filling the bucket with water, scooping five times before handing the full bucket back to the building manager.

"Please sign here." Yao Ran said, pointing at his name on the list, and handed him the pen.

After signing the list, the building manager hurriedly left with his water. Seeing this scene, the other survivors watched Yao Ran eagerly.

She calmly looked down at the notebook and called out, "Grandma Hu."

An elderly woman in her sixties raised her hand excitedly and shouted hoarsely, "Here, here. I'm here!"

Yao Ran looked at the thin Grandma Hu and said, "I will give you three liters of water."

"Yes, yes." Grandma Hu said quickly, handing over her empty bottle and waiting eagerly as Yao Ran filled it.

Seeing how busy she was, Long Yu locked the car door and suggested, "Ran Ran, I will handle the water while you read the names."

Grateful for the help and eager to finish quickly, Yao Ran agreed. "Alright."

With Long Yu's assistance, they quickly distributed the water. After they finished with the last person on the list, Yao Ran put away her notebook and pen while Long Yu moved two large bottles of water down.

Noticing they were moving down the remaining water, some survivors who hadn't exchanged with Yao Ran became anxious. One of them approached her as she moved the water containers.

Eyeing the water inside the plastic bottles with desperation, the survivor swallowed dryly and asked, "Miss, can I buy some water from you?"

Yao Ran thought for a moment and replied, "Since there is nobody around, I will put the large bottles, buckets, and drums into my space. We can just transport the smaller ones to the 20th floor. This way, it will save us a lot of time and effort."

Long Yu scanned the surroundings and nodded only after confirming that they were alone. Yao Ran then waved her hand, sending the large buckets, bottles, and drums into her space.

Seeing there were still many bottles, drums, and buckets to transport, Long Yu picked up two big water bottles and said, "I will go up first. Be careful."

"I know." After Long Yu went upstairs, Yao Ran took out a gun from her space and sat in the compartment.

When Long Yu reached the 19th floor, he saw Grandma Quan and Grandpa Quan pacing back and forth in the corridor. He nodded at them and asked, "Grandma Quan, Grandpa Quan, what are you two doing out here?"

Grandpa Quan smiled and replied, "We are just getting some exercise. Yuanwei said it was dangerous outside, so he only allowed us to walk in the corridor. We are bored staying at home every day, so we can only go out and walk for a while to relieve our boredom."

Long Yu nodded and asked, "Where is Brother Quan?"

Grandma Quan responded, "He went out to find water with A Yun and A Hao."

Long Yu thought for a moment and said, "Ran Ran and I just returned with a lot of water. If you two need water, you can exchange food or gasoline for some with us."

Hearing this, Grandpa Quan and Grandma Quan were overjoyed.

Every day, their grandson ventured out with the Sima brothers, but they usually only returned with some metal scraps. Occasionally, they could find some food from the ruins, but it had been over a week since they brought any water back.

Grandpa Quan nodded at Long Yu and said, "We will see what we can find to exchange for

water."

"Alright. Just come up to the 20th floor when you want to make the exchange." After saying that, Long Yu headed upstairs.
