134: The little bastard who betrayed his master!

Jiang Fei picked up the vest in confusion, only to realize there was something underneath: Lu Yu's walkie-talkie.

It had the Patrol Team's emblem on it, which was easy to recognize.

His teammate couldn't have left his things at her house, so who could it be… Could it be Big Yellow?!

Jiang Fei tentatively asked, "Did you carry this over?"

Big Yellow instantly stood up, proudly raising his head, a look on his face that said, "That's right! It was me! Hurry and praise me!"

Jiang Fei: "...What else did you carry over?"

Thinking Jiang Fei was going to give him fish paste based on the quantity, Big Yellow darted off the bed.

Soon, he brought back a TV remote control, a ballpoint pen, a white short-sleeved shirt, tissues, underwear, and a charger cable.

Jiang Fei was dumbfounded and quickly checked her own clothes to see if anything was missing.

What if Big Yellow carried her personal small clothes to the next door... She dared not imagine the consequences!

Fortunately, Big Yellow only carried Lu Yu's things and hadn't touched her clothes.

Finding a bag, Jiang Fei put Lu Yu's things inside.

When it came to the underwear, a rare blush appeared on her small face.

Although the underwear was new and still had its tag, it still felt strange... She quickly put it into the bag, and then Jiang Fei was hugged by Big Yellow's arm.

"Meow meow meow!"

Where's my fish paste!

These were all things His owner wouldn't let him touch, so they must be good stuff!

With so many, he should at least get one serving of fish paste!

"I'll find your owner to teach you a lesson," Jiang Fei grabbed Big Yellow by the scruff of his neck, lifted him, and, carrying the bag in her other hand, went to knock on the door of 301 next door.

"It's me, Jiang Fei."

The door opened quickly.

Lu Yu was wearing a gray short pajama set, his hair dripping wet, evidently having just showered.

"I'm here to give you your things; these were all carried over by Big Yellow."

The white short-sleeved shirt was on top, so Lu Yu didn't see the items underneath; he paused for a moment before saying, "I thought I had misremembered and hadn't brought my change of clothes back, but it turns out it was carried away by him."

"You deal with him."

Jiang Fei handed the bag and Big Yellow to Lu Yu, then returned to 302.

To avoid awkwardness for both of them if the clothes inside were taken out.

Lu Yu shut Big Yellow in the cat villa: "You're not allowed to go next door again, and no canned food or snacks either."

Big Yellow immediately clawed at the door in protest: "Meow meow! Meow meow meow!"

"Cat food, half."

As soon as these words were spoken, Big Yellow immediately quieted down, blinking innocently at Lu Yu.

Owner, don't be so heartless, meow!

Ignoring Big Yellow's attempt at cuteness, Lu Yu directly took out the items from the bag and put them back in their places.

When he took out a pair of underwear, Lu Yu froze, his neck and ears visibly turning red.

No wonder the neighbor left right after delivering it... This was too embarrassing.

Lu Yu picked up the walkie-talkie, wanting to contact Jiang Fei to apologize, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

He couldn't exactly say, "I'm sorry, my cat was disobedient and carried my underwear to your house," could he?

Lu Yu irritably ran his hand through his hair, deciding never to let Big Yellow out again.

That little rascal who causes trouble for his owner!

Meanwhile, Jiang Fei in 302 temporarily locked the small cat flap in the living room.

She was afraid Big Yellow would bring another one.

Both of them tacitly avoided mentioning the underwear incident.

Lu Yu continued to help out at the store as usual, and Jiang Fei still planted medicinal herbs during the day and went to the branch store for dinner in the evening.

Ling Zhaorui stayed home, focused on raising his chicks, but Xiao Chuxia, having nothing to do and feeling bored, also went to work at the store with Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan.

In just three days, the temperature rose to 54℃.

People suffering from heatstroke and collapsing were visible everywhere on the roadside; some, due to delayed treatment, lay in the high temperature for too long, developing into heatstroke, leading to multiple organ failure and instant death.

Some elderly people, unable to withstand the extreme heat and unwilling to use cooling machines, were suffocated to death in their homes.

Hundreds of people died at the Safety Shelter every day.

A notice was issued from above, stating that all places, except for essential shift workers in important units, must close and take a holiday.

As Lu Yu said, Jiang Fei, the temporary worker, was pulled by Xu Qianyao to do insulation work for every household.

In addition to special insulation film, the authorities also prepared insulation boards.

The insulation film was applied to windows, and the insulation boards were installed on the outside of walls; two layers of protection could completely block strong ultraviolet rays and high temperatures.

The insulation boards were not cut; they were large pieces that could cover three floors of a unit building.

Xu Qianyao drove a crane to lift the insulation film and insulation boards; Jiang Fei, with her rock-climbing experience, and several other team members put on safety ropes and slid down from the rooftop of the building, responsible for installation.

Even working at night, the weather was so hot that people were prone to heatstroke.

The Rescue Team took heat-relief medicine almost every hour on average.

After installing one unit building, Jiang Fei descended to the ground, her clothes looking as if they had just been washed; without even wringing them, sweat would pour off her.

Some team members were already on the ground, retching.

Xu Qianyao: "Those feeling unwell, get in the car and rest for a while; the rest of you, rehydrate and go to the next building."

Even though Xu Qianyao spoke, no one went to rest in the car.

The sooner they finished the installation, the fewer people would die from the high temperature.

Their duty was to protect the country and protect the survivors.

At this moment, someone ran out of the unit building, followed by four men.

"We used to be high-altitude workers; we can help you with the installation."

"Comrade, your face is pale from vomiting; go find a cool place to rest, I'll help you."

"If you lose your life, you lose everything; don't push yourself, we're here."

More and more people came down.

Those who couldn't operate the crane or install helped by holding flashlights and kerosene lamps below, illuminating the work for those above.

At this moment, the power of the government and the people converged.

Xu Qianyao's eyes reddened unconsciously as he returned to the crane to work.

Jiang Fei put on her safety rope again and went to the new unit building to install insulation boards, feeling a long-lost sense of unity, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

As long as everyone was together, how could they not make it to the end of the apocalypse?

—

With the help of residents, the Rescue Team led by Xu Qianyao quickly completed their mission and gave the team members a holiday.

Xu Qianyao, however, had to go to other places to continue working.

Before leaving, he found Jiang Fei: "I won't be home for a while; please help me check on my Grandma Xu when you have time."

"This is my spare house key; if Grandma Xu has any issues, contact me on the walkie-talkie."

He was afraid that Grandma Xu would have an accident like those other elderly people.

But he had his responsibilities and couldn't stay by Grandma Xu's side.

Jiang Fei put away the key: "I'm going to the store in a bit; when I get back, I'll pick up Grandma Xu to stay at my place for a few days; it'll be easier to take care of her."

Seeing Xu Qianyao about to bow to her, Jiang Fei quickly reached out and supported him: "Friends don't need to be so polite."

"Okay." Xu Qianyao swallowed his words of thanks, turned, and left, keeping this favor in his heart.

Finding an empty spot, Jiang Fei took out an old truck, loaded it with supplies, and was about to get in when she suddenly felt something sticky under her feet.
