255: Jiang Fei: Your father is here with me
Father Mo recalled carefully, "It should be called Honey."
Jiang Fei was a little surprised, "Old Mr. Mo knows this dog?"
"Yan Qiantong's dog is fierce and bites people, so most of the wealthy families in the base know Honey."
"Actually, it's quite pitiful." Father Mo looked at Little Black, who was frolicking in the distance, and continued,
"When the apocalypse first started, Honey was picked up by the Yan Family's bodyguards, but it wasn't taken care of; instead, it suffered abuse."
"Because Yan Qiantong wanted a fierce dog to protect her, if Honey didn't bite people or obey her commands, she would beat it to death."
"When it was injured, it would be sent to the Veterinary Hospital for treatment. Several times, Yan Qiantong even gave up on treatment, but fortunately, it had a strong will to live and managed to escape from the brink of death, surviving until now."
Su Liuyuan suddenly understood, "No wonder Little Black doesn't protect its owner."
"If I were Little Black, I'd dream of Yan Qiantong dying."
Han Yang, who loved dogs, said indignantly, "The day Yan Qiantong came to cause trouble, I should have beaten her up to vent Little Black's anger!"
"How could she bear to hit Little Black when it's so obedient!"
Hearing them constantly calling its name, Little Black wagged its tail and ran over.
It looked at Jiang Fei, then at Han Yang, and chose to go to the former's side.
The fierce woman is in charge here!
It can tell!
Little Black rubbed its head against Jiang Fei's hand, showing affection, but then it smelled a faint medicinal scent and couldn't help but circle her.
"Woof woof woof!"
Are you sick?
However, due to the language barrier, Jiang Fei thought Little Black was hungry and took a ham sausage from the shelf for it, "Sit still."
With ham sausage to eat, Little Black no longer cared about the medicinal scent and obediently complied.
Father Mo watched, dumbfounded.
"It really listens to you?"
Jiang Fei, "If it doesn't listen, it'll be stewed."
Father Mo, "..."
This girl is much fiercer than Yan Qiantong.
The walkie-talkie in Jiang Fei's pocket crackled at this moment.
"Sister Jiang Fei, are you safe now?"
Giving the remaining ham sausage to Han Yang to feed, Jiang Fei replied into the walkie-talkie, "Very safe, we're all at the small Supermarket."
"There will be another hot rain today, so don't go out."
Mo Yanan's voice had a hint of annoyance:
"If you see my father, remember to tell me; he's been missing for a day and a night."
Jiang Fei, "Your dad is with me."
Mo Yanan, "..."
"He came yesterday."
Mo Yanan on the other end of the walkie-talkie was silent for a moment.
"Please hand the walkie-talkie to my dad."
Jiang Fei handed the walkie-talkie to Father Mo opposite her.
"Dad, can you explain what's going on?"
Father Mo coughed guiltily, "I was afraid you'd know I came to see Miss Jiang, so yesterday I secretly left through the back door of the house without telling anyone."
"Later, when the hot rain came, I was so busy looking outside that I forgot to contact you, and I forgot to bring my walkie-talkie too."
What could Mo Yanan do when he couldn't scold his own father?
He just let out a long sigh.
"After the hot rain passes, I'll come pick you up."
Father Mo, "No need, by then I'll ask Miss Jiang to send me back. You stay at home, don't go out, it's not safe."
Jiang Fei's gaze was profound.
Was her life not a life?
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound.
Everyone looked outside through the doors and windows.
The hot rain poured down again.
The enveloping steam completely obscured everything.
Father Mo whispered to Mo Yanan, "Prepare more gold for me to pay for food and lodging."
He wouldn't be able to go home for a while.
—
The small Supermarket's lounge had four bunk beds, accommodating only 8 people.
Yao Jin, Niu Er, Su Liuyuan, Jiang Zhengkang, Jiang Xiaoshi, Han Yang, and Father Mo slept in the lounge.
Jiang Zhengkang and Jiang Xiaoshi squeezed together, freeing up one bunk bed.
It was moved to the storeroom for Jiang Fei and Cao Xiuhong to sleep on.
The hot rain fell intermittently, gradually decreasing from four times a day to just one.
The temperature of the rainwater also dropped.
There was basically no steam outside anymore, but for safety, Jiang Fei and the others still stayed obediently inside the Supermarket.
On the morning of the sixth day of being trapped.
The base's broadcast sounded.
"Good morning, residents. After expert Detection, there will be no more hot rain in the future."
"Due to the hot rain damaging power lines, the base has experienced a complete power outage. Residents, please do not worry; we will send people to begin repairs today, and power is expected to be restored in about a week."
"Any residents injured in the hot rain can come to the Hospital for free treatment."
"Fortunately, the gray fog has dissipated and will no longer affect animals and our lives."
"That's great! We can go home!" Su Liuyuan excitedly opened the Supermarket door.
A wave of heat rushed in, instantly making him retreat back inside.
"The temperature must be at least 40 degrees Celsius."
"Bear with it." Jiang Fei walked out of the Supermarket.
As the military said, the gray fog in the air had completely dissipated, but the sky was still overcast.
Jiang Fei and Jiang Zhengkang went to a nearby parking lot.
Their cars were usually parked here.
There was a canopy above the parking lot, protecting the cars from damage by the hot rain.
After asking Su Liuyuan for a car key, Jiang Fei drove Father Mo back to the courtyard house.
The others drove another car home.
Upon arriving at the courtyard house, Father Mo had someone bring a box of gold and placed it on the back seat.
"Miss Jiang, thank you for your trouble these past few days."
"It's nothing." Jiang Fei started the car and drove away from the courtyard house before putting the gold into the Supermarket.
[Ding—Gold detected: 50,000 grams]
Upon returning to Villa No. 11, Jiang Fei immediately ran upstairs and just opened the cat room door.
"Meow—"
Big Yellow meowed, drawing out the sound.
Where did you two-legged beast run off to?!
Do you know this cat is almost starving to death?!
Two days! No food, no water!
"Sorry, Big Yellow, I'm late." Jiang Fei quickly took out a can of wet food and fed it.
Then, she placed a bowl of fountain water next to it.
Big Yellow, who usually didn't like to drink water, finished the can and immediately began to lap frantically at the water bowl.
It was clear what kind of hardship it had endured these past two days.
After cleaning the litter box, food bowl, and water bowl, Jiang Fei refilled Big Yellow's dry food and fountain water.
She no longer locked the cat room door.
The gray fog had disappeared, so there was no need to keep Big Yellow confined.
Taking out the Gray Rat and Gu Yunshan's special goggles and sun-protective clothing, and putting them into a large bag, Jiang Fei went to Villa No. 8.
Su Liuyuan and the others had arrived home earlier than Jiang Fei and had already showered and changed into new clothes.
Lu Yu, Xiao Chuxia, and Mother Xiao had also driven back.
Jiang Fei distributed the goggles and sun-protective clothing to everyone.
They hadn't been exposed to sunlight for more than three months, so to prevent their eyes and skin from being unable to withstand a sudden appearance of the sun.
Then, she said to Su Liuyuan:
"You don't need to go to the small Supermarket these days. Wait until the base's power is restored before reopening."
Su Liuyuan nodded in agreement.
This hot rain had caused many people to get burned, and even if they opened, there wouldn't be any customers, so it was better to rest at home.
—
Because of Mo Yanan, the Fenglin Villa District was the first place in the base to get electricity.
Other areas would have to wait a few more days.
Noticing that the temperature had dropped to 25℃, Jiang Fei took advantage of the cooler weather to go to the villa's yard and clean up the rotten green vegetables.
They were almost ready for harvest, but due to the hot rain and rising temperatures, all the green vegetables were cooked and rotted.
After clearing the vegetable patch, when Jiang Fei was taking the trash outside to dispose of it, a car stopped at the entrance.
