50: Chapter 5 I just came up

He quickly chuckled to cover it up: "Let's hurry and leave, it'll be too late if we wait any longer."

Naturally, the others had no objections after hearing this.

Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei were the first to carry an inflatable boat downstairs. When the people in the stairwell saw the residents of the 32nd floor carrying such a large inflatable boat, their eyes filled with envy.

Zhao Lichu had just finished distributing the Kayaks when he saw Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei carrying the inflatable boat. He waited until the boat was in the water.

Zhao Lichu then asked Lu Huan, "Excuse me, are you all preparing to leave?"

Lu Huan glanced at Zhao Lichu and, out of kindness, offered a reminder: "Yeah, the water level is rising higher and higher. The Authorities even sent out Kayaks to tell people to run, so shouldn't we hurry?"

However, not every survivor in the building wanted to run, especially some of the older ones.

Hearing Lu Huan's words, two lines of clear tears instantly flowed from their eyes.

"I don't want to leave."

"My home is here, I'm not going anywhere."

Originally, the residents of the building didn't feel much when they saw the Kayaks being distributed, but seeing the inflatable boat hit the water now, for some reason, a sense of desolation welled up in everyone's hearts.

Meng Hangfei patted Lu Huan's shoulder: "I'm going back up to move things."

Unlike Lu Huan and Kong Ziyi, Meng Hangfei didn't seem to have much patience. It was as if he was just a cold person—aloof by nature and a man of few words—yet one couldn't find any fault in him.

But he just gave off a feeling of keeping people at a distance of a thousand miles.

So, seeing the people in the building now, Meng Hangfei didn't actually want to say much. No matter how much he said, it would just lead to a situation like this.

It would only add to their troubles in vain. Moreover, many people were actually afraid of the current situation and didn't want to break away from their current reality.

When Meng Hangfei returned to the 32nd floor, he saw Huo Sixian and Kong Ziyi busy carrying the second inflatable boat downstairs.

Ye Qingqing was wearing her backpack and leading Ah Huang, while also carrying a large bag of supplies taken from unit 3201.

As Ye Qingqing walked downstairs, her heart was filled with private thoughts.

Because when she had just entered 3201, she discovered that there were actually many supplies in 3201 that hadn't been moved yet.

But that made sense. After all, back when they were moving into 3201, they had been moving things in for a whole day without rest.

And there was a Typhoon at that time.

Right now, there were only two inflatable boats to carry five people and one dog.

They definitely couldn't fit everything.

So Ye Qingqing started making her own little plans.

She wanted to take advantage of the time while Huo Sixian and the others were downstairs to empty the place and store everything into her space.

And then there was the helicopter on the roof. Although the heavy rain over the past few days had soaked it through and through...

Ultimately, it was still a helicopter!

Lu Huan stayed downstairs guarding the first inflatable boat. It wasn't that he didn't trust the survivors in the building, but rather that in this kind of situation...

One must always be on guard. Ye Qingqing had put a raincoat on Ah Huang in advance, but when she actually came into contact with the torrential rain outside, she still felt that the raincoat wasn't quite enough.

The rain outside could no longer be described as bean-sized; every drop was about the size of a thumb.

It hurt when it hit a person's body.

The inflatable boat didn't have a canopy right now, so they had to install one on the spot; otherwise, the rain hitting them directly would be hard to bear.

Furthermore, Ye Qingqing guessed that some of Huo Sixian's supplies couldn't get wet.

For example... his firearms and equipment.

Huo Sixian and Lu Huan stayed downstairs to install the canopy, while Ye Qingqing and Kong Ziyi continued back upstairs.

Originally, Ye Qingqing wanted to leave Ah Huang downstairs since Lu Huan and Huo Sixian were there.

But for some reason today—perhaps because he hadn't been out in too long—Ah Huang followed Ye Qingqing wherever she went.

He was just like a curious baby.

The people in the building hadn't seen an animal in a long time. They were initially a bit surprised when they saw Ah Huang, but then their eyes filled with envy.

Some even had a look of nostalgia in their eyes.

Because many families in this building used to have dogs, but trapped at home with no food, who would still keep a pet that consumed rations?

Just like Ah Huang in her previous life, who was directly killed and eaten for meat by Ye Shanhai and the others.

Thinking of this, a flash of hatred surfaced in the depths of Ye Qingqing's eyes.

She didn't know how Ye Shanhai and the others were doing now. If they kicked the bucket at the very start of this Post-Apocalyptic World before she could encounter them, it would be considered their good fortune.

But if they hadn't kicked the bucket, then Ye Qingqing would have to have a good long talk with them.

She wondered if she would have a chance to run into them on this journey of escape.

When Ye Qingqing returned to the 32nd floor, Meng Hangfei and Kong Ziyi happened to be carrying a box of supplies down.

Ye Qingqing took this opportunity to go to the roof of the 32nd floor and found that the helicopter was sitting there perfectly. Aside from being wet from the rain, there was no damage at all.

A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Ye Qingqing's eyes. She hadn't expected the quality of this helicopter to be so good; she was very satisfied seeing this.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Qingqing reached her small hand out to the helicopter. In the blink of an eye, the helicopter appeared in the open space within her dimension.

Because the helicopter had quite a bit of volume, Ye Qingqing placed it directly in the open field; after all, there was no extra room inside the house to fit this helicopter.

The moment the helicopter entered the space, Ye Qingqing suddenly realized she couldn't see inside the space again. With the experience of the previous times, Ye Qingqing wasn't panicked at all now.

She even felt a faint excitement in her heart because she had already begun to look forward to what the space would become after another upgrade.

However, while Ye Qingqing was feeling self-satisfied, she didn't notice at all that a ghostly figure had appeared behind her.

Ah Huang, however, caught a familiar scent and instantly let out a low growl from his throat.

Because Ah Huang wasn't stupid. Although he didn't know why, an instinct told him that the secret of Ye Qingqing's space could not be told to others.

So when Huo Sixian's scent appeared, the string in Ah Huang's brain instantly snapped taut.

He began to bark loudly toward the stairwell entrance.

In an instant, Ye Qingqing snapped out of her excited state.

When she looked toward the stairwell, she found nothing.

Ye Qingqing realized she couldn't stay here any longer, so she immediately dashed downstairs with Ah Huang.

There was a faint sense of unease in her heart.

She happened to run into Huo Sixian who was coming upstairs.

Ye Qingqing's brow furrowed as she looked at Huo Sixian: "Did you... just come up?"

Huo Sixian had a puzzled look on his face: "Yeah, I just came up. Why?"
