The rookie returns and flies in the apocalypse

Chapter 93 Neighbors on the 21st floor

Zuo Ling knew nothing about what happened at Jinmen Port.

Except for Qingxue, she stayed in the car and didn't go anywhere.

When it was inconvenient to cook in the car, she absorbed energy crystals.

Watch the news occasionally and pay attention to what everyone in the community is saying.

The snow showed no tendency to stop, and six snowplow trucks kept roaring.

From calling everyone in the community group to stock up on charcoal, for the first time someone said:

"The end of the world may really be here. Don't just stock up on charcoal, but stock up on rice, flour, grain, oil and drinking water. Looking at this situation, the disaster will not be over for a while."

Zuo Ling echoed:

"Yes, everyone, please stock up on food. The city is closed due to heavy snow, transportation is inconvenient, and supplies must be in short supply."

说囤物资的越来越多,接着唉声叹气,然后是沉默。33?0?5qxs.?0?4m

That night, the crisis was over, and the property management informed everyone that they could return to their buildings.

There are height restrictions in the underground parking lot of the community. The Global Leopard is too high to park in, so it is not suitable to leave it in the ice and snow for a long time.

Go out of the community, find a deserted place, collect the Global Leopard into the space, and return with the Tank 500.

The house is almost the same as when she left it. Only a few things were moved out of place due to the shock. It just needs a little tidying up.

The next day, I went to the supermarket when it opened.

The snow was too heavy and he didn't drive. Zuo Ling wanted to walk to stretch his muscles.

On a day of minus 75 degrees, it was very uncomfortable to hike in the wind and snow.

Many people in the community went downstairs to the supermarket with Zuo Ling.

The acquaintances greeted each other: "You are also going to the supermarket."

"Yeah, let's go buy something. It keeps snowing, so I'm afraid it will stop."

"Me too, let's go see what we can buy."

A group of people walked and chatted.

Zuo Ling heard a lot of news.

"More than a million people have died in the city."

"That's an official report, and many of them were not reported."

"That's right. With such heavy snow, there are many dead people living alone. Who knows."

"That's right."

"Seven or eight more people died in the community."

"The quality of the houses in our community is considered good. We all are like this, but the quality outside can only be worse."

"Hey, what should we do? If we continue like this, our life will be unbearable."

"It's difficult, just take it one step at a time."

"..."

Before I even reached the entrance of the supermarket, I saw a huge crowd of people.

Everyone was dressed like a bear, with only their eyes exposed.

The supermarket opened more than half an hour later than usual. I was so cold that I cursed my mother and was about to smash the door in excitement, but the supermarket finally opened.

People rushed in due to the blast, and Zuo Ling ducked to the side. She is not afraid of being squeezed, but she is afraid of accidentally bumping into an elderly person and being unable to get rid of it.

There were two people who were squeezed down. They were wearing too much and couldn't get up for a long time. No one dared to help them. They hid far away. Zuo Ling followed them and took a detour.

Entering the supermarket, the supermarket, which is usually warm as spring, is almost as cold as an ice cellar.

The shelves of rice, flour, grains and oils are all empty. Vegetables, dried noodles, instant noodles, all kinds of canned food, bread, meat... anything that can fill the stomach is snatched away.

All food items have been raised by 50% for small items, and more than doubled for large items. But even so, there is nothing to buy.

Zuo Ling was not short of supplies and did not compete with everyone for food or drink.

Turning to the pots category, I bought some stainless steel pots and steamers, and also bought 84 disinfectant, mosquito repellent, mosquito coils, cockroach poison, and rat poison.

Pick out the expensive skin care products, and there are a lot of condiments such as soy sauce, cooking wine, and vinegar left, so Zuo Ling takes them wherever he goes.

There are still more than 8 million that have not been spent. It is difficult to spend all the money on hand by just buying these.

When I was poor, I never thought that one day I would worry about not being able to spend my money.

There are still many items on the imported goods shelves that are not taken, and the rest are relatively expensive. A box of biscuits costs hundreds, and a small bottle of coffee drinks costs dozens.

Various sauces, instant coffee, dried fruits...Zuo Ling put them all into the shopping cart without looking at the price.

The shopping cart was almost falling, so I went to the checkout counter to pay, 2!

Prices have risen very high without even realizing it.

Get home, put down your things, and drive back to the supermarket.

It's expensive now, but it will only be more expensive in the future. If you don't spend the money, keeping it in your hands is worse than wipes.

Wanting to keep Waterfall at home, Waterfall refused to say anything and kept holding on to his trousers.

"If you're not afraid of the cold, just follow."

There are fewer things in the supermarket, and the tallymen have no intention of loading the goods. They all stare at the empty shelves in a daze.

Zuo Ling went to the imported goods area first and missed both cat and dog food.

I went back and forth four or five times to get more, but the supermarket closed early.

Someone wanted to cause trouble, and the person in charge of the supermarket said with a straight face:

"Heavy snow has closed the city, and there's an earthquake. Traffic is cut off, and goods from outside can't come in. If you can make trouble, you can make trouble."

Looking at the pitifully empty shelves, everyone stopped thinking.

Since this day, the supermarket has not been open normally, and we are waiting for notification of the day when it will open.

Zuo Ling moved to a hardware store and bought a lot of various tools and small parts, both useful and useless.

I don’t know where to use many of them or what they are used for.

The whole city was shut down, and there wasn't even a sparrow in front of the hardware store. An inexplicable customer came to buy something as if to clear out the inventory.

The shop owner was so happy that he could only meet such idiots every day, but even so, the total cost was less than 50.

Zuo Ling was scanning the streets for goods. Don't even think about rice, flour, grains, oils, instant noodles and the like in the supermarket next to the street. They have long been sold out.

There are a lot of condiments and toiletries left, so Zuo Ling emptied them all.

They are all small things and don’t cost much to empty.

I visited five tobacco and alcohol stores in a row and spent 500 million.

The owners of the specialty stores were laughing happily. Everyone in the city was stocking up on food, but this fool was the only one buying cigarettes and alcohol.

Why, smoking and drinking can make you hungry, what a bastard!

The second-hand goods went to the daily necessities supermarket again to clean out pots, stainless steel basins, and large plastic buckets.

Passing by a tricycle shop, there are human-powered tricycles, electric tricycles and fuel-powered tricycles.

The shop owner was in a hurry to return to his hometown. He couldn't clear out all the goods and couldn't leave. His eyes were bleeding from the anxiety.

Zuo Lingang asked about the price, and the shop owner couldn't wait to say: "Half price, half price for everything."

"I want it all, can it be cheaper?"

It's not that Zuo Ling is greedy, it's that the shop owner is obviously in a hurry to sell goods and doesn't lower the price, which is against business rules.

The shop owner was afraid that Zuo Ling would say that work would not count: "The minimum discount is [-]% off. If you can clear them all, I will give you everything in my shop."

I can’t take it with me anyway, so I might as well clear the weights.

Zuo Ling's mouth twitched, what he said was so generous.

A shop that sells tricycles, what can be found in the shop, repair tools? Or spare parts?

She was here to spread the money, and she was too lazy to tell if she had any.

After paying the money, the shopkeeper handed the shop key to Zuo Ling and told him to press the key under the stone slab at the door after clearing the goods.

After giving the instructions, the person hurried away and disappeared.

There are 60 human-powered three-wheelers, 40 electric three-wheelers, and 20 fuel-powered three-wheelers.

Zuo Ling underestimated the shopkeeper.

The warehouse stores more than half of the house's tires, including those for human-powered tricycles, electric tricycles and fuel-powered tricycles, as well as many batteries and other parts.

There are no restrictions on electricity and fuel consumption, and electric three-wheelers and fuel-powered three-wheelers are popular.

It is difficult to use electricity and oil in the last days, so human power is the main force.

When I had 20 left in my pocket, I headed back home.

I am used to living in poverty. I don’t have any money left on me and I feel uneasy.

After climbing several times, Zuo Ling got used to climbing and climbed back to the 22nd floor in one go. His waist and legs didn't hurt.

As soon as she reached the 21st floor, someone called her: "Girl."

Looking up, there was an old man standing at the elevator entrance on the 21st floor.

He wears gold-rimmed glasses, is elegant and elegant, and his gray hair is meticulously combed.

It was so cold that I dared to stand in the corridor without even wearing a hat. The old man was in really good health.

Zuo Ling remained silent and stared at him warily.

She has no interest in being neighbors upstairs and downstairs. Not disturbing each other is the best way to get along.

The old man smiled: "The little girl is quite guarded. I'm not a bad person and I don't mean any harm."

While talking, an older woman walked out of the room, wrapped much more tightly than the old man.

Judging by their age, they are husband and wife.

The hostess called Zuo Ling: "Girl, it's cold outside, come inside and sit down."

"Do you have anything to say? I'm waiting to go home."

Zuo Ling really didn't want to interact with people in the community. Nodding and saying hello was unnecessary, let alone going to other people's homes.

The couple looked at each other, and the old man took out two work certificates: "We are really not bad people. These are the work certificates of the old couple."

Already prepared!

When I opened it, I saw that the old man's surname was Jin, a professor at a certain university of science and technology, and the old lady's surname was Tang, a senior researcher at the Agricultural Research Institute.

A family of senior intellectuals.

Zuo Ling has little education, so when he meets a high-level intellectual, he will be three points shorter at first.

He lowered his eyes to hide his discomfort and softened his voice: "What's the matter? Tell me.
