Chapter 34 - 34

Chapter 34 Stockpiling 1"Brother, we need an air pump, can we borrow it?" Wang Kai asked, feigning a pitiful expression.Su Xiaoyu remained silent, leaving the matter to them to handle.Gu Lingxiao knew that if she didn't help them, the group would definitely cause trouble. Since they had assault boats, they could go out to find supplies, which would reduce some potential dangers and prevent them from bringing back too much conspicuous stuff.He nodded to Zhou Yu beside him.I handed over the air pump, fearing they would spend more than half an hour pumping it up.After inflating the air pump, Wang Kai first snorted coldly, then threw it back. The humble expression on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by arrogance. These past few days, they had become the leaders of this group.No one's going to disrespect him. With this speedboat, he can go out and find things. Nobody's superior to anyone else. These guys are just a little skilled, what's so great about them? They might go out and mess with the wrong people and get beaten to death!Thanks."Your attitude changed pretty quickly!" Zhou Yucaught the air pump, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and wiped away the sweat stains left on it.The sound of air leaking is so faint that it is almost imperceptible unless you listen very carefully.Gu Lingxiao noticed something was wrong with the speedboat, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she waved to the others, telling them to ignore the group and go downstairs.The water level had dropped to the 6th floor, but the stairs were covered in silt after being submerged for a long time, making them difficult to walk on. It took them quite a bit of effort to get down.Open the large windows in the corridor and launch one inflatable boat first. If there are no problems, launch the other inflatable boats one by one.It took Zhao Yong a bit of effort to get up there, but everyone else just jumped onto the windowsill in one leap. He was covered in mud and looked quite disheveled, but he didn't care at all.This was the first time I had seen the outside world. In the huge courtyard, apart from the messy garbage, I didn't see any human corpses."I thought I'd see those corpses! Why aren't there any?" Zhao Yong muttered to himself.It was only then that they noticed there were no bodies on the water, only trash."Perhaps it sank to the bottom," Gu Lingxiaosaid.Zhao Yong felt a chill run down his spine. The thought of those corpses underwater, soaked and in terrible condition, filled him with dread.Su Xiaoyu said, " Brother Zhao, there's a price to pay for coming out. If you don't want to leave, you can always go back!"Zhao Yong refused to shake his head, and shook it vigorously, like a rattle-drum."I don't want to go back. I want to go out and find medicine for your sister-in-law. It would be even better if I could find something to eat. Just bear with it and it will pass. As long as I don't overthink things, everything will be fine."He has a big, burly appearance, but he's so timid.Gu Lingxiao said, "Alright, everyone stop talking. It's already a bit late since we went out today."Everyone then shut up.Gu Lingxiao was in charge of driving one of the speedboats, while Jin Jun and Liu Hai operated the other two. They had been training at sea for some time, so driving a small speedboat was a piece of cake for them.And so the three speedboats left at top speed.After they left, Wang Kai followed their example and, with the help of others, climbed onto the windowsill. He was shaking all over when the speedboat was lowered.I don't know how they managed to leave so quickly. I gritted my teeth, jumped up in one breath, and only felt much more at ease after I stood firmly on my feet.If you want to be the leader of this group, you have to set an example. Otherwise, what if they don't share the supplies they collect?Three more people then went down, includingQiao Yueyue, and the other two were brothers, Li Nan and Li Cheng.They were chosen because of their youth, and were forced to go out to find supplies. In fact, they had some food on hand, but they had hidden it and had not taken it out.If you don't play mind games now, when will you?After the four people slowly sat down, a question came to mind: who knew how to use the speedboat?"Who among you knows how to operate it?"Wang Kai asked.It was his first time riding in this thing, and it felt similar to a boat. He wondered how it worked. Seeing that they had long since disappeared, and he had no one to ask, he felt indignant. Why didn't those people explain how to operate it?They should die out there; I couldn't help but curse them in my heart."I've been to amusement parks with my child before, but this is different from the ones in amusement parks, and I don't know how to operate it." Qiao Yueyue spoke very softly. Her main purpose in going out was not to find supplies, but to see if there was a place to stay.Entrusting the children to those people is like letting go; they can take care of them, and if the children die, it's just bad luck for those two kids.Wang Kai looked at the two brothers and asked, "Do you two know how to operate this?"Li Cheng: "I've heard others say that you just pull the lever hard and it goes out, and then you have to hold the steering wheel. As for how to control the speed, I don't know."Wang Kai frowned. He didn't even know how to use this thing to get out. What if something dangerous happened along the way? In this deep water, he would surely die.The thought of those people being thrown into the water, with not a single body in sight, made me even more terrified.Just as he was hesitating.Qiao Yueyue pulled hard on the engine to get away as soon as possible, and with a whoosh, it started.The speedboat then began to move, at a very fast speed.They had no idea how to operate it, so they could only hold onto the surroundings with their hands.It looked like it was about to crash into the wall.Only then did Li Nan grasp the essentials and gain control of the entire assault boat, preventing it from crashing into the wall.They gasped in fright. The feeling of surviving a disaster was really great; at least they had a second chance at life.Wang Kai then yelled at Qiao Yueyue, "What are you doing? Do you want to kill us?"Qiao Yueyue quickly said, "I saw you guys were hesitant, and I was just thinking, wouldn't it be great if I could drive it? Who would have thought it would turn out like this!"Wang Kai: "Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore. Since you can drive, hurry up and get out of here. Can't you see that those guys are already out of sight? They're ahead of us and might have already gotten a lot of supplies."Li Nan then steered the speedboat with the correct direction and slowly steered it out. It was his first time operating a real speedboat, and there were still many obstacles on the water.There were all sorts of things scattered around.Refrigerators, televisions, all sorts of things, a motley collection, and all kinds of rotting matter.No wonder those people were wearing thick masks when they went out; it was to prevent the smell.They didn't notice this when they went out, and felt like they couldn't breathe.
