Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Almost Got Robbed at Home

Fan Meiqin shivered. The cold blade frightened her, turning her face ghostly pale, and she immediately collapsed back down, too scared to speak.

However, Ding Yan suddenly spoke up from the side, "Liu Erlong has rooms on the eleventh, fourteenth, twenty-first, and twenty-eighth floors. He changes rooms irregularly."

Liang Yuan was instantly surprised and looked at Ding Yan, asking, "So many vacant rooms? The people on the rooftop and in the corridor haven't moved in?"

Ding Yan replied, "Ever since the heavy rain, no one has dared to stay on the rooftop anymore. Only some old, weak, sick, and disabled people were driven to the top, responsible for collecting rainwater and such. Most people are in the corridor."

"There's still a lot of vacant rooms below, but they're all controlled by Liu Erlong and his gang. If they don't allow someone to live there, no one can."

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, "No one resists?"

"They have more people."

Liang Yuan's gaze flickered slightly, and he asked, "How much food do they still have?"

"Not much left. Right now, they're planning to go door to door to loot. You've been hiding at home all this time, right? Be careful; they'll come looking for you soon."

Hearing this, Liang Yuan couldn't help but take another look at Ding Yan.

This woman's appearance was not bad, but she was clearly malnourished, her face pale and lips chapped, far less vibrant than Fan Meiqin, who was standing next to her.

Liang Yuan asked, "Are there many people downstairs?"

"Quite a few. Those who have some skills managed to cozy up to Liu Erlong and got a room. Those who didn't fare as well are living in the stairwell. The worst off are in the corridor, where the ground is wet, and the wind and rain can blow in. Still, it's better than the rooftop."

Liang Yuan asked a few more questions and had a rough understanding of the surrounding situation.

He didn't go downstairs further. According to the other's account, most of the people downstairs were with Liu Erlong. As an outsider, he would easily be beaten up if he went down.

He chose to take a walk around the corridor and indeed found quite a few people hiding there.

Since the corridor had no shelter, many used plastic bags or other materials to make tents to block the rain, barely making it livable.

Fortunately, each corridor was large enough, with most people living as a family unit.

Generally, two or three families lived together in one corridor, seemingly huddling together for warmth.
