Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Cai Zhi and Old Ma

"Old Ma? Old Ma?"

On the 31st floor walkway, heavy rain poured into the corridor, hitting the tent.

Cai Zhi stood outside Ma Guocai's tent and called softly.

Ma Guocai unzipped the tent, saw Cai Zhi, and asked, "What time is it?"

"Almost 8 PM."

Ma Guocai nodded, "I'll take the night watch, you get some rest."

Cai Zhi looked around and said, "No rush, I have something to discuss with you."

Ma Guocai was startled, then quickly understood. He climbed out of the tent, and the two moved to the staircase.

First, they looked at Ding Yan and Fan Meiqin at the upstairs corner, instinctively keeping some distance.

Cai Zhi then whispered, "Did you hear the commotion this morning?"

Ma Guocai nodded, "With that racket, how could I not? Liu Erlong clashed with the young guy on the 32nd floor and took a heavy loss."

Cai Zhi added, "Who would have thought he had petrol and gas canisters? With those, Liu Erlong probably won't dare mess with him for a while."

Ma Guocai nodded slightly, then looked at Cai Zhi and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Cai Zhi said in a low voice, "That guy has petrol and gas canisters at home, probably more food too. My daughter can't hold on much longer. If she doesn't get food soon, I worry..."

Ma Guocai's expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "Should we try fishing again?"

Cai Zhi shook his head, "Liu Erlong's men have blocked the 10th floor. No one else gets a chance to fish. Even if they do, their catch gets seized."

"So what's your plan?"

"I want to seek help from the guy on the 32nd floor."

"Will he lend you food?" Ma Guocai asked with a bitter smile.

"Not to borrow food. I want to team up with him. If we don't unite, Liu Erlong will bully us to death."
