Chapter 12 Soft and weak
Jade Mingfu Community is not considered high-end in Hangzhou, but it can still be ranked among the mid-range.
When housing prices were at their highest two years ago, houses here could even sell for 41,000 square meters.
The price of any 120-square-meter house is close to five million.
But now the house price has dropped, to 36,000 square meters, but this is still not something that migrant workers like Wang Qiang can afford.
Even if he rents here, he can only choose to share it with others, and he can't afford it by himself.
"Mr. Wang, are you alone?"
Shen Xinlan asked in a low voice when she saw Wang Qiang going out.
"Yes, I am the only one here. Where are you? Your husband is not here?"
Wang Qiang nodded and then asked.
Shen Xinlan shook his head and said: "He went out to work yesterday. I contacted him later and he said he was trapped in the company."
Not dead?
Wang Qiang was a little disappointed.
But it doesn't matter if he doesn't die, it will happen sooner or later anyway.
"I see, you are going to the underground garage for a meeting now?"
Wang Qiang nodded and asked.
"Yes, I saw the news in the owner group and wanted to take a look."
Shen Xinlan nodded.
She has been staying at home for the past two days and has not gone anywhere.
But she also pays attention to the news from the outside world, especially the discussions in the owner group. She is always peeking at the screen.
Shen Xinlan didn't know how long it would take for this disaster to end, but at least for now, it seemed like it wouldn't be over for a while.
After all, it was the sun that had changed, which was more than 100 million kilometers away from them.
Human beings cannot affect the sun at all, and naturally there is no possibility of actively solving this disaster.
All they can do is wait passively for the disaster to end.
But how long is this time exactly?
Ten days?
A month?
Or a year?
But even if it was ten days, Shen Xinlan felt that she might not be able to survive that time.
There is not much food in her house, and even if she is the only one eating it, it will last until the day after tomorrow at most.
And what about the day after tomorrow?
Moreover, God knows when their community will lose water and electricity.
Now everyone is afraid to go out, which means that many facilities may face a situation where no one is operating or maintaining them.
Once water and electricity are cut off, riots are likely to follow!
Although Shen Xinlan is a housewife, she also likes to read novels and TV series when she has nothing to do at home.
She has also read some novels about apocalyptic themes, and knows that in an apocalyptic environment, human nature will become extremely terrifying.
And for a powerless woman like her, who is still beautiful, usually there will be no good results!
Therefore, Shen Xinlan has been very scared these two days.
She couldn't sleep last night, so she took a nap in the afternoon to catch up, otherwise she might still have the dark circles under her eyes from the morning!
Wang Qiang didn't know the fear in Shen Xinlan's heart, but looking at her cautious look, he knew that she might not be having a good life these two days.
"How about we go together?"
Wang Qiang extended an invitation.
Hearing this, Shen Xinlan thought for a while and then nodded.
There are multiple people taking care of each other, and Shen Xinlan has a pretty good impression of Wang Qiang.
Although the other party doesn't have much money, he is down-to-earth and hard-working. In addition, he is handsome. Among the female group, he is born with a certain advantage in favorability.
"Can you wait for me a moment?"
Shen Xinlan said.
"Okay, but hurry up, the time is almost up."
Wang Qiang looked at the time on his watch and said.
"Quickly."
Shen Xinlan said.
Then he turned back to the house.
After a while, when she came out, she already had a kitchen knife in her hand.
Wang Qiang glanced at her in surprise. I didn't expect that this seemingly soft and frail woman would have such a side.
Shen Xinlan noticed that Wang Qiang's eyes fell on the kitchen knife in her hand, so she explained: "I think it may be unsafe to go out now, so I bring a knife with me just in case."
< br>
"I understand, it's a good thing you have this vigilance."
Wang Qiang nodded and said.
"Then do you want to bring back that knife or something for self-defense?"
Shen Xinlan looked at him and said.
"I don't need it."
Wang Qiang said.
His weapons are all in the infinite warehouse, and they are not kitchen knives, but a pistol and a submachine gun!
Guns are banned in Xuan Kingdom, and they are strictly controlled!
Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to carry guns with them.
Not to mention a real gun, even an air gun is illegal!
Therefore, to others, Wang Qiang's two guns are completely like weapons for dimensionality reduction strikes.
There is no need to worry about anyone threatening his life.
Besides, even if someone makes a sneak attack without martial ethics.
Then Wang Qiang also has super-speed self-healing ability comparable to Wolverine.
Even if the head falls off, as long as it is reattached, it will be quickly connected again, and there will be no visible wounds!
Shen Xinlan just kindly reminded Wang Qiang. Seeing Wang Qiang's insistence, she said nothing more.
The two of them walked into the safe passage together, and then went down the stairs.
As for why not take the elevator?
It's very simple. If there is an accident in the elevator at this time, no one will come to save them.
Therefore, taking the elevator now is like making a joke with your own life. I believe that anyone with a brain will choose to take the stairs.
Ding~!
When they reached the 11th floor, both Wang Qiang and Shen Xinlan heard the sound of the elevator arriving from outside the door.
Followed by several footsteps entering the elevator.
The two looked at each other.
"I'm really not afraid of death."
Wang Qiang said with a chuckle.
Although Shen Xinlan didn't say anything, her eyes showed recognition.
It took the two of them several minutes to walk from the 16th floor to the first floor.
When he reached the negative level, Wang Qiang was fine.
Originally, when he was running takeout, he often climbed the stairs, so his physical strength was quite good.
But Shen Xinlan couldn't.
She is a housewife and her physical strength is far inferior to that of Wang Qiang.
Going down from the 16th floor to the first floor, I was already out of breath from exhaustion.
At this time, the elevator in front arrived.
The elevator door opened and three people came out.
"Did you come down by the stairs?"
One of the middle-aged men couldn't help but said when he saw Shen Xinlan's appearance.
"Yes, walking down."
Wang Qiang nodded and said.
"Awesome!"
The middle-aged man gave them a thumbs up.
At this time, the female anchor next to her who she had met once yesterday morning curled her lips and said with disdain: "Are you a fool? If there is an elevator, why not take the stairs?"
"No, taking the stairs is the most correct choice. If you are trapped in the elevator at this time, do you think someone will come to rescue you?"
At this time, someone else came out of the stairwell. Xu happened to hear what the female anchor said, and a man wearing glasses who looked polite retorted.
“It’s not so easy for elevators to cause accidents!”
The female anchor snorted coldly and said, "A few big men are not as courageous as a woman like me. They are really useless!"
"Hmph~!"
