Chapter 53: You can only rely on your own efforts
"Go and install this lamp all around, and try to illuminate the entire area." Wang Qiang ordered the two of them.
"Master, leave it to me!" Xia Xinyue looked full of energy, as if she had endless energy.
Shen Xinlan had just recovered a little, and unlike Xia Xinyue, she was already very familiar with Wang Qiang, so she just nodded and said "ok".
Before I knew it, it was already 1:30 in the morning.
At this time, the second floor of the underground garage below Building 6 was completely illuminated by the rechargeable wall lamp. Hundreds of rechargeable wall lamps were placed on each pillar, and the light they brought instantly was even brighter than before when the power was not cut off.
On the other side, after the power outage, the owners of the entire community fell out. Everyone is asking why the power suddenly went out?
Then many people discovered this situation outside.
Of course, they are not yet sure whether the poisonous sun has disappeared, so no one dares to be exposed to outdoor light for a long time, even if it is light that cannot be seen at all!
However, they didn't dare to look, but they also didn't dare to stay indoors at this time. After all, the ash falling from the sky has been corroding the metal window frames.
Parts of the window frames in some owners' homes have fallen off. The owners were so frightened that they fled overnight and no longer dared to stay in their rooms.
【Who will save me? I'm hiding in the bathroom now and don't dare to go out! 】
[The ashes in the sky outside are so scary! All the windows in my house fell off and they flew into my house. What should I do now? 】
[Everyone, go to the underground garage, that is the safest place now! 】
[Yes, everyone, come quickly, and then we will seal the door leading to the underground garage above so that the ashes cannot reach us! 】
[Underground garage? I'll be there right away! 】
【My wife and I will be coming soon too! 】
【Are there any group members? I'm 186, 28 years old, strong! 】
【Me me me! I'm here in Building 12! 】
[Everyone has gathered here in Building 14. Let’s all hold together so that we can live as long as possible! 】
Wang Qiang moved a chair out and sat there with his legs crossed while looking at the messages in the owner group on his mobile phone.
At this time, Shen Xinlan and Xia Xinyue also came back with the boxes.
"Master, we have finished the installation." Xia Xinyue said.
"Well, you did a good job, I'll reward you." Wang Qiang threw two bottles of mineral water to them.
"Now that the water and electricity are completely cut off outside, if you want to drink water in the future, you will have to drink these." Wang Qiang said.
Hearing this, Xia Xinyue, who was about to open it and take a few sips, paused, then carefully put away the bottle of water in her hand. Before there were no water or power outages, they could still boil tap water and drink it.
But now, all water and electricity are gone. For electricity, there is also a generator. But what about water?
Go outside to fetch water from the river? Not to mention the question of whether the water in the river is drinkable.
Just how to get out is a problem that bothers everyone!
So, save a little bit if you can in the future. Don’t drink all the remaining water when the time comes. That would be terrible.
"Okay, it's getting late, you all go wash up and go to bed." Wang Qiang said.
"Master, I want to sleep with you!" Xia Xinyue stepped forward and hugged Wang Qiang's arm, saying coquettishly.
She knew very well that in the current environment, she could only survive better if she hugged Wang Qiang's thigh tightly. Otherwise, she will be like those people who were kicked out before and have to rely on herself!
But doesn’t Xia Xinyue still know her abilities? Let her be self-reliant in a post-apocalyptic environment?
That's simply impossible! Therefore, pleasing Wang Qiang is what she really should do.
"I'm sleepy. How do you divide the beds? You three can make your own arrangements." Wang Qiang yawned, then took Xia Xinyue's hand and got in the car directly to the master bedroom. The door was closed. The three people standing outside looked at me and I looked at you. No one spoke for a while.
After a while, "Would any of you want to go to the other bedroom?"
After all, Shen Xinlan was the oldest among the three people present, so she took the initiative to ask.
"That bedroom belongs to me." Liu Ruyan said without hesitation.
Then without giving the two of them a chance to raise objections, they turned around and walked into the lounge on the second floor of the RV.
Click~! The door was closed and locked.
"Why is this person like this!" Yang Jiayi said with an unhappy face.
"Sister Lan, then the two of us will have to sleep on the sofa," she said.
"It's okay. The sofa in this RV is quite spacious and comfortable, not much worse than the bed at home." Shen Xinlan didn't feel dissatisfied.
For her, just being alive now, with water to drink and food to eat is already very good. Moreover, Liu Ruyan is also one of Wang Qiang's maids.
And the two of them can only be regarded as outsiders. Therefore, in theory, it was perfectly fine for Liu Ruyan to sleep in another lounge.
It's just that her attitude is indeed not very good. It's normal for Yang Jiayi to be angry.
One night without words, the next day.
Wang Qiang set an alarm for 8 o'clock last night. So he woke up at 8 o'clock.
After turning off the alarm clock, Wang Qiang lay on the bed for a while before getting up and getting dressed.
Ten minutes later, Wang Qiang came out of the bathroom after washing up. The first thing he saw were the two maids who were sorting things.
"Where are Sister Lan and Yang Jiayi?" Wang Qiang asked.
"Master, you're awake! They are packing other things outside." Xia Xinyue stood up and said with a smile.
Wang Qiang nodded, then threw a bag of ingredients to Xia Xinyue and told her that he was going to have beef hot pot this morning and asked her to prepare it.
"Okay, Master!" Xia Xinyue took the heavy bag of ingredients and went to the kitchen with it.
The RV has a kitchen area where you can cook a variety of meals. There are all kinds of tools in the kitchen, so you don’t have to worry about anything missing.
After getting out of the RV, Wang Qiang also saw Shen Xinlan and Yang Jiayi working outside.
"Come here." Wang Qiang waved and called them over.
"We will be living together in the next few days, so I have to explain some rules to you in advance." Wang Qiang said.
Shen Xinlan and Yang Jiayi listened carefully.
"I don't need people with their own ideas here. Everything must be based on me. Can this be done?" Wang Qiang asked them.
Shen Xinlan and Yang Jiayi nodded and had no objections.
"Then, Sister Lan, you will be the maid of this family just like Xiaoyue, Ruyan and the others. Sister Lan, do you disagree?" Wang Qiang looked at Shen Xinlan.
"I have no problem!" Shen Xinlan nodded. In fact, she thought a lot before going to bed last night and guessed that Wang Qiang might let her stay here as a maid.
