Chapter 264 The "delicate" neighbor of the protagonists in the natural disaster article 21
"jingle--"
The frequent ringing of the bell forced He Qingwan to leave the kitchen and jog to open the door. When she opened the door, she was even holding an unopened mille-feuille cake in her arms.
"I'm coming."
She frowned, "Don't press it."
"Duoduo, you have to leave with me." Qi Xiao pressed the door with one hand and held the door frame with the other. The movement of raising his hand revealed a part of his wrist, on which he was wearing the watch that He Qingwan had given him.
He took a deep breath, his eyes sincere and pleading, "It's not safe here anymore. We need to go to a safer place."
Qi Xiao didn't know why he could do this for He Qingwan. He just had a vague premonition that if he didn't do this, he would regret it in the future.
"No." He Qingwan looked him in the eyes and shook his head. "I can't leave, at least not now."
"Why?" Qi Xiao couldn't help but yelled, "You can see the current situation. The weather has become very abnormal, and it will only get more abnormal in the future. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
He gripped the door tighter and tighter, his bony joints turning white from the force.
He was puzzled. "Duoduo, why did you suddenly distance yourself from us? We went out to eat together, went camping together, and traveled abroad together. I thought we were already friends. But that day, on New Year's Day, why did you lie to me?"
"With what identity are you questioning me?" He Qingwan was not affected by his emotions, but asked him back calmly.
What status?
This question left Qi Xiao stunned.
He couldn't help but loosen his grip, "I don't know."
There was some confusion in his eyes, "I just think that I should do this."
It should be the protagonist's sense of justice.
He Qingwan didn't think much about it. She pried Qi Xiao's fingers off the door frame and the door one by one.
"There is nothing you must do." He Qingwan shook his head at him again, "You don't need to treat me as your responsibility."
The door slammed shut and never opened again.
【Hebao, he didn't leave. 】
【Ignore him.】
Outside the window, heavy rain is pouring down like a waterfall.
He Qingwan sat on the balcony, stirring the coffee in his hand while enjoying the heavy rain outside.
Putting aside the dampness after the rain, she quite likes rainy days.
He Qingwan couldn't help but frown as he took a bite of the exquisite dessert on the plate and took a sip of the freshly ground latte.
"Latte is not enough to make me feel greasy. I need to make another cup of black tea."
Now that the tea is brewed, let’s add some music.
The melodious sound of the harp echoed in the living room. He Qingwan felt even happier and couldn't help but hum a song from her hometown.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and a typhoon in the distance was whistling towards City E. He Qingwan ignored it all. She was immersed in the music, in her own world.
[Hebao, Tang Zhuo survived the extreme heat, but he may not be able to hold on with such severe flooding.]
006's words pulled He Qingwan back to the world of the commission. She ate the exquisitely shaped dessert without caring, "With the system, he won't die so easily. But we still need to monitor his vital signs in real time. If he's about to die, I'll go over and revive him and continue to torture him."
It’s not a big deal. She can’t resurrect the dying as she pleases in her hometown, but she can do it here.
I feel good after eating and drinking enough.
He Qingwan rarely opened the refrigerator and started to organize things.
Look, there is an empty seat and she happens to have a watermelon in her hand.
I tried to push it in, but found it wouldn't go in.
"Liu Liu is in your hands."
He Qingwan's expression changed immediately. He put down the watermelon and walked towards the bedroom without even closing the refrigerator door.
What a crappy refrigerator. The design is not reasonable at all. I will throw this broken thing aside when I get to the official base.
He lifted the quilt and lay on the bed. He took out his mobile phone to control the indoor temperature, and then controlled the three smart locks to lock all three locks. Then He Qingwan fell asleep peacefully.
The other four people on the same floor were not as comfortable as she was.
The four of them gathered in the larger elevator hall to discuss something.
"The rain is getting heavier. If it continues to rain, the first floor will definitely be flooded." Xu Chan was a little anxious. After she stopped working, she read a lot of novels, many of which were about apocalyptic disasters. The most terrifying thing in such novels was the human heart.
If the first floor is flooded, the people on it will have to move upstairs. There are four households there.
“Maybe the second floor will also be flooded.” Yueya didn’t experience the flood and didn’t know how serious it was, but she knew it was a natural disaster and definitely not an ordinary weather anomaly.
"The second floor is flooded. Who can guarantee that the third floor won't be flooded?" After Han Ye finished speaking, he met Xu Chan's eyes. The two looked at each other for a moment and then turned their gaze to Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao had been silent the whole time. When he saw the three people stopped talking and looked at him, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket.
"This is the key for the anti-theft door and the explosion-proof door." Qi Xiao pointed to the iron door in front of the elevator hall and the room door, "When we changed the door, I asked them to change this as well."
Han Ye nodded twice and said, "I'll go lock the door."
The anti-theft door at the stairwell and the explosion-proof door separating the corridor were all locked.
"I installed surveillance in advance and used a mobile power supply." Qi Xiao put a tablet on the table.
This table was moved from He Qingwan's home. At that time, He Qingwan bought the wrong style when placing an order online, and was too lazy to return it, so he asked Qi Xiao and Yin Shaoyou to move it to the elevator hall.
"If a riot breaks out, this door must also be locked." Qi Xiao pointed to the explosion-proof door between the elevator hall and the door. It was the only explosion-proof door on the 44th floor that had not been locked.
"We know." Xu Chan and Han Ye held hands tightly together, supporting each other and giving each other courage.
After a week of heavy rain, the water reached the ninth floor. At this point, the owners and tenants of the houses below the ninth floor also moved into the houses below the fortieth floor.
In a few days, the people downstairs will reach the 44th floor and find that the stairs on the 44th floor are locked.
"You have to protect me, okay?" He Qingwan pointed at Cang Ying's head with his index finger, "Even if anything happens to you, you can't let anything happen to me, okay?"
The goshawk tilted its head, picked up the necklace on the coffee table and handed it to He Qingwan.
He Qingwan had a necklace on her neck, so she didn't take it. Instead, she pushed its beak to the other side.
"I said you need to protect me, not take care of me."
The goshawk now understood, and it obediently shrank its body to its smallest size, jumped onto He Qingwan's knees, took two small steps, spread its wings and pressed tightly against He Qingwan's body.
"You protect me, and I protect you."
He Qingwan stroked its glossy feathers and said, "I'll give you one more life."
The goshawk didn't understand what He Qingwan meant. It only knew that its master had firmly chosen it.
