Chapter 142: Bad Premonition
When Long Yu arrived at the rooftop, he saw Yao Ran standing by the door, frowning at the snow. He walked up to her, lowered his head, and asked, "Yao Ran, what's wrong?"
Yao Ran came to her senses after hearing his question. She looked at him and said, "In less than two days, so much snow had already accumulated here. I'm worried that if there is a snowstorm, this building might be buried under the snow."
After hearing her words, Long Yu's face became solemn. He looked down from the edge of the rooftop and found that the rooftop was only sixteen meters from the ground.
If there was a snowstorm, it was hard to say whether they would survive. The weather after a typhoon is very unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that if there is a snowstorm, it will not last as long as the heavy rain.
Shi Xuan saw Long Yu and Yao Ran looking at the snow on the ground with worried looks on their faces, so he approached them and asked, "What's wrong?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yao Ran told him about her worries, and Shi Xuan frowned after listening to her.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Didn't Quan Yuanwei say that Lu Hong was patrolling the community and joining forces with other building managers?"
Yao Ran nodded, and then Shi Xuan continued, "Since he likes to do things for the community, we can just let him solve this problem."
Long Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have a way to deal with him and make him willingly solve this problem?"
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Captain, leave this matter to me. Even if Lu Hong doesn't want to, The will eventually do it."
Seeing the cunning smile in his eyes, Long Yu knew that Shi Xuan had a plan, and this plan would make Lu Hong miserable.
Since Shi Xuan had already said he would handle the matter, Yao Ran and Long Yu put aside their worries and went to collect snow with the others.
Thirty minutes later, they had finished collecting the snow, and only a thin layer was left on the ground.
After the poisonous moth plague, the ground was covered with bacteria and poison, so Yao Ran thought for a few seconds and said, "We should place something on the ground so that the new snow will not mix with the bacteria and dirt on the ground."
Hearing this, Jia Xiang said, "We have some iron plates that we found in the mall before. The quantity should be enough to cover the entire rooftop."
Huang Qian nodded and said, "Then I will go and get those iron plates."
Initially, they brought the iron panels back to reinforce the walls of their apartment but scrapped the plan after metal doors were installed on the stairs.
Who knew they would use the metal plates to collect snow now? Fortunately, they did not give up when they encountered difficulties in transporting them back before. Otherwise, they would need to find something else to cover the ground on the rooftop to collect the snow.
After they covered the rooftop with iron plates, everyone went home to melt the snow and take a shower. The water problem was successfully solved, and everyone was happy.
When she got home, Yao Ran quickly turned on the electric heater. To save coal, she took out another electric heater, connected it to the solar generator, and turned it on. Since she was not using the coal stove, she closed the window tightly so the cold wind couldn't come in. The two heaters work simultaneously, and the bedroom temperature rises rapidly. It was minus five degrees Celsius in the bedroom, which felt very warm compared to outside.
After solving the water problem, Yao Ran and the others did not go out for several days and continued to collect the snow.
The temperature is dropping day by day. Sometimes, it falls less than one degree Celsius in a day, sometimes more than two degrees Celsius in a day, and sometimes it stays the same throughout the day.
Three days later, the temperature dropped to minus twenty-six degrees Celsius. There has been a lot of noise downstairs and outside lately.
Judging from the situation in the past few days, the noise downstairs seemed to be caused by Lu Hong and others breaking into someone else's home. The hustle and bustle lasted for several days and finally calmed down today. In addition to the noise downstairs, news comes from the 19th floor.
Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi are bored at home every day and often visit Grandma Quan and Grandpa Quan to chat. When they heard something important, the two of them went to visit Yao Ran and told her the news.
Last night, the entire family living in unit 1903 was found dead by Sima Yun.
After Huang Zhihui investigated the case, she finally learned that the young woman living there deliberately opened the window and froze everyone to death. The reason is quite shocking.
It turns out that the man who lived there wanted to sell his daughter's body for food and fuel, but the daughter was unwilling to do so.
Since she had no choice under her father's abuse and the instigation of her father's new lover, the daughter made an extreme decision to kill herself and her family, including the woman her father had brought back two days earlier.
When Yao Ran heard this, she felt that this woman was stupid. She should have just killed her father and the woman and survived alone. When a person dies, that is the end of the story.
Since she has the courage to kill herself, then that young woman should use that courage to find her own freedom.
Although Yao Ran thought so in her mind, she didn't say anything. She just listened to all the gossip Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi collected while they were chatting with the Quan family and Sima family.
