They said you have a gun and that you shoot people when you’re upset… We live next door and won’t make you unhappy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan: “…” Was she really that terrifying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, although the other person appeared to be about her age, her speech and behavior were somewhat similar to that of an eight or nine-year-old child who had done something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the wounds on her body, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but feel a moment of doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t want to delve too deeply into a conversation with her and simply said “okay” before continuing to walk downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Wanli’s lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but then the sound of a door “creaking” from upstairs interrupted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound came from, probably, room 3203.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy footsteps approached the fire escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of panic crossed Wen Wanli’s eyes. After nodding to Jiang Yan as a way to say goodbye, she quickly walked upstairs, carrying her things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed by each other, Jiang Yan casually glanced at the items in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were some boxed instant noodles, a children’s book covered in mud, and what seemed like half a pack of the cheapest cigarettes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Wen Wanli had already hurried to the fire escape entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo! Wife, you’re back! Here, let me help you carry that!” It was Wang Jin’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sounded gentle and considerate, which seemed unrelated to domestic violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no response from Wen Wanli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!” The door of room 3203 shut heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan frowned slightly and continued walking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the 31st floor onward, people occasionally carried bags of luggage downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly young people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not many in number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some elderly also came out to see them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people recognized Jiang Yan, others did not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone’s focus was mostly on the cruise ship arriving soon, so they didn’t pay much attention to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ID verification and boarding window were on the 18th floor. Jiang Yan planned to go to the 20th floor but unexpectedly, the way was blocked at the 21st floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the ship wouldn’t arrive until noon, people had already lined up early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many who hadn’t boarded in the morning hadn’t left. They had stayed there, desperately clinging to their spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan had no choice but to go to the 22nd floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 22nd floor’s elevator waiting area and hallway were filled with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were probably those who had decided not to go to the official base or did not meet the criteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it was almost mealtime, two families had collaborated to start a fire to grill fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were cooking a lot, apparently preparing more than just lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very cold outside, but the temperature in the crowded areas of the hallway was still bearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, with the humidity, preservation was difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only preserve the fish by salting or drying it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the flames grew stronger, the sizzling aroma of the oil and the thick smoke began to fill the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her enter, everyone looked on guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a few people who were sitting on the ground stood up, fists clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only when they saw her stop in front of the hallway’s glass window that they relaxed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area near the hallway window was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several panes of the window had been shattered by hail earlier, and although someone had covered them with plastic bags, rainwater still occasionally seeped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor was damp and pooled with water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan looked outside, at a world submerged in water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few daring individuals were fishing in the water, but it seemed their catch was minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish and leeches appeared sporadically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water level was still rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the temperature hadn’t dropped further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, it’s twelve o’clock, why hasn’t the ship arrived?” Someone in the hallway suddenly exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with no need for work or school, and many lacking watches, phones, or computers which had long run out of power, people had lost their sense of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people lived by the sun, up at dawn, down at dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even sleeping before it got dark, still lying around at midday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like animals hibernating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minimizing movement to minimize hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saving food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that the rain is too heavy, and it won’t come?” someone wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could those words from the official old lady be a lie? I was so fired up this morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It shouldn’t be. With such heavy rain, who can be punctual? Maybe something delayed them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know. I saw Xiao Zhang and his wife waiting downstairs all morning, they said their legs were about to break.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I went downstairs earlier and heard them say they were holding their pee, afraid to leave in case their spots got taken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hopefully the ship will come. If it does, we can move into room 2204.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, right, if we can’t board the ship, all our plans to move into 2204 will be ruined. Maybe we should ask them to let us stay there too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spit, spit, spit, don’t speak ill, just wait calmly and see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the hallway were those not going to the official base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone was quite interested in whether the cruise ship would arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, if the ship came, some people in the houses would go to the base, and they could legitimately move in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another hand, if the ship came, it would also signify that the official promises were reliable or the authorities were capable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Put simply, the ship’s arrival, despite the heavy rain, meant that the officials hadn’t abandoned them, standing firm like a stabilizing sea anchor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a word, it was a manifestation of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the ship hasn’t arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people were obviously beginning to panic inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m waiting for the ship, she doesn’t understand…” someone began to sing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, we’re better off just eating, sleeping, and singing as we please. Those people downstairs, they’re just starving as they wait for a deity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true, it’s quite possible that some people in the corridors, if the ship doesn’t arrive, might come back to find their spots gone, haha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd also had its share of schadenfreude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan crossed her arms and stood at the window for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a bad premonition: the ship, most likely, was not going to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship still hadn’t arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hope and confidence that everyone had managed to muster early this morning rapidly sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notable unrest could be heard coming from downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe we should head to the base ourselves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this heavy rain, the road is barely visible, how would we get there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, it’s like launching a rubber boat into the ocean. If anything goes wrong in the middle, the boat is done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! If only we had stayed near the Twin Towers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, those people there, they are lucky!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Life seldom gives foresight, such is fate!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-06T15:07:16.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e872443960909594c4f488d037a2594b549ab7f2806b7d8eb18d3f2fa964c2d","apocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-chapter-109","apocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-chapter-107",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-cover.jpg"]
