Chapter 84 Investigate the horror(1/2)
[Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City]
When the security guard knocked on the door, Youxi’s family of three were eating crayfish.
She wanted to nibble on it last night, but when she remembered, the family had already had dinner. You Feng and Fan Qi are old and pay attention to health. Even if they eat late night snacks, they will not eat such strong food.
You Xi remembered this and took it out during lunch today. Fan Qi likes crayfish, and You Feng doesn't object to it. You Xi took out two boxes, one salt and pepper flavor and one Thirteen Spicy slightly spicy, because they bought them at that time
It’s the largest portion, so each box weighs five kilograms.
Fan Qi felt that the three of them would not be able to finish ten pounds of food, so she took two bowls, poured half of each out, and asked You Xi to put the rest back into the star house to keep it fresh.
The three people on the left and right had nothing to do, and planned to watch TV while eating. You Xi wanted to choose a Republican drama that Fan Qi liked, but in the end, at Fan Qi's insistence, she chose a famous tsunami disaster movie.
Because she remembered You Xi saying that the first world she went to had the disaster of a tsunami.
The movie is very exciting and touching, and the crayfish are also very delicious. Each one has a plump yellow color, and the shrimp meat is firm and elastic. The three of them unknowingly finished five kilograms, and took out the remaining five kilograms.
It took two hours to finish the meal.
When she heard the knock on the door, Fan Qi was afraid that she would smell, so she washed her hands and rinsed her mouth before answering the door.
She glanced at the peephole, probably because she was afraid that the other party would see what was going on in the house, so she opened the door and walked out directly. You Xi and You Feng followed closely behind, washed their hands and mouth, and went to the door.
The security guard's surname was Zhang. He had already told Fan Qi the general purpose of his visit. There were three of them. They originally wanted to make a phone call, but later decided to go there in person in different areas. The main reason was to collect statistics on the current residents of the building at the same time.
, how many people are there in total, how many adults and how many children.
This will make it easier to count if someone is not present next time, or if someone votes to make some decisions.
Also, whoever has a pet must report what they have.
This point is more important than personnel reporting - they completely ignored this point yesterday, and only discovered the importance of this matter today after being reminded by a resident.
After all, many animals and plants outside have mutated, and I am afraid that the cats, dogs, turtles, and goldfish raised by others will also... After statistics, the subsequent arrangements will have to be voted on.
The building has a total of eighteen floors. The first to tenth floors are ordinary units, and the eleventh to eighteenth floors are high-ceiling duplexes. There are three units on each floor. There are large units on the left and right that run from north to south, and smaller units in the middle.
There are 54 households in total, and each security guard is responsible for 18 households on six floors. They all take the elevator to go upstairs first, and then go down one floor to count.
He had already traveled three floors before this, but nine households on the 16th to 18th floors said they would not participate for the time being. It was only the second day after the incident, and many people had a lot of food at home. This was at the forefront of the crisis, and even the officials were frequently calling for a temporary suspension.
Staying indoors, they naturally don't want to venture out.
Security guard Xiao Zhang knew that such a house would become more expensive as the floors went up, especially the top floors. Those who could afford it had money, and they would have already stocked up on supplies and other supplies.
Most of the tenants who were in mood swings and wanted to leave were those on the first to eighth floors. They were all young white-collar workers or couples who had not yet given birth to children, and did not have the habit of stocking up on large quantities of goods.
The household in the middle of the fifteenth floor has temporarily moved downstairs, and the household on the right has also indicated that it will not participate for the time being. Seeing Fan Qi now, he guessed that their family will not participate either.
After all, just two or three days ago, he saw their family running up and down the elevator more than ten times to get takeout supplies. Each time, the elevator was filled with everything from fresh food to snacks to canned goods.
His main purpose was to do a personnel statistics. After Fan Qi finished writing down the personnel and signing their names, You Xi spoke next to him: "When you form this team, do you want to go to the supermarket or the property building?"
Their building is located almost in the middle of the south side of the entire community. The supermarket is on the right when exiting the building, and the property building is on the left.
The supermarket is nearby, and the property building is opposite the swimming pool and located on the north side of the community. You have to cross the entire community to get there.
You Xi asked about the key point. Everyone who wanted to go out now planned to go to the supermarket, but the property building was in the opposite direction of the supermarket.
"Unless someone is willing to go to the property management building with you, then once the team is formed, won't it be the three of you who go to the property management building in the end?"
"..."
"Let's do this. After you go back, discuss it with the others and confirm whether anyone is willing to go to the property with you. Regardless of whether there is anyone or not, if you three still decide to go there, remember to inform me." You Xi doesn't want to wait.
The other party asked and then explained, and said directly: "I have won the provincial martial arts championship."
The other party's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly and said yes.
After the three of them returned to the house, Fan Qi grabbed her daughter and said, "Do you want to go to the property management building?"
"I want to check the situation of the entire community. You also know what happened in the small garden before. If there are really troublesome plants or animals, we will move them."
"move place?"
"Yes, moving. The Star House has a portable function and can be moved. It just costs money."
Both of them were surprised: "How to move?"
"Choose a new location and space, pay directly, and move instantly. When you move, you will take all the things and people inside with you. In other words, you can stay there all the time, and I will take you to your new home.
"
Just like a hardworking snail carrying its home, it places its home wherever it goes.
You Xi had thought about it early on. At present, her parents' physical fitness has not improved yet, so they have to be careful first. After they have taken the second or even third [Powerful Anti-sugar Pill], she can take them out.
Got some practice.
Looking at the development of the end of the world, the planet will become a world of plants and animals in the future. It is not impossible to stay in the star house all the time, but she still hopes that they will slowly gain the ability to protect themselves.
After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. Who knows whether the Star House will always exist?
An hour later, the security guard unlocked the lobby entrance door with a key, and two waves of people filed out.
The distance from here to the supermarket is not much different whether you walk on the ground or in the underground parking lot. The reason those people used the underground garage yesterday was because other residents and security guards were unwilling to unlock it.
The situation is different today, the security guard himself has to go out.
The two parties have discussed that when going out, they go directly through the gate. When they come back, due to time differences and other issues, the supermarket team goes directly to the underground parking lot, and the security team continues to go through the gate.
After all, the three security guards still had some sense. Despite repeated requests, they still refused to leave without locking the door.
In such a residential building, you only need to press the password to enter the door. Now after the security locks the door, neither the people inside nor the people outside can open the door if they press the password.
They are responsible for the other residents in the building. If the other residents do not close the door after they come back and some mutated animals run in, they cannot bear the responsibility.
There are two roads to the property from here, one turns left directly, detours from the left side of the swimming pool, passes through the green park and basketball court, and then arrives at the building opposite the swimming pool. The property is located on the third and fourth floors of that building.
layer.
The other way is to turn right, first pass by the supermarket, then go around the right side of the swimming pool, pass by the chess and card building and another green fitness park, and arrive at the property.
Go directly to the left, which is nearly half the distance closer than the right.
In the whole building, except for You Xi, who was wearing a mask and was forced to put on protective clothing by Fan Qi, everyone else went directly to the supermarket.
There were four people on one side and more than a dozen people on the other side. The difference in numbers was huge. Those people couldn't help but look at You Xi who was following the security guard.
You Xi had made an agreement with several security guards before. She was willing to accompany them there, but she didn't want other residents to know about her martial arts skills. She had experienced so many apocalypses and knew the source of some troubles very well.
It was around 3:30 in the afternoon, and the sky outside the building was as clear and blue as the sea. Even with the mask on, You Xi could feel the freshness of the air.
Some voices on the Internet now say that after several recent disasters, the planet's environment is getting better and better. Those disasters are like bacteria that appear to fight viruses when a person is sick.
Bacteria are harmless to animals and plants, and can even promote evolution, but they are extremely unfriendly to humans (so far), just like treating humans as viruses on the planet.
This planet seemed to suddenly come to life, silently driving away humans in its own way.
You Xi fell all the way behind three security guards. All three of them wore protective clothing, masks and gloves issued by the previous property management, and also held several bottles of insecticide.
When passing the Green Plant Park, the three of them became obviously nervous and tried to lean on the outer path of the swimming pool area. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. The park was still the same as before, and there were no strange trees or flowers.
There was an iron fence around the basketball court, and there were no trees around it, so it was clear at a glance. After that, the building where the property is located came into view of several people.
The entire swimming pool area is very quiet, the water in the pool is clear, there are no mutated plants around, and there is not a single bug or strange creature in sight.
The four people walked into the small building in front of them. There were only four floors here and there was no elevator. They went up the stairs and arrived at the property management office area. The entire third and fourth floors totaled about three to four hundred square meters, including the property management warehouse, office, and reception.
The area, rest area, and restaurant are all here.
This used to be a sales office, so the decoration is stylish and simple, with many windows, making it very bright inside.
Because there is no entrance hall in the townhouse area and there is no need for security guards to be on duty, in the property building, in addition to the director of the property office, the security captain, the accountant, two people from the maintenance and greening department, and several community cleaners, there will always be two or more people left in the property building every time.
Three security guards are responsible for that area and the gate of the community.
Since it was night when the accident happened outside, the director, accountant, security team leader and others were off work, so only two security guards and one maintenance staff would be left here in case of emergencies.
But the three security guards searched all the rooms and found no one.
They were low-level staff and did not know the director's number. However, the security captain got in touch and asked them to hold on. He was already in contact with the property company to see what to do.
Although they are security guards, they are not actually from the property management company, that is, they are external employees. In the current situation, they don’t know what to do. After all, they are just working part-time. If the situation at home is not okay for the time being, they would have been there long ago.
He ran back.
I was just afraid that if I ran away, my superiors would hold me accountable and I would lose my job, so I still persisted.
"Forget it, let's go back first if there's no one around. Go back and contact people in other buildings, and then we'll call the captain." The three of them still felt uneasy outside and planned to go back.
You Xi suddenly felt something strange. There was... wind in the building?
She checked several rooms, and finally saw a large open window in the lounge. This window faced north and was on the fourth floor. She could clearly see the opposite wall and the gate guard box diagonally opposite.
There is a driveway and a wooden promenade seating area between the two places.
On the top of the corridor, strings of purple-white petals hang among the green branches and leaves. From a distance, they look densely packed like a string of butterflies.
"Is that a wisteria flower?" You Xi asked the three of them.
"Well, the Wisteria Flower Corridor is a famous check-in spot in our community." Security guard Xiao Zhang deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone in order to lighten the atmosphere.
You Xi frowned slightly, and turned her attention to the gate and the guard box. The guard box was too small, and she knew that no one was left at night, and the entrance and exit were monitored anyway.
To be continued...
