Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 65 - : Give Priority to Miss Jiang
Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Give Priority to Miss Jiang
Sun Jingtao lived on a higher floor, where the impact was not so noticeable.
But those remaining owners involved in “defending their rights” were almost all lying on mats in the lower hallway, where the experience was very direct and intense.
They could hardly spend every day in a panic and vomiting at the sight of decaying corpses, so they unanimously raised their hands and voted against it.
3202 was actually vacant, but it was adjacent to Jiang Yan’s living room, and Sun Jingtao was afraid it might have a bad influence on her.
The others were even more apprehensive of Jiang Yan.
If she became unhappy with their way of handling things, it wasn’t impossible for her to come out and give them a “bang”—a bullet of her own.
As for He Chunmei’s home, it was clear that it was livable, but they could not use it.
So they simply moved the bodies and limbs to the 31st floor first, planning to burn them all when they found kerosene.
Anyway, it was raining heavily outside every day, and the power had been out for a long time, so there was no fear of the floors catching fire or anything.
Additionally, when Ye Qing interrogated Guan Sanqiang earlier, he had confessed that among the supplies stored on the 17th floor by Liu Dahong and his group, there were a few barrels of kerosene in 1000ml containers.
Although it was just a temporary storage of the corpses for a few days, the four households on the 31st floor were clearly opposed.
However, they also heard and even quietly witnessed from the crack of the door the gruesome incident upstairs. In the end, besides stubbornly saying some threats like “Hurry up and handle it, or you will see what’s coming to you,” they could do nothing about it.

Most of the bloodstains on the tiles and walls of the 32nd floor had already dried.
The water had been shut off a long time ago, so there was no way to wash the floors.
Sun Jingtao simply went to He Chunmei’s bathroom and found a dirty cotton mop, wet it with rainwater from the window, and quickly mopped the corridor.
The mop was soon stained red with fresh blood.
Ye Qing simply tore off the bedsheets from He Chunmei’s master bedroom and followed Sun Jingtao’s wet mop. Holding the sheet down with his feet, he wiped the bloodstains clean.
The bloodstains on the floor tiles were significantly reduced, but at a glance, the entire 32nd floor still looked like hell on earth.
Su Dai, who had been cautiously observing from inside her home, came out now.
The scene witnessed through the peephole, and the sensation of being in the midst of it with the pungent smell of blood, were clearly different.
Su Dai covered her mouth, retching, wanting to turn back, but seeing her husband still busy in the pool of blood, she gritted her teeth and bore the discomfort, quickly walking toward him.
The couple, like survivors of a calamity, embraced each other tightly without a word.
The others unintentionally got a dose of public affection, instantly feeling full despite their previously empty stomachs.
Even those who lost their wives in the Blood Mosquito incident began to silently miss their nagging but good-cooking spouses.
“Brother Tao, what do we do now?” Seeing Su Dai emerge from Sun Jingtao’s embrace with tearful eyes, the polite bespectacled man finally asked.
He was Tian Jiliang, formerly an investor for a local listed company in Anming.
The leaderless crowd looked at Sun Jingtao with confused and hopeful faces, like headless flies.
“We don’t do much, everyone goes back to their own homes, to their own mothers,” Sun Jingtao said, looking down at his wife’s worried eyes, speaking in a calm tone.
Previously, due to the urgency and principle, he had no choice but to take the lead.
But now, after experiencing the reality of life and death once again, he just wanted to go home with his wife and have a good reunion.
As for being the leader, he really had no interest in it.
The crowd exchanged glances for a second: “…”
“Brother Tao, why don’t we strike while the iron is hot and find Liu Dahong’s supply cache? Be careful of long nights that breed more dreams,” Ye Qing said, his eyes cold as he suddenly addressed the crowd.
In his daily life, he was actually not one to talk much.
But deep down, he was very clear about many things.
They had all heard about the property management secretly hoarding supplies.
If they didn’t go now, it would not be guaranteed that someone else wouldn’t sneak there later.
Anyway, people in the building now had nothing but time.
Going floor by floor, they would eventually find it.
Others quickly reacted to his words: “Right, right, Brother Tao, supplies are important, take us with you!”
There are no walls in the world that don’t have leaks.
People’s minds are inscrutable on ordinary days, not to mention in this apocalyptic environment.
They didn’t know when the rainstorm would stop; having even a little more supplies meant a little more hope for survival.
Although everyone was living very hard now, and many even wanted to just die,
who could really face death lightly and calmly when it came down to it?
And today, they had fought for their lives to take down the property management people.
No matter how you looked at it, they deserved the proximity to the supplies and the favorable position.
The first ones to merit the supplies were themselves.
Sun Jingtao, listening to Ye Qing’s words, pondered for a second.
“Go ahead, husband, I think Xiao Ye is right,” Su Dai said, urging him as she saw her husband’s furrowed brows.
Sun Jingtao thought for a few seconds, sighed, and said, “Alright then.”
A team quickly and vigorously made their way to the 17th floor, where the property management stored their supplies.
The door lock was soon pried open.
When they opened the door, everyone was stunned.
Liu Dahong obviously lied to Jiang Yan by giving her false hopes.
Thankfully, she was wise enough not to be deceived.
The so-called storeroom of supplies was actually just half a bedroom’s worth of stock.
There were six cases of canned bread, eight cases of bagged White Sugar, twenty cases of braised beef flavor instant noodles, five cases of dehydrated Beef Jerky, ten cases of meat cans, eight cases of dehydrated vegetables, seven cases of dehydrated fruits, eight cases of compressed biscuits, and thirty small bottles of drinking mineral water.
The rest, like ready-to-eat rice, Snickers bars, and self-heating hot pots, had already gone bad from leaking in the high temperatures.
People were somewhat indignant, wishing they could drag Liu Dahong and his people’s bodies out for whipping.
The property managers would rather let these supplies spoil here than keep hiding them, truly showing a black-hearted and cruel nature to the bone.
After all, during the previous high temperatures underground, they were so short of water they even resorted to drinking urine.
Sun Jingtao scanned the supplies and said:
“I personally suggest that we take one of each item and give it to Miss Jiang in 3201. The rest of us can divide the remaining equally, how does that sound?
After all, if it wasn’t for her today, many things wouldn’t have ended up this way.”
The others were naturally reluctant inside because it meant that they would get even less for themselves.
After all, they had many mouths to feed at home, with both old and young waiting to be nourished.
And that Miss Jiang, clearly looking well-off in every aspect, appeared unconcerned about food and clothing, as if it was none of her business.
But as Sun Jingtao said, the victory and acquisition of the supplies were indeed closely related to Jiang Yan.
And among those present, it was Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing who were the strongest fighters, and they seemed to be on the same side.
So, although people had their complaints, no one dared to voice their opposition.
It was Tian Jiliang who pushed his glasses up and spoke with a look of worry:
“Brother Tao, I agree with this division. However, although she wore a mask today that covered her face, her complexion and state seemed far superior to ours.
Her home must be well-prepared, probably lacking nothing and disdaining these common supplies.”
“Yeah, I bet she wouldn’t even want these, I haven’t even heard of these food brands before,” others nodded in agreement.
Sun Jingtao didn’t wait for them to finish speaking and raised his hand to interrupt:
“Whether she wants them is her business, but whether we give them and show our intention and attitude is ours.”
