Cambrian Returns: A Couple Stocks Up to Survive in the End of the World!

Chapter 31 The First Conflict

"What's going on?" Li Jing asked in a deep voice with a stern face.

"They want to tear down our iron gate and come up." Yan Lei said angrily.

Several people frowned and looked at the dozen or so people outside the iron gate.

Li Jing asked: "What do you mean by this? Since we moved here, we have never offended you."

"You open the door and let us move upstairs, and we won't tear it down." A strong man said in a rough voice.

"I've told you that there are no more vacant houses for you to live in. Where else do you want to move to?"

"How could it not be possible? Neither the 33rd floor nor the 38th floor has been sold. What are those empty houses?" The strong man was still talking.

"That's right, the house above doesn't belong to you. Why do you want to build an iron gate here to block us from going up there?"

"Ah"

The sudden mocking sound attracted everyone's attention.

It was Xiang Yan. He leaned lazily against the iron railing, the sarcastic smile on his lips never falling, "I'll tell you why?"

Everyone: This smile is so mean, I really want to hit someone.

"That's because those houses were spotted by us."

How could someone say such shameless words in such a high-sounding way?

"You, you, you" the strong man was so angry that he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Daping."

A gentle male voice sounded from behind everyone. When the strong man heard this voice, his originally angry expression changed and he calmed down.

Yan Jin was just wondering who had such strong prestige that he could calm people down just by calling his name, when the person opposite him made way for him.

A 35-year-old man wearing black-rimmed glasses walked calmly to the iron gate.

This person looked sanctimonious on the outside, but Yan Jin felt otherwise. This person looked like a polite scum.

The inadvertent flash of light in the other person's eyes can prove that this person is not as harmless as he appears.

"Mr. Qin Huacheng, what do you mean?"

Bai Hua and others were surprised when they saw the person coming.

Qin Huacheng had gone out to collect supplies with them before. Bai Hua admired this man's leadership skills. It was because of his presence that Bai Hua lent Yan Jin's rubber boat to him and left it to him to arrange it.

What Bai Hua didn't expect was that this person was also involved in today's farce. It seemed that his vision was not good either. He really misjudged him.

"Mr. Bai Hua, it's like this. You have also seen that the water level has risen again this morning. Everyone is worried that the water level will not go down for a while, but will rise again. They are very worried about their own safety, and you are also worried about the houses upstairs. If there are not enough people to live in, let’s see if a few families can live on the 33rd floor?”

Qinhua City was also very helpless. Several families came to him and asked to move to the 33rd floor. He did not agree. Now that the rain has stopped, the water level will only rise for a short period of time. I believe it will go down soon. , there is no need to move to the 33rd floor.

To be honest, he didn’t want to offend the new residents upstairs. Let’s not talk about the clothes of these people. At first glance, he only knew that their identities were unusual. He said that they had helped them a few days ago and took out a rubber boat. Collect supplies for them, and they shouldn't come to make trouble.

Alas. However, these people were determined to move up, but he was unable to stop them, so he could only follow them up.

Although he thought so, he actually had a little thought of his own. If the residents upstairs were easy to talk to and willing to open the door, it would be good for him. The house on the 38th floor was currently empty.

Bai Hua frowned, "Didn't the water level only reach the 23rd floor? Now that the rain has stopped, the water level will not rise much further. The houses on the 24th to 32nd floors are more than enough for all of you residents."

"Now it is indeed enough for everyone to live in, but" Qin Huacheng made an embarrassed expression. "There are so many of us. The house on the 33rd floor is already occupied by people. There are no extra houses for you to live in. I'm sorry."

Since he doesn't understand, he should speak more bluntly.

"The house on the 33rd floor is not your house, why do you let people live in it?" one person asked unjustly.

As soon as this man's words came out, Qin Huacheng knew that it would be impossible for the group of people upstairs to open the iron door today.

"If it's not ours, does it belong to you?" Fatty Bai replied unceremoniously.

The man who just spoke had a choked expression, and when the dozen or so men around him glared at him, he lowered his head in shame.

"Sorry for disturbing you, we'll go down right away." Qin Huacheng turned around and pulled away those who made the loudest noises. Seeing this, the others also left one after another.

Those people went downstairs and followed Qin Huacheng into his home.

"Brother Cheng, let's just forget it?" the strong man from before said unwillingly.

Qin Huacheng asked with a gloomy face, "What else?"

Seeing his gloomy face, everyone didn't dare to gibber any more.

"I also went up to find those people at your request. They are not willing to open the iron door to let you go up and live. I have no choice. Let's forget it. The water level has reached the 23rd floor. You should seize the time to move to the 27th floor. It’s too late and the water level will rise again, so don’t come to me to complain then.”

Everyone couldn't help but panic after hearing his words.

"Brother Cheng, will the water level really rise again?"

"I don't know either. Just in case, they'd better move quickly."

"Those people upstairs are too cold-blooded. How can they be so selfish?"

"Brother Cheng, we have more people than them. There is no need to be afraid of them. Why don't we gather more people and go to those people upstairs to ask for an explanation, or we can exchange houses with them."

One person curled his lips and said, "You think the people upstairs are fools."

"What if?"

Crowd: ...

Qin Huacheng rolled his eyes at them and said calmly: "They have just helped us before. I will not do such ungrateful things."

Are you really stupid to think that everyone else downstairs is as ungrateful as you?

If they were ungrateful, they would have just followed him upstairs to crusade.

While everyone was ashamed, they felt that he was worthy of being Brother Cheng, and his heart was open.

"Okay, you all go back and move." Qin Huacheng waved weakly to everyone.

After everyone left, he immediately took a pair of rubber gloves from the coffee table and put them on. Then he collected the sofa covers one by one in disgust and threw them into the utility room.

Looking at the pile of sofa covers piled high in the utility room, Qin Huacheng's eyes were gloomy. There was no water or electricity. Looking at these things made him feel annoyed.

Or... just throw it away?
But I don’t have much inventory at home, and I don’t know when I can buy it again in the future.

Qinhua City has a serious mysophobia, and these sofa covers have been piled up in the past ten days.
