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

Chapter 34 Going Downstairs
"Uncle Li went downstairs. I don't know what happened downstairs. The residents downstairs kept screaming." Zhang Pingping said with an uneasy look on her face.

There were screams not only downstairs, but also from several nearby buildings. It was so scary to hear such frightening sounds in the middle of the night.

"Maybe something happened. Auntie, please lock the door. No matter what noise comes from outside, don't open the door casually."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Jiaoyang handed her the knife in his hand, "This is for your self-defense."

Seeing the knife in her hand, Zhang Pingping's pupils shrank. Where did the knife in Jiaojiao's hand come from?

And Jiaojiao even took out a knife. How dangerous is the thing outside?
Thinking that my husband also brought a knife with him when he went out, he would definitely be fine.

Zhang Pingping finished consoling herself and then replied to Zhou Jiaoyang's words, "Keep it for yourself for self-defense. I have the knife prepared by your Uncle Li at home."

Zhou Jiaoyang retracted his hand after hearing this.

"Auntie, close the door. I'll go downstairs and take a look."

Zhang Pingping grabbed the man and said disapprovingly: "You're a woman, don't go down there."

The continued screams below proved that the danger had not passed yet.

Zhou Jiaoyang understood that someone cared about her. She smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I have a knife."

"It won't work even with a knife. Who knows what happened next? What if it's something we women can't handle?"

The husband truly regards the girl in front of him as his daughter. He knows that it is not safe down there, so how can he still watch her go down there?

"Jiaojiao, we are ready."

"Auntie, look, I have company. You don't have to worry about me. Just make sure to close the door."

Zhou Jiaoyang used some strength to push the person into the house and closed the door.

Seeing her persistence, Zhang Pingping thought that her husband would be optimistic about her, so she stopped trying to persuade her.

After spending a lot of time on the 35th floor, Yan Jin and Bai Hua arrived at the iron gate two minutes ahead of them.

Yan Lei and the others were already standing there with their own weapons. They didn't know what was going on downstairs, so they were waiting for the others upstairs to come over so they could go down and see the situation together.

Yan Jin didn't see his wife here, so he guessed that she should go find her two little sisters.

Now that he didn't have a knife in his hand, he stood at the back of the crowd, hoping to get another knife from his wife later.

Zhou Jiaoyang had many knives in his space that he had taken out before. They had ordered them from rural towns after they returned to China.

A thousand of this model were ordered. Of course, for speed and quality, they divided the order among more than a dozen private blacksmith shops.

Planting crops in rural areas requires iron farm tools, so every town has one or two blacksmith shops.

If you give a lot of money, people will accept it immediately.

The two of them also bought all the woodchopping knives and butchering knives that others had in stock.

Yan Lei asked hesitantly, "Would you like to open the door and see what's going on below?"

Xiang Ke on the side twitched the corner of his mouth and said mockingly: "Aren't you afraid that those people will take the opportunity to run up?"

Those people had just come up to make a fuss in the morning, and now he didn't know what happened down there. He was worried that those people would make trouble again on the grounds that it was not safe down there, and wanted to move up here.

Not to mention anything else, with an additional iron door, there is an extra layer of security.

"Haha. That's what I said." Yan Lei shrank back.Bai Hua glanced at Yan Jin first and saw that he was just standing behind him without any intention of persuading him. This was not the same as the anxious look upstairs just now.

But thinking about his own share of the food supplies on the 33rd floor, and thinking about the rats A Jin mentioned, Bai Hua couldn't wait any longer and stepped forward.

"It's better to go down and take a look. If something really happens, we will face it sooner or later if we live in the same building."

Judging from A Jin's performance, Bai Hua knew that A Jin didn't want to do this.

Thinking about the situation he told himself again, no one knew it, but Ajin told him, was it because he believed in himself more?

Everyone thought Bai Hua was right, so Li Jing took out the iron door key and opened the door.

When Zhou Jiaoyang and her two sisters came down, she was walking in front and saw that Yan Jin's hands were empty. She couldn't bring out the knife in front of everyone at this time.

Just at this time, she heard them opening the iron door. Her attention was not on her side. She quickened her pace and came to Yan Jin's side in a few quick steps. Taking advantage of the gap between the two of them, she took out another big knife. Come out and put it into his hand.

All this was done in two seconds, and no one even noticed whether they had weapons in their hands before.

"Why are you down here?" Xiang Ke's eyes swept across Wang Xinyi and finally landed on Zhou Jiaoyang.

"It may be dangerous down there. It's safer for you to go upstairs." He reminded with a frown.

Why did a few women come over to join in the fun in the middle of the night?
Zhou Jiaoyang silently raised the sword in his hand.

Xiang Yan: Is it great to have a sword?He has too.

He glanced at the watermelon knife in his hand and frowned involuntarily.

"Wow, sister-in-law, you actually have such good weapons." Yan Lei looked at the knives in Zhou Jiaoyang's hands with envy and regretted, "Why can't I remember to buy some good weapons?" Where at home?"

Zhou Jiaoyang's mouth twitched.

After the door opened, Li Jing went out first, and Chen Yue came out last. She locked the iron door again.

As they walked, Yan Jin came to the front, while Zhou Jiaoyang fell to the back.

No one noticed anything wrong with this small change.

It's not like no one noticed it. Bai Hua noticed it, but his attention was always on Yan Jin and he didn't notice Zhou Jiaoyang.

When he reached the stairs on the 28th floor, Yan Jin paused, and the people behind him also stopped.

Those screams came from the homes on the 27th and 28th floors, and were accompanied by chirping, slapping, and the sound of men cursing.

However, the doors of the rooms on the 29th to 32nd floors they walked along were closed tightly, and no sound was made.

Not to mention coming down to help, they didn't even open the door to take a look. It was really cold.

Not as good as these new residents.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard one after another, followed by the sound of running. It was the person from the 27th floor coming up.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, everyone saw clearly that the only people coming were old people, women and children, all of whom were disheveled.

Only Yan Jin and Zhou Jiaoyang, whose eyes had been enhanced, could clearly see that their feet were stained with blood.

After those people ran out of the house, they ran towards the bright light. They had gone upstairs to ask for help. When they saw them standing at the stairs with weapons in their hands, their eyes suddenly lit up.
