The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 23 Negotiating Countermeasures
Before the great flood, Yangmei was a famous white, rich and beautiful girl in Meidu Garden, and everyone was naturally familiar with her.

Yang Mei didn't expect that the two knew her. She looked a little embarrassed and said, "Yes...it's me. Don't stand outside. Come in and talk."

She first looked around the corridor and saw that there was no one else, then she opened the security door.

The expected danger did not occur, and both Ding Yan and Cai Zhi thanked politely.

Yangmei breathed a sigh of relief, reduced three steps to two, and retreated back to the living room.

Cai Zhi closed the door, and Ding Yan strode into the living room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Liang Yuan, who was fully armed, with a nail gun pointed directly at her.

Ding Yan's expression changed slightly, and she said, "We have no ill intentions."

Liang Yuan said: "Put the weapons on the table."

Ding Yan placed the fruit knife on the coffee table, stepped back a few steps, and said, "We are truly here to cooperate."

Cai Zhi also consciously put down the kitchen knife and leaned against the wall of the entrance, not going over to put pressure on Liang Yuan.

When Liang Yuan saw this scene, he began to believe the sincerity of the two.

He put away the nail gun and said to Yang Mei across the coffee table: "Sister Mei, pour them a glass of water."

Yang Mei nodded quickly: "Oh, oh, okay, okay."

She hurried into the kitchen to boil water, and Liang Yuan then asked, "Please sit down."

Ding Yan and Cai Zhi then sat down opposite the coffee table, and the two sides seemed to be discussing business.

"What's your name, young man?" Ding Yan asked.

Liang Yuan glanced at Ding Yan. This woman had always given him a special feeling.

When he asked Fan Meiqin where Liu Erlong lived, Fan Meiqin didn't know the answer. However, this woman remembered every room number of Liu Erlong. It was obvious that she was not an ordinary person.

"My name is Liang Yuan, and your name is Ding Yan, right?"

Ding Yan nodded: "I didn't expect you to remember. I'm Ding Yan, and I was originally the owner of the fourth floor."

Cai Zhi said, "You know me and Lao Ma. We were originally owners of the house below the tenth floor, but our house was flooded, so we had to move upstairs."

Liang Yuan nodded and asked, "Did you really eat the fish from the flood?"

Cai Zhi smiled bitterly: "If we didn't eat fish, we would have starved to death long ago."

Ding Yan also said: "In fact, I also saw Liu Erlong's people eating fish. Every time they guard the tenth floor, they can get a lot of fish. Every time Zhou Jiaqiang comes, he will bring two fish for me and Fan Meiqin."

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he asked, "Did you feel anything special after eating the fish?"

Cai Zhi and Ding Yan looked at each other and both shook their heads.

Ding Yan said: "If there is anything special about it, the fish meat is very filling. We can eat one fish for half a day."

Cai Zhi added: "This fish seems to be a sea fish, and it tastes salty."

Ding Yan added: "I heard from Liu Erlong's people before that there seems to be a monster under the water outside, and those who live on the water surface often go missing at night."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Those people live on the water to catch fish?"

"Not really. Most of them were forced by Liu Erlong and the others to salvage supplies and cast nets to catch fish for them."

Liang Yuan focused on learning about the mutant creatures. If even ordinary people can catch fish, then why can't he do it too?
No, maybe I don’t even have to do anything. I can just use food to exchange for mutant fish from others. In this way, can’t I accumulate points quickly?

He suppressed the surprise in his heart. At this time, Yangmei came out with tea and gave it to the three of them.

Cai Zhi asked curiously, "Yang Mei, why are you here with Brother Liang?"

Ding Yan also looked at Yang Mei, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Yang Mei blushed and panicked: "I...I..."

Seeing this, Liang Yuan stretched out his hand to hold her waist and said directly: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You know Li Zhiqiang across the street, right? That guy has run out of food and thinks Sister Mei is wasting food. He actually wants to give Sister Mei to Liu Erlong in exchange for food."

"Sister Mei has no choice but to come to me for help. You'll live with me from now on." Cai Zhi was stunned and said, "Li Zhiqiang... is he that kind of person?"

Ding Yan was not surprised and said to Yang Mei, "Sister Mei, you were right to leave Li Zhiqiang. At a time like this, only those who dare to fight and fight can protect their women."

Yang Mei looked embarrassed and lowered her head without saying a word.

Liang Yuan didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he asked, "What are your plans?"

Cai Zhi said: "I plan to find a few more people, not too many, as long as we can get a dozen or twenty people, we won't have to worry about Liu Erlong and the others."

"Liu Erlong's core personnel are actually only about twenty people, and most of them are coerced by him. They may not really be willing to work for him."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, this method is good.

He thought for a moment and said, "Can you find someone?"

Cai Zhi nodded and said seriously: "If it was a month ago, I wouldn't have dared to guarantee it, but in the past month, the floods have become more and more serious, and everyone is lacking more and more things. Many people can't survive."

"Moreover, Liu Erlong and his gang have been going too far this month, especially since they recently started sweeping the building, stealing things from every floor. I believe many people have long been unable to bear it, and they just lack a leader."

Ding Yan said: "They have harmed countless single women this month, but they still don't dare to attack women with families. But if they continue like this, I don't think they can endure it for much longer."

"I believe that other owners, unless they are stupid, will not tolerate this."

Liang Yuan looked at the two people in front of him and was somewhat surprised at their courage.

In the steel jungle of the city, even without a major flood, people's moral standards are not necessarily high.

In fact, most people have the mentality of minding their own business, and they rarely visit their next-door neighbors.

It is not as easy as saying it to unite a group of people.

Liang Yuan asked himself if he could do such a thing.

He immediately said, "Okay, I agree to join you. What do you need me to do?"

Cai Zhi and Ding Yan were immediately delighted and looked at each other.

Cai Zhi said: "Actually, I don't have any needs. The main reason is that I am worried about my family."

"Brother Liang, if possible, I hope to settle my family and Lao Ma's family, so that we can do things without worries."

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows immediately: "What do you mean, Brother Cai?"

Cai Zhi immediately realized that Liang Yuan had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "What I mean is, can we find a way to snatch back some rooms from Liu Erlong first, preferably ones that are closer to each other so that it is convenient for us to take care of each other."

When Liang Yuan heard this, his expression became a little better.

He thought the other party would let his wife and children live in his own home.

Then he would definitely disagree. After all, the two parties had just started cooperating and the level of trust was limited.

Liang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have any rooms you like?"

"On the 28th floor, I know there is a room there that belongs to Liu Erlong." Ding Yan said immediately.

Cai Zhi shook his head and said, "The 28th floor is a bit far from the 32nd floor. It would be best if we could be together, door to door, or up and down the stairs."

Ding Yan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I have an idea."

"You said."

"How about 3202 across the way?"

As soon as Ding Yan finished speaking, Cai Zhi and Liang Yuan were both stunned.

Subconsciously, everyone turned their attention to Yang Mei standing nearby.

Yang Mei's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, 3202, that was her home.
