Back inside, Shi Jinwei turned her attention downstairs.

After eating a quick bite, she put on her raincoat, opened a window, and looked down.

The moment she opened the window, a gust of wind and torrential rain made her face tremble, and she almost fell over.

Quickly regaining her balance, Shi Jinwei cautiously peeked out and discovered that quite a few people were indeed rowing things out downstairs.

Some used kayaks, some used large plastic basins, and some people were even more ingenious.

They tied some empty mineral water bottles and beverage bottles together to make a simple raft and rowed off.

The atmosphere was quite friendly; everyone was courteous and there was no fighting.

But because she was standing high up, she could see a much farther view.

This window faces the main street outside the residential area, and many shops across the street have already been broken into.

Two people were even fighting over something in the water when one of them suddenly became ruthless and smashed something at the other person's head.

Instantly, blood gushed out, and the man was knocked unconscious and sank into the water.

The man who had snatched the items didn't linger; he quickly drove away, skimming across the wooden plank.

The people around just watched indifferently, and no one dared to step forward.

-------------------------------------

Shi Jinwei knew that the world was beginning to descend into chaos.

She turned away and stopped paying attention, wanting only to lie low and wait until the day she could clear the game.

I had just changed out of my wet clothes when I heard a loud banging on the door, as if something was pounding on it.

Shi Jinwei frowned, grabbed an iron rod, and went outside.

The iron bars were asked for by the installer when the security door was installed. There were five in total; one was used to block the door, and she still had four left.

Using a watermelon knife directly would be too conspicuous, so she kept it in her storage space.

You can escape whenever you need to.

The banging was coming from the security door.

Looking through the peephole, she saw an old woman, two middle-aged men and women, and a small child standing outside the security door.

She didn't respond, she just watched.

The old woman banging on the door didn't stop; she started shouting, "Open the door! Guard the door! I'm from downstairs. I know there's an empty apartment on this floor. We want to move in. Guard the door!"

They were self-righteous and unscrupulous.

Even though Shi Jinwei had seen shameless people before, she was still surprised by the old lady's attitude.

She didn't want to open the door, but the other person seemed determined to keep knocking.

The building isn't completely in chaos yet, and if this isn't addressed, it won't be a long-term problem.

He simply picked up the stick and opened the door.

The old lady was thrilled to see that it was a little girl, but before she could speak, Shi Jinwei interrupted her.

She slammed her stick against the safety door, making an even louder noise, and was quite pleased to see the old lady flinch in fright.

"What's all the noise about? Disturbing the peace so early in the morning?" He stared sharply into the other person's eyes, his face full of displeasure.

The old lady hadn't expected the little girl to have this attitude, and she was a bit taken aback.

He quickly turned around to look at the middle-aged man and woman behind him.

The woman quickly stepped forward: "Young lady, we live on the third floor. You know the situation right now, the third floor is too unsafe, so we want to move upstairs. We know the apartment next door is empty, and we want to move in there."

As she spoke, she deliberately pulled the child over, attempting to appeal to his emotions.

But Shi Jinwei remained unmoved, not even glancing at the children: "You think you can just move in like that? Is this your house? Besides, even if I let you up, do you have a key? How would you open the door?"

The woman was stunned when she heard her say that; who would have thought of the key at this point?

"Hey, young lady. Whether we have the key or not is our business. Get out of the way." The old lady thought she had given in and tried to push her away.

Shi Jinwei immediately held the stick horizontally in front of her: "Don't come any closer, this stick doesn't have eyes. Now that someone is injured, they can't even go to the hospital."

As he spoke, he even bounced his toe around in a rather smug manner, behaving like a hoodlum.

The man who hadn't spoken until now finally said, "Young lady, we can pay you. How about it? Ten thousand a month, I'll rent it to you."

"No, the house isn't mine, I won't take this money."

"If it's not yours, why are you stopping us?" The old lady seized on the loophole in her words.

She swung the stick again: "I live on this floor. If you have nothing else to do, get out of here. At this time, I won't go easy on you, not even a child, let alone an old person."

After speaking, he gave a cold look at the little boy the woman was holding.

The little boy was already somewhat afraid of this fierce-looking older sister, and when she looked at him like that, he was so frightened that he burst into tears.

This completely diverted the attention of the elderly woman and her husband, who then hurriedly went to soothe the child.

Seeing this, Shi Jinwei immediately closed the door and locked it in front of them, leaving the family of four gritting their teeth in anger and feeling helpless.

Although neither side had a valid point, Shi Jinwei was more skilled and won decisively.

The people who went out to find supplies returned in the afternoon.

Shi Jinwei was standing by the window and happened to see that there were about twenty people when they went out, but less than half of them came back.

Moreover, there wasn't much on the ship.

About an hour later, cries and screams began to be heard from inside the building.

It seems that he knows his family will never come back, and he is venting his emotions in this way.

Shi Jinwei listened without any emotional reaction.

This is just a game, and all she has to do is survive in the game.

Perhaps because she was overthinking, Shi Jinwei had a series of nightmares all night.

When I woke up in the morning, it was still pouring rain outside. Looking out the window, I saw that the water level had risen above the second floor and was approaching the third floor, probably exceeding five meters.

Even so, there were many more people going out today than yesterday.

Seemingly inspired, all sorts of homemade manned vehicles have sprung up all over the water.

She even saw someone put a low, four-legged table upside down in the water, and people who sat on it floated up.

Once again amazed by everyone's imaginative ideas, Shi Jinwei started eating.

On the third day of the power outage, her last vegetables were starting to wilt, and she was going to use them up today.

There was no electricity, but the natural gas was still on. I took out a hot pot base, put all the vegetables and meat into the pot together, and made a simple hot pot.

Enjoying a hot pot meal in this weather is simply delightful.

With a devout heart, Shi Jinwei quickly finished the food.

To prevent the heat from seeping into the corridor through the door cracks, she deliberately left the window slightly ajar.

It was raining and windy outside, so everyone kept their windows tightly closed.

The scent slowly dissipates without worrying about being smelled.

For the next twenty days or so, she will not be able to enjoy these delicacies and will have to rely on fast food to get by.
