Chapter 20: I will make you pay with your life

But there is no use in keeping tight-lipped and pretending not to understand. The real danger is not him, but the survivors who are watching eagerly downstairs.

He can guarantee that he has absolutely no plot against Song Jinhe, but once the other survivors get hold of her, they will hold on to her, so they must be cautious in everything.

He had been able to cover Song Jinhe for a while by going out early and returning late every day to search for supplies, but if she continued to stay at home without showing up, the people downstairs would definitely notice something was wrong when half of his supplies were consumed.

After all, supplies don’t grow out of thin air at home, right?

At that time, even if he continues to search for supplies to help her cover up, it will be useless. After all, supplies are getting harder to find day by day. It is even more difficult for him to search for two people by himself. If he goes out every day, he will come back empty-handed one day.

That's when the most terrifying thing comes.

At this moment, Song Jinhe, who had received Cheng Qianhuai's hint, was sitting on the sofa and his heart was in a mess. Not only was he regretful about his actions, but he was also suspicious of Cheng Qianhuai.

Although he was really kind to her and would give her any valuable material no matter how precious it was, it didn't mean that he didn't have any ill intentions towards her.

People change. In the future, if Cheng Qianhuai talks about this incident to the other survivors and arouses others' suspicion, what will she do?

She has experienced the apocalypse and knows that human nature cannot stand the test. She originally thought that joining forces with Cheng Qianhuai in Jinyuan Licheng would be a good choice.

But seeing that her secret had been exposed, she had to be vigilant.

"Fortunately, it is only the 40th day after the end of the world. At worst, I have the habit of collecting food and water. Although it is a bit exaggerated, I can still fool it."

Song Jinhe patted his chest to comfort himself, but his hanging heart was not relieved.

According to her plan, she was to stay in Jinyuan Belvedere until the house was damaged and uninhabitable. It seemed that she would have to go out to search for supplies in the future to cope with other people's suspicions.

She scratched her head irritably, packed up her things after entering the space, and then sat by the lake and began to be in a daze.

What does Cheng Qianhuai mean? According to his insight, he must have noticed something was wrong before he warned her.

But is this a friendly reminder or a side threat? How should she react?

If she directly put this matter out in the open, it might reveal more flaws. Deliberately explaining the source of the supplies would also seem like she was taking this matter too seriously, which would also seem weird.

Song Jinhe covered his face and rubbed it helplessly, then just pretended that this incident never happened.

Cheng Qianhuai only mentioned that she had sufficient supplies and did not need to go out to search, but did not secretly give her any other information.

Maybe this man really does his best for her and is just kindly reminding her?

After all, you don't have to be suspicious of others. Since you have chosen to join forces with him temporarily, you can't be extremely wary of him every day. If this continues, the relationship between the two parties will one day collapse.

Cheng Qianhuai naturally knew that his words would cause some estrangement in the relationship between the two that had finally become harmonious, but to him nothing was as important as Song Jinhe.

As long as she can survive this disaster safely, what if he is misunderstood and ignored?

All he wanted in his heart was to make her safe and happy. He only needed to protect her secretly, and he didn't necessarily have to force her to accept him by threatening to repay him.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but they still had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter again.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Song Jinhe has put on a thick quilt, and even stuffed two hot water bottles into the quilt.

According to the theory, heating should have started before the end of the world, but I am afraid that this treatment will not be available from now on.

Song Jinhe tightened the quilt covering himself, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the window, he subconsciously raised his head and looked outside.

It is still gloomy. Today is the 43rd day of the apocalypse. The rising speed of the water has slowed down a lot, and the survivors barely have time to breathe.

Every day from the 18th floor, you can see a few small black spots floating on the water, but it can be seen that the supplies they harvest are getting less and less, and their movements are getting slower and slower.

Although he was at home, Song Jinhe could also learn about the situation outside. This was all thanks to the survivors in Building 3.

Recently, I can often hear them having large-scale quarrels at home. It looks like there is blood, and there are constant whines and curses. It is so noisy that people are not in the mood to rest.

Lying in the warm bed and falling asleep, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking, followed by screams from near and far.

With a splash of water, the screams suddenly stopped, followed by a woman's painful cries.

Song Jinhe was completely sleepless now. He stood up helplessly and walked to the kitchen, intending to cook himself a steaming bowl of millet porridge.

The weather wasn't great, but her appetite was pretty good.

Standing by the kitchen window washing rice, the noise downstairs became more and more obvious. Song Jinhe ate the melon with relish, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

A farce was taking place in 1702 at the moment. The eldest daughter of this family was thrown directly from the window and fell into the water without any reaction.

The woman grabbed the window sill and screamed in pain. Her husband clenched his fists and confronted the culprit standing in the corner.

"You fucking harmed my daughter! I'm going to make you pay with your life!"

He yelled and rushed forward, but was kicked to the ground by the man.

"Your daughter stole my supplies. In this world, supplies are life. She wants my life. Why can't I fight back and kill her?"

The man's body was covered in muscles, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he obviously had the intention of continuing to attack.

Zhao Yiming, who could only break up the fight because of his injuries, held his shoulders and shouted feebly: "What are you doing! Are you killing each other?"

It is not easy for us to survive. Are you still thinking of hurting each other? "

After listening to his words, the two men with red eyes stopped, but their eyes were still full of anger. It was obvious that if they had another chance, they would still spare no effort to kill each other.

The woman lying by the window saw the quarrel subsided, then turned around with a sob, grabbed the curtain and collapsed on the ground.

"Aren't there less and less supplies to find? My daughter chooses to steal things because she doesn't have enough to eat. Why don't you, the building manager, think of a way?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yiming became furious. He grabbed the vase nearby and threw it directly to the ground. The sound of the porcelain breaking made everyone tremble, and he stopped talking for an instant.

"Is it because I don't want to find food? Seeing that we have searched all the surrounding communities and fished out all the supplies we could dive for, what else do you want?

If we want to find food, we can only walk further, but it’s raining heavily and the water is running fast. By then, if we find the food, will we be able to use it?"

His voice made many people watching the excitement lower their heads. This was indeed a fact. They had found everything they could find around them. If they wanted to eat more, they would have to pay for it with their lives.
