"mind."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, she looked at her with a half-smile.

The other party's question made her feel inexplicably embarrassed and dumbfounded, but naturally she couldn't reveal her true emotions easily.

Wen Wanli's eyes suddenly turned red. She bit her bloody lips tightly and said with some embarrassment:

"Then, please don't kill us. They said you have a gun and shoot to kill when you are unhappy. We live next door and will not make you unhappy."

Jiang Yan: "." Is she that scary?

In addition, although the other party seemed to be about the same age as her, his words and deeds were a bit similar to that of an eight or nine-year-old child who made mistakes.

Combined with the wounds on her body, Jiang Yan had to be confused for a moment.

But she didn't want to have a casual conversation with the other party, so she said "ok" and continued walking downstairs.

Wen Wanli pursed her lips and wanted to say something to her, but she heard the door upstairs creak.

Judging from the direction where the sound came from, it was probably 3203.

There were heavy footsteps coming towards the fire door.

A trace of panic flashed in Wen Wanli's eyes. After nodding to Jiang Yan to say goodbye, she quickly walked up holding the things in her hands.

The moment they passed each other, Jiang Yan casually glanced at the thing in her hand.

It was some boxed instant noodles, a children's book with muddy footprints, and half a pack of the cheapest cigarettes.

On the other side, Wen Wanli had climbed to the fire door in three steps and two steps.

"Hey! Wife, you're back! Come on, let me get it for you!" It was Wang Jin's voice.

It sounds gentle and considerate, and has nothing to do with domestic violence or anything like that.

Wen Wanli's reply was not heard.

"Bang!" The door of 3203 slammed shut.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly and continued walking down.

Starting from the 31st floor, people started going downstairs carrying large and small bags of luggage.

Almost all young people.

But the number of people is not that large.

There are also old people who come out to say goodbye and so on.

Some people recognized Jiang Yan, and some didn't.

However, everyone's thoughts were almost on the cruise ship that was coming soon, and they didn't pay much attention to her.

The windows for identity verification and boarding were on the 18th floor. Jiang Yan was about to go to the 20th floor, but she didn't want to. As soon as she reached the 21st floor, she was blocked in front.

Although the ship didn't arrive until 12 noon, everyone had already queued up.

There were also many people who had not boarded the ship in the morning and had not left in the meantime. They had stayed in place eagerly.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to go to the 22nd floor.

The elevator waiting area and passage on the 22nd floor were full of people.

They should all decide to stay and not go to the official base or the conditions are not met.

It was almost dinner time, and two families worked together to light a fire and grill fish.

They bake a lot, so it should be more than just preparing lunch.

The weather outside is very cold, but the temperature is still high in the crowded areas in the passage.

Coupled with the humid air, it is not easy to preserve.

It can only be marinated or dried.

As the fire grew stronger, the aroma of sizzling oil and thick smoke began to fill the passage.

When they saw her entering, everyone looked wary.

Some people who were sitting on the ground even stood up with fists clenched.

It wasn't until they saw her stop in front of the glass window at the entrance that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The area near the channel window is empty.

Several of the glass windows had been cracked by hail, and someone had used some plastic bags to cover them, but rainwater still got in from time to time.

The ground was wet and there was a lot of water.

Jiang Yan looked out the window and saw a vast ocean.

A few people risked their lives to catch fish in the water, but it seemed that the harvest was not big.

The fish and leeches seemed to appear one after another.

The water level outside is still rising.

Fortunately, the temperature did not continue to drop.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Hey, it's twelve o'clock, and the boat hasn't come!" Someone in the passage exclaimed.

Nowadays, there is no need to go to work or school, and many people do not have watches. Their mobile phones and computers have long run out of power, and they have long lost the sense of time.

Most of them are done at sunrise and rest at sunset.

I even went to bed before it got dark and was still lying down at noon.

It's like animals hibernating.

The less you move, the less you will be hungry.

Food can be saved.

"It won't come because it's raining too much, right?"

"Are the official words of the old lady a lie? It's a shame that my blood was boiling after listening to it this morning!"

"It shouldn't happen. It's raining so heavily now. Who can be so punctual? Maybe there was something delayed in the middle."

"I don't know. Anyway, I saw Xiao Zhang and his wife waiting downstairs all morning. They said their legs were about to break."

"Yes, I went downstairs to hear them say that I had to hold in my pee when I had an urgent need to urinate, and I didn't dare to leave because I was afraid that someone would take my seat as soon as I left."

"Hey, I hope the ship comes. If it comes, we can move in 2204."

"Yes, yes. If 2204 cannot board the ship, our plan to move in will be ruined. How about we also ask them to take us in?"

"Bah, bah, bah, don't say anything unlucky. Just wait and see."

No one in the channel goes to the official base.

However, everyone is still very interested in whether the cruise ship can come.

On the one hand, the ship came, and the people in some houses went to the base, and they moved in justifiably.

On the other hand, the arrival of the ship also means that the official has kept its promise or is reliable.

To put it bluntly, no matter how heavy the rain was, the official did not abandon them, and the official was still there like a needle in the sea.

All in all, it is a manifestation of confidence.

But now, the ship never came.

Some people were obviously panicking.

"The boat I'm waiting for hasn't come yet, and the person I'm waiting for doesn't understand." Someone sang.

"Look, it's better for us. We should eat, sleep, and sing here. Those people downstairs are all hungry and waiting for God!"

"No, maybe some people living in the corridor will lose their territory when they come back before the boat arrives, haha!"

There were also some people in the crowd who were gloating about their misfortune.

"."

Jiang Yan stood at the window for a long time with her hands folded.

She had a bad feeling: that ship would most likely not come.

*

An hour passed.

The ship still hasn't come.

The confidence and hope that everyone had finally regained early in the morning were instantly destroyed.

There were obviously restless sounds coming from downstairs.

"How about we go to the base ourselves!"

"The rain is so heavy that I can't even see the road clearly. How can we get there?"

"Yes, yes, isn't it just like paddling a rubber boat on the sea? If something happens in the middle, the boat will be destroyed!"

"Fuck! If I had known, I would have lived near the Twin Towers!"

"Yes, the people there are so lucky!"

"Life is hard to buy. If you knew it, this is life!"
