Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 845 Extreme Apocalypse 9

Hearing his words, their excitement subsided somewhat, and they nodded repeatedly.

Li Dayuan also became serious: "A Jing is right. No one is allowed to mention this matter from now on. We also need to cooperate and cover for Tong Tong."

"I know, I know, Dad. I have to go tomorrow too. Even though the situation was a bit dangerous today, it's good for me to get some experience."

Li Xinyan took the opportunity to express her own ideas.

"Are you sure? Aren't you scared this is the first time something like this has happened to you?"

He was also worried that it would leave a shadow on the minds of some of them.

"It's impossible to say I wasn't scared at all. When I saw several people holding knives, my legs really went weak. But later I realized that fighting them wasn't that difficult."

Li Yanjing stood up: "We'll increase the difficulty of the training starting tomorrow morning, everyone get some rest."

After saying that, he went straight back to his room.

Li Xinyan lay back on the sofa, wailing loudly.

Although I was prepared to endure hardship, I still couldn't resist the urge to try it when the time came.

"It's good to get up early and go to bed early. I'm going back to my room now." Ruan Chutong smiled and got up when she saw her like that.

Inside the room, she stood by the window, watching the relentless downpour outside.

After tonight, the fourth floor will soon be flooded as well.

The stairwells on the lower floors were packed with people, and even at this hour, she could still hear the noisy commotion.

People on lower floors want to move to higher floors, and soon people will be coming up to the thirtieth floor as well.

An hour later, she heard a sound and opened the door to go out again.

As I walked from the living room to the front door, I found myself holding an iron gate.

As soon as I opened the stairwell door, I heard footsteps coming up.

The sound of an electric drill chiseling through the wall echoed from the ground floor.

A moment later, the sounds of people arguing could be heard.

"Young lady, how could you install a door at the bottom of the stairs? What right do you have to block us from going up?"

"Yes, how can they be so selfish? The stairwell isn't private property, and the rain is getting heavier; they're cutting off our lifeline."

Ignoring the chatter of the group, Ruan Chutong continued drilling holes in the wall and installing the iron gate.

Her iron gate is sturdier than a regular security door, and can temporarily stop people from carrying it up.

Upon hearing the commotion, the Li and Gao families put on their coats and opened the door to come out.

"Tongtong, are you installing an iron gate? How do you know how to do this?" Xu Zhenzhu looked at her daughter's actions in surprise.

She had no idea that her daughter had learned about installing doors, and that her movements seemed quite skilled.

I couldn't help but wonder if I hadn't cared for her enough, and that my daughter had suffered a lot without my knowledge.

Seeing that everyone had come out, Ruan Chutong casually replied, "This is very simple, you'll learn it after watching it."

"Pearl, your Chutong is really capable," Gao's mother said with some admiration.

"Cough, it's nothing, the child was just imagining things." Xu Zhenzhu said this, but there was a smile in her eyes.

Li Yanjing went over to take a look and found that all the parts were complete and there were tools available, so it was indeed not difficult: "Let me give it a try."

Watching her work on it all by herself, he knew he wouldn't argue, but he could still help with the chores.

Since someone was willing to take over, Ruan Chutong was happy to rest for a while and made way for him: "Okay, then you can do it."

At this moment, Li Xinyan had already started arguing with the people outside.

"So what if we're installing a door? There are so many floors below, yet you insist on coming to the very top. Are you saying we can't stop you?"

"How can you be so unreasonable, little girl?"

"Why are you arguing with us here? This hallway isn't yours."

Some people got angry and grabbed clotheslines, intending to stab someone, trying to stop them from installing the door by causing trouble.

Li Dayuan and Gao's father were both quick and almost simultaneously snatched the clothesline from the man.

After their clothesline was stolen, two men tried to push open the iron gate.

It looked like a conflict was about to break out, and the two sides were about to start arguing and fighting.

"Make way, make way, the boiling water is here. If you don't leave, I'll just pour it on you. If you get burned, you'll just have to wait to die."

After being reminded by his mother, Gao Mingcheng went back and boiled a kettle of water.

At this moment, apart from Li Yanjing who was single-mindedly installing the door, everyone else made way for Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng made a splashing motion, and the scalding water splashed out.

Upon seeing the steaming hot water, the people outside immediately ran downstairs and kept their distance.

I was afraid he would pour a pot of boiling water over me and scald me.

In the current situation, if you get burned or have an infection, there are no hospitals to go to and no medicine to save your life.

"Forget it, let's go down one floor and stay here instead of going upstairs."

Only after they had driven the people away did the two families begin to speak.

Li Dayuan sighed: "There are no houses upstairs, so it would be good to install a door in the stairwell to prevent people from crowding here."

Upon hearing this, Gao Mingcheng nodded: "People live in the stairwells of the lowest floors, which not only makes the walkways difficult, but also creates an unpleasant smell."

Li Xinyan asked, "Sister Tong, how did you know someone would come to our floor tonight?"

According to their thinking, ordinary people would not move to that area for the time being.

Ruan Chutong made up a story: "I was thirsty and went to the living room to get some water. That's when I heard the sound."

"No wonder. But was this door also something you picked up in the office building today?"

During the day, they didn't pay much attention to the door, never expecting there to be such an iron door there.

"Yes, in a warehouse, I saw several of these doors, and they were all new, so I bought them all."

"That's probably a company that specializes in selling iron gates."

Mr. and Mrs. Gao were confused. They didn't know that Ruan Chutong had a spatial ability, and they didn't understand what they meant by "closing the door".

Still wondering why everyone came back together, didn't the others know?

Seeing the two of them like this, Gao Mingcheng nudged them with his hand, signaling them not to ask any more questions.

Seeing this, the two no longer showed any doubt. They were both sensible people; if they didn't understand, they would just pretend they didn't know.

"Old Gao, Pearl, you all take everyone back to rest. Ah Jing and I will take care of this door."

Li Dayuan held the door open for Li Yanjing and turned to speak to them.

Seeing that everyone was still a little hesitant, Li Yanjing spoke up: "We have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I'll be done here soon."

Hearing him say that, Ruan Chutong nodded: "Let's go, Mom, Xinyan, and Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao, you should all go back to sleep."

Seeing that they couldn't help, everyone had no choice but to go back.

After returning home, Ruan Chutong did not go to sleep immediately, but instead went into her spatial dimension to take a shower.

She came back soaking wet today, and although she wiped herself down with hot water, she still wasn't used to going to bed without taking a shower.

The torrential rains have lasted for more than two months, and the water level has risen to the twentieth floor. The government stopped distributing food supplies a month ago.

The floors above the 20th floor are now packed with people.
