Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 161 - : Three Large Ships Arrived

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Three Large Ships Arrived

“Let’s hurry downstairs and tell Brother Tao and Brother Zhao the good news!” Ye Qing lost his usual composure, excitedly said.

Sun Jingtao and Zhao Pengfei were on the 24th floor, and the windows were covered with blackout curtains, so they couldn’t see the outside scene.

“Okay,” Jiang Yan nodded and pushed the invisible door open.

She really wanted to find an opportunity to enter the Space first and take Hua Bao in as well, enjoying those gold bars.

But after thinking it over, she gave up.

Even though they’d wiped out the enemy forces, the danger alarm couldn’t be lifted just yet.

...

It was better to go downstairs and meet up with Sun Jingtao and the others.

There was no need to rush at this very moment.

After entering the stairwell, the two of them automatically went into silent mode.

Ye Qing took the lead and moved to the front.

There were too many rooms inside the building block, and some remnants might be hiding out.

Not like the 32nd floor mezzanine, which was built with ochre steel frames, it was all clear at a glance.

The two of them quickened their pace and soon reached the 25th floor.

From afar, Jiang Yan could hear a little boy’s heart-wrenching cries.

And the whispering voices of many people.

What was called whispering was nothing more than the result of being too weak and exhausted.

Still, both she and Ye Qing subconsciously took the guns in their hands.

Because it was a hanging floor, they could see a crowd bustling below.

A bunch of men, groups of four or five, armed with knives and such, were helping each other in the dark, trying to let down the remaining children who were hanging.

Normally, it was a job for one person, but now, everyone seemed too weak and powerless, and with a limited number of daggers, they were acting together.

It seemed that Sun Jingtao had a clear mind.

He first saved the relatively stronger and taller men.

Then, with the help of these men, he went on to rescue the children and women.

Though Ye Qing had previously described the situation on this floor, Jiang Yan still involuntarily took a sharp breath upon seeing those iron cages and the people hanging from them.

“Brother Tao!” Ye Qing scanned the area and not finding Sun Jingtao or Zhao Pengfei, he shouted out loud.

Hearing the shout, Sun Jingtao turned his head and waved at them.

At the moment, he was standing in a pool that hung full of women, and he was sweating profusely as he worked to untie them with a dagger.

“Jiang Yan, there’s something wrong with this water, and it’s really cold. You wait here for us, don’t go down,” Ye Qing said, and with large strides, he went ahead to help Sun Jingtao.

Looking at the people standing by the pool with their lips purple from the cold and shivering, Jiang Yan frowned.

Now that the rain had stopped, it was very possible that the previously stagnant temperatures would continue to drop.

If there were no extra heating equipment, these people, even if rescued now, would eventually freeze to death.

She remembered that aside from the bedding in the guest rooms, there were linen rooms in this hotel.

They had lots of towels and blankets, which could be used for temporary warmth.

“Hua Bao, can you check the map and tell me which floor the hotel’s linen room is on?” Jiang Yan communicated with Hua Bao through her thoughts.

“Hee hee hee!” Mom, the hotel’s main linen room is on the basement level— it’s the biggest.

Besides that, on the other floors, near the corners, there are also small linen rooms.

“Ye Qing!” Jiang Yan called Ye Qing back.

Ye Qing looked slightly startled but still walked over to her, “Jiang Yan, what’s up?”

“Pass the daggers to others; you and I will each lead a group to the linen room.”

The reason being them, was because they had guns.

They could intimidate the crowd.

Although these people were all ordinary citizens,

when it came to blankets or other heating materials, there was still the possibility of a scramble.

Additionally, should an ambush occur, they could handle and deal with it.

“Okay.” Ye Qing didn’t ask further, and turned around to give the dagger to a skinny but handsome young man.

“Brother Tao, we will lead the people upstairs first.”

“Okay, be careful,” Sun Jingtao understood in a second and didn’t ask any further questions.

“Where’s Zhao Pengfei? I haven’t seen him,” Jiang Yan said with confusion as Ye Qing approached.

Ye Qing relayed to Jiang Yan exactly what Sun Jingtao had told him, “He’s gone. In his haste to save his son, he encountered a sniper hiding in a dark spot.”

Jiang Yan: “…”

“Everyone who can stand up, split into two groups and follow us!” Jiang Yan took a breath, pulled herself together, scanned the people who had been untied by the pool, then rallied with a wave of her arm.

The people didn’t understand, but they complied nonetheless.

Some were so shaky that they could hardly stay on their feet, yet they still stood up.

Ye Qing and Jiang Yan picked out a few people.

Then, each leading a group, they slowly made their way upstairs.

Four hours later, all the people who had been tied up and suspended were successfully rescued.

The blankets and wool blankets, towels, etc., from the linen rooms on each floor were all moved to the 26th and 27th floors.

However, since half of the windows on the floors were shattered, all these people were crammed into the rooms on the other half of the area.

With a lot of people and these blankets and wool blankets, it was much warmer.

Someone even suggested burning the hotel’s furniture in the corridors for warmth, but Jiang Yan and the others temporarily vetoed this idea.

A few people who were relatively strong and in good physical condition searched the floors and actually found some food.

Even though it was spoiled, it’s better than nothing and could temporarily alleviate hunger.

“Jiang Yan, what do you think we should do next?” Sun Jingtao asked, pulling Jiang Yan and Ye Qing aside to discuss in a corner of the corridor, looking visibly tired.

They had found the people who were taken away from Shallow Bay,

but many others were from different communities.

Even if they only transported those from Shallow Bay, their rubber boats were impractical.

“I feel like the temperature is obviously colder now than before, it’s very likely that the water surface will freeze over quickly,” Jiang Yan stated bluntly.

This was an inference based on her experience from her previous life.

But she obviously couldn’t say that outright.

“Freeze over?” Ye Qing turned his head and glanced outside the window.

It was now nearly seven in the morning.

It was starting to get light.

Without the torrential rain, the brightness outside had noticeably improved.

Sun Jingtao had already learned about the rain stopping from Ye Qing.

In fact, he longed to go home to find his wife Su Dai,

but he found it hard to leave all these people alone, struggling to reconcile it with his conscience.

“If it does freeze, it’s not necessarily a bad thing,” Sun Jingtao frowned in thought.

What they lacked now was transportation.

If the water surface froze, at least there would be a greater chance for these people to make their way to nearby communities.

Finding some food for the moment also increased the hope of survival.

However, it would take some time for the ice to thicken enough to walk on.

Just as Sun Jingtao had an idea and was about to seek the opinions of Jiang Yan and Ye Qing, a young man quickly came over and said,

“Three heroes, three large ships have arrived outside! They have official flags and many armed warriors!”
