SRTT Chapter 15.3

Cheng Jikuan frowned and said: “Now you can see that both our houses are occupied. There is no empty house.”

Qin Ruide was left behind in the crowd. He squeezed through the crowd awkwardly and looked inside. He saw Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili standing together, while Cheng Jikuan stood alone on the side. “Yes, there are people in both households. Let’s continue going upstairs.”

The young man suddenly laughed: “Leader Qin, please don’t be in a hurry. We must also solve the problem of locking the safety door.”

Qin Ruide looked at him: “What do you want to solve?”

“Now that the water is still rising, we may have to move upstairs. These two families have locked the safety door. Where will we live in the future?”

Cheng Jikuan said: “There is still room upstairs.”

The man looked at him and said, “What if I just want to live on the 18th floor? This is a public place, why do you lock it?”

“Yeah, why do they lock it?” Someone said.

“This is against the fire code!”

“These two families are so selfish. Our house was flooded, and they actually locked the safety door so that we couldn’t even sleep in the corridor, right?”

Someone got excited and banged the wooden door vigorously: “You three, open the safety door quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame us for smashing the door!”

Ruan Ning saw that each of them had a tool in their hands. It was obvious that they were going to do something big.

Cheng Jikuan explained in a low voice at this time: “They want to find an unoccupied house, pry it open, and move in.”

Ruan Ning was not surprised, raised her voice, and said: “Brothers, aren’t you looking for a house? Why do you need a corridor?”

Everyone paused. Then, the young man said: “We are looking for a house, but what should we do if we can’t find it?”

Ruan Ning: “There are so many households downstairs. Didn’t you find any of them?”

The others didn’t say anything.

In fact, they had already broken into two empty houses. One of them was empty and no one lived there, while the other one was fully furnished. There were beds in all four rooms, and with the sofas, quite a few people could sleep there.

Moreover, this family still had some food, which they put away.

Qin Ruide tried his best to be a peacemaker: “Everyone, the purpose of our Self-Help Association is to unite and save ourselves. There is no need to have conflicts with other residents. How about this? Let’s continue to look upstairs. Maybe there are still rooms and food.”

Everyone looked at each other. Most people didn’t want to cause trouble. It was just a tiny corridor, so there was no need to worry about it.

The young man was not interested in the corridor in the first place. He glanced at Qin Ruide and said, “Okay, let’s find a place to stay today. If there are no rooms left, this security door cannot be locked again.”

After saying that, he looked at Ruan Ning meaningfully.

Ruan Ning raised her eyebrows and gave him a more meaningful look.

The man didn’t take it to heart at all. He probably thought that Ruan Ning was attractive and hot.

He smiled, approached the security door, and knocked twice on the window with his left hand like a pervert: “I haven’t introduced myself to the two beauties yet. My name is Wu Jin. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future.”

Hearing this name, Ruan Ning was stunned at first. Then, she was overjoyed.
